Title 21. Insurance

Chapter 9. Authorization of Insurers and General Requirements

Section 300. Disclosure of Material Transactions.

AS 21.09.300. Disclosure of Material Transactions.

(a) A domestic insurer shall file a report with the director disclosing a material acquisition and disposition of assets or a material nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision of ceded reinsurance agreements unless the acquisition and disposition of assets or material nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision of ceded reinsurance agreements have been submitted to the director for review, approval, or information purposes as required by this title.

(b) The report required under (a) of this section is due 15 days after the end of the calendar month in which a reportable transaction occurs.

(c) Except as provided in this section, a report obtained by or disclosed to the director under this section is confidential, is not subject to subpoena, and may not be made public by the director, or another person, without the prior written consent of the insurer submitting the report. A report under this section may be disclosed to an insurance regulatory agency of another state or to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, with notice of the disclosure sent to the insurer. If the director, after giving an insurer notice and an opportunity to be heard, determines that the interest of policyholders, shareholders, or the public will be served by publication of the report, the director may publish all or any part of the report in a manner the director determines appropriate.

(d) A domestic insurer's report of an acquisition or disposition of an asset

(1) shall be made under (a) of this section if the acquisition or disposition is material; for purposes of this subsection, an acquisition or disposition, or the aggregate of a series of related acquisitions or related dispositions during any 30-day period is material if it is nonrecurring, not in the ordinary course of business, and involves more than five percent of the reporting insurer's total admitted assets as reported in its most recent financial statement required by law that is filed with the division;

(2) shall be made on asset acquisition, including a purchase, lease, exchange, merger, consolidation, succession, or other acquisition other than the

(A) construction or development of real property by or for the reporting insurer; or

(B) acquisition of material for construction or development of real property;

(3) shall be made on asset disposition including a sale, lease, exchange, merger, consolidation, mortgage, hypothecation, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or abandonment;

(4) must include information on the

(A) date of transaction;

(B) manner of acquisition or disposition;

(C) description of the assets involved;

(D) nature and amount of the consideration given or received;

(E) purpose of, or reason for, the transaction;

(F) manner by which the amount of consideration was determined;

(G) gain or loss recognized or realized as a result of the transaction; and

(H) names of persons from whom the assets were acquired or to whom the assets were disposed.

(e) A domestic insurer's report of nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision of a ceded reinsurance agreement

(1) shall be made under (a) of this section if the nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision is material; for purposes of this subsection, a material nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision is one that affects (A) for property and casualty business, including accident and health business when written as property and casualty business, more than 50 percent of an insurer's ceded written premium; or (B) for life, annuity, and accident and health business, more than 50 percent of the total reserve credit taken for business ceded, on an annualized basis as indicated in the insurer's most recently filed statutory statement; however, a filing is not required if the insurer's ceded written premium or the total reserve credit taken for business ceded represents, on an annual basis, less than 10 percent of direct written premiums and assumed written premiums or 10 percent of the statutory reserve requirement before a cession;

(2) shall be filed without regard to which party has initiated the nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision of ceded reinsurance whenever any of the following conditions exist:

(A) the entire cession has been cancelled, nonrenewed, or revised and ceded indemnity and loss adjustment expense reserves after a nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision represent less than 50 percent of the comparable reserves that would have been ceded had the nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision not occurred;

(B) an admitted or accredited reinsurer has been replaced on an existing cession by an unauthorized reinsurer; however, a report shall be filed only if the result of the revision affects more than 10 percent of the cession; or

(C) collateral requirements previously established for unauthorized reinsurers have been reduced; however, a report shall be filed only if the result of the revision affects more than 10 percent of the cession; and

(3) must include

(A) the effective date of the nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision;

(B) a description of the transaction with an identification of the initiator of the transaction;

(C) the purpose of, or reason for, the transaction; and

(D) if applicable, the identity of the replacement reinsurers.

(f) An insurer is required to report under (a) of this section on a nonconsolidated basis unless the insurer is part of a consolidated group of insurers that utilizes a pooling arrangement or 100 percent reinsurance agreement that affects the solvency and integrity of the insurer's reserves and the insurer ceded substantially all of its direct and assumed business to the pool. An insurer is presumed to have ceded substantially all of its direct and assumed business to a pool if the insurer has less than $1,000,000 total direct written premiums and assumed written premiums during a calendar year that is not subject to a pooling arrangement and the net income of the business not subject to the pooling arrangement represents less than five percent of the insurer's capital and surplus.
