7.2. Premium Risk Component

Table C Percentage factor—Premium Risk Component

(2) In this rule: net premium liability means premium liability less any expected reinsurance and nonreinsurance recoveries in respect of that premium liability as at the Solvency Reference Date.

7.3. AIFC-Incorporated Insurer may apply for different percentages

(1) The AFSA may, on application of an AIFC-Incorporated Insurer conducting General Insurance Business in Category 1, give written consent to the use of percentages other than those in table C if the AFSA is satisfied that:

• (a) adequate mortality and morbidity information exists in respect of that business; and
• (b) the information provides a reasonable basis for reliance on actuarial principles.

(2) The percentages that may be used must be those stated in the notice but may not be lower than:

• (a) 12% in the case of direct insurance and proportional reinsurance; and
