PTE 92-6 exempts from the prohibited
transaction restrictions the sale of individual life insurance or
annuity contracts held by an employee benefit plan to: (1) plan
participants insured under such contracts; (2) a relative of such
participant who is the beneficiaries under the contract, (3) an
employer any of whose employees are covered by the plan; (4)
another employee benefit plan; (5) plan participants who are
owner-employees (as defined in section 401(c)(3) of the Code), or
shareholder-employees (as defined in section 1379 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954 as in effect on the day before the enactment
of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982), or (6) trusts
established by or for the benefit of plan participants (1) or (2),
provided certain conditions set forth in the class exemption are
met. With respect to sales of the policy to the employer, a
relative of the insured, a trust, or another plan, the participant
insured under the policy is first informed of the proposed sale and
is given the opportunity to purchase such contract from the plan,
and delivers a written document to the plan stating that he or she
elects not to purchase the policy and consents to the sale by the
plan of such policy to such employer, relative, trust or other
plan.
