Surplus – Column 2 reflects minimum surplus required of a stock insurer that has actively transacted insurance as an authorized insurer in its state or country of domicile for more than five years, or is a wholly owned subsidiary of a licensed insurer, or is a continuing corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation of insurers at least one of which has been licensed in its home state for at least five years. If the company has been licensed less than five years, is not a wholly owned subsidiary of a licensed insurer or is not a continuing corporation, as defined above, increase surplus required above by 50%. (Example: Stock property insurer, three years old – Capital $300,000; Surplus $450,000)
