__________________ (1) This balance represents liabilities for various smaller product lines across multiple segments, as well as Corporate & Other. Rollforwards - Traditional and Limited-Payment Contracts The following information about the direct and assumed liability for FPBs includes disaggregated rollforwards of expected future net premiums and expected future benefits. The products grouped within these rollforwards were selected based upon common characteristics and valuations using similar inputs, judgments, assumptions and methodologies within a particular segment of the business. The adjusted balance in each disaggregated rollforward reflects the remeasurement (gains) losses. All amounts presented in the rollforwards and accompanying financial information do not include a reduction for amounts ceded to reinsurers, except with respect to ending net liability for FPB balances where applicable. RIS - Annuities The RIS segment’s annuity products include pension risk transfers, certain structured settlements and certain institutional income annuities, which are mainly single premium spread-based products. The Company reinsures portions of certain newly issued pension risk transfers on a modified coinsurance basis. Information regarding these products was as follows:

_________________ (1) For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the net effect of actual variances from expected experience was largely offset by the corresponding impact in DPL associated with the RIS segment’s annuity products of $49 million and $98 million, respectively. Excluding the corresponding impact in DPL, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the net effect of actual variances from expected experience was primarily driven by favorable mortality and model refinements. Significant Methodologies and Assumptions When single premium annuity contracts are issued, the FPB reserve is required to be measured at an upper-medium grade discount rate. Due to differences between the upper-medium grade discount rate and pricing assumptions used to determine the contractual premium, the initial FPB reserve at issue for a particular cohort may be greater than the contractual premium received, and the difference must be recognized as an immediate loss at issue. On these cohorts, future experience that differs from expected experience and changes in cash flow assumptions result in the recognition of remeasurement gains and losses with net remeasurement gains limited to the amount of the original loss at issue, after which any favorable experience is deferred and recorded within the DPL. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a loss at issue of $126 million. This loss at issue was offset by a deferred gain on ceded reinsurance, which will be amortized over the life of the reinsurance agreement. Asia Whole and Term Life & Endowments The Asia segment’s whole and term life & endowment products in Japan and Korea offer various life insurance coverages to customers.

Rollforwards - Additional Insurance Liabilities The Company establishes additional insurance liabilities for annuitization, death or other insurance benefits for variable life, universal life, and variable universal life contract features where the Company guarantees to the contractholder either a secondary guarantee or a guaranteed paid-up benefit. The policy can remain in force, even if the base policy account value is zero, as long as contractual secondary guarantee requirements have been met. The following information about the direct liability for additional insurance liabilities includes disaggregated rollforwards. The products grouped within these rollforwards were selected based upon common characteristics and valuations using similar inputs, judgments, assumptions and methodologies within a particular segment of the business. The adjusted balance in each disaggregated rollforward reflects the remeasurement (gains) losses. All amounts presented in these rollforwards and accompanying financial information do not include a reduction for amounts ceded to reinsurers. Asia The Asia segment’s variable life, universal life, and variable universal life products in Japan offer a contract feature where the Company guarantees to the contractholder a secondary guarantee.
