(a) No security or investment, other than property acquired under W.S. 26-7-107(a)(xiii), is eligible for acquisition unless it is interest bearing or interest accruing or dividend or income paying, is not then in default and the insurer is entitled to receive for its exclusive account and benefit the interest or income accruing thereon. Any stock or digital security as defined by W.S. 34-29-101(a)(iii) which has the ability to appreciate in value shall be considered to be income paying for purposes of this subsection.
(b) No security or investment is eligible for purchase at a price above its market value.
(c) Nothing in this chapter prohibits an insurer from acquiring other or additional securities or property if received as a dividend or as a lawful distribution of assets, or under a lawful and bona fide agreement of bulk reinsurance, merger or consolidation. Any investment so acquired which is not otherwise eligible under this chapter shall be disposed of pursuant to W.S. 26-7-112 if real property, or pursuant to W.S. 26-7-113 if personal property or securities.
