Which of the following transactions requires regulatory approval?

Regulatory approvals are required for events that change who owns or controls an insurer. A change in control involves a new owner or a shift in who actually governs the company, and regulators must review and approve such a transaction to ensure the financial stability and ongoing ability to meet policyholders’ obligations. This approval process helps protect policyholders and maintain market integrity, since ownership changes can affect risk, capital, and strategic direction. Routine policy renewals, advertising campaigns, and training programs don’t alter ownership or control, so they don’t trigger regulatory review. They are part of normal operations and marketing or compliance activities, not transactions that require a regulator’s sign-off.
