(b) The public interest and the interests of policyholders are adversely affected if:

(1) control of an insurer is sought by persons who would use the control adversely to the interest of policyholders;

(2) acquisition of control of an insurer substantially lessens competition or creates a monopoly in the insurance business in this state;

(3) an insurer that is part of a holding company system is caused to enter into transactions or relationships with affiliated companies on terms that are not fair and reasonable; or

(4) an insurer pays dividends to shareholders that jeopardize the financial condition of the insurer.

(1) facilitating the achievement of the objectives described by Subsection (a);
