ORGANIZATION
ORGANIZATION
MONY Life Insurance Company of America (“MLOA”) is an Arizona stock life insurance corporation. MLOA’s primary business is providing life insurance and employee benefit products to both individuals and businesses. MLOA is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Equitable Financial Services, LLC (“AEFS”). AEFS is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial,” and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “AXA Financial Group”). AXA Financial is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Equitable Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA S.A. (“AXA”), a French holding company for the AXA Group, a worldwide leader in life, property and casualty and health insurance and asset management.
On May 10, 2017, AXA announced its intention to pursue the sale of a minority stake in our indirect parent, Holdings, through a proposed initial public offering (the "Holdings IPO") in the first half of 2018. On November 13, 2017, Holdings filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The completion of the proposed Holdings IPO will depend on, among other things, the SEC filing and review process and customary regulatory approvals, as well as market conditions. There can be no assurance that the proposed Holdings IPO will occur on the anticipated timeline or at all.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
In 2017, management identified errors in its previous financial statements. These errors primarily related to the calculation of policyholders’ benefit reserves, interest credited to policyholders' account balances and deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") amortization for certain variable and interest sensitive life products and misclassification of an intangible asset for business acquired from a third party. Management evaluated the impact of these errors and concluded they were not material to any previously reported annual financial statements. In order to improve the consistency and comparability of the financial statements, management revised the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and the related statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), shareholder's equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 to include the revisions presented below.
