Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors of National Integrity Life Insurance Company and
The Contract Owners of Separate Account I of National Integrity Life Insurance Company

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in Appendix A that comprise Separate Account I of National Integrity Life Insurance Company (the Separate Account), as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in Appendix A, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2023, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in Appendix A, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP
We have served as the Separate Account’s auditor since 1993.

Separate Account I

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Separate Account’s investments are held at fair value. Fair value is the price that the Separate Account would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair Value is established using a three-level hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assessment regarding the assumptions market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Separate Account’s investments are assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs that are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in active markets.
    Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology are observable, directly or indirectly.
    Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity.

The Separate Account’s investments are valued as Level 1. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 during the year. The Separate Account’s policy is to recognize the transfers in and transfers out of levels at the beginning of the annual reporting period.

Unit Value

Unit values for the subaccounts are computed at the end of each business day. The unit value is equal to the unit value for the preceding business day multiplied by a net investment factor. This net investment factor is determined based on the net asset value of the Underlying Fund, reinvested dividends and capital gains, and the daily asset charge for the mortality and expense risk and certain administrative charges, as applicable.

Taxes

Operations of the Separate Account are included in the income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Separate Account is not taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the IRC. Under the provisions of the policies, the Company has the right to charge the Separate Account for federal income tax attributable to the Separate Account. No charge is currently being made against the Separate Account for such tax since, under current tax law, the Company pays no tax on investment income and capital gains reflected in variable life insurance policy reserves. However, the Company retains the right to charge for any federal income tax incurred, which is attributable to the Separate Account if the law is changed. Charges for state and local taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate Account may also be made.

5. Financial Highlights

A summary of net assets, unit values and units outstanding for variable annuity contracts, investment income and expense ratios, excluding expenses of the underlying funds and total returns are presented for each period ended December 31. The ranges of lowest to highest unit values and total return are based on the product groupings that represent lowest and highest expense ratio amounts. The first unit value presented in the range of each subaccount within the table corresponds to the highest expense ratio for each subaccount presented within the table. The first total return presented in the range of each subaccount within the table corresponds to the highest expense ratio for each subaccount presented within the table. Therefore, some individual contract ratios are not within the ranges presented. The financial highlights include historical highlights for funds that may no longer be offered in the current year statements.

** Investment income ratio amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the Underlying Fund net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk and administrative charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Underlying Fund in which the subaccounts invest. Therefore, the Investment Income Ratio is greatly affected by the amount of subaccount assets that are present on specific dividend record dates.

*** Expense ratio amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the subaccount, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk and administrative charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.

**** Total return amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the fair value of the Underlying Fund, which includes expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. The ratio does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Subaccounts with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
National Integrity Life Insurance Company
Opinion
We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of National Integrity Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2023, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services, Division of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the
1


United States of America. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between these statutory accounting practices described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services, Division of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
2


Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
National Integrity Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrity Life Insurance Company (Integrity), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company (Western and Southern). The Company, domiciled in the state of New York and currently licensed in eight states and the District of Columbia, specializes in the asset accumulation business with particular emphasis on retirement savings and investment products. The Company also offers interest-sensitive life insurance products. For the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 98.1% of the gross premiums and annuity considerations for the Company were derived from New York. Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc. (Fort Washington), a registered investment adviser, is a nonlife insurance subsidiary of Western and Southern and is the investment manager for the Company.
State regulatory authorities have powers relating to granting and revoking licenses to transact business, the licensing of agents, the regulation of premium rates and trade practices, the form and content of insurance policies, the content of advertising material, financial statements and the nature of permitted practices.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of statutory-basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services, Division of Insurance (the Department). The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP or SSAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of New York. These practices differ in some respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The more significant differences follow.
Investments
Investments in debt securities and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on the NAIC rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in the statement of operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) for those designated as available-for-sale.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)

All single-class and multiclass mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using the retrospective method. The prospective method is used to determine amortized cost for securities that experience a decline that is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Securities that are in an unrealized loss position which the Company intends to sell, or does not have the intent and ability to hold until recovery, are written down to fair value as a realized loss. Securities that are in an unrealized loss position which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until recovery are written down to the extent the present value of expected future cash flows using the security’s effective yield is lower than the amortized cost. For GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, CBO, CDO, CLO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the extent the present value of expected future cash flows using the security’s effective yield is lower than the amortized cost. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.
The Company monitors other investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Factors that management considers for each identified security include the following:
The extent the fair value has been below the book/adjusted carrying value;
The reasons for the decline in value;
Specific credit issues related to the issuer and current economic conditions, including the current and future impact of any specific events;
For structured investments (e.g., residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and other structured investments), factors such as overall deal structure and the Company’s position within the structure, quality of underlying collateral, delinquencies and defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments and cumulative loss projections are considered;
For all equity securities and other debt securities with credit-related declines in fair value, the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its value to book/adjusted carrying value; and
For all other debt securities with interest-related declines in fair value, the Company’s intent to sell the security before recovery of its book/adjusted carrying value.
If the decline is judged to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge to fair value is recorded as a net realized capital loss in the period the determination is made. Under GAAP, if the decline is judged to be other-than-temporary because the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or is more likely than not to be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, an impairment charge to fair value is recorded as a net realized capital loss. If the decline is judged to be other-than-temporary because the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security due to expected credit losses, an impairment charge is recorded to net realized capital loss as the difference between amortized cost and the net present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment.

Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally debt securities and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the individual security sold using the seriatim method. The net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the the statements of operations on a pretax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.
The asset valuation reserve (AVR) provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in capital and surplus. AVR is not recognized for GAAP.
Policy Acquisition Costs
The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, policy acquisition costs, related to traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance policies sold, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, would be deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves; for universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investments, mortality, and expense margins.
Nonadmitted Assets
Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted” (principally a portion of deferred tax assets), and other assets not specifically identified as admitted assets within the NAIC’s Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to accumulated surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheets.
Premiums and Benefits
Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, consist of the entire premium received, and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting, and credited directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium income. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.
Benefit Reserves
Certain policy reserves are calculated using statutorily prescribed interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

Reinsurance
A liability for reinsurance balances is required to be provided for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to those amounts are credited or charged directly to capital and surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.
Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP. Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not meeting a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. Deferred tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a time frame corresponding with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, including amounts established in accordance with the provision of SSAP No. 5R, plus 2) for entities who meet the required realization threshold in SSAP No. 101, the lesser of the remaining 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 processing equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities. The remaining deferred tax assets are nonadmitted. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not meeting a more-likely-than-not realization threshold.
Statements of Cash Flow
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding captions of cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Other significant statutory accounting practices follow.

Restricted Assets
The Company has assets pledged as collateral, or otherwise not exclusively under control of the Company, totaling $220.6 million and $174.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These assets are primarily collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). These restricted assets are discussed in more detail in their relevant section.
Investments
Debt securities, common stocks, preferred stocks, and short-term investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:
Debt securities not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the interest method.
Single-class and multiclass mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method including anticipated prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from Bloomberg and broker-dealer prepayment models or derived from empirical data and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities except securities that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and securities that are principal-only or interest-only, which are valued using the prospective method.
Unaffiliated common stocks, other than FHLB stock, are unrestricted and reported at fair value utilizing publicly quoted prices from third-party pricing services and the related unrealized capital gains and losses are reported in capital and surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes. FHLB stock is carried at cost and is restricted. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company owned $7.0 million and $8.5 million, of FHLB stock, respectively. The FHLB stock is held in conjunction with the issuance of deposit contracts to the FHLB. See Note 9 for further description.
Redeemable preferred stocks that have characteristics of debt securities and are rated as medium quality or better are reported or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Perpetual preferred stocks are valued at fair value, not exceeding any currently effective call price, utilizing publicly quoted prices from third-party pricing services and the related unrealized capital gains and losses are reported in capital and surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.
Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Joint ventures, partnerships, and limited liability companies are carried at the Company’s interest in the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee. Undistributed earnings allocated to the Company are reported in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses. Distributions from earnings of the investees are reported as net investment income when received. Because of the indirect nature of these
12

National Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
investments, there is an inherent reduction in transparency and liquidity and increased complexity in valuing the underlying investments. As a result, these investments are actively managed by the Company’s management via detailed evaluation of the investment performance relative to risk.
Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines foreclosure is probable, the impairment is other than temporary; the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized.
Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.
Debt securities and other loan interest are credited to income as it accrues. Dividends are recorded as income on ex-dividend dates. To the extent income is uncertain, due and accrued income is excluded and treated as nonadmitted through surplus.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.
Premiums
Life and accident and health premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.
Policy Reserves
Life and annuity reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash values or the amounts required by the Department. The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of life and annuity policy insureds and does not return any premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves. Policies issued subject to multiple table substandard extra premiums are valued on the standard reserve basis which recognizes the nonlevel incidence of the excess mortality costs. Additional reserves are established when the results of cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios indicate the need for such reserves, or the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in-force.
For policies issued in 2020 or after, life insurance reserves are developed using principle-based policyholder and asset assumptions with margins and floored at formulaic reserves based upon published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
The mean reserve method is used to adjust the calculated terminal reserve to the appropriate reserve at December 31. Mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the rated age and holding, in addition, one-half of the extra premium charge for the year. Policies issued after July 1 for substandard lives, are charged an extra premium plus the regular premium for the true age. Mean reserves are based on appropriate multiples of standard rates of mortality. An asset is recorded for deferred premiums net of loading to adjust the reserve for modal premium payments.
For substandard table ratings, mean reserves are based on 125% to 500% of standard mortality rates. For flat extra ratings, mean reserves are based on the standard or substandard mortality rates increased by 1 to 25 deaths per thousand.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, and tabular cost have been determined by formula as prescribed by the NAIC. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies was derived from basic data.
Variable annuities are reserved under VM-21 and are based on principle-based policyholder and asset assumptions with margins and floored at cash values and additional prescribed NY Regulation 213 methods and assumptions.
Contracts issued that do not incorporate mortality or morbidity risk, such as guaranteed interest contracts, are accounted for as deposit-type contracts. Amounts received as payments and amounts withdrawn on deposit-type contracts are recorded directly to the liability for deposit-type contracts.
The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process, and there can be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not exceed the Company’s policy reserves and have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Due to the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves, it has been necessary, and may over time continue to be necessary, to revise estimated future liabilities as reflected in the Company’s policy reserves.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.
Securities Lending
At December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had no securities on loan in the general and separate account, respectively. The Company has the ability to loan various debt securities, preferred stocks, and common stocks as part of a lending program administered by Deutsche Bank. The Company maintains effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continues to report such securities as invested assets in the balance sheets.
The Company requires at the initial transaction that the fair value of the cash collateral received must be equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The Company monitors the ratio of the fair value of the collateral to loaned securities to ensure it does not fall below 100%. If the fair value of the collateral falls below 100% of the fair value of the securities loaned, the Company nonadmits that portion of the

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
loaned security. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not nonadmit any portion of the loaned securities.
The Company reports all collateral on the balance sheet with an offsetting liability recognized for the obligation to return the collateral. Collateral for the securities lending program is managed by Deutsche Bank, an unaffiliated agent. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, total collateral, which approximated $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, was invested in cash equivalents and was included in securities lending reinvested collateral assets on the balance sheet.
At December 31, 2023, the collateral for all securities on loan could be requested to be returned on demand by the borrower. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the total collateral in the general account was $0.0 million and $0.0 million. The fair value of the total collateral in the separate account was $0.0 million and $0.0 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was all managed by an unaffiliated agent.
The Company does not accept collateral that is not permitted by contract or custom to sell or repledge. The Company does not have any securities lending transactions that extend beyond one year from the reporting date.
Separate Accounts
Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying balance sheets represent funds that are separately administered, principally for nonguaranteed variable annuity contracts and guaranteed market value adjustment annuity contracts. Assets held in the separate account supporting variable annuities are carried at fair value. Assets held in the separate account supporting market value adjusted annuities are carried at the general account basis. These separate account assets are considered legally insulated from the general account. Surrender charges collectible by the general account in the event of annuity contract surrenders are reported as a negative liability rather than an asset. Policy-related activity involving cash flow, such as premiums and benefits, are reported in the accompanying statements of operations in separate line items combined with related general account amounts. Investment income and interest credited on deposits held in guaranteed separate accounts are included in the accompanying statements of operations as a net amount included in net transfers to (from) separate accounts. The Company receives administrative fees for managing the nonguaranteed separate accounts and other fees for assuming mortality and certain expense risks.
Federal Income Taxes
Western and Southern files a consolidated income tax return with its eligible subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Company. The provision for federal income taxes is allocated to the Company using a separate return method based upon a written tax-sharing agreement. The benefits from losses of subsidiaries and affiliates, which are utilized in the consolidated return, will be retained by the subsidiaries and affiliates under the tax-sharing agreement. Western and Southern pays all federal income taxes due for all members of the consolidated group. The Company will then charge or reimburse, as the case may be, the members of the group an amount consistent with the method described in the tax-sharing agreement.

The Company includes interest and penalties in the federal income tax line on the statements of operations.
Accounting Changes
In 2023, the Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group issued INT 23-01 Net Negative (Disallowed) Interest Maintenance Reserve that allows for admission of IMR in a net asset position, which was previously non-admitted, if certain criteria are met. The amount allowed to be admitted is limited to 10% of an entity's adjusted capital and surplus. Having adopted this interpretation, the Company has admitted $7.1 million of general account IMR assets and $5.8 million of separate account IMR assets.
The Company did not have any material accounting changes in 2022 or 2021.
Subsequent Events
The Company recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. For nonrecognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Company is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements on April 17, 2024.
Note 4 describes events that occurred subsequent to the December 31, 2023, financial statement date; the Company purchased equity securities from Western and Southern.

3. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Included in various investment-related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value such as when impaired or, for certain bonds and preferred stocks, when carried at the lower of cost or market.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and to estimate the fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value. Certain financial instruments, particularly policyholder liabilities other than investment-type contracts, are excluded from this fair value discussion.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on the following hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of levels at the beginning of the quarterly reporting period.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets and liabilities primarily include exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds, including those which are part of the Company’s separate account assets.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities primarily include municipal bonds, preferred stock, NAIC 6 industrial and miscellaneous bonds, initially rated NAIC 6 residential mortgage-backed securities, and surplus notes, including those which are part of the Company's separate account assets. The Company determined fair value through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company's Level 3 assets and liabilities include common stock being priced by utilizing broker quotes.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including discount rates, estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses.
For Level 3 investments, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument.
Certain investments utilize net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient for fair value. These investments are reported separately from the hierarchy. Common stock utilizing NAV consists of an investment in a business development corporation as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. The investment can be sold or transferred with prior consent from the corporation. The NAV for this investment is $15.00. The Company does not intend to sell any investments utilizing NAV.

As described below, certain fair values are determined through the use of third-party pricing services. Management does not adjust prices received from third parties; however, the Company does analyze the third-party pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and performs additional evaluation to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company performs annual due diligence of third-party pricing services, which includes assessing the vendor’s valuation qualifications, control environment, analysis of asset class-specific valuation methodologies and understanding of market observable assumptions and unobservable assumptions, if any, employed in the valuation methodology. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company’s business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below. The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies utilized by the Company for assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value.
Debt and Equity Securities
The fair values of debt securities and asset/mortgage-backed securities have been determined through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs. Private placement securities trading in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information are valued using either broker quotes or by discounting the expected cash flows using current market-consistent rates applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of each security.
The fair values of actively traded equity securities and exchange traded funds (including exchange traded funds with debt like characteristics) have been determined utilizing publicly quoted prices obtained from third-party pricing services. The fair values of certain equity securities for which no publicly quoted prices are available have been determined through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs. Actively traded mutual funds are valued using the net asset values of the funds. The fair value of equity securities included in Level 3 has been determined by utilizing broker quotes.
Mortgage Loans
The fair values for mortgage loans, consisting principally of commercial real estate loans, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans collateralized by properties with similar investment risk. The fair values for mortgage loans in default are established at the lower of the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell or the carrying amount of the loan.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are based on quoted market prices or stated amounts.
Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral Assets
The fair values of securities lending reinvested collateral assets are determined through the use of third-party sources utilizing publicly quoted prices.

Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include surplus debentures for which fair values have been determined through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs.
Assets Held in Separate Accounts
Assets held in separate accounts primarily include debt securities, equity securities, mutual funds, surplus notes, and mortgage loans. The fair values of these assets have been determined using the same methodologies as similar assets held in the general account.
Life and Annuity Reserves for Investment-Type Contracts and Deposit Fund Liabilities
The fair value of liabilities for investment-type contracts is based on the present value of estimated liability cash flows, which are discounted using rates that incorporate risk-free rates and margins for the Company’s own credit spread and the riskiness of cash flows. Key assumptions to the cash flow model include the timing of policyholder withdrawals and the level of interest credited to contract balances. Fair values for insurance reserves are not required to be disclosed. However, the estimated fair values of all insurance reserves and investment contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk.
Securities Lending Liability
The liability represents the Company’s obligation to return collateral related to securities lending transactions. The liability is short-term in nature and therefore, the fair value of the obligation approximates the carrying amount.
Separate Account Liabilities
Certain separate account liabilities are classified as investment contracts and are carried at an amount equal to the related separate account assets. Carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value as it represents the exit value as evidenced by withdrawal transactions between contract holders and the Company.

The Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was enacted on August 16, 2022, and included a provision for a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT), effective in 2023, that is based on the adjusted financial statement income set forth on the applicable financial statement of an “applicable corporation.” The controlled group of corporations of which the reporting entity is a member has determined that it is not an “applicable corporation” for purposes of CAMT during the reporting period, and is not liable for the CAMT.

7. Capital and Surplus
The Company is required by statutory regulations to meet minimum risk-based capital standards. Risk-based capital is a method of measuring the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital.
The ability of the Company to pay dividends is limited by state insurance laws. Under New York insurance laws, the Company may pay dividends, without the approval of the New York Insurance Superintendent, provided those dividends do not exceed (when added to the other dividends paid in the preceding 12 months) the lesser of (i) 10% of the Company's surplus as of the prior December 31, or (ii) the Company's net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Dividends are noncumulative. Based on these limitations, the Company is able to pay dividends of up to $47.3 million by the end of 2024 without seeking regulatory approval based on capital and surplus of $473.3 million at December 31, 2023.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is named as a defendant in various legal actions arising principally from claims made under insurance policies and contracts. The Company believes the resolution of these actions will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
At December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any material lease agreements for office space or equipment.
At December 31, 2023 the Company has future commitments to provide additional capital contributions of $9.3 million to investments in joint ventures, limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Additionally, the Company has commitments to fund $9.6 million of commercial mortgage loans.

Interest rate changes may have temporary effects on the sale and profitability of annuity products offered by the Company. Although the rates offered by the Company are adjustable in the long-term, in the short-term they may be subject to contractual and competitive restrictions, which may prevent timely adjustment. The Company’s management constantly monitors interest rates with respect to a spectrum of product durations and sells annuities that permit flexible responses to interest rate changes as part of the Company’s management of interest spreads. However, adverse changes in investment yields on invested assets will affect the earnings on those products with a guaranteed return.

10. Separate Accounts
The Company’s guaranteed separate account consists of non-indexed, guaranteed rate options that include market value adjustments. The guaranteed rate options are sold in fixed annuity products and as investment options within the Company’s variable annuity products. These guaranteed rate options carry a minimum interest guarantee based on the guarantee period selected by the policyholder. The fixed annuity products offered provide a death benefit equal to the account value. The fixed investment options within the Company’s variable annuity products provide the death benefits listed below for variable annuities.
The Company’s nonguaranteed separate accounts consist of subaccounts available through variable annuities and group variable universal life insurance. The net investment experience of each subaccount is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The variable annuities include guaranteed minimum death benefits that vary by product and include optional death benefits available on some products. The death benefits offered by the Company include the following: account value, return of premium paid, a death benefit that is adjusted after seven years to the current account value, and a death benefit that is adjusted annually to the current account value. Some variable annuities also provide living benefits, which include guaranteed accumulation amounts on a date certain, guaranteed minimum withdrawal amounts and guaranteed minimum lifetime withdrawal amounts. The death benefit under the group variable universal life insurance policies may vary with the investment performance of the underlying investments in the separate accounts.
To compensate the general account for risk taken, the separate accounts paid risk charges of $1.2 million, $1.0 million, $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company’s general account paid $0.2 million, $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.0 million towards separate account guarantees in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company

Opinion

We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2023, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2023.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between these statutory accounting practices described
1


in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
2


Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company that offers primarily individual traditional and whole life insurance policies. The Company is licensed in 46 states and the District of Columbia. For the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 68.8% of the gross premiums and annuity considerations for the Company were derived from California, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The Company is domiciled in Ohio. The Company is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Western & Southern Mutual Holding Company (Mutual Holding), a mutual holding company formed pursuant to the insurance regulations of the State of Ohio. Ohio law requires Mutual Holding to hold at least a majority voting interest in the Company. Currently, Mutual Holding indirectly holds 100% of the voting interest through Western & Southern Financial Group, Inc. (WSFG), its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company wholly owns the following insurance entities: Western-Southern Life Assurance Company (WSLAC), Columbus Life Insurance Company (Columbus Life), Integrity Life Insurance Company (Integrity) and Gerber Life Insurance Company (Gerber Life). Integrity Life Insurance Company wholly owns National Integrity Life Insurance Company (National).
State regulatory authorities have powers relating to granting and revoking licenses to transact business, the licensing of agents, the regulation of premium rates and trade practices, the form and content of insurance policies, the content of advertising material, financial statements and the nature of permitted practices.
Included within the financial statements, the Company has established and operates a closed block for the benefit of holders of most participating individual ordinary and weekly industrial life insurance policies issued on or before the formation of Mutual Holding in 2000 (the Closed Block). Assets have been allocated to the Closed Block in an amount that is expected to produce cash flows which, together with anticipated revenue from the policies included in the Closed Block, are reasonably expected to be sufficient to support the Closed Block policies, the continuation of policyholder dividends, in aggregate, in accordance with the 2000 dividend scale if the experience underlying such scale continues, and for appropriate adjustments in the dividend scale if the experience changes. Invested assets allocated to the Closed Block consist primarily of high-quality debt securities, mortgage loans, policy loans, short-term investments, other invested assets, and securities lending reinvested collateral. Invested assets of $1,801.4 million and $1,828.7 million were allocated to the Closed Block as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The assets allocated to the Closed Block inure solely for the benefit of the Closed Block policyholders and will not revert to the benefit of the Company. The purpose of the Closed Block is to protect the policy dividend expectations of these policies after the formation of Mutual Holding. The Closed Block will continue in effect until the last policy in the Closed Block is no longer in force.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of statutory-basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance (the Department). The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP or SSAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Ohio. These practices differ in some respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The more significant differences follow.
Investments
Investments in debt securities and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on the NAIC’s rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in the statement of operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) for those designated as available-for-sale.
All single-class and multiclass mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using the retrospective method. The prospective method is used to determine amortized cost for securities that experience a decline that is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Securities that are in an unrealized loss position which the Company intends to sell, or does not have the intent and ability to hold until recovery, are written down to fair value as a realized loss. Securities that are in an unrealized loss position which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until recovery are written down to the extent the present value of expected future cash flows using the security’s effective yield is lower than the amortized cost. For GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, CBO, CDO, CLO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the extent the present value of expected future cash flows using the security’s effective yield is lower than the amortized cost. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.
The Company monitors other investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Factors that management considers for each identified security include the following:
The extent the fair value has been below the book/adjusted carrying value;
The reasons for the decline in value;
Specific credit issues related to the issuer and current economic conditions, including the current and future impact of any specific events;
For structured investments (e.g., residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and other structured investments), factors such as overall deal structure and the Company’s position within the structure, quality of underlying collateral, delinquencies and defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments and cumulative loss projections are considered;
9

The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
For all equity securities and other debt securities with credit-related declines in fair value, the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its value to book/adjusted carrying value; and
For all other debt securities with interest-related declines in fair value, the Company’s intent to sell the security before recovery of its book/adjusted carrying value.
If the decline is judged to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge to fair value is recorded as a net realized capital loss in the period the determination is made. Under GAAP, if the decline is judged to be other-than-temporary because the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or is more likely than not to be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, an impairment charge to fair value is recorded as a net realized capital loss. If the decline is judged to be other-than-temporary because the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security due to expected credit losses, an impairment charge is recorded to net realized capital loss as the difference between amortized cost and the net present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment.
Investments in real estate are reported net of required obligations rather than on a gross basis as for GAAP. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties.
Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally debt securities and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual security sold in five-year bands. The net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations on a pretax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.
The asset valuation reserve (AVR) provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in capital and surplus. AVR is not recognized for GAAP.
Subsidiaries
The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Policy Acquisition Costs
The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, policy acquisition costs, related to traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance policies sold, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, would be deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves; for universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investments, mortality, and expense margins.
Nonadmitted Assets
Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted” (principally investments in unaudited subsidiaries and controlled and affiliated entities, the pension asset, and a trademark license agreement), and other assets not specifically identified as admitted assets within the NAIC’s Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to accumulated surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheets.
Premiums and Benefits
Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, consist of the entire premium received, and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting, and credited directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium income. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.
Benefit Reserves
Certain policy reserves are calculated using statutorily prescribed interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.
Reinsurance
A liability for reinsurance balances is required to be provided for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to those amounts are credited or charged directly to capital and surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.
Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP. Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Employee Benefits
For purposes of calculating the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit obligations, vested participants, non-vested participants and current retirees are included in the valuation. The prepaid pension asset resulting from the excess of the fair value of plan assets over the benefit obligation, which is nonadmitted under statutory accounting rules, is included in other comprehensive income under GAAP.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not meeting a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. Deferred tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a time frame corresponding with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, including amounts established in accordance with the provision of SSAP No. 5R, plus 2) for entities who meet the required realization threshold in SSAP No. 101, the lesser of the remaining 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 processing equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities. The remaining deferred tax assets are nonadmitted. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not meeting a more-likely-than-not realization threshold.
Policyholder Dividends
Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies.
Surplus Notes
Surplus Notes are classified as a component of equity rather than as long-term debt.
Statements of Cash Flow
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding captions of cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Other significant statutory accounting practices follow.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Restricted Assets
The Company has assets pledged as collateral, or otherwise not exclusively under control of the Company, totaling $106.2 million and $147.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These assets are primarily collateral held in relation to the Company's securities lending program. These restricted assets are discussed in more detail in their relevant section.
Investments
Debt securities, common stocks, preferred stocks, and short-term investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:
Debt securities not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the interest method.
Single-class and multiclass mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method including anticipated prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from Bloomberg and broker-dealer prepayment models or derived from empirical data and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities except securities that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and securities that are principal-only or interest-only, which are valued using the prospective method.
Unaffiliated common stocks are reported at fair value utilizing publicly quoted prices from third-party pricing services and the related unrealized capital gains and losses are reported in capital and surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.
Redeemable preferred stocks that have characteristics of debt securities and are rated as medium quality or better are reported or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Perpetual preferred stocks are valued at fair value, not exceeding any currently effective call price, utilizing publicly quoted prices from third-party pricing services and the related unrealized capital gains and losses are reported in capital and surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.
There are no restrictions on unaffiliated common or preferred stocks.
Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying audited statutory equity. The Company’s noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity. The net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in capital and surplus.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Joint ventures, partnerships, and limited liability companies are carried at the Company’s interest in the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee. Undistributed earnings allocated to the Company are reported in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses. Distributions from earnings of the investees are reported as net investment income when received. Because of the indirect nature of these investments, there is an inherent reduction in transparency and liquidity and increased complexity in valuing the underlying investments. As a result, these investments are actively managed by the Company’s management via detailed evaluation of the investment performance relative to risk.
Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines foreclosure is probable, the impairment is other than temporary; the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized.
Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.
Real estate occupied by the Company and real estate held for the production of income are reported at depreciated cost net of related obligations. Real estate that the Company has the intent to sell is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, net of related obligations. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the properties.
Property acquired in the satisfaction of debt is recorded at the lower of cost less accumulated depreciation or fair market value.
Debt securities and other loan interest are credited to income as it accrues. Dividends are recorded as income on ex-dividend dates. To the extent income is uncertain, due and accrued income is excluded and treated as nonadmitted through surplus.
The Company utilizes customized call and put options to hedge market volatility related to the S&P 500 index . At the beginning of these contracts, a premium is either paid or received for transferring the related risk. The options are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and are carried at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in surplus. The related gains and losses from terminations or expirations are recorded in realized capital gains and losses.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.
Premiums
Life and accident and health premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Policy Reserves
Life, annuity and accident and health disability benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash values or the amounts required by the Department. The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of life and annuity policy insureds and does return any premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves. Policies issued subject to multiple table substandard extra premiums are valued on the standard reserve basis which recognizes the nonlevel incidence of the excess mortality costs. Additional reserves are established when the results of cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios indicate the need for such reserves, or the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in-force.
For policies issued in 2020 or after, life insurance reserves are developed using principle-based policyholder and asset assumptions with margins and floored at formulaic reserves based upon published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods.

Formulaic policy reserves for life insurance and supplemental benefits are computed on the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method. The following mortality tables and interest rates are used:

The mean reserve method is used to adjust the calculated terminal reserve to the appropriate reserve at December 31. Mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the rated age and holding, in addition, one-half of the extra premium charge for the year. Policies issued after July 1 for substandard lives, are charged an extra premium plus the regular premium for the true age. Mean reserves are based on appropriate multiples of standard rates of mortality. An asset is recorded for deferred premiums net of loading to adjust the reserve for modal premium payments.
For substandard table ratings, mean reserves are based on 125% to 500% of standard mortality rates. For flat extra ratings, mean reserves are based on the standard or substandard mortality rates increased by 1 to 25 deaths per thousand.

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, reserves of $13.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively, were recorded on in-force amounts of $774.5 million and $803.7 million, respectively, for which gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation required by the Department. The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation for all accident and health contracts.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, and tabular cost have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies is calculated as one-hundredth of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the year of valuation.
The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process, and there can be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not exceed the Company’s policy reserves and have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Due to the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves, it has been necessary, and may over time continue to be necessary, to revise estimated future liabilities as reflected in the Company’s policy reserves.
Policyholders’ Dividends
The amount of policyholders’ dividends to be paid (including those on policies included in the Closed Block) is determined annually by the Company’s Board of Directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders’ dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year and judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by the Company.
Policy and Contract Claims
Policy and contract claims in process of settlement represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2023 and 2022. The reserves for unpaid claims are estimated using individual case-basis valuations and statistical analysis. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the reserves for claims are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.
Securities Lending
At December 31, 2023, the Company had loaned various debt securities, preferred stocks and common stocks as part of a securities lending program administered by Deutsche Bank, of which the fair value was $74.5 million and $23.4 million in the general and separate account, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the Company had loaned various debt securities, preferred stocks and common stocks as part of a securities lending program administered by Deutsche Bank, of which the fair value was $78.7 million and

$59.7 million in the general and separate account, respectively. The Company maintains effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continues to report such securities as invested assets in the balance sheets. The general account collateral is managed by both an affiliated and unaffiliated agent. The separate account is managed by an unaffiliated agent.
The Company requires at the initial transaction that the fair value of the cash collateral received must be equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The Company monitors the ratio of the fair value of the collateral to loaned securities to ensure it does not fall below 100%. If the fair value of the collateral falls below 100% of the fair value of the securities loaned, the Company nonadmits that portion of the loaned security. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not nonadmit any portion of the loaned securities.
The Company reports all collateral on the balance sheet with an offsetting liability recognized for the obligation to return the collateral. Collateral for the securities lending program is either managed by an affiliated agent of the Company or is managed by Deutsche Bank, an unaffiliated agent. Collateral managed by an affiliated agent, which approximated $45.5 million and $62.6 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is invested primarily in investment-grade debt securities and cash equivalents and is included in the applicable amount on the balance sheets because the funds are available for the general use of the Company. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, collateral managed by an unaffiliated agent, which approximated $30.8 million and $17.8 million respectively, was invested in cash equivalents and was included in securities lending reinvested collateral assets on the balance sheet.
At December 31, 2023, the collateral for all securities on loan could be requested to be returned on demand by the borrower. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the total collateral in the general account was $76.3 million and $80.4 million, respectively. The fair value of the total collateral in the separate account was $24.1 million and $61.1 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was all managed by an unaffiliated agent.
The aggregate collateral broken out by maturity date is as follows at December 31, 2023:

At December 31, 2023, all of the collateral held for the securities lending program was invested in tradable securities that could be sold and used to pay for the $76.7 million and $24.1 million in the general and separate accounts, respectively, in collateral calls that could come due under a worst-case scenario where all collateral was called simultaneously.
The Company does not accept collateral that is not permitted by contract or custom to sell or repledge. The Company does not have any securities lending transactions that extend beyond one year from the reporting date.
Separate Account
The Company maintains a separate account, which holds all of the Company’s pension plan assets. The assets of the separate account consist primarily of marketable securities, which are recorded at fair value. These assets are considered legally insulated from the general accounts.
There are no separate account liabilities that are guaranteed by the general account. (See Note 10 for further discussion on the general account’s responsibility as it relates to the obligations of the Company’s pension plan).
The activity within the separate account, including realized and unrealized gains or losses on its investments, has no effect on net income or capital and surplus of the Company. The Company’s statements of operations reflect annuity payments to pension plan participants and other expenses of the separate account, as well as the reimbursement of such expenses from the separate account.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its eligible subsidiaries and affiliates. The provision for federal income taxes is allocated to the individual companies using a separate return method based upon a written tax-sharing agreement. Under the agreement, the benefits from losses of subsidiaries and affiliates are retained by the subsidiary and affiliated companies. The Company pays all federal income taxes due for all members of the group. The Company then immediately charges or reimburses, as the case may be, the members of the group an amount consistent with the method described in the tax-sharing agreement.
The Company includes interest and penalties in the federal income tax line on the statements of operations.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Company accounts for its postretirement benefits other than pensions on an accrual basis. The postretirement benefit obligation for current retirees and fully eligible employees is measured by estimating the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be received at retirement using explicit assumptions.
Actuarial and investment gains and losses arising from differences between assumptions and actual experience upon subsequent remeasurement of the obligation may be recognized as a component of the

net periodic benefit cost in the current period or amortized. The net gain or loss will be included as a component of net postretirement benefit cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, the unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the postretirement benefit obligation. That gain or loss, if not recognized immediately, will be amortized over the average life expectancy of the employer’s fully vested and retiree group.
Accounting Changes
There were no material accounting changes in 2023, 2022, or 2021.
Business Combinations
On December 31, 2018, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of Gerber Life from Nestlé S.A. ("Nestlé"). Gerber Life is an insurer that operates primarily in the juvenile life insurance and medical stop-loss insurance markets. Gerber Life is New York-domiciled and is licensed in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and certain Canadian provinces. The cost of the acquired entity was $1,257.3 million. The original goodwill balance was $945.5 million, of which $528.1 million was admitted, based on an admission limit of 10% of adjusted company surplus as of the last reported period..

Derivative Instruments
The Company entered into an equity hedge program designed to hedge the market value risks associated with the broad equity market. Hedging this risk reduces the economic sensitivity to price declines. At the beginning of these contracts, a premium is either paid or received for transferring the related risk. The options are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and are carried at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in surplus. The related gains and losses from terminations or expirations are recorded in realized capital gains and losses.

3. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Included in various investment-related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value such as when impaired or, for certain bonds and preferred stocks, when carried at the lower of cost or market.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and to estimate the fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value. Certain financial instruments, particularly policyholder liabilities other than investment-type contracts, are excluded from this fair value discussion.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on the following hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The
27

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of levels at the beginning of the quarterly reporting period.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets and liabilities primarily include exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds, including those which are part of the Company’s separate account assets.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities primarily include debt securities within the Company’s separate account for which public quotations are not available, but that are priced by third-party pricing services or internal models using observable inputs. Also included in Level 2 assets and liabilities are preferred stock, fixed income residual tranches, and stock warrants. The fair value of these instruments is determined through the use of third-party pricing services or models utilizing market observable inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities primarily include private real estate funds within the Company’s separate account that are priced utilizing significant unobservable inputs. Also included in Level 3 assets and liabilities are common and preferred stocks being priced by broker quotes or utilizing recent financing for similar securities.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including discount rates, estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses.
For Level 3 investments, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument.
Certain investments utilize net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient for fair value. These investments are reported separately from the hierarchy. Investments utilizing NAV consist mainly of equity interest in limited partnerships and limited liabilities in the separate account. These investments contain fixed income, common stock, and real estate characteristics. The interests in these partnerships can be sold or transferred with prior consent from the general partner. The average remaining life of the investments is 16.7 years. The Company's unfunded commitment for these investments is $74.5 million. In addition, a collective trust in the separate account utilizing NAV is primarily investing in domestic fixed income securities. Shares in the trust can be redeemed at their net asset value. The NAV for this investment is $10.91. The Company does not intend to sell any investments utilizing NAV.
As described below, certain fair values are determined through the use of third-party pricing services. Management does not adjust prices received from third parties; however, the Company does analyze the third-party pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and performs additional evaluation to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company performs annual due diligence of third-party pricing services, which includes assessing the vendor’s valuation qualifications, control environment, analysis of asset class-specific valuation methodologies and

understanding of market observable assumptions and unobservable assumptions, if any, employed in the valuation methodology. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company’s business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below. The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies utilized by the Company for assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value.
Debt and Equity Securities
The fair values of debt securities and asset/mortgage-backed securities have been determined through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs. Private placement securities trading in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information are valued using either broker quotes or by discounting the expected cash flows using current market-consistent rates applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of each security.
The fair values of actively traded equity securities and exchange traded funds (including exchange traded funds with debt like characteristics) have been determined utilizing publicly quoted prices obtained from third-party pricing services. The fair values of certain equity securities for which no publicly quoted prices are available have been determined through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs. Actively traded mutual funds are valued using the net asset values of the funds. The fair value of equity securities included in Level 3 has been determined by utilizing broker quotes or recent financing for similar securities.
Mortgage Loans
The fair values for mortgage loans, consisting principally of commercial real estate loans, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans collateralized by properties with similar investment risk. The fair values for mortgage loans in default are established at the lower of the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell or the carrying amount of the loan.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are based on quoted market prices or stated amounts.
Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral Assets
The fair values of securities lending reinvested collateral assets are determined through the use of third-party sources utilizing publicly quoted prices.
Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include surplus debentures and fixed income residual tranches for which fair values have been determined through the use of third-party pricing services utilizing market observable inputs.
29

Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
Derivative Instruments
The fair values of free-standing derivative instruments, primarily stock warrants, are determined through the use of third-party pricing services or models utilizing market observable inputs.
Assets Held in Separate Accounts
Assets held in separate accounts include debt securities, equity securities, mutual funds, surplus notes, private equity, and private debt fund investments. The fair values of debt securities, equity securities and mutual funds have been determined using the same methodologies as similar assets held in the general account. The fair values of private equity and private debt fund investments have been determined utilizing the net asset values of the funds. The fair values of the private real estate funds have been determined by significant unobservable inputs.
Life and Annuity Reserves for Investment-Type Contracts and Deposit Fund Liabilities
The fair value of liabilities for investment-type contracts is based on the present value of estimated liability cash flows, which are discounted using rates that incorporate risk-free rates and margins for the Company’s own credit spread and the riskiness of cash flows. Key assumptions to the cash flow model include the timing of policyholder withdrawals and the level of interest credited to contract balances. Fair values for insurance reserves are not required to be disclosed. However, the estimated fair values of all insurance reserves and investment contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk.
Securities Lending Liability
The liability represents the Company’s obligation to return collateral related to securities lending transactions. The liability is short-term in nature and therefore, the fair value of the obligation approximates the carrying amount.

The controlled group of corporations of which the reporting entity is a member has determined that it is not an “applicable corporation” for purposes of CAMT during the reporting period, and is not liable for the CAMT.

7. Capital and Surplus
The Company is required by statutory regulations to meet minimum risk-based capital standards. Risk-based capital is a method of measuring the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital.
Ohio insurance law limits the amount of dividends that can be paid to a parent in a holding company structure without prior approval of the regulators to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus or statutory net income as of the preceding December 31 less any dividends paid in the preceding 12 months, but only to the extent of earned surplus as of the preceding December 31. Based on these limitations, the Company is able to pay dividends of up to $703.3 million by the end of 2024 without seeking prior regulatory approval based on capital and surplus of $7,033.2 million at December 31, 2023.
The Company currently has the following outstanding surplus notes:

20232022
(In Thousands)
2019 Notes, 5.15% interest rate, due 2049$497,861 $497,775 
2021 Notes, 3.75% interest rate, due 2061497,783 497,724 
Total carrying value of surplus notes$995,644 $995,499 

On January 23, 2019, the Company issued $500.0 million in surplus notes (the “2019 Notes”) due January 15, 2049, at a discount of $2.6 million. The entire balance was received in cash, none of which came from related parties. Interest on the 2019 Notes is fixed at 5.15% and payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2019 Notes and are administered by The Bank of New York Mellon. Subject to the approval of the Ohio Director of Insurance (the “Director”), the Company has the option to redeem the 2019 Notes (i) in whole within 90 days after the occurrence of a “Tax Event” where the Company receives an opinion of tax counsel that there is a more than insubstantial risk that interest payable on the 2019 Notes is not deductible by the Company, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be redeemed (the ‘‘Par Value Redemption Price’’), (ii) in whole or in part, on or after January 23, 2024 but prior to July 15, 2048, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) the Par Value Redemption Price or (b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled principal and interest payments on the 2019 Notes from the redemption date to July 15, 2048, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at an adjusted treasury rate plus 35 basis points or (iii) in whole or in part, on or after July 15, 2048, at the Par Value Redemption Price, plus, in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii), accrued and unpaid interest payments on the 2019 Notes to be redeemed to the redemption date.
On April 28, 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million in surplus notes (the “2021 Notes”) due April 28, 2061 at a discount of $2.4 million.

October 28 of each year. The 2021 Notes are administered by The Bank of New York Mellon. Subject to the approval of the Director, the Company has the option to redeem the 2021 Notes (i) in whole within 90 days after the occurrence of a “Tax Event” where the Company receives an opinion of tax counsel that there is a more than insubstantial risk that interest payable on the 2021 Notes is not deductible by the Company, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed (the ‘‘Par Value Redemption Price’’), (ii) in whole or in part, prior to October 28, 2060, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) the Par Value Redemption Price or (b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled principal and interest payments on the 2021 Notes from the redemption date to October 28, 2060, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at an adjusted treasury rate plus 25 basis points or (iii) in whole or in part, on or after October 28, 2060, at the Par Value Redemption Price, plus, in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii), accrued and unpaid interest payments on the 2021 Notes to be redeemed to the redemption date.
The 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes (collectively the “Notes”) do not have payments that are contractually linked nor are any of the payments subject to administrative offsetting provisions. Additionally, proceeds from the Notes were not used to purchase an asset directly from the holders. The Notes were issued pursuant to Rule 144A as defined by the Securities Act of 1933. The Notes are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and “prior claims” (those claims referred to in classes 1 through 7 of Section 3903.42 of the Ohio Revised Code) against the Company. Under Ohio insurance laws, the Notes are not part of the legal liabilities of the Company. Each payment of principal of, interest on or redemption price with respect to the Notes, may be made only with the prior approval of the Director, and only out of surplus earnings.
Interest expense of $44.5 million and $44.5 million was recognized from the Notes in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Life-to-date interest expense recognized December 31, 2023, was $175.1 million. There has been no principal paid as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, there was unapproved interest of $3.2 million related to 2023 that will come due in 2024. In the event the Company was subject to a liquidation event, the Notes would have preference over the common shareholders. No affiliates of the Company hold any of the Notes. As of the closing, Guggenheim Partners was the only holder of more than 10% of the outstanding Notes on record at the Depository Trust Company.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is named as a defendant in various legal actions arising principally from claims made under insurance policies and contracts. The Company believes the resolution of these actions will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
At December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any material lease agreements as a lessee for office space or equipment.
At December 31, 2023, the Company has future commitments to provide additional capital contributions of $723.6 million to investments in joint ventures, limited partnerships and limited liability companies.
The Company guarantees the payment of all policyholder obligations of each of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: WSLAC, Columbus Life and Integrity. In addition, the Company guarantees all
47

The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory-Basis)
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
policyholder obligations of National and The Lafayette Life Insurance Company (Lafayette Life), an affiliated entity which is wholly-owned by WSFG. Guarantees on behalf of wholly-owned subsidiaries or on behalf of related parties that are considered to be unlimited (as in the case of the guarantee on behalf of Lafayette Life) are exempt from the initial liability recognition criteria and therefore no liability has been recognized in the financial statements. Due to the unlimited nature of the guarantees, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees. In the unlikely event the guarantees would be triggered, the Company may be permitted to take control of the underlying assets to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees.
The Company has guaranteed one mortgage loan in which the borrower is an affiliated limited liability company involved in development of real estate. This guarantee has a maximum exposure to the Company of $12.8 million for 506 Phelps Holdings, LLC, in the event the real estate collateral of the affiliated limited liability company is not sufficient to cover the payment of the loan. The fair value of the real estate collateral at December 31, 2023, was approximately $33.1 million. This loan matured in February 2024.

The Company’s management constantly monitors interest rates with respect to a spectrum of product durations and sells annuities that permit flexible responses to interest rate changes as part of the Company’s management of interest spreads.

The Company's non-admitted pension asset was $238.4 million and $186.7 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company utilizes a full yield curve approach in the estimation of liabilities, service cost, and interest cost for pension and postretirement benefits by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The yield curve utilized in the cash flow analysis is comprised of highly rated (Aaa or Aa) corporate bonds. The discount rate was decreased from 5.46% at December 31, 2022, to 5.13% at December 31, 2023. This resulted in a $34.2 million increase in the pension benefit obligation in 2023. The discount rate was increased from 3.00% at December 31, 2021, to 5.46% at December 31, 2022. This resulted in a $327.6 million decrease in the pension benefit obligation in 2022.
The Company employs a prospective building block approach in determining the long-term expected rate of return for plan assets. Historical returns are determined by asset class. The historical relationships between equities, fixed income securities, and other assets are reviewed. The Company applies long-term asset return estimates to the plan’s target asset allocation to determine the weighted-average long-term return. The Company’s long-term asset allocation was determined through modeling long-term returns and asset return volatilities and is guided by an investment policy statement created for the plan.

The plan employs a total return investment approach whereby a mix of fixed income and equity investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status, and corporate financial condition. The total portfolio is structured with multiple sub-portfolios, each with a specific fixed income or equity asset management discipline. Each sub-portfolio is subject to individual limitations and performance benchmarks as well as limitations at the consolidated portfolio level. Quarterly asset allocation meetings are held to evaluate portfolio asset allocations and to establish the optimal mix of assets given current market conditions and risk tolerance. Investment mix is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through regular investment reviews, annual liability measurements, and periodic asset/liability studies.
The Company’s pension plan assets consist primarily of debt and equity securities, mutual funds and private equity funds, all of which are carried at fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets primarily include exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The Company’s Level 2 assets include certain debt securities for which public price quotations are not available, but that use other market observable inputs from third-party pricing service quotes or internal valuation models using observable inputs. Level 2 assets also include private funds that invest primarily in domestic debt securities where the Company has the right to redeem its interest at net asset values. The underlying debt securities within these funds employ similar valuation methodologies as the Company’s other investments in debt securities.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company's Level 3 assets primarily include private real estate funds.
