Administration 

[Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2024– 

04] 

Exemption Application No. L–11954; 

Exemption From Certain Prohibited 

Transaction Restrictions Involving the 

Fedeli Group, Inc. Employee Benefits 

Plan Located in Cleveland, OH 

AGENCY: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of exemption. 

SUMMARY: This document contains a 

notice of exemption from certain 

prohibited transaction restrictions of the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA) issued by the 

Department of Labor (the Department) to 

the Fedeli Group Employee Benefits 

Plan. 

DATES: Exemption date: This exemption 

will be in effect on November 26, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. 

Blessed Chuksorji-Keefe of the 

Department at (202) 693–8567. (This is 

not a toll-free number.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 6, 2023, the Department 

published a notice of proposed 

exemption in the Federal Register at 88 

FR 76253. The proposed exemption 

involved the reinsurance of risks and 

the receipt of premiums by Risk 

Specialists Insurance Company, Inc. 

(Risk Specialists) in connection with 

insurance contracts sold by THP 

Insurance Company, Inc. (THP) or 

THP’s successor to provide medical and 

hospital coverage to participants in the 

Fedeli Group Inc. Employee Benefits 

Plan (the Benefit Plan or the Applicant). 

THP, is unrelated to the Fedeli Group, 

Inc. and any entities related to Fedeli. 

(collectively, Fedeli Group). The 

Applicant requested an individual 

exemption pursuant to ERISA section 

408(a) in accordance with the 

Department’s exemption procedures set 

forth in 29 CFR part 2570, subpart B.1

Based on the record, the Department 

has determined to grant the proposed 

exemption. This exemption provides 

only the relief specified herein. It 

provides no relief from violations of any 

law other than the prohibited 

transaction provisions of ERISA, as 

expressly stated herein. 

The Department makes the requisite 

findings under ERISA Section 408(a) 

based on the Applicant’s adherence to 

all the conditions of the exemption. 

Accordingly, affected parties should be 

aware that the conditions incorporated 

in this exemption, considered 

individually and as a whole, are 

necessary for the Department to grant 

the relief requested by the Applicant. 

Absent these or similar conditions, the 

Department would not have granted this 

exemption. 

Background 

1. As discussed in greater detail below 

and in the notice of proposed 

exemption, Fedeli Group seeks to use its 

captive insurance company, Risk 

Specialists, to reinsure participants’ 

benefit claims under the Benefit Plan. 

Parties to the Transaction 

2. Fedeli Group: Fedeli Group is a 

corporation based in Cleveland, Ohio 

that provides insurance products and 

risk management services. The Fedeli 

Group is 51 percent owned by The 

Umberto P. Fedeli Restated Revocable 

Trust (dated July 16, 2016) 19 percent 

owned by the Umberto P. Fedeli 2012 

Discretionary Trust (dated November 

28, 2012) and 20% owned by the 

Umberto P. Fedeli 2009 Discretionary 

Trust (dated December 23, 2009). The 

Fedeli Group sponsors and administers 

the Benefit Plan. 

3. Risk Specialists: Risk Specialists is 

a property and casualty captive 

insurance company that is licensed and 

operates under applicable Tennessee 

law. Risk Specialists is 100 percent 

owned by Risk Specialists Captive 

Holdings, LLC, a limited liability 

company formed in Ohio on the same 

date as Risk Specialists. Risk Specialists 

Captive Holdings, LLC is 51 percent 

owned by the Fedeli Revocable Trust, 

29% owned by the Fedeli 2012 Trust, 

and 20 percent owned by the Fedeli 

2009 Trust. Risk Specialists serves as 

the reinsurer with respect to 13 different 

lines of insurance coverages provided to 

Fedeli Group and unrelated third 

parties. 

4. THP. THP Insurance Company, Inc. 

is a domestic stock insurance company 

domiciled in West Virginia and licensed 

in both Ohio and West Virginia. THP is 

unrelated to all Fedeli Group-related 

entities and is currently rated ‘‘A+’’ by 

A.M. Best Company. 

5. The Benefit Plan. The Benefit Plan 

is a self-funded employee welfare 

benefit plan covering medical and 

hospital expenses for eligible Fedeli 

Group employees that is sponsored and 

administered by the Fedeli Group. 

The Transaction 

6. Fedeli Group plans to use its 

captive insurance company, Risk 

Specialists, to reinsure the Benefit 

Plan’s claims. The Plan will enter into 

a Master Group Policy with THP, 

pursuant to which THP will provide 

group health insurance coverage to 

eligible participants under the Benefit 

Plan. THP will enter into a reinsurance 

agreement (the Reinsurance Agreement) 

with Risk Specialists. Under this 

arrangement, Risk Specialists will be 

responsible for the Benefit Plan’s 

insurance claims under the Master 

Group Policy with THP, and Risk 

Specialists will indirectly receive the 

Benefit Plan’s premium payments to 

THP. The Reinsurance Agreement 

between THP and Risk Specialists will 

be ‘‘indemnity only,’’ which means that 

THP will be responsible for Benefit Plan 

claims under the Master Group Policy to 

the extent Risk Specialists does not 

satisfy those claims under the 

Reinsurance Agreement. 

7. As described in the notice of 

proposed exemption, the Applicant 

represents that the only benefits Fedeli 

Group expects to receive from the 

proposed Captive Approach relative to 

the Plan’s current self-funding 

arrangement are the incidental benefits 

that would result from more 

predictability and better control over its 

benefit funding obligations. The 

proposed exemption describes that the 

Captive Approach will result in reduced 

overall plan costs because benefit 

expenses will be paid based on actual 

experience, as opposed to a third-party 

insurance carrier (the Third-Party 

Approach) requiring a fixed payment at 

a premium charged by an insurance 

carrier where the premium amount does 

not change regardless of the amount of 

claims that are incurred. 

ERISA Analysis 

8. The reinsurance arrangement 

would violate certain prohibited 

transaction provisions of ERISA for the 

following reasons: 

• Fedeli Group is a party in interest 

with respect to the Benefit Plan 

pursuant to ERISA section 3(14)(C), 

because it is an employer whose 

employees are covered by the Benefit 

Plan; 

• The Trusts are parties in interest 

with respect to the Benefit Plan under 

ERISA section 3(14)(E) because they 

collectively own 100% of Fedeli Group, 

the Benefit Plan sponsor. 

• Risk Specialists, the captive 

reinsurer, is a party in interest with 

respect to the Benefit Plan under ERISA 

section 3(14)(G) because it is 100% 

owned by the Trusts. 

9. ERISA section 406(a) prohibits a 

wide range of transactions between 

plans and parties in interest with 

respect to those plans. As relevant here, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
93354 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2024 / Notices 

2The Department notes that it did not make any 

changes to the operative text of the proposed 

exemption in this final grant notice except for 

minor editorial revisions. 

ERISA section 406(a)(l)(D) prohibits a 

plan fiduciary from engaging in a 

transaction if the fiduciary knows or 

should know the transaction constitutes 

a direct or indirect transfer of any plan 

assets for the use or benefit of a party 

in interest. The reinsurance arrangement 

would result in an indirect transfer of 

Benefit Plan premium payments to Risk 

Specialists, which is a party in interest 

with respect to the Benefit Plan. 

10. ERISA section 406(b)(1) of ERISA 

prohibits a fiduciary from dealing with 

plan assets for the fiduciary’s own 

interest or own account. The fiduciaries 

of the Benefit Plan would violate ERISA 

section 406(b)(1) by causing the Benefit 

Plan to pay premiums to THP, with the 

knowledge that the premiums will 

ultimately be directed to Risk 

Specialists, the captive reinsurer. 

Merits of the Transaction 

11. As described in further detail in 

the notice of proposed exemption, a 

qualified, independent fiduciary has 

concluded that the reinsurance 

arrangement will reduce each Benefit 

Plan participant’s share of the Benefit 

Plan premium paid to THP by at least 

$2,023.20 per participant per year for 

the duration of the exemption relative to 

the contribution the participant would 

otherwise have made under a 

noncaptive arrangement with a 

competitive third party insurer 

receiving no more than reasonable 

compensation within the meaning of 

ERISA section 408(b)(2). Historically, 

Benefit Plan participants contributed 

approximately 25% towards the cost of 

the Benefit Plan. Under this exemption, 

all the savings from the reinsurance 

arrangement will be used to reduce 

Benefit Plan participants’ share of the 

Benefit Plan’s premiums, and Benefit 

Plan participants will contribute no 

more than 17.38% of the Benefit Plan’s 

costs throughout the duration of the 

exemption. 

12. Therefore, this exemption requires 

the Fedeli Group to use any of the 

savings it derives from the captive 

reinsurance arrangement to reduce the 

amount each Benefit Plan participant is 

required to contribute toward the 

premiums the Benefit Plan pays to THP 

or another fronting insurer. If any Fedeli 

Group-related entity receives a direct or 

indirect profit, tax benefit, investment 

gain or other remunerative benefit 

through the reinsurance arrangement, 

the Fedeli Group must further enhance 

the Benefit Plan in an amount greater 

than the $2,023.20 per participant per 

year contribution reduction in a manner 

consistent with the terms and 

conditions of this exemption. 

13. On an on-going basis, the 

independent fiduciary is required to 

review all relevant financial information 

of Risk Specialists and any other Fedelirelated entity as is necessary to ensure 

that this and the other terms and 

conditions described in this proposal 

are met and to annually certify in a 

written report submitted to the 

Department that all requirements of the 

proposed exemption have been met. 

Furthermore, as described in the notice 

of proposed exemption, this exemption 

requires a number of protective 

conditions designed to ensure that the 

rights of the Plan and its participants 

and beneficiaries are protected. 

Comments Received Regarding 

Proposed Exemption 

In the proposed exemption, the 

Department invited all interested 

persons to submit written comments 

and/or requests for a public hearing 

with respect to the proposed exemption 

by December 21, 2023. The Department 

did not receive any written comments or 

requests for a public hearing.2

Therefore, on basis of the entirety of 

the public record for this exemption 

application and the conditions for relief 

included below, the Department finds 

that the exemption is administratively 

feasible for the Department, in the 

interests of the Benefit Plan and its 

participants and beneficiaries, and 

protective of the rights of the Benefit 

Plan’s participants and beneficiaries. 

The complete application file (L– 

11954) is available for public inspection 

in the Public Disclosure Room of the 

Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Room N–1515, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210. 

For a more complete statement of the 

facts and representations supporting the 

Department’s decision to grant this 

exemption, please refer to the notice of 

proposed exemption published on 

November 6, 2023, at 88 FR 76253. 

General Information 

The attention of interested persons is 

directed to the following: 

(1) The fact that a transaction is the 

subject of an exemption under ERISA 

Section 408(a) does not relieve a 

fiduciary or other party in interest from 

certain requirements of other ERISA 

provisions, including any prohibited 

transaction provisions to which the 

exemption does not apply and the 

general fiduciary responsibility 

provisions of ERISA Section 404, which, 

among other things, require a fiduciary 

to discharge his or her duties respecting 

the plan solely in the interest of the 

plan’s participants and beneficiaries and 

in a prudent fashion in accordance with 

ERISA section 404(a)(1)(B). 

(2) As required by ERISA section 

408(a), the Department hereby finds that 

the exemption is: (a) administratively 

feasible for the Department; (b) in the 

interests of affected plans and of their 

participants and beneficiaries; and (c) 

protective of the rights of participants 

and beneficiaries of the Benefit Plan. 

(3) This exemption is supplemental to 

and not in derogation of any other 

ERISA provisions, including statutory or 

administrative exemptions and 

transitional rules. Furthermore, the fact 

that the Department is granting an 

administrative exemption for this 

transaction is not dispositive to 

determining whether the transaction is 

in fact a prohibited transaction. 

(4) The Department’s grant of this 

exemption is based on the express 

condition that the material facts and 

representations contained in the 

application accurately describe all 

material terms of the transactions that 

are the subject of the exemption. 

Accordingly, the Department grants 

the following exemption under the 

authority of ERISA Section 408(a)in 

accordance with its exemption 

procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 

2570, subpart B (76 FR 66637, 66644, 

October 27, 2011): 

Exemption 

Section I. Covered Transactions 

The restrictions of ERISA sections 

406(a)(1)(D) and 406(b)(1) will not apply 

to the reinsurance of risks and the 

receipt of premiums therefrom by Risk 

Specialists LLC (Risk Specialists), in 

connection with insurance contracts 

sold by THP Insurance Company, Inc. 

(THP) or any successor insurance 

company to THP, which is unrelated to 

the Fedeli Group, Inc. (Fedeli Group or 

the Applicant), including any entity 

related to Fedeli Group to provide 

medical and hospital coverage to 

participants in the Fedeli Group, Inc. 

Employee Benefits Plan (the Benefit 

Plan) (these covered transactions are 

referred to as the Captive Reinsurance 

Arrangement) provided that the 

conditions set forth in Section II are 

met. 

Section II. Conditions 

(a) All of the savings from the Captive 

Reinsurance Arrangement will be used 

to reduce the amount that each Benefit 

Plan participant is required to 

contribute toward the premium the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2024 / Notices 93355 

Benefit Plan pays to THP or another 

fronting insurer. The cost savings will 

be determined relative to the reasonable 

cost the Benefit Plan would otherwise 

have paid for comparable benefits 

pursuant to a non-captive arrangement 

with an unrelated, third-party insurer. 

In no year will the reduction in Benefit 

Plan participant contributions be less 

than $2,023.20 per participant per year. 

The premium reduction will benefit all 

Plan participants equally and will be 

verified by the Independent Fiduciary 

as described below. 

(b) Benefit Plan participant 

contributions will be further reduced by 

an amount equal to any net benefit (the 

Extra Benefit) any Fedeli Group entity 

received that is directly or indirectly 

generated by the Captive Reinsurance 

Arrangement over each five-year period, 

the first of which begins on the grant 

date this exemption is granted. Extra 

Benefits include, but are not limited to, 

increased earned income, increased 

savings, a tax reduction or a profit or 

any benefit arising from a further 

diversification of Risk Specialist’s risks 

in connection with adding Plan-related 

insurance risks to Risk Specialist’s other 

risks. The reduction will be received by 

Benefit Plan participants on a pro rata 

basis in the year following the five-year 

period to which the Extra Benefit 

relates; plus an additional interest 

payment on the amount of the Extra 

Benefit at the Internal Revenue Code’s 

federal underpayment rate established 

in Code section 6621(b). The interest on 

the Extra Benefit will be calculated for 

the period from the end of the Benefit 

Plan year the Extra Benefit was earned 

through the start of the Benefit Plan year 

in which the Extra Benefit is applied to 

reduce Benefit Plan participants’ 

contributions. 

(c) Benefit Plan participants will 

contribute no more than 17.38% of the 

premium paid by the Benefit Plan to 

THP or another fronting insurer. 

(d) Risk Specialists: 

(1) Is a party in interest with respect 

to the Benefit Plan by reason of a stock 

affiliation with Fedeli Group that is 

described in ERISA section 3(14)(E) or 

(G); 

(2) Is licensed to sell insurance or 

conduct reinsurance operations in the 

state of Tennessee; 

(3) Has obtained a Certificate of 

Authority from the insurance 

commissioner of the State of Tennessee 

to transact the business of a captive 

insurance company, which has neither 

been revoked nor suspended, and has 

undergone a financial examination 

(within the meaning of the law of its 

domiciliary State, Tennessee) by the 

Insurance Commissioner of the State of 

Tennessee within five years before the 

end of the year preceding the year in 

which the reinsurance transaction 

occurred; 

(4) Has undergone and shall continue 

to undergo an examination by an 

independent certified public accountant 

for its last completed taxable year 

immediately prior to the taxable year of 

the reinsurance transaction covered by 

this exemption; and 

(5) Is licensed to conduct reinsurance 

transactions by a state whose law 

requires that an actuarial review of 

reserves be conducted annually by an 

independent firm of actuaries and 

reported to the appropriate regulatory 

authority. 

(e) The Benefit Plan will pay no more 

than adequate consideration with 

respect to insurance that is part of the 

Captive Reinsurance Arrangement. 

(f) No commissions will be paid by 

the Benefit Plan with respect to the 

direct sale of such contracts or the 

reinsurance thereof. 

(g) In the initial year of any contract 

involving Risk Specialists and THP or 

any successor insurer, the Benefit Plan’s 

participants and beneficiaries will 

receive an immediate and objectively 

determined benefit in the form of 

decreased participant contributions, and 

such benefits will continue in all 

subsequent years of each contract and in 

every renewal of each contract. 

(h) In the initial year and in 

subsequent years of coverage provided 

by THP or another fronting insurer 

(either, a Fronting Insurer), the formulae 

used by THP or a Fronting Insurer to 

calculate premiums will be similar to 

formulae used by other insurers 

providing comparable life insurance 

coverage under similar programs that 

are not captive reinsured. Furthermore, 

the premium charges calculated in 

accordance with the formulae will be 

reasonable and will be comparable to 

the premiums charged by the Fronting 

Insurer and its competitors with the 

same or a better financial strength rating 

providing the same coverage under 

comparable programs that are not 

captive reinsured. 

(i) Fedeli Group will only contract 

with insurers with a financial strength 

rating of ‘‘A’’ or better from A.M. Best 

Company. The reinsurance arrangement 

between any fronting insurer and Risk 

Specialists will be indemnity insurance 

only, which means that the fronting 

insurer will not be relieved of any 

liability to the Benefit Plan should Risk 

Specialists be unable or unwilling to 

cover any liability arising from the 

reinsurance arrangement. 

(j) Participants and beneficiaries in 

the Benefit Plan will receive no less 

than the immediate and objectively 

determined increased benefits the 

participant and beneficiary received in 

the initial year of each such contract 

involving Risk Specialists and THP in 

subsequent years of every contract of 

reinsurance involving Risk Specialists 

and THP. 

(k) For each taxable year of Risk 

Specialists, the gross premiums received 

in that taxable year by Risk Specialists 

for benefit insurance provided to Fedeli 

Group and its employees with respect to 

which Risk Specialists is a party in 

interest by reason of the relationship to 

Fedeli Group as described in ERISA 

section 3(14)(E) or (G), will not exceed 

50% of the gross premiums received for 

all lines of insurance (i.e., benefit 

insurance and non-benefit insurance) in 

that taxable year by Risk Specialists. 

(l) The Benefit Plan will retain a 

qualified independent fiduciary (the 

Independent Fiduciary) to analyze the 

transactions covered by the exemption 

and render an opinion that the terms 

and conditions of this exemption have 

been satisfied. 

(m) The Independent Fiduciary will: 

(1) Monitor the transactions described 

here on behalf of the Benefit Plan on a 

continuing basis to ensure such 

transactions remain in the interest of the 

Benefit Plan; 

(2) Take all appropriate actions to 

safeguard the interests of the Benefit 

Plan; 

(3) Enforce compliance with all 

conditions of this exemption and all 

conditions and obligations imposed on 

any party dealing with the Benefit Plan; 

(4) Review all contracts, and any 

renewals of such contracts, pertaining to 

the Captive Reinsurance Arrangement, 

to determine whether the requirements 

of this exemption, and the terms of the 

increased benefits continue to be 

satisfied; and 

(5) Provide an annual, certified report 

to the Department, under penalty of 

perjury, indicating whether the terms 

and conditions of the exemption 

continue to be satisfied. Each report will 

be completed within six months after 

the end of the twelve-month period to 

which it relates (the first twelve-month 

period begins on the first day of the 

implementation of the Captive 

Reinsurance Arrangement), and be 

submitted to the Department within 60 

days thereafter. The relevant report will 

include all the objective data necessary 

to demonstrate that the Primary Benefit 

Test has been met. 

(n) The Benefit Plan, Fedeli Group 

and its related parties have not, and will 

not, indemnify the Independent 

Fiduciary, in whole or in part, for 

negligence and/or for any violations of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
93356 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2024 / Notices 

state or federal law that may be 

attributable to the Independent 

Fiduciary in performing its duties under 

the Captive Reinsurance Arrangement. 

In addition, no contract or instrument 

will purport to waive any liability under 

state or federal law for any such 

violations. In the event a successor 

Independent Fiduciary is appointed to 

represent the interests of the Plan with 

respect to the subject transaction, no 

time shall elapse between the 

resignation or termination of the former 

Independent Fiduciary and the 

appointment of the successor 

Independent Fiduciary. 

(o) No Fedeli Group entity or related 

entity will use participant-related data 

or information generated by or derived 

from the proposed arrangement in a 

manner that benefits the Fedeli Group 

or related entity. 

(p) No amount of THP’s reserves that 

are attributable to the Plan participants’ 

contributions will be transferred to 

Fedeli Group or a related party. 

(q) Fedeli Group will not evade the 

conditions in this exemption by 

offsetting or reducing any benefits 

provided to Fedeli Group employees to 

defray the costs, expenses, or 

obligations of complying with this 

exemption. 

(r) All expenses associated with the 

exemption and the exemption 

application, including any payment to 

the Independent Fiduciary, will be paid 

by Fedeli Group and not the Plan. 

(s) All the material facts and 

representations set forth in the 

Summary of Facts and Representation 

are and will be true and accurate at all 

times. 

Exemption date: This exemption will 

be in effect on November 26, 2024.
