Chapter 9 Solvency

Section 52. The company pension fund must at all times have a basic capital sufficient in relation to its total business, which corresponds at least to the requirements in Sections 53-55.

Section 53. The basic capital may consist of the company pension fund's equity, which is free from any foreseeable liability and with the deduction of intangible assets, including:

1. Paid-in capital shares or effective guarantee capital as well as all accounts belonging to the members, which meet the following criteria: a) The articles of association must stipulate that payments from these accounts to members can only be made if the basic capital does not thereby fall below the required level, or if the entire company pension fund's other debt is settled after the company pension fund's dissolution. b) The articles of association must stipulate, with regard to the payments referred to in letter a, when these occur for reasons other than individual member termination, that the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority is notified thereof at least 1 month in advance, and that the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority may prohibit the payment within this period. c) The relevant provisions in the articles of association can only be changed after the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has declared that it has no objections to the change, cf. however the criteria referred to in letters a and b.
2. Legal and free reserves that do not correspond to liabilities.
3. The dividend or loss after deduction of dividend that must be paid.
4. The bonus reserves that are recorded on the balance sheet, insofar as they can be used to cover any losses and are not set aside for distribution to members and pension recipients.

Paragraph 2. The basic capital is reduced by the company pension fund's direct holding of its own shares and tax assets, except for the value of tax assets which it would be in an administration situation, cf. Section 87 and Section 35 of the Pension Returns Taxation Act.

Paragraph 3. The basic capital may also consist of:

1. Cumulative preference shares and subordinated deposit capital up to 50 pct. of the lesser of the amounts for the basic capital and the capital requirement, of which subordinated deposit capital with a fixed maturity or cumulative preference shares with a fixed maturity may at most constitute 25 pct., provided that in the event of the company pension fund's bankruptcy or liquidation there are binding agreements that subordinated deposit capital or preference shares are subordinated to all other claims and are satisfied first when all other outstanding debt has been paid.
2. Securities with indefinite maturity and other instruments, including other cumulative preference shares than those referred to in item 1, up to 50 pct. of the basic capital or the capital requirement, whichever amount is lower, for all the securities and subordinated deposit capital referred to in item 1, provided that they meet the following conditions: a) They must not be repayable at the holder's initiative or without the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's prior consent. b) Agreements in connection with the debt issuance must give the company pension fund the opportunity to defer payment of interest on the debt. c) The lender's claim against the company pension fund must be subordinated to all other non-subordinated debt. d) The documents governing the issuance of the securities must contain a provision that debt and unpaid interest can be used to cover losses, while the company pension fund must be able to continue its business. e) Only actually paid-in amounts can be taken into consideration.

Paragraph 4. The subordinated deposit capital referred to in paragraph 3, item 1, must further meet the following conditions:

1. Only actually paid-in funds can be taken into consideration.
2. For deposit capital with a fixed maturity, the original maturity must be at least 5 years. No later than 1 year before the repayment date, the company pension fund must submit to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority for approval a plan on how the basic capital will be maintained at or brought up to the required level upon the expiration of the maturity, unless the share that the subordinated deposit capital can constitute of the basic capital is gradually reduced during at least the last 5 years before the agreed repayment day. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority may grant permission for an earlier repayment of such funds, provided that the issuing company pension fund applies for this and its basic capital does not thereby fall below the required level.
3. For deposit capital for which no maturity has been set, a notice period of 5 years must apply, unless the deposit capital is no longer counted as an element of the basic capital, or unless the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's prior consent is specifically required for early repayment. In the latter case, the company pension fund must notify the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority at least 6 months before the date of the proposed repayment, indicating the basic capital and the capital requirement before and after this repayment. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's permission for the repayment of such funds presupposes that the company pension fund's basic capital does not thereby fall below the required level.
4. The loan agreement must not contain any clause that the debt, under specified circumstances other than the liquidation of the company pension fund, must be repaid before the agreed due dates.
5. The loan agreement can only be changed after the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has declared that it has no objections to the change.

Paragraph 5. With the permission of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, the basic capital may also consist of the following:

1. If Zillmerizing is not used, or if Zillmerizing is used which does not reach the acquisition costs that are included in the premium, the difference between the pension provision that is not Zillmerized or partially Zillmerized and a pension provision that is Zillmerized with a Zillmerizing rate equal to the acquisition costs included in the premium must be included.
2. The hidden net reserves that have arisen as a result of the valuation of assets, insofar as such hidden net reserves do not have the character of an exceptional case.
3. Half of the unpaid share capital or endowment fund, when the paid-in part constitutes 25 pct. of this capital or fund, at most with an amount corresponding to 50 pct. of the basic capital or of the capital requirement, whichever amount is lower.

Paragraph 6. The amount referred to in paragraph 5, item 1, must not exceed 3.5 pct. of the sum of the difference between the capital value of life insurance and pension benefits and pension provisions for all policies where Zillmerizing is possible. This difference is reduced by an amount corresponding to any unamortized acquisition costs that are recorded as an asset.

Paragraph 7. The basic capital is calculated based on the company pension fund's equity calculated according to the same principles that apply in the company pension fund's annual accounts.

Section 54. The company pension fund must at all times be in possession of a basic capital that corresponds at least to the capital requirement calculated as indicated in paragraphs 2-6 depending on the company pension fund's liabilities.

Paragraph 2. The capital requirement is equal to the sum of the following two results:

1. The figure corresponding to 4 pct. of the pension provisions regarding direct company pension fund business and takeovers of reinsurance without deduction for the provision of reinsurance is multiplied by the proportion which must be at least 85 pct., which existed in the last financial year between the total amount of the pension provisions with deduction for the provision of reinsurance and the gross amount of the pension provisions.
2. For the contracts where the risk sum is not negative, the figure which constitutes 0.3 pct. of the risk sum that the company pension fund has assumed responsibility for is multiplied by...

for, with the ratio, which must be at least 50 pct., that existed in the last financial year between the size of the risk sum for which the company pension fund remains liable after the provision of reinsurance and retrocession, and the size of the risk sum without deduction of the provision of reinsurance. For terminating death insurance with a term of up to 3 years, the percentage is 0.1 pct. For death insurance with a term of more than 3 years, but not more than 5 years, the percentage is 0.15 pct.

Subsection 3. For accessory insurance covered by insurance class no. iii, cf. Annex 1, the capital requirement is equal to the capital requirement set out in Section 55.

Subsection 4. For capitalization business covered by insurance class no. v, cf. Annex 1, the capital requirement is equal to 4 pct. of the pension provisions calculated as specified in subsection 2, no. 1.

Subsection 5. For tontine business covered by insurance class no. iv, cf. Annex 1, the capital requirement is equal to 1 pct. of this business's assets.

Subsection 6. For insurance linked to investment funds and covered by insurance class no. i and ii, cf. Annex 1, and for business covered by insurance class no. vi and vii, cf. Annex 1, the capital requirement is equal to the sum of the following:

1. To the extent that the company pension fund assumes investment risk, 4 pct. of the pension provisions calculated as specified in subsection 2, no. 1.
2. To the extent that the company pension fund does not assume investment risk, but where the amount covering operating costs is set for a period of more than 5 years, 1 pct. of the pension provisions calculated as specified in subsection 2, no. 1.
3. To the extent that the company pension fund does not assume investment risk and the amount covering operating costs is not set for a period of more than 5 years, an amount corresponding to 25 pct. of the administrative net costs for the last financial year in connection with such insurance and operations.
4. To the extent that the company pension fund assumes death risk, 0.3 pct. of the risk sum calculated as specified in subsection 2, no. 2.

Section 55. For the accessory insurance mentioned in Section 54, subsection 3, the capital requirement is determined on the basis of either the annual premium or contribution amount or the average of claims in the last 3 financial years.

Subsection 2. The size of the capital requirement is equal to the higher of the two results specified in subsections 3 and 4.

Subsection 3. The premiums or contributions used must be the largest of either the gross value of the written premiums or contributions as calculated below or the gross value of the earned premiums or contributions. The premiums or contributions including accessory additions to premiums or contributions that enter into direct insurance business during the last financial year are added together. To this is added the amount for premiums received for all reinsurance during the last financial year. From this is deducted the total amount of premiums or contributions cancelled during the last financial year as well as the total amount of taxes and duties on the premiums and contributions that enter into the total income. The resulting amount is divided into two, where the first part goes up to 50 million euros and the second part covers the remaining amount. Fractions are calculated at 18 pct. and 16 pct. of these parts, respectively, which are added together. The sum thus calculated is multiplied by the ratio that for the sum of the last 3 financial years exists between the size of the insurance benefits that the company pension fund is liable for after deduction of recoverable amounts in connection with reinsurance, and the gross amount of insurance benefits. This ratio must not be less than 50 pct.

Subsection 4. Calculation of the basis for the requirement is the amounts paid out in direct insurance, without deduction of claims owed to reinsurers and retrocessionaires, for claims during the periods mentioned in subsection 1 added together. To this is added the amount for claims paid out during the same periods for liabilities taken over by reinsurance or retrocession, and the amount for provisions for claims not yet settled, determined at the end of the last financial year for both direct business and liabilities taken over by reinsurance. From this is deducted the recovery amounts received during the periods mentioned in subsection 1. From the remaining amount is deducted the amount for provisions for claims not yet settled, determined at the beginning of the second financial year preceding the last completed financial year, for both direct business and liabilities taken over by reinsurance. One third of the resulting amount is divided into two, of which the first part goes up to 35 million euros and the second part covers the remaining amount. Fractions are calculated at 26 pct. of the first part and 23 pct. of the second part, which are added together. The sum thus calculated is multiplied by the ratio that for the sum of the last 3 financial years exists between the size of the insurance benefits that the company pension fund is liable for after deduction of recoverable amounts in connection with reinsurance, and the gross amount of insurance benefits. This ratio must not be less than 50 pct.

Subsection 5. If the capital requirement calculated in subsections 2-4 is lower than the capital requirement for the previous years, the capital requirement must be at least equal to the capital requirement for the previous years multiplied by the ratio between the pension provisions for outstanding compensation costs at the end of the most recent financial year and the pension provisions for outstanding compensation costs at the beginning of the last financial year. As part of these calculations, the pension provisions are calculated as a net amount of reinsurance, but the ratio must not be higher than 1.

Section 56. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority may set detailed rules for the publication of the capital requirement in accordance with Section 54.

Chapter 10 Investment

Section 57. A company pension fund must invest its assets in accordance with the prudent person principle, including according to the following rules:

1. The assets must be invested so that the long-term interests of the membership as a whole are best served. Where there is a risk of conflict of interest, the company pension fund must ensure that investments are made exclusively in the interest of the membership.
2. The company pension fund may take into account the long-term impact of investment decisions on environmental, social, and governance issues.
3. The assets must be invested in such a way that security, quality, liquidity, and profitability are ensured in the total investment portfolio.
4. The assets must be invested predominantly on regulated markets. Investments in assets not listed for trading on a regulated capital market must in any case be kept at a prudent level.
5. Investments in derivative instruments are possible to the extent that such instruments contribute to reducing investment risks or promoting efficient portfolio management. The company pension fund must furthermore avoid excessive risk exposure to a single counterparty and to other derivative transactions.
6. The assets must be diversified in such a way as to avoid disproportionate dependence on a specific asset or a specific issuer or group of companies and an excessive accumulation of risk in the total portfolio. Investments in assets issued by the same issuer or by issuers belonging to the same group must not expose the company pension fund to an excessive risk concentration.
7. No more than 5 pct. of the total portfolio may be invested in the pension-insuring company, and when the pension-insuring company belongs to a group, no more than 10 pct. of the portfolio may be invested in companies belonging to the same group as the pension-insuring company. If there are a number of pension-insuring companies in the same group that have insured pensions through a company pension fund, investments in these pension-insuring companies must be made with due regard to the need for adequate diversification.

Subsection 2. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority may grant exemptions from subsection 1, no. 6 and 7, for investments in government bonds.

Subsection 3. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority may set detailed rules regarding the matters mentioned in subsection 1.

3. How the method and time horizon for evaluating the fund manager's performance and remuneration for the fund manager's services are consistent with the profile and duration of the company pension fund's pension liabilities, in particular long-term liabilities, and take into account long-term results.

5. The duration of the arrangement with the fund manager.

Subsection 3. The company pension fund must give a clear and well-reasoned explanation if the arrangement mentioned in subsection 2 does not include one or more of the aspects mentioned in subsection 2, no. 1-5.
