Published 11 May 2023

Member Circular No. 1/2023

At its meeting on 22 April 2023 the Association’s Board of Directors set the Supplementary Calls and Release Calls for open policy years.

The Association’s Board of Directors, and the Boards of its subsidiaries, have determined that the following procedures and factors shall be followed and taken into account when determining the Release Call percentages and the collection of Release Calls when an entry is terminated or ceases:

  • The risk that any previously published levels of estimated premiums may be exceeded, when assessed using the Association’s methodology for calculating the capital required, which is determined by taking into account premium risk, reserve risk, market risk, and other significant risk categories.

  • The wish to maintain a set structure for reducing the Release Call percentage for each policy year under normal circumstances.

At its meeting on 22 April 2023 the Association’s Board of Directors, made the following decisions in respect of Supplementary Calls and Release Calls for open policy years:
