as they identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and historical trends. These cautionary statements are not exclusive and are in addition to other factors

regarding investment returns, mortality, morbidity, persistency and operating costs and expenses of our business. We establish target returns based upon these factors and the average amount of capital that we must hold to support in-force contracts
taking into account rating agencies and regulatory requirements. Profitability emerges over a period of years depending on the nature and life of the product and is subject to variability as actual results may differ from pricing assumptions.
Additionally, many of our products have fixed or guaranteed terms that limit our ability to increase revenues or reduce benefits, including credited interest, once the product has been issued. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our financial condition depends in part on the adequacy of investment spreads, the management of market and credit risks associated with
investments, the sufficiency of premiums and contract charges to cover mortality and morbidity benefits, the persistency of policies, and the management of operating costs and expenses within anticipated pricing allowances. We may face losses if
there are significant deviations from our assumptions regarding the future persistency of our insurance policies and annuity contracts. The prices and expected future profitability of our life insurance, deferred annuity and long-term care products
are based in part upon assumptions related to persistency. Economic and market dislocations may occur and future consumer persistency behaviors could vary materially from the past. The effect of persistency on profitability varies for different
products. For example, continued activity in the viatical, stranger-owned, and/or life settlement industry could cause the Company’s level of lapses to differ from its assumptions, which could negatively impact the Company’s financial
condition and cash flow. Assumptions and estimates involve judgment, and by their nature are imprecise and subject to changes and revisions over time. Accordingly, the Company’s results may be affected, positively or negatively, from time to
time, by actual results differing from assumptions by changes in estimates, and by changes resulting from implementing new systems and procedures that facilitate the calculation of more precise estimates. Legislation and regulation of the insurance
marketplace and products could also affect the profitability of our business, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We establish and hold reserves to pay future policy benefits and claims. The reserve for policy benefits is computed on a prescribed basis. Our
reserves do not represent an exact calculation of liability, but rather are actuarial or statistical estimates based on data and models that include many assumptions and projections, which are inherently uncertain and involve the exercise of
significant judgment. We periodically review the adequacy of these reserves and the underlying assumptions. We cannot, however, determine with precision the amounts that we will pay for, or the timing of payment of, actual benefits, claims and
expenses or whether the assets supporting our policy liabilities, together with future premiums, will grow to the level assumed prior to the payment of benefits or claims. If actual experience differs significantly from assumptions or estimates,
reserves may not be adequate. If we conclude that our reserves, together with future premiums, are insufficient to cover future policy benefits and claims, we would be required to increase our reserves and incur income statement charges for the
period in which we make the determination, which could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, results of operations and financial condition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Changes in market interest rates and/or credit spreads may lead to a significant decrease in the profitability of our spread-based products and may
adversely impact investment income. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are subject to the risk that we will incur losses due to adverse changes in interest rates or
credit spreads. Adverse changes to these rates and spreads may occur due to changes in fiscal policy and the economic climate, the liquidity of a market or market segment, insolvency or financial distress of key market makers or participants, or
changes in market perceptions of creditworthiness and/or risk tolerance. We are subject to risks associated with potential declines in credit quality related to specific issuers or specific industries and a general weakening in the economy, which
are typically reflected through credit spreads. Credit spread is the additional yield on fixed income securities above the risk-free rate (typically referenced as the yield on U.S. Treasury securities) that market participants require to compensate
them for assuming credit, liquidity and/or prepayment risks. Credit spreads vary (i.e., increase or decrease) in response to the market’s perception of risk and liquidity in a specific issuer or specific sector and are influenced by the credit
ratings, and the reliability of those ratings, published by external rating agencies. A decline in the quality of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in market interest rates, adverse economic conditions or otherwise could cause
additional realized and unrealized losses on securities in our investment portfolio. Similarly, a ratings downgrade affecting a security we hold could indicate the credit quality of that security has deteriorated and could increase the capital we
must hold to support that security to maintain our risk-based capital levels. Levels of writedowns and impairments are impacted by intent to sell, or our assessment of the likelihood that we will be required to sell, fixed maturity securities.
Realized losses or impairments on these securities may have a material adverse effect on our net income in a particular period, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, results of operations and financial condition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our ability to manage our fixed annuities and interest-sensitive life products is dependent upon maintaining profitable spreads between
investment yields and interest crediting rates. When market interest rates decrease or remain at relatively low levels, cash flows from renewal premium or investments that have matured or have been prepaid or sold may be reinvested at lower yields,
reducing investment spread. Lowering interest crediting rates on some products in such an environment can partially offset decreases in investment yield. However, these changes could be limited by market conditions, regulatory minimum rates or
contractual minimum rate guarantees on many contracts and may not match the timing or magnitude of changes in investment yields. Decreases in the interest crediting rates offered on products could make those products less attractive, leading to
changes in the level of policy loans, surrenders and withdrawals. This process may lead to a flow of cash out of our business. These outflows may require investment assets to be sold at a time when the prices of those assets are lower because of the
increase in market interest rates, which may result in realized investment losses. For certain products, principally fixed annuity and interest-sensitive life products, the earned rate on assets could lag behind rising market yields. We may react to
market conditions by increasing crediting rates, which could narrow spreads and reduce profitability on our business. Additionally, an increase in market interest rates or credit </P>

are designed to protect contractholders against significant downturns in equity markets and interest rates. Any such periods of significant and sustained downturns in equity markets, increased equity volatility or reduced interest rates could result
in an increase in the valuation of our liabilities associated with those products. An increase in these liabilities would result in a decrease in our net income. We use hedging and risk management strategies to mitigate the liability exposure and
the volatility of net income associated with these liabilities. These strategies involve the use of reinsurance and derivatives, which may not be completely effective. In addition, hedging instruments may not effectively offset the costs of
guarantees or may otherwise be insufficient in relation to our obligations. Furthermore, we are subject to the risk that changes in contractholder behavior or mortality, combined with adverse market events, produce economic losses not addressed by
the risk management techniques employed. These, individually or collectively, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, including net income, cash flow, financial condition or liquidity. </P>

guarantees, we currently utilize reinsurance and capital markets solutions for financing a portion of our statutory reserve requirements deemed to be non-economic. If we are not able to maintain sufficient financing as a result of market conditions
or otherwise, this could potentially adversely impact the profitability of our business, which could materially and adversely effect our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The U.S. Congress has, from time to time, considered legislation that could increase or adversely impact the manner of taxing the products
the Company sells and of calculating the amount of taxes paid by life insurance companies or other corporations, including the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The attractiveness to the Company’s customers of many of the Company’s products may be due, in part, to favorable tax treatment.
Current U.S. federal income tax laws generally permit the tax-deferred accumulation of earnings on the premiums paid by the holders of life insurance and annuity products. Taxes, if any, are payable generally on income attributable to a distribution
under the contract for the year in which the distribution is made. Congress has, from time to time, considered legislation that could have the effect of reducing or eliminating the benefit of such income tax deferral of taxation or otherwise affect
the taxation of life insurance or annuity products. As a result, demand for certain of the Company’s life insurance and annuity products that offer income tax deferral could be negatively impacted. To the extent that legislation is enacted in
the future to reduce the tax deferred status of life insurance or annuity products, limit the exclusion of death benefits from income, or reduce the taxation of competing products, all life insurance companies, including ours, could be adversely
affected. Likewise, reductions in individual tax rates could reduce the attractiveness of tax deferral to the Company’s potential customers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company’s taxes could increase as a result of changes in laws or regulations or in the interpretation of applicable tax laws and
regulations. Furthermore, the value of deferred tax assets could be affected by the Company’s future earnings levels. There is a risk that the current administration could change rates or laws and negatively impact the Company’s earnings.

such potential changes, alternative reference rates or other reforms may adversely affect the trading market for LIBOR-based securities, including those held in the Company’s investment portfolio or used in the valuation of certain embedded

dollar LIBOR contracts would terminate before related LIBOR rates cease to be published. However, regulators have emphasized that despite any continued publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR through June 30, 2023, no new contracts using U.S. dollar

conditions in the global economy and capital markets generally could adversely affect our business and operating results. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business
and results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally. Stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in global capital markets, particular markets, or financial asset classes can
have an adverse effect on us, in part because we have a large investment portfolio and certain of our insurance liabilities are sensitive to changing market factors. Market factors, including interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, real
estate markets, consumer spending, business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, deflation and inflation, all affect the business and economic environment and, ultimately, the amount and profitability
of our business. Disruptions in one market or asset class can also spread to other markets or asset classes. Upheavals in the financial markets can also affect our business through their effects on general levels of economic activity, employment and
customer behavior. Financial markets have also been affected periodically by concerns over U.S. fiscal policy. These issues could, on their own, or combined with the possible slowing of the global economy generally, have severe repercussions to the
U.S. and global credit and financial markets, further exacerbate concerns over sovereign debt of other countries and disrupt economic activity in the U.S. and elsewhere. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">General economic conditions could also adversely affect us in the form of consumer behavior and pressure investment results. Holders of some
of our interest-sensitive life insurance and annuity products may engage in an elevated level of discretionary withdrawals of contractholder funds. Our contractholders may choose to defer paying insurance premium or stop paying insurance premiums
altogether. Our investment results could be adversely affected as deteriorating financial and business conditions affect the issuers of the securities in our investment portfolio. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Losses from legal and regulatory actions may be material to our operating results or cash flows and may result in harm to our reputation. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are involved in various legal actions in the ordinary course of business, the results of which we cannot predict with certainty. We are also
subject to various regulatory actions and inquiries, such as information requests, market conduct examinations and books and record examinations from state and federal regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or significant
regulatory action against us, as well as regulatory inquiries or investigations, could harm our reputation, result in material fines or penalties, result in significant legal costs and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory actions or investigation, our ability to retain our current contractholders and recruit and retain employees could be materially and adversely
impacted. In addition, in some class action and other lawsuits, financial services companies have made material settlement payments. The Company may incur substantial defense costs, settlements or judgments in any such future claims or actions,
which could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>We are subject to extensive regulation and potential further

supervision and regulation covers, among other things, standards of minimum capital requirements and solvency, including risk-based capital measurements, restrictions on certain transactions,
licensing status, reserving, payment of policy benefits, etc. State insurance regulators and the NAIC regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations applicable to insurance companies and their products. Changes in these laws and regulations, or
in interpretations thereof, sometimes lead to additional expense for the insurer and, thus, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to grant, renew or revoke licenses and approvals. If we do not have the requisite
licenses and approvals or do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the insurance regulatory authorities could preclude or temporarily suspend us from carrying on some or all of our activities or impose substantial fines. Further,
insurance regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to issue orders of supervision, which permit such authorities to supervise the business and operations of an insurance company. </P>

laws and regulations administered and enforced by a number of different governmental authorities, each of which exercises a degree of interpretive latitude, including state insurance regulators, state securities administrators, state attorneys
general, and federal agencies including the SEC, the FINRA and the U.S. Department of Justice. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in material fines or other penalties, as well as unexpected costs in remedying any such
failure. In addition, we are subject to the risk that compliance with any particular regulator’s or enforcement authority’s interpretation of a legal issue may not result in compliance with another’s interpretation of the same issue.
Further, there is risk that any particular regulator’s or enforcement authority’s interpretation of a legal issue may change over time to our detriment, or that changes in the overall legal environment may, even absent any particular
regulator’s or enforcement authority’s interpretation of a legal issue, result in material fines or penalties or increased costs, which could in turn negatively impact our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. </P>

entities. As part of a larger effort to strengthen the regulation of the financial services market, certain reforms are applicable to the insurance industry, including the Federal Insurance Office (“FIO”) established within the Treasury
Department. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the state insurance regulatory framework has come under public scrutiny, members of Congress have discussed proposals to
provide for federal chartering of insurance companies, and the FIO and Financial Stability Oversight Council were established. We can make no assurances regarding the potential impact of state or federal measures that may change the nature or scope
of insurance and financial regulation. Regulatory reforms and legislative change or regulatory requirements imposed upon us in connection with the federal government’s regulatory reform of the financial services industry, and any more stringent
enforcement of existing regulations by federal authorities, may make it more expensive for us to conduct our business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Company is subject to

related to insurance products, including long term care insurance and other specialty products, that alters future premium tax offsets received in connection with guaranty fund assessments. The Company cannot predict the amount, nature or timing of

contracts and policies we have issued. No assurances can be made that reinsurance will remain continuously available to us to the same extent and on the same terms and rates as is currently available. We review retention limits for continued
appropriateness and they may be changed in the future. Prolonged or severe adverse mortality or morbidity experience could result in increased reinsurance costs or, ultimately, reinsurers unwilling to offer coverage. If we were unable to renew or
purchase reinsurance protection in amounts that we consider sufficient and at prices that we consider acceptable, we may have to accept an increase in risk exposure, seek other alternatives, or accept reduced profitability. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reinsurance subjects us to the credit risk of our reinsurers and may not be adequate to protect us against losses arising from ceded insurance, which could

a number of factors, including changes in market conditions, whether insured losses meet the qualifying conditions of the reinsurance contract and whether reinsurers, or their affiliates, have the financial capacity and willingness to make payments
under the terms of a reinsurance treaty or contract. While we aim to avoid overexposure by entering into reinsurance agreements with varied counterparties, the liabilities for certain products, including the Contracts, are reinsured exclusively to
one or a small group of reinsurers. Our inability to collect a material recovery from one or more reinsurers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. </P>

severely restricted. In such circumstances, our ability to obtain capital to fund operating expenses, financing costs, satisfy statutory capital requirements and meet liquidity needs may be limited. Our access to additional financing will depend on
a variety of factors such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to our industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as lenders’ perception of our long- or short-term financial
prospects. Similarly, our access to funds may be impaired if regulatory authorities or rating agencies take negative actions against us. If a combination of these factors were to occur, our internal sources of liquidity may prove to be insufficient,
and in such case, we may not be able to successfully obtain additional financing on favorable terms. Our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and statutory capital position could be materially adversely affected by disruptions in
the capital markets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>A downgrade or a potential downgrade in our financial strength or credit rating could result in a loss of business and materially

addition, the NAIC continues to consider various initiatives to change and modernize its financial and solvency requirements and regulations. It has adopted principles-based reserving methodologies for life insurance and annuity reserves, but
additional formulas and/or guidance relevant to the new standard are being developed. The NAIC is also considering changes to accounting regulations, governance practices of insurers and other items. The Company cannot currently estimate what impact

maintaining financial records. Despite the implementation of security policies, procedures, automation and backup plans designed to prevent or limit the effect of any infiltration, failure or disruption, the Company’s IT may be vulnerable to
physical or electronic intrusions, computer viruses or other attacks, programming errors, disruptions or breaches as a result of natural disasters, man-made disasters, human error, criminal activity, or other events beyond the Company’s
control. The failure of controls and/or disaster recovery plans surrounding the Company’s IT for any reason could cause significant interruptions to the Company’s operations, which could result in an adverse effect on the Company’s

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to U.S. federal and state laws, and laws of other jurisdictions in which the Company operates, various government agencies have
established rules protecting the privacy and security of personal information, including personally identifiable policyholder information. In addition, most U.S. states and a number of jurisdictions outside the United States, have enacted laws,
which vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, to safeguard the privacy and security of personal information, including personally identifiable policyholder information. Further, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, or the (“<B>GLB
Act</B>”), imposes privacy requirements on financial institutions, including obligations to protect and safeguard consumers’ nonpublic personal information and records, and limits the ability to share and reuse such information.
Additionally, The NAIC has adopted the Insurance Data Security Model Law which established the standards for data security and investigation and notification of a breach of data security for insurance companies, and an increasing number of states
require that affected persons be notified if a security breach results in the disclosure of their personally identifiable information. Any compromise of the security of our computer systems that results in the inappropriate disclosure of personally
identifiable customer information could damage our reputation in the marketplace, subject us to significant civil and criminal liability and require us to incur significant technical, legal and other expenses. Many regulators have indicated an
intention to take more aggressive enforcement actions regarding cybersecurity and data privacy matters, and private litigation resulting from such matters is increasing and resulting in progressively larger judgments and settlements. </P>

including IT systems. The Company relies on various internal processes and controls to protect the confidentiality of client information that is accessible to, or in the possession of, the Company and its employees. It is possible that an employee
could, intentionally or unintentionally, disclose or misappropriate confidential client information, including personally identifiable policyholder information, or the Company’s data could be the subject of a cybersecurity attack. If the
Company fails to maintain adequate internal controls or if the Company’s employees fail to comply with the Company’s policies and procedures, misappropriation or intentional or unintentional inappropriate disclosure or misuse of client
information, including personally identifiable policyholder information, could occur. Such internal control inadequacies or non-compliance could materially damage the Company’s reputation or lead to civil or criminal penalties, which, in turn,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the Company’s third-party service providers, including third parties to whom the Company outsources certain of its
functions, are also subject to the risks outlined above, any one of which could result in damage to the company’s reputation, or the Company incurring substantial costs or other negative consequences to the Company. If the Company or any of the
Company’s third-party service providers fail to protect the confidentiality of client information, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

intellectual property rights are invalid or violate the rights of those parties, as well as the risk that the Company’s intellectual property rights will be infringed upon by third parties. In general, defending intellectual property rights in
litigation is expensive. The Company’s involvement in litigation of this type would likely have a material and adverse effect on its business and results of operation. In addition, any outcome that invalidates its intellectual property rights
or otherwise diminishes the competitive advantages obtained, at least in part, through the use of those rights could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s overall success. The magnitude of this risk to the Company’s business

ongoing review of our risks and expect to continue to do so in the future. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not be comprehensive and may not identify every risk to which we are exposed. Many of our methods for managing risk and exposures
are based upon the use of observed historical market behavior or statistics based on historical models. As a result, these methods may not fully predict future exposures, which can be significantly greater than our historical measures indicate.
Other risk management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, clients, catastrophe occurrence or other matters that is publicly available or otherwise accessible to us. This information may not always be accurate,
complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated. In addition, more extensive and perhaps different risk management policies and procedures might have to be implemented under pending regulations. Any such unforeseen risk, as well as the implementation of

internal stakeholders for planning, asset / liability management, and risk / stress testing analysis purposes. The models are subject to extensive internal controls which promote repeatability and sustainability, and are also subject to continual
review regarding effectiveness, logic, assumptions and underlying product mechanics and refinements may be implemented based on these reviews. Refinements are subject to a rigorous change management process and are agreed upon with key internal
stakeholders prior to implementation. While models are continually improving as a result of these refinements, there are still inherent limitations. First, no assurances can be given that all necessary refinements will be identified and/or
implemented in our actuarial models. Also, due to the nature of the underlying risks and the uncertainty associated with prospective modeling techniques and the application of such techniques, these models may not accurately capture the evolution of
the in-force block, as we cannot determine precisely the actual experience, policyholder behavior and investment income. Variations in any of the foregoing from estimates in our models may result in the need to post additional reserves, which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition including by adversely affecting the Company’s capital adequacy ratios utilized by NRSROs to assign credit ratings. </P>

immediate, through independent master brokerage agencies and the Allstate exclusive agency channel. In July 2013, we ceased soliciting and selling new policies through our independent agent channel. In 2017, we ceased soliciting and selling new

competitive position. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lincoln Benefit is subject to extensive regulation, primarily at the state level. The method, extent and substance
of such regulation varies by state but generally has its source in statutes that establish standards and requirements for conducting the business of insurance and that delegate regulatory authority to a state agency. These rules have a substantial
effect on our business and relate to a wide variety of matters, including insurer solvency, reserve adequacy, insurance company licensing and examination, agent licensing, policy forms, rate setting, the nature and amount of investments, claims
practices, participation in guaranty funds, transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends, underwriting standards, statutory accounting methods, trade practices and corporate governance. </P>

commercial paper and certain money market investments which have an original term to maturity of less than three months. Short-term investments include debt instruments with a term to maturity exceeding three months, but less than one year on the

in debt securities including bonds, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are stated at amortized cost using the interest method. Where the NAIC rating has fallen to 6 and the fair value has
fallen below amortized cost, they are stated at fair value. The ratings for certain residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) were determined by comparing the
insurer’s carrying value divided by remaining par value to price ranges modeled by a third-party vendor chosen by the NAIC that correspond to each NAIC designation. Comparisons were initially made to the model based on amortized cost. Where the
resulting rating was a NAIC 6 per the model, further comparison based on fair value was required which, in some cases, resulted in a higher final NAIC rating. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Amortization of the premium or discount from the purchase of these securities considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the
underlying loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the prepayments originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated.
Prepayment assumptions for single-class and multi-class MBS and ABS are estimated by management using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based on management’s knowledge of the current market. For prepayment-sensitive securities
such as interest-only and principal-only strips, inverse floaters and credit-sensitive MBS and ABS securities, which represent beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are not of high credit quality or that have been credit
impaired, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other MBS and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. If the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable, an OTTI may be indicated.
The process of analyzing securities for an OTTI adjustment is further described in Note 3. </P>

discount are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of provisions for estimated losses. Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recognized or derecognized in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted
Assets, Liabilities and Capital Stock on the loan’s settlement date, which is the date that the Company cash settles the purchase or sale of the loan. Transaction costs on mortgage loans are capitalized on initial recognition and are recognized
in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Operations using the effective interest rate method. Mortgage loans, which primarily include commercial first lien mortgages, are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United
States. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of the property’s value at the time that the original loan is made. The Company regularly assesses the value of the collateral. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual
terms of the loan. When a mortgage loan is classified as impaired, allowances for credit losses are established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its net recoverable amount. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The allowance for credit losses are estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest
rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate,
or the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan. The full extent of impairment in the mortgage portfolio cannot be assessed solely by reviewing these loans individually. A general allowance for
loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the loan loss
allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is the

vendors and through quoted prices, some of which may be based on the prices of comparable securities with similar structural and collateral features. Pricing inputs for ABS which are primarily comprised of debt securitized by credit card; student
loan and auto receivables; focus on capturing collateral quality and performance, payment patterns, and delinquencies. Values of certain ABS for which there are no significant observable inputs are developed using benchmarks to similar transactions

CMBS with low levels of market liquidity, judgments may be required to determine comparable securities based on the loan type and deal-specific performance. CMBS terms may also incorporate <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">lock-out</FONT> periods
that restrict borrowers from prepaying the loans or provide disincentives to prepay and therefore reduce prepayment risk of these securities, as compared to RMBS. The factors specifically considered in valuation of CMBS include borrower-specific
statistics in a specific region, such as debt service coverage and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">loan-to-value</FONT></FONT> ratios, as well as the type of commercial property. </P>

accordance with SSAP No. 43R, if the fair value of a structured security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI. When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has an Investment Committee comprised of investment and finance professionals which meets at least quarterly to review individual
issues or issuers that may be of concern. In determining whether a security is OTTI, the Investment Committee considers the factors described below. The process involves a quarterly screening of all securities where fair value is less than the
amortized cost basis. Discrete credit events, such as a ratings downgrade, are also used to identify securities that may be OTTI. The securities identified are then evaluated based on issuer-specific facts and circumstances, such as the
issuer’s ability to meet current and future interest and principal payments, an evaluation of the issuer’s financial position and its near-term recovery prospects, difficulties being experienced by an issuer’s parent or affiliate, and
management’s assessment of the outlook for the issuer’s sector. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a supplement to the qualitative assessment, independent
screenings are performed to help identify securities that should be carefully scrutinized for inclusion on the watchlist and in the proper category. These include things like market value to book value ratio, highest unrealized losses, length of
time at an unrealized loss and stress test results for structured securities. In making these evaluations, the Credit Committee exercises considerable judgment. Based on this evaluation, issues or issuers are considered for inclusion on one of the
Company’s following watchlists: Monitor, Concern, High Concern, or Default. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">“Monitor List”- Management has concluded that
the Company’s amortized cost will be recovered through timely collection of all contractually specified cash flows, but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require monitoring on a quarterly basis. The likelihood of future <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-repayment</FONT> is considered not probable. For <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">loan-backed</FONT> and structured securities, a principal loss would be projected under a significant stress model scenario. No OTTI

amortized cost will be recovered through timely collection of all contractually specified cash flows, but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require continued monitoring. A security is moved from the Concern List to the High
Concern List when changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances increase the possibility that a security may become impaired. The likelihood of future <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-repayment</FONT> is considered probable. For <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">loan-backed</FONT> and structured securities, a principal loss would be projected under a base case model scenario. No OTTI charge is recorded in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Operations for unrealized loss on

was issued by a company that has entered bankruptcy subsequent to acquisition or experienced a significant credit downgrade. Management has concluded the amortized cost basis of the security may not be recovered due to expected delays or shortfalls
in the contractually specified cash flows. For these investments, the amount of OTTI recognized in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Operations is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value or present
value of discounted cash flows dependent on the degree of impairment. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During 2020, the maximum and minimum lending rates were 4.96 % and 3.01%, respectively. The maximum and minimum lending rates for
commercial mortgage loans during 2019 were 5.17% and 3.57%, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not reduce interest rates on any outstanding mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the
related properties and did not exceed 74% of the properties’ value at the time the original loan was made in 2020 and 2019, respectively. </P>

the loan. The allowance for credit losses is estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral of the loan is collateral dependent. A specific allowance
for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the loan collateral, less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the
loan. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no loans were impaired or past due. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A general allowance for loan loss is
established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowances, future
adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them. There was no general allowance for loan loss at December 31, 2020 or 2019. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company held no restructured loans. Should the Company hold any troubled debt, the Company may
modify the terms of a loan by adjusting the interest rate, extending the maturity date, or both. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company accrues interest income on
impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible, assuming it is delinquent less than 180 days and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Interest income is recognized on impaired mortgage loans upon
receipt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The credit quality indicator for the Company’s mortgage loans is a risk-rated measure based on the borrowers’ ability
to pay and the value of the underlying collateral. The Commercial Mortgage Loan risk rating is related to an increasing likelihood of loss, with lower quality ratings representing the category in which losses may be expected. It is used in measuring
relative risk for the AVR calculation. The statement value of the Company’s mortgage loans, net of allowances for credit losses, by credit quality indicator as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: </P>

appropriate. The Company has not incurred any losses on derivative financial instruments due to counterparty nonperformance. The above derivatives are traded on organized exchanges, which require margin deposits and guarantee the execution of
trades, thereby mitigating potential credit risk. At December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash collateral from counterparties related to organized exchanges. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.3 million in cash collateral from

instruments based on specified prices, yields or indexes. Futures contracts provide returns based upon a specified index or interest rate applied to a notional amount. The Company uses futures to hedge exposures in annuity and life contracts. Daily
cash settlement of variation margins is required for futures contracts and is based on the changes in daily prices. The final settlement of futures contracts is in cash. </P>

Company also uses equity index options. Index option contracts provide returns at specified or optional dates based on a specified index applied to the option’s notional amount. The Company purchases and writes (sells) option contracts
primarily to reduce market risk associated with certain annuity and life contracts. When the Company purchases/sells option contracts at specific prices, it is required to pay/receive a premium to/from the counterparties. The amount of premium
paid/received is based on the number of contracts purchased/sold, the specified price and the maturity date of the contract. The Company pays/receives cash equal to the premium of purchased/written options when the contract is established. Premiums
paid are reported as a derivative asset and premiums received are reported as a derivative liability. The change in the fair value of option contracts is reported as change in surplus, with an adjustment to derivatives. If the option is exercised,
the Company receives/pays cash equal to the product of the number of contracts and the specified price in the contract with the gain or loss on settlement reported in realized gain or loss. If the options are not exercised and the contracts expire,
then no additional cash is exchanged and the remaining book value is offset to realized gain or loss. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Swaps </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company employs interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to investments purchased to support annuity contracts. An interest
rate swap is an agreement between two counterparties in which one stream of future interest payments is exchanged for another. Interest rate swaps usually involve the exchange of a fixed interest rate for a floating rate, or vice versa, to reduce or
increase exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, or to obtain a marginally lower interest rate. Swaps provide returns at the reset dates based on respective interest rates applied to the notional amount with the net difference in resulting
interest payments settled between the counterparties. The Company purchases/sells swap contracts at specific prices and pays/receives a premium to/from the counterparties. The amount of premium paid/received is based on the number of contracts
purchased/sold and the specified price based on the interest rates used and other terms of the contract. The Company pays/receives cash equal to the premium of the purchased/written swap when the contract is established. Premiums paid are reported
as a derivative asset and premiums received are reported as a derivative liability. The change in the fair value of the swap is reported as change in surplus, with an adjustment to derivatives. Cash flows received/paid at the reset dates are
reported in net investment income and consist of any differences in the amounts of contractual interest calculated due to the respective counterparties based on changes in interest rates. Swaps usually terminate upon expiration and the remaining
book value is offset to realized gain or loss. If terminated through sale, the difference between consideration received or paid and the remaining book value is recorded to realized gain or loss. </P>

products in 2017 and 2006, respectively. The assets and liabilities of variable life policies and variable annuity contracts are recorded as assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts and are legally insulated from the General Account,
excluding any purchase payments or transfers directed by the contract holder to earn a fixed rate of return which are included in the Company’s General Account assets. The legal insulation of the Separate Accounts assets prevents such assets
from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the General Account. Separate Accounts which contain variable annuity and variable life business are unit investment trusts registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). The results of the Separate Accounts related to variable annuity and certain variable life business are reinsured to ALIC pursuant to a modified coinsurance agreement. Other variable life business has been separately reinsured to
GILICO pursuant to a modified coinsurance agreement and certain variable life mortality risks have been reinsured to another counterparty pursuant to a Monthly Renewable Term (“MRT”) agreement. </P>

achieved from the types of investments chosen. The net investment experience of the Separate Accounts is credited directly to the contract holder and can be favorable or unfavorable. The assets of each portfolio are held separately from the other
portfolios and each has distinct investment objectives and policies. Absent any contract provision wherein the Company provides a guarantee, the contract holders of the variable annuity and variable life products bear the investment risk that
Separate Accounts’ funds may not meet their stated investment objectives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The assets legally insulated and not legally insulated from

</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The availability of observable inputs varies by instrument. In situations where fair value is based on internally developed pricing models
or inputs that are unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is typically greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In many
instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for
many instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The
Company gains assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued through the execution of various processes and controls designed to ensure the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies, including
inputs and assumptions, and compliance with accounting standards. For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company’s processes and controls are designed to ensure that the valuation methodologies are appropriate
and consistently applied, the inputs and assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded. For example, on a continuing basis, the Company assesses the reasonableness
of individual fair values that have stale security prices or that exceed certain thresholds as compared to previous fair values received from valuation service providers or brokers or derived from internal models. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies, processes and controls of valuation service providers. In addition,
the Company may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. The Company performs ongoing price validation
procedures such as backtesting of actual sales, which corroborate the various inputs used in internal models to market observable data. When fair value determinations are expected to be more variable, the Company validates them through reviews by
members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investment transactions. There were no significant changes made in valuation techniques during 2020 or 2019. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may reclassify assets reported at fair value between levels of the SSAP No. 100 fair value hierarchy if appropriate based on
changes in the quality of valuation inputs available during a reporting period. The policy governing when these transfers are recognized did not change during 2020 or 2019. There are no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during 2020 or 2019 for
assets measured at fair value. </P>

estimated fair value of its financial instruments are summarized below: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Cash and short-term investments</B> – The Company believes
that due to the short-term nature of certain assets, the carrying value approximates fair value. Cash and short-term investments include money market instruments, highly liquid debt instruments and certain other investments. Certain money market
instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Bonds and redeemable preferred stock</B> – The fair values of the Company’s public fixed maturity securities are generally based
on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Prices for each security are generally sourced from multiple pricing vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The
Company ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type. The pricing hierarchy is updated for new financial products and recent pricing experience with various vendors. Consistent
with the fair value hierarchy described above, securities with validated quotes from pricing services are generally reflected within Level 2, as they are primarily based on observable pricing for similar assets and/or other market observable inputs.
Typical inputs used by these pricing services include but are not limited to reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids, offers, and/or estimated cash flow, market activity or other inputs observable in the market. The Company may
challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service or classify the securities as Level 3. If the pricing service updates the price to be more consistent with the presented market observations, the security remains within Level 2.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Indicative broker quotes are also used to determine fair value in circumstances where vendor pricing is not available, or where the
Company ultimately concludes that pricing information received from independent pricing services is not reflective of market activity. If the Company concludes the values from both pricing services and brokers are not reflective of market activity,
pricing overrides may be used. Internally developed valuations are generally included in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fair
value of private fixed maturities and redeemable preferred stock, which are comprised of investments in private placement securities 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 industry sector of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. Since most private placements are valued using standard market observable inputs and inputs derived from, or
corroborated by, market observable data including observed prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues, they have been reflected within Level 2. 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. To the extent management determines that such unobservable inputs are significant
to the price of a security, a Level 3 classification is made. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Common stocks</B> – The Company’s investment in FHLB stock is
not practicable to measure fair value due to the redemption provisions. Therefore, carrying value approximates fair value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Mortgage
loans</B> – The fair value of most commercial mortgage loans is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate plus an appropriate credit spread for similar quality loans. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Derivatives</B> – The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded
derivatives. </P>

assets consist of investments in surplus notes as well as limited partnerships and collateral loans. Investments in surplus notes are 144A institutionally traded private placements. Pricing is readily available from multiple pricing sources and
therefore these are reflected in Level 2. Collateral loans are shown as Level 3 based on discounted cash flows and value of underlying collateral which may utilize unobservable inputs. Limited partnerships are reported at NAV, where available, or
Level 3 based on their reliance on unobservable inputs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Contract loans</B> – The fair value of contract loans is determined by
estimating future policy loan cash flows and discounting the cash flows at the current loan coupon rate. As a result, the carrying value of the contract loans approximates the fair value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Separate Accounts</B> – Separate account assets and liabilities consist principally of investments in mutual fund shares. The fair

such time the member with such losses or tax attributes could have otherwise used its losses or tax attributes on a separate company basis. In this regard, any benefit of filing a consolidated tax return as compared to the sum of the tax liabilities
computed on a separate entity basis shall reside at the Company until such time as payment is required under the Tax Allocation Agreement. The Company is also responsible for preparing the group’s tax returns and controlling tax audits.
Intercompany tax balances are settled on a quarterly basis and a final true up is made after the filing of the federal income tax return, as prescribed by the terms of the Tax Allocation Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions for its federal income tax return that would be material to its financial
condition, results of income, or cash flows. Therefore, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax contingencies/benefits at December 31, 2020 or 2019. As of December 31, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions for
which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase within 12 months of the reporting date. No amounts have been accrued for interest or penalties. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The application of SSAP No. 101 requires a company to evaluate the recoverability of DTAs and to establish a valuation allowance if
necessary to reduce the DTAs to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized. Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. In evaluating the
need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors including: (1) the nature of the DTAs and DTLs; (2) whether they are ordinary or capital; (3) the timing of their reversal; (4) taxable income in prior carryback
years as well as projected taxable earnings exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; (5) the length of time carryovers can be utilized; (6) unique tax rules that would impact the utilization of the DTAs and
(7) any tax planning strategies that the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Effective April 1, 2014, the Company ceased offering Allstate Advantage Accounts (“Allstate Advantage”). Those retained asset
accounts previously offered through the Allstate Advantage Account remain reinsured to ALIC. The Allstate Advantage accounts were offered to beneficiaries of certain life policies when the death benefit proceeds payable were $50,000 or greater, and
for certain annuity contracts for proceeds of $10,000 or greater. The retained asset accounts are reported on a direct basis and fully reinsured. The Allstate Advantage accounts enabled beneficiaries to deposit benefit proceeds into an
interest-bearing checking account in the beneficiaries’ name at the Northern Trust Company. The beneficiaries may draw upon these funds at their discretion, including an immediate withdrawal of the funds in full. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the
Allstate Advantage accounts earned interest at an average interest rate of 0.5%. These accounts are not FDIC insured. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company also
offers to beneficiaries of certain life policies the option to deposit proceeds into a deposit fund, which continues to credit interest in accordance with the terms of the original contract. The interest rate credited to these deposit funds ranged
from 2.0% to 4.0% in 2020 and 2019, respectively. </P>

policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Certain differences exist between NAIC SAP and U.S. GAAP, which are presumed to be material. For a summary of such differences, see Note 1 in the Notes to Statutory Statements.
Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements. If management determines that modifications in assumptions and estimates are appropriate given current facts and circumstances, the
Company’s results of operations and financial position as reported in the Statutory Financial Statements could change significantly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management

supplementary contracts are calculated using the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method, except variable annuities which use the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method for Variable Annuities. The valuation interest
assumptions follow the Standard Valuation Law and vary by the contracts’ characteristics and issue year. Policy reserves on life contracts are based on statutory mortality and valuation interest rates using the Commissioner’s Reserve
Valuation Method without consideration of withdrawals. The valuation interest and mortality assumptions follow the Standard Valuation Law and vary by the contracts’ characteristics and issue year. Valuation methods provide, in the aggregate,
reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum of guaranteed policy cash values or the amount required by law. Accident and health benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using
specified statutory interest rates and mortality. Morbidity assumptions are based on Company experience. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Liability for deposit-type contracts represents

estimates of payments to be made on life and health insurance contracts for reported claims and claims adjustment expenses. A liability is also held for claims adjustment expenses incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. These
liabilities are determined using case basis evaluations and statistical analyses and represent estimates of the ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not paid. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary with any
adjustments reflected in current operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Policy liabilities and accruals are based on the various estimates discussed above. Although the adequacy of

the impairment of loans individually for all loans in the portfolio. The Company estimates the fair value of the underlying collateral using internal valuations generally based on discounted cash flow analyses. The Company estimates an allowance for
losses representing potential credit losses embedded in the mortgage loans portfolio. The estimate is based on a consistently applied analysis of the loan portfolio and takes into consideration all available information, including industry,
geographical, economic and political factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Income Taxes </I></B></P>

operations. The Company provides for federal and state income taxes currently payable, as well as those deferred due to temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the
temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are limited to: (1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through capital loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse
by the end of the subsequent calendar year; (2) the lesser of the amount of adjusted gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized within three years of the balance sheet date or 15% of capital and surplus, excluding any net deferred tax
assets, electronic data equipment processing or operating software and any net positive goodwill, provided certain risk-based capital thresholds are met and (3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against
existing gross deferred tax liabilities after considering the character (i.e., ordinary vs. capital) of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The remaining deferred tax assets are nonadmitted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Valuation allowances are established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will
not be realized. Management considers all available evidence including past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years, forecasted earnings, future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
The Company’s accounting for income taxes represents management’s best estimate of the tax consequences of various events and transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities, and in evaluating the
Company’s tax positions including evaluating uncertainties under the relevant statutory guidance. The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes and recognizes reserves for income tax contingencies in accordance with SSAP
No. 101, “Income Taxes”. Under the guidance, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be
recorded in the financial statements. The Company’s liability for income taxes includes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and interest that relate to tax years still subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing
authorities. We do not anticipate any significant changes within the next 12 months to our total unrecognized tax benefits related to tax years for which the statute of limitations has not expired. </P>

SAP, reserves for contingencies are required to be established when the future event is probable and its impact can be reasonably estimated, such as in connection with an unresolved legal matter. The initial reserve reflects management’s best

related to the increase in FHLB related borrowing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cash and short-term investments increased by $312.0 million from $250.8 million at
December 31, 2019 to $562.8 million at December 31, 2020. The amount invested in cash and short-term investments fluctuates based on liquidity needs and the timing of investment decisions. Overall, the Company has been working to
align the portfolio consistent with Kuvare’s investment strategy and the increase in cash and short-term investments is related to the timing of being able to reinvest these assets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Other invested assets increased by $119.4 million from $66.4 million at December 31, 2019 to $185.8 million at December 31, 2020.
Other invested assets increased as a result of the Company’s efforts to increase investment yield to align with Kuvare’s investment strategy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Deferred premiums and other assets</B> decreased by $20.5 million from $103.9 million at December 31, 2019 to $83.4 million at
December 31, 2020. This is mainly due to decreases in reinsurance recoverables related to the timing and severity of losses received close to year end as well as decreases in deferred premiums driven by the Company’s Post Level Term
business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Separate Account assets and liabilities</B> increased by $0.2 billion from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019 to
$1.7 billion at December 31, 2020. This increase is primarily driven by equity market appreciation in 2020. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The assets of Separate Accounts are
carried at fair value for NAIC SAP. Separate Accounts liabilities represent the contractholders’ claims to the related assets and are carried at the fair value of the assets. In the event the asset values of certain contractholder accounts are
projected to be below the value guaranteed by the Company, a liability is established through a charge to earnings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lincoln Benefit’s variable
annuity business and a material portion of the variable life business are reinsured by ALIC and GILICO. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, all assets of the Separate Accounts that support the variable annuity and variable life business are
legally insulated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Liabilities </U></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Total
liabilities increased by $2.4 billion, from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2019 to $11.2 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase consists of the following components: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reserves for policy benefits</B> increased by $0.9 billion from $4.4 billion at December 31, 2019 to $5.3 billion at December 31,
2020. Such liabilities are established to meet the estimated future obligations of policies <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-force.</FONT> The increase in Reserves for policy benefits is mainly related to the increase in FHLB borrowings which are
accounted for as deposit type contract liabilities, the increase in deferred annuities from the COUNTRY Coinsurance Agreement, but offset by the deferred annuities ceded related to the Kuvare Bermuda Coinsurance Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reinsurance payable</B> decreased by $42.5 million from $48.3 million at December 31, 2019 to $5.8 million at December 31, 2020.
The decrease reflects the payment of $35 million which was owed to GILICO at December 31, 2019. </P>

asset balances as a result of increased FHLB related borrowing as well as increased IMR amortization related to the COUNTRY Coinsurance agreement described above. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded</B> are $(77.3) million, $(686.2) million and $(174.9) million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019
and 2018. Reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded include reserve changes related to the Company’s modified coinsurance agreements on its life and annuity business. The significant change in the reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded in 2020
compared to 2019 is due to the 2019 adjustments related to the Hannover Recapture. The significant decrease in reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded in 2019 is as a result of the Hannover Recapture. Reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded
decreased in 2018 primarily related to slowdown in the runoff of the variable annuity business and deferred annuity products. </P>

$702.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This line item represents benefit payments on life insurance and annuity products. The increase in 2020 is primarily related to favorable mortality compared
to 2019 offset by a reduction in benefits ceded to Hannover due to recapture in 2020. The decrease in 2019 is primarily related to the GILICO Coinsurance Agreement and lower surrenders on life and annuity business partially offset by higher claims
from unfavorable mortality. Benefit payments to policyholders and beneficiaries decreased in 2018 due to a decrease in surrender and annuity benefits. Surrenders decreased primarily on market-value and equity-indexed annuities resulting from lower
equity market performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Net changes to policy benefit reserves </B>are $(5.1) million, $(1,707.8) million and $(484.6) million for the years ended
December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 is primarily the result of higher ceded reserves in 2019 as result of the GILICO Coinsurance Agreement. </P>

2019 and 2018, respectively. These expenses are comprised of general operating expenses, premium taxes, investment income ceded on reinsurance and IMR ceded. The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 is related to $101.7 million of IMR ceded as
part of the Kuvare Bermuda Coinsurance Agreement. The increase in 2019 is related to higher investment income ceded under the GILICO Coinsurance Agreement offset by lower commissions and operating expenses. The decline in 2018 is primarily as a
result of lower direct life and annuity premiums and the continued runoff of the business while operating expenses decreased primarily as a function of lower third-party administrative expenses as well as lower compensation costs. </P>

2018, respectively. The net realized losses in 2020 are the result of realized gains on bonds as the Company has been working to align the portfolio with Kuvare’s investment strategy, offset by an increase in capital gains tax as well as an
increase in transfer of these gains to IMR. The net realized gains in 2019 are primarily related to capital gains generated from the GILICO Coinsurance Agreement and derivative gains offset by lower capital gains tax and credit related capital
losses. The net realized gains in 2018 are related to asset-liability management initiatives to improve yields and better match assets and liabilities. </P>

$794.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in unrealized gains is primarily due to a decrease in interest rates. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-year</FONT> treasury yield curve rates at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a regulated insurance company, material transactions with related persons are subject to review and approval by Lincoln Benefit’s
applicable insurance regulatory authority to confirm, among other things, that the terms of such transactions are fair and reasonable, that charges or fees for services performed are reasonable, and that expenses incurred and payment received is
allocated to Lincoln Benefit in conformity with customary insurance accounting practices consistently applied. All agreements with related persons are also reviewed by Kuvare’s Office of the General Counsel to determine whether an actual
conflict of interest exists with respect to such agreements. This process is documented in an internal procedure that captures the review and approval process of all intercompany agreements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While there is no formal process for the review and approval of related person transactions between unaffiliated entities specific to Lincoln
Benefit, all directors, officers and employees of Lincoln Benefit are subject to LBL HoldCo, Inc.’s Code of Conduct and its Conflict of Interest Guideline. LBL HoldCo’s Code of Conduct includes a written conflict of interest policy that
was adopted by the Board of Directors of LBL HoldCo, Inc., the indirect parent company of Lincoln Benefit, and applies to all subsidiaries, including Lincoln Benefit. Any potential relationship or activity that could impair independent thinking and
judgment, including holding a financial interest in a business venture that is similar to Lincoln Benefit and/or LBL HoldCo, Inc., or in a business that has a relationship with either entity, is required to be disclosed to the Office of
Kuvare’s General Counsel. The Law Department works, as may be necessary, with Compliance and the Audit Committee to determine whether an actual conflict of interest existed, and whether any remedial action is warranted. All directors, officers
and employees are required to sign a Code of Conduct certification and complete a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire annually. </P>

The waiver would apply to any RMD due from such an arrangement in 2020, even RMDs with respect to the 2019 tax year that are due in 2020. For example, if an IRA owner turned age 70½ in 2019, they owe an RMD for the 2019 tax year but can wait until 4/1/20 to take it. If they did not take that first RMD in 2019, the bill waives it, along with the requirement to take their second RMD (for the 2020 tax year) by the end of 2020. The relief applies both to lifetime and post-death RMDs. In that regard, if the post-death 5-year rule applies, the 5-year period is determined without regard to calendar year 2020 and thus, the 5 year rule is extended by one year. It is unclear whether this treatment applies for the 10-year period imposed by the SECURE Act. Although also unclear, the 1-year election rule for life expectancy payments by an eligible beneficiary may be extended based on the position the IRS took in Notice 2009-82.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Withdrawals from Employer Plans and IRAs, including Roth IRAs</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Relief is provided for “coronavirus-related distributions” from qualified plans and IRAs.

The endorsements required to qualify these annuities under the Code may limit or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. The maximum age of the oldest Contract Owner and Annuitant cannot exceed age 90 as of the date we receive the completed application.

Changing ownership of this contract may cause adverse tax consequences and may not be allowed under qualified plans.

If your Contract was issued under a plan qualified under Section 403(b), 408 or 408A of the Code, you must be the Annuitant. If the Contract is a non-qualified Contract, you may also designate a Joint Annuitant, who is a second person on whose life annuity payments depend. Additional restrictions may apply in the case of Qualified Plans. If you are not the Annuitant and the Annuitant dies before annuity payments begin, then either you become the new Annuitant or you must name another person as the new Annuitant.

Over time, the variations in each Sub-Account’s investment results will shift the balance of your Contract Value allocations. Under the Portfolio Rebalancing feature, each period, if the allocations change from your desired percentages, we will automatically transfer your Contract Value, including new Purchase Payments (unless you specify otherwise), back to the percentages you specify. Portfolio Rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">You may choose to have rebalances made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

A one-time request to rebalance the amounts allocated to the Sub-Accounts is not part of a Portfolio Rebalancing program and is subject to all of the requirements that are applicable to transfers. We will automatically terminate this program if you request any transfers outside the Portfolio Rebalancing program. If you wish to resume Portfolio Rebalancing after it has been canceled, then you must complete a new Portfolio Rebalancing form and send it to our home office.

Please call or write us for a copy of the request form. If you stop Portfolio Rebalancing, you must wait 30 days to begin again. In your request, you may specify a date for your first rebalancing. If you specify a date fewer than 30 days after your Issue Date, your first rebalance will be delayed one month. If you request Portfolio Rebalancing in your Contract application and do not specify a date for your first rebalancing, your first rebalance will occur one period after the Issue Date. For example, if you specify quarterly rebalancing, your first rebalance will occur three months after your Issue Date. Otherwise, your first rebalancing will occur twenty-five days after we receive your completed request form. All subsequent rebalancing will occur at the intervals you have specified on the day of the month that coincides with the same day of the month as your Contract Anniversary Date. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Generally, you may change the allocation percentages, frequency, or choice of Sub-Accounts at any time.

The amount of your Variable Annuity Payments will depend upon the investment results of the Sub-Accounts you have selected, any premium taxes, the age and sex of the Annuitant, and the Annuity Option chosen. We guarantee that the Payments will not be affected by (1) actual mortality experience and (2) the amount of our administration expenses. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We cannot predict the total amount of your Variable Annuity payments.

As a general rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower periodic payments, all other things being equal. For example, if a life Annuity Option with no minimum guaranteed payment period is chosen, the Variable Annuity payments will be greater than Variable Annuity payments under an Annuity Option for a minimum specified period and guaranteed thereafter for life. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The investment results of the Sub-Accounts to which you have allocated your Contract Value will also affect the amount of your periodic payment.

A trust named beneficiary, including a grantor trust, has two options for receiving any death benefits: 1) a lump sum payment, or 2) payment deferred up to five years from date of death. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Diversification Requirements.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">    For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Separate Account must be “adequately diversified” consistent with standards under Treasury Department regulations.

As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable year. Although Lincoln Benefit does not have control over the Portfolios or their investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Ownership Treatment. </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">   The IRS has stated that a contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if he possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which investor control of the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in private and published rulings in which it found that Contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, if your contract offers more than twenty (20) investment alternatives you have the choice to allocate premiums and contract values among a broader selection of investment alternatives than described in such rulings. You may be able to transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Separate Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Separate Account assets would be includible in your gross income. Lincoln Benefit does not know what standards will be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Separate Account. However, we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful. </font></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-right:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cost Basis. </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Generally, the cost basis in an annuity not associated with a qualified retirement plan is the amount you pay into your annuity, or into annuity exchanged for your annuity, on an after-tax basis less any withdrawals of such payments. Cost basis for a qualified retirement plan is provided only in limited circumstances, such as for contributions to a Roth IRA or nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA. We do not track cost basis for qualified retirement plans, which is the responsibility of the Contract Owner.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Taxation of Partial and Full Withdrawals.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">    If you make a partial withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount you receive will be taxed as ordinary income, rather than as return of cost basis, without regard to surrender charges, until all gain has been withdrawn. If you make a full withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds your cost basis in the Contract. An exception to this treatment exists for contracts purchased prior to August 14, 1982. Withdrawals are treated as a return of cost basis in the Annuity first until Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, are withdrawn. Moreover, income allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, is not subject to the 10% tax penalty.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Taxation of Annuity Payments.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">    Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity payments received from a Non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your cost basis in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period. The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio of the cost basis in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from taxable income is determined by dividing the cost basis in the Contract by the total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable after the total amount of the cost basis in the Contract is excluded using these ratios. If any variable payment is less than the excludable amount you should contact a tax advisor to determine how to report any unrecovered investment. The federal tax treatment of annuity payments is unclear in some respects. As a result, if the IRS should provide further guidance, it is possible that the amount we calculate and report to the IRS as taxable could be different. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount may be allowed as a deduction for your last taxable year. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, this deduction is suspended until after 2025.</font></div><div style="height:36pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">34</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:36pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Maximum Annuity Date. </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">You must commence annuity payments no later than the first day of the calendar month following the maximum Annuity Date for your Annuity.

Similarly, if you are married at the time of your death, federal law may require all or a portion of the Death Benefit to be paid to your spouse, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary.

Generally, this means that you will receive a reduced payment during your life and, upon your death, your spouse will receive at least one-half of what you were receiving for life. You may elect to receive another income option if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QJSA. If your spouse consents to the alternative form of payment, your spouse may not receive any benefits from the plan upon your death. Federal law also requires that the plan pay a Death Benefit to your spouse if you are married and die before you begin receiving your benefit. This benefit must be available in the form of an Annuity for your spouse’s lifetime and is called a “qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity” (QPSA).

The individual situation of each contract owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of contract proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes. Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a generation-skipping transfer (“GST”) tax when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS. Additionally, if you transfer your Annuity to another person for less than adequate consideration, there may be federal or state income tax consequences.  The potential application of these taxes underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Same Sex Marriages, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#212121;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Prior to a 2013 Supreme Court decision, </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">and consistent with Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same sex marriages under state law were not recognized as same sex marriages for purposes of federal law.

a withdrawal. The 5% assumed Guaranteed Interest Rate is the rate required to be used in the “Summary of Expenses.” In these examples, the withdrawal occurs one year after the Issue Date. The Market Value Adjustment operates in a similar manner for transfers, except that there is no free amount for transfers. No Withdrawal Charge applies to transfers. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Assuming that the entire $40,000.00 Purchase Payment is allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account for the Guarantee Period specified above, at the end of the five-year Guarantee Period the Contract Value would be $51,051.26.
