TO: ALL SURPLUS LINES BROKERS, RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT, LICENSED IN THE STATE OF ALASKA

RE: ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LIKES INSURERS IN THE STATE OF ALASKA

Pursuant to AS 21.34.050, the Division of Insurance has reviewed the financial statements of various foreign and alien insurers. I have, under authority granted in AS 21.34.050, issued the attached list of eligible surplus lines insurers. Additional companies are under review and, if necessary, an addendum will be issued.

Effective July 1, 1992, Alaska requires an unimpaired basic capital and additional surplus equal to that required in its domiciliary jurisdiction or $12,500,000 as of December 31, 1992, and $15,000,000 as of December 31, 1993, whichever is greater.

All surplus lines brokers are reminded that, pursuant to the surplus line law, the surplus lines brokers shall ascertain the financial condition of an insurer before placing insurance with them. The surplus lines brokers shall be held strictly accountable for the solvency and the operating standard of the companies used. Every surplus line insurer must have capital and surplus of at least $12,600,000 as of December 31, 1992 and a U.S. trust fund of not less than $2.5 million.

The furnishing of this eligible list does not place any liability on the Division of Insurance, State of Alaska. The Director of the Division of Insurance reserves the right to remove a listing, acting on his own initiative and to refuse to list any company regardless of its financial condition.

Please review AS 21.34.080 at your earliest convenience. The Division of Insurance shall expect all affidavits filed to be complete and truthful. Please TAKE NOTICE that filing a false affidavit constitutes a violation of AS 21.27.410 (refusal, suspension, revocation of license) as well as criminal violation pursuant to AS 11.56.201.

Bulletin B93-13 supersedes Bulletin 93-11.

Done this 2nd day of December, 1993 at Juneau, Alaska.
