DIVISION OF INSURANCE Frank H. Murkowski, Governor 550 W. 7th Avenue, Suite 1560, Anchorage, Alaska 99501-3567 Telephone: (907) 269-7900 Fax: (907) 269-7910 Text Telephone: (907) 465-5437 E-mail: insurance@commerce.state.ak.us Website: http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/insurance/ BULLETIN B 05-05 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 IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS IS THE LAST LIST OF ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURERS THAT WILL BE MAILED TO YOU. This bulletin and subsequent bulletins publishing the eligible surplus lines insurers in this state will be available on the division web site at www.commerce.state.ak.us/insurance. You may also check the status of any company at any time at our web site by clicking the Insurance Company Query link, which is updated daily. 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. If necessary, addenda will be published on our web site. 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 an alien mutual protection and indemnity association, must have a U.S. trust fund of not less than $2,500,000 or as determined in AS 21.34.040. Surplus lines brokers are reminded that, pursuant to the surplus lines law, the 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 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 05-05 supersedes Bulletins B 05-02. Dated this 10th day of August, 2005 at Anchorage, Alaska. Linda S.
