(1) The weighted average for the yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries for corporate debt securities (private placements) is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities.
(2) The weighted average annual default rates of asset backed securities is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities.
(3) The weighted average surrender rate is weighted based on the benefit base of each contract and represents the average assumption in the current year including the effect of a dynamic surrender formula.
(4) The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the observable interest rates used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company changed to using a U.S. Treasury curve as its observable discount rate curve reflecting the evolution of LIBOR discontinuation as an observable reference rate used by market participants.
(5) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year.
(6) The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption for the current year, weighting each policy evenly. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals.
(7) Market volatility represents the implied volatility of fund of funds and managed volatility funds.
(8) The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit.
(9) The weighted average discount rate represents the average discount rate across all contingent consideration liabilities, weighted based on the size of the contingent consideration liability.
(10) The fair value of the structured variable annuity embedded derivatives was a net asset as of December 31, 2022 and the amount is presented as a contra liability.
