(a)Fair value amounts are shown before the effects of counterparty netting adjustments and offsetting cash collateral.
(b)Includes written credit default swaps linked to certain actively traded indices. In the case of a credit event, the maximum future payment is limited to the constituent’s
representation within the index.
(c)Consists primarily of SVWs and contracts with multiple underlying exposures.
(d)Includes $12.6 billion and $20.5 billion of notional amounts associated with reinsurance agreements at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
(e)Represents netting of derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement.
(f)Represents cash collateral posted and received that is eligible for netting.
(g)Freestanding derivatives only, excludes embedded derivatives. Derivative instrument assets and liabilities are recorded in Other assets and Other liabilities,
respectively. All derivative transactions are with third parties. The fair value of assets related to bifurcated embedded derivatives were both zero at September 30,
2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of liabilities related to bifurcated embedded derivatives was $15.7 billion and $16.0 billion at September 30, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, respectively. A bifurcated embedded derivative is generally presented with the host contract in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Embedded derivatives are primarily related to guarantee features in fixed index annuities and index universal life contracts, which include equity and interest rate
components; bonds available-for-sale and the funds withheld arrangement with Fortitude Re. For additional information, see Note 7.
The following amounts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the carrying amount of the
hedged assets (liabilities) and cumulative basis adjustments included in the carrying amount for fair value hedges:

(a)These amounts include the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be
remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. At September 30, 2026, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was
$4.0 billion, the amount of the designated hedged item was $2.7 billion, and the cumulative basis adjustment associated with these hedging relationships was
$(159) million. At December 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $4.0 billion, the amount of the
designated hedged item was $2.7 billion, and the cumulative basis adjustment associated with these hedging relationships was $(7) million.
(b)Hedge accounting has been discontinued, but the respective loans are still held. The cumulative adjustment is being amortized into earnings over the remaining life of
the loan.
(c)During the third quarter 2026, the Company discontinued certain GIC fair value hedging relationships. There were no material fair value hedging adjustments related
to these discontinued hedging relationships.
