Membership in a mutual insurer or subscribership in a reciprocal insurer, or ownership of stock in an insurer by the alien property custodian or similar officer of the United States or ownership of stock or other security without voting rights as to the insurer management, or supervision of an insurer by public authority, shall not be deemed to be an ownership or control of the insurer under this subsection.
B. The superintendent shall not grant or continue authority to transact insurance to any insurer or proposed insurer:
(1) of which any director, officer or other individual materially part of its management is found by him after investigation or upon reliable information to be incompetent, or dishonest, or untrustworthy, or of unfavorable business repute; or
(2) of which the managers are so lacking in insurer managerial experience in operations as existing or proposed in this state as to make such operations currently or prospectively hazardous to or contrary to the best interests of the insurance-buying or investing public of this state; or
(3) which he has reason to believe is affiliated directly or indirectly through ownership, control, management, reinsurance or other business relations with any person or persons of unfavorable business repute; or
(4) the business operations of whose director, officer, manager or controlling owner are or have been marked, to the injury of insurers, stockholders, policyholders, creditors or the public, by illegality, or by manipulation of assets, or of accounts, or of reinsurance, or by bad faith; or
(5) as to which the superintendent is not satisfied that its business policies and methods would be in the best interests of the people of New Mexico.
