      Subject to Rules PIN A6.2.4, PIN A6.2.5, and PIN A6.2.6, an Insurer must calculate its Minimum Segmental Capital Requirement according to the following applicable formula:

      (a) for an Insurer, other than a Captive Insurer: MCR = DRC + IVRC + OARC + OLRC + CRC + SFAC + URC + RRC + LIRC + AMRC;
      (b) for a Class 1 Captive Insurer: MCR = higher of URC and RRC; and
      (c) for a Class 2 and Class 3 Captive Insurer: MCR = DRC + IVRC + URC + RRC;

      where:
