Acquisitions and dispositions of assets.1.Materiality.Acquisitions or dispositions of assets need not be reported undersection 26.1-10.1-01 if the acquisitions or dispositions are not material.Forpurposes 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

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 reinsuranceagreements.1.Materiality and scope.a.Nonrenewals, cancellations, or revisions of ceded reinsurance agreements or

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;

health business, either of the following events constitutes a material

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
