The choice of the form of consideration may take into account such factors as the type of policies with respect to which the consideration is being distributed, the country or state of residence or tax status of the eligible members, the length of time that eligible members have been members of the converting mutual, or other appropriate factors or circumstances described in the plan of conversion. (4) Distribution of all or part of the consideration to some or all of the eligible members may be delayed, or restrictions on sale or transfer of any stock or other securities to be distributed to eligible members may be required, for a reasonable period of time following the effective date of the conversion. That period of time shall not exceed six (6) months, unless approved by the commissioner. Effective: July 15, 2010 History: Amended 2010 Ky.
