Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 500. Insurance Code of 1956 § 500.6025

Sec. 6025. (1) A mutual holding company has the same powers granted to domestic mutual insurance companies and is subject to the same requirements of this act applicable to mutual companies that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter except that a mutual holding company does not have authority to transact an insurance business. The commissioner may exempt a mutual holding company from any requirement of this act that the commissioner finds inapplicable to a company that is not issuing policies of insurance or reinsurance.

(2) Neither the mutual holding company nor any intermediate holding company shall issue or reinsure policies of insurance.

(3) With the commissioner's approval and as provided under this act, a mutual holding company may enter into an affiliation, consolidation, merger, or acquisition agreement either at or after the effective date of a reorganization under this chapter with any mutual insurance company authorized to do business in this state or with any mutual holding company organized in this state or any other state or the District of Columbia.

(4) The assets of a mutual holding company organized under this chapter are subject to a lien in favor of the policyholders of the converted company under such terms as the commissioner may approve.
