Chapter Ins 6

Ins 6.41(5)(b)1. 1. The sale is represented by an over-allotment in which the dealer is participating as a member of an underwriting group, or the dealer or a person acting on his or her behalf intends in good faith to offset such sale with a security to be acquired by or on behalf of the dealer as a participant in an underwriting, selling or soliciting-dealer group of which the dealer is a member at the time of the sale, whether or not the security to be so acquired is subject to a prior offering to existing security holders or some other class of persons; and

Ins 6.41(5)(b)2. 2. Other persons not within the purview of s. 611.31 (4) (c), Stats., are participating in the distribution of such block of securities on terms at least as favorable as those on which such dealer is participating and to an extent at least equal to the aggregate participation of all persons exempted from the provisions of s. 611.31 (4) (c), Stats., by this par. (b). However, the performance of the functions of manager of a distributing group and the receipt of a bona fide payment for performing such functions shall not preclude an exemption which would otherwise be available under this par. (b).

Ins 6.41(5)(c) (c) Exemption from s. 611.31 (4) (c), Stats., of sales of securities to be acquired.

Ins 6.41(5)(c)1. 1.

Ins 6.41(5)(c)1.a. a. The sale is made subject to the same conditions as those attaching to the right of acquisition, and

Ins 6.41(5)(c)1.b. b. Such person exercises reasonable diligence to deliver such security to the purchaser promptly after the right of acquisition matures, and

Ins 6.41(5)(c)1.c. c. Such person reports the sale on the appropriate form for reporting transactions by persons subject to s. 611.31 (4) (a), Stats.

Ins 6.41(5)(c)2. 2. This par. (c) shall not be construed as exempting transactions involving both a sale of a security “when issued” or “when distributed” and a sale of the security by virtue of which the seller expects to receive the “when-issued” or “when-distributed” security, if the 2 transactions combined result in a sale of more units than the aggregate of those owned by the seller plus those to be received by him or her pursuant to the right of acquisition.

Ins 6.41(6) (6) Regulation under s. 611.31 (4) (e), Stats.

Ins 6.41(6)(a) (a) Arbitrage transactions under s. 611.31 (4) (e), Stats. It shall be unlawful for any director or officer of an insurer to effect any foreign or domestic arbitrage transaction in any equity security of such insurer, unless he or she shall include such transaction in the statements required by s. 611.31 (4) (a), Stats., and shall account to such insurer for the profits arising from such transaction, as provided in s. 611.31 (4) (b), Stats. The provision of s. 611.31 (4) (c), Stats., shall not apply to such arbitrage transactions. The provisions of s. 611.31, Stats., shall not apply to any bona fide foreign or domestic arbitrage insofar as it is effected by any person other than such director or officer of the insurer.
