Reinsurance Recoverables
On September 23, 2026, the Company entered into a Reinsurance Commutation and Release Agreement (the “Commutation Agreement”) with National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., resulting in the commutation and termination of the asbestos and environmental adverse development cover ("A&E ADC")
agreement. Upon execution of the Commutation Agreement, the Company reduced the related reinsurance recoverable from $1.437 billion to the $1.120 billion commutation amount and recognized a $317 reduction in the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance. On September 25, 2026, the Company received the $1.120 billion cash payment from NICO. For more information on the A&E ADC and Commutation Agreement, refer to Note 9 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.
