E. Nothing in this Article or Code shall be deemed to prohibit the by-laws of a captive insurance company from providing for the allocation of underwriting or investment income or loss to the respective accounts of its members, or to prohibit a captive insurance company, if its by-laws so provide and the requirements of this Article are otherwise met, from distributing to a withdrawing member, whether by way of ordinary or liquidating distributions and whether the withdrawal of such member is voluntary or otherwise, on terms and conditions set forth in the by-laws, that member's share of the company's surplus, as well as that portion of the underwriting and investment income allocated to such withdrawing member for the period that such withdrawing member was a member of the mutual company; provided that (i) no such distribution may be made except out of earned, as distinguished from contributed, surplus, (ii) no such distribution shall be made if the surplus of the captive insurance company is less than the original surplus required for the kind or kinds of business authorized to be transacted by such company, or if the payment of such distribution would reduce its surplus to less than the minimum, and (iii) no such distribution shall be made without the approval of the Director if such distribution, together with other such distributions made within the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the date on which the proposed distribution is scheduled for payment or distribution, exceeds the greater of: (i) 10% of the company's surplus as regards policyholders as of the 31st day of December next preceding, or (ii) the net income of the company for the 12-month period ending the 31st day of December next preceding.
