2. Significant Accounting Policies |
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions, such as those regarding fair value, that affect recorded amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are discussed throughout these Notes to Financial
CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Statements. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the Account's financial statements:
A. Investment Valuation: Investments held by the variable sub-accounts consist of shares of mutual funds that are valued at their respective closing net asset values per share as determined by the mutual funds as of December 31, 2023. The change in the difference between cost and fair value is reflected as a change in net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. See below for further information on Fair Value Measurements.
B. Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined by the average cost basis of the investments sold. Dividend and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are settled through CG Life. Amounts due to or due from CG Life are recorded as payables to/receivables from CG Life in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There were no such payables to or receivables from CG Life as of December 31, 2023.
C. Federal Income Taxes: The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of CG Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company. Under existing Federal income tax law, investment income (dividends) and capital gains attributable to the Account are not taxed.
D. Policies: Reinstated policies due to lapses that are re-issued in the current year are deemed issued under that policy's original effective date with regard to fee structures. No new policies were issued during this statement period and it is expected that no new policies will be issued in the future.
E. Fair Value Measurements: The Account carries financial instruments at fair value in the financial statements, including mutual funds.
Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a market participant, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.
The Account’s financial assets carried at fair value have been classified based upon a hierarchy defined by GAAP. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset's or a liability's classification is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a financial asset or liability carried at fair value would be classified in Level 3 if unobservable inputs were significant to the instrument's fair value, even though the measurement may be derived using inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
| | | | | |
2. Significant Account Policies (Continued) | |
•Level 1 – Inputs for instruments classified in Level 1 include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets accessible at the measurement date. Active markets are defined as markets where many transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and include exchanges and dealer markets.
•Level 2 – Inputs for instruments classified in Level 2 include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices from those willing to trade in markets that are not active or other inputs that are market
observable or can be corroborated by market data for the term of the instrument. Such other inputs include market interest rates and volatilities, spreads and yield curves. An instrument is classified in Level 2 if the Company determines that unobservable inputs are insignificant.
•Level 3 – Certain inputs for instruments classified in Level 3 are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) and significant to their resulting fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date.
The Account’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investments in various institutional and retail mutual funds classified in Level 2. The fair value measurement is based on the respective funds' closing net asset value as of the valuation date, which represents the exit-based fair value for the units on that date. There were no financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2023.
Purchases and sales of shares of each mutual fund for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to:

This charge is stated in the group policy but will not exceed 5.00%. State insurance premium taxes vary from state to state and range from 0.00% to 3.00%. The premium taxes are netted against participant deposits on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
CG Life charges a monthly deduction for the cost of life insurance and any other benefits provided under the Group policy. The cost of life insurance will depend on the contract holder's age on the contract holder's last birthday as of the last Policy Anniversary. The charge may depend on the following risk factors:
•The group policyholder's industry;
•The contract holder's classification as a smoker or non-smoker;
•The number of eligible persons;
•The age, sex and occupation of the eligible persons;
•The prior claims experience of group life insurance plans sponsored by the group policyholder;
•Expenses of the group policy, including commissions to agents or brokers and other administrative expenses to reimburse CG Life;
•Our prior claims experience under the group policy; and
•Other factors affecting CG Life's risk under the group policy.
The monthly cost of life insurance is guaranteed not to exceed maximum rates that are based on 150% of the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Male Mortality Tables, Age Last Birthday.
CG Life charges a monthly administrative fee to cover the cost of premium billing and collection, certificate value calculation, transaction processing, periodic reports and other expenses. This charge will vary depending on the group policyholder, including the number of eligible persons and the expected costs of administering the certificates under the group policy. This charge will not exceed:
•$6.00 per month, for certificates having a fund or portfolio balance (net of loans) of more than zero but not more than $10,000; or
•$5.00 per month, for certificates having no fund or portfolio balance, or having a fund or portfolio balance (net of loans) of more than $10,000.
CG Life charges a fee of $25.00 (or 2% of the amount of the surrender, if less) for the following transactions:
•A full surrender of a certificate;
•A partial surrender of a certificate; and
•Each transfer between funding options in excess of 12 transfers during each policy year.
The transaction fee may be waived at the discretion of CG Life management. Fees charged by CG Life for cost of life insurance, administrative fees and transaction fees are charged directly to policyholder accounts.

5. Distribution of Net Income |
Separate Account A does not expect to declare dividends to participants from accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is allocated to each participant. Distribution to participants will occur as part of death benefits and surrender.

6. Diversification Requirements |
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account, on which the policy is based, are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury. Based on assurances from the Fund Managers, CG Life believes that the variable sub-accounts satisfy the requirements of the regulations and that Separate Account A therefore satisfies these requirements and expects to continue to meet such requirements.

8. Financial Highlights (Continued): |
Explanations for footnotes within the Financial Highlights are as follows:
* These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. These ratios also do not reflect charges for cost of insurance, administrative or transaction fees; inclusion of these charges in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.
**These amounts represent the dividends received by the variable sub-account from the underlying mutual fund, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude mortality and expense risk charges that are assessed against contract owner accounts through reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the variable sub-accounts is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the variable sub-account invests.
