LIABILITY OF EMPLOYER
SEC. 4062. (a) This section applies to any employer who maintained a plan (other than a multiemployer plan) at the time it was terminated, but does not apply— (1) to an employer who maintained a plan with respect to which he paid the annual premium described in section 4006(a)(2)(B) for each of the 5 plan years immediately preceding the plan year during which the plan terminated unless the conditions imposed by the corporation on the payment of coverage under section 4023 do not permit such coverage to apply under the circumstances, or (2) to the extent of any liability arising out of the insolvency of an insurance company with respect to an insurance contract. (b) Any employer to which this section applies shall be liable to the corporation, in an amount equal to the lesser of— (1) the excess of— (A) the current value of the plan's benefits guaranteed under this title on the date of termination over (B) the current value of the plan's assets allocable to such benefits on the date of termination, or (2) 30 percent of the net worth of the employer determined as of a day, chosen by the corporation but not more than 120 days prior to the date of termination, computed without regard to any liability under this section. (c) For purposes of subsection (b)(2) the net worth of an employer is— (1) determined on whatever basis best reflects, in the determination of the corporation, the current status of the employer's operations and prospects at the time chosen for determining the net worth of the employer, and (2) increased by the amount of any transfers of assets made by the employer determined by the corporation to be improper under the circumstances, including any such transfers which would be inappropriate under the Bankruptcy Act if the employer were the subject of a proceeding under that Act. (d) For purposes of this section the following rules apply in the case of certain corporate reorganizations: (1) If an employer ceases to exist by reason of a reorganization which involves a mere change in identity, form, or place of organization, however effected, a successor corporation resulting from such reorganization shall be treated as the employer to whom this section applies. (2) If an employer ceases to exist by reason of a liquidation into a parent corporation, the parent corporation shall be treated as the employer to whom this section applies. (3) If an employer ceases to exist by reason of a merger, consolidation, or division, the successor corporation or corporations shall be treated as the employer to whom this section applies.
