Statutory Information and Dividend Restrictions

10.     STATUTORY INFORMATION AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS



The statutory financial statements of ICC are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Illinois Department of Insurance, which has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) statutory accounting practices as the basis of its statutory accounting practices. ICC did not use any permitted statutory accounting practices that differ from NAIC prescribed statutory accounting practices. In converting from statutory to GAAP, typical adjustments include deferral of policy acquisition costs, the inclusion of statutory non-admitted assets, recording debt securities at fair value versus amortized cost, net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities are recorded in earnings as opposed to being a component of surplus, and the reclassification of surplus notes from equity to debt.



The NAIC has RBC requirements that require insurance companies to calculate and report information under a risk-based formula, which measures statutory capital and surplus needs based upon a regulatory definition of risk relative to the Company’s balance sheet and mix of products. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, ICC had RBC amounts in excess of the authorized control level RBC, as defined by the NAIC. ICC had an authorized control level RBC of $6,959,512 and $6,751,399 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, compared to actual statutory capital and surplus of $55,357,446 and $50,552,167, respectively, for these same periods.

No Illinois domiciled company may pay any extraordinary dividend or make any other extraordinary distribution to its security holders until: (a) 30 days after the Director has received notice of the declaration thereof and has not within such period disapproved the payment, or (b) the Director approves such payment within the 30-day period. For purposes of this subsection, an extraordinary dividend or distribution is any dividend or distribution of cash or other property whose fair market value, together with that of other dividends or distributions, made within the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the date on which the proposed dividend is scheduled for payment or distribution exceeds the greater of: (a) 10% of the Company’s surplus as regards policyholders as of the 31st day of December next preceding, or (b) the net income of the Company for the 12-month period ending the 31st day of December next preceding, but does not include pro rata distributions of any class of the Company’s own securities.



The Company did not pay any dividends to security holders in 2019 or 2018. It did, however, make cash dividend payments in the amount of $18,793 and $6,836 in 2019 and 2018, respectively, to Wisconsin policyholders in accordance with policy contractual obligations.
