Sec. 11. (a) The commissioner or any deputy, actuary, assistant, examiner, or employee or any other person having access to any information obtained through an examination conducted under IC 27-1-3.1 may not disclose to any person, other than officially to the department, by the report made to it, or to the board of directors, trustees, partners, attorney-in-fact, or owners, or in compliance with an order of a court, any information concerning the affairs of any insurance company as shown by the report of the examination of such company by the department. However, this prohibition against disclosure does not apply after the report of the examiners has been submitted to the department and the department has in turn submitted the report with its recommendations, if any, to the board of directors, trustees, partners, attorney-in-fact, or owners.

     (b) This section does not prohibit the publication by any company of the facts contained in its own examination.
