Catstyle reinsurance eliminates in consolidation. To establish the Catstyle, AIIG entered into a master preference shareholder agreement with Artex whereby AIIG purchased 1,000 non-voting redeemable preference shares, par value of $1.00, to become the sole shareholder of Catstyle. AIIG also contributed additional surplus in order to fully capitalize Catstyle. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Catstyle, a silo that is a VIE within Artex, as AIIG has the power to direct the activities that significantly affect the economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant of Catstyle. Thus, AIIG has consolidated the assets, liabilities and operations of Catstyle in its condensed consolidated financial statements with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. The following table presents, on a consolidated basis, the balance sheet classification and exposure of restricted cash and investments held in the segregated account, which are used to settle reinsurance obligations of the VIE as of the dates presented. Restricted cash and investments held in the segregated account are required to be held in a trust account solely for the benefit of the Company and can be used to settle activity under the reinsurance agreement. Any restricted cash or investments held in the segregated account not actively being used to settle activity under the reinsurance agreement can be paid to the Company by dividend based upon underwriting results of the segregated account or by expiration or termination of the reinsurance agreement. Catstyle cannot declare or pay dividends without necessary approvals from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the “Authority”).
