A. An insurer or the insurance group of which the insurer is a member shall, no later than June 1 of each calendar year, submit to the Insurance Commissioner a Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure (CGAD) that contains the information described in Section 4 of this act. Notwithstanding any request from the Commissioner made pursuant to subsection C of this section, if the insurer is a member of an insurance group, the insurer shall submit the report required by this section to a commissioner of the lead state for the insurance group, in accordance with the laws of the lead state, as determined by the procedures outlined in the most recent Financial Analysis Handbook adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). B. The CGAD shall include a signature of the insurer or chief executive officer or corporate secretary of the insurance group attesting to the best of his or her belief and knowledge that the insurer has implemented the corporate governance practices and that a copy of the disclosure has been provided to the insurer's board of directors or the appropriate committee thereof. C. An insurer not required to submit a CGAD under this section shall do so upon the Commissioner's request. D. For purposes of completing the CGAD, the insurer or insurance group may provide information regarding corporate governance at the ultimate controlling parent level, an intermediate holding company level and/or the individual legal entity level, depending upon how the insurer or insurance group has structured its system of corporate governance. The insurer or insurance group is encouraged to make the CGAD disclosures at the level at which the insurer's or insurance group's risk appetite is determined, or at which the earnings, capital, liquidity, operations and reputation of the insurer are overseen collectively and at which the supervision of those factors is coordinated and exercised, or the level at which legal liability for failure of general corporate governance duties would be placed. If the insurer or insurance group determines the level of reporting based on these criteria, it shall indicate which of the three criteria was used to determine the level of reporting and explain any subsequent changes in level of reporting. E. The review of the CGAD and any additional requests for information shall be made through the lead state as determined by the procedures within the most recent Financial Analysis Handbook referenced in subsection A of this section. F. Insurers providing information substantially similar to the information required by this act in other documents provided to the Commissioner, including proxy statements filed in conjunction with Form B requirements, or other state or federal filings provided to the Oklahoma Insurance Department shall not be required to duplicate that information in the CGAD but shall only be required to cross- reference the document in which the information is included.
