Contingent (or Profit) Commission (Reinsurance)
An allowance payable to the ceding insurer, in addition to the normal ceding commission, based on the net profit derived from a reinsurance treaty.
Contingent Capital
See: “Risk Transfer, ART Instruments, Contingent Surplus Notes (Contingent Capital).”
***
UK: A post-loss funding method based on an agreement between a (re)insurer and a bank (or other investor), whereby the latter will provide a loan or equity capital after the trigger event, e.g. windstorm, has occurred. The bank/investor charges a commitment fee for their pre-agreed standby capital. Contingent capital is less costly than conventional (re)insurance in fee terms if the trigger event never occurs. See CATASTROPHE EQUITY PUTS; CONTINGENT SURPLUS NOTE.
Continuous Contract
A reinsurance contract that does not terminate automatically but continues indefinitely unless one of the parties delivers notice of intent to terminate. Continuous contract should have an anniversary date to satisfy risk transfer requirements and notice of intent to terminate is usually required to be delivered a specified number of days (typically 90 days) prior to the anniversary date.
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.

Covered Agreements
Defined under the Dodd-Frank Act, a covered agreement is “a written bilateral agreement or multilateral agreement regarding prudential matters with respect to the business of insurance or reinsurance that—(A) is entered into between the United States and one or more foreign governments, authorities or regulatory entities; and (B) relates to the recognition of prudential matters with respect to the business of insurance or reinsurance that achieves a level of protection for insurance or reinsurance consumers that is substantially equivalent to the level of protection achieved under State insurance or reinsurance regulation.” The FIO is authorized to assist the Treasury Secretary in jointly negotiating covered agreements with the U.S. Trade Representative. To the extent that state law is determined to be inconsistent with a covered agreement, and subject to procedural requirements set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act, that law would be preempted.
