(1) Whenever it appears to the commissioner that any insurer or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof has committed or is about to commit a violation of this chapter or of any rule, regulation or order issued by the commissioner hereunder, the commissioner may apply to chancery court for the county in which the principal office of the insurer is located, or if such insurer has no office in this state, then to the Chancery Court of Hinds County for an order enjoining such insurer or such director, officer, employee or agent thereof from violating or continuing to violate this chapter or any such rule, regulation or order, and for such other equitable relief as the nature of the case and the interests of the insurer’s policyholders, creditors and shareholders or the public may require.

(2) No security that is the subject of any agreement or arrangement regarding acquisition, or that is acquired or to be acquired, in contravention of the provisions of this chapter or of any rule, regulation or order issued by the commissioner hereunder may be voted at any shareholder’s meeting or may be counted for quorum purposes, and any action of shareholders requiring the affirmative vote of a percentage of shares may be taken as though such securities were not issued and outstanding; but no action taken at any such meeting shall be invalidated by the voting of such securities unless the action would materially affect control of the insurer or unless the courts of this state have so ordered. If an insurer or the commissioner has reason to believe that any security of the insurer has been or is about to be acquired in contravention of the provisions of this chapter or of any rule, regulation or order issued by the commissioner hereunder, the insurer or the commissioner may apply to the Chancery Court of Hinds County to enjoin any offer, request, invitation, agreement or acquisition made in contravention of any rule, regulation or order issued by the commissioner thereunder to enjoin the voting of any security so acquired, to void any vote of such security already cast at any meeting of shareholders and for such other equitable relief as the nature of the case and the interest of the insurer’s policyholders, creditors and shareholders or the public may require.

(3) In any case where a person has acquired or is proposing to acquire any voting securities in violation of this chapter or any rule, regulation or order issued by the commissioner hereunder, the Chancery Court of Hinds County, on the notice as the court requires, upon the application of the insurer or the commissioner, may seize or sequester any voting securities of the insurer owned directly or indirectly by the person and issue the order with respect thereto as may be appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this chapter. For the purposes of this section, the situs of the ownership of the securities of domestic insurers shall be in this state.
