(a) A brief description of all transactions during the preceding fiscal year with persons within its holding company system to which it was a party (other than any transactions otherwise reported to or approved by the superintendent under any provision of the Insurance Law), inclusive of arrangements for common management or cooperative or joint use of personnel, property or services. (Transactions not deemed material, transactions in series or numerous similar transactions may be reported in the aggregate, provided that they are reasonably described.) The issuance of contracts of insurance issued in the normal course of business, other than contracts of reinsurance, shall not be deemed transactions hereunder.

(b) Copies of the latest annual reports to shareholders of the ultimate corporate holding company and of all significant persons within the holding company system that issued such reports.

(c) A consolidated balance sheet of the ultimate holding company and each significant person within the holding company system, as of the end of the holding company's fiscal year, and related consolidated statements of income and surplus for the year then ended. Such financial statements shall be accompanied by an opinion of an independent certified public accountant to the effect that such financials present fairly the consolidated financial position of the ultimate holding company and such persons, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles or with requirements of insurance or other accounting principles prescribed or permitted under law. In lieu of fully consolidated statements, registrant may furnish separate certified financial statements with respect to any person or persons, and certified consolidated or combined statements with respect to any group of persons, within the holding company system. Upon written application of a significant person who is an individual, the superintendent may permit the significant person to submit a certified public accountant compilation rather than an opinion of an independent certified public accountant, if the superintendent finds, upon review of the application, that submitting an opinion of an independent certified public accountant would constitute a hardship upon the significant person. The written application shall explain how submitting an opinion of an independent certified public accountant would constitute a hardship upon the significant person.

(e) A copy of any proxy material used by the ultimate holding company during the preceding year.
