REINUSRANCE - SUCCESSOR COMPANY REINSURANCE - SUCCESSOR COMPANY
Reinsurance is used as part of the Company's risk management and capital management strategies. Under ceded reinsurance, we remain liable to the underlying policyholder if a third-party reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations. We evaluate the financial condition of reinsurers, monitor the concentration of counterparty risk and maintain collateral, as appropriate, to mitigate this exposure.

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company surrendered its New York license and reinsured the majority of its New York business, both the living benefit guarantees and base contracts, to Prudential Insurance. Reinsurance ceded arrangements do not discharge the Company as the primary insurer. Reinsurance ceded arrangements do not discharge the Company as the primary insurer. Ceded balances would represent a liability of the Company in the event the reinsurers were unable to meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company believes a material reinsurance liability resulting from such inability of reinsurers to meet their obligations is unlikely.

Effective April 1, 2016, the Predecessor Company reinsured the variable annuity base contracts, along with the living benefit guarantees, from Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life”), excluding the Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“PLNJ”) business which was reinsured to The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential Insurance”), in each case under a coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreement. This reinsurance agreement covers new and in force business and excludes business reinsured externally. As of December 31, 2020, Pruco Life discontinued the sales of traditional variable annuities with guaranteed living benefit riders. The discontinuation has no impact on the reinsurance agreement between Pruco Life and the Company.

Effective July 1, 2021, Pruco Life recaptured the risks related to its business, as discussed above, that had previously been reinsured to the Company from April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021. The product risks related to the previously reinsured business that were being managed in the Predecessor Company, were transferred to Pruco Life. In addition, the living benefit hedging program related to the previously reinsured living benefit riders will be managed within Pruco Life after the recapture. This transaction is referred to as the “2021 Variable Annuities Recapture”. See further below for the specific impacts of this transaction.

Effective December 1, 2021, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with Pruco Life under which the Company reinsured certain of its variable and fixed indexed annuities and fixed annuities with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal income feature to Pruco Life. The reinsurance of the variable indexed annuities transfers all significant risks, including mortality risk, embedded in the reinsured contracts to Pruco Life.

Novation of Ceded Business

In the second quarter of 2022, in accordance with applicable state law, a program was instituted to novate a significant portion of the Ceded Business policies from FLIAC to Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life”). The program does not have an impact on net equity or net income but has resulted in the reduction of certain activity/balances associated with these policies. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, approximately $6.7 billion of account value, which generally approximates fair values of insurance liabilities, was transferred out of the Company as a result of the novation program, which represents approximately 66 percent of Ceded Business account value since the acquisition of the Company on April 1, 2022.
