5 The Hartford Projected to Maintain Targeted Capital Levels under Stress Scenario Note: The stress scenario modeled projections and the related assumptions set forth on the previous page have been prepared for purposes of planning the offerings discussed herein. They are necessarily speculative in nature. Actual sources and uses of capital under stressed economic conditions may vary significantly and adversely from those indicated above, as the stress scenario does not incorporate all risks to which The Hartford could be exposed under stressed economic conditions. 1Global VA capital impact represents the net impact of reserves, hedging and capital requirements associated with equity market stress scenario, and excludes statutory earnings generated by VA over the two-year period. 2Pro forma for proposed transaction. $1.6 billion above targeted capital levels even under modeled stress scenario ($ in billions)
