Exceptions to reporting requirements; material acquisitions or dispositions defined; information to be disclosed; report to be on nonconsolidated basis; exceptions
(A) No acquisitions or dispositions of assets need be reported pursuant to Section 38-13-400 if the acquisitions or dispositions are not material. For purposes of this section and Sections 38-13-400 and 38-13-420, a material acquisition (or the aggregate of any series of related acquisitions during any thirty-day period) or disposition (or the aggregate of any series of related dispositions during any thirty-day period) is one that is nonrecurring and 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 annual statement filed with the insurance department of the insurer's state of domicile.
(B)
(1) Asset acquisitions subject to this section and Sections 38-13-400 and 38-13-420 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 such purpose.
(2) Asset dispositions subject to this section and Sections 38-13-400 and 38-13-420 include every sale, lease, exchange, merger, consolidation, mortgage, hypothecation, assignment (whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise), abandonment, destruction, or other disposition.
(C)
(1) The following information must be disclosed in any report of a material acquisition or disposition of assets:
(a) date of the 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 the persons from whom the assets were acquired or to whom they were disposed.
(2) 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 one hundred percent reinsurance agreement that affects the solvency and integrity of the insurer's reserves and such insurer ceded substantially all of its direct and assumed business to the pool. An insurer is considered to have ceded substantially all of its direct and assumed business to a pool if the insurer has less than one million dollars 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 five percent of the insurer's capital and surplus.
