(a)Transactions between the general account and the separate account are presented in this table on a gross basis (e.g., a policyholder's funds are initially deposited
into the general account and then simultaneously transferred to the separate account), and thus, did not impact the ending balance of policyholder contract deposits.
(b)Reconciling items principally relate to MRBs that are bifurcated and reported separately, and changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives of $1,160 million and
$893 million that are recorded in policyholder contract deposits as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(c)Cash surrender value is related to the portion of policyholder contract deposits that have a defined cash surrender value (e.g. GICs do not have a cash surrender
value).
The following table presents Policyholder contract deposits account balance by range of guaranteed minimum crediting
rates and the related range of difference, in basis points, between rates being credited to policyholders and the respective
