Insurers in Difficulty: Staying Compliant Under Solvency II

When U.K. insurers observe they cannot comply with requirements under Solvency II, there are detailed steps that one must take.

Feargal Ryan, European counsel in Skadden’s Financial Institutions Group, and host Rob Chaplin, head of the firm’s Financial Institutions Group in Europe, break down insurers’ obligations. They explain differences between the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) and Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) and examine the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA’s) requirements.

What he does: Feargal advises on a wide range of insurance-related transactions, as well as regulatory issues in the insurance sector.

Organization: Skadden

Words of wisdom: “The first and most critical step is to initiate a frank and open dialogue with the PRA. Once there is any observation of actual or potential non compliance with the SCR, the insurer should detail all material matters impacting upon the insurer's financial difficulty, as well as any matters that may, in the short, medium, and or long term, impact upon the financial condition of the insurer.”
