Contributing Excess

REINSURANCE: A form of excess of loss reinsurance where, in addition to its retention, the ceding company has a share of losses in excess of the retention. This form of reinsurance may also apply to subject polices written in excess of underlying insurance or self insured retentions where the reinsurance applies to a share of losses within the policies, with the ceding company or other reinsurers contributing the remaining share. When more than one reinsurer shares a line of insurance on a risk in excess of a specified retention, each reinsurer contributes towards any excess loss in proportion to its original participation in such risk.
