(2) the capital structure, general financial condition, and ownership and management of the insurer, the insurer's holding company, the insurer's subsidiaries, and, if the commissioner considers the information necessary, any of the insurer's other affiliates; and

(8) each transaction between the insurer and an affiliate of the insurer that is not in the ordinary course of business;
(9) each guarantee or undertaking, other than an insurance contract entered into in the ordinary course of the insurer's business, for the benefit of an affiliate of the insurer that results in a contingent exposure of the insurer's assets to liability;
(10) each dividend or distribution to the insurer's shareholders;
(11) each transaction between the insurer and an affiliate of the insurer not specified by this subsection that is subject to Section 823.103 or 823.104;
(12) the corporate governance and internal control responsibilities of the insurer's board of directors, including a statement that:

An insurer may not be required to submit financial statements for an affiliate that is privately owned by not more than five security holders, each of whom is an individual, unless the commissioner determines that the operations of the affiliate may materially affect the operations, management, or financial condition of an insurer in a holding company system. An affiliate may seek judicial review of a request for financial statements under this subsection.

(d) The information required by Subsection (c) applies only to agreements in force, relationships subsisting, and transactions outstanding.
(e) The commissioner shall adopt the format of the registration statement. In adopting or revising the format, the commissioner may require information on other matters concerning transactions between a registered insurer and an affiliate of the insurer.
