Nueva regulación sobre la conducta y trayectoria de aportantes y/o accionistas de aseguradoras y reaseguradoras
 
El 6 de agosto de 2021 se publicó en el Boletín Oficial la Resolución N° 595/2021 de la Superintendencia de Seguros de la Nación (la “Resolución” y la “SSN”, respectivamente), mediante la cual se adoptan nuevas medidas a los efectos de conocer la conducta y trayectoria de aportantes y/o accionistas de aseguradoras y reaseguradoras, así como el origen y licitud de los fondos que ingresan al sistema de la SSN.
 
Dichas medidas se adoptan a raíz de la necesidad de contar con información previa que permita identificar a los accionistas y eventuales aportantes, con el objeto de aprobar o rechazar operatorias de transferencias de acciones y aportes de capital a cuenta de futura suscripción de acciones.
 
En particular, la Resolución dispone que los aportes no podrán realizarse en dinero efectivo y que deberán realizarse exclusivamente por medio de transferencias bancarias a cuentas de la entidad.
 
Asimismo, establece que se deberá requerir autorización previa a todo cambio accionario, aporte a cuenta de suscripción de acciones y a integraciones provenientes de suscripción de acciones resueltas en Asambleas Generales de Accionistas que decidan un aumento de capital, que se opere en aseguradoras y reaseguradoras locales.
 
Por último, se advierte que la SSN no permitirá que las estructuras societarias de personas jurídicas, sean integradas por controlantes de entidades aseguradoras o reaseguradoras locales que se encuentren en países de alto riesgo según las definiciones brindadas por el Grupo de Acción Financiera Internacional (GAFI).

New regulation on the conduct and background of contributors and/or shareholders of insurance and reinsurance companies
 
On August 6, 2021, Resolution No. 595/2021 of the National Superintendence of Insurance (the “Resolution” and the “SSN”, respectively) was published in the Official Gazette, by means of which new measures are adopted in order to know the conduct and background of contributors and/or shareholders of insurance and reinsurance companies, and  to acknowledge the origin and legality of the funds that enter the SSN´s system.
 
The SSN adopted these  measures to obtain prior information to enable the SSN to identify shareholders and potential contributors, in order to approve or reject share transfers and capital contributions on account of future subscription of shares.
 
The Resolution no longer allows the contributions to be made in cash. They must be made solely  by means of bank transfers to the Bank's accounts.
 
The Resolution also sets forth that prior authorization must be required for the transfer of shares, capital contributions on account of future subscription of shares and contributions resulting from share subscriptions resolved in Shareholder´s Meetings which decide a capital increase, operated in insurance and reinsurance companies. 
 
Finally, the SSN will not allow corporate structures of legal entities to be integrated by controlling entities of local insurance or reinsurance companies located in high-risk countries, according to the definitions provided by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) (Grupo de Acción Financiera Internacional).
