Sec. 7. Before assuming risk under a reinsurance contract, a limited purpose subsidiary must do all of the following:

(1) Comply with IC 27-1-6.

(2) File with the commissioner an affidavit, signed by the limited purpose subsidiary's president, vice president, treasurer, or chief financial officer, including all of the following to the best of the individual's knowledge after reasonable inquiry:

(A) That the proposed organization and operation of the limited purpose subsidiary complies with this chapter.

(B) That the limited purpose subsidiary's investment policy reflects and considers the liquidity of assets and the reasonable preservation, administration, and management of the assets with respect to the risks associated with reinsurance contracts issued by the limited purpose subsidiary.

(C) That the reinsurance contract and any arrangement intended to secure the limited purpose subsidiary's obligations under the reinsurance contract (including an agreement to implement the arrangement) comply with this chapter.

(3) File with the commissioner the opinion of a qualified actuary that the methodology and assumptions (including significant stress tests of key assumptions) used to establish reserves held by the limited purpose subsidiary are sufficient to provide for the risk assumed by the limited purpose subsidiary.

(4) File with the commissioner the limited purpose subsidiary's plan of operation, including the following:

(A) A statement that the limited purpose subsidiary will, before an offer and sale of securities of or by the limited purpose subsidiary, file with the commissioner, in a form acceptable to the commissioner, a legal opinion that the offering and sale of securities:

(i) of the limited purpose subsidiary complies with all federal securities laws; and

(ii) by the limited purpose subsidiary complies with all Indiana securities laws.

For purposes of this clause, the issuance of stock by the limited purpose subsidiary to the organizing domestic life insurance company is not the offer and sale of securities requiring a legal opinion.

(C) A description of the source and form of the limited purpose subsidiary's capital and surplus.

(D) The investment policy of the limited purpose subsidiary.

(E) Pro forma balance sheets and income statements that illustrate at least one (1) adverse case scenario, as determined using criteria required by the commissioner, for the performance of the limited purpose subsidiary under all reinsurance contracts.

(F) Policies for payment of dividends and other distributions to the organizing domestic life insurance company.

(G) Copies of all contracts between the limited purpose subsidiary and affiliates.

(H) Other documentation or information required by the commissioner.

(5) Obtain from the commissioner a certificate of authority to engage in the business of reinsurance in Indiana.
