Deal rationale and strategic fit

  • Reinsures $3.8 billion of LTC statutory reserves, reducing exposure by 40% since last year and advancing the closed block strategy.

  • Marks the second external LTC risk transfer and first stand-alone LTC risk transfer, executing the closed block strategy.

  • Combined with prior actions, over $7 billion of LTC reserves have been reinsured, materially reducing the closed block footprint.

  • Enables focus on core employee benefits franchise and disciplined capital management.

Financial terms and conditions

  • $3.8 billion of statutory reserves, representing 26% of total and 52% of individual LTC reserves as of March 31, 2026, are reinsured.

  • Market value of required assets for the 2026 transaction is $5.66 billion; best estimate reserves are $3.84 billion.

  • Net cost is $650 million of holding company excess capital, or 12% of best estimate reserves, consistent with prior deal pricing.

  • Economic benefits include required capital release ($130 million) and total tax benefits ($490 million), offsetting a significant portion of gross cost.

  • Funded through Fairwind excess capital, holding company liquidity, and temporary financing tied to future tax benefits.

Synergies and expected cost savings

  • Transaction releases capital and reduces risk sensitivities by 28%-42% across key assumptions.

  • Pricing remains disciplined and consistent, with economic benefits varying by risk profile and structure.

  • Rate increases of over $5 billion have been achieved to date, supporting ongoing block management.

  • No change to planned $1.3 billion return to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.

  • Allows for more efficient capital deployment and risk management.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
