FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Fair Value Measurement – Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative fair value guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, and other market observable inputs.

Level 3 - Fair value is based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability. The assets and liabilities in this category may require significant judgment or estimation in determining the fair value.

For a discussion of the Company's valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, see further below as well as Note 5 to the Financial Statements included in the Predecessor Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Fair Value Option Election

As discussed in Note 2, we have elected to adopt the fair value option for several of our financial assets and liabilities. The following are the financial assets and liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option:

•Fixed maturity securities - We have elected the fair value option for our entire fixed maturity securities portfolio. Following the election, fixed maturity securities will no longer carry available-for-sale or trading designations. Following the election, there have been no significant changes in the pricing inputs and valuation methodologies for these securities as disclosed in Note 5 of the Financial Statements included in the Predecessor Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

•Equity securities - We have elected the fair value option for our entire equity securities portfolio. There have been no significant changes in the pricing inputs and valuation methodologies on these securities following the election. Following the election, there have been no significant changes in the pricing inputs and valuation methodologies for these securities as disclosed in Note 5 of the Financial Statements included in the Predecessor Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

•Secured receivable - We have elected the fair value option for our entire secured receivable, which represents our participating interest in the underlying commercial mortgage and other loans and certain private credit fixed maturity security securities. See "Updated Fair Value Methods and Assumptions" further below.

•Deposit asset - We have elected the fair value option for the deposit asset associated with the reinsurance agreement with Pruco Life regarding fixed indexed annuities and fixed annuities with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal. See "Updated Fair Value Methods and Assumptions" further below.

•Reinsurance recoverable - We have elected the fair value option for the reinsurance recoverable associated with the reinsurance agreement with PICA. See "Updated Fair Value Methods and Assumptions" further below.

•Modified coinsurance agreement - We have elected the fair value option on our modified coinsurance receivable and payable balances associated with the reinsurance agreement with Pruco Life regarding variable annuity base contracts, along with the living benefit guarantees. See "Updated Fair Value Methods and Assumptions" further below.

•Insurance Liabilities - We have elected the fair value option for the entirety of our insurance liabilities. See "Updated Fair Value Methods and Assumptions" further below.

(1)Conversely, the impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact on fair value as that presented in the table.

(2)Includes assets classified as fixed maturity securities, at fair value as of June 30, 2022 and fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale and fixed maturity securities, trading as of December 31, 2021.

(3)Represents multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and are amounts used when the Company has determined that market participants would use such multiples when valuing the investments.

(4)Future policy benefits primarily represent general account liabilities for the living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuity contracts which are accounted for as embedded derivatives. Since the valuation methodology for these liabilities uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract level over the cash flow projection period, presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.

(5)Policyholders’ account balances primarily represent general account liabilities for the index-linked interest credited on certain of the Company’s annuity products that are accounted for as embedded derivatives. Since the valuation methodology for these liabilities uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract level over the cash flow projection period, presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.

(6)Lapse rates for contracts with living benefit guarantees are adjusted at the contract level based on the in-the-moneyness of the living benefit and reflect other factors, such as the applicability of any surrender charges. Lapse rates are reduced when contracts are more in-the-money. Lapse rates for contracts with index-linked crediting guarantees may be adjusted at the contract level based on the applicability of any surrender charges, product type, and market related factors such as interest rates. Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower for the period where surrender charges apply. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for the purposes of valuing these embedded derivatives.

(7)The spread over the SOFR and LIBOR swap curve represents the premium added to the proxy for the risk-free rate (SOFR/LIBOR) to reflect the Company's estimates of rates that a market participant would use to value the living benefits in both the accumulation and payout phases and index-linked interest crediting guarantees. This spread includes an estimate of NPR, which is the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled by the Company. NPR is primarily estimated by utilizing the credit spreads associated with issuing funding agreements, adjusted for any illiquidity risk premium. In order to reflect the financial strength ratings of the Company, credit spreads associated with funding agreements, as opposed to credit spread associated with debt, are utilized in developing this estimate because funding agreements, living benefit guarantees, and index-linked interest crediting guarantees are insurance liabilities and are therefore senior to debt.

(8)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contracts that will utilize the benefit during the contract duration and begin lifetime withdrawals at various time intervals from contract inception.The remaining contractholders are assumed to either begin lifetime withdrawals immediately or never utilize the benefit. Utilization assumptions may vary by product type, tax status and age. The impact of changes in these assumptions is highly dependent on the product type, the age of the contractholder at the time of the sale, and the timing of the first lifetime income withdrawal. Range reflects the utilization rate for the vast majority of business with living benefits.

(9)The withdrawal rate assumption estimates the magnitude of annual contractholder withdrawals relative to the maximum allowable amount under the contract. These assumptions vary based on the age of the contractholder, the tax status of the contract and the duration since the contractholder began lifetime withdrawals. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the minimum withdrawal rate assumption is 76% and the maximum withdrawal rate assumption may be greater than 100%. The fair value of the liability will generally increase the closer the withdrawal rate is to 100% and decrease as the withdrawal rate moves further away from 100%.

(10)The range reflects the mortality rates for the vast majority of business with living benefits, with policyholders ranging from 45 to 90 years old. While the majority of living benefits have a minimum age requirement, certain other contracts do not have an age restriction. This results in contractholders with mortality rates approaching 0% for certain benefits. Mortality rates may vary by product, age, and duration. A mortality improvement assumption is also incorporated into the overall mortality table.

Interrelationships Between Unobservable Inputs – In addition to the sensitivities of fair value measurements to changes in each unobservable input in isolation, as reflected in the table above, interrelationships between these inputs may also exist, such that a change in one unobservable input may give rise to a change in another, or multiple, inputs. Examples of such interrelationships for significant internally-priced Level 3 assets and liabilities are as follows:

Corporate Securities – The rate used to discount future cash flows reflects current risk-free rates plus credit and liquidity spread requirements that market participants would use to value an asset. The discount rate may be influenced by many factors, including market cycles, expectations of default, collateral, term and asset complexity. Each of these factors can influence discount rates, either in isolation, or in response to other factors. During weaker economic cycles, as the expectations of default increases, credit spreads widen, which results in a decrease in fair value.

Future Policy Benefits (Predecessor Company)/Insurance Liabilities, at fair value (Successor Company) – The Company expects efficient benefit utilization and withdrawal rates to generally be correlated with lapse rates. However, behavior is highly dependent on the facts and circumstances surrounding the individual contractholder, such as their liquidity needs or tax situation, which could drive lapse behavior independent of other contractholder behavior assumptions. To the extent that more efficient contractholder behavior results in greater in-the-moneyness at the contract level, lapse rates may decline for those contracts. Similarly, to the extent that increases in equity volatility are correlated with overall declines in the capital markets, lapse rates may decline as contracts become more in-the-money.

Updated Fair Value Methods and Assumptions

The following represents the updated methods and assumptions the Company uses to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to the election of the fair value option:

Secured receivable - Fair value for the underlying commercial mortgage loans is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate or foreign government bond rate (for non-U.S. dollar-denominated loans) plus an appropriate credit spread for loans of similar quality, average life and currency. The quality ratings for these loans, a primary determinant of the credit spreads and a significant component of the pricing process, are based on an internally-developed methodology. Certain commercial mortgage loans are valued incorporating other factors, including the terms of the loans, the principal exit strategies for the loans, prevailing interest rates and credit risk.

The fair values of the underlying private credit fixed maturities, which are originated by internal private asset managers, are primarily determined using discounted cash flow models. These models primarily use observable inputs that include Treasury or similar base rates plus estimated credit spreads to value each security. The credit spreads are obtained through a survey of private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions, and consider, among other factors, the credit quality and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. Internal adjustments are made to reflect variation in observed sector spreads. Since most private placements are valued using standard market observable inputs and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including, but not limited to observed prices and spreads for similar publicly or privately traded issues. For certain private fixed maturities, the discounted cash flow model may incorporate significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset.

Deposit asset - The deposit asset represents assets, held in trust by the reinsurer, that back the insurance liabilities under the reinsurance agreement regarding our fixed indexed annuities and fixed annuities with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal income. The deposit is recorded to match the associated insurance liabilities, which are recorded at fair value. Accordingly, the fair value of our deposit asset is determined by the fair value calculation of our insurance liabilities. See discussion of the fair value determination for insurance liabilities below.

Reinsurance recoverable - The reinsurance recoverable represents a recoverable that backs the insurance liabilities under the reinsurance agreement regarding the business reinsured to PICA. The reinsurance recoverable is recorded to match the associated insurance liabilities, which are recorded at fair value. Accordingly, the fair value of our reinsurance recoverable is determined by the fair value calculation of our insurance liabilities. See discussion of the fair value determination for insurance liabilities below.

Modified coinsurance agreement receivables and payables - The modified coinsurance receivable represents the reserve credits for the insurance liabilities covered under the reinsurance agreements regarding our variable annuity base contracts, along with guaranteed benefits. The modified coinsurance receivable is recorded to match the associated insurance liabilities, which are recorded at fair value. Accordingly, the fair value of our modified coinsurance receivable is determine by the fair value calculation of our insurance liabilities. See our discussion of the fair value determination for insurance liabilities below. Similarly, the modified coinsurance payable primarily represents the fair value of the cession of assets backing the ceded insurance liabilities under the reinsurance agreement. Accordingly, the fair value of the modified coinsurance payable is calculated to match the fair value of the assets under the reinsurance agreement. See our discussion of the fair value determination for the respective assets within the modified coinsurance portfolio, which are included in our discussion of fair value herein as well as Note 5 of the Financial Statements included in the Predecessor Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Insurance liabilities - Our insurance liabilities are comprised of guarantees primarily associated with the living benefit features of certain variable annuity contracts, including guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMAB"), guaranteed withdrawal benefits ("GMWB"), guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB") and guaranteed minimum income and withdrawal benefits ("GMIWB"). These are optional riders that are added to the base variable annuity contract, which includes Mortality and Expense charges (M&E) and contract charges. The fair values of these liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected benefit payments to customers, anticpated future trail commissions paid to agents and certain administrative expenses less the present value of future expected rider fees, M&E charges, contract charges and the anticipated future reimbursement of certain asset management fees. This methodology could result in either a liability or asset balance, given changing capital market conditions and various actuarial assumptions. Since there is no observable active market for the transfer of these obligations, the valuations are calculated using internally developed models with option pricing techniques. The models are based on a risk neutral valuation framework and incorporate premiums for risks inherent in valuation techniques, inputs, and the general uncertainty around the timing and amount of future cash flows. The determination of these risk premiums requires the use of management's judgment.

The significant inputs to the valuation models include capital market assumptions, such as interest rate levels and volatility assumptions, as well as actuarially determined assumptions, including contractholder behavior, such as lapse rates, benefit utilization rates, withdrawal rates, and mortality rates. Since many of these assumptions are unobservable and are considered to be significant inputs to the liability valuation, the insurance liabilities have been reflected within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Changes in Level 3 Assets and Liabilities – The following tables describe changes in fair values of Level 3 assets and liabilities as of the dates indicated, as well as the portion of gains or losses included in income attributable to unrealized gains or losses related to those assets and liabilities still held at the end of their respective periods. When a determination is made to classify assets and liabilities within Level 3, the determination is based on significance of the unobservable inputs in the overall fair value measurement. All transfers are based on changes in the observability of the valuation inputs, including the availability of pricing service information that the Company can validate. Transfers into Level 3 are generally the result of unobservable inputs utilized within valuation methodologies and the use of indicative broker quotes for assets that were previously valued using observable inputs. Transfers out of Level 3 are generally due to the use of observable inputs in valuation methodologies as well as the availability of pricing service information for certain assets that the Company can validate.
