agreements unless the acquisitions and dispositions of assets or material
nonrenewals, cancellations, or revisions of ceded reinsurance agreements or material

4. All reports obtained by or disclosed to the commissioner under this chapter must be
given confidential treatment and are not subject to subpoena and must not be made
public by the commissioner, the national association of insurance commissioners, or
any other person, except to insurance departments of other states, without the prior
written consent of the insurer to which it pertains unless the commissioner, after giving
the insurer who would be affected notice and an opportunity to be heard, determines
that the interest of policyholders, shareholders, or the public will be served by
publication, in which event the commissioner may publish all or any part in the manner
the commissioner deems appropriate.
26.1-10.1-02. Acquisitions and dispositions of assets.
1. Materiality. Acquisitions or dispositions of assets need not be reported under section
26.1-10.1-01 if the acquisitions or dispositions are not material. For purposes of this
chapter, 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 statutory statement filed
with the insurance department of the insurer's state of domicile.
2. Scope.
a. 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.
b. 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.
3. Information to be reported.
a. 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;

b.
Names of the persons from whom the assets were acquired or to whom they
were disposed.
Insurers are required to report material acquisitions and dispositions on a
nonconsolidated basis unless the insurer is part of a consolidated group of
insurers that utilizes a pooling arrangement or one hundred 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 deemed 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.
26.1-10.1-03. Nonrenewals, cancellations, or revisions of ceded reinsurance
agreements.
1. Materiality and scope.
a. Nonrenewals, cancellations, or revisions of ceded reinsurance agreements or
new ceded reinsurance agreements need not be reported under section
26.1-10.1-01 if the nonrenewals, cancellations, or revisions of ceded reinsurance
agreements or new ceded reinsurance agreements are not material. For
purposes of this chapter, a material nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision of a
ceded reinsurance agreement or a material new ceded reinsurance agreement is
one that affects:
(1) As respects property and casualty business, including accident and health
business written by a property and casualty insurer:
(a) More than fifty percent of the insurer's total ceded written premium; or
(b) More than fifty percent of the insurer's total ceded indemnity and loss
adjustment reserves.
(2) As respects life, annuity, and accident and health business, more than fifty
percent of the total reserve credit taken for business ceded, on an
annualized basis, as indicated in the insurer's most recent annual statement.
(3) As respects either property and casualty or life, annuity, and accident and
health business, either of the following events constitutes a material revision
that must be reported:
(a) An authorized reinsurer representing more than ten percent of a total
cession is replaced by one or more unauthorized reinsurers; or
(b) Previously established collateral requirements have been reduced or
waived as respects one or more unauthorized reinsurers representing
collectively more than ten percent of a total cession.
b. However, filing is not required if:
(1) As respects property and casualty business, including accident and health
business written by a property and casualty insurer, the insurer's total ceded
written premium represents, on an annualized basis, less than ten percent
of its total written premium for direct and assumed business; or
(2) As respects life, annuity, and accident and health business, the total reserve
credit taken for business ceded represents, on an annualized basis, less
than ten percent of the statutory reserve requirement prior to any cession.
2. Information to be reported.
a. The following information is required to be disclosed in any report of a material
nonrenewal, cancellation, or revision of ceded reinsurance agreements or
material new ceded reinsurance agreements:
(1) Effective date of the nonrenewal, cancellation, revision, or new agreement;
(2) The description of the transaction with an identification of the initiator of the
transaction;
(3) Purpose of, or reason for, the transaction; and
Page No. 2
b.
(4) If applicable, the identity of the replacement reinsurers.
Insurers are required to report all material nonrenewals, cancellations, or
revisions of ceded reinsurance agreements or material new ceded reinsurance
agreements on a nonconsolidated basis unless the insurer is part of a
consolidated group of insurers that utilizes a pooling arrangement or one hundred
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 deemed 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
which 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.
