Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership

 

On June 2, 2023, Unico American Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it was notified on June 1, 2023 that the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California (the “Commissioner”) filed a Verified Petition For Order Appointing the Insurance Commissioner as the Conservator of the principal operating subsidiary of the Company, Crusader Insurance Company (“Crusader”) on May 31, 2023 (the “Petition”). The Petition was filed with the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, Central District (the “Court”) as the first step of actions by the Commissioner to place Crusader into conservation under the provisions of Section 1011(d) of the California Insurance Code and will result in control of Crusader being assumed by the Commissioner upon entry of an order appointing the Commissioner as conservator.

 

Following the Petition, it is expected that the Commissioner will file an ex parte application and proposed order of conservation, which is expected to occur during the week of June 5, 2023. The Commissioner asserts in the Petition that Crusader is operating in such an impaired financial condition that the further transaction of business by it will be, and is, hazardous to the policyholders, creditors and the public. In the Petition, the Commissioner is requesting the Court to issue an Order appointing the Commissioner as the Conservator of Crusader. Upon entry of the Order, which the Company expects to occur, the Commissioner, as Conservator (the “Conservator”), will take control of Crusader and conduct its business, including all powers of the directors, officers and managers of Crusader, with the authority of such persons being suspended except as for such powers as the Conservator may redelegate. The Order will also enjoin the directors, officers, agents, and employees of Crusader from transacting any business of Crusader except as may be expressly authorized by the Conservator and will enjoin all persons from instituting, prosecuting or maintaining any action and or other legal proceedings against any of the property of Crusader or from interfering with the conduct of the business by the Conservator.
