CNA Employee Retirement Plan Trust Settlement Transaction

In October of 2024, a subsidiary of CNA, as a sponsor of the CNA Employee Retirement Plan Trust (the “Plan”), entered into a commitment agreement with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (the “Insurer”) under which the Plan purchased a nonparticipating single premium group annuity contract that transferred to the Insurer approximately $1,045 million of the Plan’s defined benefit pension obligations. The group annuity contract covers approximately 7,600 Plan participants and beneficiaries (the “Transferred Participants”), representing approximately 60% of the Plan’s obligations. Under the group annuity contract, the Insurer has made an irrevocable commitment, and will be solely responsible, to pay the pension benefits of each Transferred Participant that are due on and after January 1, 2025. The purchase of the group annuity contract was funded directly by assets of the Plan and required no cash or asset contributions from CNA. As a result of the transaction, the Company will recognize a one-time non-cash pretax pension settlement charge of approximately $370 million ($265 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) in the fourth quarter of 2024. This charge is largely driven by the accelerated recognition of the actuarial pension loss from Accumulated other comprehensive income into Net income, which does not impact Shareholders’ equity. This charge will not impact cash flow for the fourth quarter or full year 2024.
