The plan shall establish 1 or more segregated accounts for the benefit of the closed block of business and shall allocate to those segregated accounts enough assets of the mutual company so that the assets together with the revenue from the closed block of business are sufficient to support the closed block including, but not limited to, the payment of claims, expenses, taxes, and any dividends that are provided for under the terms of the participating policies, with appropriate adjustments in the dividends for experience changes.

The plan shall be accompanied by an actuarial opinion as to the adequacy of reserves or assets by a qualified actuary or an appointed actuary who meets the standards required under this act or under regulations established under this act for the submission of actuarial opinions. The actuarial opinion shall relate to the adequacy of the assets allocated to the segregated accounts in support of the closed block of business. The actuarial opinion shall be based on methods of analysis considered appropriate for those purposes by the actuarial standards board and as certified by the commissioner. The amount of assets allocated to the segregated accounts of the closed block shall be based upon the mutual life insurance company's last annual statement that is updated to the effective date of the reorganization.

The converted company shall keep a separate accounting for the closed block and shall make and include in the annual statement to be filed with the commissioner each year a separate statement showing the gains, losses, and expenses properly attributable to the closed block.

Upon the commissioner's approval, assets allocated to the closed block that are in excess of the amount of assets necessary to support the remaining policies in the closed block shall periodically revert to the benefit of the converted company.

The commissioner may waive the requirement for the establishment or continuation of a closed block of business if the commissioner considers it to be in the best interest of the participating policyholders of a converted company to do so.

This section applies only to mutual life insurance companies.
