When the principal of any securities deposited under §§ 38-9-80 to 38-9-140 is paid to the director or his designee, he shall pay the money so received to the company. However, if the securities were required to be deposited under § 38-9-80 the payment may not be made until the company deposits an equal amount of other securities of the character required for similar deposits.
