Title 18 Insurance

400 Domestic Insurers

1.1 This regulation is applicable to each domestic stock insurer which has any class of equity security held of record by one hundred or more persons; provided, however, that this regulation shall not apply to any insurer if ninety-five per cent or more of its equity securities are owned or controlled by a parent, or an affiliated insurer and the remaining securities are held of record by less than five hundred persons. A domestic stock insurer which files with the Securities and Exchange Commission forms of proxies, consents and authorizations complying with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, shall be exempt from the provisions of this regulation with respect to any class of securities subject to SEC jurisdiction.

2.1 No domestic stock insurer, or any director, officer or employee of such insurer subject to section one hereof, or any other person, shall solicit, or permit the use of his name to solicit, by mail or otherwise, any proxy, consent or authorization in respect of any class of equity security of such insurer held of record by one hundred or more persons in contravention of this regulation and Schedules A and B hereto annexed and hereby made a part of this regulation.

3.1 Unless proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of any class of equity security of a domestic insurer subject to section one hereof are solicited by or on behalf of the management of such insurer from the holders of record of such security prior to any annual or other meeting of such security holders, such insurer shall, in accordance with this regulation and such further regulations as the Commissioner may adopt, file with the Commissioner and transmit to all security holders of record information substantially equivalent to the information which would be required to be transmitted if a solicitation were made. Such insurer shall transmit a written information statement containing the information specified section 5.4 to every security holder who is entitled to vote in regard to any matter to be acted upon at the meeting and from whom a proxy is not solicited on behalf of the management of the insurer provided, that in the case of a class of securities in unregistered or bearer form such statement need be transmitted only to those security holders whose names and addresses are known to the insurer.

4.1 The definitions and instructions set out in Schedule SIS, as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, shall be applicable for purposes of this regulation.

4.2 The terms "solicit" and "solicitation" for purposes of this regulation shall include:

4.2.1 any request for a proxy, whether or not accompanied by or included in a form of proxy; or

4.2.2 any request to execute or not to execute, or to revoke, a proxy; or

4.2.3 the furnishing of a proxy or other communication to stockholders under circumstances reasonably calculated to result in the procurement, withholding or revocation of a proxy.

4.3 The terms "solicit" and "solicitation" shall not include:

4.3.1 any solicitation by a person in respect of stock of which he is the beneficial owner;

4.3.2 action by a broker or other person in respect to stock carried in his name or in the name of his nominee in forwarding to the beneficial owner of such stock soliciting material received from the company, or impartially instructing such beneficial owner to forward a proxy to the person, if any, to whom the beneficial owner desires to give a proxy, or impartially requesting instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to the authority to be conferred by the proxy and stating that a proxy will be given if the instructions are received by a certain date;

4.3.3 the furnishing of a form of proxy to a stockholder upon the unsolicited request of such stockholder, or the performance by any person of ministerial acts on behalf of a person soliciting a proxy.

5.1 No solicitation subject to this regulation shall be made unless each person solicited is concurrently furnished or has previously been furnished with a written proxy statement containing the information specified in Schedule A.

5.2 If the solicitation is made on behalf of the management of the insurer and relates to an annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, each proxy statement furnished pursuant to subsection one hereof shall be accompanied or preceded by an annual report (in preliminary or final form) to such stockholders containing such financial statements for the last fiscal year as are referred to in Schedule SIS under the heading "Financial Reporting to Stockholders." Subject to the foregoing requirements with respect to financial statements, the annual report to stockholders may be in any form deemed suitable by the management.

5.3 Two copies of each report sent to the stockholders pursuant to this section shall be mailed to the Commissioner, not later than the date on which such report is first sent or given to stockholders or the date on which preliminary copies of solicitation material are filed with the Commissioner, pursuant to subsection one of the section seven, whichever date is later.

5.4 If no solicitation is being made by management of the insurer with respect to any annual or other meeting, such insurer shall mail to every security holder of record at least twenty days prior to the meeting date, an information statement as required by section 3.0, containing the information called for by all of the Items of Schedule A, other than Items 1, 3 and 4 thereof, which would be applicable to any matter to be acted upon at the meeting if proxies were to be solicited in connection with the meeting. If such information statement relates to an annual meeting at which directors are to be elected, it shall be accompanied by an annual report to such security holders in the form provided in section 5.2 hereof.

6.1 The form of proxy

6.1.1 shall indicate in boldface type whether or not the proxy is solicited on behalf of the management,

6.1.2 shall provide a specifically designated blank space for dating the proxy and (c) shall identify clearly and impartially each matter or group of related matters intended to be acted upon, whether proposed by the management, or stockholders. No reference need be made to proposals as to which discretionary authority is conferred pursuant to subsection three hereof.

6.2

6.2.1 Means shall be provided in the proxy for the person solicited to specify by ballot a choice between approval or disapproval of each matter or group of related matters referred to therein, other than elections to office. A proxy may confer discretionary authority with respect to matters as to which a choice is not so specified if the form of proxy states in boldface type how it is intended to vote the shares or authorization represented by the proxy in each such case.

6.2.2 A form of proxy which provides both for elections to office and for action on other specified matters shall be prepared so as to clearly provide, by a box or otherwise, means by which the security holder may withhold authority to vote for elections to office. Any such form of proxy which is executed by the security holder in such manner as not to withhold authority to vote for elections to office shall be deemed to grant such authority, provided the form of proxy so states in bold type.

6.3 A proxy may confer discretionary authority with respect to other matters which may come before the meeting, provided the persons on whose behalf the solicitation is made are not aware a reasonable time prior to the time the solicitation is made that any other matters are to be presented for action at the meeting and provided further that a specific statement to that effect is made in the proxy statement or in the form of proxy. (A proxy may also confer discretionary authority with respect to any proposal omitted from the proxy statement and form of proxy pursuant to subsection three of section eight.)

6.4 No proxy shall confer authority

6.4.1 to vote for the election of any person to any office for which a bona fide nominee is not named in the proxy statement, or

6.4.2 to vote at any annual meeting other than the next annual meeting (or any adjournment thereof) to be held after the date on which the proxy statement and form of proxy are first sent or given to stockholders.

6.5 The proxy statement or form of proxy shall provide, subject to reasonable specified conditions, that the proxy will be voted and that where the person solicited specifies by means of ballot provided pursuant to subsection two hereof a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the vote will be in accordance with the specifications so made.

6.6 The information included in the proxy statement or information statement shall be clearly presented and the statements made shall be divided into groups according to subject matter, with appropriate headings. All printed proxy statements or information statements shall be clearly and legibly presented.

7.1 Two preliminary copies of the proxy statement and form of proxy and any other soliciting material to be furnished to stockholders concurrently therewith shall be filed with the Commissioner at least ten days prior to the date definitive copies of such material are first sent or given to stockholders, or such shorter period prior to that date as the Commissioner may authorize upon a showing of good cause therefor.

7.2 Two preliminary copies of any additional soliciting material relating to the same meeting or subject matter to be furnished to stockholders subsequent to the proxy statements shall be filed with the Commissioner at least two days (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays or holidays) prior to the date copies of this material are first sent or given to stockholders or a shorter period prior to such date as the Commissioner may authorize upon a showing of good cause therefor.

7.3 Two definitive copies of the proxy statement, form of proxy and all other soliciting material, in the form in which this material is furnished to stockholders, shall be filed with, or mailed for filing to, the Commissioner not later than the date such material is first sent or given to the stockholders.

7.4 There any proxy statement, form of proxy or other material filed pursuant to these rules is amended or revised, two of the copies shall be marked to clearly show such changes.

7.5 Copies of replies to inquiries from stockholders requesting further information and copies of communications which do no more than request that forms of proxy theretofore solicited be signed and returned need not be filed pursuant to this section.

7.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections one and two hereof and of subsection five of section eleven, copies of soliciting material in the form of speeches, press releases and radio or television scripts may, but need not be filed with the Commissioner prior to use or publication. Definitive copies, however, shall be filed with or mailed for filing to the Commissioner as required by subsection three hereof not later than the date such material is used or published. The provisions of sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof and subsection five of section eleven shall apply, however, to any reprints or reproductions of all or any part of such material.

8.1 No proxy statement, form of proxy, notice of meeting, information statement, or other communication, written or oral, subject to this regulation, shall contain any statement which at the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or which omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading or necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the same meeting or subject matter which has become false or misleading.
