Section 1186 Of Article 3.5. Disclosure Of Material Transactions From California Insurance Code >> Division 1. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 3.5.
1186
. (a) No acquisitions or dispositions of assets shall be
reported pursuant to Section 1185 if the acquisitions or dispositions
are not material. For purposes of this article, 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 percent 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.
(b) Asset acquisitions subject to this article 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 that purpose. Asset dispositions also include every
sale, lease, exchange, merger, consolidation, mortgage,
hypothecation, assignment (whether for the benefit of creditors or
otherwise), abandonment, destruction, or other disposition.
(c) The following information is required to be disclosed in any
report of a material acquisition or disposition of assets:
(1) Date of the transaction.
(2) Manner of acquisition or disposition.
(3) Description of the assets involved.
(4) Nature and amount of the consideration given or received.
(5) Purpose of, or reason for, the transaction.
(6) Manner by which the amount of consideration was determined.
(7) Gain or loss recognized or realized as a result of the
transaction.
(8) Name of the person from whom the assets were acquired or to
whom they were disposed.
(d) Insurers shall report material acquisitions and dispositions
on a nonconsolidated basis unless the insurer is part of a
consolidated group of insurers which utilizes a pooling arrangement
or 100 percent reinsurance agreement that affects the solvency and
integrity of the insurer's reserves and that 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 one million
dollars ($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 percent of the insurer's capital
and surplus.
