Chapter Ins 41 - Domestic insurers required to disclose material transactions
Section Ins 41.05 - Acquisitions and dispositions of assets
Current through August 26, 2024
(1) An acquisition or disposition of assets is not required to be reported under s. Ins 41.01 if the acquisition or disposition is not material. For purposes of this chapter a material acquisition, or the aggregate of any series of related acquisitions during any 30-day period, or disposition, or the aggregate of any series of related dispositions during any 30-day period, is one that is nonrecurring and not in the ordinary course of business and involves more than 5% of the reporting insurer's total admitted assets as reported in its most recent statutory statement filed with the insurance department of the insurer's state of domicile.
(2) Asset acquisitions subject to this chapter include every purchase, lease, exchange, merger, consolidation, succession, or other acquisition other than the construction or development of real property by or for the reporting insurer or the acquisition of materials for this purpose.
(3) Asset dispositions subject to this chapter include every sale, lease, exchange, merger, consolidation, mortgage, hypothecation, assignment, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, abandonment, destruction, or other disposition.
(4) The following information is required to be disclosed in any report of a material acquisition or disposition of assets under this chapter:
(5) Insurers are required to report material acquisitions and dispositions under this chapter on a nonconsolidated basis unless the insurer is part of a consolidated group of insurers which utilizes a pooling arrangement or 100% 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 deemed 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 plus assumed written premiums during a calendar year that are not subject to a pooling arrangement and the net income of the business not subject to the pooling arrangement represents less than 5% of the insurer's capital and surplus.
