[1] | The mortality table (i.e. longevity) also impacts the DBO. The above sensitivity table illustrates the impact on the DBO of a further 10% decrease in the assumed rates of mortality for the company’s major plans. A 10% decrease in assumed mortality rates equals improvement of life expectancy by 0.5 - 1 year.
