be notified at his last known address within six months after the expiration

164. (Impairment of Assets or Surplus; Insolvency.) If it appears
to the Insurance Commissioner after an examination made by him, or by
an examiner appointed by him, or in the case of any mutual insurance
company incorporated outside of this State, after an audit of its financial
statement, that the assets or surplus of any mutual insurance company
are insufficient to justify its continuance in business, or that the net assets
over and above legal reserves and all other liabilities of any mutual in-
surance company authorized to write fidelity or surety bonds, or work-
men's compensation or automobile or public liability insurance, shall have
fallen below $50,000, he shall determine the amount of such deficiency and
issue a written requisition to the officers of the company requiring them
to make good such deficiency within a time to be specified therein, not less
than thirty nor more than ninety days from the service of such requisi-
tion. Such service may be made by mail, directed to the company at its
home office as specified in its charter. Upon the service of such requisition
the directors of the company shall forthwith cause such deficiency to be
made good and proof to be filed with the Commissioner within the time
specified in the requisition that the same has been made good. For any
losses accruing upon new risks after the expiration of such time and before
such deficiency shall be made good, the directors of the company shall
jointly and severally be personally liable therefor. If such deficiency shall
not be made good within the time specified in such requisition and satis-
factory proof thereof filed with the Commissioner, the company shall be
proceeded against as in the case of an insolvent corporation in the manner
authorized by law. Provided, however, that any companies that are licensed
to do business in this State on June 1,1939, shall be given three years from
June 1, 1939, to comply with the provisions of this Section.
