The insurers shall furnish the superintendent such additional information in relation to the proposed merger or consolidation as the superintendent may reasonably require.
[PL 1973, c. 585, §12 (AMD).]

A. Is contrary to law; or [PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
B. Is inequitable to the policyholders of any domestic insurer involved; or [PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
C. Would substantially reduce the security of and service to be rendered to policyholders of the domestic insurer; or [PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
D. Would materially tend to lessen competition in the insurance business in this State or elsewhere as to the kinds of insurance involved, or would materially tend to create a monopoly as to such business; or [PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
E. Is subject to other material and reasonable objections. [PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
[PL 1973, c. 585, §12 (AMD).]
3. If the superintendent does not approve the plan and agreement he shall so notify the insurers parties thereto in writing, specifying his reasons therefor.
