Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Policy Owners of COLI VUL-2 Series Account and the Board of Directors of
Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the investment divisions listed in Appendix A that comprise COLI VUL-2 Series Account (the Series Account) of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the year or periods then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the year or periods then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Series Account as of December 31, 2021, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the year or periods then ended, and the financial highlights for the year or periods then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2020 and financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2020 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated May 10, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Series Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agents. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ KPMG LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company separate accounts since 2021.

COLI VUL-2 SERIES ACCOUNT OF

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The COLI VUL-2 Series Account (the Series Account), a variable life separate account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the Company), is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and exists in accordance with regulations of the Colorado Division of Insurance was established on December 30, 1998. It is a funding vehicle for variable life insurance policies. The Series Account consists of numerous investment divisions (Investment Divisions), each being treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes, and each investing all of its investible assets in the named underlying mutual fund.

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company's other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Series Account's assets applicable to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the Series Account is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. Net premiums from the Contracts are allocated to the subaccounts in accordance with contract owner instructions and are recorded as variable annuity contract transactions in the statement of changes in net assets. Such amounts are used to provide account funds to pay contract values under the Contracts. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company’s other assets and liabilities.

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as COVID-19, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Series Account in future periods. Management will continue to monitor developments and their impact on the fair value of the subaccounts in which the Separate Account invests.

The preparation of financial statements and financial highlights of each of the Investment Divisions in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and financial highlights and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Series Account is an investment company and, therefore, applies specialized accounting guidance in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” (ASC Topic 946). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Series Account.

Security Valuation

Mutual fund investments held by the Investment Divisions are valued at the reported net asset values of such underlying mutual funds, which value their investment securities at fair value.

The Series Account classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Series Account’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. When considering market participant assumptions in

93

fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

As of December 31, 2021, the only investments of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account were in underlying mutual funds that are actively traded, therefore 100% of the investments are valued using Level 1 inputs.

Fund of Funds Structure Risk

Since the Series Account invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to the Series Account. To the extent the Series Account invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, the Series Account will have greater exposure to the risks of the underlying fund.

Security Transactions and Investment Income

Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and the amounts distributed to the Investment Division for its share of dividends are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related mutual funds.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Company is included in the consolidated federal tax return of Great-West Lifeco U.S. Inc. Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Series Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically review the status of the federal income tax policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

Proceeds from Units Sold

Proceeds from Units Sold from contract owners by the Company are credited as accumulation units, and are reported as Contract Transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Net Transfers

Net transfers include transfers between Investment Divisions of the Series Account as well as transfers between other investment options of the Company, not included in the Series Account.

Other, Net

The amount reported as Other, Net on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions consist of loans from participant accounts less the loan origination fee, and loan repayments to participant accounts.

4. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

For each Investment Division, the accumulation units outstanding, net assets, investment income ratio, expense ratio (excluding expenses of the underlying funds), total return and accumulation unit fair values for each year or period ended December 31 are included on the following pages. The unit values in the Financial Highlights are calculated based on the net assets and accumulation units outstanding as of December 31 of each year presented and may differ from the unit value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to rounding.

The Expense Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the respective Investment Divisions of the Series Account, consisting of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.

The Total Return amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These returns do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment Divisions with a date notation indicate the effective date that the investment option was available in the Series Account. The total returns are calculated for each 12-month period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period and are not annualized for periods less than one year. When a new Investment Division is added to the Series Account, the calculation of the total return begins on the day it has investment activity during the period. Unit values and returns for bands or Investment Divisions that had no operations activity during the reporting period are not shown. As the total returns for the Investment Divisions are presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

The Investment Income Ratio represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying mutual fund divided by average net assets during the period. It is not annualized for periods less than one year. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Investment Division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Investment Division invest.

Item 5.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

5.1     Equity Security Holders and Market Information

There is no established public trading market for the Company’s common equity.  GWL&A Financial is the sole shareholder of the Company’s common equity securities.

5.2     Dividends

In the three most recent fiscal years, the Company has paid dividends on its common shares. Dividends paid on the Company’s common stock were $506 million, $358 million, and $640 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Under Colorado law, the Company cannot, without the approval of the Colorado Commissioner of Insurance, pay a dividend if as a result of such payment, the total of that dividend and all dividends paid in the preceding twelve months, would exceed the greater of (i) 10% of the Company’s statutory surplus as regards policyholders as of the preceding year ended December 31; or (ii) the Company’s statutory net gain, not including realized capital gains, for the twelve-month period ending the preceding December 31 not including pro rata distributions of the Company’s own securities. Additionally, dividend payments generally will not be allowed if the statutory surplus remaining after the proposed dividend would fall below the minimum RBC that requires regulatory action.

7.1 Executive Summary

The Company and its subsidiaries are providers of retirement services, insurance, and other financial service products to corporate, institutional, government and individual customers. Management considers the ability to continue to expand its presence in the United States defined contribution market to be its primary point of focus.  The retirement services, savings, and investments marketplace is highly competitive. Competitors include insurance companies, banks, investment advisors, mutual fund companies, and certain service and professional organizations.

The Empower Retirement segment provides various retirement plan products (including IRAs) and investment options, as well as comprehensive administrative and recordkeeping services for financial institutions and employers, which include educational, advisory, enrollment, and communication services to employer-sponsored defined contribution plans and associated defined benefit plans.  Defined contribution plans provide for benefits based upon the value of contributions to, and investment returns on, an individual’s account.

The Individual Markets segment is closed and in run-off. It previously distributed life insurance, annuity, and retirement products to both individuals and businesses. Direct life insurance products in-force include participating and non-participating term life, whole life, universal life, and variable universal life. Effective June, 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale, via indemnity reinsurance, of substantially all of its Individual Markets live and annuity business to Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective"). The Company retained a block of life insurance, predominately participant policies which are now administered by Protective.

The Company’s Other reporting segment is substantially comprised of corporate items not directly allocated to the other operating segments and interest expense on long-term debt.

Recent Events

On July 21, 2021, the Company announced it's intent to acquire the full-service retirement business of Prudential Financial, Inc. Prudential's retirement recordkeeping business comprises more than 4,300 workplace savings plans, with approximately 4 million participants and $314 billion in assets. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022 subject to customary regulatory approval.

On August 26, 2021, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount of $1.2 billion to GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds are anticipated to be used to partially fund the acquisition of certain businesses from Prudential Financial, Inc. The note matures on December 31, 2051. The surplus note bears an interest rate of 4.2% per annum until December 31, 2026. Starting on December 31, 2026 and on every fifth anniversary of such date thereafter, the interest rate on the note is reset to equal the five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 3.4%.

Effective December 31, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition, via indemnity reinsurance ("the MassMutual transaction"), of the retirement services business of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"), strengthening Empower Retirement’s position as the second largest player in the U.S. retirement market. The Company paid a $2.3 billion reinsurance ceding commission, net of working capital adjustments. Per the transaction agreement, the Company acquired Statutory assets equal to liabilities.

On August 17, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Personal Capital Corporation ("Personal Capital"), a hybrid wealth manager that combines leading-edge digital experience with personalized advice delivered by human advisors. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired the equity of Personal Capital for $825 million on closing and deferred consideration of up to $175 million subject to achievement of target growth objectives. An initial contingent consideration earn-out value of $20 million was recorded at December 31, 2020. The contingent consideration provision was increased by $80 million in 2021 for a total contingent consideration provision of $100 million at December 31, 2021. The increases in 2021 were due to growth in net new assets above the amount assumed at the date of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of the contingent

consideration measured in accordance with the Merger Agreement subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation are recognized in operating and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company received capital contributions of $3.1 billion from GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds were used to finance the Personal Capital and MassMutual transactions.

On August 12, 2020, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount of $528 million to GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds were used to finance the Personal Capital transaction. The surplus note bears an interest rate of 1.260% per annum and matures on August 12, 2025.

On January 1, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries executed a strategy to simplify its corporate structure and affiliated transactions. The transaction included the following changes:

· Substantially all employees of GWL&A and its other subsidiaries were transferred to the subsidiary, Empower Retirement, LLC ("ERLLC").

· ERLLC assumed all recordkeeping related revenues, and related expenses, either by direct assignment of contracts or through a transition services agreement between ERLLC, GWL&A, and GWL&A’s subsidiaries.

· Substantially all vendor contracts were assigned to ERLLC.

· ERLLC entered into an administrative services agreement whereby it provides corporate and other shared services to GWL&A and its affiliates and is reimbursed for expenses incurred.

As a result of this organizational change, the Company will focus primarily on insurance related activity.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in continued economic pressures. While rising vaccination rates have led governments in different regions to ease restrictions put in place, many factors continue to extend economic uncertainty, including but not limited to: the availability, adoption and uncertainty around the effectiveness of vaccines; the emergence of COVID-19 variants; and the extent and timing of related government and central bank actions. The Company has developed flexible strategies to manage the current environment and leverage opportunities for the future. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be unknown at this time. The results of the Company reflect management's judgments regarding the impact of prevailing market conditions.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("the CARES Act") was enacted on March 27, 2020. Under the CARES Act, the U.S. Federal government authorized broad based economic relief and support for individuals and businesses, including changes to distribution and loan rules from employer retirement plans and Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs") which are similar to the relief offered in prior disaster relief laws. The Company implemented the distribution and loan changes. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") subsequently issued an interpretive guidance on the CARES Act and the Company updated its CARES Act distribution and loan processes and procedures accordingly. The CARES Act distributions were allowed through December 31, 2020 and loans were allowed through September 22, 2020. The CARES Act did not prevent the Company from executing on its overall business strategy and growth objectives.

On December 10, 2019, the Company redeemed all $195 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.675% surplus note due November 14, 2034.

Effective June 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale, via indemnity reinsurance (the "Protective transaction"), of substantially all of its individual life insurance and annuity business to Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective") who now assumes the economics and risks associated with the reinsured business. Per the transaction agreement, the Company transferred statutory assets equal to liabilities. The business transferred included bank-owned and corporate-owned life insurance, single premium life insurance, individual annuities as well as closed block life insurance and annuities. The Company will retain a block of life insurance, predominantly participating policies which are now administered by Protective, as well as a closed reinsurance acquired block. Post-transaction, the Company will focus on the defined contribution retirement and asset management markets.

The Company entered into a coinsurance with funds withheld / modified coinsurance agreement with London Life International Reinsurance Corporation ("LLIRC"), an affiliate, to cede portions of its group annuity, whole life, and universal life policies effective December 31, 2016. On January 1, 2018, the Company terminated this 2016 agreement. On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance agreement with LLIRC pursuant to which it ceded portions of its group annuity policies. On August 14, 2020 LLIRC was renamed Canada Life International Reinsurance Corporation Limited (“CLIRBC”). On December 31, 2020 the original treaty was novated to Canada Life International Reinsurance (Barbados) Corporation (CLIRBC) and the quota share was increased. These transactions had large impacts to financial statement lines, but no material impact to statutory net income.

Market Conditions

The S&P 500 index ended 2021 up by 27% as compared to 2020, and 2020 was up by 16% when compared to 2019. The average of the S&P 500 index during the year ended December 31, 2021, was up by 33% when compared to the average for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the average was up by 10% for the year ended December 31, 2020, when compared to the average for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Variable asset-based fees earned by the Company fluctuate with changes in participant account balances. Participant account balances change due to cash flow and market gains and losses, which are primarily associated with changes in the United States equities market. Fee income increased by $165 million, or 159%, to $269 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, when compared to 2020, primarily due to fees from separate account fee income due to the block of business acquired from MassMutual.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury rate ended 2021 up by 59 basis points as compared to 2020, while 2020 was down by 99 basis points when compared to 2019. The average of the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate during the year ended December 31, 2021 ended up by 56 basis points when compared to the average for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the average was down by 125 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2020, when compared to the average for the year ended December 31, 2019.

7.2 Summary of Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The Company prepares its statutory financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance ("The Division"). The Division requires that insurance companies domiciled in the State of Colorado prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”), subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado Insurance Commissioner.

The only prescribed deviation that impacts the Company allows the Company to account for certain separate account products at book value instead of fair value. The Division has not permitted the Company to adopt any other accounting practices that have an impact on the Company’s statutory financial statements as compared to NAIC SAP or the Division’s prescribed accounting practices. There is no impact to either capital and surplus or net income as a result of the prescribed accounting practice.

The Company has identified the following accounting policies, judgments, and estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:

· Valuation of investments

· Impairment of investments

· Valuation of derivatives and related hedge accounting

· Impairment of goodwill

· Valuation of policy benefits

· Valuation of deferred taxes

Valuation of investments

The Company’s investments are in bonds, mortgage loans, real estate, contract loans, and other investments. The Company’s investments are exposed to three primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate, and market valuation. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the determination of fair values.

The fair values for bonds are generally based upon evaluated prices from independent pricing services.  In cases where these prices are not readily available, fair values are estimated by the Company. To determine estimated fair value for these instruments, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow models with market observable pricing inputs such as spreads, average life and credit quality. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s financial instruments.

Impairment of investments

The Company evaluates its general account investments on a quarterly basis to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Assumptions and estimates about the issuer’s operations and ability to generate future cash flows are inherent in management’s evaluation of investments for other- than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”). The assessment of whether an OTTI has occurred is based upon management’s case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value of each individual security. An OTTI is recorded (a) if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms in effect at the date of acquisition, (b) if the Company has the intent to sell the investment or (c) for non-interest related declines in value and where the Company does not have the intent and ability at the reporting date, to hold the bond until its recovery. Management considers a wide range of factors regarding the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in its estimated fair value and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. While all available information is taken into account, it is difficult to predict the ultimate recoverable amount from a distressed or impaired security. The evaluation of impairments is a quantitative and

7

qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer’s financial condition or near term recovery prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads, and the recovery period.

If an OTTI has occurred on loan-backed and structured securities, the impairment amount is bifurcated into two components: the amount related to the non-interest loss and the amount attributed to other factors. The calculation of expected cash flows utilized during the impairment evaluation and bifurcation process is determined using judgment and the best information available to the Company including default rates, credit ratings, collateral characteristics, and current levels of subordination.

The determination of the calculation and the adequacy of the mortgage allowance for credit loss and mortgage impairments (when management deems it probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement) involve judgments that incorporate qualitative and quantitative Company and industry mortgage performance data. Management’s periodic evaluation and assessment of the adequacy of the mortgage provision allowance and the need for mortgage impairments is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the fair value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, loss experience, and other relevant factors.

Valuation of derivatives and related hedge accounting

Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are valued using the valuation method (either amortized cost or fair value) consistent with the underlying hedged asset or liability. Derivatives where hedge accounting is either not elected or that are not eligible for hedge accounting are stated at fair value; changes in fair values are recognized in unassigned surplus in the period of change.

The fair value of derivatives is determined by quoted market prices or through the use of pricing models. The determination of fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on valuation methodologies and assumptions deemed appropriate under the circumstances. Values can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, market volatility, and liquidity. Judgment is applied in determining the availability and application of hedge accounting designations and the appropriate accounting treatment under accounting guidance. If it were determined that hedge accounting designations were not appropriately applied, reported capital and surplus could be materially affected. Differences in judgment as to the availability and application of hedge accounting designations and the appropriate accounting treatment may result in a differing impact on the financial statements of the Company from that previously reported. Assessments of hedge effectiveness and measurements of ineffectiveness of hedging relationships are also subject to interpretations and estimations and different interpretations or estimates may have a material effect on the amount reported in capital and surplus.

Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is from acquisitions of subsidiaries that are reported in common stock and other invested assets and is the excess of the purchase price over the book value of the entity acquired. Statutory goodwill is amortized to unrealized capital gains/(losses) over the period in which the Company benefits economically, not to exceed ten years. Admissible goodwill is limited in the aggregate to 10% of the Company’s adjusted capital and surplus. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as impairment and recorded as a realized loss in the period in which the impairment is identified.

Policy reserves

8

Life insurance and annuity policy reserves with life contingencies are computed on the basis of statutory mortality and interest requirements and without consideration for withdrawals. Annuity contract reserves without life contingencies are computed on the basis of statutory interest requirements.

Policy reserves for life insurance are valued in accordance with the provision of applicable statutory regulations. Life insurance reserves are determined principally using the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method, using the statutory mortality and interest requirements, without consideration for withdrawals. Some policies contain a surrender value in excess of the reserve as legally computed. This excess is calculated and recorded on a policy-by-policy basis.

Premium stabilization reserves are calculated for certain policies to reflect the Company’s estimate of experience refunds and interest accumulations on these policies. The reserves are invested by the Company. The income earned on these investments is accumulated in this reserve and is used to mitigate future premium rate increases for such policies.

Policy reserves ceded to other insurance companies are recorded as a reduction of the reserve liabilities. The cost of reinsurance related to long-duration contracts is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Policy and contract claims include provisions for reported life and health claims in process of settlement, valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts, as well as provisions for claims incurred but not reported based primarily on prior experience of the Company. As such, amounts are estimates, and the ultimate liability may differ from the amount recorded.Any changes in estimates will be reflected in the results of operations when additional information becomes known.

The liabilities for health claim reserves are determined using historical run-out rates, expected loss ratios and statistical analysis. The Company provides for significant claim volatility in areas where experience has fluctuated. The liabilities represent estimates of the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims which are unpaid at year-end. Those estimates are subject to considerable variability in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations.

Liability reserves for variable annuities with guarantees and universal life without secondary guarantees are valued in accordance with Principle-Based Reserving (PBR) methods, outlined in NAIC Valuation Manual Sections 20 and 21. PBR utilizes stochastic models to calculate levels of reserves to cover future benefits that would occur under potentially adverse conditions.

Valuation of deferred taxes

A net deferred tax asset is included in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus which is recorded using the asset and liability method in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in either the Company’s statutory financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets are subject to admissibility limitations prescribed by statutory accounting principles which include estimates of future tax events. The change in deferred income taxes is treated as a component of the change in unassigned deficit.

The Company’s net income increased by $1,994 million, or 118%, to $299 million. The increase was primarily due to the non-recurrence of the ceding commission paid for the MassMutual acquisition in 2020, and growth in 2021 attributed to the acquired MassMutual business.

Premium income and annuity consideration decreased by $(6,505) million, or (51)%, to $6,327 million primarily due to the non-recurrence of initial premium from MassMutual in the previous year offset by new premium from MassMutual in the current year.

Net investment income increased by $315 million, or 33%, to $1,263 million primarily due to the income earned on the invested assets transferred from MassMutual.

Fee and miscellaneous income increased by $416 million, or 400%, to $520 million primarily due to the fees from separate account and interest on funds withheld acquired from MassMutual.

The reserve adjustment on reinsurance ceded changed by $(8,677) million, or (121)%, to $(1,519) million primarily due to non-recurrence of the increase from 40% to 90% on coinsurance ceded to CLIRBC in the prior year.

Other income increased $52 million, or 25%, to $264 million, primarily due to the amortization of transactional IMR related to the MassMutual transaction and increase in the commissions ceded to CLIRBC due to the change in quota share to 90% in the current year from 40% in the previous year.

10

Policyholder benefits increased by $11,156 million, or 275%, to $15,213 million primarily due to the increase in surrenders related to the block of business acquired from MassMutual.

Change in aggregate reserves for life and accident health policies and contracts changed by $(17,487) million, or (106)%, to $(1,038) million primarily due to the non-recurrence of initial reserves acquired from MassMutual in the previous year.

Other insurance benefits, expenses and commissions decreased by $(2,758) million, or (85)%, to $497 million primarily due to the non-recurrence of the ceding commission paid to MassMutual in the previous year.

Net transfers from separate accounts changed by $(7,326) million, or 906%, to $(8,135) million primarily due to the transfers from the MassMutual block of business.

The Company’s net income decreased by $(2,078) million, or (543)%, to $(1,695) million.  The decrease was primarily due to the ceding commission paid to MassMutual. Excluding the MassMutual transaction, net income decreased from the prior year due to lower earnings in Individual Markets.

Premium income and annuity consideration increased by $18,198 million, or 339%, to $12,832 million primarily due to the initial reinsurance premium on the MassMutual transaction and non-recurrence of the initial reinsurance premium related to the Protective transaction, partially offset by higher reinsurance premiums ceded to CLIRBC.

11

Net investment income decreased by $(151) million, or (14)%, to $948 million primarily due to lower average invested assets due to the transfer of invested assets to Protective, partially offset by higher net investment income in Empower.

Fee and miscellaneous income decreased by $(265) million, or (72)%, to $104 million primarily due to the transfer of non-insurance business to the Company's subsidiary, Empower Retirement, LLC and no fee income earned on the reinsured business in the current year.

The reserve adjustment on reinsurance ceded changed by $7,751 million, or 1,307%, to $7,158 million primarily due to an increase in amounts ceded to the Company's affiliate, CLIRBC.

Other insurance benefits, expenses and commissions increased by $3,108 million, or 2,114%, to $3,255 million primarily related to the ceding commission paid to MassMutual, interest maintenance reserve acquired from MassMutual, and non-recurrence of favorable release of interest maintenance reserve related to the Protective transaction.

Net transfers from separate accounts changed by $519 million, or 39%, to $(809) million primarily due to lower separate account surrenders and net flows to the general account.

Reserve adjustment on reinsurance ceded changed by $(43) million, or (12)%, to $(415) million is primarily due to ceding higher death benefits which resulted in a higher release of ceded reserves.

Policyholder benefits decreased by $(28) million, or (23)%, to $92 million primarily due to lower retained death benefits in the participating line of business as compared to the prior year.

Change in aggregate reserves for life and accident health policies and contracts changed by $(60) million, or (49)%, to $(183) million primarily due to higher policyholder benefits paid and lower premiums in the current year as this is a closed block of business in run-off.

7.7 Investment Operations

The Company's primary investment objective is to acquire assets with duration and cash flow characteristics reflective of its liabilities, while meeting industry, size, issuer and geographic diversification standards.  Formal liquidity and credit quality parameters have also been established.

The Company follows rigorous procedures to control interest rate risk and observes strict asset and liability matching guidelines.  These guidelines ensure that even under changing market conditions, the Company's assets should meet the cash flow and income requirements of its liabilities.  Using dynamic modeling to analyze the effects of a range of possible market changes upon investments and policyholder benefits, the Company works to ensure that its investment portfolio is appropriately structured to fulfill financial obligations to its policyholders.

The following table presents the percentage distribution of the admitted values of the Company's general account investment portfolio:

	December 31,
(In millions)	2021				2020
Bonds	$	26,797	69.0	%	$	25,712	66.7	%

Total cash and invested assets	$	38,859	100.0	%	$	38,526	100.0	%

Bonds

Bonds include public and privately placed corporate bonds, government bonds, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.  Included in bonds are perpetual debt investments which primarily consist of junior subordinated debt instruments that have no stated maturity date but pay fixed or floating interest in perpetuity.  The Company's strategy related to mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is to focus on those investments with low prepayment risk and minimal credit risk.

Private placement investments are generally less marketable than publicly traded assets, yet they typically offer enhanced covenant protection that allows the Company, if necessary, to take appropriate action to protect its investment.  The Company believes that the cost of the additional monitoring and analysis required by private placement investments is more than offset by their enhanced yield.

One of the Company's primary objectives is to ensure that its bond portfolio is maintained at a high average credit quality to limit credit risk.  All securities are internally rated by the Company on a basis intended to be similar to that of independent external rating agencies.

Mortgage Loans

The Company's mortgage loans are comprised primarily of domestic commercial collateralized loans.  The mortgage loan portfolio is diversified with regard to geographical markets and commercial mortgage property types.  The Company originates, directly or through correspondents, or acquires mortgages in the secondary market with the intent to hold to maturity.  The Company's portfolio includes loans which are fully amortizing, amortizing with a balloon balance at maturity, interest only to maturity, and interest only for a number of years followed by an amortizing period.

Derivatives

The Company uses certain derivatives, such as futures, swaps, forwards, and interest rate swaptions, for purposes of managing the interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, and equity market risks impacting the Company's business.  These derivatives, when taken alone, may subject the Company to varying degrees of market and credit risk; however, since used for hedging purposes, these instruments are intended to reduce risk.  Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are valued using the valuation method (either amortized cost or fair value) consistent with the underlying hedged asset or liability. At inception of a derivative transaction, the hedge relationship and risk management objective is documented and the designation of the derivative is determined based on specific criteria of the transaction. Derivatives where hedge accounting is either not elected or that are not eligible for hedge accounting are stated at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in unassigned surplus in the period of change. Investment gains and losses generally result from the termination of derivative contracts prior to expiration and are generally recognized in net income and may be subject to IMR. For derivative instruments where hedge accounting is either not elected or the transactions are not eligible for hedge accounting, changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, or equity markets may generate derivative gains or losses which may cause the Company to experience volatility in capital and surplus.  The Company controls the credit risk of its over-the-counter derivative contracts through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and in most cases, requiring collateral.  Risk of loss is generally limited to the portion of the fair value of derivative instruments that exceeds the value of the collateral held and not to the notional or contractual amounts of the derivatives.

Investment Yield

Net investment income includes interest income, dividends, the amortization of premiums, discounts and origination fees.

To analyze investment performance, the Company excludes net investment income related to derivative instruments in order to assess underlying profitability and results from ongoing operations.  Net investment income performance is summarized as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
(In millions)	2021			2020			2019
Net investment income	$	1,263		$	948		$	1,099
Less:
Net investment income from derivative instruments		31			19			17
Net investment income excluding derivative investments	$	1,232		$	929		$	1,082
Average invested assets, at amortized cost		37,388			24,462			25,002
Yield on average invested assets		3.30	%		3.80	%		4.33	%

The yield on average invested assets decreased in 2021 when compared to 2020.  The yield on average invested assets decreased in 2020 when compared to 2019.

7.8 Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to a company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term needs of its operations.  The Company manages its operations to create stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of cash flows to meet all of its obligations.

The principal sources of the Company's liquidity are premiums and contract deposits, fees, investment income, and investment maturities and sales.  Funds provided from these sources are reasonably predictable and normally exceed liquidity requirements for payment of policy benefits, payments to policy and contractholders in connection with surrenders and withdrawals, and general expenses.  However, since the timing of available funds cannot always be matched precisely to commitments, imbalances may arise when demands for funds exceed those on hand.  A primary liquidity concern regarding cash flows from operations is the risk of early policyholder and contractholder withdrawals.  A primary liquidity concern regarding investment activity is the risk of defaults and market volatility.

In addition, a demand for funds may arise as a result of the Company taking advantage of current investment opportunities.  The sources of the funds that may be required in such situations include the issuance of commercial paper or other debt instruments.

Management believes that the liquidity profile of its assets is sufficient to satisfy the short-term liquidity requirements of reasonably foreseeable scenarios.

Generally, the Company has met its operating requirements by utilizing cash flows from operations and maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity in its investment portfolio.  Liquidity for the Company has remained strong, as evidenced by the amounts of short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents that totaled $2,449 million and $3,471 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  In addition, 98% and 97% of the bond portfolio carried an investment grade rating at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which provides liquidity to the Company's overall investment portfolio.

The Company continues to be well capitalized with sufficient borrowing capacity.  Additionally, the Company anticipates that cash on hand and expected net cash generated by operating activities will exceed the forecasted needs of the business over the next 12 months.  The Company's financial strength provides the capacity and flexibility to enable it to raise funds in the capital markets through the issuance of commercial paper.  The Company had $96 million and $99 million of commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The commercial paper has been given a rating of A-1+ by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and a rating of P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, each being the highest rating available.  The

21

Company's issuance of commercial paper is not used to fund daily operations and does not have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity.

The Company also has available a revolving credit facility agreement with U.S. Bank, which expires on March 1, 2023, in the amount of $50 million for general corporate purposes.  The Company had no borrowings under this credit facility as of or during the year ended December 31, 2021.  The Company does not anticipate the need for borrowings under this facility and the loss of its availability would not significantly impact its liquidity.

The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka which provides access to billions of low-cost funding dollars to banks, credit unions, insurance companies and community development financial institutions in the United States. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an estimated borrowing capacity of approximately $2,500 million. No amounts were borrowed as of December 31, 2021.

Capital resources provide protection for policyholders and financial strength to support the underwriting of insurance risks and allow for continued business growth.  The amount of capital resources that may be needed is determined by the Company's senior management and Board of Directors, as well as by regulatory requirements.  The allocation of resources to new long-term business commitments is designed to achieve an attractive return, tempered by considerations of risk and the need to support the Company's existing business.

Risk-based capital ("RBC") is a regulatory tool for measuring the minimum amount of capital appropriate for a life, accident and health organization to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The Division requires the Company to maintain minimum capital and surplus equal to the company action level as calculated in the RBC model. The Company exceeds the required amount.

22

7.9 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company makes commitments to fund partnership interests, mortgage loans, and other investments in the normal course of its business.  The amounts of these unfunded commitments at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1,172 million and $499 million, respectively.  The precise timing of the fulfillment of the commitment cannot be predicted; however, these amounts may be required to be paid within one year of the dates indicated. There are no other obligations or liabilities arising from such arrangements that are reasonably likely to become material.

The Company participates in a short-term reverse repurchase program for the purpose of enhancing the total return on its investment portfolio.  This type of transaction involves the purchase of securities with a simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price.  In exchange, the counterparty financial institutions put non-cash collateral on deposit with a third-party custodian on behalf of the Company.  The amount of securities purchased in connection with these transactions was $0 and $3 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Non-cash collateral on deposit with the third-party custodian on the Company's behalf was $0 and $3 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which cannot be sold or re-pledged and which has not been recorded on the Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. Collateral related to the reverse repurchase agreements generally consists of U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities.

The Company enters into derivative transactions to manage various risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk associated with its invested assets and liabilities. Derivatives in a net asset position may have cash or securities pledged as collateral to the Company in accordance with the collateral support agreements with the counterparty.  Securities pledged to the Company were $23 million and $18 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are held in a custodial account for the benefit of the Company, and generally consist of U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities. These securities have not been recorded on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus.

The Company, as lessee, has entered into various lease and sublease agreements primarily for the rental of office space.

The Company maintains a corporate credit facility agreement in the amount of $50 million for general corporate purposes.  The Company had no borrowings under the credit facility either at or during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

In addition, the Company has other letters of credit with a total amount of $9 million, renewable annually for an indefinite period of time.

7.10 Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company's major contractual obligations at December 31, 2021:

	Payment due by period
	Less than		One to		Three to		More than
(in thousands)	one year		three years		five years		five years		Total
Aggregate reserves (1)	$	4,606,572	$	6,647,068	$	5,127,063	$	37,847,977	$	54,228,680
Related party long-term debt - principal (2)		—		—		527,500		1,550,225		2,077,725
Related party long-term debt - interest (3)		74,030		148,059		139,751		1,615,354		1,977,194
Investment purchase obligations (4)		1,165,936		1,545				5,000		1,172,481
Other liabilities (5)		69,783		49,025		3,803		8,284		130,895
Total	$	5,916,321	$	6,845,697	$	5,798,117	$	41,026,840	$	59,586,975

23

^(1),  Aggregate reserves, and policy and contract claims - The Company has estimated payments to be made to policy and contract holders for future policy benefits.  Insurance and investment contract liabilities include various investment-type products with contractually scheduled maturities, including periodic payments of a term certain nature. However, a significant portion of policy benefits and claims to be paid do not have stated contractual maturity dates and ultimately may not result in any payment obligation.

Estimated future policyholder obligations have been developed in accordance with industry accepted actuarial standards based upon the estimated timing of cash flows related to the policies or contracts, the Company's historical experience and its expectation of future payment patterns. Management has incorporated significant assumptions in developing these estimates, many of which are outside of the Company's control and include assumptions relating to mortality, morbidity, policy renewals and terminations, retirement, inflation, disability recovery rates, investment returns, future interest credited rate levels, policy loans, future premium receipts on current policies in-force, and other contingent events as may be appropriate to the respective product type. Due to the significance of the assumptions used, the amounts presented could materially differ from actual results.

The amounts presented in the table above are undiscounted as to interest. Accordingly, the sum of the estimated cash payment presented significantly exceeds the liability amount on the Company's Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus principally due to the time value of money.

Separate account liabilities have been excluded from the table above. Separate account obligations are legally insulated from general account assets.  Separate account liabilities represent funds maintained by the Company to meet the specific investment objectives of the contract holders who bear the related investment risk. It is generally expected that the separate account liabilities will be fully funded by the separate account assets.

⁽²⁾  Related party long-term debt principal - Represents contractual maturities of principal due to the Company's parent, GWL&A Financial, under the terms of four long-term surplus notes. The amounts shown in this table differ from the amounts included in the Company's Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus because the amounts shown above do not consider the discount upon the issuance of one of the surplus notes.

⁽³⁾  Related party long-term debt interest - Four long-term surplus notes bear interest at a fixed rate through maturity. The interest payments shown in this table are calculated based upon the contractual rates in effect on December 31, 2021, and do not consider the impact of future interest rate changes.

⁽⁴⁾  Investment purchase obligations - The Company makes commitments to fund partnership interests, mortgage loans, and other investments in the normal course of its business. As the timing of the fulfillment of the commitment to fund partnership interests cannot be predicted, such obligations are presented in the less than one year category. The timing of the funding of mortgage loans is based on the expiration date of the commitment.

⁽⁵⁾   Other liabilities - Other liabilities include those other liabilities which represent contractual obligations not included elsewhere in the table above.  If the timing of the payment of any other liabilities was sufficiently uncertain, the amounts were included in the less than one year category.  Other liabilities presented in the table above include:

· Expected contributions to the Company's supplemental executive retirement plan through 2023

· Unrecognized tax benefits

· Personal Capital contingent payment consideration

As part of the Personal Capital acquisition, the Company included contingent consideration based on the potential achievement of certain key metrics. An initial contingent consideration earn-out value of $20 million represented management's best estimate,

24

which could be up to $175 million based on the achievement of growth in assets under management metrics defined in the Merger Agreement, payable following measurements through December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

The contingent consideration provision was increased by $80 million in 2021 for a total contingent consideration provision of $100 million at December 31, 2021. The increases in 2021 were due to growth in net new assets above the amount assumed at the date of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration measured in accordance with the Merger Agreement subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation are recognized in operating and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of earnings. Based on current estimates, management anticipates paying $59 million in 2022 and $41 million in 2023 in contingent consideration.

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $30,243, $25,324 and $33,473 respectively.

From time to time, the Company enters into agreements or contracts, including capital leases, to purchase goods or services in the normal course of its business.  However, these agreements and contracts are not material and are excluded from the table above.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has established processes and procedures to effectively identify, monitor, measure, and manage the risks associated with its invested assets and its interest rate sensitive insurance and annuity products.  Management has identified investment portfolio management, including the use of derivative instruments, insurance and annuity product design, and asset/liability management as three critical means to accomplish a successful risk management program.

The major risks to which the Company is exposed include the following:

· Market risk - the potential of loss arising from adverse fluctuations in interest rates and equity market prices and the levels of their volatility.

· Insurance risk - the potential of loss resulting from claims, persistency, and expense experience exceeding that assumed in the liabilities held.

· Credit risk - the potential of loss arising from an obligor’s failure to meet its obligations to the Company.

· Operational and corporate risk - the potential of direct or indirect loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from other external events.

Market risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate changes results from its significant holdings of floating rate debt, bonds, mortgage loans, and interest rate sensitive liabilities.  The bonds primarily consist of direct obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, direct obligations of U.S. states and their subdivisions, corporate debt securities, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.  All of these investments are exposed to changes in interest rates.  Interest rate sensitive product liabilities, primarily those liabilities associated with universal life insurance contracts and annuity contracts, have the same type of interest rate risk exposure as bonds and mortgage loans.

To reduce interest rate risk, the Company performs periodic projections of asset and liability cash flows in order to evaluate the interest rate sensitivity of its bonds and its product liabilities to interest rate movements.  For determinate liabilities, i.e. liabilities with stable, predictable cash flows on products that can’t be repriced (for example, certificate annuities and payout annuities), asset/liability cash flow mismatches are monitored and the asset portfolios are rebalanced as necessary to keep the mismatches within tolerance limits.  For these determinate liabilities, the investment policy predominantly requires assets with stable, predictable cash flows so that changes in interest rates will not cause changes in the timing of asset cash flows resulting in mismatches.  For indeterminate liabilities, i.e. liabilities that have less predictable cash flows but that can be repriced (for example, portfolio annuities), the potential mismatch of assets and liabilities is tested under a wide variety of interest rate scenarios.  The potential cost of this mismatch is calculated.  If the potential cost is considered to be too high, actions considered would include rebalancing the asset portfolio and/or purchasing derivatives that reduce the risk as part of the hedging strategy program discussed below.  For each major block of indeterminate liabilities, the asset and liability positions are reviewed in senior management meetings to proactively recommend changes in the current investment strategy and/or a rebalance of the asset portfolio.

The Company has strict operating policies which prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes, permit derivative transactions only with approved counterparties, specify limits on concentration of risk, and provide requirements of reporting and monitoring systems. The Company supports a hedging strategy program that consists of the use of various derivative instruments including futures, interest rate swaps, and options such as interest rate swaptions.  Derivative strategies include the following:

· Futures are commitments to either purchase or sell designated financial instruments at a future date for a specified price.

· Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of cash flows with third parties at specified intervals calculated using agreed upon rates or other financial variables.

26

· Option contracts grant the purchaser, in consideration for the payment of a premium, the right to either purchase from or sell to the issuer a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified time period or on a stated date. Interest rate swaptions grant the purchaser the right to enter into a swap with predetermined fixed-rate payments over a predetermined time period on the exercise date.

The Company has estimated the possible effects of interest rate changes at December 31, 2021.  If interest rates increased by 100 basis points (1.00%), the December 31, 2021 fair value of the fixed income assets in the general account would decrease by approximately $2.5 billion. If interest rates decreased by 100 basis points (1.00%), the December 31, 2021 fair value of the fixed income assets in the general account would increase by approximately $2.8 billion. These calculations use projected asset cash flows, discounted back to December 31, 2021.  The cash flow projections are shown in the table below.  The table below shows cash flows rather than expected maturity dates because many of the Company’s assets have substantial expected principal payments prior to the final maturity date.  The fair value shown in the table below was calculated using spot discount interest rates that varied by the year in which the cash flows are expected to be received.  The spot rates in the benchmark calculation range from 0.390% to 3.042%.

Projected cash flows by calendar years (In millions)	Benchmark		Interest rate increase one percent		Interest rate decrease one percent
2022	$	3,026	$	3,014	$	3,076
2023		3,688		3,672		3,755
2024		3,836		3,815		3,895
2025		4,082		4,083		4,063
2026		4,298		4,292		4,304
Thereafter		28,636		28,870		28,346
Undiscounted total	$	47,566	$	47,746	$	47,439
Fair value	$	40,193	$	37,739	$	42,965

The Company administers separate account variable annuities and provides other investment and retirement services where fee income is earned based upon a percentage of account balances.  Fluctuations in fund asset levels occur as a result of both changes in cash flow and general market conditions.  There is a market risk of lower fee income if equity markets decline.  If equity markets were to decline by 10% from benchmark levels at December 31, 2021, the Company’s associated net fee income after payment of subadvisor fees in 2021 would decline by approximately $16 million.

The Company’s surplus assets include equity investments, primarily partnership interests.  There is a market risk of lower asset values if equity markets decline.  If equity markets were to decline by 10%, the Company would have an additional unrealized loss of approximately $12.4 million on equity investments.  This unrealized loss would not impact statutory net income but would reduce capital and surplus.

The Company has sold variable annuities with various forms of GMDB and GLWB. The Company is required to hold future policy benefit liabilities for these guaranteed benefits.  If equity markets were to decline by 10%, the liability for GMDB and GLWB would increase by approximately $0.53 million. The Company’s assets backing the dynamic hedging program for the GLWB product would be expected to increase $1.4 million.  Therefore the net impact to variable annuities with various forms of guarantees for a 10% decline in the equity markets is estimated to be $0.9 million decrease.

Insurance risk

The Company manages the risks associated with its insurance and other contractual liabilities through the use of actuarial modeling techniques.  These techniques utilize significant assumptions including morbidity, mortality, persistency, expenses, and the cash flow stream of benefit payments.  Through these techniques, the Company attempts to match the anticipated cash flow streams of its invested assets with the anticipated cash flow streams of its insurance and other contractual obligations.  The cash

27

flows associated with determinate policy liabilities are not interest rate sensitive but will vary based upon the timing and amount of benefit payments.  The primary risks associated with these liabilities are that the benefits will exceed those anticipated in the actuarial modeling or that the actual timing of the payment of benefits will differ from what was anticipated.

The Company utilizes reinsurance programs to control its exposure to general insurance risks.  Reinsurance agreements do not relieve the Company from its direct obligations to its insured.  However, an effective reinsurance program limits the Company’s exposure to potentially large losses.  The failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company.  To manage this risk, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk relative to the reinsurers in order to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk the Company assumes if its debtors, customers, reinsurers, or other counterparties and intermediaries may fail to pay their contractual obligations when they come due and may manifest itself through the downgrading of credit ratings of counterparties.  It is the Company’s policy to acquire only investment grade assets to enable it to provide for future policy obligations and to minimize undue concentrations of assets in any single geographic area, industry, or entity.  To minimize this risk, management regularly reviews the credit ratings of the entities in which the Company invests.  These credit ratings are internally derived by the Company, taking into consideration ratings from several external credit rating agencies.

Operational and corporate risk

The Company manages and mitigates internal operational risk through integrated and complementary policies, procedures, processes, and practices.  Human Resources hiring practices, performance evaluations and promotion, and compensation practices are designed to attract, retain and develop the skilled personnel required.  A comprehensive job evaluation process is in place and training and development programs are supported.  Each business area provides training designed for its specific needs and has developed internal controls for significant processes.  Processes and controls are monitored and redefined by the business areas and subject to review by the Company’s internal audit staff.  The Company applies a robust project management discipline to all significant initiatives.

Appropriate security measures protect premises and information.  The Company has emergency procedures in place for short-term incidents and is committed to maintaining business continuity and disaster recovery plans at every business location for the recovery of critical functions in the event of a disaster, including offsite data backup and work facilities.  The Company maintains various corporate insurance coverages such as property, general liability, excess liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, financial institution bonds, other regulatory bonds, and professional liability insurance to protect its owned property assets and to insure against certain third-party liabilities.

The Company’s businesses are subject to various regulatory requirements imposed by regulation or legislation applicable to insurance companies and companies providing financial services.  These regulations are primarily intended to protect policyholders and beneficiaries.  Material changes in the regulatory framework or the failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  The Company monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions in which it conducts business and assesses trends in legal and regulatory change to keep business areas current and responsive.

In the course of its business activities, the Company may be exposed to the risk that some actions may lead to damaging its reputation and hence damage its future business prospects.  These actions may include unauthorized activities of employees or others associated with the Company, inadvertent actions of the Company that become publicized and damage its reputation, regular or past business activities of the Company that become the subject of regulatory or media scrutiny or litigation and, due to a change of public perception, cause damage to the Company.  To manage or mitigate this risk, the Company has ongoing controls to limit the unauthorized activities of people associated with it.  The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which sets out the standards of business conduct to be followed by all of its directors, officers, and employees.

Opinions

We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Company”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial Inc.), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements (collectively referred to as the “statutory-basis financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance described in Note 1.

Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report the statutory-basis financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years then ended.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

As described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the Colorado Division of Insurance. The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory-basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

30

Emphasis of Matter

The Company engages in various related-party transactions with affiliates under common control as discussed in Note 3 to the statutory-basis financial statements. The accompanying statutory-basis financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations that would prevail if the Company had been operated as an unaffiliated company. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory-basis financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the statutory-basis financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory-basis financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory-basis financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

· Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements.

· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements.

· Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Other Information Included in the Annual Report

Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the statutory-basis financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the statutory-basis financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audits of the statutory-basis financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the statutory-basis financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Report on Supplemental Schedules

Our 2021 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of investment risk interrogatories, the supplemental summary investment schedule, the supplemental schedule of selected financial data, and the supplemental schedule of reinsurance contracts with risk-limiting features as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements or to the statutory-basis financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole.

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements 

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Company” or “GWL&A”) is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial Inc. (“GWL&A Financial”), a holding company. GWL&A Financial is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco U.S. LLC (“Lifeco U.S.”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc. (“Lifeco”), a Canadian holding company. The Company offers a wide range of retirement and investment products to individuals, businesses and other private and public organizations throughout the United States. The Company is an insurance company domiciled in the State of Colorado and is subject to regulation by the Colorado Division of Insurance (“Division”).

The Company is authorized to engage in the sale of life insurance, accident and health insurance and annuities. It is qualified to do business in all states in the United States, except New York, and in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company is also a licensed reinsurer in New York.

Effective December 31, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition, via indemnity reinsurance (“the MassMutual transaction”), of the retirement services business of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"). The Company has now assumed the economics and risks associated with the reinsurance business. Per the transaction agreement, the Company acquired statutory assets equal to liabilities. The business assumed is primarily group annuities. See Note 9 for further discussion of the MassMutual transaction.

Effective June 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale, via indemnity reinsurance (the "Protective transaction"), of substantially all of its individual life insurance and annuity business to Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective") who now assumes the economics and risks associated with the reinsured business. Per the transaction agreement, the Company transferred statutory assets equal to liabilities. The business transferred included bank-owned and corporate-owned life insurance, single premium life insurance, individual annuities as well as closed block life insurance and annuities. The Company retained a block of life insurance, predominantly participating policies which are now administered by Protective, as well as a closed reinsurance acquired block. Post-transaction, the Company focuses on the defined contribution retirement and asset management markets. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Protective transaction.

The statutory financial statements have been prepared from the separate records maintained by the Company and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Company had been operated as an unaffiliated company.

Accounting policies and use of estimates

The Company prepares its statutory financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division. The Division requires that insurance companies domiciled in the State of Colorado prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”), subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado Insurance Commissioner.

The only prescribed deviation that impacts the Company allows the Company to account for certain separate account products at book value instead of fair value. The Division has not permitted the Company to adopt any accounting practices that have an impact on the Company’s statutory financial statements as compared to NAIC SAP or the Division’s prescribed accounting practices. There is no impact to either capital and surplus or net income as a result of the prescribed accounting practice.

39

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements 

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Statutory accounting principles vary in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The more significant of these differences are as follows:

· Bonds, including loan-backed and structured securities (collectively referred to as "bonds"), are carried at statutory adjusted carrying value in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") designation of the security. Carrying value is amortized cost, unless the bond is either (a) designated as a six, in which case it is the lower of amortized cost or fair value or (b) required to be carried at fair value due to the structured securities ratings methodology, or (c) for perpetual bonds that do not possess an effective call option, is carried at fair value regardless of NAIC designation. Under GAAP, bonds are carried at amortized cost for securities classified as held-to-maturity and fair value for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-for-trading.

· Redeemable preferred stocks are carried at statutory carrying value in accordance with the NAIC designation of the security. Carrying value is amortized cost, unless the redeemable preferred stock is designated a four to six, in which case it is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Under GAAP, redeemable preferred stocks are carried at amortized cost for securities classified as held-to-maturity and fair value for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-for-trading.

· Short-term investments include all investments whose remaining maturities, at the time of acquisition, are three months to one year. Under GAAP, short-term investments include securities purchased with investment intent and with remaining maturities, at the time of acquisition, of one year or less.

· As prescribed by the NAIC, the asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is computed in accordance with a prescribed formula and represents a provision for possible non-interest related fluctuations in the value of bonds, equity securities, mortgage loans, real estate and other invested assets. Changes to the AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. This type of reserve is not necessary or required under GAAP.

· As prescribed by the NAIC, the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) consists of net accumulated unamortized realized capital gains and losses, net of income taxes, on sales or interest related impairments of bonds and derivative investments attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates. Such gains or losses are initially deferred and then amortized into income over the remaining period to maturity, based on groupings of individual securities sold in five-year bands. An IMR asset is generally designated as a non-admitted asset and is recorded as a reduction to capital and surplus. Under GAAP, realized gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which a security is sold.

· As prescribed by the NAIC, an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is recorded (a) if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms in effect at the date of acquisition, (b) if the Company has the intent to sell the investment or (c) for non-interest related declines in value and where the Company does not have the intent and ability at the reporting date, to hold the bond until its recovery. Under GAAP, if either (a) management has the intent to sell a bond investment or (b) it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell a bond investment before its anticipated recovery, a charge is recorded in net realized investment losses equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the bond investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the bond investment prior to impairment) is less than the amortized cost basis of the bond investment (referred to as the credit loss portion), an OTTI is considered to have occurred.

Under GAAP, total OTTI is bifurcated into two components: the amount related to the credit loss, which is recognized in current period earnings through realized capital losses; and the amount attributed to other factors (referred to as the non-credit portion), which is recognized as a separate component in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As prescribed by the NAIC, non-interest related OTTI is only bifurcated on loan-backed and structured securities. Factors related

40

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements 

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

to interest and other components do not have a financial statement impact and are disclosed in “Unrealized losses and OTTI” in the notes to the statutory financial statements.

· Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are carried at the same valuation method as the underlying hedged asset, while derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are carried at fair value. Under GAAP, all derivatives, regardless of hedge accounting treatment, are recorded on the balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities at fair value. As prescribed by the NAIC, for those derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting, the change in the carrying value or cash flow of the derivative is recorded consistently with how the changes in the carrying value or cash flow of the hedged asset, liability, firm commitment or forecasted transaction are recorded. Under GAAP, if the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are recognized in the income statements when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value resulting from foreign currency translations are recorded in either AOCI or net investment income, consistent with where they are recorded on the underlying hedged asset or liability. Changes in the fair value, including changes resulting from foreign currency translations, of derivatives not eligible for hedge accounting or where hedge accounting is not elected and the over effective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized in investment gains (losses) as a component of net income in the period of the change. Realized foreign currency transactional gains and losses on derivatives subject to hedge accounting are recorded in net investment income, whereas those on derivatives not subject to hedge accounting are recorded in investment gains (losses). As prescribed by the NAIC, upon termination of a derivative that qualifies for hedge accounting, the gain or loss is recognized in income in a manner that is consistent with the hedged item. Alternatively, if the item being hedged is subject to IMR, the gain or loss on the hedging derivative is realized and is subject to IMR upon termination. Under GAAP, gains or losses on terminated contracts that are effective hedges are recorded in earnings in net investment income or other comprehensive income. The gains or losses on terminated contracts where hedge accounting is not elected, or contracts that are not eligible for hedge accounting, are recorded in investment gains (losses).

· The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements with third party broker-dealers. The Company does not enter into these types of transactions for liquidity purposes, but rather for yield enhancement on its investment portfolio. The dollar repurchase trading strategy involves the sale of securities, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. If the assets to be repurchased are the same, or substantially the same, as the assets transferred, the transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings. Transactions that do not meet the secured borrowing requirements are accounted for as bond purchases and sales. Under GAAP, these transactions are recorded as forward settling to be announced (“TBA”) securities that are accounted for as derivative instruments, but hedge accounting is not elected as the Company does not regularly accept delivery of such securities when issued.

· Acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs incurred in connection with acquiring new business, are charged to operations as incurred, rather than deferred and amortized over the lives of the related contracts as under GAAP.

· Deferred income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in either the Company’s statutory financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets are subject to limitations prescribed by statutory accounting principles. The change in deferred income taxes is treated as a component of the change in unassigned deficit, whereas under GAAP deferred taxes are included in the determination of net income.

· Certain assets, including various receivables, furniture and equipment and prepaid assets, are designated as non-admitted assets and are recorded as a reduction to capital and surplus, whereas they are recorded as assets under GAAP.

· For statutory accounting, business combinations must either create a parent-subsidiary relationship (statutory purchase) or there must be an exchange of equity with one surviving entity (statutory merger). Under GAAP, an integrated set of activities and assets that are capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing economic benefits to its investors

can meet the definition of a business. As such, under GAAP, certain reinsurance agreements could be accounted for as a business acquisition.

· For statutory purchases, the excess of the cost of acquiring an entity over the Company’s share of the book value of the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill which is admissible subject to limitations and is amortized over the period in which the Company benefits economically, not to exceed ten years. For statutory mergers, no acquisition is recognized because it is accomplished without exchanging resources. As such, the recorded assets, liabilities, and surplus of the acquired company (adjusted to conform to statutory accounting principles) will be carried forward into the combined company. Under GAAP in a business combination, the excess of the cost of acquiring an entity over the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated between goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives under GAAP.

· Aggregate reserves for life policies and contracts are based on statutory mortality and interest requirements and without consideration of withdrawals, which differ from reserves established under GAAP that are based on assumptions using Company experience for mortality, interest, and withdrawals.

· Surplus notes are reflected as a component of capital and surplus, whereas under GAAP they are reflected as a liability.

· The policyholder’s share of net income on participating policies that has not been distributed to participating policyholders is included in capital and surplus in the statutory financial statements. For GAAP, these amounts are reported as a liability with a charge to net income.

· Changes in separate account values from cash transactions are recorded as premium income and benefit expenses whereas they do not impact the statement of operations under GAAP and are presented only as increases or decreases to account balances.

· Benefit payments and the related decrease in policy reserves are recorded as expenses for all contracts subjecting the Company to any mortality risk. Under GAAP, such benefit payments for life and annuity contracts without significant mortality risks are recorded as direct reductions to the policy reserve liability.

· Premium receipts and the related increase in policy reserves are recorded as revenues and expenses, respectively, for all contracts subjecting the Company to any mortality risk. Under GAAP, such premium receipts for life and annuity contracts without significant mortality risks are recorded as direct credits to the policy reserve liability.

· Comprehensive income and its components are not presented in the statutory financial statements.

· The Statutory Statement of Cash Flows is presented based on a prescribed format for statutory reporting. For purposes of presenting statutory cash flows, cash includes short-term investments. Under GAAP, the statement of cash flows is typically presented based on the indirect method and cash excludes short-term investments.

· For statutory accounting purposes, policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers are reported as reductions of the related reserves. Losses generated in certain reinsurance transaction are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus and amortized over the remaining life of the business. As prescribed by the Department, ceded reserves are limited to the amount of direct reserves. Under GAAP, ceded future policy benefits and contract owner liabilities are reported as reinsurance recoverables. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the balance sheet and are stated net of allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, which are charged to earnings. Cost of reinsurance (i.e. the net cash flows which include reinsurance premiums, ceding commissions, etc.) are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the business.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the reported amounts of admitted assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates are required to account for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the valuation of investments and derivatives in the absence of quoted market values, impairment of investments and derivatives, valuation of policy benefit liabilities and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, additional information became available related to the acquisition of MassMutual on December 31, 2020. In accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors the Company has recorded a change in estimate to reclassify $1,145.1 million of acquired contracts from Reserve for life insurance and annuities to Liability for deposit-type contracts during 2021. This change in estimate had no impact on total admitted assets, total liabilities, capital and surplus, or net income.

Impact of COVID-19 on significant judgments, estimates and assumptions

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in continued economic pressures. While rising vaccination rates have led governments in different regions to ease restrictions put in place, many factors continue to extend economic uncertainty, including but not limited to: the availability, adoption and uncertainty around the effectiveness of vaccines; the emergence of COVID-19 variants; and the extent and timing of related government and central bank actions. The Company has developed flexible strategies to manage the current environment and leverage opportunities for the future. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be unknown at this time. The results of the Company reflect management's judgments regarding the impact of prevailing market conditions.

Significant statutory accounting policies

Investments

Investments are reported as follows:

· In accordance with the NAIC SAP, the adjusted carrying value amounts of certain assets are gross of non-admitted assets.

· Bonds are carried at statutory adjusted carrying value in accordance with the NAIC designation of the security. Carrying value is amortized cost, unless the bond is either (a) designated as a six, in which case it is the lower of amortized cost or fair value or (b) required to be carried at fair value due to the structured securities ratings methodology, or (c) for perpetual bonds that do not possess or no longer possess an effective call option, is carried at fair value regardless of NAIC designation. The Company recognizes the acquisition of its public bonds on a trade date basis and its private placement investments on a funding date basis. Bonds containing call provisions, except make-whole call provisions, are amortized to the call or maturity value/date which produces the lowest asset value. Make-whole call provisions, which allow the bond to be called at any time, are not considered in determining the timeframe for amortizing the premium or discount unless the Company has information indicating the issuer is expected to invoke the make-whole call provision.

· Premiums and discounts are recognized as a component of net investment income using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses not subject to IMR, including those from foreign currency translations, are included in net realized capital gains (losses).

· The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. loan-backed securities, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) is dependent upon market conditions, which may result in prepayments and changes in amounts to be earned. Prepayments on all mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are monitored monthly, and amortization of the premium and/or the accretion of the discount associated with the purchase of such securities are adjusted by such prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are based on the average of recent historical prepayments and are obtained from broker/dealer survey values or internal estimates. These assumptions are consistent with the current interest rate and economic environment. Significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions are accounted for using the retrospective method.

· Mortgage loans consist primarily of domestic commercial collateralized loans and are carried at their unpaid principal balances adjusted for any unamortized premiums or discounts, allowances for credit losses, and foreign currency translations. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance for all loans, except for loans on non-accrual status. Premiums and discounts are amortized to net investment income using the effective interest method. Prepayment penalty and origination fees are recognized in net investment income upon receipt.

The Company actively manages its mortgage loan portfolio by completing ongoing comprehensive analysis of factors such as debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios, payment status, default or legal status, annual collateral property evaluations and general market conditions. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the above primary credit quality indicators in its internal risk assessment of loan impairment and credit loss. Management’s risk assessment process is subjective and includes the categorization of all loans, based on the above mentioned credit quality indicators, into one of the following categories:

· Performing - generally indicates the loan has standard market risk and is within its original underwriting guidelines.

· Non-performing - generally indicates there is a potential for loss due to the deterioration of financial/monetary default indicators or potential foreclosure. Due to the potential for loss, these loans are evaluated for impairment.

The adequacy of the Company’s allowance for credit loss is reviewed quarterly. The determination of the calculation and the adequacy of the mortgage allowance for credit loss and mortgage impairments involve judgments that incorporate qualitative and quantitative Company and industry mortgage performance data. Management’s periodic evaluation and assessment of the adequacy of the mortgage allowance for credit loss and the need for mortgage impairments is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the fair value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, loss experience and other relevant factors. Loans included in the non-performing category and other loans with certain substandard credit quality indicators are individually reviewed to determine if a specific impairment is required. Risk is mitigated primarily through first position collateralization, guarantees, loan covenants and borrower reporting requirements. Since the Company does not originate or hold uncollateralized mortgages, loans are generally not deemed fully uncollectible. Generally, unrecoverable amounts are written off during the final stage of the foreclosure process.

Loan balances are considered past due when payment has not been received based on contractually agreed upon terms. The accrual of interest is discontinued when concerns exist regarding the realization of loan principal or interest. The Company resumes interest accrual on loans when a loan returns to current status or under new terms when loans are restructured or modified.

On a quarterly basis, any loans with terms that were modified during that period are reviewed to determine if the loan modifications constitute a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). In evaluating whether a loan modification constitutes a TDR, it must be determined that the modification is a significant concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.

Additionally, the Company considers the temporary relief granted by the Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group (“SAPWG”) in response to the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The relief gives temporary statutory exception for impairment assessment on bank loans, mortgage loans and investment products with underlying mortgage loans due to situations as a result of COVID-19 including the forbearance or modification of mortgage loan payments. SAPWG also granted practical expedients in determining whether a modification is a concession (insignificant) or if it is a TDR. The provisions of these guidance are applicable through the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID–19 terminates.

· Real estate properties held for the production of income are valued at depreciated cost less encumbrances. Real estate is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the building or term of the lease for tenant improvements.

· Real estate properties occupied by the Company are carried at depreciated cost unless the carrying amount of the asset is deemed to be unrecoverable. The Company includes in both net investment income and other operating expenses an amount for rent relating to real estate properties occupied by the Company. Rent is derived from consideration of the repairs, expenses, taxes, interest and depreciation incurred. The reasonableness of the amount of rent recorded is verified by comparison to rent received from other like properties in the same area.

· Limited partnership interests are included in other invested assets and are accounted for using net asset value per share ("NAV") as a practical expedient to fair value. The Company uses NAV as a practical expedient on partnership interests in investment companies where it has a minor equity interest and no significant influence over the entity’s operations.

· Redeemable preferred stocks are carried at statutory carrying value in accordance with the NAIC designation of the security. Carrying value is amortized cost, unless the redeemable preferred stock is designated a four to six, in which case it is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

· Common stocks, other than stocks of subsidiaries and stocks of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), are recorded at fair value based on the most recent closing price of the common stock as quoted on its exchange. Common stocks of the FHLB are reported at cost. Related party mutual funds, which are carried at fair value, are also included in common stocks. The net unrealized gain or loss on common stocks is reported as a component of surplus.

· Investments in domestic life subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries are carried at their statutory equity value with unrealized changes in value recorded directly in surplus. Investments in majority owned subsidiaries are generally carried at their Statutory or US GAAP equity with dividends received being recorded in investment income.

· Contract loans are carried at their unpaid balance. Contract loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance policy.

· Short-term investments include all investments whose remaining maturities, at the time of acquisition, are three months to one year. Cash equivalent investments include all investments whose remaining maturities, at the time of acquisition, are three months or less. Both short-term and cash equivalent investments, excluding money market mutual funds, are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalent investments also include highly liquid money market funds that are traded in an active market and are carried at fair value.

· The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements with third party broker-dealers for the purpose of enhancing the total return on its investment portfolio. The repurchase trading strategy involves the purchase of securities, with a simultaneous agreement to resell similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Securities purchased under these agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings, and are reported at amortized cost in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

45

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Under these tri-party repurchase agreements, the designated custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral on the Company’s behalf, which is required to be cash or government securities. The fair value of the securities is monitored and additional collateral is obtained, where appropriate, to protect against credit exposure. The collateral cannot be sold or repledged and has not been recorded on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus.

The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements with third party broker-dealers. The Company does not enter into these types of transactions for liquidity purposes, but rather for yield enhancement on its investment portfolio. The dollar repurchase trading strategy involves the sale of securities, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. If the assets to be repurchased are the same, or substantially the same, as the assets transferred, the transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings. Transactions that do not meet the secured borrowing requirements are accounted for as bond purchases and sales. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to net investment income. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Company will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty enters bankruptcy proceedings or becomes insolvent. In such cases, the Company’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Amounts owed to brokers under these arrangements are included as a liability in repurchase agreements.

The Company participates in a securities lending program in which the Company lends securities that are held as part of its general account investment portfolio to third parties.  The Company does not enter into these types of transactions for liquidity purposes, but rather for yield enhancement on its investment portfolio.  The borrower can return and the Company can request the loaned securities be returned at any time.  The Company maintains ownership of the securities at all times and is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments for interest received on such securities during the loan term.  Securities lending transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings.  The securities on loan are included within bonds and short-term investments in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. The securities lending agent indemnifies the Company against borrower risk, meaning that the lending agent agrees contractually to replace securities not returned due to a borrower default.  The Company generally requires initial cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of foreign securities loaned.  Such collateral is used to replace the securities loaned in event of default by the borrower. Some cash collateral is reinvested in money market funds or short-term repurchase agreements which are also collateralized by U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency securities. Reinvested cash collateral is reported in securities lending reinvested collateral assets, with a corresponding liability in payable for securities lending collateral. Collateral that cannot be sold or repledged is excluded from the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus.

· Surplus notes, which are recorded in other invested assets, are carried at statutory carrying value in accordance with the NAIC designation of the security. Carrying value is amortized cost, unless the surplus note is designated a NAIC three to six, in which case it is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

· The Company’s OTTI accounting policy requires that a decline in the value of a bond below its cost or amortized cost basis be assessed to determine if the decline is other-than-temporary. An OTTI is recorded (a) if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms in effect at the date of acquisition, (b) if the Company has the intent to sell the investment or (c) for non-interest related declines in value and where the Company does not have the intent and ability at the reporting date, to hold the bond until its recovery. Management considers a wide range of factors, as described below, regarding the bond issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in its estimated fair value and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the bond are assumptions and estimates about the operations and ability to generate future cash flows. While all available information is taken into account, it is difficult to predict the ultimate recoverable amount from a distressed or impaired bond.

46

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements 

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Considerations used by the Company in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to, the following:

· The extent to which estimated fair value is below cost;

· Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific adverse conditions affecting a particular instrument, its issuer, an industry or geographic area;

· The length of time for which the estimated fair value has been below cost;

· Downgrade of a bond investment by a credit rating agency;

· Deterioration of the financial condition of the issuer;

· The payment structure of the bond investment and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments in the future; and

· Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.

For loan-backed and structured securities, if management does not intend to sell the bond and has the intent and ability to hold the bond until recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the bond prior to impairment) is less than the amortized cost basis of the bond (referred to as the non-interest loss portion), an OTTI is considered to have occurred. In this instance, total OTTI is bifurcated into two components: the amount related to the non-interest loss is recognized in current period earnings through realized capital gains (losses); and the amount attributed to other factors does not have any financial impact and is disclosed only in the notes to the statutory financial statements. The calculation of expected cash flows utilized during the impairment evaluation process are determined using judgment and the best information available to the Company including default rates, credit ratings, collateral characteristics and current levels of subordination.

For bonds not backed by other loans or assets, if management does not intend to sell the bond and has the intent and ability to hold but does not expect to recover the entire cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred. A charge is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the bond. After the recognition of an OTTI, the bond is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI, with an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in net income. The difference between the new amortized cost basis and the expected future cash flows is accreted into net investment income. The Company continues to estimate the present value of cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the bond.

Fair value

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three level hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company’s assets and liabilities have been categorized based upon the following fair value hierarchy:

· Level 1 inputs which are utilized for general and separate account assets and liabilities, utilize observable, quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Financial assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include certain mutual funds.

47

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements 

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

· Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs, which are utilized for general and separate account assets and liabilities, include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. The fair values for some Level 2 securities are obtained from pricing services. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed at least quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodology. For general and separate account assets and liabilities, inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Additional inputs utilized for assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 are:

◦ Derivative instruments - trading activity, swap curves, credit spreads, currency volatility, net present value of cash flows and news sources.

◦ Separate account assets and liabilities - various index data and news sources, amortized cost (which approximates fair value), trading activity, swap curves, credit spreads, recovery rates, restructuring, net present value of cash flows and quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

· Level 3 inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In general, the prices of Level 3 securities are obtained from single broker quotes and internal pricing models. If the broker’s inputs are largely unobservable, the valuation is classified as a Level 3. Broker quotes are validated through an internal analyst review process, which includes validation through known market conditions and other relevant data, as noted below. Internal models are usually cash flow based utilizing characteristics of the underlying collateral of the security such as default rate and other relevant data.

The fair value of certain investments in the separate accounts and limited partnerships are estimated using net asset value per share as a practical expedient and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy levels in Note 5. These net asset values are based on the fair value of the underlying investments, less liabilities.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Overall, transfers between levels are attributable to a change in the observability of inputs. Assets and liabilities are transferred to a lower level in the hierarchy when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This may occur when market activity decreases and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred to a higher level in the hierarchy when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity including recent trades, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.

In some instances, securities are priced using external broker quotes. In most cases, when broker quotes are used as pricing inputs, more than one broker quote is obtained. External broker quotes are reviewed internally by comparing the quotes to similar securities in the public market and/or to vendor pricing, if available. Additionally, external broker quotes are compared to market reported trade activity to ascertain whether the price is reasonable, reflective of the current market prices, and takes into account the characteristics of the Company’s securities.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into derivative transactions which include the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, cross-currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, U.S. government treasury futures contracts, Eurodollar futures contracts, futures on equity indices and interest rate swap futures. The Company uses these derivative instruments to manage various risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with its invested assets and liabilities. Derivative instruments are not used for speculative reasons. Certain of the Company’s over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are cleared and settled through a central clearing counterparty while others are bilateral contracts between the Company and a counterparty.

Derivatives are reported as other invested assets or other liabilities. Although some derivatives are executed under a master netting arrangement, the Company does not offset in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus the carrying value of those derivative instruments and the related cash collateral or net derivative receivables and payables executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are valued using the valuation method (either amortized cost or fair value) consistent with the underlying hedged asset or liability. At inception of a derivative transaction, the hedge relationship and risk management objective is documented and the designation of the derivative is determined based on specific criteria of the transaction. Derivatives where hedge accounting is either not elected, or that are not eligible for hedge accounting, are stated at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in unassigned surplus in the period of change. Investment gains and losses generally result from the termination of derivative contracts prior to expiration and are generally recognized in net income and may be subject to IMR.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes associated with certain invested assets and policy liabilities. Derivatives are used to (a) hedge the economic effects of interest rate and stock market movements on the Company’s guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit ("GLWB") liability, (b) hedge the economic effect of a large increase in interest rates on the Company’s general account life insurance, group pension liabilities and certain separate account life insurance liabilities, (c) hedge the economic risks of other transactions such as future asset acquisitions or dispositions, the timing of liability pricing, currency risks on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets, and (d) convert floating rate assets or debt obligations to fixed rate assets or debt obligations for asset/liability management purposes.

The Company controls the credit risk of its derivative contracts through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and in many cases, requiring collateral. The Company’s exposure is limited to the portion of the fair value of derivative instruments that exceeds the value of the collateral held and not to the notional or contractual amounts of the derivatives.

Derivatives in a net asset position may have cash or securities pledged as collateral to the Company in accordance with the collateral support agreements with the counterparty. This collateral is held in a custodial account for the benefit of the Company. Unrestricted cash collateral is included in other assets and the obligation to return it is included in other liabilities. The cash collateral is reinvested in a government money market fund. Securities pledged to the Company generally consist of U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities and are not recorded on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus.

Cash collateral pledged by the Company is included in other assets.

The Company may purchase a financial instrument that contains a derivative embedded in the financial instrument. Contracts that do not in their entirety meet the definition of a derivative instrument, may contain “embedded” derivative instruments implicit or explicit terms that affect some or all of the cash flows or the value of other exchanges required by the contract in a manner similar to a derivative instrument. An embedded derivative instrument shall not be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument.

Funds held or deposited with reinsured companies

Funds held by reinsurers are receivables from ceding entities. Interest earned on the funds withheld receivable are included as a component of miscellaneous income.

Goodwill

Goodwill, resulting from acquisitions of subsidiaries that are reported in common stock and other invested assets, is amortized to unrealized capital gains/(losses) over the period in which the Company benefits economically, not to exceed ten years. Goodwill resulting from assumption reinsurance is reported in goodwill and is amortized to other insurance expenses over the period in which the Company benefits economically, not to exceed ten years. Admissible goodwill is limited in the aggregate to 10% of the Company’s adjusted capital and surplus. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as impairment and recorded as a realized loss in the period in which the impairment is identified. There were no impairments of goodwill recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Life contract premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of the premium revenue and benefit expense. Life contract premiums and benefits assumed from other companies have been reported as an increase in premium revenue and benefit expense. Invested assets and reserves ceded or assumed on deposit type contracts are accounted for using deposit accounting. The Company establishes a receivable for amounts due from reinsurers for claims paid and other amounts recoverable under the terms of the reinsurance contract.

Cash value of company owned life insurance

The Company is the owner and beneficiary of life insurance policies which are included in Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus at their cash surrender values. At December 31, 2021, the investments underlying variable life insurance policies utilize various fund structures, with underlying investment characteristics of 25% equity, 41% fixed income, 27% cash and short terms, and 7% other. At December 31, 2020, the investments underlying variable life insurance policies utilize various fund structures, with underlying investment characteristics of 23% equity, 42% fixed income, and 32% cash and short terms, and 3% other.

Net investment income

Interest income from bonds is recognized when earned. Interest income on contract loans is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned. All investment income due and accrued with amounts that are deemed uncollectible or that are over 90 days past due, including mortgage loans in default (“in process of foreclosure”), is not included in investment income. Amounts over 90 days past due are non-admitted assets and are recorded as a reduction to unassigned surplus. Real estate due and accrued income is excluded from net investment income if its collection is uncertain.

Net realized capital gains (losses)

Realized capital gains and losses are reported as a component of net income and are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest-related gains and losses are primarily subject to IMR, while non-interest related gains and losses are primarily subject to AVR. Realized capital gains and losses also result from the termination of derivative contracts prior to expiration and may be subject to IMR.

Policy reserves

Life insurance and annuity policy reserves with life contingencies are computed on the basis of statutory mortality and interest requirements and without consideration for withdrawals. Annuity contract reserves without life contingencies are computed on the basis of statutory interest requirements.

Policy reserves for life insurance are valued in accordance with the provision of applicable statutory regulations. Life insurance reserves are determined principally using the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method, using the statutory mortality and interest requirements, without consideration for withdrawals. Some policies contain a surrender value in excess of the reserve as legally computed. This excess is calculated and recorded on a policy-by-policy basis.

Premium stabilization reserves are calculated for certain policies to reflect the Company’s estimate of experience refunds and interest accumulations on these policies. The reserves are invested by the Company. The income earned on these investments is accumulated in this reserve and is used to mitigate future premium rate increases for such policies.

The cost of reinsurance related to long-duration contracts is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Policy and contract claims include provisions for reported life and health claims in process of settlement, valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts, as well as provisions for claims incurred but not reported based primarily on prior experience of the Company. As such, amounts are estimates, and the ultimate liability may differ from the amount recorded. Any changes in estimates will be reflected in the results of operations when additional information becomes known.

The liabilities for health claim reserves are determined using historical run-out rates, expected loss ratios and statistical analysis. The Company provides for significant claim volatility in areas where experience has fluctuated. The liabilities represent estimates of the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims which are unpaid at year-end. Those estimates are subject to considerable variability in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations.

Liability reserves for variable annuities with guarantees and universal life without secondary guarantees are valued in accordance with Principle-Based Reserving ("PBR") methods, outlined in NAIC Valuation Manual Sections 20 and 21. PBR utilizes stochastic models to calculate levels of reserves to cover future benefits that would occur during possible poor future economic conditions. Reserve estimates are determined using both company experience and prescribed assumptions, with the final liability reserve being the greatest of the two estimates and floored at the aggregate surrender value.

Premium, fee income and expenses

Life insurance premiums are recognized when due. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Accident and health premiums are earned ratably over the terms of the related insurance and reinsurance contracts or policies. Life and accident and health insurance premiums received in advance are recorded as a liability and recognized as income when the premiums become earned. Fees from assets under management, assets under administration, shareholder servicing, mortality and expense risk charges, administration and record-keeping services and investment advisory services are recognized when earned in fee income or other income. Expenses incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business, including acquisition costs such as sales commissions, are charged to operations as incurred.

Income taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Lifeco U.S. The federal income tax expense reported in the Statutory Statements of Operations represent income taxes provided on income that is currently taxable, excluding tax on net realized capital gains and losses. A net deferred tax asset is included in the Statutory Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus which is recorded using the asset and liability method in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in either the Company’s statutory financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets are subject to limitations prescribed by statutory accounting principles. The change in deferred income taxes is treated as a component of the change in unassigned deficit.

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2020, SAPWG adopted a revised SSAP 32R, Preferred Stock, and a corresponding Issue Paper No. 164, Preferred Stock. The revised SSAP improves the definition of preferred stock, revises the measurement guidance based on the type and terms of preferred stock held, and clarifies the impairment and dividend recognition guidance. The standard was adopted with an effective date of January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In 2021, the Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted as final revisions to SSAP No. 26R, Bonds. The SSAP revisions clarify that perpetual bonds are within scope of SSAP No. 26R. Those with an effective call option shall be amortized under the yield-to-worst concept, and those that do not possess, or no longer possess, a call feature shall be reported at fair value. Additional revisions expand current called bond disclosures to include bonds terminated through a tender offer. The revisions were adopted with an effective date of January 1, 2021 with early adopted permitted. The adoption of these revisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Bonds - Total unrealized losses and OTTI increased by $379,946, or 761%, from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021. The increase in unrealized losses was across all asset classes and was primarily driven by lower valuations as a result of higher rates at December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. The acquisition of Statutory assets under the terms of the MassMutual transaction increased overall bond investments as well as the unrealized losses. See Note 1 and Note 9 for further discussion of the transaction.

Total unrealized losses greater than twelve months increased by $56,763 from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Industrial and miscellaneous account for 80%, or $67,357 of the unrealized losses and OTTI greater than twelve months at December 31, 2021. The majority of these bonds continue to be designated as investment grade. Management does not have the intent to sell these assets; therefore, an OTTI was not recognized in net income.

Loan-backed and structured securities account for 13%, or $11,061, of the unrealized losses and OTTI greater than twelve months at December 31, 2021. Of the $11,061 of unrealized losses and OTTI over twelve months on loan-backed and structured securities, 95% or $10,503 are on securities which continue to be designated as investment grade. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected is not less than amortized cost and management does not have the intent to sell these assets; therefore, an OTTI was not recognized in net income.

Loan-backed and structured securities

The Company had a concentration in loan-backed and structured securities of 18% and 16% of total invested assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative transactions are generally entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") Master Agreements with approved counterparties that provide for a single net payment to be made by one party to the other on a daily basis, periodic payment dates, or at the due date, expiration, or termination of the agreement.

The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions that would allow the counterparties to require immediate settlement of all derivative instruments in a net liability position if the Company were to default on any debt obligations over a certain threshold. The aggregate fair value, inclusive of accrued income and expense, of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $64,926 and $128,238 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had pledged collateral related to these derivatives of $10,309 and $7,181 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered on December 31, 2021 the fair value of assets that could be required to settle the derivatives in a net liability position was $54,617.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had pledged $10,309 and $7,181, respectively, of unrestricted cash collateral to counterparties in the normal course of business, while other counterparties had pledged $188,754 and $54,302 unrestricted cash and securities collateral to the Company to satisfy collateral netting arrangements, respectively.

Types of derivative instruments and derivative strategies

Interest rate contracts

Cash flow hedges

Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert the interest rate on certain debt securities and debt obligations from a floating rate to a fixed rate.

Not designated as hedging instruments

The Company enters into certain transactions in which derivatives are hedging an economic risk but hedge accounting is either not elected or the transactions are not eligible for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments include: exchange-traded interest rate swap futures, OTC interest rate swaptions, OTC interest rate swaps, exchange-traded Eurodollar interest rate futures and treasury interest rate futures. Certain of the Company’s OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through a central clearing counterparty while others are bilateral contracts between the Company and a counterparty.

The derivative instruments mentioned above are economic hedges and used to manage risk. These transactions are used to offset changes in liabilities including those in variable annuity products, hedge the economic effect of a large increase in interest rates, manage the potential variability in future interest payments due to a change in credited interest rates and the related change in cash flows due to increased surrenders, and manage interest rate risks of forecasted acquisitions of bonds and forecasted liability pricing.

Foreign currency contracts

Cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards are used to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with investments denominated in other than U.S. dollars. The Company uses cross-currency swaps to convert interest and principal payments on foreign denominated debt instruments into U.S. dollars. Cross-currency swaps may be designated as cash flow hedges; however, some are not eligible for hedge accounting. The Company uses foreign currency forwards to reduce the risk of foreign currency exchange rate changes on proceeds received on sales of foreign denominated debt instruments; however, hedge accounting is not elected.

Equity contracts

The Company uses futures on equity indices to offset changes in GLWB liabilities; however, they are not eligible for hedge accounting.

Bonds, preferred and common stock

The fair values for bonds, preferred and common stock are generally based upon evaluated prices from independent pricing services. In cases where these prices are not readily available, fair values are estimated by the Company. To determine estimated fair value for these instruments, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow models with market observable pricing inputs such as spreads, average life, and credit quality. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty.

Mortgage loans

Mortgage loan fair value estimates are generally based on discounted cash flows. A discount rate matrix is used where the discount rate valuing a specific mortgage generally corresponds to that mortgage’s remaining term and credit quality. Management believes the discount rate used is comparable to the credit, interest rate, term, servicing costs, and risks of loans similar to the portfolio loans that the Company would make today given its internal pricing strategy.

The estimated fair value for real estate is based on the unadjusted appraised value which includes factors such as comparable property sales, property income analysis, and capitalization rates.

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, collateral receivable and payable under securities lending agreements, receivable and payable for securities, and commercial paper

The amortized cost of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, collateral receivable and payable under securities lending agreements, receivable and payable for securities, and commercial paper is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature and the high credit quality of the issuers, counterparties and obligor. Cash equivalent investments also include money market funds that are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets.

Contract loans

Policy loans are an integral part of the life insurance policies that the company has in force and cannot be valued separately. Contract loans are funds provided to contract holders in return for a claim on the contract. The funds provided are limited to the cash surrender value of the underlying contract. The nature of contract loans is to have a negligible default risk as the loans are fully collateralized by the value of the contract. Contract loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances and accrued interest are repaid either by the contract holder or with proceeds from the contract.

Other long-term invested assets

The fair values of other long-term invested assets are based on the specific asset type. Other invested assets that are held as bonds, such as surplus notes, are primarily valued the same as bonds.

Limited partnership interests represent the Company’s minority ownership interests in pooled investment funds. These funds employ varying investment strategies that primarily make private equity investments across diverse industries and geographical focuses. The net asset value, determined using the partnership financial statement reported capital account adjusted for other relevant information, which may impact the exit value of the investments, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. Distributions by these investments are generated from investment gains, from operating income generated by the underlying investments of the funds and from liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds, which are estimated to be liquidated over the next one to 10 years. In the absence of permitted sales of its ownership interest, the Company will be redeemed out of the partnership interests through distributions.

Collateral under derivative counterparty collateral agreements and other collateral

Included in other assets is cash collateral received from or pledged to counterparties and included in other liabilities is the obligation to return the cash collateral to the counterparties. The carrying value of the collateral is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Derivative instruments

The estimated fair values of OTC derivatives, primarily consisting of cross-currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, interest rate swaps and interest rate swaptions, are the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the end of each reporting period, taking into consideration current interest rates and other relevant factors.

Separate account assets and liabilities

Separate account assets and liabilities primarily include investments in mutual funds, unregistered funds, most of which are not subject to redemption restrictions, bonds, and short-term securities.  Mutual funds and unregistered funds are recorded at net asset value, which approximates fair value, on a daily basis. The bond and short-term investments are valued in the same manner, and using the same pricing sources and inputs as the bond and short-term investments of the Company.

Deposit-type contracts

Fair values for liabilities under deposit-type insurance contracts are estimated using discounted liability calculations, adjusted to approximate the effect of current market interest rates for the assets supporting the liabilities

9. Reinsurance

In the normal course of its business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks to other insurance enterprises under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. The Company retains an initial maximum of $3,500 of coverage per individual life. This initial retention limit of $3,500 may increase due to automatic policy increases in coverage at a maximum rate of $175 per annum, with an overall maximum increase in coverage of $1,000. Effective June 1, 2019, all risks on non-participating policies within the above retention limits were ceded to Protective.

Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Additionally, Protective, which represents the Company's most significant ceded reinsurance relationship, is an authorized reinsurer and the Protective transaction is secured by assets held in a trust.

The Company assumes risk from approximately 40 insurers and reinsurers by participating in yearly renewable term and coinsurance pool agreements. When assuming risk, the Company seeks to generate revenue while maintaining reciprocal working relationships with these partners as they also seek to limit their exposure to loss on any single life.

Maximum capacity to be retained by the Company is dictated at the treaty level and is monitored annually to ensure the total risk retained on any one life is limited to a maximum retention of $4,500.

The Company did not have any write-offs for uncollectible reinsurance receivables during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for losses incurred, loss adjustment expenses incurred or premiums earned.

The Company does not have any uncollectible reinsurance, commutation of ceded reinsurance, or certified reinsurer downgraded of status subject to revocation.

On December 31, 2020 the Company completed the acquisition, via indemnity reinsurance, of the retirement services business of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. The MassMutual transaction impacted the following financial statement lines, excluding the non-admitted deferred tax asset:

The Company and an affiliate have engaged in a modified coinsurance (“Modco”) reinsurance agreement since 2018. The affiliate, Canada Life International Reinsurance Corporation Limited, novated the contract to Canada Life International Reinsurance (Barbados) Corporation (“CLIRBC”) and upon transfer, on December 31, 2020, increased the ceding percentage for this block of group annuity insurance policies from 40% to 90%. The Company has ceded modified coinsurance reserves of $11,144,992 and $11,884,164 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The reinsurance agreement is unlimited in duration. However, the Company may recapture the ceded reinsurance policies at any time by sending notice to the reinsurer at least 90 days prior to the

intended termination date. CLIRBC may only terminate the agreement if the Company is in material breach of the contract or fails to make contractual payments.

The Company and an affiliate have engaged in a modified coinsurance (“Modco”) reinsurance agreement since 2011. The affiliate, Canada Life International Reinsurance Corporation Limited, novated the contract to Canada Life International Reinsurance (Barbados) Corporation (“CLIRBC”). Per the terms of the agreement, the Company cedes 90% of its closed in-force block of participating life insurance policies. The Company has ceded modified coinsurance reserves of $5,865,988 and $6,030,358 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The reinsurance agreement is unlimited in duration. However, the Company may recapture the ceded reinsurance policies at any time by sending notice to the reinsurer at least 90 days prior to the intended termination date. CLIRBC may only terminate the agreement if the Company is in material breach of the contract or fails to make contractual payments.

10. Aggregate Reserves

Aggregate reserves are computed in accordance with the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“CARVM”) and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method (“CRVM”), the standard statutory reserving methodologies.

The significant assumptions used to determine the liability for future life insurance benefits are as follows:

Interest	- Life Insurance	2.25% to 6.00%
	- Annuity Funds	1% to 11.25%
	- Disability	2.50% to 6.00%
Mortality	- Life Insurance	Various valuation tables, primarily including 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary ("CSO") tables, and American Experience
	- Annuity Funds	Various annuity valuation tables, primarily including the GA 1951, 71, 83a and 2012 Individual Annuitant Mortality ("IAM"), Group Annuity Reserve ("GAR") 94, 1971 and 1983 Group Annuity Mortality ("GAM"), Annuity 2000, Group Annuity Reserving table ("1994-GAR"), and 2012 Individual Annuity Reserving table ("2012 IAR").
Morbidity	- Disability	1970 Intercompany DISA Group Disability Tables

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. When surrender values exceed aggregate reserves, excess cash value reserves are held.

Policies issued at premium corresponding to ages higher than the true ages are valued at the rated-up ages. Policies providing for payment at death during certain periods of an amount less than the full amount of insurance, being policies subject to liens, are valued as if the full amount is payable without any deduction.

For policies issued with, or subsequently subject to, an extra premium payable annually, an extra reserve is held. The extra premium reserve is the unearned gross extra premium payable during the year if the policies are rated for reasons other than medical impairments. For medical impairments, the extra premium reserve is calculated as the excess of the reserve based on rated mortality over that based on standard mortality. All substandard annuities are valued at their true ages.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $2,635,152 and $3,766,969, respectively of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation set by the Division.

Tabular interest, tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies and tabular cost have been determined from the basic data for the calculation of aggregate reserves. Tabular less actual reserves released has been determined from basic data for the calculation of aggregate reserves and the actual reserves released.

12. Separate Accounts

The Company utilizes separate accounts to record and account for assets and liabilities for particular lines of business and/or transactions. The Company reported assets and liabilities from the following product lines into a separate account:

· Individual Annuity Product

· Group Annuity Product

· Variable Life Insurance Product

· Hybrid Ordinary Life Insurance Product

· Individual Indexed-Linked Annuity Product

In accordance with the domiciliary state procedures for approving items within the separate account, the separate account classification of the following items are supported by Colorado Insurance Code Section 10-7-402:

· Individual Annuity

· Group Annuity

· Variable Life Insurance Product

The following items are supported by direct approval by the Commissioner:

· Hybrid Ordinary Life Insurance Product

· Group Annuity - Custom Stable Value Asset Funds

· Variable Life Insurance Product

· Individual Indexed-Linked Annuity Product

The Company’s separate accounts invest in shares of Great-West Funds, Inc. and Putnam Funds, open-end management investment companies, which are affiliates of the Company, and shares of other non-affiliated mutual funds and government and corporate bonds.

Some assets within each of the Company’s separate accounts are considered legally insulated whereas others are not legally insulated from the general account. The legal insulation of the separate accounts prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s separate account assets that are legally insulated from the general account claims are $29,230,733 and $28,447,693.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, $12,173,077 and $11,612,824, respectively, of separate account reserves were ceded under modified coinsurance to Protective. While the Company holds the respective asset and liability under the modified coinsurance agreement, the economics are ceded to Protective, resulting in no impact to net income.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, $60,797,874 and $61,774,539, respectively, of separate account reserves were acquired under modified coinsurance from MassMutual. While MassMutual holds the respective asset and liability under the modified coinsurance agreement, the economics are assumed by the Company.

Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account. To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account has paid risk charges of $10,723, $11,325, $11,649, $11,608 and $12,581 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017,

respectively. No separate account guarantees were paid by the general account for the years ending December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Separate accounts with guarantees

The Government Guaranteed Funds are separate accounts investing in fixed income securities backed by the credit of the U.S. Government, its agencies or its instrumentalities.

The Stable Asset Funds invest in investment-grade corporate bonds in addition to the above mentioned securities.

The Company also has separate accounts comprised of assets underlying variable universal life policies issued privately to accredited investors. The accounts invest in investment grade fixed income securities.

The Individual Indexed-Linked Annuity Product provides returns based on the performance of one or more indices and invests in fixed income securities. The returns from these securities are invested in derivative instruments which mimic the returns of select indices. There is also a return of premium death benefit guarantee to policyholders.

The Government Guaranteed Funds and Stable Asset Funds have a guaranteed minimum crediting rate of at least 0%. All of the above separate accounts provide a book value guarantee. Some of them also provide a death benefit of the greater of account balance or premium paid.

Distributions to a participant are based on the participant’s account balance and are permitted for the purpose of paying a benefit to a participant. Distributions for purposes other than paying a benefit to a participant may be restricted. Participants’ distributions are based on the amount of their account balance, whereas, distributions as a result of termination of the group annuity contract are based on net assets attributable to the contract and can be made to the group through (1) transfer of the underlying securities and any remaining cash balance, or (2) transfer of the cash balance after sale of the Fund’s securities.

Most guaranteed separate account assets and related liabilities are carried at fair value. Certain separate account assets are carried at book value based on the prescribed deviation from the Division.

Non-guaranteed separate accounts

The non-guaranteed separate accounts include unit investment trusts or series accounts that invest in diversified open-end management investment companies. These separate account assets and related liabilities are carried at fair value.

The investments in shares are valued at the closing net asset value as determined by the appropriate fund/portfolio at the end of each day. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. Some of the separate accounts provide an incidental death benefit of the greater of the policyholder's account balance or premium paid and some provide an incidental annual withdrawal benefit for the life of the policyholder. Certain contracts contain provisions relating to a contingent deferred sales charge. In such contracts, charges will be made for total or partial surrender of a participant annuity account in excess of the “free amount” before the retirement date by a deduction from a participant’s account. The “free amount” is an amount equal to 10% of the participant account value at December 31 of the calendar year prior to the partial or total surrender.

13. Capital and Surplus, Dividend Restrictions, and Other Matters

The payment of principal and interest under all surplus notes can be made only with prior written approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Colorado. Such payments are payable only out of surplus funds of the Company and only if at the time of such payment, and after giving effect to the making thereof, the financial condition of the Company is such that its surplus would not fall below two and one-half times the authorized control level as required by the most recent risk-based capital calculations.

On November 15, 2004, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount of $195,000 to GWL&A Financial. The proceeds were used to redeem a $175,000 surplus note issued May 4, 1999 and for general corporate purposes. The surplus note bears interest at the rate of 6.675% and was due November 14, 2034. On December 9, 2019 the Company used proceeds from the ceding commission earned on the Protective transaction to redeem the surplus note balance in full. The carrying amount of the surplus note was $0 and $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest paid on the note was $0, $0 and $13,016 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, bringing total interest paid from inception to December 31, 2021 to $195,243.

On December 29, 2017, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount and carrying amount of $12,000 to GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The surplus note bears an interest rate of 3.5% per annum. The note matures of December 29, 2027. Interest paid on the note during 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $420, $420 and $420, respectively, bringing total interest paid from inception to December 31, 2021 to $1,682. The amount of unapproved principal and interest was $0 at December 31, 2021.

On May 17, 2018, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount and carrying amount of $346,218 to GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds were used to redeem the $333,400 surplus note issued in 2006 and for general corporate purposes. The surplus note bears an interest rate of 4.881% per annum. The note matures on May 17, 2048. Interest paid on the note during 2021, 2020, and 2019 amounted to $16,899, $16,899 and $16,899, respectively, bringing total interest paid from inception to December 31, 2020 to $61,212.The amount of unapproved principal and interest was $0 at December 31, 2021.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company realized a $39,921 after tax gain on an interest rate swap that hedged the existing $333,400 surplus note. The Company adjusted the basis of the hedged item, in this case the surplus note, for the amount of the after tax gain. Further, the Company accounted for the redemption of the $333,400 surplus note and the issuance of the $346,218 surplus note in the second quarter as debt modification instead of debt extinguishment. Therefore, the after tax swap gain will be amortized into income over the 30 year life of the new surplus note. Amortization of the gain during 2021, 2020 and 2019

83

amounted to $1,331, $1,331 and $1,330, respectively bringing the total amortization from inception to December 31, 2021 amounted to $4,990, leaving an unamortized balance of $34,931 in surplus as part of the surplus note amounts.

On August 12, 2020, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount and carrying amount of $527,500 to GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds were used to finance the Personal Capital transaction. The surplus note bears an interest rate of 1.260% per annum. The note matures on August 12, 2025. Interest paid on the note during 2021 and 2020 amounted to $6,647 and $0, respectively, bringing total interest paid from inception to December 31, 2021 to $6,647. The amount of unapproved principal and interest were $0 at December 31, 2021.

As of the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company had received capital contributions of $3.1 billion from GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds were used to finance the Personal Capital and MassMutual transactions.

On August 26, 2021, the Company issued a surplus note in the face amount and carrying amount of $1,192,007 to GWL&A Financial Inc. The proceeds are anticipated to be used to partially fund the acquisition of certain businesses from Prudential Financial, Inc. The note matures on December 31, 2051. The surplus note bears an interest rate of 4.2% per annum until December 31, 2026. Starting on December 31, 2026 and on every fifth anniversary of such date thereafter, the interest rate on the note is reset to rate equal to the five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 3.4%. Interest paid on the note during 2021 amounted to $17,557, bringing total interest paid at December 31, 2021 to $17,557. The amount of unapproved principal and interest was $0 at December 31, 2021.

Risk-based capital ("RBC") is a regulatory tool for measuring the minimum amount of capital appropriate for a life, accident and health organization to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The Division requires the Company to maintain minimum capital and surplus equal to the company action level as calculated in the RBC model. The Company exceeds the required amount.

The Company, GWL&A NY and GWSC (“GWLA Subgroup”) are life insurance companies who form a life subgroup under the consolidated return regulations. These regulations determine whether the taxable income or losses of this subgroup may offset or be offset with the taxable income or losses of other non-life entities.

89

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

The GWLA Subgroup accounts for income taxes on the modified separate return method on each of their separate company, statutory financial statements. Under this method, current and deferred tax expense or benefit is determined on a standalone basis; however the Company also considers taxable income or losses from other members of the GWLA Subgroup when determining its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and in evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets.

The method of settling income tax payables and receivables (“Tax Sharing Agreement”) among the U.S. consolidated group is subject to a written agreement approved by the Board of Directors, whereby settlement is made on a separate return basis (i.e., the amount that would be due to or from a jurisdiction had an actual separate return been filed) except for the current utilization of any net operating losses and other tax attributes by members of the U.S. Consolidated Group, which can lead to receiving a payment when none would be received from the jurisdiction had a real separate tax return been required. The GWLA Subgroup has a policy of settling intercompany balances as soon as practical after the filing of the federal consolidated return or receipt of the income tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service (“I.R.S.”).

The Company determines income tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets (“SSAP No. 5R”) as modified by SSAP No. 101. As of December 31, 2021 the amount of tax contingencies computed in accordance with SSAP No. 5R is $0, with the exception of interest and penalties. The Company does not expect a significant increase in tax contingencies within the 12 month period following the balance sheet date.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in current income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized approximately $(1,926) and $931 of expense from interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions. The Company had $448 and $2,374 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Parent's U.S. federal and state tax filings are subject to adjustment or examination by the relevant tax authorities for tax years ending December 31, 2007 and thereafter. The Company does not expect significant increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits to federal, state or local audits.

The Company does not have any foreign operations as of the periods ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and therefore is not subject to the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income.

15. Employee Benefit Plans

Post-Retirement Medical and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

Previously, the Company sponsored an unfunded Post-Retirement Medical Plan (the “Medical Plan”) that provided health benefits to retired employees who are not Medicare eligible. The Medical Plan is contributory and contains other cost sharing features which may be adjusted annually for the expected general inflation rate. The Company’s policy is to fund the cost of the Medical Plan benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company transferred the Medical Plan to its subsidiary, Empower.

The Company provides Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans to certain key executives. These plans provide key executives with certain benefits upon retirement, disability or death based upon total compensation. The Company has purchased individual life insurance policies with respect to each employee covered by these plans. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the insurance contracts.

A December 31 measurement date is used for the employee benefit plans.

During 2020, the Company adopted the Society of Actuaries Mortality Improvement Scale (MP-2020) which the Company elected to continue to use for 2021.

The following tables present the weighted average interest rate assumptions used in determining the net periodic benefit/cost of the Supplemental Executive Retirement plans:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021			2020
Discount rate		2.09	%		2.98	%
Rate of compensation increase		N/A			N/A

The discount rate has been set based on the rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period the benefits will be paid. In particular, the yields on bonds rated AA or better on the measurement date have been used to set the discount rate.

Beginning December 31, 2012, the Company began participation in the pension plan sponsored by GWL&A Financial. During 2017, that plan froze all future benefit accruals for pension-eligible participants as of December 31, 2017. The Company’s share of net expense for the pension plan was $3,625, $7,806 and $14,842 during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The Company offers unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plans to a select group of executives, management and highly compensated individuals. Participants defer a portion of their compensation and realize potential market gains / losses or interest on the amount deferred. The programs are not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Participant

balances, which are included in Other liabilities in the accompanying statutory financial statements, are $56,179 and $49,595 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Previously, the Company sponsored a qualified defined contribution benefit plan covering all employees. Under this plan, employees may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to the plan up to certain maximums, as defined by the plan and by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Effective January 1, 2020, the Company transferred the qualified defined contribution benefit plan to its subsidiary, Empower Retirement, LLC. Previously, the Company matched a percentage of employee contributions in cash. The Company recognized $24,955 in expense related to this plan for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

16. Share-Based Compensation

Equity Awards

Lifeco, of which the Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, maintains the Great-West Lifeco Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Lifeco plan”) that provides for the granting of options on its common shares to certain of its officers and employees and those of its subsidiaries, including the Company.  Options are granted with exercise prices not less than the average market price of the shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant.  The Lifeco plan provides for the granting of options with varying terms and vesting requirements with vesting commencing on the first anniversary of the grant, exercisable within 10 years from the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized in the Company's financial statements over the vesting period of these stock options using the accelerated method of recognition.

Termination of employment prior to the vesting of the options results in the forfeiture of the unvested options, unless otherwise determined by the Human Resources Committee. At its discretion, the Human Resources Committee may vest the unvested options of retiring option holders, with the options exercisable within five years from the date of retirement. In such event, the Company accelerates the recognition period to the date of retirement for any unrecognized share-based compensation cost related thereto and recognizes it in its earnings at that time.

Liability Awards

The Company maintains a Performance Share Unit Plan (“PSU plan”) for officers and employees of the Company.  Under the PSU plan, “performance share units” are granted to certain of its officers and employees of the Company. Each performance unit has a value equal to one share of Lifeco common stock and is subject to adjustment for cash dividends paid to Lifeco stockholders, Company earnings results as well as stock dividends and splits, consolidations and the like that affect shares of Lifeco common stock outstanding.

If the performance share units vest, they are payable in cash equal to the average closing price of Lifeco common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the date following the last day of the three-year performance period. The estimated fair value of the performance unit is based on the average closing price of Lifeco common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the grant. The performance share units generally vest in their entirety at the end of the three years performance period based on continued service.  The PSU plan contains a provision that permits all unvested performance share units to become vested upon death or retirement. Changes in the fair value of the performance share units that occur during the vesting period is recognized as compensation cost over that period.

Performance share units are settled in cash and are recorded as liabilities until payout is made. Unlike share-settled awards, which have a fixed grant-date fair value, the fair value of unsettled or unvested liabilities awards is remeasured at the end of each reporting period based on the change in fair value of one share of Lifeco common stock. The liability and corresponding expense are adjusted accordingly until the award is settled.

⁽¹⁾  Surplus notes principal - Represents contractual maturities of principal due to the Company’s parent, GWL&A Financial, under the terms of four long-term surplus notes. The amounts shown in this table differ from the amounts included in the Company’s Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus because of the $34,931 of unamortized debt modification gain as discussed in Note 13.

⁽²⁾  Surplus notes interest - All surplus notes bear interest at a fixed rate through maturity. The interest payments shown in this table are calculated based upon the contractual rates in effect on December 31, 2021.

⁽³⁾  Investment purchase obligations - The Company makes commitments to fund partnership interests, mortgage loans, and other investments in the normal course of its business. As the timing of the fulfillment of the commitment to fund partnership interests cannot be predicted, such obligations are presented in the less than one year category. The timing of the funding of mortgage loans is based on the expiration date of the commitment. The amounts of these unfunded commitments at December 31, 2021 was $1,172,481, of which $655,615 were related to limited partnership interests. Related party transactions comprise of $164,184 of the unfunded limited partnership interests at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, $1,165,936 was due within one year, $1,545 was due within four to five years, and $5,000 was due after five years.

⁽⁴⁾  Other liabilities - Other liabilities include those other liabilities which represent contractual obligations not included elsewhere in the table above. If the timing of the payment of any other liabilities was sufficiently uncertain, the amounts were included in the less than one year category. Other liabilities presented in the table above include:

· Expected benefit payments for the Company's supplemental executive retirement plan through 2027

· Unrecognized tax benefits

· Personal Capital contingent payment consideration

As part of the Personal Capital acquisition, the Company included contingent consideration based on the potential achievement of certain key metrics. An initial contingent consideration earn-out value of $20,000 represented management’s best estimate, which could be up to $175,000 based on the achievement of growth in assets under management metrics defined in the Merger Agreement, payable following measurements through December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

The contingent consideration provision was increased by $80,000 in 2021 for a total contingent consideration provision of $100,000 at December 31, 2021. The increase in 2021 was due to growth in net new assets above the amount assumed at the date

of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration measured in accordance with the Merger Agreement subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation are recognized in operating and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Based on current estimates, management anticipates paying $59,000 in 2022 and $41,000 in 2023 in contingent consideration.

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $30,243, $25,324 and $33,473 respectively.

Originally entered into on March 1, 2018 and as amended on July 7, 2020, the Company has a revolving credit facility agreement in the amount of $50,000 for general corporate purposes.  The credit facility has an expiration date of March 1, 2023.  Interest accrues at a rate dependent on various conditions and terms of borrowings. The agreement requires, among other things, the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth, of $673,000, as defined in the credit facility agreement (compiled on the unconsolidated statutory accounting basis prescribed by the NAIC), at any time. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2021 and 2020. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 there were no outstanding amounts related to the current credit facilities.

In addition, the Company has other letters of credit with a total amount of $8,595, renewable annually for an indefinite period of time. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no outstanding amounts related to those letters of credit.

In October 2020, the Company became a member of the FHLB of Topeka. FHLB provides access to billions of low-cost funding dollars to banks, credit unions, insurance companies and community development financial institutions in the United States. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an estimated borrowing capacity of approximately $2,500,000. All borrowings must be collateralized and the required collateral amount is based on the type of investment securities pledged. No amounts were borrowed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the Company was required to purchase FHLB of Topeka stock and, at December 31, 2021 and 2020, owns $501 and $500, respectively, of Class A stock which are currently not eligible for redemption.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be threatened with, or named as a defendant in, lawsuits, arbitrations, and administrative claims. Any such claims that are decided against the Company could harm the Company’s business. The Company is also subject to periodic regulatory audits and inspections which could result in fines or other disciplinary actions. Unfavorable outcomes in such matters may result in a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The liabilities transferred and ceding commission received at the closing of the MassMutual transaction are subject to future adjustments. In December 2021, MassMutual provided the Company with its listing of proposed adjustments with respect to the liabilities transferred. In December 2021, the Company formally objected to these proposed adjustments. The Master Transaction Agreement requires the parties to attempt to resolve these differences in an informal manner and that process is ongoing. Based on the information presently known, it is difficult to predict the outcome of this matter with certainty, but this matter is not expected to materially impact the financial position of the Company.

The Company is involved in other various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.  In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the likelihood of loss from the resolution of these proceedings is remote and/or the estimated loss is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, or cash flows.

The Company and GWL&A NY have an agreement whereby the Company has committed to provide financial support to GWL&A NY related to the maintenance of adequate regulatory surplus and liquidity. The Company is obligated to invest in shares of GWL&A NY in order for GWL&A NY to maintain the capital and surplus at the greater of 1) $6,000, 2) 200% of GWL&A NY RBC minimum capital requirements if GWL&A NY total assets are less than $3,000,000 or 3) 175% of GWL&A

21. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company’s statutory financial statements through April 15, 2022, the date on which they were issued. On February 2, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $95,000. The dividend was paid on March 16, 2022 to the Company’s sole shareholder, GWL&A Financial.

Deposit accounting, as described in SSAP No. 61R was not applied for reinsurance contracts, which include risk-limiting features since the Company does not have applicable contracts.

Reinsurance contracts NOT subject to Appendix A-791—Life and Health Reinsurance Agreements of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual:

The Company has not applied reinsurance accounting, as described in in SSAP No. 61R, to reinsurance contracts entered into, renewed or amended on or after January 1, 1996, which include risk-limiting features, as described in SSAP No. 61R since the Company does not have applicable contracts. As such, the reinsurance reserve credit, as described in SSAP No. 61R, was not reduced.

Payments to reinsurers (excluding reinsurance contracts with a federal or state facility):

The Company has not entered into, renewed or amended reinsurance contracts on or after January 1, 1996, which contain provisions that allow (1) the reporting of losses or settlements with the reinsurer to occur less frequently than quarterly or (2) payments due from the reinsurer to not be made in cash within ninety days of the settlement date unless there is no activity during the period.

The Company has not entered into, renewed or amended reinsurance contracts on or after January 1, 1996, which contain a payment schedule, accumulating retentions from multiple years or any features inherently designed to delay timing of the reimbursement to the ceding company.
