Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company
Group Variable Annuity Contracts
Separate Account DC Variable Account-I and
Separate Account Two
Sub-Administered by Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America
This Prospectus sets forth information you should know before you purchase or become a Participant under the group variable annuity contract (the “Contract” or “Contracts”). Please read it carefully before you purchase or become a Participant under the Contract. We no longer sell the Contract. However, we continue to administer existing Contracts. The Contract provides for accumulation of Participant Account value and Annuity payments on a fixed and/or variable basis.
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company issues the Contracts in connection with Deferred Compensation Plans of tax-exempt and governmental employers. We can also issue the Contracts in connection with certain Qualified Plans of employers (generally tax-exempt or non-tax-exempt).
We hold Contributions to Contracts issued in connection with Deferred Compensation Plans in a Separate Account known as Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company DC Variable Account-I (“DC-I”) during the period before annuity payouts start. When annuity payouts start, Contract values are held in our Separate Account that is known as Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two (“DC-II”).
For Contracts issued in connection with Qualified Plans, we hold Contributions in DC-II during the period before annuity payouts start and during the period after annuity payouts start.
The Contracts may contain a General Account option or a different General Account contract may be issued in conjunction with the Contracts. The General Account option or contract may contain restrictions. The General Account option or contract and these restrictions are not described in this Prospectus. The General Account option or contract is not required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We allocate the Contributions to the “Sub-Accounts” as directed by the Contract Owner or Participant, as applicable. Sub-Accounts are divisions of a Separate Account.
The Sub-Accounts purchase shares of underlying mutual funds (“Funds”) that have investment strategies ranging from conservative to aggressive. Because your Contributions purchase Sub-Accounts, you do not invest directly in any of the underlying Funds.
For additional information on the underlying Funds see Appendix A: Underlying Funds.
If you decide to become a Contract Owner or a Participant, you should keep this Prospectus for your records. You can also call us at 1-800-528-9009 to get a Statement of Additional Information, free of charge. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about the Contract, and like this Prospectus, is filed with the SEC.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.
The SEC doesn’t approve or disapprove these securities or determine if the information in this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Anyone who represents that the SEC does these things may be guilty of a criminal offense.
This Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information can also be obtained from the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov).
This group variable annuity contract IS NOT:
A bank or credit union deposit or obligation
FDIC or NCUA insured
Insured by any federal government agency
Guaranteed by any bank or credit union
May go down in value

Compensation
Your registered representative may receive compensation in the form of

Exchanges
Because this Contract is no longer available for sale, it should not be offered to

to offer you a new contract in place of the one that you own. You should
N/A

 
exchange an annuity contract only if you determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to
purchase the new annuity contract rather than continue to own the existing
annuity contract.
 
Overview of the Contract
Purpose
The Contract is designed for purchase by sponsors of retirement plans established under Sections 403(b) and 408 of the Code as an investment option for their participants. The Contract offers a number of Underlying Funds in which participants may invest through the Sub-Accounts. A General Account Option that guarantees payment of a minimum interest rate may also be available.
Phases of the Contract
The Contract has two periods: (1) the Accumulation Period and (2) the Annuity Period:
During the Accumulation Period, the Employer makes Contributions to the Contract on behalf of Plan Participants that Participants may allocate among the Sub-Accounts and, if available through the Plan, to the General Account Option. For additional information about the Underlying Funds available for investment through the Sub-Accounts, see Appendix A: Underlying Funds, at the back of this prospectus. For Deferred Compensation Plans, Contributions are allocated to DC-I during the Accumulation Period. For Qualified Plans, Contributions are allocated to DC-II during the Accumulation Period.
During the Accumulation Period, participants may request full or partial surrenders of their Participant Account value. In addition, participants may be able to request a loan from their Participant Account value.
The Accumulation Period ends on the Annuity Commencement Date when annuity payments begin. A Participant selects an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity Payout Option. The Contract provides five annuity options, which may be selected on either a Fixed or Variable Annuity basis or a combination thereof. For Deferred Compensation Plans, there is an automatic transfer of all DC-I values from the Participant Account to DC-II to establish an Annuitant Account.
During the Annuity Period, neither partial nor full surrenders are permitted except from annuities under Annuity Payout Option No. 5 - Payments for a Designated Period – that are selected on a variable basis. Nor may Participants request a loan during the Annuity Period.
Contract Features
Death Benefit: In the event that a participant dies during the Accumulation Period, the Contract pays a death benefit equal to the Participant Account Value, less any outstanding charges and loan balances. The form of the death benefit payable is subject to any limitation imposed by the Plan and the terms of the Contract.
Withdrawal Options: Full and Partial Surrenders are permitted during the Accumulation Period. They are allowed during the Annuity Period only from an annuity under Option No. 5 – Payments for a Designated Period – that is selected on a variable basis.
Loans: Participants may request loans under certain Plans. To obtain a loan, the participant must enter into an agreement with the Contract administrator that describes the terms, conditions and fees or charges of the loan. The Plan may restrict the amount of Participant Account value available for a loan. See the more detailed section “Participant Loans”.
Systemic Withdrawal Option: If permitted by Internal Revenue Service Regulations and the Plan, Participants who have terminated their employment with the Employer may elect systemic withdrawals based on a specific payment of amount, the frequency of payments and the duration of payments, while remaining in the Accumulation Period.

FEE TABLE
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that a Contract Owner will pay when purchasing, owning and surrendering the Contract or, if you are a Participant, when opening, holding and surrendering a Participant Account under the Contract.

If you are a Contract Owner, this table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you purchase the Contract or Surrender the Contract. If you are a Participant, this table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you open a Participant Account or surrender a Participant Account under the Contract. Charges for state Premium Taxes may also be deducted when you contribute to the Contract, upon Surrender or when we start to make Annuity payouts.

We deduct this $18 annual maintenance fee from each Participant Account on a quarterly basis. We deduct 25 percent of the annual fee on the last Valuation Day of each quarter, or from the proceeds of a full surrender of a Participant Account. We deduct the fee proportionately from the Sub-Accounts and any General Account value in a Participant Account.
(4)
The Base Contract Fee consists of the Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge, which is deducted daily at an annual rate against all Contracts values in the Sub-Accounts.
(5)
We deduct this $50 annual loan administration fee on a quarterly basis from a Participant Account. We currently waive the loan administration fee. This fee does not include any rate of interest charged under the terms of a loan. Any interest charged in connection with a loan is deposited to your Participant Account upon repayment of your loan.
We may also deduct a charge for Premium Taxes at the time of Surrender. We may eliminate or change the Transfer Fee, Sales Charge, Annual Maintenance Fee, and Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge.
EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Participant administrative expenses, Base Contract Expenses and Underlying Fund fees and expenses.
Please note that there may be additional extra-contractual fees and charges that are not reflected in the Example, such as custodian or advisory fees that are plan and/or participant specific. Depending on the type of charge, these may reduce only your Participant Account Value, and/or could have tax consequences. See the section “Plan Related Expenses” later in this Prospectus.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the highest Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. This Example also does not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements of the underlying funds. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Effective August 1, 2011, The Sales Charge was removed from the Contracts, and ceased to apply to all Surrenders after August 1, 2011. Talcott Resolution charges a contingent deferred sales charge that begins to phase out after the 12th Participation Contract Year. During the first 10 Participation Contract Years, a maximum deduction of 6% will be made against the full amount of any such surrender. Thereafter, if a surrender occurs between the 10th and 12th Participant Contract Years, a 5% contingent deferred sales charge will be made against the full amount of such surrender. Effective October 1, 1997, after the 12th Participant Contract Year, the 5% charge will be reduced by 1% each subsequent year until the charge is eliminated. In some states, the contingent deferred sales charge structure noted above may not yet be available. In these states, Talcott Resolution will deduct 6% from the amount surrendered from any Participant’s Individual Account under a Master Contract during the first ten Participant’s Contract Years and 5% thereafter prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
(7)
The Transfer Fee applies to each transfer in excess of 12 made in a Participant Contract Year. We Currently waive the Transfer Fee.
(8)
The Annual Maintenance Fee is deducted from each Participant’s Individual Account under the Contracts. This fee will be deducted from the value of each such account on the last business day of each calendar year; provided, however, that if the value of a Participant’s Individual Account is redeemed in full at any time before the last business day of the each Participant’s Contract year, then the Annual Maintenance Fee charge will be deducted from the proceeds of such redemption. No contract fee deduction will be made during the Annuity Payment period under the contracts.

In the event that the Contributions made on behalf of a Participant are allocated partially to the fixed annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account and partially to the variable annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual
11

Account, then the Annual Maintenance Fee will be deducted first from the value of the fixed annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account. If the value of the fixed annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account is insufficient to pay the fee, then any deficit will be deducted from the value of the variable annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account in the following manner: if there are no accumulation units in the General Account or if their value is less than $10.00, the General Account portion of an account will be made against values held in the Hartford Stock HLS Fund Sub-Account of DC-I. If the Hartford Stock HLS Fund Sub-Account values are insufficient to cover the fee, the fee shall be deducted from the account values held in the Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund Sub-Account of DC-I. The fee is not applicable to the Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund Sub-Account where available. In the even that the Contributions made on behalf of a Participant are allocated partially to the General Account and partially to the Separate Account, the Annual Maintenance Fee will be charged against the Separate Account and General Account on a pro rata basis.
(9)
The Base Contract Fee consists of the Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge, which is deducted daily at an annual rate against the average daily assets held under the DC-I and DC-II separate accounts.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Not a Short Term Investment Vehicle. The Contract is designed for retirement savings or other long-term purposes. It is not appropriate for investors who need ready access to cash.
Risks Associated with Underlying Funds. The value of your investment and any returns will depend on the performance of the Underlying Fund(s) you select. You bear the risk of any decline in your Participant Account value resulting from the Underlying Fund(s)’ performance.
Company’s Claims Paying Ability. Guarantees and benefits provided by the Talcott Resolution are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of the company. If the Talcott experiences financial difficulty, it may not be able to make guaranteed payments that exceed the assets in the Separate Account.
Deduction of Third-Party Advisory Fees. Risks relating to the deduction of advisory fees will reduce your Participant Account Value and subject to state and federal income tax, as well as a 10% federal penalty tax if the Participant is under age 59 1/2.
Limitations on Surrenders and Withdrawals. During the first Twelve Contract Years we will deduct a contingent deferred Surrender Charge if you surrender or take a withdrawal from the Contract. You should purchase the Contract only if you have the ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.
Contract Suspension. The Contract may be suspended where new Contributions and new Participant Accounts will not be accepted.
Tax Consequences. Withdrawals are generally taxable as ordinary income. Withdrawals before age 59 12 may be subject to a tax penalty.
Cyber Security and Business Continuity Risk. Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers. Our business is therefore vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from system failures and cybersecurity incidents. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of electronic data, interference with or denial of service, attacks on systems or websites and other operational disruptions that could severely impede our ability to conduct our business and administer the Contract. Financial services companies and their third-party service providers are increasingly the targets of cyber-attacks involving the encryption of data (e.g., ransomware), disruptions in communications (e.g., denial of service), or unauthorized access to or release of personal or confidential information. In 2023, we were notified of a data security incident involving the MOVEit file transfer system used by numerous financial services companies. A third-party vendor uses that software on our behalf to, among other things, identify the deaths of insured persons and annuitants under life insurance policies and annuity contracts. We notified affected customers as required by law, and we continue to assess and investigate the overall impact of the incident. The techniques used to attack systems and networks change frequently, are becoming more sophisticated, and can originate from a wide variety of sources. The use of remote or flexible work arrangements, remote access tools, and mobile technology has expanded potential targets for cyber-attack.
System failures and cybersecurity incidents may adversely affect you and/or your Contract. For instance, a cyber-attack may interfere with our ability to process Contract transactions or calculate Contract values, including Accumulation Unit values, or could result in the release of confidential customer information. Such events could also adversely affect us, as they may result in regulatory fines, financial losses and reputational damage. Cybersecurity incidents may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your Contract to lose value. Although we take efforts to protect our systems from cybersecurity incidents, there can be no assurance that we or our service providers or the underlying funds will be able to avoid cybersecurity incidents affecting Contract owners in the future. It is possible that a cybersecurity incident could persist for an extended period of time without detection.
We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, and other severe events, such as storms, public health crises, terrorist acts, and military actions, any of which could adversely affect our business operations. While we have a business continuity plan and have taken precautions, we cannot assure you that severe events will not result in interruptions to our business operations, particularly if such events affect our computer systems or result in a significant number of our employees becoming unavailable. Interruptions to our business operations may impair our ability to effectively administer the Contract, including our ability to process orders and calculate Contract values. Additionally, our third-party service providers and

other third-parties related to our business (such as financial intermediaries or underlying funds) are subject to similar risks. Successful implementation and execution of their business continuity policies and procedures are largely beyond our control. Disruptions to their business operations may impair our own business operations.

We are obligated to pay all amounts promised to you under your Contract. All guarantees under the Contract are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying capabilities. We provide information about our financial strength in reports filed with state insurance departments. You may obtain information about us by contacting us using the information stated on the cover page of this prospectus, visiting our website at www.talcottresolution.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Separate Account
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company Separate Account DC Variable Account-I (“DC-I”) and Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two (“DC-II”) are where we set aside and invest assets of some of our annuity contracts, including the Contracts. We hold Contributions to Contracts issued in connection with Deferred Compensation Plans in DC-I during the Accumulation Period and in DC-II during the Annuity Period. We hold Contributions to Contracts issued in connection with Qualified Plans in DC-II during both the Accumulation Period and the Annuity Period. The assets of DC-I and DC-II were transferred from Hartford Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company Separate Account DC-I and Separate Account DC-II, respectively, on December 31, 1987.
Each Separate Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or the investment practices of the Separate Accounts or Talcott Resolution.
Each Separate Account meets the definition of “separate account” under federal securities law. Each Separate Account holds only assets for variable annuity contracts. Each Separate Account, respectively:
Holds assets for the benefit of Participants and Contract Owners, and the persons entitled to the payments described in the Contract.

Is not subject to the liabilities arising out of any other business Talcott Resolution may conduct. The General Account is subject to the Company’s claims-paying ability. Investors must look to the strength of the insurance company with regard to insurance company guarantees. Our ability to honor all guarantees under the Contract is subject to our claims-paying capabilities and/or financial strength.
Is not affected by the rate of return of Talcott Resolution’s General Account or by the investment performance of any of Talcott Resolution’s other separate accounts.
May be subject to liabilities from a Sub-Account of the Separate Account that holds assets of other contracts offered by the Separate Account which are not described in this Prospectus.
Is credited with income and gains, and takes losses, whether or not realized, from the assets it holds.
We do not guarantee the investment results of the Separate Accounts. There is no assurance that the value of your Participant Account will equal the total of the Contributions made to your Participant Account.
Underlying Funds
Each Underlying Fund is registered with the SEC as a diversified open–end management investment company under the 1940 Act. But the SEC does not supervise their management, investment practices or policies. The (i) name of each Underlying Fund, (ii) its investment objective, (iii) investment adviser and any sub-adviser, (iv) current expenses and (v) performance information is provided in Appendix A: Underlying Funds. Not all Underlying Funds may be available in all states.
The Underlying Fund each issues a prospectus, which contains additional important information about the Fund. You may obtain copies of the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds by contacting Empower at 1-844-804-8989.
For Contracts issued in connection with Employer-sponsored retirement plans, the Contract owner decides which Sub-Accounts described in this prospectus are available to Participants. As a result, if you are a Participant in an Employer-sponsored Plan, you may not be able to allocate Contributions to all the Sub-Accounts described in the Prospectus. For additional information about the Sub-Accounts available to you, please refer to materials describing your employer’s Plan.
The Contract may contain a General Account option. The General Account option has certain restrictions. Neither the General Account option nor these restrictions are described in this prospectus. The General Account option is not required to be registered with the SEC.
Fees and Payments Received by Talcott Resolution from the Fund Families
On January 1, 2013, Talcott Resolution entered into a reinsurance agreement with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) to reinsure the obligations of Talcott Resolution under the Contracts and to provide all of the administrative services necessary to support the Contracts. In this role, MassMutual receives all charges, fees, payments and compensation described in this Prospectus as payable to Talcott Resolution. On December 31, 2020, MassMutual entered into a reinsurance agreement with Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America (“Empower”) to further reinsure the obligations of Talcott Resolution under the Contracts. MassMutual also entered into an administrative services agreement and subcontract services agreement for Empower to provide all of the administrative services necessary to support the Contracts. Under these arrangements, Empower now receives (through MassMutual) all charges, fees, payments and compensation described in this Prospectus as payable to Talcott Resolution.
The Contracts are no longer available for sale. The MassMutual affiliate formerly responsible for marketing and selling the Contracts continues to pay sales commissions and other compensation to financial intermediaries for sales and marketing activities related to the Contracts.
Talcott Resolution receives substantial fees and payments with respect to the Underlying Funds that are offered as Sub-Accounts to your Plan through the Contract. These types of fees and payments, which are sometimes called “revenue sharing” payments, are among a number of factors considered when deciding to include a fund in the menu of Underlying Funds offered through the Contract. All of the Underlying Funds on the overall menu make payments to Talcott Resolution or an affiliate. These fees and payments under agreements between Talcott Resolution and the principal underwriters, transfer agents, investment advisers and/or other entities related to the Funds may be in amounts up to 0.80% of assets invested in a Underlying Fund. The fees and payments may include asset based sales compensation and service fees under distribution and/or servicing plans adopted by funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. They may also include administrative service fees and additional payments, expense reimbursements and other compensation. The fees may result in a profit to the extent they exceed expenses, including the expenses of paying compensation to broker-dealers, financial institutions and other persons for selling the Contracts.

Not all fund families pay the same amount of fees and compensation to Us and not all Funds pay according to the same formula. Because of this, the amount of the fees and payments received by Talcott Resolution varies by Fund and Talcott Resolution may receive greater or less fees and payments depending on which variable investment options your Plan selects.
For information on which Underlying Funds pay Talcott Resolution such fees and at what level, please visit https://plan.empower-retirement.com/plancloudws/fundprospectus or call 1-844-804-8989. Written information will be provided upon request.
Endorsement/Sponsorship Fees Paid By Talcott Resolution
Empower, as sub-administrator for the Talcott Resolution Contracts, has entered into endorsement/sponsorship arrangements with the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), and National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators (NAGDCA). Under the arrangements, Great West pays endorsement/sponsorship fees to NAPO, FOP and NAGDCA, which allows Great West to advertise its retirement products and services to their member organizations and individuals.
For additional information on the amount of fees and payments made by Empower, as sub-administrator for the Talcott Resolution Contracts, please call 1-844-804-8989. Written information will be provided upon request.
Voting Rights
Talcott Resolution is the legal owner of all Underlying Fund shares held in the Separate Account and has the right to vote at the Fund’s shareholder meetings.
As Sub-administrator of the Separate Account, Empower has assumed responsibility of voting the shares of the Underlying Funds on behalf of Talcott Resolution. To the extent required by federal securities laws or regulations, we will:
Notify the Contract Owner or Participant of any Fund shareholders’ meeting if the shares held for the Contract may be voted;
Send proxy materials and a form of instructions to the Contract Owner or Participant that may be used to provide instructions on how to vote the Fund shares held for the Contract;
•Arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from Contract Owners or Participants;
Vote all Fund shares attributable to a Contract according to instructions received from the Contract Owner or Participant; and
Vote all Fund shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which instructions have been received.
All Fund shares for which no voting instructions are received will be voted in the same proportion as shares for which voting instructions have been received may result in a small number of Contract Owners or Participants determining the outcome of a proposal subject to a shareholder vote.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present interpretation, change to permit voting shares without obtaining Contract Owner or Participant instructions, Empower may decide to do so. Contract Owners or Participants may attend any shareholder meeting at which shares held for their Contract may be voted.
During the Annuity Period under a Contract, the number of votes will decrease as the number of shares in the Underlying Funds held to fund the Annuity benefits decrease.
Changes to the Funds and Separate Account
We reserve the right, subject to any applicable law, to substitute the shares of any other registered investment company for the shares of any Fund held by the Separate Account. Substitution may occur if shares of the Fund(s) become unavailable or due to changes in applicable law or interpretations of law or as we deem appropriate. Current law requires notification to you of any such substitution and approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We also reserve the right, subject to any applicable law, to offer additional Sub-Accounts with differing investment objectives, and to make existing Sub-Account options unavailable under the Contracts in the future.
We may offer additional separate account options from time to time under these Contracts. Such new options will be subject to the then in effect charges, fees, and or transfer restrictions for the Contracts for such additional separate accounts.

General Account Option
Important information you should know: The portion of the Contract relating to the General Account option is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) and the General Account option is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Neither the General Account option nor any interest in the General Account option is subject to the provisions or restrictions of the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act, and the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosure regarding the General Account option.
The General Account option is part of our General Account that includes our company assets. Contributions and Contract values allocated to the General Account option are available to our general creditors.
Declared Rate of Interest: We credit interest on Contributions made to the General Account at a rate we declare for any period of time that we determine. We may change the declared interest rate from time to time at our discretion.
Guaranteed Rate of Interest: Talcott Resolution guarantees a minimum rate of interest. The declared interest rate will not be less than the minimum guaranteed rate of interest.
Distributions and Transfers: We generally process distributions and transfers from the General Account within a reasonable period of time after we receive a Participant request at our Administrative Office. However, under certain conditions, transfers from the General Account may be limited or deferred. Distributions may be subject to a contingent deferred Sales Charge and may be deferred.
The General Account is subject to the Company’s claims-paying ability. Investors must look to the strength of the insurance company with regard to insurance company guarantees. Our ability to honor all guarantees under the Contract is subject to our claims-paying capabilities and/or financial strength.
Contract Charges
Sales Charge
Effective August 1, 2011, the Sales Charge was removed from the Contracts and ceased to apply to all Surrenders after August 1, 2011. Prior to August 1, 2011, the Sales Charge that was applicable to you depended on whether your Contract was issued (a) on or after May 2, 1983, or (b) on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983.
Sales Charge: Contracts issued on or after May 2, 1983
The Sales Charge covers some of the expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the Contracts, including:
the cost of preparing sales literature,
commissions and other compensation paid to broker dealers and their registered representatives, and
other promotional and distribution related activities.
If the Sales Charge is not sufficient to cover sales and distribution expenses, we pay those expenses from our general assets, including surplus. Surplus might include profits resulting from unused mortality and expense risk charges.
We do not deduct a sales charge at the time Contributions are made to the Contract. We may assess a Sales Charge when you partially or fully Surrender amounts held in your Participant Account under the Contract. The Sales Charge is based on the amount you choose to Surrender from your Participant Account and the number of Participant Contract Years completed with respect to your Participant Account before the Surrender.
The percentage used to calculate the contingent deferred Sales Charge is equal to:
Participant’s Contract Years
Sales Charge as
a percentage of
Participant Account

We will not assess any Sales Charge when you partially or fully Surrender the Contract.

We may reduce the amount or term of the Sales Charge (See “Experience Rating under the Contracts” and “Negotiated Charges and Fees”).
When you request a full Surrender, the Sales Charge is deducted from the amount Surrendered and the balance is paid to you.
Example: You request a full Surrender when the value of your Participant Account is $1,000 and the applicable Sales Charge is 5%: Your Sub-Account(s) will be surrendered by $1,000 and you will receive $950 (i.e., the $1,000 Surrender less the 5% Sales Charge).
If you request a partial Surrender and ask for a specific dollar amount, the Sales Charge will be calculated on the total amount that must be withdrawn from your Sub-Account(s) to provide you with the amount requested.
Example: You ask for $1,000 when the applicable Sales Charge is 5%: Your Sub-Account(s) will be reduced by $1,052.63 (i.e., a total withdrawal of $1,052.63 made up of $52.63 in Sales Charge plus the $1,000 you requested). The net amount of $1,000 is paid to you.
Sales Charge: Contracts issued on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983
Contributions made to a Participant’s Individual Account pursuant to the terms of contracts issued on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983 are subject to the following:
No deduction for sales expenses is made at the time of allocation of Contributions to the Contracts. Talcott Resolution charges a contingent deferred sales charge that begins to phase out after the 12th Participation Contract Year. During the first 10 Participation Contract Years, a maximum deduction of 6% will be made against the full amount of any such surrender. Thereafter, if a surrender occurs between the 10th and 12th Participant Contract Years, a 5% contingent deferred sales charge will be made against the full amount of such surrender. Effective October 1, 1997, after the 12th Participant Contract Year, the 5% charge will be reduced by 1% each subsequent year until the charge is eliminated.
In some states, the contingent deferred sales charge structure noted above may not yet be available. In these states, Talcott Resolution will deduct 6% from the amount surrendered from any Participant’s Individual Account under a Master Contract during the first ten Participant’s Contract Years and 5% thereafter prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
The full value of a surrender is subject to such charges when applied as a percentage against the sum of all Contributions to a Participant’s Individual Account.
No deduction for contingent deferred sales charges will be made: (1) in the event of death of a Participant; or (2) if the value of a Participant’s Individual Account is paid out under one of the available annuity options under the contracts; or, (3) if, on Public Employee Deferred Compensation Plans only, a Participant in a Plan makes a financial hardship withdrawal as defined in the Regulations issued by the IRS with respect to the IRC Section 457 governmental deferred compensation plans. The Plan of the Employer must also provide for such hardship withdrawals.
Talcott Resolution reserves the right to limit any increase in the Contributions made to a Participant’s Individual Account to not more than three times the total Contributions made on behalf of such Participant during the initial 12 consecutive months of the Account’s existence under the contract of the present guaranteed deduction rates. Increases in excess of those described will be accepted only with the consent of Talcott Resolution and subject to the then current deductions being made for Sales Charges, the Minimum Death Benefit guarantee and mortality and expense undertaking.
Each contract provides for experience rating of the deduction for sales expenses and/or the Annual Maintenance Fee. In order to experience rate a contract, actual sales costs applicable to a particular contract are determined. If the costs exceed the amounts deducted for such expenses, no additional deduction will be made. If however, the amounts deducted for such expenses exceed actual costs, Talcott Resolution, in its discretion, may allocate all, a portion, or none of such excess as an experience rating credit. If such an allocation is made, the experience credit will be made appropriate: (1) by a reduction in the amount deducted from subsequent contributions for sales expenses; (2) by the crediting of a number of additional Accumulation Units or by Annuity Units, as applicable, without deduction of any sales or other expenses therefrom; (3) or by waiver of the Annual Maintenance Fees or by a combination of the above. To date experience rating credits have been provided on certain cases.
Is there ever a time when the Sales Charge does not apply?
We do not deduct the Sales Charge from a Surrender from Participant’s Account under a Contract in the event of the Participant’s:
death,
disability, within the meaning of Code section 72(m)(7) (provided that any such disability would entitle the Participant to receive social security disability benefits),

confinement in a nursing home, provided the Participant is confined immediately following at least 90 days of continuous confinement in a hospital or long term care facility,
financial hardship (e.g., an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant other than purchase of a principal residence or payment for post-secondary education), or
in the event that a Participant Account is paid out under one of the available Annuity payout options under the Contracts or under the Systematic Withdrawal Option (except that a Surrender out of Annuity payout option 5 is subject to Sales Charges, if applicable).
See Appendix II for the percentage used to calculate the Sales Charge for prior group contracts.
Participants with a Date of Coverage prior to October 15, 1986 may withdraw up to 10% of the value of their Participant Account on a non-cumulative basis each Participant’s Contract Year, after the first, without application of Sales Charges. Participants with a Date of Coverage on or after October 15, 1986 do not have this 10% withdrawal privilege.
Annual Maintenance Fee: The Annual Maintenance Fee is applicable to you depends on whether your Contract was issued (a) on or after May 2, 1983, or (b) on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983.
Annual Maintenance Fee (Contracts issued on or after May 2, 1983): The Annual Maintenance Fee is an annual $18 fee that we deduct from each Participant Account on a quarterly basis. The fee compensates us for our administrative services related to maintaining the Contract and the Participant Accounts. We deduct 25 percent of the annual fee on the last Valuation Day of each quarter, or from the proceeds of a full surrender of a Participant Account. We deduct the fee proportionately from the Sub-Accounts and any General Account value in a Participant Account.
Annual Maintenance Fee (Contracts issued on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983): There will be an Annual Maintenance Fee deduction in the amount of $18 from the value of each such Participant’s Individual Account under the contracts, except as set forth below.
This fee will be deducted from the value of each such account on the last business day of each calendar year; provided, however, that if the value of a Participant’s Individual Account is redeemed in full at any time before the last business day of the each Participant’s Contract year, then the Annual Maintenance Fee charge will be deducted from the proceeds of such redemption. No contract fee deduction will be made during the Annuity Payment period under the contracts.
In the event that the Contributions made on behalf of a Participant are allocated partially to the fixed annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account and partially to the variable annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account, then the Annual Maintenance Fee will be deducted first from the value of the fixed annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account. If the value of the fixed annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account is insufficient to pay the fee, then any deficit will be deducted from the value of the variable annuity portion of the Participant’s Individual Account in the following manner: if there are no accumulation units in the General Account or if their value is less than $10, the General Account portion of an account will be made against values held in the Hartford Stock HLS Fund Sub-Account of DC-I. If the Hartford Stock HLS Fund Sub-Account values are insufficient to cover the fee, the fee shall be deducted from the account values held in the Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund Sub-Account of DC-I. In the event that the Contributions made on behalf of a Participant are allocated partially to the General Account and partially to the Separate Account, the Annual Maintenance Fee will be charged against the Separate Account and General Account on a pro rata basis.
Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge:
The Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge applicable to you depends on whether your Contract was issued (a) on or after May 2, 1983, or (b) on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983.
Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge (Contracts issued on or after May 2, 1983):
For providing administrative services, and for assuming mortality and expense risks under the Contract, we deduct a daily charge at an annual rate against all Contract values in the Sub-Accounts. The amount of the charge differs between DC-I and DC-II:
Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge
DC-I
DC-II
Annual rate
0.90
%
1.25

Mortality Risk During The Accumulation Period
During the period your Contributions are accumulating, we are required to cover any difference between the Minimum Death Benefit paid and the Participant Account value. These differences may occur during periods of declining value or in periods where the Contingent Deferred Sales Charges would have been applicable. The risk that we bear during this period is that actual mortality rates, in aggregate, may exceed expected mortality rates.

Mortality Risk During The Annuity Period
Once Annuity payouts have begun, we may be required to make Annuity payouts as long as the Annuitant is living, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives. The risk that we bear during this period is that the actual mortality rates, in aggregate, may be lower than the expected mortality rates.
Expense Risk
We also bear an expense risk that the Sales Charges and the Annual Maintenance Fee collected before the Annuity Commencement Date may not be enough to cover the actual cost of selling, distributing and administering the Contract.
Although variable Annuity payouts will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Fund selected, your Annuity payouts will not be affected by (a) the actual mortality experience of our Annuitants, or (b) our actual expenses if they are greater than the deductions stated in the Contract. Because we cannot be certain how long our Annuitants will live, we charge this percentage fee based on the mortality tables currently in use. This charge enables us to keep our commitments and to pay you as planned.
We also provide various administrative support services for plans. These services include recordkeeping, statements of account, internet and automated voice response account access, and participant educational materials.
If the mortality and expense risk and administrative charge under a Contract is insufficient to cover actual costs incurred by us, we will bear the loss. If the mortality and expense risk and administrative charge exceeds these costs, we will keep the excess as profit. We may use these profits, as well as revenue sharing and Rule 12b-1 fees received from certain Funds, for any proper corporate purpose including, among other things, payment of sales expenses, including the fees paid to distributors. We expect to make a profit from the mortality and expense risk and administrative charge.
We may reduce the mortality and expense risk and administrative charge under the Contracts (See “Experience Rating under the Contracts” and “Negotiated Charges and Fees”).
Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Charge (Contracts issued on or after December 7, 1981 and prior to May 2, 1983)
Although Variable Annuity payments made under the contracts will vary in accordance with the investment performance of the Fund shares, the payments will not be affected by (a) Talcott Resolution’s actual expenses, if greater than the deductions provided for in the contracts, or (b) Talcott Resolution’s actual mortality experience among Annuitants after retirement because of the expense and mortality undertakings by Talcott Resolution.
In providing an expense undertaking, Talcott Resolution assumes the risk that the deductions for sales expenses, the Annual Maintenance Fee and the Minimum Death Benefit during the Accumulation Period may be insufficient to cover the actual costs of providing such items.
The mortality undertaking provided by Talcott Resolution under the contracts, assuming the selection of one of the forms of life annuities, is to make monthly annuity payments (determined in accordance with the annuity tables and other provisions contained in the contract) to Contract Owners or Annuitant’s Accounts regardless of how long an Annuitant may live and regardless of how long all Annuitants as a group may live. This undertaking assures a Contract Owner that neither the longevity of an Annuitant nor an improvement in life expectancy will have any adverse effect on the monthly annuity payments the Employees will receive under the contract. It thus relieves the Contract Owner from the risk that Participants in the Plan will outlive the funds accumulated.
The mortality undertaking is based on Talcott Resolution’s actuarial determination of expected mortality rates among all Annuitants. If actual experience among Annuitants deviates from Talcott Resolution’s actuarial determination of expected mortality rates among Annuitants because, as a group, their longevity is longer than anticipated, Talcott Resolution must provide amounts from its general funds to fulfill its contract obligations. In that event, a loss will fall on Talcott Resolution. Conversely, if longevity among Annuitants is lower than anticipated, a gain will result to Talcott Resolution.
For assuming these risks Talcott Resolution makes a minimum daily charge against the value of the average daily assets held under DC-I and DC-II, as appropriate, of 1.25% with respect to the Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund and Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund Sub-Accounts where available, on an annual basis. This rate may be periodically increased by Talcott Resolution subject to a maximum annual rate of 2.00%. However, no increase will occur unless the Securities and Exchange Commission first approves the increase.
Transfer Fee
The Contracts provide for a Transfer Fee of $5 that applies to each transfer in excess of 12 made in a Participant Contract Year. We do not currently charge the $5 Transfer Fee.

Premium Taxes
We reserve the right to deduct a charge for Premium Tax imposed on Us by a state or other governmental entity. Certain states and municipalities impose a Premium Tax. In some cases, Premium Taxes are deducted at the time purchase payments are made; in other cases Premium Tax is assessed on the Annuity Commencement Date. We will pay Premium Taxes at the time imposed under applicable law. At Our sole discretion, We may deduct Premium Taxes at the time We pay such taxes to the applicable taxing authorities, at the time the Contract is surrendered, at the time a death benefit is paid, or at the time a Participant annuitizes.
Loan Fees
Loans may be subject to a one-time set-up fee of $50. In addition, loans may also be subject to an annual loan administration fee of $50. We do not currently charge the annual loan administration fee.
Experience Rating under the Contracts
We may apply experience credits under a Contract based on investment, administrative or other factors, including, but not limited to: (1) the total number of Participants, (2) the sum of all Participants’ Account values, (3) the allocation of Contract values between the General Account and the Separate Accounts under the Contract, (4) present or anticipated levels of Contributions, distributions, transfers, administrative expenses or commissions, and (5) whether We are the exclusive annuity contract provider. Experience credits can take the form of a reduction in the deduction for Program and Administrative Charges, a reduction in the term or amount of any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges, an increase in the rate of interest credited under the Contract, a reduction in the amount of the Annual Maintenance Fee or any combination of the foregoing. We may apply experience credits either prospectively or retrospectively. We may apply and allocate experience credits in such manner as We deem appropriate. Any such credit will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Contract Owners or Participants. Experience credits have been given in certain cases. Owners of Contracts receiving experience credits will receive notification regarding such credits. Experience credits may be discontinued at Our sole discretion in the event of a change in applicable factors. For Contracts issued in New York, We may only apply experience credits prospectively.
Negotiated Charges and Fees
The charges and fees described in this section vary from Contract to Contract, depending on plan characteristics. The Contract Owner can negotiate charges and fees. This flexibility allows Us and the Contract Owner to custom design a charge and fee structure that meets the financial goals of both the Contract Owner and Talcott Resolution.
Charges of the Funds
The Separate Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. The net asset value of the fund reflects investment advisory fees, distribution fees and operating expenses and administrative expenses already deducted from the assets of the Funds. These charges are described in the Underlying Fund’s prospectuses.
Plan Related Expenses: We can agree with the Contract Owner may direct us to deduct amounts from the assets under a Contract to pay certain administrative expenses or other Plan Related Expenses including, but not limited to, fees to consultants, auditors, counsel, Talcott Resolution and other Plan service providers. We will deduct and pay such amounts to the Contract Owner or as directed by the Contract Owner. We may agree to include these amounts as an adjustment to the charge for administrative undertakings for the Separate Account.
You should consult a tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of adviser fee payments. Please consult with your investment adviser before requesting us to pay financial adviser fees from this Contract compared to other assets you may have.
Any financial adviser fee you pay is in addition to this Contract’s fees and expenses.
You should ask your financial adviser about compensation they receive for this Contract. We are not an investment adviser, and we do not provide investment advice in connection with sales of the Contract. We are not a fiduciary to you, and do not make recommendations or assess suitability.
THE CONTRACTS
The Contracts are group variable annuity contracts. We can offer the Contracts for use in connection with Deferred Compensation Plans and Qualified Plans, including annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain tax-exempt organizations according to section 403(b) of the Code. In addition, we can offer the Contracts in connection with Individual Retirement Annuity Plans under section 408 of the Code.

Contract Owners who purchased a prior series of Contracts can make Contributions, subject to the terms and provisions of such Contracts. New Participants may be added to such existing Contracts, but no new Contracts under that prior series will be issued.
It is important that you notify us if you change your address. If your mail is returned to us, we are likely to suspend future mailings until an updated address is obtained. In addition, we may rely on a third party, including the U.S. Postal Service, to update your current address. Failure to give us a current address may result in payments due and payable on your Participant Account being considered abandoned property under state law (unless preempted by ERISA), and remitted to the applicable state.
Assignments
The Contract belongs to the Contract Owner. However, under certain Deferred Compensation Plans, the Contract Owner must hold the Contract for the exclusive benefit of the Plan’s Participants and Beneficiaries. The Contract Owner’s rights and privileges may only be exercised in a manner that is consistent with the written Plan adopted by the Contract Owner. Under certain circumstances, the Contract Owner’s interest in the Contract may be assigned. However, amounts held under a Contract on behalf of a Participant are nontransferable and cannot be assigned.
Pricing and Crediting of Contributions
We credit initial Contributions to your Participant Account within two Valuation Days of our receipt of a properly completed application and the initial Contribution at our Administrative Office.
If your application or other necessary information is incomplete when received, your initial Contribution will be credited to your Participant Account not later than two Valuation Days after the application is made complete. However, if an incomplete application is not made complete within five Valuation Days of its initial receipt, the Contribution will be immediately returned unless we inform the Contract Owner of the delay and the Contract Owner tells us not to return it.
Subsequent Contributions properly designated for your Participant Account that are received prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be invested on the same Valuation Day. Subsequent Contributions properly designated for your Participant Account that are received on a Non-Valuation Day or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be invested on the next Valuation Day.
Canceling your Individual Contract
For individual annuity contracts, if for any reason you are not satisfied with your Contract, simply return it within ten days after you receive it with a written request for cancellation that indicates your tax withholding instructions. In some states, you may be allowed more time to cancel your Contract. We may require additional information, including a signature guarantee before we can cancel your Contract.
Unless otherwise required by state law, We will pay you your Participant Account value as of the Valuation Day We receive your request to cancel and will refund any sales or Contract charges incurred during the period you participated in the Contract. The Participant Account value may be more or less than your Contributions depending upon the investment performance of your Participant Account. This means that you bear the risk of any decline in your Participant Account value until We receive your notice of cancellation. In certain states, however, We are required to return your Contributions without deduction for any fees or charges.
Transfers between Sub-Accounts
During phases of your Contract when transfers are permissible, you may make transfers between Sub-Accounts according to the following policies and procedures, as they may be amended from time to time.
A Sub-Account transfer is a transaction requested by you that involves reallocating part or all of your Participant Account value among the Funds available in your Contract. Your transfer request will be processed as of the end of the Valuation Day that it is received in good order. Otherwise, your request will be processed on the following Valuation Day. We will send you a confirmation when We process your transfer. You are responsible for verifying transfer confirmations and promptly reporting any inaccuracy or discrepancy to Us and your Registered Representative. Any oral communication should be re-confirmed in writing.
You may request a transfer into (purchases) a particular Sub-Account or transfers out of (redemptions) a particular Sub-Account. In addition, you may allocate Contributions to or request Surrenders from Sub-Accounts. We combine all the daily requests to transfer out of a Sub-Account along with all Surrenders from that Sub-Account and determine how many shares of that Fund We would need to sell to satisfy all Participants’ “transfer-out” requests. At the same time, We also combine all the daily requests to transfer into a particular Sub-Account or Contributions allocated to that Sub-Account and determine how many shares of that Underlying Fund We would need to buy to satisfy all Participants’ “transfer-in” requests.

In addition, many of the Underlying Funds that are available as investment options in Our variable annuity products are also available as investment options in variable life insurance policies, retirement plans, funding agreements and other products offered by Us or Our affiliates. Each day, investors and participants in these other products engage in similar transfer transactions.
We take advantage of Our size and available technology to combine sales of a particular Underlying Fund for many of the variable annuities, variable life insurance policies, retirement plans, funding agreements or other products offered by Us or Our affiliates. We also combine many of the purchases of that particular Underlying Fund for many of the products We offer. We then “net” these trades by offsetting purchases against redemptions. Netting trades has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund shares that you purchase or sell. This means that We sometimes reallocate shares of a Fund rather than buy new shares or sell shares of the Fund.
For example, if We combine all transfer-out (redemption) requests and Surrenders of a Sub-Account with all other sales of that Underlying Fund from all Our other products, We may have to sell $1 million dollars of that Fund on any particular day. However, if other Participants and the owners of other products offered by Us, want to transfer-in (purchase) an amount equal to $300,000 of that same Fund, then We would send a sell order to the Fund for $700,000 (a $1 million sell order minus the purchase order of $300,000) rather than making two or more transactions.
Restrictions on Sub-Account Transfers
First, you may make only one Sub-Account transfer request each day. We limit each Participants to one Sub-Account transfer request each Valuation Day. We count all Sub-Account transfer activity that occurs on any one Valuation Day as one “Sub-Account transfer,” however, you cannot transfer the same Participant Account value more than once a Valuation Day.
For Example:
If the only transfer you make on a day is a transfer of $10,000 from one Sub-Account into another Sub-Account, it would count as one Sub-Account transfer.
If, however, on a single day you transfer $10,000 out of one Sub-Account into five other Sub-Accounts (dividing the $10,000 among the five other Sub-Accounts however you chose), that day’s transfer activity would count as one Sub-Account transfer.
Likewise, if on a single day you transferred $10,000 out of one Sub-Account into ten other Sub-Accounts (dividing the $10,000 among the ten other Sub-Account however you chose), that day’s transfer activity would count as one Sub-Account transfer.
Conversely, if you have $10,000 in Participant Account value distribution among 10 different Sub-Accounts and you request to transfer the Participant Account value in all those Sub-Accounts into one Sub-Account, that would also count as one Sub-Account transfer.
However, you cannot transfer the same Participant Account value more than once in one day. That means if you have $10,000 in a money market fund Sub-Account and you transfer all $10,000 into a stock fund Sub-Account, on that same day you could not then transfer the $10,000 out of the stock fund Sub-Account into another Sub-Account.
Second, you are allowed to submit a total of 20 Sub-Account transfers each Calendar Year (the “Transfer Rule”) by U.S. Mail, Voice Response Unit, internet, or telephone. Once you have reached the maximum number of Sub-Account transfers, you may only submit any additional Sub-Account transfer requests and any trade cancellation requests in writing through U.S. Mail or overnight delivery service. In other words, Voice Response Unit, internet or telephone transfer requests will not be honored. We may, but are not obligated to, notify you when you are in jeopardy of approaching these limits. For example, We will send you a letter after your 10th Sub-Account transfer to remind you about the Transfer Rule. After your 20th transfer request, Our computer system will not allow you to do another Sub-Account transfer by telephone, Voice Response Unit or via the internet. You will then be instructed to send your Sub-Account transfer request by U.S. Mail or overnight delivery service.
We may aggregate a Contract Owner’s Contracts or a Participant’s Participant Accounts for the purposes of enforcing these restrictions.
The Transfer Rule does not apply to Sub-Account transfers that occur automatically as part of a Company sponsored asset allocation program. Reallocations made based on a Fund merger or liquidation also do not count toward this transfer limit. Restrictions may vary based on state law.
The Contracts provide for a Transfer Fee of $5 that applies to each transfer in excess of 12 made in a Participant Contract Year. We do not currently charge the $5 Transfer Fee.
We make no assurances that the Transfer Rule is or will be effective in detecting or preventing market timing.
Third, policies have been designed to restrict excessive Sub-Account transfers. You should not purchase or become a Participant under this Contract if you want to make frequent Sub-Account transfers for any reason. In particular, don’t purchase or

become a Participant under this Contract if you plan to engage in “market timing,” which includes frequent transfer activity into and out of the same Fund, or frequent Sub-Account transfers in order to exploit any inefficiencies in the pricing of a Fund. Even if you do not engage in market timing, certain restrictions may be imposed on you, as discussed below:
Fund Trading Policies
Generally, you are subject to an Underlying Fund’s trading policies, if any. We are obligated to provide, at the Underlying Fund’s request, tax identification numbers and other shareholder identifying information contained in Our records to assist Funds in identifying any pattern or frequency of Sub-Account transfers that may violate their trading policy. In certain instances, We have agreed to serve as a Fund’s agent to help monitor compliance with that Underlying Fund’s trading policy.
We are obligated to follow each Underlying Fund’s instructions regarding enforcement of their trading policy. Penalties for violating these policies may include, among other things, temporarily or permanently limiting or banning Sub-Account transfers into an Underlying Fund or other funds within that fund complex. We are not authorized to grant exceptions to an Fund’s trading policy. Please refer to each Underlying Fund’s prospectus for more information. Transactions that cannot be processed because of the Underlying Fund’s trading policies will be considered not in good order.
In certain circumstances, the Underlying Fund’s trading policies do not apply or may be limited. For instance:
•Certain types of financial intermediaries may not be required to provide Us with shareholder information.
“Excepted funds” such as money market funds and any Underlying Fund that affirmatively permits short-term trading of its securities may opt not to adopt this type of policy. This type of policy may not apply to any financial intermediary that an Underlying Fund treats as a single investor.
An Underlying Fund can decide to exempt categories of Contract Owners whose contracts are subject to inconsistent trading restrictions or none at all.
Non-shareholder initiated purchases or redemptions may not always be monitored. These include Sub-Account transfers that are executed: (i) automatically pursuant to a company sponsored contractual or systematic program such as transfers of assets as a result of asset allocation programs, automatic rebalancing programs, Annuity payouts, loans, or systematic withdrawal programs; (ii) as a result of the payment of a Death Benefit; (iii) as a result of any deduction of charges or fees under a Contract; or (iv) as a result of payments such as loan repayments, scheduled contributions, scheduled withdrawals, surrenders, or retirement plan contributions.
Possibility of Undetected Abusive Trading or Market Timing. We may not be able to detect or prevent all abusive trading activities. For instance,
Since We net all the purchases and redemptions for a particular Underlying Fund for this and many of Our other products, transfers by any specific market timer could be inadvertently overlooked.
Certain forms of variable annuities and types of Underlying Funds may be attractive to market timers. We cannot provide assurances that we will be capable of addressing possible abuses in a timely manner.
These policies apply only to individuals and entities that own or are Participants under this Contract. However, the Underlying Funds that make up the Sub-Accounts of this Contract are available for use with many different variable life insurance policies, variable annuity products and funding agreements, and they are offered directly to certain qualified retirement plans. Some of these products and plans may have different or less restrictive transfer rules or no transfer restrictions at all.
In some cases, We are unable to count the number of Sub-Account transfers requested by Participants or enforce the Transfer Rule because We do not keep Participant Account records for a Contract. In those cases, the Participant Account records and Participant Sub-Account transfer information are kept by the Contract Owner or its third party service provider. These Contract Owners and third party service providers may provide Us with limited information or no information at all regarding Participant Sub-Account transfers.
Impact of Frequent Transfers
We are not responsible for losses or lost investment opportunities associated with the effectuation of these policies. Frequent Sub-Account transfers may result in the dilution of the value of the outstanding securities issued by a Fund as a result of increased transaction costs and lost investment opportunities typically associated with maintaining greater cash positions. This can adversely impact Fund performance and, as a result, the performance of your Participant Account. This may also lower the Death Benefit paid to your Beneficiary or lower Annuity payouts for your payee as well as reduce value of other optional benefits available under your Contract.
Separate Account investors could be prevented from purchasing Fund shares if We reach an impasse on the execution of a Fund’s trading instructions. In other words, a Fund complex could refuse to allow new purchases of shares by all Our variable

product investors if the Fund and We cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement on how to treat an investor who, in a Fund’s opinion, has violated the Fund’s trading policy.
In some cases, We do not have the tax identification number or other identifying information requested by a Fund in Our records. In those cases, We rely on the Contract Owner to provide the information. If the Contract Owner does not provide the information, We may be directed by the Fund to restrict the Contract Owner from further purchases of Fund shares. In those cases, all Participants under a plan funded by the Contract will also be precluded from further purchases of Fund shares.
General Account Option Transfers
You may make transfers out of the General Account Option to the Sub-Accounts, subject to the transfer restrictions discussed below. All transfer allocations must be in whole numbers (e.g., 1%). For Contracts issued or amended on or after May 1, 1992:
• Transfers of assets presently held in the General Account option, or which were held in the General Account option at any time during the preceding three months, to any account that we determine is a competing account, are prohibited.
• Similarly, transfers of assets presently held in any account during the preceding three months, that we determine is a competing account, to the General Account option, are prohibited.
In addition, we may limit the maximum amount transferred or Surrendered from the General Account option under a Participant Account to 20% of such portion of the Participant Account held in the General Account option in any one Participant Contract Year.
These restrictions apply to all transfers from the General Account Option, including all systematic transfers. As a result of these limitations, it may take a longer period of time (i.e., several years) to move Participant Account values in the General Account Option to Sub-Accounts and therefore this may not provide an effective short-term defensive strategy.
Telephone and Internet Transfers
Transfer instructions received by telephone on any Valuation Day before the end of any Valuation Day will be carried out that day. Otherwise, the instructions will be carried out at the end of the next Valuation Day.
Transfer instructions you send electronically are considered to be received by Us at the time and date stated on the electronic acknowledgement we return to you. If the time and date indicated on the acknowledgement is before the end of any Valuation Day, the instructions will be carried out that Valuation Day. Otherwise, the instructions will be carried out at the end of the next Valuation Day. If you do not receive an electronic acknowledgement, you should contact Us as soon as possible.
We will send you a confirmation when we process your transfer. You are responsible for verifying transfer confirmations and promptly advising us of any errors within 30 days of receiving the confirmation.
Telephone or internet transfer requests may be cancelled via the internet or by calling Us before the end of the Valuation Day you made the transfer request.
We, Our agents or Our affiliates are not responsible for losses resulting from telephone or electronic requests that We believe are genuine. We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions received by telephone or through Our website are genuine, including a requirement that Contract Owners and Participants provide certain identifying information, including a personal identification number. We record all telephone transfer instructions. We may suspend, modify, or terminate telephone or electronic transfer privileges at any time.
Contract Value
Your Participant Account value reflects the sum of the amounts under your Participant Account allocated to the General Account option and the Sub-Accounts.
There are two things that affect your Sub-Account value: (1) the number of Accumulation Units and (2) the Accumulation Unit value. The Sub-Account value is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units by the Accumulation Unit value. Therefore, on any Valuation Day the portion of your Participant Account allocated to the Sub-Accounts will reflect the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts and will fluctuate with the performance of the Underlying Funds.
Contributions made or Contract values allocated to a Sub-Account are converted into Accumulation Units by dividing the amount of the Contribution or allocation, minus any Premium Taxes, by the Accumulation Unit value for that Valuation Day. The more Contributions or Contract values allocated to the Sub-Accounts under your Participant Account, the more Accumulation Units will be reflected under your Participant Account. You decrease the number of Accumulation Units in a Sub-Account under

your Participant Account by requesting Surrenders, transferring money out of a Sub-Account, submitting a Death Benefit claim or by electing an Annuity payout from your Participant Account.
To determine the current Accumulation Unit value, We take the prior Valuation Day’s Accumulation Unit value and multiply it by the Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Day. The value of the Separate Account is determined at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the investment performance of a Sub-Account from one Valuation Day to the next. The Net Investment Factor for each Sub-Account is calculated by dividing (a) by (b) and multiplying (c) where:
(a) is the net asset value per share plus applicable distributions per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end of the current Valuation Day.
(b) is the net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end of the prior Valuation Day.
(c) is the daily factor representing the mortality and expense risk charge and any applicable administration charge deducted from the Sub-Account, adjusted for the number of days in the Valuation Period, and any other applicable charge.
We will send you a statement for each calendar quarter, that tells you how many Accumulation Units you have, their value and your total Participant Account value. You can also call 1-844-804-8989 to obtain your Participant Account value or, where available, you may access your account information through our website at www.massmutual.com/govnp.
Shares of the Underlying Funds are valued at net asset value on a daily basis. A complete description of the valuation method used in valuing Fund shares may be found in the Underlying Funds’ prospectus.
Surrenders and Withdrawals
IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION: There are certain restrictions on section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. As of December 31, 1988, all section 403(b) annuities have limits on full and partial surrenders. Contributions to the Contract made after December 31, 1988 and any increases in cash value after December 31, 1988 may not be distributed unless the Contract Owner/employee has a) attained age 59 12, b) a severance from employment, c) died, d) become disabled or e) experienced financial hardship (cash value increases may not be distributed for hardships prior to age 59 12). Distributions prior to age 59 12 due to financial hardship or separation from service may still be subject to a penalty tax of 10%. We will not assume any responsibility for determining whether a withdrawal is permissible, with or without tax penalty, in any particular situation; or in monitoring withdrawal requests regarding pre or post January 1, 1989 Contract Values. Any full or partial Surrender described above may affect the continuing tax-qualified status of some Contracts or plans and may result in adverse tax consequences to the Contract Owner. The Contract Owner, therefore, should consult with a tax adviser before undertaking any such Surrender (See “ Federal Tax Considerations”).
After termination of Contributions on your behalf and prior to your Annuity Commencement Date, you will have the following options:
1.
Continue your Participant’s Account under the Contract. Under this option, when the selected Annuity Commencement Date arrives, payments will begin under the selected Annuity payout option (See “Annuity Payout Options”). At any time before the Annuity Commencement Date, you may your Participant Account for a lump sum cash settlement in accordance with 3. below.
2.
To provide Annuity payouts immediately. The values in your Participant’s Account may be applied, subject to contractual provisions, to provide for Fixed or Variable Annuity payouts, or a combination thereof, commencing immediately, under the selected Annuity payout option under the Contract (See “Annuity Payout Options”).
3.
To Surrender your Account in a single sum. The amount received will be the value next computed after receipt of a written Surrender request for complete Surrender at the Empower Administrative Office, less any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, Annual Maintenance Fee and Premium Taxes. Payment will normally be made within seven days after We receive the written request.
4.
To request a partial Surrender of your Participant’s Account. Partial Surrenders are taken from the Sub-Account(s) that you specify. If you do not specify the Sub-Account(s), We will take the amount out of all applicable Sub-Account(s) on a pro rata basis. We will deduct any applicable Sales Charges from the partial Surrender (See “Contract Charges”).
5.
To begin making monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual withdrawals while allowing your Participant Account to remain in the Accumulation Period. Your Participant Account remains subject to the Annual

Maintenance Fee and any fluctuations in the investment results of the Sub-Accounts or any of the underlying investments. You may transfer the values of your Participant Account from one or more Sub-Accounts or the General Account option to any other Sub-Account, the General Account option or to any combination thereof, subject to Contract restrictions (See “Systematic Withdrawal Option”).
Systematic Withdrawal Option
If permitted by IRS regulations and the terms of the Plan, a Participant can make withdrawals while allowing his or her Participant Account to remain in the Accumulation Period under the Contract. Eligibility under this provision is limited to Participants who have terminated their employment with the Employer at the time they elect the Systematic Withdrawal Option (“SWO”). Payments are limited to 18.0% of the Participant’s Account annually. The minimum payment amount is $100. SWO payments generally are taxable as ordinary income and, if made prior to age 59 12 , an IRS tax penalty may apply. Any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge otherwise applicable is waived on SWO payments.
Participants elect the specific dollar amount to be withdrawn, the frequency of payments (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually) and the duration of payments (either a fixed number of payments or until the Participant’s Account is depleted). The duration of payments may not extend beyond the Participant’s life expectancy as of the beginning date of SWO payments or the joint and last survivor life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary. Participants may not elect the SWO if there is an outstanding loan amount.
A Participant can change the terms of a SWO as often as four times in each calendar year, can terminate the SWO at any time, and can elect one of the five available Annuity options or a partial or full lump sum withdrawal. If a partial or full lump sum withdrawal is elected within 12 months of a SWO payment, the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge that was previously waived, if any, will be deducted from the Participant’s Account upon withdrawal. Unless you direct otherwise, SWO payments will be deducted on a pro rata basis from the General Account option and each Sub-Account to which the Participant’s Account is allocated.
The SWO may only be elected pursuant to an election on a form provided by Us. Election of the SWO does not affect Participants’ other rights under the Contracts.
Payment of Surrender Value
Payments from the Sub-Accounts may be delayed beyond seven days only for periods (1) during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend or holidays closings, or during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (2) during which an emergency exists that makes the valuation and disposal of the securities not reasonably practical; and (3) such other periods that the SEC may by order permit for the protection of investors.
Annuity Options
You are not required to annuitize this Contract. A Participant selects an Annuity Commencement Date (usually between the Participant’s 50th birthday and the date on which the Participant attains age 70 12) and an Annuity payout option. The Annuity Commencement Date may be any day of any month before or including the month of a Participant’s 75th birthday, or an earlier date if prescribed by applicable law.
The Annuity Commencement Date and/or the Annuity payment option may be changed from time to time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to the date on which Annuity payouts are scheduled to begin. Annuity payouts will normally be made on the first business day of each month, or another mutually agreed upon business day.
The Contract contains five Annuity payout options that may be selected on either a Fixed or Variable Annuity basis, or a combination thereof. If a Participant does not elect otherwise, We reserve the right to begin Annuity payouts at age 75 under Option 2 with 120 monthly payments certain. However, unless required by applicable law, We will not assume responsibility in determining or monitoring any required minimum distributions (See “Federal Tax Considerations”). Generally, depending on the terms of your retirement plan, you may select from the following payment frequencies: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually.
Annuity Payout Options
Option 1: Life Annuity where We make monthly Annuity payouts for as long as the Annuitant lives.

Payments under this option stop with the last monthly payment preceding the death of the Annuitant, even if the Annuitant dies after one payment. This option offers the maximum level of monthly payments of any of the other life annuity options (Options 2-4) since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor a provision for a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
Option 2: Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain where We make monthly payments for the life of the Annuitant with the provision that payments will be made for a minimum of 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected. If, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been made for less than the minimum elected number of months, then any remaining guaranteed monthly payments will be paid to the Beneficiary unless other provisions have been made and approved by Us.
Option 3: Unit Refund Life Annuity where We make monthly payments during the life of the Annuitant terminating with the last payment due prior to the death of the Annuitant, except that an additional payment will be made to the Beneficiary if (a) below exceeds (b) below:
(a)
=
total amount applied under the option
at the Annuity Commencement Date
 
 
Annuity Unit value at the Annuity Commencement Date
(b)
=
number of Annuity Units represented by each monthly
Annuity payout made
×
number of monthly Annuity payouts made
The amount of the additional payments is determined by multiplying the excess, if any, by the Annuity Unit value as of the date We receive Due Proof of Death.
Option 4: Joint and Last Survivor Annuity where We make monthly payments during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated individual (called the joint Annuitant) and then throughout the remaining lifetime of the survivor, ending with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
When the Annuity is purchased, the Annuitant elects what percentage (50%, 662/3%, 75% or 100%) of the monthly Annuity payout will continue to be paid to the survivor.
Under this Option 4, it would be possible for an Annuitant and joint Annuitant to receive only one payment in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the Annuitant and joint Annuitant prior to the due date for the second payment.
Option 5: Payments for a Designated Period where We agree to make monthly payments for the number of years selected. Under the Contracts, the minimum number of years is five. In the event of the Annuitant’s death prior to the end of the designated period, the present value of any then remaining payments will be paid in one lump sum to the Beneficiary unless other provisions have been made and approved by Us.
Option 5 does not involve life contingencies and does not provide any mortality guarantee.
Surrenders are subject to the limitations set forth in the Contract and any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (See “Contract Charges”).
For Contracts issued in New York, no surrenders are permitted by the Annuitant after Annuity payments commence under Option 5.
Once Annuity payouts have started, no Surrenders are permitted except from an annuity under Annuity Payout Option 5 - Payments for a Designated Period – that are paid on a variable basis. Such surrenders may be subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.
Options 2 and 5 are available only if the guaranteed Annuity payout period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant or the joint life expectancy of the Annuitant and their Joint Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective. Such life expectancy shall be computed on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the IRS or, if none is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by Us.
We may offer other Annuity payout options from time to time. Not all Annuity payout options will be available in all states or in all Contracts.
Calculation of Annuity Payment
During the Annuity Period, your Participant Account Value will be applied to the Annuity Payout Option on either a fixed or variable basis, as you select. The minimum Annuity payout is $20. No election may be made which results in a first payment of less than $20. If at any time Annuity payouts are or become less than $20 We have the right to change the frequency of payment to intervals that will result in payments of at least $20.

Variable Annuity Payments
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account for any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by the product of (1) the Net Investment Factor (see “Contract Value”) for the day for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated, and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed net investment rate discussed below.
The value of the Contract is determined as the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit credited to each Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth business day preceding the date the first Annuity payout is due and the number of Accumulation Units credited to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
The first monthly payment varies according to the Annuity payout option selected. The Contract cites Annuity tables derived from the 1983a Individual Annuitant Mortality Table with an assumed interest rate (“A.I.R.”) of 4.00% per annum. The total first monthly Annuity payout is determined by multiplying the value (expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account (less any applicable Premium Taxes) by the amount of the first monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts. With respect to Fixed Annuities only, the current rate will be applied if it is higher than the rate under the tables in the Contract.
Level Annuity payouts would be provided if the net investment rate remained constant and equal to the A.I.R. In fact, payments will vary up or down in the proportion that the net investment rate varies up or down from the A.I.R. A higher A.I.R. may produce a higher initial payment but more slowly rising and more rapidly falling subsequent payments than would a lower interest rate assumption.
The amount of the first monthly Annuity payout, determined as described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate Sub-Account not later than the fifth business day preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to determine the number of Annuity Units represented by the first payment. This number of
Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity Period, and in each subsequent month the dollar amount of the Annuity payout is determined by multiplying this fixed number of Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
The Annuity payouts will be made on the date selected. The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the Annuity payouts will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as of the close of business on a day not more than the fifth business day preceding the date of the Annuity payout.
Here is an example of how a Variable Annuity is determined:
ILLUSTRATION OF ANNUITY PAYOUTS:
(UNISEX) AGE 65, LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 PAYMENTS CERTAIN

The above figures are simply to illustrate the calculation of a Variable Annuity and have no bearing on the actual historical record of any Separate Account.

Death Benefits
Determination of the Beneficiary: The Beneficiary is the person or persons designated to receive payment of the death benefit upon the death of the Participant. If no designated Beneficiary remains living at the death of the Participant, the Participant’s estate is the Beneficiary.
Death before the Annuity Commencement Date:
Death Prior to age 65: If the Participant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date or the Participant’s attainment of age 65 (whichever comes first) the Minimum Death Benefit is payable to the Beneficiary. The Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of (a) the Termination Value of your Participant Account determined as of the day we receive Due Proof of Death or (b) 100% of the total Contributions made to your Participant Account, reduced by any prior partial Surrenders. “Termination Value” means the value of a Participant’s Account on any Valuation Day before the Annuity Commencement Date less any applicable Premium Taxes not already deducted and any applicable contingent deferred Sales Charge.
Death on or after age 65: If the Participant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date but on or after the Participant’s 65th birthday, the Beneficiary will receive the Termination Value of your Participant Account as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death at our Administrative Offices.
Calculation of the death benefit: If the Participant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the death benefit will be calculated as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death. The death benefit remains invested in the Separate Account and/or General Account option according to your last instructions until the proceeds are paid or We receive new settlement instructions from the Beneficiary(ies). During the time period between our receipt of Due Proof of Death and our receipt of the completed settlement instructions, the calculated death benefit will be subject to market fluctuations.
If the proceeds are taken in a single sum, payment will normally be made within seven days of our receipt of completed settlement instructions.
You may apply the death benefit payment to any one of the Annuity payout options under the Separate Account (See “Annuity Payout Options”) instead of receiving the death benefit payment in a single sum. An election to receive payment of death benefits under an Annuity payout option must be made before a lump sum settlement and within one year after the death by written notice to us at our Administrative Offices. Proceeds due on death may be applied to provide variable payments, fixed payments, or a combination of variable and fixed payments. No election to provide Annuity payouts will become operative unless the initial Annuity payout is at least $20 on either a variable or fixed basis, or $20 on each basis when a combination benefit is elected. The manner in which the Annuity payouts are determined and in which they may vary from month to month are the same as applicable to a Participant’s Account after retirement.
Death on or after the Annuity Commencement Date: If the Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, there may be no payout at death unless the Annuitant has elected an Annuity payout option that permits the Beneficiary to elect to continue Annuity payouts or to receive the computed value.
Participant Loans
During the Accumulation Period, a Participant under a Tax-Sheltered Annuity plan may request a loan from his or her Participant Account. Loans from a Participant’s Account may not be available in all states or may be subject to restrictions. When you initiate a loan from your Participant Account, we deduct a loan set-up fee of $50. In addition, while your loan is outstanding, we deduct a $50 annual loan administration fee from your Participant Account on a quarterly basis. We currently waive the annual loan administration fee.
When you take a loan from your Participant Account, for record-keeping purposes, an amount equal to your loan, plus interest, is placed into a loan account. When you make loan repayments, the amount of the loan account decreases until your loan

account is re-paid in full. You must pay back your loan according to the payment schedule set by the terms of your loan agreement. The loan agreement describes the terms, conditions, and any fees or charges of your loan.
Loans will have a permanent effect on the Participant’s Account because the investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to the amount remaining in such Sub-Account. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the impact on the Participant’s Account is likely to be. Also, if not repaid, the outstanding loan balance will reduce the death benefit otherwise payable to the Beneficiary.

Federal Tax Considerations
General
The following summary of tax rules does not provide or constitute any tax advice. It provides only a general discussion of certain of the expected federal income tax consequences with respect to amounts contributed to, invested in or received from a Contract, based on Our understanding of the existing provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations thereunder, and public interpretations thereof by the IRS (e.g., Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures or Notices) or by published court decisions. This summary discusses only certain federal income tax consequences to United States Persons, and does not discuss state, local or foreign tax consequences. The term United States Persons means citizens or residents of the United States, domestic corporations, domestic partnerships, trust or estates that are subject to United States federal income tax, regardless of the source of their income.
This summary has been prepared by Us after consultation with tax counsel, but no opinion of tax counsel has been obtained. We do not make any guarantee or representation regarding any tax status (e.g., federal, state, local or foreign) of any Contract or any transaction involving a Contract. In addition, there is always a possibility that the tax treatment of an annuity contract could change by legislation or other means (such as regulations, rulings or judicial decisions). Moreover, it is always possible that any such change in tax treatment could be made retroactive (that is, made effective prior to the date of the change). Accordingly, you should consult a qualified tax adviser for complete information and advice before purchasing a Contract.
THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ONLY. SPECIAL TAX RULES MAY APPLY WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS THAT ARE NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN. EACH POTENTIAL PURCHASER OF A CONTRACT IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISER AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY AMOUNTS INVESTED IN A CONTRACT UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAW.
Civil Unions & Domestic Partnerships
Upon your death, a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights under the Contract that he or she may elect to exercise for the Contract’s death benefit and any joint-life coverage under an optional living benefit. All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Parties to a civil union or domestic partnership are not treated as spouses under federal law. Consequently, certain transactions, such as change of ownership or continuation of the contract after death, may be taxable to those individuals. You should consult a tax and/or legal advisor for more information on this subject if it applies to you.
Tax Reporting
The federal, as well as state and local, tax laws and regulations require Us to report certain transactions with respect to the Contract (such as an exchange of or a distribution from the Contract) to the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities, and generally to provide you with a copy of what was reported. This copy is not intended to supplant your own records. It is your responsibility to ensure that what you report to the Internal Revenue Service and other relevant taxing authorities on your income tax returns is accurate based on your books and records. You should review whatever is reported to the taxing authorities by Us against your own records, and in consultation with your own tax advisor, and should notify Us if you find any discrepancies in case corrections have to be made.
Taxation of Talcott Resolution and the Separate Account
The Separate Account is taxed as part of Talcott Resolution which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of Chapter 1 of the Code. Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code. Investment income and any realized capital gains on assets of the Separate Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of the Accumulation and Annuity Units. (See “Contract Value”). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.

Currently, no taxes are due on interest, dividends and short-term or long-term capital gain earned by the Separate Account with respect to the Contracts. Talcott Resolution is entitled to certain tax benefits related to the investment of company assets, including assets of the Separate Account. These tax benefits, which may include the foreign tax credit and the corporate dividends received deduction, are not passed back to you since Talcott Resolution is the owner of the assets from which the tax benefits are derived.
Diversification of the Separate Account
For certain types of Contracts, the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) requires that investments supporting these Contracts be adequately diversified. Code Section 817(h) provides that a variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any period during which the investments made by the separate account or Underlying Fund are not adequately diversified. If a contract is not treated as an annuity contract, the contract owner will be subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department’s diversification regulations under Code Section 817(h) require, among other things, that:
no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the segregated asset account underlying a variable contract is represented by any one investment,
•no more than 70% is represented by any two investments,
•no more than 80% is represented by any three investments and
•no more than 90% is represented by any four investments.
In determining whether the diversification standards are met, all securities of the same issuer, all interests in the same real property project, and all interests in the same commodity are each treated as a single investment. In the case of government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer.
A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards on the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days after the quarter ends. If an insurance company inadvertently fails to meet the diversification requirements, the company may still comply within a reasonable period and avoid the taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the insurer or the contract owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the diversification requirements were not met.
Tax Ownership of the Assets in the Separate Account
In order for certain variable annuity contracts to qualify for tax income deferral, assets in the separate account supporting the contract must be considered to be owned by the insurance company, and not by the contract owner, for tax purposes. The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered the “owner” of separate account assets for income tax purposes if the contract owner possesses sufficient incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. In circumstances where the variable contract owner is treated as the “tax owner” of certain separate account assets, income and gain from such assets would be includable in the variable contract owner’s gross income. The U.S. Tax Court followed the IRS position and held that a variable contract owner would be treated for federal tax purposes as the owner of the separate account assets (Webber v. Commissioner, 14 Tax Court No. 17, June 30, 2015). The Treasury Department indicated in 1986 that it would provide guidance on the extent to which contract owners may direct their investments to particular sub-accounts without being treated as tax owners of the underlying shares. Although no such regulations have been issued to date, the IRS has issued a number of rulings that indicate that this issue remains subject to a facts and circumstances test for both variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. The distinction between when a variable contract owner will be determined to own the separate account under the analysis of the IRS and the Tax Court can best be illustrated by the following IRS rulings.
Rev. Rul. 2003-92, amplified by Rev. Rul. 2007-7, indicates that, where interests in a partnership offered in an insurer’s separate account are not available exclusively through the purchase of a variable insurance contract (e.g., where such interests can be purchased directly by the general public or others without going through such a variable contract), such “public availability” means that such interests should be treated as owned directly by the contract owner (and not by the insurer) for tax purposes, as if such contract owner had chosen instead to purchase such interests directly (without going through the variable contract). None of the shares or other interests in the fund choices offered in Our Separate Account for your Contract are available for purchase except through an insurer’s variable contracts or by other permitted entities.
Rev. Rul. 2003-91 indicates that an insurer could provide as many as 20 fund choices for its variable contract owners (each with a general investment strategy, e.g., a small company stock fund or a special industry fund) under certain circumstances, without causing such a contract owner to be treated as the tax owner of any of the Underlying Fund assets. The ruling does not specify the number of fund options, if any, that might prevent a variable contract owner from receiving favorable tax treatment.

As a result, We believe that any owner of a Contract also should receive the same favorable tax treatment. However, there is necessarily some uncertainty here as long as the IRS continues to use a facts and circumstances test for investor control and other tax ownership issues. Therefore, We reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to prevent you from being treated as the tax owner of any underlying assets.
Non-Natural Persons as Owners
Pursuant to Code Section 72(u), an annuity contract held by a taxpayer other than a natural person generally is not treated as an annuity contract under the Code. Instead, such a non-natural Contract Owner generally could be required to include in gross income currently for each taxable year the excess of (a) the sum of the Contract Value as of the close of the taxable year and all previous distributions under the Contract over (b) the sum of net premiums paid for the taxable year and any prior taxable year and the amount includable in gross income for any prior taxable year with respect to the Contract under Section 72(u). However, Section 72(u) does not apply to:
A contract the nominal owner of which is a non-natural person but the beneficial owner of which is a natural person (e.g., where the non-natural owner holds the contract as an agent for the natural person),
•A contract acquired by the estate of a decedent by reason of such decedent’s death,
•Certain contracts acquired with respect to tax-qualified retirement arrangements,
•Certain contracts held in structured settlement arrangements that may qualify under Code Section 130, or
A single premium immediate annuity contract under Code Section 72(u)(4), which provides for substantially equal periodic payments and an annuity starting date that is no later than 1 year from the date of the contract’s purchase.
A non-natural Contract Owner that is a tax-exempt entity for federal tax purposes (e.g., a tax-qualified retirement trust or a Charitable Remainder Trust) generally would not be subject to federal income tax as a result of such current gross income under Code Section 72(u). However, such a tax-exempt entity, or any annuity contract that it holds, may need to satisfy certain tax requirements in order to maintain its qualification for such favorable tax treatment. See, e.g., IRS Tech. Adv. Memo. 9825001 for certain Charitable Remainder Trusts.
Pursuant to Code Section 72(s), if the Contract Owner is a non-natural person, the primary annuitant is treated as the “holder” in applying the required distribution rules described below. These rules require that certain distributions be made upon the death of a “holder.” In addition, for a non-natural owner, a change in the primary annuitant is treated as the death of the “holder.” However, the provisions of Code Section 72(s) do not apply to certain contracts held in tax-qualified retirement arrangements or structured settlement arrangements.
Annuity Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on taxable annuity distributions at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies and any required tax forms are submitted to Talcott Resolution. If withholding applies, We are required to withhold tax at the 30% rate, or a lower treaty rate if applicable, and remit it to the IRS. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state premium tax, other state and/or municipal taxes, and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence.
Generation Skipping Transfer Tax
Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a “generation skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require Talcott Resolution to deduct the tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans
This summary does not attempt to provide more than general information about the federal income tax rules associated with use of a Contract by a tax-qualified retirement plan. State income tax rules applicable to tax-qualified retirement plans often differ from federal income tax rules, and this summary does not describe any of these differences. Because of the complexity of the tax rules, owners, participants and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to specific tax consequences.
The Contracts are available to a variety of tax-qualified retirement plans and arrangements (a “Qualified Plan” or “Plan”). Tax restrictions and consequences for Contracts or accounts under each type of Qualified Plan differ from each other and from those for Non-Qualified Contracts. In addition, individual Qualified Plans may have terms and conditions that impose additional

rules. Therefore, no attempt is made herein to provide more than general information about the use of the Contract with the various types of Qualified Plans. Participants under such Qualified Plans, as well as Contract Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries, are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under such Qualified Plans may be subject to terms and conditions of the Plans themselves or limited by applicable law, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract issued in connection therewith. Qualified Plans generally provide for the tax deferral of income regardless of whether the Qualified Plan invests in an annuity or other investment. You should consider if the Contract is a suitable investment if you are investing through a Qualified Plan.
The following is only a general discussion about types of Qualified Plans for which the Contracts may be available. We are not the plan administrator for any Qualified Plan. The plan administrator or custodian, whichever is applicable, (but not Us) is responsible for all Plan administrative duties including, but not limited to, notification of distribution options, disbursement of Plan benefits, handling any processing and administration of Qualified Plan loans, compliance with regulatory requirements and federal and state tax reporting of income/distributions from the Plan to Plan participants and, if applicable, beneficiaries of Plan participants and IRA contributions from Plan participants. Our administrative duties are limited to administration of the Contract and any disbursements of any Contract benefits to the Owner, annuitant or beneficiary of the Contract, as applicable. Our tax reporting responsibility is limited to federal and state tax reporting of income/distributions to the applicable payee and IRA contributions from the Owner of a Contract, as recorded on Our books and records. If you are purchasing a Contract through a Qualified Plan, you should consult with your Plan administrator and/or a qualified tax adviser. You also should consult with a qualified tax adviser and/or Plan administrator before you withdraw any portion of your Contract Value.
The tax rules applicable to Qualified Contracts and Qualified Plans, including restrictions on contributions and distributions, taxation of distributions and tax penalties, vary according to the type of Qualified Plan, as well as the terms and conditions of the Plan itself. Various tax penalties may apply to contributions in excess of specified limits, plan distributions (including loans) that do not comply with specified limits, and certain other transactions relating to such Plans. Accordingly, this summary provides only general information about the tax rules associated with use of a Qualified Contract in such a Qualified Plan. In addition, some Qualified Plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into Our administrative procedures. Owners, participants, and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with applicable tax (and non-tax) law and any applicable Qualified Plan terms. Because of the complexity of these rules, Owners, participants and beneficiaries are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser as to specific tax consequences.
We do not currently offer the Contracts in connection with all of the types of Qualified Plans discussed below, and may not offer the Contracts for all types of Qualified Plans in the future.
Individual Retirement Annuities (“IRAs”)
In addition to “traditional” IRAs governed by Code Sections 408(a) and (b) (“Traditional IRAs”), there are Roth IRAs governed by Code Section 408A, SEP IRAs governed by Code Section 408(k), and SIMPLE IRAs governed by Code Section 408(p). Also, Qualified Plans under Code Section 401, 403(b) or 457(b) that include after-tax employee contributions may be treated as deemed IRAs subject to the same rules and limitations as Traditional IRAs. Contributions to each of these types of IRAs are subject to differing limitations. The following is a very general description of each type of IRA for which a Contract is available.
a.Traditional IRAs
Traditional IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that may be contributed each year, the persons who may be eligible, and the time when minimum distributions must begin. Depending upon the circumstances of the individual, contributions to a Traditional IRA may be made on a deductible or non-deductible basis. Failure to make required minimum distributions (“RMDs”) when the Owner reaches their Required Beginning Date or dies (or the distribution qualifies for one of the other exceptions to the penalty on early distributions), as described below, may result in imposition of a 25% penalty tax on any excess of the RMD amount over the amount actually distributed. This excise tax is reduced to 10% if a distribution of the shortfall is made within two years and to the date the excise tax is assessed or imposed by the IRS. In addition, any amount received before the Owner reaches age 59 12 or dies is subject to a 10% penalty tax on premature distributions, unless a special exception applies, as described below. Under Code Section 408(e), an IRA may not be used for borrowing (or as security for any loan) or in certain prohibited transactions, and such a transaction could lead to the complete tax disqualification of an IRA.
You (or your surviving spouse if you die) may rollover funds tax-free from certain existing Qualified Plans (such as proceeds from existing insurance contracts, annuity contracts or securities) into a Traditional IRA under certain circumstances, as indicated below. However, mandatory tax withholding of 20% may apply to any eligible rollover distribution from certain types of Qualified Plans if the distribution is not transferred directly to the Traditional IRA. Effective January 1, 2020, non-spouse “designated beneficiaries” of a deceased Owner must generally receive distributions within 10 years of the death of the Owner. However, the life expectancy payout option (a/k/a “IRA stretch”) is still available for non-spouse beneficiaries who are “Eligible Designated Beneficiaries” enabling them to make a tax-free “direct rollover” (in the form of a direct transfer between Plan

fiduciaries, as described below in “Rollover Distributions”) from certain Qualified Plans to a Traditional IRA for such beneficiary, but such Traditional IRA must be designated and treated as an “inherited IRA” that remains subject to applicable RMD rules (as if such IRA had been inherited from the deceased Plan participant). “Eligible Designated Beneficiaries” include beneficiaries who are not more than 10 years younger, disabled, chronically ill, and minors until age of majority, at which time the 10-year rule applies. In addition, such a Plan is not required to permit such a rollover.
b.SEP IRAs
Code Section 408(k) provides for a Traditional IRA in the form of an employer-sponsored defined contribution plan known as a Simplified Employee Pension (“SEP”) or a SEP IRA. A SEP IRA can have employer, and in limited circumstances employee and salary reduction contributions, as well as higher overall contribution limits than a Traditional IRA, but a SEP is also subject to special tax-qualification requirements (e.g., on participation, nondiscrimination and withdrawals) and sanctions. Otherwise, a SEP IRA is generally subject to the same tax rules as for a Traditional IRA, which are described above. Please note that the IRA rider for the Contract has provisions that are designed to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification as an IRA, and therefore could limit certain benefits under the Contract (including endorsement, rider or option benefits) to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification.
c.SIMPLE IRAs
The Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees of small employers (“SIMPLE Plan”) is a form of an employer-sponsored Qualified Plan that provides IRA benefits for the participating employees (“SIMPLE IRAs”). Depending upon the SIMPLE Plan, employers may make plan contributions into a SIMPLE IRA established by each eligible participant. Like a Traditional IRA, a SIMPLE IRA is subject to the 25% penalty tax for failure to make a full RMD (or reduced amount), and to the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions, as described below. In addition, the 10% penalty tax is increased to 25% for amounts received during the 2-year period beginning on the date you first participated in a qualified salary reduction arrangement pursuant to a SIMPLE Plan maintained by your employer under Code Section 408(p)(2). Contributions to a SIMPLE IRA may be either salary deferral contributions or employer contributions, and these are subject to different tax limits from those for a Traditional IRA. Please note that the SIMPLE IRA rider for the Contract has provisions that are designed to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification as an SIMPLE IRA, and therefore could limit certain benefits under the Contract (including endorsement, rider or option benefits) to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification.
A SIMPLE Plan may designate a single financial institution (a Designated Financial Institution) as the initial trustee, custodian or issuer (in the case of an annuity contract) of the SIMPLE IRA set up for each eligible participant. However, any such Plan also must allow each eligible participant to have the balance in his SIMPLE IRA held by the Designated Financial Institution transferred without cost or penalty to a SIMPLE IRA maintained by a different financial institution. Absent a Designated Financial Institution, each eligible participant must select the financial institution to hold his SIMPLE IRA, and notify his employer of this selection.
If We do not serve as the Designated Financial Institution for your employer’s SIMPLE Plan, for you to use one of Our Contracts as a SIMPLE IRA, you need to provide your employer with appropriate notification of such a selection under the SIMPLE Plan. If you choose, you may arrange for a qualifying transfer of any amounts currently held in another SIMPLE IRA for your benefit to your SIMPLE IRA with Us.
d.Roth IRAs
Code Section 408A permits eligible individuals to establish a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible, but withdrawals of amounts contributed and the earnings thereon that meet certain requirements are not subject to federal income tax. In general, Roth IRAs are subject to limitations on the amounts that may be contributed by the persons who may be eligible to contribute, certain Traditional IRA restrictions, and certain RMD rules on the death of the Contract Owner. Unlike a Traditional IRA, Roth IRAs are not subject to RMD rules during the Contract Owner’s lifetime. Generally, however, upon the Owner’s death the amount remaining in a Roth IRA must be distributed by the end of the tenth year after such death for non-spouse designated beneficiaries or distributed over the life or life expectancy of an Eligible Designated Beneficiary. The Owner of a Traditional IRA or other qualified plan assets may convert a Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA under certain circumstances. The conversion of a Traditional IRA or other qualified plan assets to a Roth IRA will subject the fair market value of the converted Traditional IRA to federal income tax in the year of conversion. In addition to the amount held in the converted Traditional IRA, the fair market value may include the value of additional benefits provided by the annuity contract on the date of conversion, based on reasonable actuarial assumptions. Tax-free rollovers from a Roth IRA can be made only to another Roth IRA under limited circumstances, as indicated below. Distributions from eligible Qualified Plans can be “rolled over” directly (subject to tax) into a Roth IRA under certain circumstances. Anyone considering the purchase of a Qualified Contract as a Roth IRA or a “conversion” Roth IRA should consult with a qualified tax adviser. Please note that the Roth IRA rider for the Contract has provisions that are designed to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification as a Roth IRA, and therefore could limit certain benefits under the Contract (including endorsement, rider or option benefits) to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification.

Qualified Pension or Profit-Sharing Plan or Section 401(k) Plan
Provisions of the Code permit eligible employers to establish a tax-qualified pension or profit sharing plan (described in Section 401(a), and Section 401(k) if applicable, and exempt from taxation under Section 501(a)). Such a Plan is subject to limitations on the amounts that may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible to participate, the amounts of “incidental” death benefits, and the time when RMDs must commence. There are annual limits on contributions to 401(a) defined contribution plans generally, and to 401(k) plans specifically. Salary reduction contributions to a 401(k) option cannot exceed the lesser of a dollar limit ($23,000 in 2024) or 100% of the employee’s “includible compensation.” For participants over age 50, a special additional catch-up provision may be available ($7,500 in 2024). In addition, a Plan’s provision of incidental benefits may result in currently taxable income to the participant for some or all of such benefits. In addition, elective deferrals made by participants under a 401(k) arrangement are subject to specific distribution limitations similar to those outlined below for 403(b) plans. Amounts may be rolled over tax-free from a Qualified Plan to another Qualified Plan under certain circumstances, as described below. Anyone considering the use of a Qualified Contract in connection with such a Qualified Plan should seek competent tax and other legal advice.
In particular, please note that these tax rules provide for limits on death benefits provided by a Qualified Plan (to keep such death benefits “incidental” to qualified retirement benefits), and a Qualified Plan (or a Qualified Contract) often contains provisions that effectively limit such death benefits to preserve the tax qualification of the Qualified Plan (or Qualified Contract). In addition, various tax-qualification rules for Qualified Plans specifically limit increases in benefits once RMDs begin, and Qualified Contracts are subject to such limits. As a result, the amounts of certain benefits that can be provided by any option under a Qualified Contract may be limited by the provisions of the Qualified Contract or governing Qualified Plan that are designed to preserve its tax qualification.
Tax-Sheltered Annuity under Section 403(b) (“TSA”)
Code Section 403(b) permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations described in Code Section 501(c)(3) to purchase a “tax-sheltered annuity” (“TSA”) contract and, subject to certain limitations, exclude employer contributions to a TSA from such an employee’s gross income. Generally, total contributions may not exceed the lesser of an annual dollar limit ($23,000 in 2024) or 100% of the employee’s “includable compensation” for the most recent full year of service, subject to other adjustments. There are also legal limits on the annual elective deferrals a participant may be permitted to make under a TSA. In certain cases, such as when the participant is age 50 or older, those limits may be increased ($7,500 in 2024). A TSA participant should contact the Plan administrator to determine applicable elective contribution limits. Special provisions may allow certain employees different overall limitations.
A TSA is subject to a prohibition against distributions from the TSA attributable to contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement, unless such distribution is made:
a.after the employee reaches age 59 12;
b.upon the employee’s separation from service;
c.upon the employee’s death or disability;
d.in the case of hardship as defined in applicable regulations (and in the case of hardship, any income attributable to such contributions may not be distributed);
e.as a qualified reservist distribution upon certain calls to active duty; or
f.with respect to amounts invested in a lifetime income investment, the date that is 90 days prior to the day that such lifetime income investment may no longer be held as an investment option under the plan.
An employer sponsoring a TSA may impose additional restrictions on your TSA through its Plan document.
Please note that the TSA rider for the Contract has provisions that are designed to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification as a TSA, and therefore could limit certain benefits under the Contract (including endorsement, rider or option benefits) to maintain the Contract’s tax qualification. In particular, please note that tax rules provide for limits on death benefits provided by a Qualified Plan (to keep such death benefits “incidental” to qualified retirement benefits), and a Qualified Plan (or a Qualified Contract) often contains provisions that effectively limit such death benefits to preserve the tax qualification of the Qualified Plan (or Qualified Contract). In addition, various tax-qualification rules for Qualified Plans specifically limit increases in benefits once RMDs begin, and Qualified Contracts are subject to such limits. As a result, the amounts of certain benefits that can be provided by any option under a Qualified Contract may be limited by the provisions of the Qualified Contract or governing Qualified Plan that are designed to preserve its tax qualification. In addition, a life insurance contract issued after September 23, 2007 is generally ineligible to qualify as a TSA.
Amounts may be rolled over tax-free from a TSA to another TSA or Qualified Plan (or from a Qualified Plan to a TSA) under certain circumstances, as described below. However, effective for TSA contract exchanges after September 24, 2007,

Reg. 1.403(b)-10(b) allows a TSA contract of a participant or beneficiary under a TSA Plan to be exchanged tax-free for another eligible TSA contract under that same TSA Plan, but only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) such TSA Plan allows such an exchange, (2) the participant or beneficiary has an accumulated benefit after such exchange that is no less than such participant’s or beneficiary’s accumulated benefit immediately before such exchange (taking into account such participant’s or beneficiary’s accumulated benefit under both TSA contracts immediately before such exchange), (3) the second TSA contract is subject to distribution restrictions with respect to the participant that are no less stringent than those imposed on the TSA contract being exchanged, and (4) the employer for such TSA Plan enters into an agreement with the issuer of the second TSA contract under which such issuer and employer will provide each other from time to time with certain information necessary for such second TSA contract (or any other TSA contract that has contributions from such employer) to satisfy the TSA requirements under Code Section 403(b) and other federal tax requirements (e.g., plan loan conditions under Code Section 72(p) to avoid deemed distributions). Such necessary information could include information about the participant’s employment, information about other Qualified Plans of such employer, and whether a severance has occurred, or hardship rules are satisfied, for purposes of the TSA distribution restrictions. Consequently, you are advised to consult with a qualified tax advisor before attempting any such TSA exchange, particularly because it requires an agreement between the employer and issuer to provide each other with certain information.
Deferred Compensation Plans under Section 457 (“Section 457 Plans”)
Certain governmental employers, or tax-exempt employers other than a governmental entity, can establish a Deferred Compensation Plan under Code Section 457. For these purposes, a “governmental employer” is a State, a political subdivision of a State, or an agency or an instrumentality of a State or political subdivision of a State. A Deferred Compensation Plan that meets the requirements of Code Section 457(b) is called an “Eligible Deferred Compensation Plan” or “Section 457(b) Plan.” Code Section 457(b) limits the amount of contributions that can be made to an Eligible Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of a participant. Generally, the limitation on contributions is the lesser of (1) 100% of a participant’s includible compensation or (2) the applicable dollar amount, ($23,000 in 2024). The Plan may provide for additional “catch-up” contributions. One catch-up contribution allows participants over age 50 to make additional contributions each year ($7,500 in 2024); while another permits 457(b) pre-retirement contributions in the three prior years to, but not including, the year the participant reaches normal retirement age. A participant cannot use both catch-up provisions concurrently. In addition, under Code Section 457(d) a Section 457(b) Plan may not make amounts available for distribution to participants or beneficiaries before (1) the calendar year in which the participant attains age 59 12, (2) the participant has a severance from employment (including death), (3) the participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency (as determined in accordance with regulations), or (4) with respect to amounts invested in a lifetime income investment, the date that is 90 days prior to the date that such lifetime income investment may no longer be held as an investment option under the Plan.
Under Code Section 457(g) all of the assets and income of an Eligible Deferred Compensation Plan for a governmental employer must be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. For this purpose, annuity contracts, certain other insurance contracts, and custodial accounts described in Code Section 401(f) are treated as trusts. This trust requirement does not apply to amounts under an Eligible Deferred Compensation Plan of a tax-exempt (nongovernmental) employer. In addition, this trust requirement does not apply to amounts held under a Deferred Compensation Plan of a governmental employer that is not a Section 457(b) Plan. Where the trust requirement does not apply, amounts held under a Section 457 Plan must remain subject to the claims of the employer’s general creditors under Code Section 457(b)(6).
Taxation of Amounts Received from Qualified Plans
Except under certain circumstances in the case of Roth IRAs or Roth accounts in a Qualified Plan, amounts received from Qualified Contracts or Plans generally are taxed as ordinary income under Code Section 72, to the extent that they are not treated as a tax-free recovery of after-tax contributions or other “investment in the contract.” For annuity payments and other amounts received after the Annuity Commencement Date from a Qualified Contract or Plan, Code Section 72 provides the tax rules for determining what portion of each amount received represents a tax-free recovery of “investment in the contract”.
For non-periodic amounts from certain Qualified Contracts or Plans, Code Section 72(e)(8) provides special rules that generally treat a portion of each amount received as a tax-free recovery of the “investment in the contract,” based on the ratio of the “investment in the contract” over the Contract Value at the time of distribution. However, in determining such a ratio, certain aggregation rules may apply and may vary, depending on the type of Qualified Contract or Plan. For instance, all Traditional IRAs owned by the same individual are generally aggregated for these purposes, but such an aggregation does not include any IRA inherited by such individual or any Roth IRA owned by such individual.
In addition, penalty taxes, mandatory tax withholding or rollover rules may apply to amounts received from a Qualified Contract or Plan, as indicated below, and certain exclusions may apply to certain distributions (e.g., distributions from an eligible

Government Plan to pay qualified health insurance premiums of an eligible retired public safety officer). Accordingly, you are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking or receiving any amount (including a loan) from a Qualified Contract or Plan.
Penalty Taxes for Qualified Plans
Unlike Non-Qualified Contracts, Qualified Contracts are subject to federal penalty taxes not just on premature distributions, but also on excess contributions and failures to make required minimum distributions (“RMDs”). Penalty taxes on excess contributions can vary by type of Qualified Plan and which person made the excess contribution (e.g., employer or an employee). The penalty taxes on premature distributions and failures to make timely RMDs are more uniform and are described in more detail below.
a.Penalty Taxes on Premature Distributions
Code Section 72(t) imposes a penalty income tax equal to 10% of the taxable portion of a distribution from certain types of Qualified Plans that is made before the employee reaches age 59 12. However, this 10% penalty tax does not apply to a distribution that is either:
(i)made to a beneficiary (or to the employee’s estate) on or after the employee’s death;
(ii)attributable to the employee’s becoming disabled under Code Section 72(m)(7);
(iii) part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually  —  “SEPPs”) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such employee and a designated beneficiary (“SEPP Exception”), and for certain Qualified Plans (other than IRAs) such a series must begin after the employee separates from service;
(iv) (except for IRAs) made to an employee after separation from service after reaching age 55 (or made after age 50 in the case of a qualified public safety employee separated from certain government plans);
(v)(except for IRAs) made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order under Code Section 414(p) (a similar exception for IRAs in Code Section 408(d)(6) covers certain transfers for the benefit of a spouse or ex-spouse);
(vi) not greater than the amount allowable as a deduction to the employee for eligible medical expenses during the taxable year which are not reimbursed by health insurance (without regard to whether the taxpayer deducts the unreimbursed medical expenses);
(vii) certain qualified reservist distributions under Code Section 72(t)(2)(G) upon a call to active duty;
(viii) distributions of up to $5,000 from a retirement plan in the case of a birth or adoption of a child under Code Section 72(t)(2)(H); or
(ix) certain designated qualified disaster distributions.
In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to a distribution from an IRA that is either:
(i)made after separation from employment to an unemployed IRA owner for health insurance premiums, if certain conditions are met;
(ii)not in excess of the amount of certain qualifying higher education expenses, as defined by Code Section 72(t)(7);
(iii) for a qualified first-time home buyer and meets the requirements of Code Section 72(t)(8); or
(iv) certain other exceptions to the 10% penalty tax.
If the taxpayer avoids this 10% penalty tax by qualifying for the SEPP Exception and later such series of payments is modified (other than by death or disability), the 10% penalty tax will be applied retroactively to all the prior periodic payments (i.e., penalty tax plus interest thereon), unless such modification is made after both (a) the employee has reached age 59 12 and (b) 5 years have elapsed since the first of these periodic payments.
For any premature distribution from a SIMPLE IRA during the first 2 years that an individual participates in a salary reduction arrangement maintained by that individual’s employer under a SIMPLE Plan, the 10% penalty tax rate is increased to 25%.
b.RMDs and 25% Penalty Tax
If the amount distributed from a Qualified Contract or Plan is less than the amount of the required minimum distribution (“RMD”) for the year, the participant is subject to a 25% penalty tax on the amount that has not been timely distributed. This excise tax is reduced to 10% if a distribution of the shortfall is made within two years and to the date the excise tax is assessed or imposed by the IRS.

An individual’s interest in a Qualified Plan generally must be distributed, or begin to be distributed, not later than the Required Beginning Date. Generally, the Required Beginning Date is April 1 of the calendar year following the later of  — 
(i)the calendar year in which the individual attains their applicable age, or
(ii)(except in the case of an IRA or a 5% owner, as defined in the Code) the calendar year in which a participant retires from service with the employer sponsoring a Qualified Plan that allows such a later Required Beginning Date.
If the individual attains (1) age 70 12 before 2020, the applicable age is 70 12; (2) age 72 during or after 2020 but before 2023, the applicable age is 72; (3) age 72 during or after 2023 and age 73 before 2033, the applicable age is 73; or (4) age 74 after 2032, the applicable age is 75.
The entire interest of the individual must be distributed beginning no later than the Required Beginning Date over  — 
(a)the life of the individual or the lives of the individual and a designated beneficiary (as specified in the Code), or
(b)over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the individual or the joint life expectancy of the individual and a designated beneficiary.
Effective January 1, 2020, non-spouse “designated beneficiaries” of a deceased plan participant Owner must generally receive distributions within 10 years of the death of the participant. However, the life expectancy payout option (a/k/a “stretch payout”) is still available for non-spouse beneficiaries who are “Eligible Designated Beneficiaries” enabling them to make a tax-free “direct rollover” (in the form of a direct transfer between Plan fiduciaries, as described below in “Rollover Distributions”) from certain Qualified Plans to a Traditional IRA for such beneficiary, but such Traditional IRA must be designated and treated as an “inherited IRA” that remains subject to applicable RMD rules (as if such IRA had been inherited from the deceased Plan participant). “Eligible Designated Beneficiaries” include beneficiaries who are not more than 10 years younger, disabled, chronically ill, and minors until age of majority, at which time the 10-year rule applies.
If an individual dies after RMDs have begun for such individual, any remainder of the individual’s interest generally must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of the individual’s death.
The RMD rules that apply while the Contract Owner is alive do not apply with respect to Roth IRAs. The RMD rules applicable after the death of the Owner apply to all Qualified Plans, including Roth IRAs. In addition, if the Owner of a Traditional or Roth IRA dies and the Owner’s surviving spouse is the sole designated beneficiary, this surviving spouse may elect to treat the Traditional or Roth IRA as his or her own.
The RMD amount for each year is determined generally by dividing the account balance by the applicable life expectancy. This account balance is generally based upon the account value as of the close of business on the last day of the previous calendar year. RMD incidental benefit rules also may require a larger annual RMD amount. RMDs also can be made in the form of Annuity payments that satisfy the rules set forth in Regulations under the Code relating to RMDs.
In addition, in computing any RMD amount based on a contract’s account value, such account value must include the actuarial value of certain additional benefits provided by the contract. As a result, electing an optional benefit under a Qualified Contract may require the RMD amount for such Qualified Contract to be increased each year, and expose such additional RMD amount to the 25% penalty tax for RMDs (or reduced amount) if such additional RMD amount is not timely distributed. There is a recent exception to the RMD rules for certain lifetime income annuity benefits (Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts, or “QLAC”), provided by Revenue Ruling 2012-3 and proposed Treasury regulations.
Tax Withholding for Qualified Plans
Distributions from a Qualified Contract or Qualified Plan generally are subject to federal income tax withholding requirements. The federal income tax withholding requirements, including any “elections out” and the rate at which withholding applies are different for periodic and non-periodic distributions. Special rules apply when the distribution is an “eligible rollover distribution” from a Qualified Plan (described below in “Rollover Distributions”). In the latter case, tax withholding is mandatory at a rate of 20% of the taxable portion of the “eligible rollover distribution,” to the extent it is not directly rolled over to an IRA or other Eligible Retirement Plan (described below in “Rollover Distributions”). Payees cannot elect out of this mandatory 20% withholding in the case of such an “eligible rollover distribution.”
Also, special withholding rules apply with respect to distributions from non-governmental Section 457(b) Plans, and to distributions made to individuals who are neither citizens nor resident aliens of the United States.
Regardless of any “election out” (or any actual amount of tax actually withheld) on an amount received from a Qualified Contract or Plan, the payee is generally liable for any failure to pay the full amount of tax due on the includable portion of such amount received. A payee also may be required to pay penalties under estimated income tax rules, if the withholding and estimated tax payments are insufficient to satisfy the payee’s total tax liability.

Rollover Distributions
The current tax rules and limits for tax-free rollovers and transfers between Qualified Plans vary according to (1) the type of transferor Plan and transferee Plan, (2) whether the amount involved is transferred directly between Plans (a “direct transfer” or a “direct rollover”) or is distributed first to a participant or beneficiary who then transfers that amount back into another eligible Plan within 60 days (a “60-day rollover”), and (3) whether the distribution is made to a participant, spouse or other beneficiary. Accordingly, We advise you to consult with a qualified tax adviser before receiving any amount from a Qualified Contract or Plan or attempting some form of rollover or transfer with a Qualified Contract or Plan.
For instance, generally any amount can be transferred directly from one type of Qualified Plan to the same type of Plan for the benefit of the same individual, without limit (or federal income tax), if the transferee Plan is subject to the same kinds of restrictions as the transferor Plan and if other applicable conditions are met. Such a “direct transfer” between the same kinds of Plan is generally not treated as any form of “distribution” out of such a Plan for federal income tax purposes.
By contrast, an amount distributed from one type of Plan into a different type of Plan generally is treated as a “distribution” out of the first Plan for federal income tax purposes, and therefore to avoid being subject to such tax, such a distribution must qualify either as a “direct rollover” (made directly to another Plan) or as a “60-day rollover.” The tax restrictions and other rules for a “direct rollover” and a “60-day rollover” are similar in many ways, but if any “eligible rollover distribution” made from certain types of Qualified Plan is not transferred directly to another Plan by a “direct rollover,” then it is subject to mandatory 20% withholding, even if it is later contributed to that same Plan in a “60-day rollover” by the recipient. If any amount less than 100% of such a distribution (e.g., the net amount after the 20% withholding) is transferred to another Plan in a “60-day rollover”, the amount that is not rolled over remains subject to normal income tax plus any applicable penalty.
Under Code Sections 402(f)(2)(A) and 3405(c)(3) an “eligible rollover distribution” (which is both eligible for rollover treatment and subject to 20% mandatory withholding absent a “direct rollover”) is generally any distribution to an employee of any portion (or all) of the balance to the employee’s credit in any of the following types of “Eligible Retirement Plan”: (1) a Qualified Plan under Code Section 401(a) (“Qualified 401(a) Plan”), (2) a qualified annuity plan
under Code Section 403(a) (“Qualified Annuity Plan”), (3) a TSA under Code Section 403(b), or (4) a governmental Section 457(b) Plan. However, an “eligible rollover distribution” does not include any distribution that is either  — 
a.an RMD amount;
b.one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made either (i) for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee and a designated beneficiary, or (ii) for a specified period of 10 years or more; or
c.any distribution made upon hardship of the employee.
Before making an “eligible rollover distribution,” a Plan administrator generally is required under Code Section 402(f) to provide the recipient with advance written notice of the “direct rollover” and “60-day rollover” rules and the distribution’s exposure to the 20% mandatory withholding if it is not made by “direct rollover.” Generally, under Code Sections 402(c), 403(b)(8) and 457 (e)(16), a “direct rollover” or a “60-day rollover” of an “eligible rollover distribution” can be made to a Traditional IRA or to another Eligible Retirement Plan that agrees to accept such a rollover. However, the maximum amount of an “eligible rollover distribution” that can qualify for a tax-free “60-day rollover” is limited to the amount that otherwise would be includable in gross income. By contrast, a “direct rollover” of an “eligible rollover distribution” can include after-tax contributions as well, if the direct rollover is made either to a Traditional IRA or to another form of Eligible Retirement Plan that agrees to account separately for such a rollover, including accounting for such after-tax amounts separately from the otherwise taxable portion of this rollover. Separate accounting also is required for all amounts (taxable or not) that are rolled into a governmental Section 457(b) Plan from either a Qualified Section 401(a) Plan, Qualified Annuity Plan, TSA or IRA. These amounts, when later distributed from the governmental Section 457(b) Plan, are subject to any premature distribution penalty tax applicable to distributions from such a “predecessor” Qualified Plan.
Rollover rules for distributions from IRAs under Code Sections 408(d)(3) and 408A(d)(3) also vary according to the type of transferor IRA and type of transferee IRA or other Plan. For instance, generally no tax-free “direct rollover” or “60-day rollover” can be made between a “Non-Roth IRA” (Traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA) and a Roth IRA, and a transfer from Non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA, or a “conversion” of a Non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA, is subject to special rules. In addition, generally no tax-free “direct rollover” or “60-day rollover” can be made between an “inherited IRA” (Non-Roth or Roth) for a beneficiary and an IRA set up by that same individual as the original owner. Generally, any amount other than an RMD distributed from a Traditional or SEP IRA is eligible for a “direct rollover” or a “60-day rollover” to another Traditional IRA for the same individual. Similarly, any amount other than an RMD distributed from a Roth IRA is generally eligible for a “direct rollover” or a “60-day rollover” to another Roth IRA for the same individual. However, in either case such a tax-free 60-day rollover is limited to 1 per year (365-day period); whereas no l-year limit applies to any such “direct rollover.” Similar rules apply to a “direct rollover” or a “60-day rollover” of a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA to another SIMPLE IRA or a Traditional IRA, except that any distribution of employer

contributions from a SIMPLE IRA during the initial 2-year period in which the individual participates in the employer’s SIMPLE Plan is generally disqualified (and subject to the 25% penalty tax on premature distributions) if it is not rolled into another SIMPLE IRA for that individual. Amounts other than RMDs distributed from a Traditional or SEP IRA (or SIMPLE IRA after the initial 2-year period) also are eligible for a “direct rollover” or a “60-day rollover” to an Eligible Retirement Plan that accepts such a rollover, but any such rollover is limited to the amount of the distribution that otherwise would be includable in gross income (i.e., after-tax contributions are not eligible).
Special rules also apply to transfers or rollovers for the benefit of a spouse (or ex-spouse) or a non-spouse designated beneficiary, Plan distributions of property, and obtaining a waiver of the 60-day limit for a tax-free rollover from the IRS and to qualified Coronavirus Related Distributions.
Distribution
The Contracts are no longer offered for sale. MML Distributors, LLC (“MMLD”), a subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), is the principal underwriter of the Contracts, which are sold by affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealer, and financial institutions.
MMLD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1934 Act as a broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). The principal business address of MMLD is 1295 State Street, Springfield, MA 01111.
Financial Intermediaries receive commissions (described below under “Commissions”). Certain selected Financial Intermediaries also receive additional compensation (described below under “Additional Payments”). All or a portion of the payments made to Financial Intermediaries may be passed on to Registered Representatives according to a Financial Intermediaries’ internal compensation practices.
Affiliated broker-dealers also employ individuals called “wholesalers” in the sales process. Wholesalers typically receive commissions based on the type of Contract or optional benefits sold. Commissions are based on a specified amount of Premium Payments or Contract value.
Commissions
Upfront commissions paid to Financial Intermediaries generally range from 0% to up to 7% of each Contribution you pay for your Contract. Trail commissions (fees paid for customers that maintain their Contracts generally for more than 1 year) range up to 1.20% of your Contract value. MMLD pays different commissions based on the Contract variation that you buy.
Commission arrangements vary from one Financial Intermediary to another. We and MMLD are not involved in determining your Registered Representative’s compensation. Under certain circumstances, your Registered Representative may be required to return all or a portion of the commissions paid.
Check with your Registered Representative to verify whether your account is a brokerage or an advisory account. Your interests may differ from Ours and your Registered Representative (or the Financial Intermediary with which they are associated). Please ask questions to make sure you understand your rights and any potential conflicts of interest. If you are an advisory client, your Registered Representative (or the Financial Intermediary with which they are associated) can be paid both by you and MMLD and its affiliates based on what you buy. Therefore, profits, and your Registered Representative’s (or their Financial Intermediary’s) compensation, may vary by product and over time. Contact an appropriate person at your Financial Intermediary with whom you can discuss these differences.
Additional Payments
Subject to FINRA and Financial Intermediary rules, MMLD and its affiliates also make additional payments to Financial Intermediaries (who may or may not be affiliated with Us) to encourage the sale of this Contract and other contracts that We issue to retirement programs that We or Our affiliates offer (“Additional Payments”). Additional Payments are generally based on average net assets (or aged assets) of the contracts or programs attributable to a particular Financial Intermediary, on sales of the contracts or programs attributable to a particular Financial Intermediary, and/or sales expenses. Additional Payments may be used for various purposes, and may take various forms, such as:
Payments for access to Registered Representatives and/or Financial Intermediaries, such as through one-on-one wholesaler visits or attendance at national sales meetings or similar events.
Payments for inclusion of Our products on a Financial Intermediary’s “preferred list”; participation in, or visibility at, national and regional conferences; and/or articles in Financial Intermediary publications highlighting Our products and services.

Payments for various marketing expenses such as joint marketing campaigns and/or Financial Intermediary event advertising/participation; sponsorship of Financial Intermediary sales contests and/or promotions in which participants (including Registered Representatives) receive prizes such as travel awards, merchandise and recognition; and expenses of generating clients.
Payment and support to Underlying Fund companies including Fund related wholesaler support, training and marketing activities for certain Funds, and providing sales activity reports.
Sales support through such things as providing hardware and software, operational and systems integration, links to Our website from a Financial Intermediary’s websites; shareholder services (including sub-accounting) sponsorship of Financial Intermediary due diligence meetings; and/or expense allowances and reimbursements.
“Due diligence” payments for a Financial Intermediary’s examination of a product; payments for educational training, sales or training seminars, conferences and programs, sales and service desk training, and/or client or prospect seminar sponsorships.
•Occasional meals and entertainment, tickets to sporting events and other gifts.
More Information
Modification of the Contracts
Subject to any federal and state regulatory restrictions, we may modify the Contracts at any time by written agreement between the Contract Owner and us. No modification will affect the amount or term of any Annuities begun prior to the effective date of the modification, unless it is required to conform the Contract to, or give the Contract Owner the benefit of, any federal or state statutes or any rule or regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service.
On or after the fifth anniversary of any contract we may change, from time to time, any or all of the terms of the Contracts by giving 90 days advance written notice to the Contract Owner, except that the Annuity tables, guaranteed interest rates and the contingent deferred Sales Charges which are applicable at the time a Participant’s Account is established under a contract, will continue to be applicable.
We may modify the Contract at any time if such modification: (i) is necessary to make the Contract or the Separate Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject; or (ii) is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or annuity contracts; or (iii) is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Separate Account or the Sub-Account(s); or (iv) provides additional Separate Account options; or (v) withdraws Separate Account options. In the event of any such modification we will provide notice to the Contract Owner or to the payee(s) during the Annuity period. Talcott Resolution may also make appropriate endorsement in the Contract to reflect such modification.
A contract may be suspended by the Contract Owner by giving us written notice at least 90 days before the effective date of the suspension at our Administrative Office. A contract will be suspended automatically on its anniversary if the Contract Owner fails to assent to any modification of a contract. In this context, such modifications would have become effective on or before that anniversary.
Upon suspension, we will continue to accept Contributions, subject to the terms of the Contract, as such terms are applicable to Participant’s Accounts under the Contracts prior to such suspension. However, no Contributions will be accepted on behalf of any new Participant Accounts. Annuitants at the time of any suspension will continue to receive their Annuity payouts. The suspension of a contract will not preclude a Contract Owner from applying existing Participant’s Accounts to the purchase of Fixed or Variable Annuity benefits.
Reservation of Rights Under the Contract
We may, at Our sole discretion, elect not to exercise a right or reservation specified in this Contract. If we elect not to exercise a right or reservation, We are not waiving it. We may decide to exercise a right or a reservation that We previously did not exercise.
Legal Proceeding
Like other insurance companies, We are involved in lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory/legal proceedings. Certain lawsuits and legal actions the Company is involved in assert claims for substantial amounts. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending or future case, legal proceeding or regulatory action, We do not expect the ultimate result of any of these actions to result in a material adverse effect on the Company or its Separate Accounts.

Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Appendix A – Underlying Funds
The following is a list of the Underlying Funds currently available under the Contract. In the event more than one Underlying Funds were offered under the Contract, the Underlying Funds available to you may vary by Employer. In such an event, you should refer to your retirement plan documents for a list of Underlying Funds available to you. More information about the Underlying Fund is available in the prospectuses for the Fund, which may be amended from time to time and can be found online at https://plan.empower-retirement.com/plancloudws/fundprospectus. You can also request this information at no cost by calling (844) 804-8989 or sending an email request to participantservices@empower.com.
The current expenses and performance information below reflect fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds, but does not reflect the other fees and expenses that your Contract may charge. Expenses would be higher and performance would be lower if these charges were included. The past performance of a Fund is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

General Information
In order to supplement the description in the Prospectus, the following provides additional information about the Contracts and other matters which may be of interest to you. Terms used in this Statement of Additional Information have the same meanings as are defined in the Prospectus under the “Glossary of Special Terms.”
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company is a stock life insurance company originally incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts on June 5, 1902, and subsequently re-domiciled to Connecticut. Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company is authorized to do business in all states of the United States and the District of Columbia. In June 2018, the Company changed its name from Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company to Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company. Our corporate offices are located at 1 American Row, Hartford, CT 06103.
On January 1, 2013, Talcott Resolution entered into a reinsurance agreement and administrative services agreement with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) to re-insure the obligations of Talcott Resolution under the Contracts and to provide administration of the Contracts.
On December 20, 2020, MassMutual entered into a reinsurance agreement and subcontractor administrative services agreement with Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance (“Great-West”) to further re-insure the obligations of Talcott Resolution under the Contracts and to provide administration of the Contracts. On September 2, 2022, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company was re-named Empower Annuity and Insurance Company of America (“Empower”).
Empower has primary responsibility for administration of the Contract and the Separate Account. Empower or its affiliates may also provide recordkeeping and other service to the Plan for which they receive compensation from Plan assets.
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TR Re, Ltd. an approved Class E insurer under the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Our indirect parents are Talcott Resolution Life, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Talcott Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Our ultimate parent is Talcott Financial Group Investments, LLC. (“TFGI”), a Bermuda exempted limited liability company. We are ultimately controlled by A. Michael Muscolino and Alan Waxman.
Financial Condition of Talcott Resolution
We are obligated to pay all amounts promised to you under your Contract. All guarantees under the Contract are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying capabilities. We provide information about our financial strength in reports filed with state insurance departments. You may obtain information about us by contacting us using the information stated on the cover page of this prospectus, visiting our website at www.talcottresolution.com [talcottresolution.com] or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov [sec.gov]. You may also obtain reports and other financial information about us by contacting your state insurance department.
Non-Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting may increase the risk of financial statement errors.
As previously disclosed, management determined that there was a material weakness in the Company’s controls over the financial accounting and reporting for intercompany reinsurance, which was identified in connection with the restatement of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.The restatement corrected an error related to the accounting associated with affiliated reinsurance agreements entered into between the Company and its parent TR Re, Ltd., in which certain of the Company’s liabilities were reinsured to TR Re. During 2023, in the course of management’s continued assessment of internal controls, management has also determined there to be a material weakness in the implementation of control activities designed to reduce risks associated with changes to the Company’s control environment, stemming from significant changes in our business, regulatory requirements, or operations. The Company has taken steps to remediate these matters, including to enhance its processes and procedures related to the appropriate accounting for intercompany reinsurance, and to improve its
3

overall control activities aimed at reducing risks associated with changes to its control environment. The Company believes these changes will remediate the material weaknesses but if the Company's enhancements in internal controls fail to remediate the material weaknesses, or if the Company experiences additional internal control weaknesses, there could be a greater risk that current or future financial statements may not be accurate.
Legal Matters
All matters of applicable state law pertaining to the Contracts, including the Company’s right to issue the Contracts, have been passed upon by the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer. Eversheds Sutherland (USA) LLP of Washington, DC has provided advice on certain matters relating to the federal securities laws.
Services

Withholding
Annuity payments and other amounts received under the Contract are subject to income tax withholding unless the recipient elects not to have taxes withheld. The amounts withheld will vary among recipients depending on the tax status of the individual and the type of payments from which taxes are withheld.
Notwithstanding the recipient's election, withholding may be required with respect to certain payments to be delivered outside the United States. Moreover, special “backup withholding” rules may require the Company to disregard the recipient's election if the recipient fails to supply the Company with a “TIN” or taxpayer identification number (social security number for individuals), or if the Internal Revenue Service notifies the Company that the TIN provided by the recipient is incorrect.
We may be required to withhold at a rate of 30% under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) on certain distributions to foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities holding accounts on behalf of and/or the assets of U.S. persons unless the foreign entities provide us with certain certifications regarding their status under FATCA on the applicable IRS forms. Prospective purchasers with accounts in foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities are advised to consult with a competent tax advisor regarding the application of FATCA to their purchase situation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Contract Owners of Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company DC Variable Account I and the Board of Directors of Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America & Empower Life & Annuity Insurance Company of New York

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the sub-accounts listed in Appendix A of Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company DC Variable Account I (the “Separate Account”) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated in Appendix A, and the related notes, which include the financial highlights (collectively, the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the sub-accounts constituting the Separate Account as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the periods indicated in Appendix A, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated April 21, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Separate Account’s 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. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Denver, Colorado

We have served as the auditor of one or more separate accounts sponsored by Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company since 2022.

I. Organization:

Separate Account DC Variable Account 1 (the “Account”) is a separate investment account established by Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company (the “Sponsor Company”) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the Sponsor Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The contract owners of the Sponsor Company direct their deposits into various investment options (the “Sub-Accounts”) within the Account.

On May 31, 2018, a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement was completed by and among Hartford Holdings, Inc. (“HHI”) and its parent company, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“HFSG”), Hopmeadow Acquisition, Inc. (“Buyer”), Hopmeadow Holdings, LP (“Buyer Parent”) and Hopmeadow Holdings GP LLC (“Buyer Parent GP”), pursuant to which HHI agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity of Hartford Life, Inc. (“HLI”), the parent of the Sponsor Company and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company, to Buyer (the “Talcott Resolution Sale Transaction”). Buyer, Buyer Parent and Buyer Parent GP are funded by a group of investors (the “Investor Group”) led by Cornell Capital LLC, Atlas Merchant Capital LLC, TRB Advisors LP, Global Atlantic Financial Group, Pine Brook and J. Safra Group. HHI will also be a member of the Investor Group. The administration, terms, features and benefits of the contracts did not change as a result of the sale.

The Account is comprised of the following Sub-Accounts:

The Sub-Accounts are invested in mutual funds (the “Funds”) of the same name.

If a Fund is subject to a merger by the fund manager, the Sub-account invested in the surviving Fund acquires the net assets of the Sub-Account associated with the merging fund on the date disclosed. These amounts are reflected in the statements of changes in net assets as a net transfer. There are no funds subject to a merger in 2023. For financial statement purposes, assets received by the Sub-Account were recorded at fair value as follows:

 

24


Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor Company’s other assets and liabilities and are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor Company may conduct.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account, which are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP):

a) Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are computed using the average cost method. Dividend income is either accrued daily or as of the ex-dividend date based upon the fund. Net realized gain distributions income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Net realized gain distributions income represents those dividends from the Funds, which are characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.

b) Unit Transactions — Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values calculated at the close of the business day.

c) Federal Income Taxes — The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of the Sponsor Company, which is taxed as an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Sponsor Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to the contract owners. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income taxes. The Sponsor Company will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

d) Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimate contained within the financial statements are the fair value measurements.

e) Mortality Risk — The mortality risk associated with net assets allocated to contracts in the annuity period is determined using certain mortality tables. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Sponsor Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by the Sponsor Company to cover greater if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Sponsor Company.

f) Fair Value Measurements — The Sub-Accounts’ investments are carried at fair value in the Account’s financial statements. The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at the December 31, 2023 closing net asset value as determined by the appropriate Fund manager. For financial instruments that are carried at fair value, a hierarchy is used to place the instruments into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) by prioritizing the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Account has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 investments include highly liquid open-ended management investment companies (“mutual funds”).

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than unadjusted quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 investments include those that are model priced by vendors using observable inputs.

 

25


Level 3: Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment is used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2023, the Sub-Accounts invest in mutual funds which are carried at fair value and represent Level 1 investments under the fair value hierarchy levels.

3. Administration of the Account and Related Charges:

Each Sub-Account is charged certain fees, according to contract terms, as follows:

a) Mortality and Expense Risk Charges — The Sponsor Company, as an issuer of variable annuity contracts, assesses mortality and expense risk charges for which it receives a maximum annual fee of 1.25% of the Sub-Account’s average daily net assets. These charges are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations as a reduction in unit value.

b) Tax Expense Charges — If applicable, the Sponsor Company will make deductions up to a maximum rate of 3.50% of the contract’s average daily net assets to meet premium tax requirements. An additional tax charge based on a percentage of the Sub-Account’s average daily net assets may be assessed on partial withdrawals or surrenders. These charges are a redemption of units from applicable contract owners’ accounts and are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

c) Contract Maintenance Charges — An annual maintenance fee up to $30 may be charged. These charges are deducted through a redemption of units from applicable contract owners’ accounts and are reflected in contract maintenance charges on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

*

This represents the annualized contract expenses of the Sub-Account for the period indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the Funds and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units. Where the expense ratio is the same for each unit value, it is presented in both the lowest and highest columns.

 

**

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the Fund, divided by average net assets during the period. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Investment Income Ratios for periods less than a year are not annualized. As of December 31, 2022, the investment income ratio is no longer being shown as a range.

 

***

This represents the total return for the period indicated and reflects a deduction only for expenses assessed through the daily unit value calculation. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Account. The total returns are calculated for each 12-month period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period and are not annualized for periods less than one year.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts listed above comprising Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations for the year then ended , the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended , and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table above), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Account’s financial statements and financial highlights 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 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2023

1. Organization:

Separate Account Two (the “Account”) is a separate investment account established by Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company (the “Sponsor Company”) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the Sponsor Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The contract owners of the Sponsor Company direct their deposits into various investment options (the “Sub-Accounts”) within the Account.
The Sponsor Company is indirectly owned by Talcott Resolution Life, Inc.

On June 30, 2021, the Account's previous indirect owner, Hopmeadow Holdings GP LLC, completed the sale of the Sponsor Company through the merger of an affiliate of Sixth Street, a global investment firm. Sixth Street obtained 100% control of Talcott Holdings, L.P. and its life and annuity operating subsidiaries including the Account. This transaction does not impact the contracts of the Account or the accounting of the Account.
The Account is comprised of the following Sub-Accounts:

American Century VP Capital Appreciation Fund, AB VPS International Value Portfolio, Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund, Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund, Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund, Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund, AB VPS Relative Value Portfolio (Formerly AB VPS Growth and Income Portfolio), American Funds Insurance Series® Growth Fund, Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio, Columbia Variable Portfolio - Small Company Growth Fund, Allspring VT Discovery All Cap Growth Fund (Formerly Allspring VT Omega Growth Fund), Fidelity® VIP Asset Manager Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Growth Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Contrafund® Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Overseas Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2030 Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2025 Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Freedom Income Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP FundsManager 50% Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP FundsManager 70% Portfolio, Franklin Income VIP Fund, Hartford Balanced HLS Fund, Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Healthcare HLS Fund, Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, BlackRock S&P 500 Index V.I.

Sub-Account may invest in one or more share classes of a Fund, depending upon the product(s) available in that Sub-Account. A contract owner's unitized performance correlates with the share class associated with the contract owner's product.

If a Fund is subject to a merger by the Fund Manager, the Sub-Account invested in the surviving Fund acquires, at fair value, the net assets of the Sub-Account associated with the merging Fund on the date disclosed. These transfers are reflected in net interfund transfers due to corporate actions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor Company’s other assets and liabilities and are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor Company may conduct.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Account qualifies as an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies." The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account, which are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"):

a) Security Transactions - Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are computed using the average cost method. Dividend income is either accrued daily or as of the ex-dividend date based upon the Fund. Net realized gain distributions are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Net realized gain distributions represent those dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.

b) Unit Transactions - Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values calculated at the close of the business day.

c) Federal Income Taxes - The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of the Sponsor Company, which is taxed as an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Sponsor Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to the contract owners. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income taxes. The Sponsor Company will review periodically the status of this policy. In the event of changes in the tax law, a charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

d) Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates contained within the financial statements are the fair value measurements.

e) Mortality Risk - The mortality risk associated with net assets allocated to contracts in the annuity period is determined using certain mortality tables. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Sponsor Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by the Sponsor Company to cover greater longevity of contract owners than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Sponsor Company. These amounts are included in net annuity transactions on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

f) Fair Value Measurements - The Sub-Accounts' investments are carried at fair value in the Account’s financial statements. The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at the December 31, 2023 closing net asset value as determined by the appropriate Fund Manager. For financial instruments that are carried at fair value, a hierarchy is used to place the instruments into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) by prioritizing the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Account has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 investments include mutual funds.

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than unadjusted quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 investments include those that are model priced by vendors using observable inputs.

Level 3: Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment is used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2023, the Sub-Accounts invest in mutual funds which are carried at fair value and represent Level 1 investments under the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no Level 2 or Level 3 investments in the Sub-Accounts. The Account recognizes transfers of securities among the levels at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers among the levels for the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

g) Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions - The statute of limitations is closed through the 2019 tax year and the Sponsor Company is not currently under examination for any open years.  Management evaluates whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required at December 31, 2023.



3. Administration of the Account and Related Charges:

Each Sub-Account is charged certain fees, according to contract terms, as follows:

a) Mortality and Expense Risk Charges - The Sponsor Company, as an issuer of variable annuity contracts, assesses mortality and expense risk charges for which it receives a maximum annual fee of 1.50% of the Sub-Account’s average daily net assets. These charges are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations as a reduction in unit value.

The following is a summary of units, unit fair values, net assets, expense ratios, investment income ratios, and total return ratios as of or for each of the periods presented for the aggregate of all share classes within each Sub- Account that had outstanding units during the period ended December 31, 2023. The ranges presented are calculated using the results of only the contracts with the highest and lowest expense ratios that had assets during the period reported. A specific unit value or ratio may be outside of the range presented in this table due to the initial assigned unit values, combined with varying performance and/or length of time since inception of the presented expense ratios that had assets during the period reported. Investment income and total return ratios are calculated for the period the related share class within the Sub-Account is active, while the expense ratio is annualized. In the case of fund mergers, the expense, investment income, and total return ratios are calculated using only the results of the surviving fund and exclude the results of the fund merged into the surviving fund. For the fund merged into the surviving fund the results are through the date of the fund merger. Corporate actions are identified for only the current year, prior years’ corporate actions are disclosed in the respective year’s report.

Excluded are expenses of the Funds and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units. Where the expense ratio is the same for each unit value, it is presented in both the lowest and highest columns.

**These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the Fund, net of management fees assessed by the Fund’s manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Where the investment income ratio is the same for each unit value, it is presented in both the lowest and highest columns.    

***Represents the total return for the period indicated and reflects a deduction only for expenses assessed through the daily unit value calculation. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation in the notes on the Statements of Operations indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholder and the Board of Directors of Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company) and the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Predecessor Company) 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 the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company) and the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Predecessor Company), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for long-duration contracts due to the adoption of ASU 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts ("ASU 2018-12"), effective January 1, 2023, with a transition date of July 1, 2021.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's 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 Company 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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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 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.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Certain Assumptions Used in the Valuation of Market Risk Benefits – Refer to Notes 1, 2, 5 and 12 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has historically issued and assumes via reinsurance certain guarantees and product features on Variable Annuity (VA) and Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) products which protect the contract holder from, and expose the Company to, other-than-nominal- capital market risk. The Company recognizes these features as Market Risk Benefits (MRBs). MRBs
F-3


are measured at the individual contract level and multiple MRBs within a single contract are measured and recognized as a single, compound MRB. MRBs are carried at fair value and may be recognized as a liability or an asset and are reported separately as MRB liabilities or assets on the consolidated balance sheet as there is not legal right of offset between contracts.
The fair value of MRBs is measured as the present value of expected future benefits payments to contract holders, less the present value of expected fees attributable to the MRB, if applicable. The Company estimates these cash flows using significant judgment including discount rate assumptions, nonperformance risk, and actuarially determined assumptions about policyholder behavior, such as: withdrawal utilization, withdrawal rates, and lapses.
Given the sensitivity of certain market risk benefits to changes in these assumptions and the significant uncertainty inherent in estimating the market risk benefits, we identified management’s evaluation of these assumptions in the valuation of certain market risk benefits as a critical audit matter. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our actuarial and fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to testing assumptions used by management to estimate the valuation of MRBs, specifically discount rates, nonperformance risk, and actuarially determined assumptions about policyholder behavior, included the following, among others:
With the involvement of our valuation and actuarial specialists, we:
Evaluated the results of the underlying experience studies, capital market inputs, and judgments applied by management in setting the principal assumptions.
Developed an independent estimate, on a sample basis, of the market risk benefits and evaluated differences.
We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data that served as the basis for the actuarial analysis to test that the inputs to the actuarial estimate were reasonable.
Evaluated the methods and assumptions used by management to identify potential bias in the determination of the MRBs.
Certain Assumptions Used in the Valuation of Embedded Derivatives for Fixed Indexed Annuities – Refer to Notes 1, 3, 4, and 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company assumes via reinsurance fixed indexed annuity contracts (FIA) contracts. FIA contract balances appreciate based on a minimum guaranteed credited rate or on the performance of market indices. For FIA contracts where an equity market index is elected, the account value attributable to the equity performance, which is not clearly and closely related to the insurance contract, is recognized as an embedded derivative liability. The liability reported on the consolidated balance sheets is equal to the sum of the fair value of the embedded derivative and the host contract and is reported in other policyholder funds. The fair value of the embedded derivative is measured as the present value of cash flows attributable to the indexed strategies and is derived using assumptions to estimate future account values.
Given the sensitivity of these embedded derivatives to changes in these assumptions, specifically around policyholder lapse and partial withdrawals, as well as discount rates, and the significant uncertainty inherent in estimating them, we identified management’s evaluation of these assumptions as a critical audit matter. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our actuarial and fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to testing assumptions used by management to estimate the embedded derivatives recorded within other policyholder funds, specifically lapses, partial withdrawals, and discount rates, included the following, among others:
With the involvement of our valuation and actuarial specialists, we:

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company, together with its subsidiaries, (collectively, "TL," the "Company," "we" or "our") is a life insurance and annuity company and comprehensive risk solutions-provider in the United States ("U.S.") and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TR Re, Ltd. ("TR Re"), a Bermuda based entity. Talcott Resolution Life, Inc. ("TLI"), a Delaware corporation and Talcott Holdings, L.P. ("THLP") are indirect parents of the Company and the Company has an ultimate parent of Talcott Financial Group, Ltd. ("TFG" or "Talcott Financial Group").
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year balances for the presentation of unearned premiums and deferred gains on reinsurance to be consistent with current year presentation.
Description of Business
As of December 31, 2023, the Company managed approximately 446 thousand annuity contracts with an account value of approximately $38 billion, gross of reinsurance, and private placement life insurance with an account value of approximately $41.7 billion. Upon the Company's acquisition by Sixth Street, the Company's strategy changed to be one of a life insurance aggregator through reinsurance. Since the Sixth Street acquisition, the Company has participated in multiple assumed reinsurance transactions that have positioned the Company, as part of the Talcott Financial Group, as a leading participant in this area of the life insurance marketplace. As part of the Company's growth strategy, the Company assumes life insurance blocks of business, providing external insurers with solutions to create capital flexibility and risk management efficiencies. Since the Sixth Street Acquisition and as of December 31, 2023, the Company has assumed fixed indexed annuities ("FIA") of $7.3 billion and variable annuities ("VA") of $6.4 billion.
On June 30, 2021, the Company’s previous indirect owner, Hopmeadow Holdings GP LLC, completed the sale of the Company (the "Sixth Street Acquisition") through the merger of an affiliate of Sixth Street, a global investment firm, with and into THLP pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement"). Through the Agreement, TFG indirectly obtained 100% control of THLP and its life and annuity operating subsidiaries for a total purchase price of approximately $2.2 billion, comprised of a $500 pre-closing dividend and cash of $1.7 billion. The merger was accounted for using business combination accounting, together with an election to apply pushdown accounting. Under this method, the purchase price paid was assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on their fair value. Determining the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures are presented into two distinct periods. The periods prior to the consummation of the agreement are labeled ("Predecessor Company") and the periods subsequent to that date are labeled ("Successor Company") to distinguish between the different basis of accounting between the periods presented. As a result of the application of purchase accounting, the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company), are not comparable to the prior periods presented. In addition, as a result of the acquisition the Company conformed to TFG’s accounting policies and modified its presentation for certain transactions.
Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest in which the Company is required to consolidate. All intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Entities in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financing decisions but is not required to consolidate are reported using the equity method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. In applying these estimates and assumptions, management makes subjective and complex judgments that are uncertain and subject to change. Many of these policies, estimates, and related judgments are common in the insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the Company’s business and operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Our principal estimates and assumptions impact the following reported amounts and disclosures:
Fair value of investments;
Impairment of investments and allowance for credit losses (“ACL”);
Derivatives valuation, including embedded derivatives;
F-12


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Market risk benefits (“MRB”);
Reserve for future policy benefits;
Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets (“DTA”);
Evaluation of goodwill for impairment.
Certain of these estimates are particularly sensitive to market conditions, and deterioration and/or volatility in the worldwide debt or equity markets could have a material impact on the annual financial statements. Additional details regarding these estimates and assumptions are discussed in the following significant accounting policies and the related footnote disclosures.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:
Segment Information
The Company has one reportable segment and its principal products and services are comprised of variable, fixed and payout annuities, FIAs, and private-placement life insurance. The Company's determination that it has one reportable segment is based on the fact that the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews the Company's financial performance at an aggregate level.
Investments
Fixed Maturities
Fixed maturities consist of debt securities including bonds, structured securities, redeemable preferred stock and commercial paper. Structured securities include asset-backed securities (“ABS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”). Most of these investments are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are carried at fair value, net of ACL. Unrealized gains and losses (i.e., after-tax difference between fair value and cost or amortized cost) not attributable to ACL are reflected in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI").
Equity Securities
Equity securities are carried at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in investment and derivative related losses, net in the statement of operations.
Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans are carried at the outstanding principal balance adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, net of ACL. Interest income is accrued on the principal balance of the loan based on the loan’s contractual interest rate.
Policy Loans
Policy loans are carried at outstanding principal balance, which approximates fair value. Interest income is recognized as earned using the contractual interest rate. Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy’s anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Any unpaid principal and accrued interest are deducted from the cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the insurance policy.
Investment Funds
Investment funds principally represent LPs and other similar legal entity structures accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are generally carried based on the Company’s pro rata ownership percentage in the net assets of the investee, and the Company’s share of earnings is included in net investment income.
Recognition of income related to investment funds is often delayed due to the availability of the related financial information, which may be reported on a lag of up to three months. Accordingly, income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company) and the period of January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 (Predecessor Company) may not include the full impact of current year changes in valuations of the underlying assets and liabilities of the funds for that same calendar year, which are generally obtained from the entity’s managers, general partners, or managing members.
F-13


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Other Investments
Other investments consist of derivative instruments carried at fair value and real estate held directly, which is recorded at amortized cost.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash is carried at cost and includes cash on hand, demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments include financial instruments with remaining maturities less than twelve months when purchased. Short-term investments include financial instruments that would otherwise qualify as cash equivalents but are acquired with the primary objective of earning investment income, and make up $714 and $1,272 of the carrying amount as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Short-term loans and short-term investments that would otherwise qualify as cash equivalents are carried at fair value, where amortized cost approximates fair value. Short-term debt securities are generally classified as AFS and accounted for consistent with our policies for fixed maturities described above.
Funds Withheld Liability
The Company records a funds withheld liability under ceded coinsurance with funds withheld or modified coinsurance arrangements, which represents the fair value of segregated invested assets. The funds withheld liability is comprised of a host contract and an embedded derivative. The funds withheld liability is measured as the total of the host contract, which the Company has assessed as the book value of assets, and the embedded derivative, which the Company has assessed as the net unrealized gains (losses) on the underlying assets as the Company is obligated to pay the total return on the underlying investments. The Company records the total return of the funds withheld within net income (inclusive of the return on both the host contract and the embedded derivative). The Company allocates the total return between net investment income, measured as a risk-free rate on the host contract, and net investment and derivative related losses, net, measured as the difference between the total return and host accretion.
Fair Value Option ("FVO")
The Company has elected the fair value option (“FVO”) for certain corporate bonds included in fixed maturities, and investment funds. Where elected, changes in fair value of investments are recorded as investment and derivative related losses, net.
Impairment of Investments and the Allowance for Credit Losses
We review our fixed maturities for declines in fair value that could be impairment related, or attributable to credit risk factors that may require an ACL. If we intend to sell a debt security where amortized cost exceeds fair value, or we determine it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a debt security before recovery of amortized cost, we determine an impairment has occurred and amortized cost is written down to fair value with a corresponding charge recorded as a component of investment and derivative related losses, net.
If amortized cost exceeds fair value, but we do not intend to sell a security and we determine it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell before recovery of amortized cost, we evaluate the security for indicators of a credit loss that may require an ACL. We evaluate a number of factors to determine whether a decline in fair value is attributable to a credit loss, including but not limited to: market interest rates and issuer credit ratings and outlooks. The significance of the decline in fair value is a factor in our analysis, but is generally not determinative in whether we record a credit loss, as other factors are often more relevant in our evaluation of a security. If we determine a credit loss has occurred, we record as an ACL with a corresponding charge recorded as component of investment and derivative related losses, net. The remaining change in fair value is recorded in equity as a component of AOCI.
We also evaluate other financial instruments for credit losses, such as mortgage loans, reinsurance recoverables, and off-balance sheet credit exposures that the Company cannot unconditionally cancel. The measurement of the expected credit loss is based on historical loss data, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and recorded as an ACL, consistent with treatment for fixed maturity debt securities.
Subsequent recoveries of credit losses are recognized as reversals of the ACL with a corresponding reversal recorded as a component of investment and derivative related losses, net. Additionally, for any purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since original issuance, we establish an ACL at acquisition, which is recorded with the purchase price to establish the initial amortized cost of the investment.

TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Net Investment Income
The components of net investment income include:
Interest income from AFS debt securities and mortgage loans, which is recognized when earned on the constant effective yield method based on estimated timing of cash flows. The amortization of premium and accretion of discount for fixed maturities also takes into consideration call and maturity dates that produce the lowest yield. For securitized financial assets subject to prepayment risk, yields are recalculated and adjusted periodically to reflect historical and/or estimated future prepayments;
Prepayment fees and make-whole payments on AFS debt securities and mortgage loans, which are recognized when earned;
Dividends for equity securities, which are recognized on the ex-dividend date;
Share of earnings for the Company's interests in investment funds, which is recognized when reported in the investee’s financial statements;
A portion of the change in funds withheld, measured as the risk-free return on the host contract;
A reduction for investment expenses.
Investment and Derivative Related Losses, Net
The components of investment and derivative related losses, net include:
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments, determined on a specific identification basis;
Fair value changes in equity securities;
Fair value changes in derivative contracts (both freestanding and embedded, including the embedded derivative within the funds withheld) that do not qualify, or are not designated, as a hedge for accounting purposes;
Fair value changes for investments where the FVO has been elected;
Impairments and changes in the ACL on AFS debt securities; mortgage loans; and reinsurance recoverables;
Foreign currency transaction remeasurements.
Accrued Interest Receivable
Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities and mortgage loans are recorded in other assets on the balance sheets and are not included in the carrying value of the investment. The Company does not include the current accrued interest receivable balance when estimating the ACL. The Company has a policy to write-off accrued interest receivable balances that are more than 90 days past due. Write-offs of accrued interest receivable are recorded as a credit loss component of investment and derivative related losses, net.
Interest income on AFS debt securities and mortgage loans is accrued unless it is past due over 90 days or management deems the interest uncollectible.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company is engaged with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIE") primarily as an investor through normal investment activities.
A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as simple majority kick-out rights, or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIE exposures to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the Company’s assessment, if it determines it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE on the Company’s Financial Statements.
Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in LP and similar legal entity structures which are reported in investment funds on the Company’s balance sheets. For these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments.
F-15


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In addition, the Company makes passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which the Company is not the manager. These investments are reported in fixed maturities, on the Company’s balance sheets. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investment. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of the Company’s investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIE, the Company’s inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and, where applicable, the level of credit subordination which reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of the Company’s investment.
Derivative Instruments
Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign exchange rates, financial indices or other underlying notional amounts. We regularly invest in derivatives to hedge the risks inherent in our business, such as interest rate, equity market, issuer credit, currency exchange, or market volatility. We may also invest in derivatives to manage liquidity or engage in synthetic replication transactions. Derivatives are carried on the balance sheets at fair value and are reported in other investments and other liabilities. We have master netting agreements with certain of our counterparties that provide the legal right of offset and allow for the netting of our derivative asset and liability positions by counterparty. Where applicable, the Company has elected to offset the fair value amounts, income accruals, and related cash collateral receivables and payables of derivatives executed in a legal entity and with the same counterparty or under a master netting agreement.
On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as (1) a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a forecasted transaction or of amounts to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”) or (2) held for other investment and/or risk management purposes, which primarily involve managing asset or liability related risks and do not qualify for hedge accounting.
We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. The documentation identifies how the hedging instrument (i.e., the derivative) is expected to hedge the designated risk (i.e., the specific forecasted transactions) and the method that will be used to assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness.
To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging instrument must be assessed as highly effective in offsetting the designated risk. We formally assess hedge effectiveness at both at the hedge’s inception and on a quarterly basis. This assessment is primarily performed using quantitative methods as well as using qualitative methods. Quantitative methods include regression or other statistical analysis of changes in fair value or cash flows associated with the hedge relationship. Qualitative methods may include comparison of critical terms of the derivative to the hedged item.
For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, including foreign-currency cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivatives are recorded in OCI and are reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction impacts net income. Gains and losses on derivatives that are reclassified from AOCI to net income, as well as periodic net coupon settlements, are included in the line item within the statements of operations in which the cash flows of the hedged transaction are reported. Cash flows from cash flow hedge are presented in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged transaction on the statements of cash flows.
Investments in derivatives for the Company’s other investment or risk management activities do not receive hedge accounting treatment, and primarily relate to strategies used to reduce economic risk or replicate permitted investments. Gains and losses on such derivatives, including periodic net coupon settlements, are reported as a component of investment and derivative related losses, net in the statements of operations.
We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively if: (1) it is determined that the qualifying criteria are no longer met; (2) the derivative is no longer designated as a hedging instrument; or (3) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. When cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued because we become aware that it is not probable that the forecasted transaction will occur, the derivative continues to be carried at fair value on the balance sheets, and gains and losses previously recorded in OCI and reported in AOCI are immediately reclassified in net income. In other situations where hedge accounting is discontinued, including those where the derivative is sold, terminated or exercised, amounts previously deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings when earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction.
Embedded Derivatives
The Company purchases and historically issued and assumed financial instruments and products that contain embedded derivative instruments that we record with the associated host contract. For measurement purposes, we bifurcate the embedded derivative from the host contract when we determine that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic
F-16


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument. The embedded derivative is presented on the same financial statement line item as the host contract, and is carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of investment and derivative related losses.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss due to uncertainty of an obligors’ or counterparty’s ability or willingness to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed upon terms. The Company minimizes the credit risk of derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties primarily rated A or better, which are monitored and evaluated by the Company’s risk management team and reviewed by senior management. The Company monitors counterparty credit exposure on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with Company policies and statutory limitations. Credit exposures are measured using the market value of the derivatives, resulting in amounts owed to the Company by its counterparties or potential payment obligations from the Company to its counterparties.
The Company generally requires that over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts, other than certain forward contracts, be governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which are structured by legal entity and by counterparty, and permit right of offset. OTC-cleared derivatives are governed by clearing house rules. Transactions cleared through a central clearing house reduce risk due to their ability to require daily variation margin and act as an independent valuation source. Some agreements require daily collateral settlement based upon agreed upon thresholds. For purposes of daily derivative collateral maintenance, credit exposures are generally quantified based on the prior business day’s market value and collateral is pledged to and held by, or on behalf of, the Company to the extent the current value of the derivatives exceed the contractual thresholds. For the Company’s domestic derivative programs, the maximum uncollateralized threshold for a derivative counterparty for a single legal entity is $7.
Reinsurance
The Company enters into reinsurance transactions with unaffiliated and affiliate insurer counterparties for a variety of reasons, including strategic business growth opportunities (for assumed transactions) and capital and risk management (for ceded transactions). Reinsurance is placed with reinsurers that meet strict financial criteria established by the Company, and the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and concentrations of credit risk. Failure of counterparties to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not discharge the Company’s liability as the primary insurer.
We assume insurance from and cede insurance to our counterparties using a variety of structures, including: coinsurance, coinsurance with funds withheld, modified coinsurance, and yearly renewable term. For an agreement to qualify for reinsurance accounting, it must include insurance risk (inclusive of underwriting, investment, and timing risk) and satisfy risk transfer conditions that include a reasonable possibility of a significant loss for the assuming entity. If an arrangement does not meet risk transfer requirements, the Company accounts for the arrangement using deposit accounting (i.e., as a financing transaction).
Reinsurance recoverables are generally recognized and measured consistent with the liabilities of the underlying contracts. Reinsurance recoverables include balances due from counterparties for paid and unpaid losses and are presented net of an ACL, which is based on the expectation of potential lifetime credit loss from the counterparty. Premiums and benefits and losses reflect the net effects of assumed and ceded reinsurance transactions. Included in other assets are prepaid reinsurance premiums, which represent the portion of premiums ceded to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired terms of the reinsurance agreements. For assumed reinsurance of existing in-force blocks, a net loss on reinsurance is recorded as deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and a net gain on reinsurance is recorded as unearned revenue reserves (“URR”). Certain MRBs have also been reinsured, and these are reflected within reinsurance recoverables on the balance sheets.
Under coinsurance arrangements, reserves and invested assets are transferred from the ceding insurer to the reinsurer. In certain arrangements, the reinsurer holds the assets supporting the reserves in a trust for the benefit of the ceding insurer. Refer to Note 6 - Reinsurance for additional information related to the various trusts the Company maintains.
Under coinsurance with funds withheld arrangements, ceded reserves are transferred to the reinsurer; however, invested assets that support the reserves are retained by the ceding insurer, and the counterparties periodically settle profit and loss with respect to the investment returns. Under modified coinsurance arrangements, both the ceded reserves and the invested assets that support the reserves are retained by the ceding insurer, and the counterparties periodically net settle profit and loss with respect to both the investment returns and the underlying insurance obligations.
Both modified coinsurance and coinsurance with funds withheld arrangements require the ceding insurer to establish a mechanism which legally segregates the invested assets. The Company maintains the right of offset on general account assets and liabilities reinsured on both a coinsurance with funds withheld and modified coinsurance basis, but we have elected to present balances due from and due to reinsurance counterparties on a gross basis, as reinsurance recoverables
F-17

and funds withheld liability for ceded reinsurance or funds withheld at interest for assumed reinsurance on the balance sheets. Separate account assets and liabilities assumed on a modified coinsurance basis are reported on a net basis on the balance sheets. Revenue, however, is recorded from the reinsurance of separate accounts as premiums or policy charges and fee income on the statements of operations.
Value of Business Acquired, Deferred Acquisition Costs, Unearned Revenue Reserves, and Other Balances
Value of Business Acquired
Value of business acquired (“VOBA”) is an intangible asset that represents the portion of a purchase price allocated to the estimated value assigned to the right to receive future gross profits from cash flows and earnings of acquired insurance and investment contracts as of the date of the acquisition. It is based on the actuarially estimated present value of future cash flows of the acquired contracts in-force as of the date of the acquisition. The principal assumptions used in estimating VOBA include equity market returns, mortality, persistency, expenses, and discount rates, in addition to other factors that the Company expects to experience in future years. Actual experience on the acquired contracts may vary from these projections and the recovery of VOBA is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business.
For certain transactions, the fair value of obligations related to acquired insurance and investment contracts exceed the book value of policy liabilities, resulting in additional reserves (“negative VOBA”). Negative VOBA is presented separately from VOBA as an additional reserve included either in the reserve for future policy benefits or other policyholder funds and benefits payable on the balance sheets, depending on the presentation for the underlying contracts generating the amount.
The Company tests the aggregate recoverability of positive VOBA by comparing the existing balance to the present value of future profitability.
Deferred Acquisition Costs
As noted in the Reinsurance section above, specific to assumed block reinsurance, the excess of reserves and ceding commission over assets received is recorded as DAC. In addition, costs such as commissions are capitalized when incurred if directly related to the successful acquisition of new or existing insurance contracts.
Unearned Revenue Reserve
As noted in the Reinsurance section above, a net gain on assumed reinsurance is recorded as URR within other policyholder funds and benefits payable on the balance sheets.
Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs and Other Balances
The Company amortizes VOBA, DAC, URR and other balances (e.g., adjustments associated with FIA MRBs) through net income on a constant-level basis over the expected term for a group of contracts (i.e., cohorts), using the same cohorts used to estimate the associated liabilities for those contracts. Inputs and assumptions are required for determining the expected term of contracts and are consistent with those used to estimate the related liabilities. The determination of such assumptions uses accepted actuarial methods to estimate decrement rates related to policyholder behavior for lapses, withdrawals (surrenders) and mortality.
The constant-level basis uses a method specific to the underlying product, generally policy counts or gross premiums, and approximates a pattern of straight-line amortization at an individual contract level. The amortization rate is calculated at the end of each reporting period, and is inclusive of actual experience for the reporting period and any assumption updates. The revised amortization rate is applied prospectively from the beginning of the current reporting period. Amortization can never result in an increase of the VOBA, DAC or URR balance initially established.
Refer to Note 7 - Value of Business Acquired, Deferred Acquisition Costs, Unearned Revenue Reserves, and Other Balances for further information.
Refer to Note 10 - Reserve for Future Policy Benefits for additional information regarding the assumptions for the LFPB and additional liabilities for other insurance benefits.
Income Taxes
We measure income taxes using the asset and liability method, where deferred income taxes are recognized to represent the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets, and if required, record a valuation allowance to reduce the total deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company classifies interest and penalties (if applicable) as income tax expense in the statements of operations.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, and is allocated to identified reporting units. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Our methodology for conducting this goodwill impairment evaluation includes both a qualitative and quantitative assessment.
The Company has the option to initially perform an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the entity or a reporting unit and other company and entity-level or reporting unit-specific events. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then perform a quantitative assessment. If the carrying values of the reporting units exceed their fair value, an impairment loss is recognized and the carrying amount of goodwill is adjusted.
Refer to Note 8 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset and consist of software amortized over a period not to exceed seven years. Other intangible assets with indefinite lives primarily consist of state insurance licenses, and are not amortized but are reviewed annually in the Company’s impairment evaluation. They will be tested for impairment more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change to indicate the fair value of indefinite-lived other intangible assets is less than the carrying value.
Refer to Note 8 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information.
Separate Accounts
The Company has issued VA and life insurance contracts through its separate accounts, which represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of policyholders who direct the investments and bear the investment risk, with the exception of any contractual minimum guarantees made by the Company with respect to certain accounts, which are considered market risk benefits. Separate account assets are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. The Company’s separate account products include the variable account value portion of VA, variable life insurance products and individual, institutional, and governmental investment contracts. The Company has reinsured certain separate account policies on a modified coinsurance basis to unaffiliated reinsurers.
We report separate account assets as a summary total based on the fair value of the underlying investments. A corresponding summary total separate account liabilities is reported at an amount equal to separate account assets, and represents the account balance to be returned to the contractholder. The investment risk is solely borne by the contractholders and investment income and investment related and unrealized gains and losses of the separate accounts directly accrue to the contractholders; therefore, they are not recognized in the statements of operations. The Company recognizes fee income for investment management, certain administrative services and cost of insurance charges.
Refer to Note 9 - Separate Accounts for additional information and Note 12 - Market Risk Benefits for further information.
Reserve for Future Policy Benefits
Reserve for future policy benefits represent estimated insurance liabilities and primarily consist of the liability for future policy benefits (“LFPB”), deferred profit liability (“DPL”) related to life-contingent payout annuities, and additional liabilities for ULSG contracts. Reserve for Future Policy Benefits also consists of traditional long-duration insurance reserves for whole life and guaranteed term life insurance and other contracts.
Liability for Future Policy Benefits
The LFPB includes reserves for life-contingent contract annuitizations, including structured settlements and terminal funding agreements and traditional life insurance contracts. Insurance contracts are grouped into cohorts based on issue year and contract type for purposes of recognizing the LFPB. For contracts acquired through an inforce reinsurance arrangement or business combination, multiple issue years prior to the acquisition date are generally aggregated for purposes of identifying a single, issue-year cohort.
The LFPB is calculated using standard actuarial methods, which consider the present value of future benefits and related expenses to be paid, less the present value of the portion of future premiums required. Such calculations are measured using updated cash flow and discount rate assumptions. The Company updates the LFPB at least quarterly for actual
F-19


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
experience and future cash flow assumptions are evaluated at least annually. Cash flow assumptions include, among others, mortality and lapse rates, and are reviewed and updated, as needed, following the Company’s assumption review in the third quarter. Cash flow assumptions may be updated more frequently, if necessary, based on trending experience and future expectations. The effect on the LFPB attributable to updates for actual experience and updates in cash flow assumptions are both recorded as benefits and losses. However, actual experience (e.g., paid claims) is reported as benefits and losses while remeasurement of the LFPB for the effect of cash flow assumption updates is reported as a separate remeasurement gain (loss).
The LFPB is computed at amounts that, with additions from interest on such reserves compounded annually at assumed rates, are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s policy obligations at their maturities or in the event of an insured’s death.
Cash flows are discounted using an upper-medium grade (or low credit risk), fixed-income instrument yield (the equivalent of a Single A corporate bond rate). We establish the upper-medium grade yield for each cohort as of contract inception. The contract inception date is identified as the acquisition date for contracts acquired through an inforce reinsurance arrangement or business combination. For contracts issued evenly throughout a reporting period (or subsequent annuitizations for life-contingent payout annuities), a weighted-average discount rate is calculated on a quarterly basis. Reserve accretion in subsequent measurement periods calculated using the locked-in yield curve established at contract inception is recorded as benefit expense through net income.
The LFPB is additionally remeasured each reporting period using current upper-medium grade yields, and the effect on the LFPB attributable to changes in the discount rate is recorded in OCI. The Company maximizes the use of observable data as of each valuation date when developing an upper-medium grade yield curve designed to reflect the duration characteristics of the insurance liabilities.
Deferred Profit Liability
The DPL is recognized at contract inception of limited-payment contracts and represents the profit margin in premiums paid over a shorter duration than the claim payment period. The DPL accretes interest similar to the LFPB and is amortized in a constant relationship with expected future benefits payments for annuity contracts and insurance in force for life contracts. Amortization is recognized in benefits and losses within the statements of operations.
Consistent with the LFPB, the Company updates the DPL at least quarterly for actual experience, and future cash flow assumptions are reviewed and updated, as needed, following the Company’s assumptions review in the third quarter. Cash flow assumptions may be updated more frequently, if necessary, based on trending experience and future expectations. Consistent with the LFPB, actual experience is reported as benefits and losses while the effect on the DPL attributable to updates in cash flow assumptions is reported as a separate remeasurement loss (gain) within benefits and losses in the statements of operations.
Refer to Note 10 - Reserve for Future Policy Benefits for additional information.
Additional Liability for Universal Life with Secondary Guarantees
Reserves for such ULSG benefits are included within the reserve for future policy benefits on the balance sheets, as they provide additional protection against policy termination and may continue to provide a death benefit, even if there is insufficient policy value to cover the monthly deductions and charges.
Additional liabilities for other insurance benefits are determined by estimating the expected present value of the benefits in excess of the policyholder’s expected account value in proportion to the present value of total expected contract assessments and investment margin. Present values are discounted at the contract rate, and interest accrues on the liability using the same rate. The reserve is reduced by the amount of cumulative excess payments but is never reduced below zero. Consistent with the LFPB, the reserve calculation is updated on a quarterly basis for actual experience, and future cash flow assumptions are reviewed and updated, as needed, following the Company’s assumptions review in the third quarter. Consistent with the LFPB, actual experience is reported as benefits and losses while the effect on the additional liabilities attributable to updates in cash flow assumptions is reported as a separate remeasurement loss (gain) within benefits and losses in the statements of operations.
Other Policyholder Funds and Benefits Payable
Other policyholder funds and benefits payable primarily consists of policyholder account balances (“PABs”), URR, negative VOBA, and other balances. Refer to the Reinsurance and VOBA policy sections above for additional information on URR and negative VOBA. Other balances primarily include FIA host offsets, which are amounts used to offset the value of the MRB at contract inception, and is further described in the MRB policy section below.
F-20


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Policyholder Account Balance
PABs represent the fixed contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date and are applicable for contracts with explicit account values, including VA, fixed annuities, corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”), and other universal life-type products (“UL”). This liability is primarily associated with the accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, less policyholder withdrawals and other charges assessed against the account balance, as applicable. The liability recognized for non-life contingent payout annuities, including structured settlements, is measured as the present value of future payments using the effective yield at contract inception. Significant changes in experience or assumptions related to PABs for UL-type products may require the Company to establish premium deficiency reserves. Premium deficiency reserves, if any, are established based on current assumptions without considering a provision for adverse deviation. Changes in or deviations from the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company’s reserve levels and results from operations.
FIA contract balances appreciate based on a minimum guaranteed credited rate or the performance of market indices, and generally protect the contract owner against loss of principal and may include living withdrawal benefits or enhanced annuitization benefits. FIAs allow the policyholder to elect a fixed interest rate return or an equity market index.
For FIA contracts where an equity market index is elected, the account value attributable to equity performance, which is not clearly and closely related to the host insurance contract, is recognized as an embedded derivative. The liability reported on the balance sheets is equal to the sum of the fair value of the embedded derivative and the host contract. The host contract, identified as the non-variable guaranteed minimum contract value, is initially measured as the contract inception account value less a host contract adjustment equal to the initial fair value of the embedded derivative. The host contract adjustment is subsequently accreted over the underlying policy’s expected life. The fair value of the embedded derivative is measured as the present value of cash flows attributable to the indexed strategies, and is derived using assumptions to estimate future account values. The embedded derivative cash flows are discounted using a rate that reflects our own credit rating.
Refer to Note 11 - Other Policyholder Funds and Benefits Payable and Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Market Risk Benefits
The Company historically issued and assumes via reinsurance certain guarantees and product features on VA and FIA products which protect the contractholder from, and expose the Company to, other-than-nominal capital market risk. The Company recognizes these features as MRBs, which include guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”), guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) and guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”) for VA products, as well as guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (“GLWB”), as well as expected annuitization benefits for FIA products.
MRBs are measured at the individual contract level and multiple MRBs within a single contract are measured and recognized as a single, compound MRB. MRBs are carried at fair value and may be recognized as a liability or an asset, and are reported separately as MRB liabilities or assets on the balance sheets as there is no legal right of offset between contracts.
The fair value of MRBs is measured as the present value of expected future benefits payments to contractholder, less the present value of expected fees attributable to the MRB, if applicable. The cash flows associated with MRBs are discounted utilizing a risk-free discount rate, plus an applicable credit spread for the instrument-specific credit risk (“ISCR”). To estimate the appropriate credit spread, the Company considers its own credit risk for directly written and assumed contracts and the reinsurer’s credit risk for MRBs that are reinsured. Changes in the fair value of MRBs are recorded as a change in market risk benefits within net income, excluding portions attributed to changes in the Company’s own credit risk, which are recorded in OCI. For MRBs that are reinsured, changes in the MRB attributable to changes in the reinsurer’s nonperformance risk are recognized as part of the change in market risk benefits recorded through net income.
At contract inception, we assess the fees and assessments collectible from the policyholder and allocate them to the extent they are attributable to the MRB. If attributed fees are sufficient to cover the projected benefits, a non-option based valuation model is used. If attributed fees are insufficient to cover the projected benefits (or there are no explicit fees collectible from the policyholder), an option-based valuation model is used. MRBs calculated using an option-based model are measured and recognized at contract inception and for FIA contracts, an equivalent contra-liability, referred to as a host offset, is recognized in other policyholder funds and benefits payable on the balance sheets.
Upon annuitization of the contract or the extinguishment of the account balance, the MRB, related annuity contract and unamortized deferred costs are derecognized, including amounts within AOCI, and a LFPB for the remaining payout annuity contract is established, if applicable.
Directly written and assumed MRBs are not reduced for those riders that are ceded under reinsurance agreements. Instead, ceded MRBs are measured at fair value and are separately recorded in reinsurance recoverables on the balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition
For investment and universal life-type contracts, amounts collected from policyholders are considered deposits and are not included in revenue. Policy charges and fee income for VA, FIA, fixed annuities and other universal life-type contracts primarily consists of policy charges for policy administration, cost of insurance charges and surrender charges assessed against policyholders’ account balances and are recognized in the period in which services are provided. For traditional life products, premiums are recognized as revenue when due from policyholders.

2. Adoption of Long-Duration Targeted Improvements
The FASB issued ASU 2018-12 Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (“LDTI”) in August 2018, which impacted the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for certain long-duration contracts issued by an insurance company. The guidance is intended to improve the timeliness of recognizing changes in the LFPB, by requiring annual or more frequent updates of insurance assumptions and modifying rates used to discount future cash flows. Further, the guidance amends the accounting for certain market-based options or guarantees associated with account balance contracts, simplify the amortization of DAC and other balances amortized on a basis consistent with DAC, and improve the effectiveness of the required disclosures.
The Company adopted the update effective as of January 1, 2023 and applied the retrospective method as of July 1, 2021, the date of the Sixth Street Acquisition. At the acquisition date, VOBA and negative VOBA balances were established for the difference between the fair value of the insurance contract assets and liabilities. Upon adoption, the LFPB and contractual features that meet the criteria for MRBs were adjusted to conform to LDTI, with an offsetting adjustment made to VOBA or negative VOBA. No adjustments were recorded to AOCI or retained earnings upon the initial adoption. As such, the Company retrospectively adjusted prior period amounts shown in the annual financial statements to reflect the new guidance.

As of December 31, 2023, fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position consisted of 3,643 instruments and were primarily depressed due to increasing interest rates and/or widening credit spreads since the purchase and/or application of pushdown accounting dates. As of December 31, 2023, 67% of these fixed maturities were depressed less than 20% of cost or amortized cost.
The Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the fixed maturities. The decision to record credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS in the form of an ACL requires us to make qualitative and quantitative estimates of expected future cash flows. Actual cash flows could deviate significantly from our expectations resulting in realized losses in future periods.
Sales
Sales of AFS debt securities in 2023 were primarily a result of strategic asset allocations, tactical changes to the portfolio driven by changing market conditions, and duration and liquidity management. Proceeds from sales of AFS debt securities were $1,304 for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Successor Company), $5,897 for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor Company), $2,372 for the period of December 31, 2021 (Successor Company) and $1,007 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Predecessor Company).
Allowance for Credit Losses
Developing the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows for ACL on AFS debt securities is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions regarding the future performance. Cash flows are discounted at the effective yield that is used to record interest income. The Company's considerations include, but are not limited to (a) changes in the financial condition of the issuer and/or the underlying collateral, (b) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (c) credit

ratings, (d) payment structure of the security and (e) the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security.
For non-structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to: economic and industry-specific trends and fundamentals, instrument-specific developments including changes in credit ratings, industry earnings multiples and the issuer’s ability to restructure, access capital markets, and execute asset sales.
For structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, various performance indicators such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current and projected delinquency rates, loan-to-value ratios ("LTV"), average cumulative collateral loss rates that vary by vintage year, prepayment speeds, and property value declines. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company reviews mortgage loans on a quarterly basis to estimate the ACL, with changes in the ACL recorded in investment and derivative related losses, net. Apart from an ACL recorded on individual mortgage loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company records an ACL on the pool of mortgage loans based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Company utilizes a third-party forecasting model to estimate lifetime expected credit losses at a loan level under multiple economic scenarios. The scenarios use macroeconomic data provided by an internationally recognized economics firm that generates forecasts of varying economic factors such as GDP growth, unemployment and interest rates. The economic scenarios are projected over 10 years. The first two years to four years of the 10-year period assume a specific modeled economic scenario (including moderate upside, moderate recession and severe recession scenarios) and then revert to historical long-term assumptions over the remaining period. Using these economic scenarios, the forecasting model projects property-specific operating income and capitalization rates used to estimate the value of a future operating income stream. The operating income and the property valuations derived from capitalization rates are compared to loan payment and principal amounts to create debt-service coverage ratios ("DSCRs") and LTVs over the forecast period. The Company's process also considers qualitative factors. The model overlays historical data about mortgage loan performance based on DSCRs and LTVs and projects the probability of default, amount of loss given a default and resulting expected loss through maturity for each loan under each economic scenario. Economic scenarios are probability-weighted based on a statistical analysis of the forecasted economic factors and qualitative analysis. The Company records the change in the ACL on mortgage loans based on the weighted-average expected credit losses across the selected economic scenarios. When a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, including when foreclosure is probable, the Company measures an ACL on individual mortgage loans. The ACL is established for any shortfall between the amortized cost of the loan and the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. Estimates of collectibility from an individual borrower require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability and timing of borrower default and loss severity estimates. In addition, cash flow projections may change based upon new information about the borrower's ability to pay and/or the value of underlying collateral such as changes in projected property value estimates. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the Company did not have any mortgage loans for which an ACL was established on an individual basis.
There were no mortgage loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company). In addition, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the Company had no mortgage loans that have had extensions or restructurings other than what is allowable under the original terms of the contract. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the Company held no PCD mortgage loans.

The increase in the allowance for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Successor Company) was primarily attributable to changes in market conditions and an update in assumptions. The increase in the allowance for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor Company) was primarily attributable to the deteriorating economic conditions and the potential impact on real estate property valuations and, to a lesser extent, net additions of new loans. The increase in the allowance for the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company) was the result of pushdown accounting. The decrease in the allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Predecessor Company), is the result of improved economic scenarios, including improved GDP growth and unemployment, and higher property valuations as compared to the prior periods.
Credit Quality Indicators
The weighted-average LTV ratio at origination of the Company’s mortgage loans held as of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company) was 60%. LTV ratios compare the loan amount to the value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan with property values based on appraisals performed at origination. Factors considered in estimating property values include, among other things, actual and expected property cash flows, geographic market data and the ratio of the property's net operating income to its value. DSCR compares a property’s net operating income to the borrower’s principal and interest payments which are updated no less than annually through reviews of underlying properties.
The following represents the LTV ratio and DSCR for mortgage loans, by origination year:

Repurchase Agreements and Other Collateral Transactions
The Company enters into securities financing transactions as a way to earn additional income or manage liquidity, primarily through repurchase agreements.
Repurchase Agreements
From time to time, the Company enters into repurchase agreements to manage liquidity or to earn incremental income. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which one party (transferor) agrees to sell securities to another party (transferee) in return for cash (or securities), with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same securities at a specified price at a later date. The maturity of these transactions is generally of ninety days or less. Repurchase agreements include master netting provisions that provide both parties the right to offset claims and apply securities held by them with respect to their obligations in the event of a default. Although the Company has the contractual right to offset claims, the Company's current positions do not meet the specific conditions for net presentation.
Under repurchase agreements, the Company transfers collateral of U.S. government and government agency securities and receives cash. For repurchase agreements, the Company obtains cash in an amount equal to at least 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred under specified conditions and provide the counterparty the right to sell or re-pledge the securities transferred. The cash received from the repurchase program is typically invested in short-term investments or fixed maturities and is reported as an asset on the Company's balance sheets. The Company accounts for the repurchase agreements as collateralized borrowings. The securities transferred under repurchase agreements are included in fixed maturities, AFS with the obligation to repurchase those securities recorded in other liabilities on the Company's balance sheets. As noted above, the Company’s current positions do not permit net presentation, however, the following presents the potential effect of rights of setoff associated with repurchase agreements:

4. Derivatives
The Company utilizes a variety of OTC, OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivative instruments as a part of its overall risk management strategy as well as to enter into replication transactions. Derivative instruments are used to manage risk associated with interest rate, equity market, credit spread, issuer default and currency exchange rate exposures or movements. Replication transactions are used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company’s investment policies.
Derivatives Designated and Qualifying as Hedging Instruments
Some of the Company's derivatives satisfy hedge accounting requirements as outlined in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of these financial statements. Typically, these hedging instruments include interest rate swaps and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency swaps where the terms or expected cash flows of the hedged item closely match the terms of the swap. The interest rate swaps are typically used to manage interest rate duration of certain fixed maturity securities or liability contracts. The hedge strategies by hedge accounting designation include:
Cash Flow Hedges
Interest rate swaps are predominantly used to manage portfolio duration and better match cash receipts from assets with cash disbursements required to fund liabilities. These derivatives primarily convert interest receipts on floating-rate fixed maturity securities to fixed rates. Foreign currency swaps are used to convert foreign currency-denominated cash flows related to certain investment receipts and liability payments to U.S. dollars in order to reduce cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency rates.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivative relationships that do not qualify for hedge accounting (“non-qualifying strategies”) primarily include the hedge program for the Company's VA products, as well as the hedging and replication strategies that utilize credit default swaps. In addition, hedges of interest rate, foreign currency and equity risk of certain fixed maturities, equities and liabilities do not qualify for hedge accounting.
The non-qualifying strategies include:
Interest Rate Swaps, Swaptions and Futures
The Company uses interest rate swaps, swaptions and futures to manage interest rate duration between assets and liabilities in certain investment portfolios. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to terminate existing swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap. As of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company), there were no interest rate swaps in offsetting relationships and as of December 31, 2022 (Successor Company), the notional amount of interest rate swaps in offsetting relationships was $276.
Foreign Currency Swaps and Forwards
The Company enters into foreign currency swaps to convert the foreign currency exposures of certain foreign currency-denominated fixed maturity investments to U.S. dollars. The Company also enters into foreign currency forwards to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated cash.
Credit Contracts
Credit default swaps are used to purchase credit protection on an individual entity or referenced index to economically hedge against default risk and credit-related changes in the value of fixed maturity securities. Credit default swaps are also used to assume credit risk related to an individual entity or referenced index as a part of replication transactions. These contracts require the Company to pay or receive a periodic fee in exchange for compensation from the counterparty or the Company should the referenced security issuers experience a credit event, as defined in the contract. In addition, the Company enters into credit default swaps to terminate existing credit default swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward.
Macro Hedge Program
The Company utilizes equity swaps, options and futures as well as interest rate swaps to provide protection against the statutory tail scenario risk to the Company's statutory surplus arising from higher GMWB and GMDB claims, as well as lower VA fee revenue.
Embedded Derivatives
The Company has assumed through reinsurance certain FIA products with index-based crediting that constitutes an embedded derivative. The cedant hedges this risk and provides the benefits of this hedging as part of the reinsurance settlements.

4. Derivatives (continued)
The Company formerly offered, and subsequently fully reinsured, certain UL products with index-linked features that also constitute an embedded derivative.
Ceded Modified Coinsurance Reinsurance Contracts
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the Company had approximately $877 and $645, respectively, of invested assets supporting other policyholder funds and benefits payable reinsured under a modified coinsurance arrangement in connection with the sale of the Individual Life business, which was structured as a reinsurance transaction. The assets are primarily held in trust accounts established by the Company. The Company pays or receives cash quarterly to settle the operating results of the reinsured business, including the investment results. As a result of this modified coinsurance arrangement, the Company has an embedded derivative that transfers to the reinsurer certain unrealized changes in fair value of investments subject to interest rate and credit risk. The notional amount of the embedded derivative reinsurance contracts are the reinsured liabilities which are generally measured on a statutory basis and equivalent to the book value of the identified invested assets which support the reinsured reserves. The identified underlying is the total return on the identified invested assets which support the reinsured reserves. A funds withheld liability is recorded for funds contractually withheld by the Company under funds withheld modified coinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the cedant.
Derivative Balance Sheet Classification
For reporting purposes, the Company has elected to offset within assets or liabilities based upon the net of the fair value amounts, income accruals, and related cash collateral receivables and payables of OTC derivative instruments executed in a legal entity and with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset. The following fair value amounts do not include income accruals or related cash collateral receivables and payables, which are netted with derivative fair value amounts to determine balance sheet presentation. Derivatives in the Company’s separate accounts, where the associated gains and losses accrue directly to policyholders are not included in the table below. The Company’s derivative instruments are held for risk management purposes, unless otherwise noted in the following table. The notional amount of derivative contracts represents the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and is presented in the table to quantify the volume of the Company’s derivative activity. Notional amounts are not necessarily reflective of credit risk. The following tables exclude investments that contain an embedded credit derivative for which the Company has elected the FVO.
The table below provides a summary of the gross notional amount and fair value of derivative contracts by the primary underlying risks they are utilized to manage. The fair value amounts below represent the value of derivative contracts prior to taking into account the netting effects of master netting agreements, accrued interest, and cash collateral.

Refer to Note 3 - Investments for the effect of rights of set-off associated with repurchase agreements.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
As of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company), there were no before tax deferred net losses on derivative instruments expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings over the next twelve months. This expectation is based on the anticipated interest payments on hedged investments in fixed maturity securities that will occur over the next twelve months, at which time the Company will recognize the deferred net gains (losses) as an adjustment to net investment income over the term of the investment cash flows.
For all periods presented, the Company had no net reclassifications from AOCI to earnings resulting from the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges due to forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring.
Refer to Note 18 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for details regarding amounts recorded in and reclassified from AOCI for cash flow hedges.

Credit Risk Assumed through Credit Derivatives
The Company enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk of a single entity or referenced index in order to synthetically replicate investment transactions that are permissible under the Company's investment policies. The Company will receive periodic payments based on an agreed upon rate and notional amount and will only make a payment if there is a credit event. A credit event payment will typically be equal to the notional value of the swap contract less the value of the referenced security issuer’s debt obligation after the occurrence of the credit event. A credit event is generally defined as a default on contractually obligated interest or principal payments or bankruptcy of the referenced entity. The credit default swaps in which the Company assumes credit risk primarily reference investment grade single corporate issuers and baskets, which include standard diversified portfolios of corporate and CMBS issuers. The diversified portfolios of corporate issuers are established within sector concentration limits and may be divided into tranches that possess different credit ratings.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. Our fair value framework includes a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to the use of quoted prices in active markets, followed by the use of market observable inputs, followed by the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:
Level 1    Fair values based primarily on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities, in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2    Fair values primarily based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, or based on prices for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3    Fair values derived when one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). With little or no observable market, the determination of fair value uses considerable judgment and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability. Also included are securities that are traded within illiquid markets and/or priced by independent brokers.
Net Asset Value ("NAV") – Other invested assets within separate accounts are typically measured using NAV as a practical expedient in determining fair value and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value reflects the pro rata ownership percentage as indicated by NAV in the investment’s financial statements, which may be adjusted if it’s determined NAV is not calculated consistent with investment company fair value principles. The underlying investments may have significant unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to, comparable multiples and weighted average cost of capital rates applied in valuation models or a discounted cash flow model.
The Company will classify the financial asset or liability by level based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. In most cases, both observable inputs (e.g., changes in interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in risk assumptions) are used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities that the Company has classified within Level 3.

Valuation Techniques
The Company generally determines fair values using valuation techniques that use prices, rates, and other relevant information evident from market transactions involving identical or similar instruments. Valuation techniques also include, where appropriate, estimates of future cash flows that are converted into a single discounted amount using current market expectations. The Company uses a "waterfall" approach comprised of the following pricing sources and techniques, which are listed in priority order:
Quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are classified as Level 1.
Prices from third-party pricing services, which primarily utilize a combination of techniques. These services utilize recently reported trades of identical, similar, or benchmark securities making adjustments for market observable inputs

available through the reporting date. If there are no recently reported trades, they may use a discounted cash flow technique to develop a price using expected cash flows based upon the anticipated future performance of the underlying collateral discounted at an estimated market rate. Both techniques develop prices that consider the time value of future cash flows and provide a margin for risk, including liquidity and credit risk. Most prices provided by third-party pricing services are classified as Level 2 because the inputs used in pricing the securities are observable. However, some securities that are less liquid or trade less actively are classified as Level 3. Additionally, certain long-dated securities, such as municipal securities and bank loans, include benchmark interest rate or credit spread assumptions that are not observable in the marketplace and are thus classified as Level 3.
Internal matrix pricing is a valuation process internally developed for private placement securities for which the Company is unable to obtain a price from a third-party pricing service. Internal pricing matrices determine credit spreads that, when combined with risk-free rates, are applied to contractual cash flows to develop a price. The Company develops credit spreads using market based data for public securities adjusted for credit spread differentials between public and private securities, which are obtained from a survey of multiple private placement brokers. The market-based reference credit spread considers the issuer’s sector, financial strength, and term to maturity, using an independent public security index, while the credit spread differential considers the non-public nature of the security. Securities priced using internal matrix pricing are classified as Level 2 because the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated with observable data.
Independent broker quotes, which are typically non-binding use inputs that can be difficult to corroborate with observable market based data. Brokers may use present value techniques using assumptions specific to the security types, or they may use recent transactions of similar securities. Due to the lack of transparency in the process that brokers use to develop prices, valuations that are based on independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.
The fair value of freestanding derivative instruments is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model or option model technique and incorporates counterparty credit risk. In some cases, quoted market prices for exchange-traded and OTC cleared derivatives may be used and in other cases independent broker quotes may be used. The pricing valuation models primarily use inputs that are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data. The valuation of certain derivatives may include significant inputs that are unobservable, such as volatility levels, and reflect the Company’s view of what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments.
Fair values for FIA embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and are calculated using internally developed models that utilize significant unobservable inputs because active, observable markets do not exist for these items.
Valuation Inputs
Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets are considered Level 1 and consist of on-the-run U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, exchange-traded equity securities, open-ended mutual funds, certain short-term investments, and exchange traded futures and option contracts.
Primary observable and unobservable inputs for level 2 and level 3 fair value measurements are described below.
Fixed Maturities
Structured Securities
Primary observable inputs include: benchmark yields and spreads; monthly payment information; collateral performance, which varies by vintage year and includes delinquency rates, loss severity rates and refinancing assumptions; and credit default swap indices. Primary observable inputs specific to ABS, CLOs, and RMBS include: estimates of future principal prepayments, derived from the characteristics of the underlying structure; and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the collateral.
Primary unobservable inputs include: independent broker quotes; and credit spreads and interest rates beyond the observable curves. Primary unobservable inputs specific to less liquid securities or those that trade less actively, including subprime RMBS include: estimated cash flows; credit spreads, which include illiquidity premium; constant prepayment rates; constant default rates; and loss severity.
Corporate Bonds
Includes private placement securities for which the Company has elected the fair value option.
Primary observable inputs include: benchmark yields and spreads; reported trades, bids, offers of the same or similar securities; issuer spreads; and credit default swap curves. Primary observable specific to investment grade privately placed securities that utilize internal matrix pricing include credit spreads for public securities of similar quality, maturity, and sector, adjusted for non-public nature.
F-47


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
5. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Primary unobservable inputs include: independent broker quotes; credit spreads beyond the observable curve; and interest rates beyond the observable curve. Primary unobservable inputs specific to below investment grade privately placed securities and private bank loans include credit spreads for public securities of similar quality, maturity, and sector, adjusted for non-public nature.
Foreign Government and Agencies, Municipal Bonds, and U.S. Treasury Bonds
Primary observable inputs include: benchmark yields and spreads; issuer credit default swap curves; political events in emerging market economies; Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board reported trades and material event notices; and issuer financial statements.
Primary unobservable inputs include credit spreads and interest rates beyond the observable curves.
Equity Securities
Primary observable inputs include quoted prices in markets that are not active.
Primary unobservable inputs include internal discounted cash flow models utilizing earnings multiples or other cash flow assumptions.
Investment Funds
There are no primary observable inputs.
Primary unobservable inputs include: prices of privately traded securities; and characteristics of privately traded securities, including yield, duration and spread duration. For equity method investments not held at fair value, the carrying value of the investment is based on the latest capital statement received by the Company for their investment.
Freestanding Derivatives
Credit Derivatives
Primary observable inputs include: swap yield curves; and credit default swap curves.
Foreign Currency Derivatives
Primary observable inputs include: the swap yield curve; currency spot and forward rates; and cross currency basis curves.
Interest Rate Derivatives
Primary observable inputs include the swap yield curve.
Primary unobservable inputs include: independent broker quotes; interest rate volatility; and the swap curve beyond 30 years.
Short-Term Investments
Primary observable inputs include: benchmark yields and spreads; reported trades, bids, and offers; issuer spreads and credit default swap curves; and material event notices and new issue money market rates.
Primary unobservable inputs include independent broker quotes.
Fixed Indexed Annuities Embedded Derivatives
Primary observable inputs include: risk-free rates as represented by the Eurodollar futures, LIBOR deposits and swap rates to derive forward curve rates; correlations of 10 years of observed historical returns across underlying well-known market indices; correlations of historical index returns compared to separate account fund returns; and equity index levels.
Primary unobservable inputs include: market implied equity volatility assumptions; credit standing adjustment assumptions; option budgets; and assumptions about policyholder behavior, such as withdrawal utilization, withdrawal rates, lapse rates, and reset elections.
The fair value for the FIA embedded derivatives are calculated as an aggregation of the following components: Best Estimate Benefits; Credit Standing Adjustment; and Margins. The Company believes the aggregation of these components results in an amount that a market participant in an active liquid market would require, if such a market existed. Each component described in the following discussion is unobservable in the marketplace and requires subjectivity by the Company in determining its value.
F-48


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
5. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Best Estimate Benefits
The Best Estimate Benefits are calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows, including the present value of benefits and related contract charges, over the lives of the contracts, incorporating unobservable inputs including expectations concerning policyholder behavior.
Credit Standing Adjustment
The credit standing adjustment is an estimate of the adjustment to the fair value that market participants would require in determining fair value to reflect the risk will not be fulfilled. The Company incorporates a blend of estimates of peer company and reinsurer bond spreads and credit default spreads from capital markets.
Margins
The behavior risk margin adds a margin that market participants would require, in determining fair value, for the risk that the Company’s assumptions about policyholder behavior could differ from actual experience. The behavior risk margin is calculated by taking the difference between adverse policyholder behavior assumptions and best estimate assumptions.
Separate Account Assets
Separate account assets include fixed maturities, equity securities (largely consisted of mutual funds), mortgage loans, short-term investments, and other invested assets (largely consisted of investment funds and freestanding derivatives) that are valued in the same manner, and using the same pricing sources and inputs, as those investments held by the Company.
For other invested assets in which fair value represents a share of the NAV 34% and 53% were subject to significant liquidation restrictions as of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company) and December 31, 2022 (Predecessor Company), respectively. As of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company) and December 31, 2022 (Predecessor Company), there were no investment funds that did not allow any form of redemption.
Separate account assets classified as Level 3 primarily include long-dated bank loans, subprime RMBS and commercial mortgage loans.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instrument may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated asset or liability. Therefore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives reported in the Level 3 rollforwards may be offset by realized and unrealized gains and losses of the associated assets and liabilities in other line items of the financial statements.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities are transferred in and/or out of Level 3 on the date the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. The Company evaluates, at least annually, its valuation processes to determine if changes in circumstances has occurred that would result in a transfer between levels. Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are primarily attributable to the availability of market observable information and the re-evaluation of the observability of pricing inputs. During the 2023 review of the inputs, the Company deemed the spread inputs to be unobservable, and transferred those private securities included in corporate bonds from Level 2 to Level 3.

6. Reinsurance
The Company assumes reinsurance from unaffiliated insurers to provide our counterparties with risk management solutions. In addition, the Company cedes reinsurance to affiliated and unaffiliated insurers to enable the Company to manage capital and risk exposure. The Company's historical reinsurance cessions provided a level of risk mitigation desired by prior ownership. Such arrangements do not relieve the Company of its primary liability to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company regularly monitors the financial condition and ratings of its reinsurers and structures agreements to provide collateral funds where necessary.
The following summarizes premiums, policy charges and fee income by direct, assumed and ceded insurance types, in the consolidated statements of operations:

Insurance recoveries on ceded reinsurance agreements, which reduce death and other benefits, were $1,670 and $1,648 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), $782 for the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company) and $958 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Predecessor Company). In addition, the Company has reinsured a portion of the risk associated with VA and the associated GMDB and GMWB risks.
Assumed Reinsurance
Guardian
On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with Guardian to reinsure $7.1 billion in VA reserves, primarily comprised of contracts with living withdrawal benefit and death benefit riders. The Company assumed 100% of $439 in general account reserves on a coinsurance basis and 100% of $6.7 billion in separate account assets and liabilities, as well as the associated MRB on a modified coinsurance basis. The Company acquired general account assets to support the assumed reserves and received $121 in cash from Guardian upon closing, relating to a ceding commission of $65 and cash settlements. As part of this transaction, the Company entered into an administration services agreement for the reinsured block and will ultimately administer the reinsured block within two years following the close of the transaction. The separate account assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis on the Company's balance sheets and the Company earns income on the assumed separate account assets.
The following table summarizes the impacts of the Guardian transaction at inception:
Liabilities assumed $ 481 
Less: ceding commission received and other settlements
(65)
Less: assets received
(464)
Net gain on reinsurance $ (48)
Unearned revenue reserve 48 
Allianz
On December 30, 2021, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with Allianz to assume approximately $8 billion of FIA reserves. Certain of the FIA contracts included living withdrawal benefits. The Company paid $693 to Allianz upon closing, primarily relating to a ceding commission of $866, offset by cash settlements. The Company will participate in an aggregated hedging pool administered by Allianz, whereby the Company will pay Allianz a fee in order to participate in the pool and will receive an index credit payout based on the level of participation in the pool. Allianz will continue to service and administer the policies reinsured under the agreement as the direct insurer of the business.

As part of the Allianz reinsurance transaction, the Company maintains a coinsurance trust for the benefit of Allianz. As of
December 31, 2023, there was $6.4 billion of fixed income securities, $58 of short-term investments and $202 of cash in the coinsurance trust. As of December 31, 2022, there were $6.2 billion of fixed income securities, $199 of short-term
investments and $130 of cash in the coinsurance trust.
Other Assumed Reinsurance
On July 29, 2022, the Company executed a flow reinsurance agreement with Allianz. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company assumes certain FIA contracts issued by Allianz after August 2, 2022 on a coinsurance basis. Allianz will continue to service and administer the policies reinsured under the agreement as the direct insurer of the business.
Ceded Reinsurance
Reinsurance recoverables include balances due from reinsurance companies and are presented net of ACL. The ACL represents an estimate of expected credit losses over the lifetime of the contracts that reflect management’s best estimate of reinsurance cessions that may be uncollectible in the future due to reinsurers’ inability to pay. Reinsurance recoverables include an estimate of the amount of policyholder benefits that may be ceded under the terms of the reinsurance agreements. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with assumptions used for the underlying policy benefits. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate of reinsurance recoverables is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimate of the gross reserve for future policy benefits.
The following summarizes reinsurance recoverables by reinsurer for the Successor Company:
As of December 31,

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company closely monitors the financial condition, ratings and current market information of all its counterparty reinsurers and records an ACL considering the credit quality of the reinsurer, the invested assets in trust, and the period over which the recoverable balances are expected to be collected. Counterparty risk is assessed on a pooled basis in cases of shared risk characteristics, and separately for individual reinsurers when it is more relevant. The Company evaluates historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in developing its ACL estimate. Where its contracts permit, the Company secures future claim obligations with various forms of collateral, including irrevocable letters of credit, secured trusts and funds held accounts. The ACL is estimated using a probability of default and loss given default model applied to the amount of reinsurance recoverables, net of collateral, exposed to loss. The probability of default factor is assigned based on each reinsurer's credit rating. The Company reassesses and updates credit ratings on a quarterly basis. The probability of default factors encompass historical industry defaults for liabilities with similar durations to the reinsured liabilities as estimated through multiple economic cycles. The loss given default factors are based on a study of historical recovery rates for general creditors of corporations through multiple economic cycles.
Affiliated Reinsurance
On December 31, 2022 (Successor Company), the Company retroceded 75% of the business assumed from Allianz to TR Re on a modified coinsurance basis. As a result of the retrocession, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $511.
On December 31, 2021 (Successor Company), the Company reinsured certain payout and VA business to TR Re on a modified coinsurance and coinsurance funds withheld basis. As a result of the reinsurance agreement, the Company recorded a deferred loss of $129.

Liability for Future Policy Benefits
Significant assumptions and inputs to the calculation of the LFPB for life-contingent payout annuities primarily include assumptions for discount rates, mortality and other policyholder data, including certain demographic data. These assumptions are derived from both policyholder data and experience and industry data and the Company will adjust policyholder data and experience to reflect market data, where necessary. The Company does not include any expense assumptions in the calculation of the LFPB. Annually, the Company reviews all significant cash flow assumptions, such as mortality, unless emerging experience indicates a more frequent review is necessary. As part of its annual review process, the Company assesses trends in both policyholder experience and industry data and updates the assumptions in the liability calculation, as necessary.
A single-A interest rate curve is utilized to discount the cash flows used to calculate the LFPB. The discount rate reflects market observable inputs from upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yields and is reflective of the duration of the liabilities and is updated for market data. The updated cash flows used in the liability calculation are discounted using a forward rate curve.
In 2023, there were significant updates for favorable mortality for certain reserves, as a result of the Company’s assumption update. These updates resulted in lower reserves, which were offset by a deferred profit liability. There were no significant changes in inputs or assumptions made in 2022.

[1]NAR is generally defined as the current guarantee amount in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date, net of reinsurance impacts. For products with multiple guarantees, the net amount at risk is based on the benefit with the highest net amount at risk. The VA net amount at risk represents the death benefit portion of the contract, as contracts with a withdrawal benefit also contain a death benefit. The FIA net amount of risk represents the withdrawal portion of the contract. The total represents the combined net amount at risk of VA and FIA.

The Company’s MRBs primarily relate to VA contracts with GMDB, GMIB, and GMWB guarantee features and FIA contracts with GLWB features and two-tier annuitization benefits. As described in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, MRBs and the related reinsurance are calculated using fair value measurement principles, which considers the price paid that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of these MRBs are calculated as the present value of expected benefit payments, less the present value of expected fees attributable to the MRB. The determination of the fair value of MRBs requires the use of inputs related to fees and assessments, and assumptions in determining the expected benefits, in excess of the projected account balance.
Fair values for VA and FIA contract benefits are calculated using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for the MRB. Many of these assumptions are established using accepted actuarial valuation methods and are considered unobservable inputs to the fair value measurement. Therefore, the fair value estimate of MRBs are
F-69


TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
12. Market Risk Benefits (continued)
classified as a level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy and the determination of the significant inputs included in the fair value measurement requires the use of management’s judgment. Assumptions are mostly based on policyholder experience and pricing assumptions, which are updated for actual experience, if necessary.
The significant inputs to the valuation models for these MRBs include actuarially determined assumptions for contractholder behavior, as well as lapse rates, benefit utilization rates, surrender rates, and mortality rates. In addition, significant inputs include capital market assumptions, such as interest rate levels and market volatility assumptions.
Variable Annuities
The Company’s VA contracts include variable insurance contracts both entered into directly between the Company and an individual policyholder or assumed through reinsurance with other insurers, including assumed separate account products. Products provide a current or future income stream based on the value of the individual's contract at annuitization, and can include a variety of guaranteed minimum death and withdrawal benefits.
The Company's VA contracts sold to individuals mostly provide GMDBs during the accumulation period that is generally equal to the greater of (a) the contract value at death or (b) premium payments less any prior withdrawals and may include adjustments that increase the benefit, such as for maximum anniversary value ("MAV"). In addition, some of the VA contracts provide a GMWB, whereby if the account value is reduced to a specified level through a combination of market declines and withdrawals, the contractholder is entitled to a guaranteed remaining balance, which is generally equal to premiums less withdrawals. Many policyholders with a GMDB also have a GMWB. These benefits are not additive as policyholders that have a product with both guarantees can receive, at most, the greater of the GMDB or GMWB.
Fixed Indexed Annuities
FIA contracts the Company assumes represent annuity contracts issued by another insurance company under which the Company assumes through reinsurance a quota share of the liabilities. These annuity contracts have a cash value that appreciates based on a GMCR, or the performance of various equity market indices, such as the S&P 500. FIAs generally protect the contract owner against loss of principal and may include GMWBs or enhanced annuitization benefits.
For FIA contracts, assumptions include projected equity returns which impact cash flows attributable to indexed strategies, implied equity volatilities, expected index credits and future equity option costs.
The models are based on a risk neutral valuation framework and incorporate risk premiums inherent in valuation techniques, inputs, and the general uncertainty around the timing and amount of future cash flows. A risk margin is incorporated within the discount rate to reflect uncertainty in the projected cash flows, as well as credit spreads to reflect nonperformance risk, for the Company and reinsurer for the Company's reinsurance transaction.

Collateralized Advances
The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”). Membership allows the Company access to collateralized advances, which may be used to support various spread-based business and enhance liquidity management. FHLBB membership requires the Company to own member stock and advances require the purchase of activity stock. The amount of advances that can be taken are dependent on the asset types pledged to secure the advances. The pledge limit is recalculated annually based on statutory admitted assets and capital and surplus. The Company would need to seek the prior approval of the CTDOI in order to exceed these limits. As of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company), the Company had no advances outstanding under the FHLBB facility.

The statute of limitations on the examination of federal tax returns is closed through the 2019 tax year, with the exception of net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards utilized in open tax years. Management believes that an adequate provision has been made on the financial statements for any potential adjustments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no reserves for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate and that had a reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing within the next 12 months.
The Company classifies interest and penalties (if applicable) as income tax expense on the consolidated financial
statements. The Company recognized no interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, and the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had no interest payable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not believe it would be subject to any penalties in any open tax years and, therefore, has not recorded any accrual for penalties.

14. Income Taxes (continued)
The Company believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be fully realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered future taxable temporary difference reversals, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryovers, taxable income in open carry back years and other tax planning strategies. From time to time, tax planning strategies could include holding a portion of debt securities with market value losses until recovery, making investments which have specific tax characteristics and business considerations such as asset-liability matching.
Net deferred income taxes include the future tax benefits associated with the net operating loss carryover and foreign tax credit carryover as follows:
Net Operating Loss Carryover
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net deferred tax asset included the expected tax benefit related to NOLs of $132 and $3, respectively. The NOLs were generated in 2018 and subsequent years. The losses do not expire, but their utilization in any carryforward year is limited to 80% of taxable income in that year. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $62 and $3, respectively, of the losses are also subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which may limit the amount that can be utilized in any carryforward year.
Given the Company's expected future earnings, the Company believes sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize its NOL carryover. Although the Company believes there will be sufficient future taxable income to fully recover the remainder of the loss carryover, the Company's estimate of the likely realization may change over time.
Foreign Tax Credit Carryover
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net deferred tax asset included the expected tax benefit attributable to foreign tax credit carryovers of $22 and $16, respectively.
A reconciliation of the tax provision at the U.S. Federal statutory rate to the provision (benefit) for income taxes is as follows.
  Successor Company Predecessor Company
For the Years Ended December 31, For the Period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
  2023 2022

Other —  —  (1) — 
Provision for income taxes $ (39) $ 107  $ 88  $ 30 
The separate account DRD is estimated for the current year using information from the most recent return, adjusted for current year equity market performance and other appropriate factors, including estimated levels of corporate dividend payments and level of policy owner equity account balances. The actual current year DRD can vary from estimates based on, but not limited to, changes in eligible dividends received in the mutual funds, amounts of distributions from these mutual funds and the Company’s taxable income before the DRD. The Company evaluates its DRD computations on a quarterly basis.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax ("CAMT")
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced a 15% CAMT among other tax provisions. The provisions had an effective date beginning after December 31, 2022. Generally, the CAMT imposes a minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of certain corporations with average annual AFSI over a three-year period in excess of $1 billion ("applicable corporations"). The Company has determined that it is not an applicable corporation and therefore not subject to CAMT for the period ending December 31, 2023. Since enactment of the CAMT, the US Treasury Department and the IRS continue to issue guidance to the public. The Company will continue to evaluate the guidance and assess its impact, if any in future years.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies Relating to Corporate Litigation and Regulatory Matters
Management evaluates each contingent matter separately. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. Management establishes reserves for these contingencies at its “best estimate,” or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated liability at the low end of the range of losses.
Litigation
The Company is involved in claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to life and annuity contracts. The Company accounts for such activity through the establishment of reserves for future policy benefits. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On August 15, 2023, Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company and Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively “Talcott Resolution”) were named as defendants in two putative class action lawsuits in the United States District Courts for the District of Connecticut and the District of Massachusetts. These cases are captioned as follows: Casey v. Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company and Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company, et al. (CT) and Guitang v. Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company (MA). The lawsuits relate to data security events involving the MOVEit file transfer system (“MOVEit Cybersecurity Incident”). The MOVEit file transfer system is software used by a broad range of companies to move sensitive electronic data. PBI Research Services (“PBI”), a third-party service provider for Talcott Resolution, uses the MOVEit file transfer system in the performance of its services. PBI has used the software on behalf of Talcott Resolution to, among other things, search various databases to identify the deaths of insured persons and annuitants under life insurance policies and annuity contracts, respectively, as required by applicable law. Plaintiffs seek to represent various classes and subclasses of Talcott Resolution insurance policy and annuity contract holders whose data allegedly was accessed or potentially accessed in connection with the MOVEit Cybersecurity Incident. Plaintiffs allege that Talcott Resolution breached a purported duty to safeguard their sensitive data from unauthorized access. The complaints assert claims for, among other things, negligence, negligence per se, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violations of various consumer protection statutes, and the Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief. On October 4, 2023, the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order consolidating all actions relating to the MOVEit Cybersecurity Incident before a single federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. We intend to vigorously defend these actions.
The Company is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. Such actions have alleged, for example, bad faith in the handling of insurance claims and improper sales practices in connection with the sale of insurance and investment products. Some of these actions also seek punitive damages. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of the Company. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.
Unfunded Commitments
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding commitments totaling $1,055, of which $559 was committed to investment funds, which may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. Additionally, $380 of the outstanding commitments are primarily related to various funding obligations associated with private debt. The remaining outstanding commitments of $116 are related to mortgage loans.
Guaranty Fund and Other Insurance-Related Assessments
In all states, insurers licensed to transact certain classes of insurance are required to become members of a guaranty fund. In most states, in the event of the insolvency of an insurer writing any such class of insurance in the state, members of the funds are assessed to pay certain claims of the insolvent insurer. A particular state’s fund assesses its members based on their respective written premiums in the state for the classes of insurance in which the insolvent insurer was engaged. Assessments are generally limited for any year to one or two percent of premiums written per year depending on the state.
Liabilities for guaranty funds and other insurance-related assessments are accrued when an assessment is probable, when it can be reasonably estimated, and when the event obligating the Company to pay an imposed or probable assessment has occurred. Liabilities for guaranty funds and other insurance-related assessments are not discounted and are included as part of other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the liability balance was $4 and $4, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company) amounts related to premium tax offsets of $1 and $1, respectively, were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

15. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Derivative Commitments
Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain provisions that are tied to the financial strength ratings, as set by nationally recognized statistical agencies or risked-based capital ("RBC") tests, of the individual legal entity that entered into the derivative agreement. If the legal entity’s financial strength were to fall below certain ratings, the counterparties to the derivative agreements could demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization and in certain instances enable the counterparties to terminate the agreements and demand immediate settlement of all outstanding derivative positions traded under each impacted bilateral agreement. The settlement amount is determined by netting the derivative positions transacted under each agreement. If the termination rights were to be exercised by the counterparties, it could impact the legal entity’s ability to conduct hedging activities by increasing the associated costs and decreasing the willingness of counterparties to transact with the legal entity. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position as of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company) was $294. Of this $294, the legal entities have posted collateral of $461 in the normal course of business. This could change as derivative market values change, as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated. The nature of the collateral that is posted, when required, would be primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and government agency securities.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the Company did not borrow any amounts under the intercompany liquidity agreements.
As of December 31, 2023 (Successor Company), the Company’s affiliate had outstanding amounts borrowed of $440 from the Company. During 2023, an affiliate repaid $160 associated with previously issued loans.
Parent Company Transactions
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), the Company had no direct employees as it is managed by TLI, the Company's indirect parent, pursuant to an Intercompany Services and Cost Allocation Agreement ("reimbursement agreement") between the Company, TLI and other Company affiliates. Effective July 1, 2021, the reimbursement agreement was modified to reflect a cost-plus reimbursement model. The impact of this revision was not material to the Company.
TLI's wholly-owned subsidiary Talcott Administration Services Company, LLC ("TASC") provides insurance administration services and support for the Company and became a related party on October 21, 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company) and the period from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company), fees incurred for these services were $52, $53 and $14, respectively.
For information related to affiliated reinsurance arrangements with the Company's parent company, TR Re, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 - Reinsurance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
For information related to capital contributions to the parent company, see the Dividends section of Note 17 - Statutory Results of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sixth Street Transactions
As a result of the Sixth Street Acquisition described in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company considers entities affiliated with Sixth Street as related parties. As described below, since the date of the Sixth Street Acquisition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with and made certain investments in Sixth Street affiliates.
The Company has investment management service agreements with a Sixth Street affiliate, in order to diversify the Company’s investment management capabilities and to leverage the specialty knowledge of Sixth Street with respect to certain asset classes. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company) and the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (Successor Company), the Company recorded expenses related to these agreements of $2, $1 and $0, respectively.

17. Statutory Results

The Company and its domestic insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance department which vary materially from U.S. GAAP. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. The differences between statutory financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP vary between domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The principal differences are that statutory financial statements do not reflect deferred policy acquisition and value of business acquired costs and limit deferred income taxes, predominately use interest rate and mortality assumptions prescribed by the NAIC for life benefit reserves, generally carry bonds at amortized cost and present reinsurance assets and liabilities net of reinsurance. For reporting purposes, statutory capital and surplus is referred to collectively as "statutory capital".
Statutory net income (loss) and statutory capital for the Company's U.S. insurance subsidiaries are as follows:
Successor Company Predecessor Company
For the Years Ended December 31, For the Period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
(In millions) 2023 2022
Combined statutory net income (loss) $ 48  $ 441  $ (426) $ (2)
Successor Company
As of December 31,
2023 2022
Statutory capital [1]
$ 2,188  $ 2,738 
[1]    The Company relies upon a prescribed practice allowed by Connecticut state laws that allow the Company to receive a reinsurance reserve credit for reinsurance treaties that provide for a limited right of unilateral cancellation by the reinsurer. The benefit from this prescribed practice was approximately $27 and $40 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company), respectively.
Statutory accounting practices do not consolidate the net income (loss) of subsidiaries that report under U.S. GAAP. The combined statutory net income (loss) above represents the total statutory net income (loss) of the Company and its other insurance subsidiaries. Statutory accounting principles require that ceding commissions paid on reinsurance transactions be expensed in the period incurred, affecting statutory net loss, where U.S. GAAP allows for the deferral of these amounts.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company's U.S. insurance companies' states of domicile impose RBC requirements. The requirements provide a means of measuring the minimum amount of statutory capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations based on its size and risk profile. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of a company's total adjusted capital (“TAC”) to its authorized control level RBC (“ACL RBC”). Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences (“Company Action Level”) is two times the ACL RBC. The adequacy of a company's capital is determined by the ratio of a company's TAC to its Company Action Level, known as the "RBC ratio." The Company and all of its operating insurance subsidiaries had RBC ratios in excess of the minimum levels required by the applicable insurance regulations. The RBC ratios for the Company and its principal life insurance operating subsidiaries were all in excess of 300% of their Company Action Levels as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Successor Company) .The reporting of RBC ratios is not intended for the purpose of ranking any insurance company, or for use in connection with any marketing, advertising or promotional activities.

17. Statutory Results (continued)
Dividends
The payment of dividends by Connecticut-domiciled insurers is limited under the insurance holding company laws of Connecticut. These laws require notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment of any dividend, which, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer’s policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) net income (or net gain from operations, if such company is a life insurance company) for the twelve-month period ending on the thirty-first day of December last preceding, in each case determined under statutory insurance accounting principles. In addition, if any dividend of a domiciled insurer exceeds the insurer’s earned surplus or certain other thresholds as calculated under applicable state insurance law, the dividend requires the prior approval of the domestic regulator. In addition to statutory limitations on paying dividends, the Company also takes other items into consideration when determining dividends from subsidiaries. These considerations include, but are not limited to, expected earnings and capitalization of the subsidiary, regulatory capital requirements and liquidity requirements of the individual operating company.
The Company is permitted to pay up to a maximum of $571 in dividends and the Company's subsidiaries are permitted to pay up to a maximum of $429 in dividends, as determined by the above mentioned insurance regulations.
On July 6, 2023 (Successor Company), TL's subsidiary declared and paid TL a dividend of $95 and the Company declared and paid a $575 dividend to its parent, TR Re.
On December 29, 2023 (Successor Company), the Company's subsidiary, American Maturity Life Insurance Company ("AML"), declared and paid TL a dividend of $36.

19. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when, or as, goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity is expected to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Administration and distribution services fees $ 94  $ 76  $ 45  $ 44 
The Company earns revenues from these contracts primarily for administrative and distribution services fees from offering certain fund families as investment options in its variable annuity products. Fees are primarily based on the average daily net asset values of the funds and are recorded in the period in which the services are provided and collected monthly. Fluctuations in domestic and international markets and related investment performance, volume and mix of sales and redemptions of the funds, and other changes to the composition of assets under management are all factors that ultimately have a direct effect on fee income earned.

Provision is made that the Corporation, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law as then in effect, shall indemnify any individual who is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal (each, a “Proceeding”) because such individual is or was (i) a Director, or (ii) an officer or employee of the Corporation (for purposes of the by-laws, each an “Officer”), against obligations to pay judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or reasonable expenses
C-4

(including counsel fees) incurred in a Proceeding if such Director or Officer: (l)(A) conducted him or herself in good faith; (B) reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in such person’s official capacity, which shall include service at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or fiduciary of a Covered Entity (as defined below), that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the Corporation; and (ii) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; and (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; or (2) engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the Corporation’s Certificate, in each case, as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in the by-laws. For purposes of the by- laws, a “Covered Entity” shall mean another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) in respect of which such person is serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or fiduciary.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
