Eligible Surplus Lines Insurers in the State of Alaska

BULLETIN B 03-06 TO: ALL INSURANCE PRODUCERS AND SURPLUS LINES BROKERS, RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT, LICENSED IN THE STATE OF ALASKA, AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES RE: ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURERS IN THE STATE OF ALASKA The Division of Insurance has reviewed the financial statements of various foreign and alien insurers. Under authority of AS 21.34.050, I am issuing the attached list of eligible surplus lines insurers. Additional companies are under review, and addenda will be issued as necessary. Additional approvals and removals also will be published on the division’s web site from time to time. You may check the status of any company to see if it is on the approved list at www.dced.state.ak.us/insurance by clicking the Insurance Company Query link. Alaska requires that a surplus lines company have unimpaired basic capital and additional surplus equal to that required in its domiciliary jurisdiction or $15,000,000, whichever is greater. An alien insurer, other than alien mutual protection and indemnity association, must have a U.S. trust fund of not less than $2,500,000 or as otherwise determined in AS 21.34.040. Surplus lines brokers are reminded that, pursuant to the surplus lines law, a surplus lines broker must ascertain the financial condition of an insurer before placing insurance with the insurer. Publishing this eligible list does not place any liability on the State of Alaska, Division of Insurance. I reserve the right to remove a listing or to refuse to list any company regardless of its financial condition. Please review AS 21.34.080. I expect all reports and affidavits filed under AS 21.34.080 to be complete and truthful. Filing a false document with the division under this provision constitutes a violation of the insurance code, provides a basis for administrative action under AS 21.27.410 (refusal to renew or suspension or revocation of a license), and may be a criminal violation under AS 11.56.210 and 18 U.S.C 1033. Bulletin B 03-06 supersedes Bulletins B 02-21, 02-23, and 02-24. Dated this 25th day of July 2003 at Anchorage, Alaska. Linda S.
