A. An insurer may invest in nonassessable (except as to bank or trust company stocks, and except for taxes) common stocks, other than insurance stocks, of any solvent corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or Canada, or of any state or province thereof, which has been in existence and active business operation for at least five (5) years prior to the investment; and if such corporation has had net earnings available for dividends on such stock in each of such five (5) years. If the issuing corporation has not been in legal existence for the whole of such five (5) years but was formed as a consolidation or merger of two or more businesses of which at least one was in operation on a date five (5) years prior to the investment, the test of eligibility of the common stock under this section shall be based upon consolidated pro forma statements of the predecessor or constitutuent [constituent] institutions.
B. An insurer shall not at any time have invested in preferred or guaranteed stocks or common stocks an aggregate of more than ten percent of its assets if a life insurer, or thirty-five percent of its assets if transacting kinds of insurance other than life insurance.
