(4) All material relationships and bases for affiliation between the subject and the disclaiming person and all affiliates of the disclaiming person;
(5) A statement explaining why the disclaiming person should not be considered to control the subject; and
(6) Such further information as is required by Form A-1.
B. A disclaimer of affiliation or request for termination of registration shall be deemed to have been granted unless the Superintendent, within 30 days after receiving the request, notifies the person filing Form A-1 otherwise.
C. Form A-1 may be filed by or on behalf of the disclaiming person, or may be filed by the subject or by an affiliate of the subject.
D. At least 30 days before any person divests a controlling interest in a domestic insurer, or in a person directly or indirectly controlling a domestic insurer, the divesting person shall report the proposed divestiture to the Superintendent on Form A-1, unless the divestiture transaction consists of the transfer of the divesting person's interest to one or more acquiring persons, all of whom have reported their respective acquisitions on Form A pursuant to Section 10. A partial divestiture is subject to the reporting requirements of this subsection if the divesting person will lose either presumptive or actual control as the result of the partial divestiture.
