HRS §431:20-110.5
Rules for paying dividends from title insurer profits
A title insurance company can only pay dividends using profits left over after keeping enough money to cover its stock value, reinsurance reserve, and all debts and expected losses. This protects the company's financial health.
The statute, as written — Dividends
A title insurer shall not pay any dividends except from profits remaining on hand after retaining unimpaired assets aggregating in value an amount equal to the sum of the following: (1) The aggregate par value of the shares of its capital stock, issued and outstanding, including treasury shares; (2) The amount set apart as the title insurance reinsurance reserve; and (3) A sum sufficient to pay all liabilities for expenses and taxes, all losses reported or in course of settlement, and all other indebtedness, without impairment of the amount required to be set apart as the title insurance reinsurance reserve.
