As used in this subsection, “extraordinary dividend” and “extraordinary distribution” mean any dividend or distribution of cash or other property, the fair market value of which, together with that of other dividends or distributions within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of:
(a) Ten percent of the surplus of the captive insurer as of December 31 next preceding the date of the dividend or distribution; or
(b) The net income of the captive insurer for the 12-month period ending December 31 next preceding the date of the dividend or distribution.
