Formation of Special Purpose Captive Reinsurance Company
– Choice of domicile (South Carolina, Vermont, offshore)
Domiciliary Approvals
– Organization and licensure of captive
– Affiliate reinsurance arrangement
– Issuance of surplus notes
– Execution and delivery of related transaction documents
– Ongoing approval of payments on surplus notes
Reinsurance Arrangement
– Terms of reinsurance agreement between ceding insurer and captive must be approved byceding insurer's domiciliary state
– Reinsurance trust must be established and must comply with ceding insurer's domici liaryrequirements
– Investment guidelines must be established to manage funds inside and outside Reinsurancetrust
– Letter of Credit must comply with ceding insurer’s domiciliary requirements, although arecent trend in Non-recourse letter of credit transactions has been to uti lize “conditional”letters of credit, which do not necessari ly comply with such requirements

Limited Purpose Subsidiary
Limited Purpose Subsidiary Laws adopted in Iowa (12/22/10), Georgia(7/1/11), Indiana (4/6/11) and Texas (6/17/11). All are very similar andbased on the original Iowa model
An LPS is similar to a captive insurance company in most ways, and isorganized via an application, which includes, among other items, aplan of operation, pro forma financial statements and a model of theproposed book of business to be reinsured, the same as would berequired to form a special purpose financial captive in Vermont orSouth Carolina
An LPS must be wholly-owned by the organizing life insurer
An LPS is required to maintain a minimum amount of capital ($2.5million in Iowa, plus any additional amount of capital as prescribed bythe Commissioner)
Dewey & LeBoeuf | 13
Limited Purpose Subsidiary (cont’d)
An LPS may:
i. Reinsure life risks of a parent or affiliate (except in Georgia, where itmay reinsurer only the risks of the direct parent)
ii. Issue debt securities (like surplus notes) and access financial marketsto support its capital
iii. Count as admitted assets on its statutory financial statementsproceeds from a securitization, letters of credit, parental guaranties andother assets approved by the state insurance department
iv. Retrocede its risks to third-party reinsurers if permitted by theCommissioner
v. Pay dividends to its parent so long as its prescribed minimum capitaland surplus amounts are not breached

Dewey & LeBoeuf | 14
Limited Purpose Subsidiary (cont’d)
The statutory right to count letters of credit and parental guaranties ascapital is a major development in the ability to finance Triple X reserves
The laws expressly provide that a debt security issued by an LPS willnot be considered an insurance product and that investors holding suchsecurities will not be deemed to be engaging in the business ofinsurance, which clarifies a long-running concern in the insurance-linked securities market
