The initial minimum surplus of any insurer shall be paid in cash within twelve months from the date of its charter and no policies shall be issued by it until the total amount required by law and specified in the charter is paid-in. A majority of the directors shall certify under oath that this requirement has been met and that the money paid-in is held as assets of the insurer to be invested as required by this Code.
