EIOPA confirms that solo submissions for the acquired are not expected to be affected.
Regarding the group submission, by default the date of acquisition of the insurer should be considered as the general principle of consolidation states that only the profit/loss after the acquisition date should be considered in the consolidation. If a group buys an entity, all assets and liabilities are revalued. This means:
-    S.06.02.C0160 - Acquisition value: should reflect the Solvency II value at the date of insurer acquisition. Please note that, if the same asset is held by different entities within the group are subject to consolidation, the acquisition value should be reported as a weighted average. Different acquisition values do not originate additional lines in S.06.02;
-    S.08.01.C0220 - Initial date; C0150 - Premium paid to date; C0160 - Premium received to date: should reflect the information since the date of insurer acquisition;
-    S.08.02.C0140 - Premium paid to date; C0150 - Premium received to date; C0160 - Profit and loss to date: should reflect the information since the date of insurer acquisition;
-    S.09.01: should reflect the information since the date of insurer acquisition.Regarding the scope of trading activity, the contracts closed prior to the insurer acquisition of the company should not be reported.
