(a) 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 article or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the commissioner hereunder, the commissioner may apply to the superior court for the county in which the principal office of the insurer is located, or if such insurer has no such office in this state, then to the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, or for the City and County of San Francisco, for an order enjoining such insurer or such director, officer, employee, or agent thereof from violating or continuing to violate this article 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.

(b) No security which is the subject of any agreement or arrangement regarding acquisition, or which is acquired or to be acquired in contravention of the provisions of this article or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the commissioner hereunder, may be voted at any shareholders’ meeting, or may be counted for quorum purposes, and any action of shareholders requiring the vote of an affirmative percentage of shares may be taken as though such securities were not issued and outstanding. 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 article or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the commissioner hereunder, the insurer or the commissioner may apply to the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles or for the City and County of San Francisco or to the superior court for the county in which the insurer has its principal place of business for equitable relief to enjoin the voting of any such security or to void any vote of such security already cast, at any meeting of shareholders.
