About this statute

The Supervisory Authority may authorize certain insurance-related transactions. This article defines key terms used in the regulation, including significant holding, acquisition, amalgamation, demutualization, mutual insurer, private insurer, significant owner, controlling interest, resulting insurer, transferor insurer, and portfolio transfer. This article says the regulation applies to licensed insurers and reinsurers. Licensed insurers and reinsurers may not carry out certain ownership or restructuring transactions without prior approval, and general insurers are also barred from amalgamating or making acquisition/portfolio transfer arrangements with long-term insurers (and vice versa). Certain persons may not directly or indirectly own or acquire more than 25% of a private insurer’s shares, subject to listed exceptions.
