1 DIVISION OF INSURANCE Frank H. Murkowski, Governor BULLETIN B TO: RE: ALL INSURANCE PRODUCERS AND SURPLUS LINES BROKERS, RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT, LICENSED IN THE STATE OF ALASKA, AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES 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 , I am issuing the attached list of eligible surplus lines insurers. Additional companies are under review. You may check the status of any company on our web site at 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 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 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 I expect all reports and affidavits filed under AS 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 (refusal to renew or suspension or revocation of a license), and may be a criminal violation under AS and 18 U.S.C Bulletin B supersedes Bulletins B and B Dated this 16th day of September, 2004 at Anchorage, Alaska.
