Basis of Presentation

Protective Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), a stock life insurance company, was founded in 1907. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation (“PLC”), an insurance holding company. On February 1, 2015, PLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company, Limited, a kabushiki kaisha organized under the laws of Japan (“Dai-ichi Life”), when DL Investment (Delaware), Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life, merged with and into PLC. Prior to February 1, 2015, and for the periods reported as “predecessor”, PLC’s stock was publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and subsequent to the Merger date, PLC and the Company remain as SEC registrants within the United States. PLC is a holding company with subsidiaries that provide financial services through the production, distribution, and administration of insurance and investment products.

The Merger was accounted for by PLC under the acquisition method of accounting under ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC Topic 805-20-30, all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. PLC elected to apply “pushdown” accounting by applying the guidance allowed by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, including the initial recognition of most of PLC’s assets and liabilities at fair value as of the acquisition date, and similarly recognizing goodwill calculated based on the terms of the transaction and the fair value of the new basis of net assets of PLC. The new basis of accounting will be the basis of the accounting records in the preparation of future financial statements and related disclosures after the Merger date. Goodwill of $735.7 million represents the cost in excess of the fair value of PLC’s net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in the Merger, and reflects the Company’s assembled workforce, future growth potential and other sources of value not associated with identifiable assets.

The Merger was accounted for by the Company in a manner consistent with that utilized by PLC.

As such, the entire balance of goodwill of $735.7 million is included in the new basis of net assets of the Company. The new basis of accounting will be the basis of the accounting records in the preparation of future financial statements and related disclosures after the Merger date.
