The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company

Separate Account A

Independence Plus

Units of Interest under Group and Individual

Fixed and Variable Deferred Annuity Contracts

Prospectus

April 30, 2020

This prospectus offers flexible and single payment group and individual fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts (the "Contracts"). The Contracts are offered to Participants in certain employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans. Nonqualified Contracts are also available for certain employer-sponsored plans as well as for certain after-tax arrangements that are not part of an employer's plan.

The Contracts permit Participants to invest in and receive retirement benefits in up to 7 out of a total of 12 Fixed and Variable Account Options described in this prospectus. Each Variable Account Option invests in a separate portfolio of VALIC Company I.

Any guarantees under the Contract, including the death benefit, that exceed the value of your interest in the VALIC Separate Account A ("Separate Account") are paid from our general account (and not the Separate Account). Therefore, any amounts that we may pay under the Contract in excess of your interest in the Separate Account are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments.

Variable Account Options

 

Asset Allocation Fund

International Government Bond Fund

Capital Conservation Fund

International Socially Responsible Fund*

Government Money Market I Fund

Mid Cap Index Fund

Government Securities Fund

Small Cap Index Fund

International Equities Index Fund

Stock Index Fund

*Effective June 4, 2019, the Global Social Awareness Fund changed its name to the International Socially Responsible Fund.

This prospectus provides information employers and Participants should know before investing in the Contracts and will help each make decisions for selecting various investment options and benefits. Please read and retain this prospectus for future reference.

A Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"), dated April 30, 2020, contains additional information about the Contracts and is part of this prospectus. For a free copy call 1-800-448-2542. The table of contents for the SAI is shown at the end of this prospectus. The SAI has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is available along with other related materials at the SEC's Internet web site (http://www.sec.gov).

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the shareholder reports for variable account options available under your Contract will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on a web site, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a web site link to access the report. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from VALIC electronically by contacting us at 1-800-448-2542 or logging into your account at VALIC Online at www.valic.com .

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. You can inform VALIC that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by contacting 1-866-345-5954 or visiting FundReports.com and providing the 20-digit unique ID located above or below your mailing address. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all variable account options available under your Contract.

Investment in the Contracts is subject to risk that may cause the value of the owner's investment to fluctuate, and when the Contracts are surrendered, the value may be higher or lower than the purchase payments.

The SEC has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Glossary of Terms

Unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, the words "we," "us", "our," "Company," and "VALIC" mean The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company and the words "you" and "your" mean the Participant or the individual purchasing an individual Contract. Other specific terms we use in this prospectus are:

Account Value – the total sum of your Fixed Account Option and/or Variable Account Option that has not yet been applied to your Payout Payments.

Annuitant – the individual (in most cases, you) to whom Payout Payments will be paid.

Assumed Investment Rate – the rate used to determine your first monthly Payout Payment per thousand dollars of account value in your Variable Account Option.

Beneficiary – the individual designated to receive Payout Payments upon the death of the Annuitant.

Business Day – any weekday that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading. Normally, the NYSE is open Monday through Friday through 4:00 p.m. Eastern time ("Market Close"). On holidays or other days when the NYSE is closed, such as Good Friday, the Company is not open for business.

Contract Owner – the individual or entity to whom the Contract is issued. For a group Contract, the Contract Owner will be the employer purchasing the Contract for a retirement plan.

Division – the portion of the Separate Account invested in a particular Mutual Fund. Each Division is a sub- account of VALIC Separate Account A.

Fixed Account Option – an account that is guaranteed to earn at least a minimum rate of interest while invested in VALIC's general account.

Home Office – located at 2929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019.

Mutual Fund or Fund – the investment portfolio(s) of a registered open-end management investment company, which serves as the underlying investment vehicle for each Division represented in VALIC Separate Account A.

Participant – the individual (in most cases, you) who makes Purchase Payments or for whom Purchase Payments are made.

Participant Year – a 12-month period starting with the issue date of a Participant's Contract certificate and each anniversary of that date.

Payout Payments – annuity payments withdrawn in a steady stream during the Payout Period.

Payout Period – the time when you begin to withdraw your money in Payout Payments. This may also be called the "Annuity Period."

Payout Unit – a measuring unit used to calculate Payout Payments from your Variable Account Option. Payout Units measure value, which is calculated just like the Purchase Unit value for each Variable Account Option except that the initial Payout Unit includes a factor for the Assumed Investment Rate selected. Payout Unit values will vary with the investment experience of the VALIC Separate Account A Division in which you are invested.

Proof of Death – a certified copy of the death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to death, a written statement by an attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to

VALIC.

Purchase Payments – an amount of money you or your employer pay to VALIC to receive the benefits of a Contract.

Purchase Period – the accumulation period, or time between your first Purchase Payment and the beginning of your Payout Period (or surrender).

Purchase Unit – a unit of interest owned by you in your Variable Account Option.

Systematic Withdrawals – payments withdrawn on a regular basis during the Purchase Period.

VALIC Separate Account A or Separate Account – a segregated asset account established by VALIC under the Texas Insurance Code. The purpose of the VALIC Separate Account A is to receive and invest your Purchase Payments and Account Value in the Variable Account Option, if selected.

Variable Account Option – investment options that correspond to Separate Account Divisions offered by the Contracts.

Fee Tables

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the Contract. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract or surrender the Contract.

Contract Owner/Participant Transaction Expenses

Surrender Charge (as a percentage of the lesser of all Purchase Payments received

 

during the last 60 months or the amount surrendered, as applicable) (1)

5.00%

Maximum Loan Application Fee (per loan)

$60

State Premium Taxes (as a percentage of the amount annuitized)

0-3.5%

(1)No surrender charge will be applied if your account has been in effect for 15 years or longer, or your account has been in effect for 5 years or longer and you have attained age 59 ½. There will be no surrender charge on Purchase Payments received more than 60 months prior to surrender. Also, in any Participant Year, withdrawals of up to 10% of Account Value may be withdrawn without a surrender charge.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract, not including the Variable Account Option fees and expenses.

Annual Separate Account Expenses

Account Maintenance Charge

 

First Year

$5.00 per quarter

Thereafter

$3.75 per quarter

Mortality and Expense Risk

1.00%

The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Mutual Funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. More detail concerning each Mutual Funds' fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each Fund.

Total Annual Mutual Fund Operating Expenses

Maximum

(Expenses that are deducted from the assets of a Mutual Fund, including

 

 

management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses)

0.33%

0.81%

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner/Participant transaction expenses, Contract fees, Separate Account annual expenses and the Variable Account Option fees and expenses.

The example assumes that you invest a single Purchase Payment of $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses for a Variable Account Option 0.81%). The example does not include the effect of premium taxes upon annuitization, which, if reflected, would result in higher costs. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, the costs would be:

(1) If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 Year

3 Years

5 Years

10 Years

$667

$1,111

$1,557

$2,270

(2) If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period or you do not surrender your Contract:

1 Year

3 Years

5 Years

10 Years

$204

$618

$1,057

$2,270

 

 

3

 

 

The following example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year, but assumes the minimum fees and expenses for a Variable Account Option

(0.33%). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, the costs would be:

(1) If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 Year

3 Years

5 Years

10 Years

$621

$970

$1,307

$1,749

(2) If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period or you do not surrender your Contract:

1 Year

3 Years

5 Years

10 Years

$155

$471

$807

$1,749

Note: This example should not be considered representative of past or future expenses for VALIC Separate Account A or for any Mutual Fund. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown above. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the examples is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance.

Summary

Independence Plus is VALIC's combination fixed and variable annuity that offers you a wide choice of investment options and flexibility. A summary of Independence Plus's major features is presented below. For a more detailed discussion of Independence Plus, please read the entire prospectus carefully.

Fixed and Variable Options

Independence Plus offers a choice from among 2 Fixed Account Options and 10 Variable Account Options. Each of the Variable Account Options is a series of VALIC Company I. Participants will not be able to invest in all of the Variable Account Options described below within a single group or individual annuity contract. If your Contract is part of an employer's retirement

program, that program will describe which Variable Account Options are available to you. The two Fixed Account Options are Fixed Account Plus and the Short- Term Fixed Account that are each part of the general account assets of the Company. See the "Fixed Account Option" and "Variable Account Option" sections below.

Guaranteed Death Benefit

The Contract offers a death benefit upon the death of the Annuitant during the Purchase Period equal to the greater of Account Value or Purchase Payments reduced by withdrawals.

5

 

Transfers

There is no charge to transfer the money in your account among the Contract's investment options. You may transfer your Account Value between Variable Account Options at any time during the Purchase Period, subject to certain rules. For more information on account transfers, see the "Transfers Between Investment Options" section in this prospectus.

Your Account Value in the Short-Term Fixed Account must remain there for at least 90 days before it can be transferred to other investment options. In Fixed Account Plus, up to 20% of your Account Value may be transferred during each Participant Year to other investment options.

Once you begin receiving annuity payments from your account (during the Payout Period), you may still transfer funds among Variable Account Options once every 365 days.

Fees and Charges

Account Maintenance Charge. During the first Participant Year, a quarterly account maintenance charge of $5.00 is charged to your account. After the first Participant Year, the quarterly account maintenance charge is $3.75.

Surrender Charge. Under some circumstances a surrender charge is deducted from your account. These situations are discussed in detail in the section of this prospectus entitled "Fees and Charges - Surrender Charge" section of the prospectus. When this happens, the surrender charge is computed in two ways and you are charged whichever amount is less. The first amount is simply 5% of whatever amount you have withdrawn. The second amount is 5% of the contributions you made to your account during the last 60 months.

Withdrawals are always subject to your plan provisions and federal tax restrictions, which generally include a tax penalty on withdrawals made prior to age 59 ½.

Premium Tax Charge. Premium taxes ranging from zero to 3.5% are currently imposed by certain states and municipalities. For a detailed discussion on timing and deduction of premium taxes see the section of this prospectus entitled "Fees and Charges -- Premium Tax Charge."

Separate Account Charges. If you choose a Variable Account Option you will incur a mortality and expense risk fee computed at an aggregate annualized rate of 1.00% on the average daily net asset value of your Contract allocated to the Variable Account Option. Since some of these fees may not apply to your Contract,

consult your VALIC financial professional to see how these provisions apply to you.

Payout Options

When you withdraw your money, you can select from several payout options: an annuity (which guarantees payment for as long as you live), periodic withdrawals and systematic withdrawals. More information on payout options can be found in the "Payout Period" section of this prospectus.

Federal Tax Information

Although deferred annuity contracts such as these Contracts can be purchased with after-tax dollars, they are primarily used in connection with retirement programs that already receive favorable tax treatment under federal law.

Annuities, custodial accounts and trusts used to fund tax- qualified retirement plans and programs (such as those established under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") sections 403(b) or 401(k) and individual retirement plans ("IRAs") generally defer payment on taxes and earnings until withdrawal. If you are considering an annuity to fund a tax-qualified plan or program, you should know that an annuity generally does not provide additional tax deferral beyond the tax- qualified plan or program itself. Annuities, however, may provide other important features and benefits such as the income payout option, which means that you can choose to receive periodic payments for the rest of your life or for a certain number of years, and a minimum guaranteed death benefit, which protects your Beneficiaries if you die before you begin the income payout option Before purchasing a deferred annuity for use in a qualified retirement plan or program, you should see tax advice from your own tax advisor. For a more detailed discussion of these income tax provisions, see "Federal Tax Matters" section in this prospectus.

Purchase Requirements

If the Contract is a flexible Purchase Payment Contract, Purchase Payments may be made at any time but each Purchase Payment must be at least $30 per Participant account. The amount of each Purchase Payment allocated to each Variable Account Option and Fixed Account Option must also be at least $30. If the Contract is a single Purchase Payment Contract, the minimum Purchase Payment is $1,000 per Participant account. These minimums may be waived where one purchaser, such as an employer, purchases a number of Contracts.

6

 

Cancellation – The "Free Look" Period

The Contract Owner of a group Contract (employer) or individual Contract Owner may cancel a Contract by returning it to the Company within 10 days after it is received. The free look does not apply to Participant certificates except in a limited number of states. To cancel the Contract, the Contract Owner must send a written request for cancellation and return the Contract to us at our Home Office before the end of the "Free Look" period. A refund will be made to the Contract Owner within seven days after receipt of the Contract as required.

Loans

Certain Contracts may offer a tax-free loan provision for tax-qualified Contracts, other than IRAs, which gives you access to your money in the Fixed Account Options (subject to a minimum loan amount of $1,000). The availability of loans is subject to federal and state government regulations, as well as your employer's plan provisions and VALIC policy. Generally, one loan per account will be allowed. Under certain, specific circumstances, a maximum of two loans per account may be allowed. VALIC reserves the right to change this limit. We may charge a loan application fee if permitted under state law. Keep in mind that tax laws restrict withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ and a tax penalty may apply (including on a loan that is not repaid).

General Information

About the Contracts

The Contracts were developed to help you save money for your retirement. A group Contract is a Contract that is purchased by an employer for a retirement plan. The employer and the plan documents will determine how contributions may be made to the Contracts. For example, the employer and plan documents may allow contributions to come from different sources, such as payroll deductions or money transfers. The amount, number, and frequency of your Purchase Payments may also be determined by the retirement plan for which your Contract was purchased. Likewise, the employer's plan may have limitations on partial or total withdrawals (surrenders), the start of annuity payments, and the type of annuity payout options you select.

The Contracts offer a combination of fixed and variable investment options that you, as a Participant, may choose to invest in to help you reach your retirement savings goals. You should consider your personal risk tolerances and your retirement plan in choosing your investment options. You will be permitted to select up to seven investment options.

The retirement savings process with the Contracts will involve two stages: the accumulation Purchase Period, and the annuity Payout Period. The accumulation period is when you make contributions into the Contracts called "Purchase Payments." The Payout Period begins when you decide to annuitize all or a portion of your Account Value. You can select from a wide array of payout options including both fixed and variable payments. For certain types of retirement plans, such as 403(b) plans, there may be statutory restrictions on withdrawals as disclosed in the plan documents. Please refer to your plan document for guidance and any rules or restrictions regarding the accumulation or annuitization periods. For

more information, see "Purchase Period" and "Payout Period" section in this prospectus.

American Home Assurance Company

Insurance obligations under Contracts issued by the Company are guaranteed by American Home Assurance Company ("American Home"), an affiliate of the Company. Insurance obligations include, without limitation, Contract value invested in any available fixed account option, death benefits and income options. The guarantee does not guarantee Contract value or the investment performance of the Variable Account Options available under the Contracts. The guarantee provides that the Company's Contract owners can enforce the guarantee directly.

American Home provided notice of termination of the General Guarantee Agreement dated March 3, 2003 (the "Guarantee") with respect to contracts issued by VALIC. The Guarantee terminated on December 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time ("Point of Termination"). Pursuant to its terms, the Guarantee will not apply to any group or individual contract or certificate issued after the Point of Termination. The Guarantee will remain in effect for any contract or certificate issued prior to the Point of Termination until all insurance obligations under such contracts or certificates are satisfied in full. As described in the prospectus, VALIC will continue to remain obligated under all of its contracts and certificates, regardless of issue date, in accordance with the terms of those contracts and certificates.

American Home is a stock property-casualty insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on February 7, 1899. American Home's principal executive office is located at 175 Water Street, New York, New York 10038. American Home is licensed in all 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia, as well as certain foreign jurisdictions, and engages in a broad range of insurance and reinsurance activities. American Home is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG.

About VALIC Separate Account A

When you direct money to the Contract's Variable Account Options, you will be sending that money through VALIC Separate Account A. You do not invest directly in the Mutual Funds made available in the Contracts. VALIC Separate Account A invests in the Mutual Funds on behalf of your account. VALIC acts as self custodian for the Mutual Fund shares owned through the Separate Account. VALIC Separate Account A is made up of what we call "Divisions." Ten Divisions are available and represent the Variable Account Options in the Contracts. Each of these Divisions invests in a different Mutual Fund made available through the Contracts. For example, Division Ten represents and invests in the (VALIC Company I) Stock Index Fund. The earnings (or losses) of each Division are credited to

(or charged against) the assets of that Division, and do not affect the performance of the other Divisions of VALIC Separate Account A.

VALIC established VALIC Separate Account A on July 25, 1979 under Texas insurance law. VALIC Separate Account A is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"). Units of interest in VALIC Separate Account A are registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

VALIC Separate Account A is administered and accounted for as part of the Company's business operations. However, the income, capital gains or capital losses, whether or not realized, of each Division of VALIC Separate Account A are credited to or charged against the assets held in that Division without regard to the income, capital gains or capital losses of any other Division or arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. In accordance with the terms of the Contracts, VALIC Separate Account A may not be charged with the liabilities of any other Company operation. As stated in the Contracts, the Texas Insurance Code requires that the assets of VALIC Separate Account A attributable to the Contracts be held exclusively for the benefit of the Contract Owner, Participants, Annuitants, and Beneficiaries of the Contracts. The commitments under the Contracts are VALIC's, and AIG and SAFG have no legal obligation to back these commitments.

Units of Interest

Your investment in a Division of VALIC Separate Account A is represented by units of interest issued by VALIC Separate Account A. On a daily basis, the units of interest issued by VALIC Separate Account A are revalued to reflect that day's performance of the underlying mutual fund minus any applicable fees and charges to VALIC Separate Account A.

Distribution of the Contracts

The principal underwriter and distributor for VALIC Separate Account A is AIG Capital Services, Inc. ("ACS" or "Distributor"). ACS, an affiliate of the Company, is located at 21650 Oxnard Street, Suite 750, Woodland Hills, CA 91367-4997. For more information about the Distributor, see "Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts" in the SAI.

The Contracts are no longer offered to new plans but may available to participants in plans with an existing Contract. Previously, the Contracts were sold by licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of broker-dealers, which are members of FINRA. VALIC no longer pays commissions to financial professionals for

8

 

sales or subsequent Purchase Payments made into the Contracts. In addition, the Company and the Distributor no longer enter into marketing and/or sales agreements with broker-dealers regarding the promotion and marketing of the Contracts.

Administration of the Contracts

VALIC is responsible for the administrative servicing of your contract. Please contact the Annuity Service Center at 1-800-448-2542, if you have any comments, questions or service requests.

Business Disruption and Cyber Security Risks. We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our variable product business activities. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from physical disruptions and utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions) and cyber-attacks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruptions and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Such systems failures and cyber-attacks affecting us, any third- party administrator, the underlying Funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers, as well as our distribution partners, may adversely affect us and your Contract value. For instance, systems failures and cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website, our distribution partners, or with the underlying Funds, impact our ability to calculate Purchase Unit values, cause the release and possible

destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers, distribution partners and other intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation risks and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying Funds invest, which may cause the Funds underlying your Contract to lose value. Despite our implementation of policies and procedures that address physical, administrative and technical safeguards and controls and other preventative actions to protect customer information and reduce the risk of cyber- incident, there can be no assurance that we or our distribution partners or the underlying Funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your Contract and personal information due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

Our business is also vulnerable to disruptions from natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, such as but not limited to hurricanes, windstorms, flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, solar storms, war or other military action, acts of terrorism, explosions and fires, pandemic (such as COVID-19) and other highly contagious diseases, mass torts and other catastrophes. A natural or man-made disaster or catastrophe may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely, and may also interfere with our ability to receive, pickup and process mail, to calculate Purchase Unit values or process other Contract-related transactions, or have other possible negative impacts. While we have developed and put in place business continuity and disaster recovery plans to mitigate operational risks and potential losses related to business disruptions resulting from natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, there can be no assurance that we, our agents, the underlying Funds or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts resulting from such disasters and catastrophes.

Fixed Account Options

The Contracts offer two guaranteed fixed options that are each part of the general account assets of the Company. These Assets are invested in accordance with applicable state regulations to provide fixed-rate earnings and guarantee safety of principal. The guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the Company, and not the Separate Account. The Fixed Account Options are not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act and are not required to be registered under the 1933 Act. As a result, the SEC has not reviewed data in this prospectus that relates to the Fixed Account Options. However, federal securities law does require such data to be accurate and complete.

Fixed Account Plus -This account provides fixed-return investment growth for the long-term. It is credited with interest at rates set by VALIC. The account is guaranteed to earn at least a minimum rate of interest. There are limitations on transfers out of this option. Purchase Payments allocated to a Fixed Account Option will receive an initial rate of interest. There are limitations on transfers out of this option. If you transfer assets from Fixed Account Plus to a Variable Account Option, any assets transferred back into Fixed Account Plus within 90 days will receive the current rate of interest, which may be lower than the initial rate.

Short-Term Fixed Account- This account provides fixed-return investment growth for the short-term. It is

9

 

credited with interest at rates set by VALIC which may be lower than the rates credited to Fixed Account Plus, above. The account is guaranteed to earn at least a minimum rate of interest.

Money allocated to a Fixed Account Option goes into VALIC's general account. The general account consists of all of VALIC's assets, other than assets attributable to a separate account. All of the assets in the general

account are chargeable with the claims of any VALIC Contract holders as well as all of its creditors. The general account funds are invested as permitted under state insurance laws. Purchase Payments and interest earned on such amounts in your Fixed Account Option will be paid regardless of the investment results experienced by VALIC's general assets. Thus, we bear the entire investment risk for the Fixed Account Options.

Variable Account Options

The Contracts enable you to participate in Divisions that represent ten Variable Account Options, shown below. Your retirement program may limit the number of Variable Account Options in which you may invest. Certain additional limitations may also apply. See "About VALIC Separate Account A."

Each individual Division represents and invests, through VALIC's Separate Account A, in a specific portfolio of VALIC Company I. VALIC Company I serves as the investment vehicle for Independence Plus. VALIC Company I is registered as an open-end management investment company and is regulated under the 1940 Act. A brief description of the investment objective and strategy of each Variable Account Option is shown below.

SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC ("SunAmerica"), an affiliate of VALIC due to common ownership, serves as sub-adviser to certain Mutual Funds.

For more detailed information about each investment option, including investment strategy and risks, you should refer to the VALIC Company I prospectus. Copies are available online at www.valic.com or you may call 1-800-448-2542 to request a copy. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Purchase Period

The Purchase Period begins when your first Purchase Payment is made and continues until you begin your Payout Period. This period may also be called the accumulation period, as you save for retirement. Changes in the value of each Fixed and Variable Account Option are reflected in your overall Account Value. Thus, your investment choices and their performance will affect the total Account Value that will be available for the Payout Period. The amount, number, and frequency of Purchase Payments may be determined by the retirement plan for which the Contract was purchased. The Purchase Period will end upon death, upon surrender, or when you complete the process to begin the Payout Period.

Account Establishment

You must establish an account through a financial professional. Initial Purchase Payments must be received by VALIC either with, or after, a completed application. If part of an employer-sponsored retirement plan, then your employer is responsible for remitting Purchase Payments to us. The employer is responsible for furnishing instructions to us (a premium flow report) as to the amount being applied to your account (see below).

The maximum single payment that may be applied to any account without prior Home Office approval is $750,000. Minimum initial and subsequent Purchase Payments are as follows:

Contract Type

Initial Payment

Subsequent Payment

Periodic Payment

$30

$30

Single Payment

$1,000

–0–

 

 

 

Purchase Payment minimums apply to each Periodic Payment made. The Single Payment minimum applies to each of your accounts.

When an initial Purchase Payment is accompanied by an application, we will promptly:

Accept the application and establish your account. We will also apply your Purchase Payment by crediting the amount, on the date we accept your application, to the Fixed or Variable Account Option selected;

Reject the application and return the Purchase Payment; or

Request additional information to correct or complete the application. In the case of an individual variable annuity Contract, we will return the Purchase Payments within 5 Business Days if the requested information is not provided, unless you otherwise so specify. Once you provide us with the requested information, we will establish your account and apply your Purchase Payment, on the date we accept your

application, by crediting the amount to the Fixed or Variable Account Option selected.

If we receive Purchase Payments from your employer before we receive your completed application or enrollment form, we will not be able to establish a permanent account for you. If this occurs, we will take one of the following actions:

Return Purchase Payments. If we do not have your name, address or Social Security Number ("SSN"), we will return the Purchase Payment to your employer unless this information is immediately provided to us;

Employer-Directed Account. If we have your name, address and SSN and we have an Employer-Directed Account Agreement with your employer, generally we will deposit your Purchase Payment in an "Employer-Directed" account invested in the Government Money Market I Fund (Division 6), or other investment options chosen by your employer. If your employer chooses another investment option

11

 

other than the Government Money Market I Fund (Division 6), the value of your investment may fluctuate and you could lose money. You may not transfer these amounts until VALIC has received a completed application or enrollment form; or

Starter Account. If we have your name, address and SSN, but we do not have an Employer- Directed Account Agreement from your employer, we will deposit your Purchase Payment in a "starter" account invested in the Government Money Market I Fund (Division 6) option available for your plan or other investment options chosen by your employer. We will send you a follow-up letter requesting the information necessary to complete the application, including your allocation instructions. You may not transfer these amounts until VALIC has received a completed application or enrollment form.

If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a Purchase Payment. We may also be required to block a Contract Owner's account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, loans or death benefits, until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator.

When Your Account Will be Credited

Depending on your retirement plan, Purchase Payments may be made by your employer for your account or by you for an IRA or certain nonqualified Contracts. It is the employer's or the individual's responsibility to ensure that the Purchase Payment can be promptly posted to the appropriate account(s).

A Purchase Payment must be "in good order" before it can be posted to your account. "In good order" means that all required information and/or documentation has been supplied and that the funds (check, wire, or ACH) clearly identify the individual SSN or group number to which they are to be applied. To ensure efficient posting for Employer-Directed accounts, Purchase Payment information must include complete instructions, including the group name and number, each employee's name and SSN, contribution amounts (balanced to the penny for the total purchase) and the source of the funds (for example, employee voluntary, employer mandatory, employer match, transfer, rollover or a contribution for a particular tax year). Purchase Payments for individual accounts must include the name, SSN, and the source of the funds (for example, transfer, rollover, or a contribution for a particular tax year).

If the Purchase Payment is in good order as described and is received by our bank by Market Close, the appropriate account(s) will be credited the Business Day of receipt.

Purchase Payments in good order received after Market Close will be credited the next Business Day.

Please note that if the Purchase Payment is not in good order, the employer or individual will be notified promptly. No amounts will be posted to any accounts until all issues with the Purchase Payment have been resolved. If a Purchase Payment is not received in good order, the purchase amounts will be posted effective the date all required information is received.

Purchase Units

A Purchase Unit is a unit of interest owned by you in your Variable Account Option. Purchase Unit values are calculated each Business Day following Market Close. Purchase Units may be shown as "Number of Shares" and the Purchase Unit values may be shown as "Share Price" on some account statements. See "Purchase Unit Value" in the SAI for more information and an illustration of the calculation of the unit value.

Calculation of Value for the Fixed Account Options

You may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account Options listed in this prospectus as permitted by your retirement program. A complete discussion of the Fixed Account Options may be found in the "Fixed Account Options" section in this prospectus. The value of your Fixed Account Option is calculated on a given Business Day as shown below:

Calculation of Value for the Variable Account Options

You may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payments to the Variable Account Options listed in this prospectus as permitted by your retirement program. As noted elsewhere in the prospectus, you will not be permitted to select from more than seven investment options. A complete discussion of the Variable Account Options may be found in the "Variable Account Options" section in this prospectus. Based upon a Variable Account Option's Purchase Unit value, your account will

12

 

be credited with the applicable number of Purchase Units, including any dividends or capital gains declared on behalf of the underlying Funds as of that day. If the Purchase Payment is in good order as described and is received by our bank by Market Close, the appropriate account(s) will be credited the Business Day of receipt and will receive that Business Day's Purchase Unit value. Purchase Payments in good order received by our bank after Market Close will be credited the next Business Day and will receive the next Business Day's Purchase Unit value. The Purchase Unit value of each Variable Account Option will change each Business Day depending upon the investment performance of the Mutual Fund (which may be positive or negative) and the deduction of the separate account charges. See "Fees and Charges" section of this prospectus. Because Purchase Unit values for each Variable Account Option changes each Business Day, the number of Purchase Units your account will be credited with for subsequent Purchase Payments will vary. Each Variable Account Option bears its own investment risk. Therefore, the value of your account may be worth more or less at retirement or withdrawal.

During periods of low short-term interest rates, and in part due to Contract fees and expenses, the yield of the Government Money Market I Fund (Division 6) may become extremely low and possibly negative. If the daily

dividends paid by the underlying mutual fund are less than the daily portion of the separate account charges, the Purchase Unit value will decrease. In the case of negative yields, your investment in the Government Money Market I Fund will lose value.

Stopping Purchase Payments

Purchase Payments may be stopped at any time. Purchase Payments may be resumed at any time during the Purchase Period. The value of the Purchase Units will continue to vary, and your Account Value will continue to be subject to charges. The Account Value will be considered surrendered when you begin the Payout Period. You may not make Purchase Payments during the Payout Period.

If both your Account Value and Purchase Payments (less any withdrawals) fall below $300, and you do not make any Purchase Payments for at least a two year period, we may close the account and pay the Account Value to the Participant. We will not assess a surrender charge in this instance. Any such account closures will be subject to applicable distribution restrictions under the Contract and/or under your employer's plan.

Transfers Between Investment Options

You may transfer all or part of your Account Value between the various Fixed and Variable Account Options in Independence Plus without a charge. Transfers may be made during the Purchase Period or during the Payout Period, subject to certain restrictions. We reserve the right to limit the number, frequency (minimum period of time between transfers) or dollar amount of transfers you can make and to restrict the method and manner of providing or communicating transfers or reallocation instructions. You will be notified of any changes to this policy through newsletters or information posted online at www.valic.com. Your employer's plan may also limit your rights to transfer.

During the Purchase Period – Policy Against Market Timing and Frequent Transfers

VALIC has a policy to discourage excessive trading and market timing. Our investment options are not designed to accommodate short-term trading or "market timing" organizations, or individuals engaged in certain trading strategies, such as programmed transfers, frequent transfers, or transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of a mutual fund. These trading strategies may be disruptive to mutual funds by diluting the value of the fund shares, negatively affecting investment strategies and increasing portfolio turnover. Excessive trading may

also raise fund expenses, such as recordkeeping and transaction costs, and can potentially harm fund performance. Further, excessive trading may harm fund investors, as the excessive trader takes security profits intended for the entire fund and could force securities to be sold to meet redemption needs. The premature selling and disrupted investment strategy could cause the fund's performance to suffer, and exerts downward pressure on the fund's price per share.

Accordingly, VALIC implemented certain policies and procedures intended to hinder short-term trading. If Contract Owner Purchase Units in a Variable Account Option valued at $5,000 or more, whether through an exchange, transfer, or any other redemption, the Contract Owner will not be able to make a purchase of $5,000 or more in that same Variable Account Option for 30 calendar days.

This policy applies only to investor-initiated trades of $5,000 or more, and does not apply to the following:

Plan-level or employer-initiated transactions;

Purchase transactions involving transfers of assets or rollovers;

Retirement plan contributions, loans, and distributions (including hardship withdrawals);

13

 

Roth IRA conversions or IRA recharacterizations;

Systematic purchases or redemptions;

Systematic account rebalancing; or

Trades of less than $5,000.

As described in a Fund's prospectus and SAI, in addition to the above, fund purchases, transfers and other redemptions may be subject to other investor trading policies, including redemption fees, if applicable. Certain Funds may set limits on transfers in and out of a Fund within a set time period in addition to or in lieu of the policy above. Also, an employer's benefit plan may limit an investor's rights to transfer.

We intend to enforce these investor trading policies uniformly. We make no assurances that all the risks associated with frequent trading will be completely eliminated by these policies and/or restrictions. If we are unable to detect or prevent market timing activity may result in additional transaction costs for the Variable Account Options and dilution of long-term performance returns. Thus, a Contract Owner's account value may be lower due to the effect of the extra costs and resultant lower performance. We reserve the right to modify these policies at any time.

Communicating Transfer or Reallocation Instructions

Transfer instructions may be given by telephone, through the internet (VALIC Online), using the self-service automated phone system (VALIC by Phone), or in writing. We encourage you to make transfers or reallocations using VALIC Online or VALIC by Phone for most efficient processing. We will send a confirmation of transactions to the Participant within five days from the date of the transaction. It is your responsibility to verify the information shown and notify us of any errors within 30 calendar days of the transaction.

Generally, no one may give us telephone instructions on your behalf without your written or recorded verbal consent. Financial professionals or authorized broker- dealer employees who have received client permission to perform a client-directed transfer of value via the telephone or Internet will follow prescribed verification procedures.

When receiving instructions over the telephone or online, we follow appropriate procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the transactions executed are genuine. Thus, we are not responsible for any claim, loss or expense from any error resulting from instructions received over the telephone or online. If we fail to follow our procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, waive or terminate these transfer provisions at any time.

Effective Date of Transfer

The effective date of a transfer will be:

The date of receipt, if received in our Home Office before Market Close; otherwise,

Fees and Charges

By investing in Independence Plus, you may be subject to the following basic types of fees and charges:

Account Maintenance Charge

Surrender Charge

Premium Tax Charge

Separate Account Charges

Other Tax Charges

These fees and charges are applied to the Fixed and Variable Account Options in proportion to the Account Value as explained below. Unless we state otherwise, we may profit from these fees and charges. For additional information about these fees and charges, see the "Fee Tables" section of this prospectus.

Account Maintenance Charge

During the Purchase Period an account maintenance charge of $5.00 will be deducted on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter following receipt of the first purchase payment during the first Participant Year. After the first Participant Year, the quarterly account maintenance charge is $3.75. We will sell Purchase Units from your account to pay the account maintenance charge. The charge will be assessed equally among the Variable Account Options and Fixed Account Options that make up your Account Value. We do not charge an account maintenance charge during the Payout Period.

The account maintenance charge is to reimburse the Company for our administrative expenses. This includes the expense for establishing and maintaining the record keeping for the Contracts.

Surrender Charge

right to surrender, see "Surrender of Account Value" in this prospectus.

It is assumed that the most recent Purchase Payments are withdrawn first. No surrender charge will be applied unless an amount is actually withdrawn. We consider all Purchase Payments to be withdrawn before earnings are withdrawn.

Amount of Surrender Charge. A surrender charge will be the lesser of:

Five percent (5%) of the amount of all Purchase Payments received during the past 60 months; or

Five percent (5%) of the amount withdrawn.

10% Free Withdrawal. In any Participant Year, the first withdrawal of up to 10% of the Account Value will not be subject to a surrender charge. The surrender charge will apply to the lesser of any amount withdrawn that exceeds this 10% limit or the amount of the surrender attributable to Purchase Payments received during the most recent 60 months. The percentage withdrawn will be determined by dividing the amount withdrawn by the Account Value just prior to the withdrawal.

These 10% withdrawals without charge do not reduce Purchase Payments for the purpose of computing the surrender charge. If a surrender charge is applied to all or part of a Purchase Payment, no surrender charge will be applied to such Purchase Payment (or portion thereof) again. There may be a 10% premature distribution tax penalty for taking a withdrawal prior to age 59 ½. See "Federal Tax Matters" for more information.

Exceptions to Surrender Charge. No surrender charge will be applied:

When you withdraw money from your account, you may be subject to a surrender charge that will be deducted from the amount withdrawn. For information about your

To money applied to provide a Payout Option;

To death benefits;

15

 

If no Purchase Payments have been received during the 60 months prior to the date of surrender;

If your account has been in effect for 15 years or longer;

If your account has been in effect for 5 years or longer, and you have attained age 59 ½; or

If you have become totally and permanently disabled, defined as follows: you are unable, due to mental or physical impairment, to perform the material and substantial duties of any occupation for which you are suited by means of education, training or experience; the impairment must have been in existence for more than 180 days; the impairment must be expected to result in death or be long-standing and indefinite and proof of disability must be evidenced by a certified copy of a Social Security Administration determination.

Premium Tax Charge

Premium taxes are imposed by some states, cities, and towns. The rate will range from 0% to 3.5%, depending on whether the Contract is qualified or nonqualified. Such tax will be deducted from the Account Value when annuity payments are to begin. We will not profit from this charge.

Separate Account Charges

There will be a mortality and expense risk fee applied to VALIC Separate Account A. This is a daily charge at an annualized rate of 1.00% on the average daily net asset value of VALIC Separate Account A. This charge is guaranteed and cannot be increased by the Company. The mortality and expense risk fee is to compensate the

Company for assuming mortality and expense risks under Independence Plus. The mortality risk that the Company assumes is the obligation to provide payments during the Payout Period for your life no matter how long that might be. In addition, the Company assumes the obligation to pay during the Purchase Period a death benefit, which may be higher than your Account Value. For more information about the death benefit see the "Death Benefit" section in this prospectus. The expense risk is our obligation to cover the cost of issuing and administering Independence Plus, no matter how large the cost may be. Separate Account Charges are not applied to Variable Investment Options during the Payout Period. For more information about the mortality and expense risk fee, see the "Fee Tables" in this prospectus.

Other Charges

We reserve the right to charge for certain taxes (in addition to premium taxes) that we may have to pay. This could include federal income taxes. Currently, no such charges are being made.

Fees for plan services provided by parties other than VALIC or its affiliates maybe assessed to participant accounts upon the direction or authorization of a plan representative. Such withdrawals will be identified on applicable participant account reports.

Plan loans from the Fixed Account options may be allowed by your employer's plan. Refer to your plan for a description of charges and other information concerning plan loans. We reserve the right to charge a fee of up to $60 per loan (if permitted under state law) and to limit the number of outstanding loans.

Payout Period

The Payout Period begins when you decide to retire or otherwise withdraw your money in a steady stream of payments. If your employer's plan permits, you may apply all or a portion of your Account Value to one of the types of payout options listed below. You may choose to have your payout option on either a fixed, a variable, or a combination payout basis. When you choose to have your payout option on a variable basis, you may keep the same Variable Account Options in which your Purchase Payments were made, or transfer to different ones. If you do not elect a payout option, the payout option will mirror the allocation of investment options in your Contract upon annuitization. For example, if your Account Value is allocated solely to the Variable Account Option upon annuitization and you have not made an election, a variable payout option will be applied, or if your Account Value is allocated to a Fixed Account Option, a fixed payout option will be applied.

Similarly, if your Account Value is allocated to both Fixed and Variable Account Options, a combination fixed and variable payout option will be applied.

Fixed Payout

Under Fixed Payout, you will receive payments from the Company. These payments are fixed and guaranteed by the Company. The amount of these payments will depend on:

Type and duration of payout option chosen;

Your age or your age and the age of your survivor(1);

Your gender or your gender and the gender of your survivor(1) (IRAs and certain nonqualified contracts);

16

 

The portion of your Account Value being applied; and

The payout rate being applied and the frequency of the payments.

(1)This applies only to joint and survivor payouts.

If the benefit would be greater, the amount of your payments will be based on the current payout rate the Company uses for immediate annuity contracts.

Assumed Investment Rate

An "Assumed Investment Rate" or "AIR" is the rate used to determine your first monthly Payout Payment per thousand dollars of account value in your Variable Account Option. When you decide to enter the Payout Period, you will select your Payout Option, your Annuity Date, and the AIR. You may choose an AIR ranging from 3.5% to 5% (as prescribed by state law). If you choose a higher AIR, the initial Annuity Payment will be higher, but later payments will increase more slowly during periods of good investment performance, and decrease faster during periods of poor investment performance. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net investment return equals the AIR. Your choice of AIR may affect the duration and frequency of payments, depending on the Payout Option selected. For example, a higher AIR will generate a higher initial Payout Payment, but as Payout Payments continue they may become smaller, and eventually could be less than if you had initially selected a lower AIR. The frequency of the Payout Payments may lessen to ensure that each Payout Payment is at least $25 per month.

Variable Payout

With a variable payout, you may select from your existing Variable Account Options. Your payments will vary accordingly. This is due to the varying investment results that will be experienced by each of the Variable Account Options you selected. The Payout Unit value is calculated just like the Purchase Unit value for each Variable Account Option except that the Payout Unit value includes a factor for the AIR you select. For additional information on how Payout Payments and Payout Unit values are calculated, see the SAI.

In determining the first Payout Payment, an AIR of 3.5% is used (unless you select a higher rate as allowed by state law). If the net investment experience of the Variable Account Option exceeds the AIR, subsequent payments will be greater than your first payment. If the investment experience of the Variable Account Option is lower than the AIR, subsequent payments will be less than your first payment.

Combination Fixed and Variable Payout

With a combination fixed and variable payout, you may choose:

From your existing Variable Account Options (payment will vary); with a

Fixed payout (payment is fixed and guaranteed).

Partial Annuitization

A Participant may choose to annuitize a portion of the Account Value. This will, in essence, divide the Account Value into two parts. The current non-annuitized part would continue as before, while the annuitized part would effectively be moved to a new Payout Payment account. Thus, the death benefit in such a situation would be reduced to the value of the amount remaining in the account minus the amount applied to Payout Payments. Depending on the payout option selected, there may also be a death benefit from the annuitized portion of the account, such as a payout for a guaranteed period.

Payout Date

The payout date is the date elected by you on which the annuity Payout Payments will start. The date elected must be the first of any month. A request to start payments must be received in our Home Office on a form approved by VALIC. This request must be received by VALIC by at least the 15th day of the month prior to the month you wish your annuity payments to start. Your account will be valued ten days prior to the beginning of the month in which the Payout Payments will start.

The following additional rules also apply when determining the payout date:

The earliest payout date for a nonqualified Contract, an IRA, or a Roth IRA, is established by the terms of the Contract, and generally can be any time from age 50 to age 75, and may not be later than age 75 without VALIC's consent.

The earliest payout date for all other qualified Contracts is generally subject to the terms of the employer-sponsored plan (including 403(b) plans and programs) under which the Contract is issued and the federal tax rules governing such Contracts and plans.

Distributions from qualified Contracts issued under employer-sponsored retirement plans generally are not permitted until after you stop working for the employer sponsoring the plan, unless you have experienced a qualifying financial hardship (or in the case of a 457(b) plan, an unforeseeable emergency) or unless you have become disabled.

17

 

In certain cases, and frequently in the case of your voluntary deferrals to a 403(b) or a 401(k) plan, you may begin taking distributions when you attain age 59 ½ even if you are still working for the employer sponsoring the plan.

Except in the case of nonqualified Contracts, IRAs, and Roth IRAs, distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 following the calendar year you reach age 72 or the calendar year in which you retire, if later. Similar rules apply to IRAs, however distributions from those Contracts may not be postponed until after retirement.

All contracts require distributions to commence within a prescribed period after the death of the Contract Owner/Participant, subject to the specific rules which apply to the type of plan or arrangement under which the contract is issued.

The Contracts may also impose minimum amounts for annuity payments, either on an annual or on a more frequent periodic basis.

For additional information on plan-level distribution restrictions and on the minimum distribution rules that apply to payments under 403(b), 401, 403(a) and 457 plans, simplified employee plans ("SEPs") or IRAs, see "Federal Tax Matters" in this prospectus and in the SAI.

Payout Options

You may specify the manner in which your Payout Payments are made. You may select one of the following options for a Fixed Annuity, a Variable Annuity, or a combination Fixed and Variable Annuity. This choice is a one-time permanent choice. Your Payout Payment annuity option may not be changed later and it may not be exchanged for a cash payment.

Life Only — payments are made only to you during your lifetime. Under this option there is no provision for a death benefit for the Beneficiary. For example, it would be possible under this option for the Annuitant to receive only one Payout Payment if the Annuitant died prior to the date of the second payment, or two if the Annuitant died before the third payment.

Life with Guaranteed Period — payments are made to you during your lifetime, but if you die before the guaranteed period has expired, payments will continue to the Beneficiary for the rest of the guaranteed period.

Life with Cash or Unit Refund — payments are made to you during your lifetime. These payments are based upon your life expectancy and will continue for as long as you live. If you do not outlive the life expectancy calculated for you, upon your death, your Beneficiary may receive an

additional payment. The payment under a Fixed Annuity, if any, is equal to the Fixed Annuity value of the Participant's Account at the time it was valued for the Payout Date, less the Payout Payments. The payment under a Variable Annuity, if any, is equal to the Variable Annuity value of the Participant's Account as of the date we receive Proof of Death, less the Payout Payments.

Joint and Survivor Life — payments are made to you during the joint lifetime of you and a second person. Upon the death of one, payments continue during the lifetime of the survivor. This option is designed primarily for couples who require maximum possible variable payouts during their joint lives and are not concerned with providing for Beneficiaries at death of the last survivor. For example, it would be possible under this option for the joint Annuitants to receive only one payment if both Annuitants died prior to the date of the second payment, or for the joint Annuitants to receive only one payment and the surviving Annuitant to receive only one payment if one Annuitant died prior to the date of the second payment and the surviving Annuitant dies prior to the date of the third payment. For example, if the Annuitant dies before receiving a Payout Payment, the first Payout Payment will be made to the second designated person. If both Annuitant and the second designated person die before the first Payout Payment is made, no Payout Payments will be made.

Payment for a Designated Period — payments are made to you for a select number of years between three and 30. Upon your death, payments will continue to your Beneficiary until the designated period is completed. Payment for a designated period is available as a fixed payout option only.

Payout Information

Once your Payout Payments have begun, the option you have chosen may not be stopped or changed. Any one of the Variable Account Options may result in your receiving unequal payments during the Payout Period. If payments begin before age 59 ½, you may suffer unfavorable tax consequences, in the form of a penalty tax, if you do not meet an exception under federal tax law. See "Federal Tax Matters" section in this prospectus.

If a payout option selection is not made at least 30 days before the Payout Date, then:

Payments will be made under the life with guaranteed period option;

The payments will be guaranteed for a 10 year period;

18

 

The payments will be based on the allocation used for the Participant's Purchase Payments;

The Fixed Account Options will be used to distribute payments to the Participant on a fixed payout basis; and

The Variable Account Options will be used to distribute payments to the Participant on a variable payout basis.

Under certain retirement plans, federal pension law may require that payments be made under the joint and survivor life payout option.

Most Payout Payments are made monthly. The first Payout Payment must total at least $25, and the annual payment must be at least $100. If the amount of a payment is less than $25, we reserve the right to reduce the frequency of payments so that each payment is at least $25, subject to any limitations under the Contract or plan.

Surrender of Account Value

When Surrenders are Allowed

You may withdraw all or part of your Account Value during the Purchase Period if:

allowed under federal and state law; and

allowed under your employer's plan.

For Purchase Payments that are contributions made under your employer's plan, such as a 401(a) or (k) qualified cash or deferred arrangement or a 403(b) plan, surrenders are subject to the terms of the plan, in accordance with the Code. Qualified plans often require certain conditions to be met before a distribution or withdrawal may take place. See "Surrender Restrictions" section of the prospectus.

For an explanation of charges that may apply if you surrender your Account Value, see "Fees and Charges" in this prospectus. Additionally, you may incur a 10% federal tax penalty for partial or total surrenders made before age 59 ½.

We may be required under applicable law to block a request for a surrender until we receive instructions from the appropriate regulator, due to the USA Patriot Act. In accordance with state law, payments may be deferred up to six months after we receive a request for a full and immediate surrender of the Contract or certificate, including amounts accumulated in the Fixed Account Options, if approved in writing by the insurance commissioner of the state where the individual Contract is issued or where the group contract is issued for the certificate. If payment is deferred, interest will accrue until the payment is made.

VALIC may be required to suspend or postpone the payment of a withdrawal for more than 7 days when: (1) the NYSE is closed (other than a customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) trading with the NYSE is restricted;

(3)an emergency exists such that disposal of or determination of the value of shares of the Variable Account Options is not reasonably practicable; or (4) the

SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of Contract Owners.

Surrender Process

If you are allowed to surrender all or a portion of your Account Value during the Purchase Period as noted above, then you must complete a surrender request form and mail it to our Home Office. We will mail the surrender value to you within seven calendar days after we receive your request if it is in good order. Good order means that all paperwork is complete and signed or approved by all required persons, and any necessary supporting legal documents or plan forms have been received in correct form.

We may be required to suspend or postpone payments if redemption of an underlying Fund's shares have been suspended or postponed. See the VALIC Company I prospectus for a discussion of the reasons why the redemption of shares may be suspended or postponed.

We may receive a surrender request for a Purchase Payment that has not cleared the banking system. We may delay payment of that portion of your surrender value until the check clears. We may defer payment of the surrender value in the Fixed Account Options for up to 6 months. Interest will be paid on such amounts if payment of Fixed Account Option surrender value is deferred for 30 calendar days or more.

Amount that May be Surrendered

The amount that may be surrendered during the Purchase Period can be determined as follows:

Allowed Surrender Value

=(equals)

The Account Value next computed after your properly completed request for surrender is received in our Home Office

-(minus)

Any applicable surrender charge

19

 

There is no guarantee that the surrender value in a Variable Account Option will ever equal or exceed the total amount of your Purchase Payments received by us.

Surrender Restrictions

Generally, Code section 403(b)(11) permits total or partial distributions from your voluntary contributions to a 403(b) contract only on account of hardship (employee contributions only without accrued interest), attainment of age 59 ½, separation from service, death or disability. Similar restrictions apply to any amount transferred to a 403(b) contract from a 403(b)(7) custodial account. In addition, beginning for contracts issued on or after January 1, 2009, employer contributions and non-elective contributions to 403(b) annuity contracts are subject to restrictions specified in Treasury regulations as specifically imposed under the employer's plan.

Under the Texas State Optional Retirement Program, no surrender or partial surrender will be allowed except upon attainment of age 70 ½, retirement or other termination of employment or death.

Under the Florida State Optional Retirement Program, no surrender or partial surrender of Purchase Payments made by the employer will be allowed except upon termination of employment, retirement or death. Benefit payments based on payments from the employer may not be paid in a lump sum or for a period certain, but must be paid under a life contingency option, except for:

death benefits; and

certain small amounts approved by the State of Florida.

Under the Louisiana State Optional Retirement Plan retirement benefits must be paid in the form of a lifetime income, and except for death benefits, single sum surrenders and partial surrenders out of the plan are not permitted unless they are rollovers to another qualified plan or IRA.

Other employer-sponsored plans may also impose restrictions on the timing and form of surrenders from the Contract.

Partial Surrenders

You may request a partial surrender of your Account Value at any time during the Purchase Period, subject to any applicable surrender restrictions. A partial surrender plus any surrender charge will reduce your Account Value. Partial surrenders will be paid from the Fixed Account Options and Variable Account Options.

The reduction in the number of Purchase Units credited to your Variable Account Option Account Value will equal:

The amount surrendered

+(plus)

Any surrender charge

÷(divided by)

Your Purchase Units next computed after the written request for surrender is received at our Home Office.

The surrender value will be reduced by the full quarterly account maintenance charge in the case of a full surrender during a quarter.

Exchange Privileges

From time to time, we may allow you to exchange an older variable annuity issued by VALIC for a newer product with more current features and benefits issued by VALIC. Such an exchange offer will be made in

accordance with applicable state and federal securities and insurance rules and regulations. We will explain the specific terms and conditions of any such exchange offer at the time the offer is made.

Death Benefits

The Contracts will pay death benefits during either the Purchase Period or the Payout Period. The death benefit provisions may vary from state to state.

The Process

VALIC requires that complete and acceptable documentation and paperwork be received from the

beneficiary in order to begin the death benefit payment process. First, Proof of Death is required. Proof of Death is defined as a certified copy of the death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to death, a written statement by an attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to VALIC. Additionally, the Beneficiary must include an election specifying the distribution method and any

20

 

other form required by VALIC or a regulator to process the claim. The account will not be valued and any payments will not be made until all paperwork is complete and in a form acceptable to VALIC. Your Beneficiary may contact us at 1-800-448-2542 with any questions about required documentation and paperwork. Death benefits are paid only once per Contract.

If your Account Value is reduced to zero, you may no longer make subsequent Purchase Payments or transfers, and no death benefit will be paid.

Beneficiary Information

The Beneficiary may receive death benefits:

In a lump sum;

In the form of an annuity under any of the payout options stated in the Payout Period section of this prospectus subject to the restrictions of that payout option; or

In a manner consistent with Code section 401(a)(9) or 72(s).

Payment of any death benefits must be within the time limits set by federal tax law and by the plan, if any.

Spousal Beneficiaries. A spousal Beneficiary may receive death benefits as shown above or, in the case of a qualified Contract, may delay any distributions until the Annuitant would have reached age 72 or roll the funds over to an IRA or certain retirement plans in which the spousal Beneficiary participates. In the case of a nonqualified Contract, spousal Beneficiary may receive death benefits as shown above or may continue the Contract as Contract Owner.

Beneficiaries Other Than Spouses. If the Beneficiary is not the spouse of the Annuitant, death benefits must be paid:

In full within 5 years after the year of the

Annuitant's death; or

By payments beginning within 1 year after the year of the Annuitant's death under:

1.A life annuity;

2.A life annuity with payments guaranteed to be made for at least a specified fixed period; or

3.An annuity or other stream of payments for a designated period not exceeding the Beneficiary's life expectancy.

If the Annuitant dies before the beginning of the Payout Period, the named Beneficiary may receive the payout.

Payments for a designated or fixed period and guarantee periods for a life annuity cannot be for a greater period

of time than the Beneficiary's life expectancy. After choosing a payment option, a Beneficiary may exercise many of the investment options and other rights that the Participant or Contract Owner had under the Contracts.

Special Information for Individual Nonqualified Contracts

It is possible that the Contract Owner and the Annuitant under a nonqualified Contract may not be the same person. If this is the case, and the Contract Owner dies, there will be no death benefit payable since the death benefit is only due in the event of the Annuitant's death. However, the Contract will be transferred to the contingent owner, if any, or to the Beneficiary if there is no contingent owner or to the Contract Owner's estate, if there is no Beneficiary. Such transfers may be considered a taxable event by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). In general, payments received by your Beneficiaries after your death are taxed in the same manner as if you had received the payments. See "Federal Tax Matters" section in this prospectus.

During the Purchase Period

If death occurs during the Purchase Period, the death benefit will be the greater of:

The Account Value on the date all paperwork is complete and in a form acceptable to VALIC; or

100% of Purchase Payments (to the Fixed and/ or the Variable Account Options)

-(minus)

The amount of all prior withdrawals and any portion of Account Value applied under a payout option

As indicated above, a Participant may elect to annuitize only a certain portion and leave the remaining value in the account. The death benefit in such situations would include the value of the amount remaining in the account minus the amount applied to Payout Payments. Depending on the payout option selected, there may also be a death benefit from the annuitized portion of the account.

During the Payout Period

If death occurs during the Payout Period, the Beneficiary may receive a death benefit depending on the payout option selected. The amount of death benefit will also depend on the payout option selected. The payout options available are described in the "Payout Period" section of this prospectus.

If the life only option or joint and survivor life option was chosen, there will be no death benefit.

21

 

If the life with guaranteed period option, joint and survivor life with guaranteed periods option, life with cash or unit refund option or payment for a designated period option was chosen, and the entire amount guaranteed has not been paid, the Beneficiary may choose one of the following within 60 days after death benefits are payable:

1.Receive the present value of any remaining payments in a lump sum;

2.Receive the remaining payments under the same terms of the guaranteed period option

chosen by the deceased Annuitant and be entitled to elect anytime thereafter to receive the present value of any remaining payments in a lump sum; or

3.Receive the present value of any remaining payments applied under the payment for a designated period option for a period equal to or shorter than the period remaining. Spousal Beneficiaries may be entitled to more favorable treatment under federal tax law.

Other Contract Features

Changes that may not be Made

The following terms in the Contracts may not be changed once your account has been established:

The Contract Owner (except for an individual nonqualified Contract);

The Participant; and

The Annuitant.

Change of Beneficiary

The Beneficiary (if not irrevocable) may usually be changed at any time. Under some retirement programs, the right to name a Beneficiary other than the spouse or change a Beneficiary is subject to approval by the spouse. Also, the right to name a Beneficiary other than the spouse may be subject to certain laws and regulations applicable to the plan.

If the Annuitant dies, and there is no Beneficiary, any death benefit will be payable to the Annuitant's estate, except in the case of a nonqualified Contract where the Contract Owner and Annuitant are different, in which case the death benefit is paid to the Contract Owner, or the Contract Owner's estate.

If a Beneficiary dies while receiving payments, and there is no co-Beneficiary to continue to receive payments, any amount still due will be paid to the Beneficiary's estate.

The Contract Owner may name a contingent owner under an individual nonqualified Contract. During the Purchase Period, the contingent owner may be changed.

Cancellation – The "Free Look" Period

The Contract Owner of a group Contract (employer) or individual Contract Owner may cancel a Contract by returning it to the Company within 10 days after it is received. (A longer period will be allowed if required under state law.) The free look does not apply to

Participant certificates except in a limited number of states. We will allocate Purchase Payments as instructed during the "free look" period. To cancel the Contract, the Contract Owner must send a written request for cancellation and return the Contract to us at our Home Office before the end of the "Free Look" period. A refund will be made to the Contract Owner within seven days after receipt of the Contract within the required period. The amount of the refund will be equal to all Purchase Payments received or, if more, the amount required under state law. The Contract will be void once we issue a refund.

We Reserve Certain Rights

We may amend the Contracts to comply with changes in federal tax, securities, or other laws. We may also make changes to the Variable Account Options offered under the Contracts. For example, we may add new Variable Account Options to expand the offerings for an asset class. We may stop accepting allocations and/or investments in a particular Variable Account Option if the shares of the underlying Fund are no longer available for investment or if, for example, further investment would be inappropriate. We may move assets and re- direct future premium allocations from one Variable Account Option to another in accordance with federal and state law and, in some cases, with SEC approval. The new Variable Account Option offered may have different Fund fees and expenses.

We will not make any changes to the Contracts without Contract Owner and Participant permission except as may be allowed by federal or state law. We may add endorsements to the Contracts that would apply only to new Contract Owners and Participants after the effective date of the changes. These changes would be subject to approval by the Company and may be subject to approval by the SEC.

We reserve the right to operate VALIC Separate Account A as a management investment company under the

22

 

applicable securities laws, and to deregister VALIC Separate Account A under applicable securities laws, if registration is no longer required.

Relationship to Employer's Plan

If the Contract is being offered under a retirement plan through your employer, you should always refer to the terms and conditions in your employer's plan when reviewing the description of the Contracts in this prospectus.

Plan loans from the Fixed Account Options may be allowed by your employer's plan. Refer to your plan for a description of charges and other information concerning plan loans. We reserve the right to charge a fee of up to $60 per loan, if permitted by state law, and to limit the number of outstanding loans.

Voting Rights

As discussed in the "About VALIC Separate Account A" section of this prospectus, VALIC Separate Account A holds, on your behalf, shares of the Mutual Funds that comprise the Variable Account Options. From time to time, the Funds may be required to hold a shareholder meeting to obtain approval from their shareholders for certain matters.

Who May Give Voting Instructions

During the Purchase Period, subject to any contrary provision in the plan, the Contract Owner, Participant, or Beneficiary will have the right to give voting instructions to VALIC Separate Account A for the shareholder meetings, except as noted below. Proxy material and a form on which voting instructions may be given before the shareholder meeting is held will be mailed in advance of any shareholder meeting. Please vote each card received.

Participants in a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan will not have the right to give voting instructions.

Determination of Fund Shares Attributable to Your Account

During the Purchase Period. The number of Fund shares attributable to your account will be determined on the basis of the Purchase Units credited to your account on the record date set for the Fund shareholder meeting.

During the Payout Period or After a Death Benefit has been Paid. The number of Fund shares attributable to your account will be based on the liability for future variable annuity payments to your payees on the record date set for the Fund shareholder meeting.

How Fund Shares are Voted

VALIC Separate Account A will vote all of the shares of the Funds it holds based on, and in the same proportion as, the instructions given by all Participants invested in that Fund entitled to give instructions at that shareholder meeting. VALIC Separate Account A will vote the shares of the Funds it holds for which it receives no voting instruction in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions have been received. One effect of proportional voting is that a small number of Contract Owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

In the future, we may decide how to vote the shares of VALIC Separate Account A in a different manner if permitted at that time under federal securities law.

Federal Tax Matters

The Contracts provide tax-deferred accumulation over time, but may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes, mentioned below. Refer to the SAI for further details. Section references are to the Code. We do not attempt to describe any potential estate or gift tax, or any applicable state, local or foreign tax law other than possible premium taxes mentioned under "Premium Tax Charge." Discussions regarding the tax treatment of any annuity contract or retirement plans and programs are intended for general purposes only and are not intended as tax advice, either general or individualized, nor should they be interpreted to provide any predictions or

guarantees of a particular tax treatment. Such discussions generally are based upon the Company's understanding of current tax rules and interpretations, and may include areas of those rules that are more or less clear or certain. Tax laws are subject to legislative modification, and while many such modifications will have only a prospective application, it is important to recognize that a change could have retroactive effect as well. You should seek competent tax or legal advice, as you deem necessary or appropriate, regarding your own circumstances.

23

 

Types of Plans

Tax rules vary, depending on whether the Contract is offered under your employer's tax-qualified retirement program, an individual retirement plan, or is instead a nonqualified Contract. The Contracts are used under the following types of retirement arrangements:

Section 403(b) annuities for employees of public schools and section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations;

Section 401(a), 403(a) and 401(k) qualified plans (including plans for self-employed individuals);

Section 408(b) traditional IRAs;

Section 408A Roth IRAs;

Section 457 deferred compensation plans of governmental and tax-exempt employers;

Section 408(k) SEPs and SARSEPs; and

Section 408(p) SIMPLE retirement accounts.

Contributions under any of these retirement arrangements generally must be made to a qualifying annuity Contract or to a qualifying trust or custodial account, in order for the contributions to receive favorable tax treatment as pre-tax contributions. Contracts purchased under these retirement arrangements are "Qualified Contracts."

Note that the specific terms of the governing employer plan may limit rights and options otherwise available under a Contract. In addition, changes in the applicable laws or regulations may impose additional limitations or may require changes to the contract to maintain its status as a Qualified Contract.

Tax Consequences in General

Purchase Payments, distributions, withdrawals, transfers and surrender of a Contract can each have a tax effect, which varies with the governing retirement arrangement. Please refer to the detailed explanation in the SAI, the documents (if any) controlling the retirement arrangement through which the Contract is offered, and your personal tax advisor.

Purchase Payments under the Contracts can be made as contributions by employers or as pre-tax or after-tax contributions by employees, depending on the type of retirement program. Purchase Payments also can be made outside of an employer-sponsored retirement program. After-tax Purchase Payments, including after-tax employee contributions, generally constitute "investment in the Contract." All Qualified Contracts receive deferral of tax on the inside build-up of earnings on invested Purchase Payments, until a distribution occurs. See the SAI for a discussion of the taxation of distributions, including upon death, and special rules, including those

applicable to non-natural owners of nonqualified Contracts.

Transfers among investment options within a variable annuity Contract generally are not taxed at the time of such a transfer. However, in 1986, the IRS indicated that limitations might be imposed with respect to either the number of investment options available within a Contract, or the frequency of transfers between investment options, or both, in order for the Contract to be treated as an annuity Contract for federal income tax purposes. If imposed, VALIC can provide no assurance that such limitations would not be imposed on a retroactive basis to Contracts issued under this prospectus. However, VALIC has no present indications that the IRS intends to impose such limitations, or what the terms or scope of those limitations might be. In addition, based upon published guidance issued by the IRS in 1999, it appears likely that such limitations, if imposed, would only apply to nonqualified Contracts.

Distributions are taxed differently depending on the program through which the Contracts are offered and the previous tax characterization of the contributions to which the distribution relates. Generally, the portion of a distribution that is not considered a return of investment in the Contract is subject to income tax. For annuity payments, investment in the Contract is recovered ratably over the expected payout period. Special recovery rules might apply in certain situations. Non-periodic payments such as partial withdrawals and full surrenders during the Purchase Period are referred to as "amounts not received as an annuity" in the Code. These types of payments are generally taxed to the extent of any gain existing in the Contract at the time of withdrawal.

Amounts subject to income tax may also incur excise or penalty taxes, under certain circumstances. Generally, as more fully discussed in the SAI, taxable distributions received before you attain age 59 ½ are subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to regular income tax, unless you make a rollover, in the case of a Qualified Contract, to another tax-deferred investment vehicle or meet certain exceptions. Note that a distribution from a 457(b) plan is not subject to the 10% tax penalty. And, if you have to report the distribution as ordinary income, you may need to make an estimated tax payment by the due date for the quarter in which you received the distribution, depending on the amount of federal tax withheld from the distribution. When calculating your tax liability to determine whether you need to make an estimated tax payment, your total tax for the year should also include the amount of the 10% additional tax on early distributions unless an exception applies. Amounts eligible for grandfathered status afforded to pre-1982 accounts might be exempt from the 10% early withdrawal penalty. Please consult with your tax advisor concerning these exceptions, tax reporting, and the tax-related effects

24

 

of an early distribution. Required tax withholding will vary according to the type of program, type of payment and your tax status. In addition, amounts received under all Contracts may be subject to state income tax withholding requirements.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 created other distribution events and exemptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty tax. These include payments to certain reservists called up for active duty after September 11, 2001 and payments up to $3,000 per year made directly to an insurer for health, life and accident insurance by certain retired public safety officers. The Disaster Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017 and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 provided relief from the 10% early withdrawal penalty tax for qualified disaster distributions from retirement funds.

On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act ("Reconciliation Act") was signed into law. Among other provisions, the Reconciliation Act imposes a new tax on net investment income, which went into effect in 2013, is at the rate of 3.8% of investment income in excess of applicable thresholds for Modified Adjusted Gross Income ($250,000 for joint filers; $125,000 for married individuals filing separately; and, $200,000 for individual filers). An individual with MAGI in excess of the threshold will be required to pay this new tax on net investment income in excess of the applicable MAGI threshold. For this purpose, net investment income generally will include taxable withdrawals from a Non- Qualified contract, as well as other taxable amounts including amounts taxed annually to an owner that is not a natural person (see final paragraph in this section). This new tax generally does not apply to Qualified Contracts; however, taxable distributions from such contracts may be taken into account in determining the applicability of the MAGI thresholds.

On December 20, 2019 the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act was signed into law as part of larger appropriations legislation. The SECURE Act includes many provisions affecting Qualified Contracts, some of which became effective upon enactment or on January 1, 2020, and certain provisions were retroactively effective. Some of the provisions effective January 1 include: an increase in the age at which required minimum distributions (RMDs) generally must commence, to age 72, from the previous age of 70 ½; new limitations on the period for beneficiary distributions following the death of the plan participant or IRA owner; elimination of the age 70 ½ restriction on IRA contributions (combined with an offset to the amount of eligible qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) by the amount of post-70 ½ IRA contributions); a new exception to the 10% additional tax on early distributions, for the birth or adoption of a child, which

also became an allowable plan distribution event; and, reduction of the earliest permissible age for in-service distributions from pension plans and certain Section 457 plans to 59 ½. The foregoing is not an exhaustive

list. The SECURE Act included many additional provisions affecting Qualified Contracts.

 

In 2019 the IRS issued multiple letter rulings to individual insurance companies recognizing the ability, in specific circumstances, to treat the payment of investment advisory fees to an investment advisor out of nonqualified contracts as non-taxable withdrawals from the contracts. IRS letter rulings generally may only be relied upon by the party to whom they are issued.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, provides greater access to assets held in tax- qualified retirement plans and IRAs. The relief provided in the Act:

Expands distribution and loan (including loan repayment) rules for certain retirement accounts in employer plans and IRAs, for qualifying distributions;

Waives the 10% additional tax on the qualifying distributions, if they are considered early distributions (generally, distributions prior to age 59 ½); and

Provides a temporary waiver of required minimum distributions from qualifying

retirement plans and IRAs due to be paid in 2020.

Some provisions in the Act are subject to the terms of an employer's retirement plan.

It is the understanding of VALIC confirmed by IRS Revenue Procedure 99-44, that a Qualified Contract described in section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408(b) or 408A of the Code does not lose its deferred tax treatment if Purchase Payments under the Contract are invested in publicly available Mutual Funds.

It is also the understanding of VALIC that for each other type of Qualified Contract an independent exemption provides tax deferral regardless of how ownership of the Mutual Fund shares might be imputed for federal income tax purposes.

Investment earnings on contributions to nonqualified Contracts that are owned by non-natural persons (except for trusts or other entities as agent for a natural person) will be taxed currently to the Contract Owner and such Contracts will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes.

Important Information Regarding 403(b) Regulations. On July 26, 2007, the Department of the Treasury published final 403(b) regulations that became largely effective on January 1, 2009. These comprehensive

25

 

regulations include several rules and requirements, such as a requirement that employers maintain their 403(b) plans pursuant to a written plan. The final regulations, subsequent IRS guidance, and the terms of the written plan may impose restrictions on both new and existing contracts, including restrictions on the availability of loans, distributions, transfers and exchanges, regardless of when a contract was purchased.

In general, certain contracts originally established by a

90-24 transfer prior to September 25, 2007 are exempt (or grandfathered) from some of the requirements of the final regulations; provided that no salary reduction or other contributions have ever been made to the contract, and that no additional transfers are made to made to the contract on or after September 25, 2007. Further, contracts that are not grandfathered were generally required to be part of, and subject to the requirements of an employer's 403(b) plan upon its establishment, but no later than by January 1, 2009.

The rules in the final regulations generally do not affect a participant's ability to transfer some or all of a 403(b) account to a state-defined benefit plan to purchase service credits, where such a transfer is otherwise consistent with applicable rules and requirements and with the terms of the employer's plan.

As a general matter, many Contracts that have received plan contributions after 2004, and all Contracts that have received plan contributions after 2008, are required to be included in the plan and in the plan's administrative coordination, even if the investment provider and the Contract are no longer permitted to receive new contributions and/or transfers. However, IRS guidance generally permits a plan sponsor to exclude a Contract where the plan sponsor has otherwise made a good faith effort to include the Contract issued by a provider that ceased to receive contributions prior to January 1, 2009, as well as such Contracts maintained by certain former employees. You should be aware, however, that some rules governing contracts inside and outside of the plan after 2008 are subject to different interpretations, as well as possible additional IRS guidance. In addition, a Contract maintained under a plan subject to the requirements of Title I of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") may be required to be included in the plan regardless of whether it remains eligible to receive contributions after a specified date. The foregoing discussion is intended as a general discussion of the requirements only, and you may wish to discuss the requirements of the regulations and/or the general information above with your tax advisor.

Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Separate Account. Various federal, state or other regulatory agencies may from time to time review, examine or inquire into the operations, practices and procedures of the Company, such as through financial examinations, subpoenas, investigations, market conduct exams or other regulatory inquiries. Based on the current status of pending regulatory examinations, investigations and inquiries involving the Company, the Company believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the principal underwriter

to perform its contract with the Registrant or of the depositor to meet its obligations under the variable annuity contracts.

Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the ordinary course of business. As of April 24, 2020, the Company believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the principal underwriter to perform its contract with the Registrant or of the depositor to meet its obligations under the variable annuity contracts.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Flexible payment Contracts are offered in connection with the prospectus to which this SAI relates. Under flexible payment deferred annuity Contracts, Purchase Payments generally are made until retirement age is reached. However, no Purchase Payments are required to be made after the first payment. Purchase Payments are subject to any minimum payment requirements under the Contract. The Contracts are non-participating and will not share in any of the profits of the Company.

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

Note: Discussions regarding the tax treatment of any annuity contract or retirement plan and program are intended for general purposes only and are not intended as tax advice, either general or individualized, nor should they be interpreted to provide any predictions or guarantees of a particular tax treatment. Such discussions generally are based upon the Company's understanding of current tax rules and interpretations, and may include areas of those rules that are more or less clear or certain. Tax laws are subject to legislative modification, and while many such modifications will have only a prospective application, it is important to recognize that a change could have retroactive effect as well. You should seek competent tax or legal advice, as you deem necessary or appropriate, regarding your own circumstances. We do not guarantee the tax status or treatment of your annuity.

This section summarizes the major tax consequences of contributions, payments, and withdrawals under the Contracts, during life and after death.

It is VALIC's understanding, confirmed by Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Revenue Procedure 99-44, that a Qualified Contract described in section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408(b) or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code" or "IRC") does not lose its deferred tax treatment if Purchase Payments under the contract are invested in publicly available mutual funds.

It is also the understanding of VALIC that for each other type of Qualified Contract an independent exemption provides tax deferral regardless of how ownership of the Mutual Fund shares might be imputed for federal income tax purposes.

For nonqualified Contracts, not all Variable Account Options are available within your contract. Variable Account Options that are invested in Mutual Funds available to the general public outside of annuity contracts or life insurance contracts generally are not offered under nonqualified Contracts. Investment earnings on contributions to nonqualified Contracts that are owned by non-natural persons will be taxed currently to the owner, and such contracts will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes (except for trusts or other entities as agents for an individual).

Tax Consequences of Purchase Payments

403(b) Annuities. Purchase Payments made by section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations and public educational institutions toward Contracts for their employees are excludable from the gross income of employees, to the extent aggregate Purchase Payments do not exceed several competing tax law limitations on contributions. This gross income exclusion applies both to employer contributions and to your voluntary and nonelective salary reduction contributions. The exclusion does not apply to Roth 403(b) contributions, which are made on an after-tax basis; however, the contribution limits apply to such contributions. Roth 403(b) contributions will be referred to as elective deferrals, along with voluntary salary reduction contributions.

For 2020, your elective deferrals are generally limited to $19,500. If available under the terms of your employer- sponsored plan, individuals with 15 or more years of service with certain qualifying employers may be eligible to contribute up to  an additional  $3,000 in deferrals, subject to certain limitations based upon prior such contributions and contributions generally. In addition age-based "catch-up" contributions of up to $6,500 are permitted for individuals  who will  be age 50 by  the  end of the  2020 calendar year. When applicable, the additional contribution for individuals with 15 or more years of service with the employer, and the age-based catch-up, may be used in the same  year.  However, the 15 year  contribution  must  be  applied first. Combined  employer  contributions, nonelective

2

 

employee contributions and elective deferrals are generally limited to $57,000, or up to 100% of "includible compensation" as defined in the Code for 403(b) plans. The 15 year contributions and age-based catch-up contributions generally are in addition to these limitations. In addition, after 1988, employer contributions for highly compensated employees may be further limited by applicable nondiscrimination rules.

401(a)/(k) and 403(a) Qualified Plans. Purchase Payments made by an employer (or a self-employed individual) under a qualified pension, profit-sharing or annuity plan are excluded from the gross income of the employee. Purchase Payments made by an employee may be made on a pre-tax or an after-tax basis, depending on several factors, including whether the employer is eligible to establish a 401(k) or 414(h) contribution option, and whether the employer, if eligible to establish a 401(k) option, has established a Roth 401(k) option under the Plan.

408(b) Individual Retirement Annuities ("408(b) IRAs" or "Traditional IRAs"). For 2019, annual tax-deductible contributions for 408(b) IRA Contracts are limited to the lesser $6,000 or 100% of compensation ($7,000 if you are age 50 or older), and are generally fully deductible in 2020 only by individuals who:

(i)are not active Participants in another retirement plan, and are not married;

(ii)are not active Participants in another retirement plan, are married, and either (a) the spouse is not an active Participant in another retirement plan, or (b) the spouse is an active Participant, but the couple's adjusted gross income is less than $196,000;

(iii)are active Participants in another retirement plan, are unmarried, and have adjusted gross income of less than $65,000; or

(iv)are active Participants in another retirement plan, are married, and have adjusted gross income of less than $104,000.

Active Participants in other retirement plans whose adjusted gross income exceeds the limits in (ii), (iii) or (iv) by less than $10,000 are entitled to make deductible 408(b) IRA contributions in proportionately reduced amounts. If a 408(b) IRA is established for a non-working spouse who has no compensation, the annual tax-deductible Purchase Payments for both spouses' Contracts cannot exceed the lesser of $12,000 or 100% of the working spouse's earned income, and no more than $6,000 may be contributed to either spouse's IRA for any year. The $12,000 limit increases to $14,000 if both spouses are age 50 or older ($1,000 for each spouse age 50 or older).

You may be eligible to make nondeductible IRA contributions of an amount equal to the lesser of:

(i)$6,000 ($7,000 if you are age 50 or older; $12,000 for you and your spouse's IRAs, or $14,000 if you are both age 50 or older) or 100% of compensation; or

(ii)your applicable IRA deduction limit.

You may also make contributions of eligible rollover amounts from other tax-qualified plans and contracts. See Tax-Free Rollovers, Transfers and Exchanges.

408A Roth Individual Retirement Annuities ("408A Roth IRAs" or "Roth IRAs"). For 2020, annual nondeductible contributions for 408A Roth IRA Contracts are limited to the lesser of $6,000 or 100% of compensation ($7,000 if you are age 50 or older), and a full contribution may be made only by individuals who:

(i)are unmarried and have adjusted gross income of less than $124,000; or

(ii)are married and filing jointly, and have adjusted gross income of less than $196,000.

The available nondeductible 408A Roth IRA contribution  is reduced proportionately  to zero where modified AGI is between $196,000 and $206,000 for those who are married filing joint returns. No contribution may be made for those  with  modified AGI  over $206,000. Similarly, the  contribution is reduced for those who are single with modified  AGI  between  $124,000  and $139,000, with  no  contribution  for singles with modified AGI over $139,000.

3

 

Similarly, individuals who are married and filing separate returns and whose modified AGI is over $10,000 may not make a contribution to a Roth IRA; a portion may be contributed for modified AGI between $0 and $10,000.

All contributions to 408(b) traditional IRAs and 408A Roth IRAs must be aggregated for purposes of the annual contribution limit.

457 Plans. A unit of a state or local government may establish a deferred compensation program for individuals who perform services for the government unit if permitted by applicable state (and/or local) laws. In addition, a non- governmental tax-exempt employer may establish a deferred compensation program for individuals who: (i) perform services for the employer, and (ii) belong to either a select group of management or highly compensated employees and/or are independent contractors.

This type of program allows eligible individuals to defer the receipt of compensation (and taxes thereon) otherwise presently payable to them. For 2020, if the program is an eligible deferred compensation plan (an "EDCP"), you and your employer may contribute (and defer tax on) the lesser of $19,500 or 100% of your "includible" compensation (compensation from the employer currently includible in taxable income). Additionally, catch-up deferrals are permitted in the final three years before the year you reach normal retirement age under the plan and for governmental plans only, age-based catch-up deferrals up to $6,500 are also permitted for individuals age 50 or older. Generally, however, a participant cannot utilize both the catch-up in the three years before normal retirement age, and the age 50 catch-up, in the same year.

The employer uses deferred amounts to purchase the Contracts offered by this prospectus. For plans maintained by a unit of a state or local government, the Contract is generally held for the exclusive benefit of plan Participants, (although certain Contracts remained subject to the claims of the employer's general creditors until 1999). For plans of non-governmental tax-exempt employers, the employee has no present ownership rights in the Contract and is entitled to payment only in accordance with the EDCP provisions and, where applicable, any trust under which the Contract may be held.

Simplified Employee Pension Plan ("SEP"). Employer contributions under a SEP are made to a separate individual retirement account or annuity established for each participating employee, and generally must be made at a rate representing a uniform percent of participating employees' compensation. Employer contributions are excludable from employees' taxable income. For 2020, the employer may contribute up to 25% of your eligible compensation or $57,000, whichever is less.

Through 1996, employees of certain small employers (other than tax-exempt organizations) were permitted to establish plans allowing employees to contribute pretax, on a salary reduction basis, to the SEP. Such plans if established by December 31, 1996, may still allow employees to make these contributions. In 2019, the limit is $19,500. Additionally, you may be able to make higher contributions if you are age 50 or older, subject to certain conditions.

SIMPLE IRA. Employer and employee contributions under a SIMPLE IRA Plan are made to a separate individual retirement account or annuity for each employee. For 2020, employee salary reduction contributions cannot exceed $13,500. You may be able to make higher contributions if you are age 50 or older, subject to certain conditions. Employer contributions must be in the form of matching contribution or a nonelective contribution of a percentage of compensation as specified in the Code. Only employers with 100 or fewer employees can maintain a SIMPLE IRA plan, which must also be the only plan the employer maintains.

Nonqualified Contracts. Purchase Payments made under nonqualified Contracts, whether under an employer- sponsored plan or arrangement or independent of any such plan or arrangement, are neither excludible from the gross income of the Contract Owner nor deductible for tax purposes. However, any increase in the Purchase Unit value of a nonqualified Contract resulting from the investment performance of VALIC Separate Account A is not taxable to the Contract Owner until received by him. Contract Owners that are not natural persons (except for trusts or other entities as agent for an individual), however, are currently taxable on any increase in the Purchase Unit value attributable to Purchase Payments made after February 28, 1986 to such Contracts.

4

 

Unfunded Deferred Compensation Plans. Private for-profit employers may establish unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plans for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and/or for independent contractors. Certain arrangements of nonprofit employers entered into prior to August 16, 1986, and not subsequently modified, are also subject to the rules discussed below.

An unfunded deferred compensation plan is a bare contractual promise on the part of the employer to defer current wages to some future time. The assets invested in the Contract are owned by the employer and remains subject to the claims of the employer's general creditors. Private for-profit employers that are not natural persons are currently taxable on any increase in the Purchase Unit value attributable to Purchase Payments made on or after February 28, 1986 to such Contracts. Participants have no present right or vested interest in the Contract and are only entitled to payment in accordance with plan provisions.

Tax Consequences of Distributions

403(b) Annuities. Elective deferrals (including salary reduction amounts and Roth 403(b) contributions) accumulated after December 31, 1988, and earnings on such contributions, may not be distributed before one of the following:

(1)attainment of age 59 ½;

(2)severance from employment;

(3)death;

(4)disability;

(5)qualifying hardship (hardship distributions are limited to salary reduction contributions only, exclusive of earnings thereon);

(6)termination of the plan (if the plan sponsor meets the criteria of IRS guidance to terminate the plan); or

(7)birth or adoption of a child (subject to limitations).

Similar restrictions will apply to all amounts transferred from a Code section 403(b)(7) custodial account other than certain rollover contributions, except that pre-1989 earnings included in such amounts generally will be eligible for a hardship distribution.

A plan under which a 403(b) annuity is held may impose additional restrictions.

As a general rule, distributions are taxed as ordinary income to the recipient in accordance with Code section 72. However, three important exceptions to this general rule are:

(1)distributions of Roth 403(b) contributions;

(2)qualified distributions of earnings on Roth 403(b) contributions; and

(3)other after-tax amounts in the Contract.

Distributions of Roth 403(b) contributions are tax-free. "Qualified" distributions of earnings on Roth 403(b) contributions made upon attainment of age 59 ½, upon death or disability are tax-free as long as five or more years have passed since the first contribution to the Roth account or any Roth account under the employer's Plan. Distribution of earnings that are non-qualified are taxed in the same manner as pre-tax contributions and earnings under the Plan. Distributions of other after-tax amounts in the Contract are tax-free.

5

 

401(a)/(k) and 403(a) Qualified Plans. Distributions from Contracts purchased under qualified plans are taxable as ordinary income, except to the extent allocable to an employee's after-tax contributions (investment in the Contract). If you or your Beneficiary receive a "lump sum distribution" (legally defined term), the taxable portion may be eligible for special 10-year income averaging treatment. Ten-year income averaging uses tax rates in effect for 1986, allows 20% capital gains treatment for the taxable portion of a lump sum distribution attributable to years of service before 1974, and is available if you were 50 or older on January 1, 1986. The distribution restrictions for 401(k) elective deferrals in Qualified Plans are generally the same as described for elective deferrals to 403(b) annuities except that for plan years beginning after December 31, 2018, earnings on elective deferrals may be included in qualified hardship distributions from 401(k) plans. The tax consequences of distributions from Qualified Plans are generally the same as described above for 403(b) annuities.

408(b) Traditional IRAs, SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs. Distributions are generally taxed as ordinary income to the recipient. Rollovers from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, and conversions of a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, where permitted, are generally taxable in the year of the rollover or conversion. The taxable value of such a conversion may take into account the value of certain benefits under the Contract. Prior to 2010, individuals with adjusted gross income over $100,000 were generally ineligible for such conversions, regardless of marital status, as were married individuals who file separately. Beginning in 2010, such conversions are available without regard to income.

408A Roth IRAs. "Qualified" distributions upon attainment of age 59 ½, upon death or disability or for qualifying first-time homebuyer expenses are tax-free as long as five or more years have passed since the first contribution to the taxpayer's first 408A Roth IRA. Qualified distributions may be subject to state income tax in some states. Nonqualified distributions are generally taxable to the extent that the distribution exceeds Purchase Payments.

457 Plans. Amounts received from an EDCP are includible in gross income for the taxable year in which they are paid or, if a non-governmental tax-exempt employer, otherwise made available to the recipient.

Unfunded Deferred Compensation Plans. Amounts received are includible in gross income for the taxable year in which the amounts are paid or otherwise made available to the recipient.

Nonqualified Contracts. Partial redemptions from a nonqualified Contract purchased after August 13, 1982 (or allocated to post-August 13, 1982 Purchase Payments under a pre-existing Contract), generally are taxed as ordinary income to the extent of the accumulated income or gain under the Contract if they are not received as an annuity. Partial redemptions from a nonqualified Contract purchased before August 14, 1982 are taxed only after the Contract Owner has received all of his pre-August 14, 1982 investment in the Contract. The amount received in a complete redemption of a nonqualified Contract (regardless of the date of purchase) will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent that it exceeds the Contract Owner's investment in the Contract. Two or more Contracts purchased from VALIC (or an affiliated company) by a Contract Owner within the same calendar year, after October 21, 1988, are treated as a single Contract for purposes of measuring the income on a partial redemption or complete surrender.

When payments are received as an annuity, the Contract Owner's investment in the Contract is treated as received ratably and excluded ratably from gross income as a tax-free return of capital, over the expected payment period of the annuity. Individuals who begin receiving annuity payments on or after January 1, 1987 can exclude from income only their unrecovered investment in the Contract. Upon death prior to recovering tax-free their entire investment in the Contract, individuals generally are entitled to deduct the unrecovered amount on their final tax return.

Special Tax Consequences — Early Distribution

403(b) Annuities, 401(a)/(k) and 403(a) Qualified Plans, 408(b) Traditional IRAs, SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs. The taxable portion of distributions received before the recipient attains age 59 ½ generally are subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to regular income tax. Distributions on account of the following generally are excepted from this penalty tax:

6

 

(1)death;

(2)disability;

(3)separation from service after a Participant reaches age 55 (age 50 for public safety employees of a governmental plan) (only applies to 403(b), 401(a)/(k) and 403(a) plans);

(4)separation from service at any age if the distribution is in the form of substantially equal periodic payments over the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant (or the Participant and Beneficiary) for a period that lasts the later of five years or until the Participant attains age 59 ½ ;

(5)distributions that do not exceed the employee's tax-deductible medical expenses for the taxable year of receipt;

(6)distributions to an alternate payee pursuant to a domestic relations order;

(7)qualifying disaster distributions; and

(8)qualifying distributions upon the birth or adoption of a child.

Separation from service is not required for distributions from a Traditional IRA, SEP or SIMPLE IRA under (4) above. Certain distributions from a SIMPLE IRA within two years after first participating in the Plan may be subject to a 25% penalty, rather than a 10% penalty.

Currently, distributions from 408(b) IRAs on account of the following additional reasons are also excepted from the 10% penalty tax:

(1)distributions up to $10,000 (in the aggregate) to cover costs of acquiring, constructing or reconstructing the residence of a first-time homebuyer;

(2)distributions to cover certain costs of higher education: tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment for the IRA owner, a spouse, child or grandchild; and

(3)distributions to cover certain medical care or long-term care insurance premiums, for individuals who have received federal or state unemployment compensation for 12 consecutive weeks.

408A Roth IRAs. Distributions, other than "qualified" distributions where the five-year holding rule is met, are generally subject to the same 10% penalty tax on amounts included in income as other IRAs. Distributions of rollover or conversion contributions may be subject to a 10% penalty tax if the distribution of those contributions is made within five years of the rollover/conversion.

457 Plans. Distributions generally may be made under an EDCP prior to severance from employment only upon attainment of age 59 ½ , for unforeseeable emergencies or for amounts under $5,000 for inactive Participants, and are includible in the recipient's gross income in the year paid. Such distributions are not subject to the 10% early

withdrawal penalty tax. The plan may impose additional restrictions on distributions.

Nonqualified Contracts. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable portion of a distribution received before age 59

½under a nonqualified Contract, unless the distribution is:

(1)to a Beneficiary on or after the Contract Owner's death;

(2)upon the Contract Owner's disability;

(3)part of a series of substantially equal annuity payments for the life or life expectancy of the Contract Owner, or the lives or joint life expectancy of the Contract Owner and Beneficiary for a period lasting the later of 5 years or until the Contract Owner attains age 59 ½;

(4)made under an immediate annuity contract; or

(5)allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982.

7

 

Special Tax Consequences — Required Distributions

403(b) Annuities. Generally, minimum required distributions are required from both pre-tax and Roth amounts accumulated under the Contract and must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 ½ (or age 72, for individuals born on or after July 1, 1949), or the calendar year in which the Participant retires. Required distributions must be made over a period no longer than the period determined under The IRS' Uniform Life Expectancy Table reflecting the joint life expectancy of the Participant and a Beneficiary not more than 10 years younger than the Participant, or if the Participant's spouse is the sole Beneficiary and is more than 10 years younger than the Participant, their joint life expectancy. A penalty tax of 50% is imposed on the amount by which the minimum required distribution in any year exceeds the amount actually distributed in that year.

Amounts accumulated under a Contract on December 31, 1986 may be paid in a manner that meets the above rule or, alternatively:

(i)must begin to be paid when the Participant attains age 75 or retires, whichever is later; and

(ii)the present value of payments expected to be made over the life of the Participant, (under the option chosen) must exceed 50% of the present value of all payments expected to be made (the "50% rule").

The 50% rule will not apply if a Participant's spouse is the joint Annuitant. Notwithstanding these pre-January 1, 1987 rules, the entire contract balance must meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of section 403(b)(10).

At the Participant's death before payout has begun, Contract amounts generally either must be paid to the Beneficiary within 5 years or must begin by December 31st of the year following the year of death and be paid over the single life expectancy of the Beneficiary. If death occurs after commencement of (but before full) payout, distributions generally must be made over a period that does not exceed the longer of the Participant's or the designated Beneficiary's life expectancy. Exceptions to this rule may apply in the case of a beneficiary who is also the participant's spouse.

Beginning January 1, 2022 for certain governmental and collectively bargained retirement plans, and January 1,

2020 for all others: the maximum period for payments to a beneficiary who is not:

the surviving spouse of the plan participant or IRA owner;

a minor child of such plan participant or IRA owner;

a qualifying special needs beneficiary; or,

not more than ten years younger than such plan participant or IRA owner;

generally will be limited to a maximum ten year distribution period following the death of the plan participant or IRA owner. Additional rules, requirements and exceptions may apply. Individuals should consult their personal tax advisor.

A Participant generally may aggregate his or her 403(b) Contracts and accounts for purposes of satisfying these requirements and withdraw the required distribution in any combination from such Contracts or accounts, unless the plan, Contract, or account otherwise provides.

401(a)/(k) and 403(a) Qualified Plans. Minimum distribution requirements for qualified plans are generally the same as described for 403(b) Annuities, except that there is no exception for pre-1987 amounts and multiple plans may not be aggregated to satisfy the requirement.

408(b) Traditional IRAs, SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs. Minimum distribution requirements are generally the same as described above for 403(b) Annuities, except that:

8

 

(1)there is no exception for pre-1987 amounts; and

(2)there is no available postponement past April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which age 70 ½ (or age 72, as applicable) is attained.

A Participant generally may aggregate his or her IRAs for purposes of satisfying these requirements and withdraw the required distribution in any combination from such Contracts or accounts, unless the Contract or account otherwise provides.

408A Roth IRAs. Minimum distribution requirements generally applicable to 403(b) Annuities, 401(a)/(k) and 403(a) qualified plans, 408(b) IRAs, SEPs and 457 Plans, do not apply to 408A Roth IRAs during the Contract Owner's lifetime, but generally do apply after the Contract Owner's death.

A Beneficiary generally may aggregate his or her Roth IRAs inherited from the same decedent for purposes of satisfying these requirements and withdraw the required distribution in any combination from such Contracts or accounts, unless the Contract or account otherwise provides.

457 Plans. Beginning January 1, 1989, the minimum distribution requirements for EDCPs are generally the same as described above for 403(b) Annuities except that there is no exception for pre-1987 amounts, and multiple plans may not be aggregated to satisfy the requirement. Distributions must satisfy the irrevocable election requirements applicable to non-governmental tax-exempt employer EDCPs.

Nonqualified Contracts. Nonqualified Contracts do not require commencement of distributions at any particular time during the Contract Owner's lifetime and generally do not limit the duration of annuity payments.

At the Contract Owner's death before payout has begun, Contract amounts generally either must be paid to the Beneficiary within 5 years, or must begin within 1 year of death and be paid over the life or life expectancy of the Beneficiary. If death occurs after commencement of (but before full) payout, distributions generally must continue at least as rapidly as in effect at the time of death. Similar distribution requirements will also apply if the Contract Owner is not a natural person or if the Annuitant dies or is changed. An exception to this rule may apply in the case of a beneficiary who is also the participant's spouse.

Tax-Free Rollovers, Transfers and Exchanges

403(b) Annuities. Tax-free transfers between 403(b) annuity Contracts and/or 403(b)(7) custodial accounts and, with the exception of distributions to and from Roth 403(b) accounts, tax-free rollovers to or from 403(b) programs to 408(b) IRAs, other 403(b) programs, 401(a)/403(a) qualified plans and governmental EDCPs, are permitted under certain circumstances. Funds in a 403(b) annuity contract may be rolled directly over to a Roth IRA. Distributions from Roth 403(b) accounts may be rolled over or transferred to another Roth 403(b) account or rolled over to a Roth IRA or a Roth 401(k) or eligible Roth 457(b) account. Roth 403(b) accounts may only receive rollover contributions from other Roth accounts.

401(a)/(k) and 403(a) Qualified Plans. The taxable portion of certain distributions, except for distributions from Roth accounts, may be rolled over tax-free to or from a 408(b) individual retirement account or annuity, another such plan, a 403(b) program, or a governmental EDCP. Funds in a qualified contract may be rolled directly over to a Roth IRA. The rollover/ transfer rules for Qualified plans are generally the same as described for 403(b) Annuities.

408(b) Traditional IRAs and SEPs. Funds may be rolled over tax-free to or from a 408(b) IRA Contract, from a 403(b) program, a 401(a)/(k) or 403(a) qualified plan, or a governmental EDCP under certain conditions. In addition, tax-free rollovers may be made from one 408(b) IRA (other than a Roth IRA) to another provided that no more than one such rollover is made during any 12-month period.

408A Roth IRAs. Funds may be transferred tax-free from one 408A Roth IRA to another. Funds in a 408(b) IRA or eligible retirement plan (401(a)/(k), 403(b) or governmental 457(b)) may be rolled in a taxable transaction to a 408A Roth IRA.

9

 

Special, complicated rules governing holding periods and avoidance of the 10% penalty tax apply to rollovers from 408(b) IRAs to 408A Roth IRAs and may be subject to further modification by Congress. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of these rules.

408(p) SIMPLE IRAs. Funds may generally be rolled over tax-free from a SIMPLE IRA to a 408(b) IRA. However, during the two-year period beginning on the date you first participate in any SIMPLE IRA plan of your employer, SIMPLE IRA funds may only be rolled to another SIMPLE IRA.

457 Plans. Tax-free transfers of EDCP amounts from tax-exempt employers are permitted only to another EDCP of a like employer. Tax-free rollovers to or from a governmental EDCP to other governmental EDCPs, 403(b) programs, 401(a)/401(k)/403(a) Qualified Plans, 408(b) IRAs, are permitted under certain circumstances.

Nonqualified Contracts. Certain of the nonqualified single payment deferred annuity Contracts permit the Contract Owner to exchange the Contract for a new deferred annuity contract prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A full or partial exchange of one annuity Contract for another is a tax-free transaction under section 1035 of the Code, provided that the requirements of that section are satisfied. However, the exchange is reportable to the IRS.

Effect of Tax-Deferred Accumulations

The chart below compares the results from contributions made to:

A Contract issued to a tax-favored retirement program purchased with pre-tax contributions (Purchase Payments);

A nonqualified Contract purchased with after-tax contributions (Purchase Payments); and

Taxable accounts such as savings accounts.

This hypothetical chart compares the results of (1) contributing $100 per month to a conventional, non-tax-deferred account (shown above as "Taxable Account"); (2) contributing $100 to a nonqualified, tax-deferred annuity (shown above as "Nonqualified Contract Tax-Deferred Annuity"); and (3) contributing $100 per month ($133.33 since contributions are made before tax) to an annuity purchased under a tax-deferred retirement program (shown above as "Tax-Deferred Annuity"). The chart assumes a 25% tax rate and a 4% annual rate of return. Variable options incur separate account charges and may also incur account maintenance charges and surrender charges, depending on the contract. The chart does not reflect the deduction of any such charges, and, if reflected, would reduce the amounts shown. Federal withdrawal restrictions and a 10% tax penalty may apply to withdrawals before age 59 1/2. This information is for illustrative purposes only and is not a guarantee of future return for any specific investment.

10

 

Unlike taxable accounts, contributions made to tax-favored retirement programs and nonqualified Contracts generally provide tax-deferred treatment on earnings. In addition, pre-tax contributions made to tax-favored retirement programs ordinarily are not subject to income tax until withdrawn. As shown above, investing in a tax- favored program may increase the accumulation power of savings over time. The more taxes saved and reinvested in the program, the more the accumulation power effectively grows over the years.

To further illustrate the advantages of tax-deferred savings using a 25% federal tax bracket, an annual return (before the deduction of any fees or charges) of 4% under a tax-favored retirement program in which tax savings were reinvested has an equivalent after-tax annual return of 3% under a taxable program. The 4% return on the tax- deferred program will be reduced by the impact of income taxes upon withdrawal. The return will vary depending upon the timing of withdrawals. The previous chart represents (without factoring in fees or charges) after-tax amounts that would be received.

By taking into account the current deferral of taxes, contributions to tax-favored retirement programs increase the amount available for savings by decreasing the relative current out-of-pocket cost (referring to the effect on annual net take-home pay) of the investment, regardless of which type of qualifying investment arrangement that is selected. The chart below illustrates this principle by comparing a pre-tax contribution to a tax-favored retirement plan with an after-tax contribution to a taxable account:

This chart assumes a 25% federal income tax rate. The $600 paid toward current federal income taxes reduces the actual amount saved in the taxable account to $1,800 while the full $2,400 is contributed to the tax-qualified program, subject to being taxed upon withdrawal. Stated otherwise, to reach an annual retirement savings goal of $2,400, the contribution to a tax-qualified retirement program results in a current out-of-pocket expense of $1,800 while the contribution to a taxable account requires the full $2,400 out-of-pocket expense. The tax-qualified retirement program represented in this chart is a plan type, such as one under section 403(b) of the Code, which allows participants to exclude contributions (within limits) from gross income. This chart is an example only and does not reflect the return of any specific investment.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA")

U.S. persons should be aware that FATCA, enacted in 2010, provides that a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on certain gross payments (which could include distributions from cash value life insurance or annuity products) made to a foreign entity holding accounts on behalf of U.S. persons if such entity fails to provide applicable certifications to the U.S. government. An entity, for this purpose, will be considered a foreign entity unless it provides an applicable certification to the contrary. Prospective purchasers with accounts in foreign financial institutions or foreign entities should consult with their tax advisor regarding the application of FATCA to their purchase.

Other Withholding Tax

A non-resident Contract Owner that is not exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax should consult a tax advisor as to the availability of an exemption from, or reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax treaty, if any.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

From time to time, we may allow you to exchange an older variable annuity issued by VALIC into VALIC's Portfolio Director Plus Fixed and Variable Annuity Product ("Portfolio Director"), a newer product with more current features and benefits issued by VALIC. Such an exchange offer will be made in accordance with applicable state and federal securities and insurance rules and regulations. You may exchange the Contracts into Portfolio Director as discussed below. See the Portfolio Director prospectus for more details concerning the Portfolio Director investment options and associated fees.

Exchanges From Independence Plus Contracts

(UIT-585 and UITG-585)

Sales/Surrender Charges. Under an Independence Plus Contract, no sales charge is deducted at the time a Purchase Payment is made, but a surrender charge may be imposed on partial or total surrenders. The surrender charge may not exceed 5% of any Purchase Payments withdrawn within five years of the date such Purchase Payments were made. The most recent Purchase Payments are deemed to be withdrawn first. The first partial surrender in that contract year (or total surrender if there has been no prior partial surrender), to the extend it does not exceed 10% of the Account Value, may be surrendered in a Participant Year without any surrender charge being imposed. Portfolio Director imposes a similar surrender charge upon total or partial surrenders. Both Portfolio Director and Independence Plus Contracts have other similar provisions where surrender charges are not imposed. However, Portfolio Director provides at least one additional provision, not included in Independence Plus Contracts, under which no surrender charge will be imposed. An additional provision allows election of a systematic withdrawal method without surrender charges. For purposes of satisfying the fifteen-year and five-year holding requirements described under "Surrender Charge" in the prospectus, Portfolio Director will be deemed to have been issued on the same date as the Independence Plus Contract or certificate thereunder, but no earlier than January 1, 1982. Purchase Payments exchanged into Portfolio Director and which were made within five years before the date of exchange will be treated as Purchase Payments under Portfolio Director for purposes of calculating the surrender charge. Exchanged payments will be deemed to have been made under Portfolio Director on the date they were made to Independence Plus Contracts for purposes of calculating the surrender charge under Portfolio Director.

Other Charges. Under the Independence Plus Contracts, a maintenance charge of $20 is assessed for the first year and an annual charge of $15 is assessed for the second and later years during the accumulation period. The charge is due in quarterly installments. A daily fee is charged at the annual rate of 1% of the daily net asset value allocable to the variable sub-accounts to cover administrative expenses (other than those covered by the annual charge) and mortality risks assumed by the Company. For Portfolio Director, a quarterly account maintenance charge of $3.75 is assessed for each calendar quarter during the Purchase Period during which any Variable Account Option Account Value is credited to a Participant's Account. The fee is to reimburse the Company for some of the administrative expenses associated with the Variable Account Options. No fee is assessed for any calendar quarter if the Account Value is credited only to the Fixed Account Options throughout the quarter. Such fee begins immediately if an exchange is made into any Variable Account Option offered under Portfolio Director. The fee may also be reduced or waived by the Company for Portfolio Director if the administrative expenses are expected to be lower for that Contract. To cover expenses not covered by the account maintenance charge and to compensate the Company for assuming mortality risks and administration and distribution expenses under Portfolio Director, an additional daily charge with an annualized rate of 0.75% to 1.25% (or lower amounts during the Purchase Period for different series of Portfolio Director), depending upon the Variable Account Options selected, if any, on the daily net asset value of VALIC Separate Account A is attributable to Portfolio Director.

Investment Options. Under Independence Plus Contracts ten Divisions of VALIC Separate Account A are available variable investment alternatives, each investing in shares of a different underlying fund of VALIC Company I. In addition, two fixed investment options are available. Under Portfolio Director, there are approximately 70 Divisions of VALIC Separate Account A are available, which Divisions invest in different investment portfolios of VALIC Company I, VALIC Company II, and several other mutual fund portfolios. Three fixed investment options are also available.

Annuity Options. Annuity options under the Contracts provide for payments on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination  of  both. The  Contract  permits   annuity   payments  for  a  designated  period   between   3 and 30 years.

12

 

Portfolio Director permits annuity payments for a designated period between of 5 and 30 years. Independence Plus Contracts and Portfolio Director both provide for "betterment of rates." Under this provision, annuity payments for fixed annuities will be based on mortality tables then being used by the Company, if more favorable to the Annuitant than those included in the Contract.

a.Since this is the first partial surrender in this Participant Year, calculate the excess over 10% of the value of the Purchase Units.

10% of $39,000=$3,900 [no charge on this 10% withdrawal].

b.The Account Value upon which Surrender Charge on the Full Surrender may be calculated (levied) is $39,000-$3,900=$35,100.

c.The Surrender Charge calculated on the Account Value withdrawn $35,100 X .05=$1,755.

d.Since only $29,000 has been paid in Purchase Payments in the 60 months prior to the Full Surrender, the charge can only be calculated on $29,000. The $3,900 partial withdrawal does not reduce this amount. Thus, the charge is $29,000 X (0.05)=$1,450.

PURCHASE UNIT VALUE

Purchase Unit value is discussed in the prospectus under "Purchase Period." The Purchase Unit value for a Division is calculated as shown below:

Step 1: Calculate the gross investment rate:

Gross Investment Rate

=(equals)

The Division's investment income and capital gains and losses (whether realized or unrealized) on that day from the assets attributable to the Division.

÷(divided by)

The value of the Division for the immediately preceding day on which the values are calculated.

We calculate the gross investment rate as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on each business day when the Exchange is open.

Step 2: Calculate net investment rate for any day as follows:

Net Investment Rate

=(equals)

Gross Investment Rate (calculated in Step 1)

(minus)

Separate Account charges.

Step 3: Determine Purchase Unit Value for that day.

Purchase Unit Value for that day.

=(equals)

Purchase Unit Value for immediate preceding day.

×(multiplied by)

Net Investment Rate (as calculated in Step 2) plus 1.00.

The following illustrations show a calculation of new Purchase Unit value and the purchase of Purchase Units (using hypothetical examples):

PAYOUT PAYMENTS

Assumed Investment Rate

The discussion concerning the amount of Payout Payments which follows this section is based on an Assumed Investment Rate of 3 1/2% per annum. However, the Company will permit each Annuitant choosing a variable payout option to select an Assumed Investment Rate permitted by state law or regulations other than the 3 1/2% rate described in this prospectus as follows: 4 1/2% or 5% per annum. The foregoing Assumed Investment Rates are used merely in order to determine the first monthly payment per thousand dollars of value. It should not be inferred that such rates will bear any relationship to the actual net investment experience of VALIC Separate Account A.

Amount of Payout Payments

The amount of the first variable Payout Payment to the Annuitant will depend on the amount of the Account Value applied to effect the variable payout as of the tenth day immediately preceding the date Payout Payments commence, the amount of any premium tax owed, the payout option selected, and the age of the Annuitant.

The Contracts contain tables indicating the dollar amount of the first payout payment under each payout option for each $1,000 of Account Value (after the deduction for any premium tax) at various ages. These tables are based upon the Annuity 2000 Table (promulgated by the Society of Actuaries) and an Assumed Investment Rate of 3 1/2%, 4% and 5% per annum (3 1/2% in the group Contract).

The portion of the first monthly variable Payout Payment derived from a Division of VALIC Separate Account A is divided by the Payout Unit value for that Division (calculated ten days prior to the date of the first monthly payment) to determine the number of Payout Units in each Division represented by the payment. The number of such units will remain fixed during the Payout Period, assuming the Annuitant makes no transfers of Payout Units to provide Payout Units under another Division or to provide a fixed Payout Payment.

In any subsequent month, the dollar amount of the variable payout payment derived from each Division is determined by multiplying the number of Payout Units in that Division by the value of such Payout Unit on the tenth day preceding the due date of such payment. The Payout Unit value will increase or decrease in proportion to the net investment return of the Division or Divisions underlying the variable payout since the date of the previous Payout Payment, less an adjustment to neutralize the 3 1/2% or other Assumed Investment Rate referred to above.

Therefore, the dollar amount of variable Payout Payments after the first year will vary with the amount by which the net investment return is greater or less than 3 1/2% per annum. For example, if a Division has a cumulative net investment  return  of  5%  over  a one  year  period,  the first  Payout  Payment  in the next  year  will be approximately

15

 

1 1/2 percentage points greater than the payment on the same date in the preceding year, and subsequent payments will continue to vary with the investment experience of the Division. If such net investment return is 1% over a one year period, the first Payout Payment in the next year will be approximately 2 1/2 percentage points less than the payment on the same date in the preceding year, and subsequent payments will continue to vary with the investment experience of the applicable Division.

Each deferred Contract provides that, when fixed Payout Payments are to be made under one of the first four payout options, the monthly payment to the Annuitant will not be less than the monthly payment produced by the then current settlement option rates, which will not be less than the rates used for a currently issued single payment immediate annuity contract. The purpose of this provision is to assure the Annuitant that, at retirement, if the fixed payout purchase rates then required by the Company for new single payment immediate annuity contracts are significantly more favorable than the annuity rates guaranteed by a Contract, the Annuitant will be given the benefit of the new annuity rates.

Payout Unit Value

The value of a Payout Unit is calculated at the same time that the value of a Purchase Unit is calculated and is based on the same values for Fund shares and other assets and liabilities. (See "Purchase Period" in the prospectus.) The calculation of Payout Unit value is discussed in the prospectus under "Payout Period."

The following illustrations show, by use of hypothetical examples, the method of determining the Payout Unit value and the amount of variable annuity payments.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of each of the sub- accounts of Separate Account A based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to each of the sub-accounts of Separate Account A in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2019 by correspondence with the transfer agents of the investee mutual funds and the custodians. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In addition to the sub-accounts above, a contract owner may allocate contract funds to a fixed account, which is part of the Company's General Account and not included in these financial statements. Contract owners should refer to the product prospectus for the available Funds and fixed account.

The assets of the Separate Account are segregated from the Company's assets. The operations of the Separate Account are part of the Company. Net premiums from the contracts are allocated to the sub-accounts and invested in the Funds in accordance with contract owner instructions and are recorded as contract transactions in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policy

The financial statements of the Separate Account have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from assumptions used, the financial statements of the Separate Account could be materially affected.

Investments: Investments in mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value per share as determined by the respective mutual funds, which generally value their securities at fair value. Purchases and sales of shares of the Funds are made at the net asset values of such Funds. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized at the date of sale and are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Dividends and capital gain distributions from the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested upon receipt.

Reserves for Annuity Contracts in Payout: Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are based on industry standard mortality tables depending on the calendar year of annuitization as well as other assumptions, including provisions for the risk of adverse deviation from assumptions.

Participants are able to elect assumed interest rates between 3.00 and 6.00 percent in determining annuity payments for all contracts.

At each reporting period, the assumptions must be evaluated based on current experience, and the reserves must be adjusted accordingly. To the extent additional reserves are established due to mortality risk experience, the Company makes payments to the Separate Account. If there are excess reserves remaining at the time annuity payments cease, the assets supporting those reserves are transferred from the Separate Account to the General Account. Transfers between the General Account and the Separate Account, if any, are disclosed as adjustments to net assets allocated to contracts in payout period in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Annuity benefit payments are recorded as payments for contract benefits or terminations in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Accumulation Unit: This is the basic valuation unit used to calculate the contract owner's interest. Such units are valued daily to reflect investment performance and the prorated daily deduction for expense charges.

Income Taxes: The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Under the current provisions of the Code, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent that the earnings are credited under the contracts. As a result, no charge is currently made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Separate Account is not treated as a regulated investment company under the Code. The Company will periodically review changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

3.Fair Value Measurements

Assets recorded at fair value in the Separate Account's Statement of Assets and Liabilities are measured and classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of valuation inputs:

Level 1— Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that the Separate Account has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. The Separate Account does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

Level 2— Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3— Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value positions in Level 3. The circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, the Separate Account makes certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Separate Account assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2019 consist of investments in registered mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, which are classified as Level 1 throughout the year. As such, no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels occurred during the year. See the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for the table presenting information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2019, and respective hierarchy levels.

4.Expenses

Expense charges are applied against the current value of the Separate Account and are paid as follows:

Separate Account Annual Charges: Deductions for the mortality and expense risk charges are calculated daily, at an annual rate, on the actual prior day's net asset value of the underlying Funds comprising the sub-accounts attributable to the contract owners and are paid to the Company. The mortality risk charge represents compensation to the Company for the mortality risks assumed under the contract, which is the obligation to provide payments during the payout period for the life of the contract and to provide the standard death benefit. The expense risk charge represents compensation to the Company for assuming the risk that the current contract administration charges will be insufficient to cover the cost of administering the contract in the future. These charges are included on the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Contract Maintenance Charge: During the accumulation phase, an annual contract maintenance charge is assessed by the Company on the contract anniversary. In the event of a full surrender, a contract maintenance charge is assessed at the date of surrender and deducted from the withdrawal proceeds. The contract maintenance charge represents a reimbursement of administrative expenses incurred by the Company related to the establishment and maintenance of the record keeping function for the sub-accounts. These charges are included as part of the contract maintenance charges line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

A contract maintenance charge of $3.75 is assessed on each contract (except those relating to GUP and GTS- VA, contracts within the Impact product are assessed a $30 annual maintenance charge and contracts within the Polaris Platinum Elite product are assessed a $50 annual maintenance charge) by the Company on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Company receives the first purchase payment, and in quarterly installments thereafter during the accumulation period.

Withdrawal Charge: A withdrawal charge is applicable to certain contract withdrawals pursuant to the contract and is payable to the Company. The withdrawal charges are included as part of the payments for contract benefits or terminations line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Separate Account Expense Reimbursements or Credits: Certain of the Funds or their affiliates have an agreement with the Company to pay the Company for administrative and shareholder services provided to the underlying Fund. The Company applied these payments to reduce its charges to the sub-account investing in that Fund. In addition, the Company currently reimburses or credits certain sub-accounts a portion of the Company's mortality and expense risk charges. Such crediting arrangements are voluntary, and may be changed by the Company at any time. The reimbursements are included on the reimbursement of expenses line of the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

The expense reimbursements are credited at the annual rate of 0.25 percent.

Sales and Administrative Charge: Certain purchase payments to certain products are subject to a sales and administrative charge. The percentage rate charged is based on the amount of purchase payments received. These charges are included as part of the payments received from contract owners line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Premium Tax Charge: Certain states charge taxes on purchase payments up to a maximum of 3.50 percent. Some states assess premium taxes at the time of purchase payments, while some other states assess premium taxes when annuity payments begin or upon surrender. There are certain states that do not assess premium taxes. If the law of the state requires premium taxes to be paid when purchase payments are made, the Company will deduct the tax from such payments prior to depositing the payments into the Separate Account. Otherwise, such tax will be deducted from the account value when annuity payments begin. Premium taxes are included as part of the payments received from contract owners line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) Charge: The charges for the GMWB riders are assessed quarterly on all policies that have elected this option. The annualized charges by GMWB rider and by product are as follows:

(a)Because the unit values are presented as a range of lowest to highest, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract unit values are not within the ranges presented.

(b)These amounts represent the net asset value before adjustments allocated to the contracts in payout period.

(c)These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the sub-account from the Funds, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Funds in which the sub-account invests. The average net assets are calculated using the net asset balances at the beginning and end of the year.

(d)These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the sub-account, consisting of distribution, mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owners account through the redemption of units and expenses of the Funds have been excluded. For additional information on charges and deductions, see Note 4.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(e)These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Funds, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each of the periods indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Because the total return is presented as a range of minimum and maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratios, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

7.Subsequent Events

Management considered Separate Accounts related events and transactions that occurred after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that required additional disclosures. Management has evaluated events through April 22, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued. While sufficient information is not available to adequately evaluate the short-term or long-term impact to the Company as a result of the economic and market activities associated with the 2020 outbreak of COVID-19 ("Coronavirus"), the current economic volatility and environment may adversely impact net assets for each sub-account.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the

Board of Directors and Shareholder of

The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc., which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statutory statements of operations and changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the "Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019.

Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations

2

 

and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance described in Note 2.

Other Matter

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the statutory-basis financial statements taken as a whole. The Supplemental Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, Supplemental Investment Risks

Interrogatories and Supplemental Summary Investment Schedule (collectively, the "supplemental schedules") of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended are presented to comply with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' Annual Statement Instructions and Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the statutory-basis financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the statutory-basis financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements or to the statutory- basis financial statements themselves and other additional procedures, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the statutory-basis financial statements taken as a whole.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC or the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance Company (AGC Life or the Parent), which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (AIG Parent). AIG Parent is a holding company, which through its subsidiaries provides a wide range of property casualty insurance, life insurance, retirement products and other financial services to commercial and individual customers in more than 80 countries and jurisdictions. The term "AIG Parent" means American International Group, Inc. and not any of its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is a stock life insurance company domiciled and licensed under the laws of the State of Texas and is subject to regulation by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). The Company is also subject to regulation by the states in which it is authorized to transact business. The Company is licensed in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The Company is a leading provider of defined contribution retirement savings plans sponsored by education, not-for- profit and government organizations. Primary products include fixed and variable annuities, and mutual funds and plan administrative and compliance services. The Company utilizes career financial advisors and independent financial advisors to provide retirement plan participants with enrollment support and comprehensive financial planning services. No annual annuity deposits for any individual advisor in 2019 or 2018 represented more than 10 percent of total annuity deposits.

The operations of the Company are influenced by many factors, including general economic conditions, financial condition of AIG Parent, monetary and fiscal policies of the United States federal government and policies of state and other regulatory authorities. The level of sales of the Company's insurance and financial products is influenced by many factors, including general market rates of interest, the strength, weakness and volatility of equity markets and terms and conditions of competing products. The Company is exposed to the risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed income securities, which include interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risks. The Company controls its exposure to these risks by, among other things, closely monitoring and managing the duration and cash flows of its assets and liabilities, monitoring and limiting prepayments and extension risk in its portfolio, maintaining a large percentage of the Company's portfolio in highly liquid securities, engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting, and reviewing and monitoring credit risk.

The Company is also exposed to market risk, policyholder behavior risk and mortality/longevity risk. Market volatility and other equity market conditions may affect the Company's exposure to risks related to guaranteed death benefits and guaranteed living benefits on variable annuity products, and may reduce fee income on variable product assets held in separate accounts. Such guaranteed benefits are sensitive to equity and interest rate market conditions.

In February 2018, VALIC and its U.S. life insurance company affiliates, American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) and The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (USL) each executed their respective Modified Coinsurance (ModCo) Agreements (The Agreements) with Fortitude Reinsurance Company, Ltd (FRL), (formerly DSA Reinsurance Company Limited), at the time a wholly owned AIG subsidiary and registered Class 4 and Class E reinsurer in Bermuda. The Agreements were effective as of January 1, 2017 in respect of certain closed blocks of business (including structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities). Please refer to Note 13 – Reinsurance for further details relating to this agreement.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the TDI. These accounting practices vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), as described herein.

The TDI recognizes only statutory accounting practices (SAP) prescribed or permitted by the State of Texas for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining

9

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

its solvency under the Texas Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Texas.

Effective December 31, 2017, VALIC received approval from the TDI to apply a permitted practice in its 2017 Annual Statement and subsequent reporting periods through September 30, 2019. The permitted practice allowed VALIC to use the criteria established in Actuarial Guideline 43, instead of the criteria established in Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") No. 86, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging, Income Generation, and Replication (Synthetic Asset) Transactions" to determine if a hedge was effective for certain interest rate swaps and swaptions that were used to hedge guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits. Thus, specific interest rate swaps and swaptions that VALIC determined were effective hedges were reported at amortized cost, pursuant to the accounting guidance set forth in SSAP 86. Upon adoption, the effect of the original permitted practice was reported as a change in accounting principle, consistent with SSAP No. 3, "Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors".

Upon expiration of the above permitted practice for swaps and swaptions subsequent to September 30, 2019, VALIC applied the guidance in SSAP No. 86 and recognized this change in accounting principle as of the beginning of the year (i.e., January 1, 2019), as required by SSAP 3, which decreased the Company's surplus by approximately $28 million at January 1, 2019. Subsequent to January 1, 2019, application of guidance in SSAP 86 to the Company's hedging instruments (swaps and swaptions) increased VALIC's surplus by approximately $60 million, primarily due to the recognition of unrealized gains. VALIC intends to begin prospectively accounting for the subject interest rate derivatives that hedge interest rate risk related to guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits under SSAP 108 guidance effective April 1, 2020. The adoption of SSAP 108 will coincide with the implementation of the related reserve guidance in the NAIC Valuation Manual (VM) subsection 21 (VM 21), Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Variable Annuities.

The Insurance Commissioner of State of Texas has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the TDI requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the statutory financial statements and the accompanying notes. It also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statutory financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the period. The areas of significant judgments and estimates include the following:

application of other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI);

estimates with respect to income taxes, including recoverability of deferred tax assets (DTA);

fair value measurements of certain financial assets; and

policy reserves for life and annuity, including guarantees.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, the Company's Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, Statutory Statements of Operations and Statutory Statements of Cash Flows could be materially affected.

Significant Accounting Policies

Bonds not backed by other loans are carried at amortized cost except for those with a NAIC designation of "6" or "6*". Bonds with a NAIC 6 designation are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, with unrealized losses charged directly to unassigned surplus. Bonds that have not been filed and have not received a designation in over one year from the NAIC's Investment Analysis Office (IAO) receive a "6*" designation and are carried at zero, with the unrealized loss charged directly to unassigned surplus. Bonds filed with the IAO which receive a "6*" designation may carry a value greater than zero. Securities are assigned a NAIC 5* designation if the Company certifies that (1) the documentation necessary to permit a full credit analysis does not exist, (2) the issuer or obligor is current on all contracted interest and principal payments and (3) the Company has an actual expectation of ultimate repayment of all contracted interest and principal. Securities with NAIC 5* designations are deemed to possess the credit characteristics of securities assigned a NAIC 5 designation. The discount or premium on bonds is amortized using the effective yield method.

Loan-backed and structured securities (LBaSS) include residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), pass-thru securities, lease-backed securities, equipment trust certificates, loan-backed securities issued by special purpose corporations or trusts, and securities where there is not direct recourse to the issuer. LBaSS are carried on a basis consistent with that of bonds not backed by loans. Income recognition for LBaSS is determined using the effective yield method and estimated cash flows. Prepayment assumptions for single-class and multi-class mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and ABS were obtained from an outside vendor or internal estimates. The Company uses independent pricing services and broker quotes in determining the fair value of its LBaSS. The Company uses the retrospective adjustment method to account for the effect of unscheduled payments affecting high credit quality securities, while securities with less than high credit quality and securities for which the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable are both accounted for using the prospective adjustment method.

Risk-based capital (RBC) charges for LBaSS are based on the final NAIC designations, which are determined with a multi-step approach. The initial designation is used to determine the carrying value of the security. The final NAIC designation is used for reporting and affects RBC. The final NAIC designation is determined in one of three ways. The final NAIC designation for most RMBS and CMBS is determined by financial modeling conducted by BlackRock. RMBS and CMBS that are not financially modeled, primarily due to a lack of publicly available information and most remaining LBaSS are subject to a modified designation based on an NAIC matrix and the Company's statement value for the security. For credit tenant loans, equipment trust certificates, any corporate-like securities rated by the NAIC's IAO, interest only securities, and those securities with an original NAIC designation of 5, 5*, 6 or 6*, the final NAIC designation is based on the IAO or Credit Rating Provider rating and is not subject to a modified designation or financial modeling.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Short sale is the sale of a security which is not owned by the company at the time of sale. Short sales are normally settled by the delivery of a security borrowed by or on behalf of seller. A short sale as defined in Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 103 "Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" is reported as a contra-asset (negative asset) initially reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as unrealized gains and losses.

Preferred stocks with NAIC designations of "1" through "3" are carried at amortized cost. All other preferred stocks are stated at the lower of cost, amortized cost or fair value, with unrealized capital losses charged directly to unassigned surplus. Provisions made for impairment are recorded as realized capital losses when declines in fair value are determined to be other than temporary.

Unaffiliated common stocks are carried at fair value, with unrealized capital gains and losses credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Provisions made for impairment are recorded as realized capital losses when declines in fair value are determined to be other than temporary. For Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) capital stock, which is only redeemable at par, the fair value shall be presumed to be par, unless considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company has no investments in insurance subsidiary, controlled, and affiliated (SCA) entities. Investments in non- insurance SCA entities are recorded based on the equity of the investee per audited financial statements prepared pursuant to U.S. GAAP, which is adjusted to a statutory basis of accounting, if applicable. All investments in non- insurance SCA entities for which either audited U.S. GAAP financial statements or audited foreign GAAP basis financial statements that include a footnote reconciling net income and equity on a foreign GAAP basis to U.S. GAAP are not available, are non-admitted as assets. Undistributed equity in earnings of affiliates is included in unassigned surplus as a component of unrealized capital gains or losses. Dividends received from such affiliates are recorded as investment income when declared.

Mortgage and mezzanine real estate loans are carried at unpaid principal balances less allowances for credit losses and plus or minus adjustments for the accretion or amortization of discount or premium. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when collection of all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. Impairment is measured using either i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, ii) the loan's observable market price, if available, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is typically established for the difference between the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional allowance is established for incurred but not specifically identified impairments, based on statistical models primarily driven by past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio, property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants, and economic trends in the market where the property is located. When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is charged off against the allowance.

Real estate consists of properties occupied by the Company, properties held for the production of income and properties held for sale. Properties occupied by the Company and held for the production of income are carried at depreciated cost, less encumbrances, unless events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset (amount prior to reduction for encumbrances) may not be recoverable. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of its depreciated cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell the property and net of encumbrances. Real estate obtained through foreclosure, in satisfaction of a loan, is recorded at the time of foreclosure at the lower of fair value as determined by acceptable appraisal methodologies, or the carrying amount of the related loan. Land is reported at cost.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments include cash on hand and amounts due from banks and highly liquid debt instruments that have original maturities within one year of date of purchase and are carried at amortized cost. Short-term investments include interest-bearing money market funds, investment pools and other investments with original maturities within one year from the date of purchase.

Contract loans are carried at unpaid balances, which include unpaid principal plus accrued interest, including 90 days or more past due. All loan amounts in excess of the contract cash surrender value are considered non-admitted assets.

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of a highly effective hedge are reported in a manner consistent with the hedged asset or liability (hedge accounting). Changes in statement value or cash flow of

12

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded consistent with the changes in the statement value or cash flow of the hedged asset or liability. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge (ineffective hedges) are accounted for at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

Hedge accounting was not used for any derivative instruments in 2019.

Other invested assets principally consist of investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Investments in these assets, except for joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies with a minor ownership interest, are reported using the equity method. Under SAP, such investments are generally reported based on audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee, with subsequent adjustment to a statutory basis of accounting, if applicable.

Joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has a minor ownership interest (i.e., less than 10 percent) or lacks control, are generally recorded based on the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee, with some prescribed exceptions. SAP allows the use of (a) the U.S. GAAP equity as set forth in the footnote reconciliation of foreign GAAP equity and income to U.S. GAAP within audited foreign GAAP financial statements or (b) the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) basis equity in audited IFRS financial statements as an acceptable basis for the valuation of minor/non-controlled investments. The audited U.S. tax basis equity may also be used in certain circumstances.

All other investments in entities for which audited U.S. GAAP financial statements, or another acceptable audited basis of accounting as described above were not available have been non-admitted as assets. Undistributed accumulated earnings of such entities are included in unassigned surplus as a component of unrealized capital gains or losses. Distributions received that are not in excess of the undistributed accumulated earnings are recognized as investment income. Impairments that are determined to be other than temporary are recognized as realized capital losses.

Securities lending and repurchase agreements: The Company has a securities lending program, which was approved by its Board of Directors and lends securities from its investment portfolio to supplement liquidity or for other uses as deemed appropriate by management. Under the program, securities are lent to financial institutions, and in return the Company receives cash as collateral equal to 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities. The cash collateral received is invested in short-term investments that may be sold or repledged or partially used for short-term liquidity purposes based on conservative cash flow forecasts. Securities lent by the Company under these transactions may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. The liability for cash collateral received is reported in payable for securities lending in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. The Company monitors the fair value of securities loaned and obtains additional collateral as necessary. At the termination of the transactions, the Company and its counterparties are obligated to return the collateral provided and the securities lent, respectively. These transactions are treated as secured financing arrangements.

In addition, the Company is a party to secured financing transactions involving securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which the Company transfers securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by the Company to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities on agreed upon dates specified in the agreements.

Investment income due and accrued is non-admitted from investment income for bonds and other invested assets when collection of interest is overdue by more than 90 days, or is uncertain, and for mortgage loans when loans are foreclosed, or delinquent in payment for greater than 90 days, or when collection of interest is uncertain.

Net realized capital gains and losses, which are determined by using the specific identification method, are reflected in income net of applicable federal income taxes and transfers to the interest maintenance reserve.

The Company regularly evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in value. The determination that a security has incurred an OTTI in value and the amount of any loss recognition requires the judgment of the Company's management and a continual review of its investments.

For bonds, other than LBaSS, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms in effect at the acquisition date of the debt security. If it is

13

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

determined an OTTI has occurred, the cost basis of bonds are written down to fair value and the amount of the write- down is recognized as a realized capital loss.

For LBaSS, a non-interest related OTTI resulting from a decline in value due to fundamental credit problems of the issuer is recognized when the projected discounted cash flows for a particular security are less than its amortized cost. When a non-interest related OTTI occurs, the LBaSS is written down to the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected. An OTTI is also deemed to have occurred if the Company intends to sell the LBaSS or does not have the intent and ability to retain the LBaSS until recovery. If the decline is interest-related, the LBaSS is written down to fair value.

In periods subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI loss, the Company generally accretes the difference between the new cost basis and the future cash flows expected to be collected, if applicable, as interest income over the remaining life of the security based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.

Non-admitted assets are excluded from admitted assets and the change in the aggregate amount of such assets is reflected as a separate component of unassigned surplus. Non-admitted assets include all assets specifically designated as non-admitted and assets not designated as admitted, such as a negative IMR, a certain portion of DTAs, prepaid expenses, electronic data processing (EDP) equipment assets, agents' balances or other receivables over 90 days. Non-admitted assets amounted to $644 million and $519 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest maintenance reserve (IMR) is calculated based on methods prescribed by the NAIC and was established to prevent large fluctuations in interest-related investment gains and losses resulting from sales (net of taxes) and interest- related OTTI (net of taxes). An OTTI occurs when the Company, at the reporting date, has the intent to sell an investment or does not have the intent and ability to hold the security before recovery of the cost of the investment. For LBaSS, if the Company recognizes an interest-related OTTI, the non-interest-related OTTI is recorded to the asset valuation reserve, and the interest-related portion to IMR. Such gains and losses are deferred into the IMR and amortized into income using the grouped method over the remaining contractual lives of the securities sold.

Asset valuation reserve (AVR) is used to stabilize surplus from fluctuations in the market value of bonds, stocks, mortgage loans, real estate, limited partnerships and other investments. Changes in the AVR are recorded as direct increases or decreases in surplus.

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds for which the contract holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account contract holders have no claim against the assets of the general account of the Company, except for certain guaranteed products. Separate account assets are generally reported at fair value. In addition, certain products with fixed guarantees and market-value-adjusted (MVA) fixed annuity contracts in which the assets are generally carried at amortized cost are required by certain states to be carried in a separate account. The operations of the separate accounts are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Operations and Statutory Statements of Cash Flows of the Company. The Company receives fees for assuming mortality and certain expense risks. Such fees are included in separate account fees in the Statutory Statements of Operations. Reserves for variable annuity contracts are provided in accordance with the Variable Annuity Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (VACARVM) under Actuarial Guideline 43 (AG 43).

Policy reserves are established according to different methods.

Life and annuity reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using specified interest rates, mortality or morbidity assumptions, and valuation methods prescribed or permitted by statutes that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash values or the amounts required by the TDI.

The Company performs annual cash flow testing in accordance with the Actuarial Opinion and Memorandum Regulation to ensure adequacy of the reserves. $131 million in cash flow testing reserves were held at December 31, 2019.

A majority of the Company's variable annuity products are issued with a guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB), which provides that, upon the death of a contract holder, the contract holder's beneficiary will receive the greater of: (1) the contract holder's account value or (2) a GMDB, which varies by product. Depending on the product, the GMDB may

14

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

equal the principal invested, adjusted for withdrawals; or the principal invested, adjusted for withdrawals, accumulated at up to 3 percent per annum (subject to certain caps). Death benefits on GMDB policies reduce on a proportional basis when a partial withdrawal occurs. This applies to all contracts issued in states where the proportional GMDB is approved except where precluded by contract for a very limited number of groups. Prior to December 2003, the Company sold variable annuity contracts containing a GMDB where the death benefits reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis when a partial withdrawal occurs.

The guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB) is a feature the Company offers on certain variable annuity products. If available and elected by the contract holder at time of issuance and depending on the provisions of the feature elected, this feature provides a guaranteed annual stream of income payments for life or other specified period, regardless of market performance. The amount of the guaranteed withdrawal stream is determined from a guaranteed benefit base amount that is dependent upon the specific feature elected. The Company bears the risk that protracted under-performance of the financial markets and/or greater than expected longevity could result in GMWB benefits being higher than the underlying contract holder account balances and that the fees collected under the contract are insufficient to cover the costs of the benefits to be provided.

In addition, the Company is a reinsurer for the guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB), GMWB and GMDB on certain variable annuities issued in Japan by MetLife Insurance K.K. (MetLife in Japan). The GMIB is an optional feature that guarantees that the income benefit upon annuitization will not be less than the guaranteed income benefit even if the accumulation value of the contract falls to zero. New business under these reinsurance agreements was no longer accepted after March 31, 2009.

All direct and assumed GMIB, GMWB and GMDB benefits are included in the calculation of the policy reserves for variable annuities pursuant to AG 43.

AG 43 requires the Company to perform a stochastic valuation analysis of the total reserves held for all variable annuity contracts with guaranteed death and living benefits. These reserves are derived by using the 70 percent Conditional Tail Expectation of the modeled reserves and are based on prudent estimate assumptions. In addition, a deterministic valuation is also performed using assumptions prescribed in AG 43. The greater of these two reserve balances is the AG 43 reserve.

Liabilities for deposit-type contracts, which include supplementary contracts without life contingencies and annuities certain, are based on the discounting of future payments at an annual statutory effective rate. Tabular interest on other funds not involving life contingencies is based on the interest rate at which the liability accrues.

Premiums and annuity considerations and related expenses are recognized over different periods. Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying periods of the related policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Premiums for deposit-type products are credited directly to the respective reserves and are not recorded in the Statutory Statement of Operations. Acquisition costs such as commissions and other expenses related to the production of new business are charged to the Statutory Statements of Operations as incurred.

Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

Annuity and deposit-type contract surrender benefits are reported on a cash basis, and include annuity benefits, payments under supplementary contracts with life contingencies, surrenders and withdrawals. Withdrawals from deposit-type contracts directly reduce the liability for deposit-type contracts and are not reported in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

General insurance expenses include allocated expenses pursuant to a cost allocation agreement. The Company purchases administrative, accounting, marketing and data processing services from AIG Parent or its subsidiaries and is charged based on estimated levels of usage, transactions or time incurred in providing the respective services. The allocation of costs for investment management services purchased from AIG Parent or its subsidiaries is based on the level of assets under management.

15

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Federal income tax expense (benefit) is recognized and computed on a separate company basis pursuant to a tax sharing agreement with AIG Parent, because the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of its ultimate parent, AIG Parent. To the extent that benefits for net operating losses, foreign tax credits or net capital losses are utilized on a consolidated basis, the Company would recognize tax benefits based upon the amount of those deductions and credits utilized in the consolidated federal income tax return. The federal income tax expense or benefit reflected in the Statutory Statements of Operations represents income taxes provided on income that is currently taxable, but excludes tax on the net realized capital gains or losses.

Income taxes on capital gains or losses reflect differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses on a statutory accounting basis versus a tax accounting basis. The most significant of such differences involve impairments of investments, which are recorded as realized losses in the Statutory Statements of Operations but are not recognized for tax purposes, and the deferral of net capital gains and losses into the IMR for statutory income but not for taxable income. Capital gains and losses on certain related-party transactions are recognized for statutory financial reporting purposes but are deferred for income tax reporting purposes until the security is sold to an outside party.

A deferred tax asset (DTA) or deferred tax liability (DTL) is included in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, which reflects the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the statement values of assets and liabilities for statutory financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. The change in the net DTA or DTL is reflected in a separate component of unassigned surplus. Net DTA are limited in their admissibility.

Accounting Changes

There were no new accounting standards that were effective during the periods covered by this statement that had a material impact on the operations of the Company.

Correction of Errors

SAP requires that corrections of errors related to prior periods be reported as adjustments to unassigned surplus to the extent that they are not material to prior periods.

In 2019, one out-of-period error was identified and corrected, which increased reserves relating to fixed indexed annuities due to an incorrect application of incident rates and decreased unassigned surplus by $5 million.

There was no correction of errors related to prior period in 2018.

In 2017, certain prior year errors were identified and corrected, which increased unassigned surplus by $73 million on a pre-tax basis or $48 million after tax. The most significant of these were decreases in reserves for fixed index annuities.

Differences in Statutory Accounting and U.S. GAAP Accounting

The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the TDI. These accounting practices vary in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. The primary differences between NAIC SAP and U.S. GAAP are as follows.

The objectives of U.S. GAAP differ from the objectives of SAP. U.S. GAAP is designed to measure the entity as a going concern and to produce general purpose financial statements to meet the varying needs of the different users of financial statements. SAP is designed to address the accounting requirements of regulators, who are the primary users of statutory-basis financial statements and whose primary objective is to measure solvency. As a result, U.S. GAAP stresses measurement of earnings and financial condition of a business from period to period, while SAP stresses measurement of the ability of the insurer to pay claims in the future.

Investments. Under SAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks are generally reported at amortized cost. However, if bonds are designated category "6" and preferred stocks are designated categories "4 – 6" by the NAIC,

16

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

these investments are reported at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value with a credit or charge to unrealized investment gains or losses. For U.S. GAAP, such fixed-maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to- maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed-maturity investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a component of other comprehensive income for those designated as available-for-sale.

Under SAP, all single- and multi-class MBS or other ABS (e.g., Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium with respect to such securities using either the retrospective or prospective method. For LBaSS subsequent to July 1, 2009, if it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary the cost basis of the security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows. Bonds, other than LBaSS, that are other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value. For U.S. GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, would be adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If high-credit quality securities must be adjusted, the retrospective method would be used. For all bonds, if it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security would be written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows, while the non-credit portion of the impairment would be recorded as an unrealized loss in other comprehensive income.

Under SAP, when it is probable that the insurer will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement, valuation allowances are established for temporarily-impaired mortgage loans based on the difference between the unpaid loan balance and the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate, less estimated costs to obtain and sell. The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus rather than as a component of earnings as would be required under U.S. GAAP. If the impairment is other-than-temporary, a direct write down is recognized as a realized loss, and a new cost basis is established. Under U.S. GAAP, valuation allowances would be established when the insurer determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Such U.S. GAAP allowances would be based on the difference between the unpaid loan balance and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate.

Under SAP, joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the insurer has a minor ownership interest (i.e., less than 10 percent) or lacks control are generally recorded based on the underlying audited U.S. GAAP basis equity of the investee. Under U.S. GAAP, joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the insurer has a significant ownership interest or is deemed to have control are accounted for under the equity method, where that is not the case, such investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in 2018 for equity securities previously designated as available-for-sale and through net income for equity securities measured at fair value at the Company's election. Prior to 2018, equity securities designated as available-for-sale were carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through other comprehensive income.

Real Estate. Under SAP, investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations; under U.S. GAAP, investments in real estate are reported on a gross basis. Under SAP, real estate owned and occupied by the insurer is included in investments; under U.S. GAAP, real estate owned and occupied by the insurer is reported as an operating asset, and operating income and expenses include rent for the insurer's occupancy of those properties.

Derivatives. Under SAP, derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded as unrealized capital gains or losses. Under U.S. GAAP, such derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded as realized capital gains or losses. Under U.S. GAAP, fair value measurement for free standing derivatives incorporate either counterparty's credit risk for derivative assets or the insurer's credit risk for derivative liabilities by determining the explicit cost to protect against credit exposure. This credit exposure evaluation takes into consideration observable credit default swap rates. Under SAP, non-performance risk (own credit-risk) is not reflected in the fair value calculations for derivative liabilities. Under U.S. GAAP, index life insurance features in certain variable universal life contracts and certain guaranteed features of variable annuities are bifurcated and accounted for separately as embedded policy derivatives. Under SAP, embedded derivatives are not bifurcated or accounted for separately from the host contract.

Interest Maintenance Reserve. Under SAP, the insurer is required to maintain an IMR. IMR is calculated based on methods prescribed by the NAIC and was established to prevent large fluctuations in interest-related capital gains and losses realized through sales or OTTI. IMR applies to all types of fixed maturity investments, including bonds, preferred stocks, MBS, ABS and mortgage loans. After-tax capital gains or losses realized upon the sale or impairment of such investments resulting from changes in the overall level of interest rates are excluded from current period net income and transferred to the IMR. The transferred after-tax net realized capital gains or losses are then amortized into income over the remaining period to maturity of the divested asset. Realized capital gains and losses are reported net of tax and transfers to the IMR, after net gain from operations. Any negative IMR balance is treated as non-admitted asset. This reserve is not required under U.S. GAAP and pre-tax realized capital gains and losses are reported as component of total revenues, with related taxes included in taxes from operations.

Asset Valuation Reserve. Under SAP, the insurer is required to maintain an AVR, which is computed in accordance with a prescribed formula and represents a provision for possible fluctuations in the value of bonds, equity securities, mortgage loans, real estate, and other invested assets. The level of AVR is based on both the type of investment and its credit rating. Under SAP, AVR is included in total adjusted capital for RBC analysis purposes. Changes to AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. This reserve is not required under U.S. GAAP.

Subsidiaries. Under SAP, investments in insurance subsidiaries are recorded based upon the underlying audited statutory equity of a subsidiary with all undistributed earnings or losses shown as an unrealized capital gain or loss in unassigned surplus. Dividends received by the parent company from its subsidiaries are recorded through net investment income. Under U.S. GAAP, subsidiaries' financial statements are combined with the parent company's financial statements through consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated under U.S. GAAP. Dividends received by the parent company from its subsidiaries reduce the parent company's investment in the subsidiaries.

Policy Acquisition Costs and Sales Inducements. Under SAP, policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal of existing insurance and investment-type contracts, are deferred and amortized, generally in proportion to the present value of expected future gross profit margins. For all other insurance contracts, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) are amortized, with interest, over the premium-paying period of the related contracts, using assumptions that are consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. Under SAP, sales inducements are expensed when incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, certain sales inducements on interest-sensitive life insurance contracts and deferred annuities are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC.

Deferred Premiums. Under SAP, when deferred premiums exist, statutory deferred premiums are held as a statutory asset, while under U.S. GAAP, deferred premiums are held as a contra-liability in the future policy benefits liability.

Non-admitted Assets. Certain assets designated as "non-admitted," principally any negative IMR, agents' balances or unsecured loans or advances to agents, certain DTAs, furniture, equipment and computer software, receivables over 90 days and prepaid expenses, as well as other assets not specifically identified as admitted assets within the NAIC SAP, are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheet.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies. Under SAP, revenues for universal life and annuity policies containing mortality or morbidity risk considerations consist of the entire premium received, and benefits incurred consist of the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Payments received on contracts that do not incorporate any mortality or morbidity risk considerations (deposit-type contracts) are credited directly to an appropriate liability for deposit-type contract account without recognizing premium income. Interest credited to deposit-type contracts is recorded as an expense in the Statutory Statements of Operations as incurred. Payments that represent a return of policyholder balances are recorded as a direct reduction of the liability for deposit-type contracts, rather than a benefit expense. Under U.S. GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges are not recognized as premium revenue, and benefits represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

Benefit Reserves. Under SAP, loading is the difference between the gross and valuation net premium. Valuation net premium is calculated using valuation assumptions which are different for statutory and U.S. GAAP. Statutory valuation

18

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

assumptions are set by the insurer within limits as defined by statutory law. U.S. GAAP valuation assumptions are set by the insurer based on management's estimates and judgment.

Policyholder funds not involving life contingencies use different valuation assumptions for SAP and U.S. GAAP. Under SAP, prescribed rates of interest related to payout annuities are used in the discounting of expected benefit payments, while under U.S. GAAP, the insurer's best estimates of interest rates are used.

Under SAP, the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method is used for the majority of individual insurance reserves. Under U.S. GAAP, individual insurance policyholder liabilities for traditional forms of insurance are generally established using the net level premium method. For interest-sensitive policies, a liability for policyholder account balances is established under U.S. GAAP based on the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder. Policy assumptions used in the estimation of policyholder liabilities are generally prescribed under SAP. Under U.S. GAAP, policy assumptions are based upon best estimates as of the date the policy was issued, with provisions for the risk of adverse deviation.

Under SAP, the CARVM is used for the majority of individual deferred annuity reserves, while under U.S. GAAP, individual deferred annuity policyholder liabilities are generally equal to the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder, together with liabilities for certain contractual guarantees, if applicable.

Under SAP, reserves for fixed rate deposit-type contracts are based upon their accumulated values, discounted at an annual statutory effective rate, while under U.S. GAAP, reserves for deposit-type contracts are recorded at their accumulated values.

Reinsurance. Under SAP, policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers are reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as required under U.S. GAAP. Under SAP, a liability for reinsurance balances has been provided for unsecured policy reserves, unearned premiums, and unpaid losses ceded to reinsurers not licensed to assume such business. Changes to these amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings. Under SAP, the criteria used to demonstrate risk transfer varies from U.S. GAAP, which may result in transactions that are accounted for as reinsurance for SAP and deposit accounting for U.S. GAAP. Under SAP, the reserve credit permitted for unauthorized reinsurers is less than or equal to the amount of letter of credit or funds held in trust by the reinsurer. Under U.S. GAAP, assumed and ceded reinsurance is reflected on a gross basis in the balance sheet, and certain commissions allowed by reinsurers on ceded business are deferred and amortized on a basis consistent with DAC.

Policyholder Dividend Liabilities. Under SAP, policyholder dividends are recognized when declared. Under U.S. GAAP, policyholder dividends are recognized over the term of the related policies.

Separate Accounts. Under SAP, separate account surplus created through the use of the CRVM, the VACARVM or other reserving methods is reported by the general account as an unsettled transfer from the separate account. The net change on such transfers is included as a part of the net gain from operations in the general account. This is not required under U.S. GAAP.

Separate accounts include certain non-unitized assets which primarily represent MVA fixed options of variable annuity contracts issued in various states. Under SAP, these contracts are accounted for in the separate account financial statements, while under U.S. GAAP, they are accounted for in the general account.

Deferred Income Taxes. Under SAP, statutory DTAs that are more likely than not to be realized are limited to: 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse by the end of the subsequent calendar year, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross DTA expected to be realized within a maximum three years of the reporting date or a maximum 15 percent of the capital and surplus excluding any net DTA, EDP equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of the remaining gross DTA that can be offset against existing gross DTLs. The remaining DTAs are non- admitted. Deferred taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under U.S. GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred taxes, all DTAs are recorded and a valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that some portion of the DTA will not be realized. Under SAP, income tax expense is based upon taxes currently payable. Changes in deferred taxes are reported in surplus and subject to admissibility limits. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in deferred taxes are recorded in income tax expense.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities. Under SAP, offsetting of assets and liabilities is not permitted when there are master netting agreements unless four requirements for valid right of offset are met. The requirements include 1) each of the two parties owes the other determinable amounts, 2) the reporting party has the right to set off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, 3) the reporting party intends to set off, and 4) the right of setoff is enforceable. The prohibition against offsetting extends to derivatives and collateral posted against derivative positions, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. Under U.S. GAAP, these amounts under master netting arrangements may be offset and presented on a net basis.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of bonds and equity securities in an unrealized loss position was 660 and 2,181, respectively. Bonds comprised 656 of the total of which 157 were in a continuous loss position greater than 12 months at December 31, 2019. Bonds comprised 2,177 of the total of which 799 were in a continuous loss position greater than 12 months at December 31, 2018.

The Company did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because the Company neither intends to sell the securities nor does the Company believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, the Company performed fundamental credit analyses on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, expected defaults on underlying collateral, review of relevant industry analyst reports and forecasts and other available market data.

At December 31, 2019, the Company's bond portfolio included bonds totaling $1.3 billion not rated investment grade by the NAIC designations (categories 3-6). These bonds accounted for 3 percent of the Company's total assets and 5 percent of invested assets. These below investment grade securities, excluding structured securities, span across 15 industries. At December 31, 2018, the Company's bond portfolio included bonds totaling $2.6 billion not rated investment grade by the NAIC designations (categories 3-6).

LBaSS

The Company determines fair value of LBaSS based on the amount at which a security could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The majority of the Company's ABS, RMBS, CMBS, and collateralized debt obligations (CDO) are priced by approved independent third-party valuation service providers and broker dealer quotations. Small portions of the LBaSS that are not traded in active markets are priced by market standard internal valuation methodologies, which include discounted cash flow methodologies and matrix pricing. The estimated fair values are based on available market information and management's judgments.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had exposure to a variety of LBaSS. These securities could have significant concentrations of credit risk by country, geographical region, property type, servicer or other characteristics. As part of the quarterly surveillance process, the Company takes into account many of these characteristics in making the OTTI assessment.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any LBaSS with a recognized OTTI due to the intent to sell or an inability or lack of intent to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis.

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized total OTTI of $8.1 million, $15 million and $17 million, respectively, on LBaSS that were still held by the Company. In addition, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company held loan-backed impaired securities (fair value is less than cost or amortized cost) for which an OTTI had not been recognized in earnings as a realized loss. Such impairments include securities with a recognized OTTI for non-interest (credit) related declines that were recognized in earnings, but for which an associated interest-related decline has not been recognized in earnings as a realized capital loss.

In its OTTI assessment, the Company considers all information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past history, current conditions and reasonable forecasts when developing an estimate of future cash flows. Relevant analyst reports and forecasts for the asset class also receive appropriate consideration. The Company also considers how credit enhancements affect the expected performance of the security. In addition, the Company generally considers its cash and working capital requirements and expected cash flows in relation to its business plans and how such forecasts affect the intent and ability to hold such securities to recovery of their amortized cost.

The Company does not have any LBaSS for which it is not practicable to estimate fair values.

During 2019, the Company derecognized $15 million mortgage loans and recognized $15 million real estate collateral as a result of foreclosure.

The mortgage loan portfolio has been originated by the Company under strict underwriting standards. Commercial mortgage loans on properties such as offices, hotels and shopping centers generally represent a higher level of risk than do mortgage loans secured by multi-family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the larger size of such loans and the more immediate effects of general economic conditions on these commercial property types. However, due to the Company's strict underwriting standards, the Company believes that it has prudently managed the risk attributable to its mortgage loan portfolio while maintaining attractive yields.

Unconventionally high initial loan-to-value ratios;

Low initial payments based on a fixed introductory rate that expires after a short initial period, then adjusts to a variable index rate plus a margin for the remaining term of the loan;

Borrowers with less than conventional documentation of their income and/or net assets;

Very high or no limits on how much the payment amount or the interest rate may increase at reset periods, potentially causing a substantial increase in the monthly payment amount; and/or,

Substantial prepayment penalties and/or prepayment penalties that extend beyond the initial interest rate adjustment period.

Non-agency RMBS can belong to one of several different categories depending on the characteristics of the borrower, the property and the loan used to finance the property. Categorization is a function of FICO score, the type of loan, loan-to-value ratio, and property type and loan documentation.

Generally, subprime loans are made to borrowers with low FICO scores, low levels of equity and reduced income/asset documentation. Due to these characteristics, subprime borrowers pay a substantially higher interest rate than prime borrowers. In addition, they often utilize mortgage products that reduce their monthly payments in the near-term. These include adjustable-rate mortgages with low initial rates or interest-only loans. Borrowers in products like this often experience significant "payment shock" when the teaser payment resets upwards after the initial fixed period.

The primary classification mechanism the Company uses for subprime loans is FICO score. Specifically, a pool with an average FICO at origination less than 650 is considered to be subprime. However, the Company may subjectively adjust this classification based on an assessment of the other parameters mentioned above.

To monitor subprime securities, the Company uses a model with vintage-specific assumptions for delinquency roll rates, loss severities and the timing of losses. As and when needed, these vintage-based assumptions are supplemented with deal-specific information including, but not limited to, geographic distribution, realized loss severities, trigger status and scenario analysis.

The Company has no direct exposure through investments in subprime mortgage loans. The Company's exposure is through other investments, primarily in RMBS, as described above.

7. DERIVATIVES

The Company has taken positions in certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate or hedge the impact of changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, equity markets, swap spreads, volatility, correlations and yield curve risk on cash flows from investment income, policyholder liabilities and equity. Financial instruments used by the Company for such purposes include interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, cross-currency swaps, futures and futures options on equity indices, and futures and futures options on government securities. The Company does not engage in the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes and is neither a dealer nor trader in derivative instruments.

All derivative instruments are recognized in the financial statements. The Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, derivatives are accounted for at fair value and the changes in the fair value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes. The value of the Company's exchange traded futures contracts relates to the one day lag in the net cash settlement of these contracts.

The Company recognized a net unrealized capital gain of $67 million in 2019, unrealized capital gain of $80 million in 2018 and unrealized capital loss of $71 million in 2017, related to derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Refer to Note 3 for disclosures related to net realized capital gains (losses).

Swaps, Options, and Futures

Interest rate or cross-currency swap agreements are agreements to exchange with a counterparty, at specified intervals, payments of differing character (for example, variable-rate payments exchanged for fixed-rate payments) or in different currencies, based on an underlying principal balance, notional amount. Generally no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counterparty at each contractual payment due date, and this net payment is included in the Statutory Statement of Operations.

Options are contracts that grant the purchaser, for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, either to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. The Company purchases call options on the S&P 500 Index to offset the risk of certain guarantees of specific equity-index annuity and universal life policy values. The Company also purchases put options on the S&P 500 Index to offset volatility risk arising from minimum guarantees embedded in variable annuities. The options are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in unrealized investment gains and losses.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Financial futures are contracts between two parties that commit one party to purchase and the other to sell a particular commodity or financial instrument at a price determined on the final settlement day of the contract. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset; they are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Some futures contracts may call for physical delivery of the asset, while others are settled in cash. The Company uses futures contracts on Euro dollar deposits, U.S. Treasury Notes, U.S. Treasury Bonds, the S&P 500 Index, MidCap 400, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, foreign government debt securities, and foreign denominated equity indices to offset the risk of certain guarantees on annuity policy values.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate derivatives are used to manage interest rate risk associated with certain guarantees of variable annuities and equity indexed annuities and certain bonds. The Company's interest rate hedging derivative instruments include

(1)interest rate swaps and swaptions; (2) listed futures on government securities; and (3) listed futures options on government securities.

Currency Risk

Foreign exchange contracts used by the Company include cross-currency swaps, which are used to reduce risks from changes in currency exchange rates with respect to investments denominated in foreign currencies that the Company holds.

Equity Risk

Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. For over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, the Company's net credit exposure is determined based on master netting agreements, which take into consideration all derivative positions with the counterparty, as well as collateral posted by the counterparty at the balance sheet date. The Company is exposed to credit risk when the net position with a particular counterparty results in an asset that exceeds collateral pledged by that counterparty.

For OTC contracts, the Company generally uses an International Swaps and Derivative Association Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) and Credit Support Annexes with bilateral collateral provisions to reduce counterparty credit exposures. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between two counterparties, which may cover multiple derivative transactions and such ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all or a specified group of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral, through a single payment, in a single currency, in the event of a default affecting any one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all or a specified group of the transactions. The Company minimizes the risk that counterparties might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and may require additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. In the unlikely event of a failure to perform by any of the counterparties to these derivative transactions, there would not be a material effect on the Company's admitted assets, liabilities or capital and surplus.

The Company has also entered into exchange-traded options and futures contracts. Under exchange-traded futures contracts, the Company agrees to purchase a specified number of contracts with other parties and to post or receive variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The parties with whom the Company enters into exchange-traded futures are regulated futures commission merchants who are members of a trading exchange. The credit risk of exchange-traded futures is partially mitigated because variation margin is settled daily in cash. Exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to daily margin settlements and amounts due to the Company based upon favorable movements in the underlying securities or indices are owed upon exercise.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

The Company carries certain financial instruments at fair value. The Company defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company is responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions.

The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable valuation inputs. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of valuation inputs:

Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that the Company has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, the Company must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Bonds: Fair value is based principally on value from independent third-party valuation service providers, broker quotes and other independent information.

Preferred stocks: Fair value of unaffiliated preferred stocks is based principally on value from independent third-party service providers, broker quotes and other independent information.

Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments: Carrying amount approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between origination and expected realization and their limited exposure to credit risk.

Mortgage loans: Fair values are primarily determined by discounting future cash flows to the present at current market rates, using expected prepayment rates.

36

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Contract loans: Carrying amounts, which approximate fair value, are generally equal to unpaid principal amount as of each reporting date. No consideration is given to credit risk because contract loans are effectively collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policies.

Securities lending reinvested collateral assets: Securities lending assets are generally invested in short-term investments and thus carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the relatively short period of time between origination and expected realizations.

Separate account assets: Variable annuity and variable universal life assets are carried at the market value of the underlying securities. Certain separate account assets related to market value adjustment fixed annuity contracts are carried at book value. Fair value is based principally on the value from independent third-party valuation service providers, broker quotes and other independent information.

Policy reserves and contractual liabilities: Fair value for investment contracts (those without significant mortality risk) not accounted for at fair value were estimated for disclosure purposes using discounted cash flow calculations based upon interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. When no similar contracts are being offered, the discount rate is the appropriate swap rates (if available) or current risk-free interest rates consistent with the currency in which cash flows are denominated.

Payable for securities lending: Cash collateral received from the securities lending program is invested in short-term investments and the offsetting liability is included in payable for securities lending. The carrying amount of this liability approximates fair value because of the relatively short period between origination of the liability and expected settlement.

Receivables/payables for securities: Such amounts represent transactions of a short-term nature for which the statement value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Bonds

Bonds with NAIC 6 or 6* designations and preferred stocks with NAIC 4, 5 or 6 designations are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever available, the Company obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure bonds at fair value. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets.

The Company estimates the fair value of securities not traded in active markets, by referring to traded securities with similar attributes, using dealer quotations, a matrix pricing methodology, discounted cash flow analyses or internal valuation models. This methodology considers such factors as the issuer's industry, the security's rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For bonds that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

38

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Fair values for bonds and preferred stocks based on observable market prices for identical or similar instruments implicitly include the incorporation of counterparty credit risk. Fair values for bonds and preferred stocks based on internal models incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable information.

Common Stocks (Unaffiliated)

Whenever available, the Company obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure equity securities at fair value. Market price data is generally obtained from exchanges or dealer markets.

Freestanding Derivatives

Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded OTC. The Company generally values exchange- traded derivatives, such as futures and options, using quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet date.

OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other observable market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. The Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models can require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.

Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. When the Company does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model using market transactions, the transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company updates valuation inputs when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, independent third-party valuation services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

Separate Account Assets

Separate account assets are comprised primarily of registered and open-ended variable funds that trade daily and are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Certain separate account assets are carried at amortized cost.

Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data or when the asset is no longer carried at fair value. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant inputs becoming observable or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and thus observable. Transfers out of level 3 can also occur due to favorable credit migration resulting in a higher NAIC designation. Securities are generally transferred into Level 3 due to a decrease in market transparency, downward credit migration and an overall increase in price disparity for certain individual security types. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and out at the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value.

In both 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized capital gains (losses) on instruments held at December 31, 2019 and 2018 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable inputs (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The Company had no quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements to report at December 31, 2019.

11. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

Separate Accounts

The separate accounts held by the Company consist primarily of variable annuities. These contracts generally are non- guaranteed in nature such that the benefit is determined by the performance and/or market value of the investments held in the separate account. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative.

Certain other separate accounts relate to MVA fixed annuity contracts in which the assets are carried at amortized cost. These policies are required to be held in the Company's separate account by certain states, including Texas.

The Company does not engage in securities lending transactions within the separate accounts.

In accordance with the products/transactions recorded within the separate account, some assets are considered legally insulated whereas others are not legally insulated from the general account. The legal insulation of the separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.

The following table presents separate account assets by product or transaction:

Certain separate accounts relate to experience-rated group annuity contracts that fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one quarter only, where the guaranteed interest rate is re-established each quarter based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest rate be less than 3 percent. There are guarantees of principal and interest for purposes of plan participant transactions (e.g., participant-directed withdrawals and fund transfers done at market value). The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at the quoted market value of the underlying assets. This business has been included in Column 1 of the table below.

There was no separate account business seed money at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

12. RESERVES FOR GUARANTEED POLICY BENEFITS AND ENHANCEMENTS

Variable annuity contracts may include certain contractually guaranteed benefits to the contract holder. These guaranteed features include GMDB that are payable in the event of death, and living benefits that are payable in the event of annuitization, or, in other instances, at specified dates during the accumulation period. Living benefits include guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) and, to a lesser extent, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (GMAB), which are no longer offered. A variable annuity contract may include more than one type of guaranteed benefit feature; for example, it may have both a GMDB and a GMWB. However, a policyholder generally can only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract containing a death benefit and a living benefit, i.e. the features are mutually exclusive. A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living benefit on one contract. The net amount at risk for each feature is calculated irrespective of the existence of other features; as a result, the net amount at risk for each feature is not additive to that of other features.

Reserves for GMDB and GMWB were included in the VACARVM reserves. Total reserves in excess of basic reserves were $28 million and $56 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

GMDB

Depending on the product, the GMDB feature may provide a death benefit of either (a) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return or (b) the highest contract value attained, typically on any anniversary date minus any subsequent withdrawals following the contract anniversary.

The net amount at risk, which represents the guaranteed benefit exposure in excess of the current account value if death claims were filed on all contracts related to GMDB, was $307 million and $520 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

GMWB

Certain of the Company's variable annuity contracts offer optional GMWB. With a GMWB, the contract holder can monetize the excess of the guaranteed amount over the account value of the contract only through a series of withdrawals that do not exceed a specific percentage per year of the guaranteed amount. If, after the series of withdrawals, the account value is exhausted, the contract holder will receive a series of annuity payments equal to the remaining guaranteed amount, and, for lifetime GMWB products, the annuity payments continue as long as the covered person(s) are living.

The net amount at risk for GMWB represents the present value of minimum guaranteed withdrawal payments, in accordance with contract terms, in excess of account value. The net amount at risk related to this benefit was $145 million and $321 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company uses derivative instruments and other financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the exposure that arises from GMWB.

13. REINSURANCE

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, policy reserves on reinsurance assumed were $100 million and $103 million, respectively.

The Company has modified coinsurance and coinsurance reinsurance agreements with MetLife in Japan, pertaining to certain policies written via its branch in Japan. Under the agreements, the Company assumes liability for a quota share portion of contracts issued by MetLife in Japan that include GMIB and GMWB. The contracts assumed also include a GMDB provision. The GMIB (prior to its utilization date), GMWB and the GMDB have a 100 percent quota share and are assumed under coinsurance agreements. The GMIB (after its utilization date) has a 100 percent quota share and is assumed under the modified coinsurance provisions. The benefits provided by the reinsured contracts are assumed with a 50 percent quota share and varied quota share under the modified coinsurance agreements. The agreements are unlimited in duration, but were terminated for new business after March 31, 2009.

The Company calculates total policy reserves for contracts assumed by MetLife in Japan pursuant to AG 43, which includes all assumed GMIB, GMWB and GMDB benefits. MetLife in Japan holds a modified coinsurance reserve for the contracts under the agreements. The Company holds a reserve equal to the excess, if any, of the AG 43 reserve above the modified coinsurance reserve.

In February 2018, VALIC and its U.S. life insurance company affiliates, American General Life Insurance Company and The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, each executed their respective Modified Coinsurance (ModCo) Agreements (The Agreements) with Fortitude Reinsurance Company, Ltd (FRL), (formerly DSA Reinsurance Company Limited), at the time a wholly owned AIG subsidiary and registered Class 4 and Class E reinsurer in Bermuda. The Agreements were effective as of January 1, 2017 in respect of certain closed blocks of business (including structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities). Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC (Fortitude Holdings) was formed by AIG to act as a holding company for FRL.

The initial consideration represented the book value of ModCo Assets held by the Company on behalf of FRL and was equal to the ModCo Reserves ceded at the effective date. While there was no net impact from the initial accounting as of the effective date, there was a significant offsetting impact on certain individual line items in the Summary of Operations.

Total returns on the ModCo Assets subsequent to the effective date inure to the benefit of FRL and are reported with the ModCo reserve adjustments. The Company did not receive a ceding commission at contract inception.

The Company completed its initial settlement with FRL in June 2018 and settles all payable or receivable balances quarterly.

On November 13, 2018, AIG completed the sale of a 19.9 percent ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings to TC Group Cayman Investment Holdings, L.P. (TCG), an affiliate of The Carlyle Group L.P. Subsequent to this sale, Fortitude Holdings owns 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of FRL and AIG has an 80.1 percent ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings.

On November 25, 2019, AIG entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Fortitude Holdings, The Carlyle Group L.P. (Carlyle), Carlyle FRL, L.P., an investment fund advised by an affiliate of Carlyle (Carlyle FRL), T&D United Capital Co., Ltd. (T&D) and T&D Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Carlyle FRL will purchase from AIG a 51.6 percent ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings and T&D will purchase from AIG a 25 percent ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings. Upon closing of the Fortitude Sale, AIG will have a 3.5 percent ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings. Additional information about this transaction is set forth in AIG's Parent 10-K for year ending December 31, 2019.

14. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

U.S. Tax Reform Overview

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted Public Law 115-97, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Tax Act"). The Tax Act reduced the statutory rate of U.S. federal corporate income tax to 21 percent and enacted numerous other changes impacting the Company.

The Tax Act includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations and for Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), under which taxes are imposed on certain base eroding payments to affiliated foreign companies. While the U.S. tax authorities issued formal guidance, including recently issued proposed and final regulations for BEAT and other provisions of the Tax Act, there are still certain aspects of the Tax Act that remain unclear and subject to substantial uncertainties. Additional guidance is expected in future periods. Such guidance may result in changes to the interpretations and assumptions the Company made and actions the Company may take, which may impact amounts recorded with respect to international provisions of the Tax Act, possibly materially. Consistent with accounting guidance, the Company treats BEAT as a period tax charge in the period the tax is incurred and has made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes in a similar manner. No provision for income tax related to GILTI or BEAT was recorded as of December 31, 2019.

In general, realization of DTAs depends on a company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward periods in the jurisdictions in which the net operating losses and deductible temporary differences were incurred. In accordance with the requirements established in SSAP 101, the Company assessed its ability to realize DTAs of $726 million and concluded that no valuation allowance was required at December 31, 2019.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Similarly, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance of $54 million was required on the DTAs of $543 million at December 31, 2018.

The Company had no deposits admitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 6603.

The Company joins in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with AIG Parent.

The Company has a written agreement with AIG Parent under which each subsidiary agrees to pay AIG Parent an amount equal to the consolidated federal income tax expense multiplied by the ratio that the subsidiary's separate return tax liability bears to the consolidated tax liability, plus one hundred percent of the excess of the subsidiary's separate return tax liability over the allocated consolidated tax liability. AIG Parent agrees to pay each subsidiary for the tax benefits, if any, of net operating losses, net capital losses and tax credits which are not usable by the subsidiary but which are used by other members of the consolidated group.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties:

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $17 million.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expenses. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had accrued $5 million and $4 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. In both 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized expense of less than $1 million of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties.

The Company regularly evaluates proposed adjustments by taxing authorities. At December 31, 2019, such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a material change to the Company's financial condition, although it is possible that the effect could be material to the Company's results of operations for an individual reporting period. Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months, based on the information currently available, the Company does not expect any change to be material to its financial condition.

The Company is currently under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination for the taxable years 2007-2013. Although the final outcome of possible issues raised in any future examination are uncertain, the Company believes that the ultimate liability, including interest, will not materially exceed amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company's taxable years 2001-2019 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

The Company is not subject to the repatriation transition tax for the year ended December 31, 2019.

15. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS

RBC standards are designed to measure the adequacy of an insurer's statutory capital and surplus in relation to the risks inherent in its business. The RBC standards consist of formulas that establish capital requirements relating to asset, insurance, business and interest rate risks. The standards are intended to help identify companies that are under-capitalized, and require specific regulatory actions in the event an insurer's RBC is deficient. The RBC formula develops a risk-adjusted target level of adjusted statutory capital and surplus by applying certain factors to various asset, premium and reserve items. Higher factors are applied to more risky items and lower factors are applied to less risky items. Thus, the target level of statutory surplus varies not only because of the insurer's size, but also on the risk profile of the insurer's operations. At December 31, 2019, the Company exceeded RBC requirements that would require any regulatory action.

Dividends that the Company may pay to the Parent in any year without prior approval of the TDI are limited by statute. The maximum amount of dividends in a twelve-month period, measured retrospectively from the date of payment, which the Company can pay without obtaining the prior approval of the TDI is limited to the greater of: (1) 10 percent of the Company's statutory surplus as regards to policyholders at the preceding December 31; or (2) the Company's preceding year's statutory net gain from operations. Additionally, unless prior approval of the TDI is obtained, dividends can only be paid out of unassigned surplus. Subject to the TDI requirements, the maximum dividend payout that may be made in 2020 without prior approval of the TDI is $361 million. Dividend payments in excess of positive retained earnings were classified and reported as a return of capital.

Dividends are paid as determined by the Board of Directors and are noncumulative. The following table presents the dividends paid by the Company during 2019, 2018 and 2017:

16. RETIREMENT PLANS AND SHARE-BASED AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company does not directly sponsor any defined benefit or defined contribution plans and does not participate in any multi-employer plans.

Employee Retirement Plan

The Company's employees participate in various AIG Parent-sponsored defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. AIG Parent, as sponsor, is ultimately responsible for the maintenance of these plans in compliance with applicable laws. The Company is not directly liable for obligations under these plans; its obligation results from AIG Parent's allocation of the Company's share of expenses from the plans based on participants' earnings for the pension plans and on estimated claims less contributions from participants for the postretirement plans.

Effective January 1, 2016, the U.S. defined benefit pension plans were frozen. Consequently, these plans are closed to new participants and current participants no longer earn benefits. However, interest credits continue to accrue on the existing cash balance accounts and participants are continuing to accrue years of service for purposes of vesting and early retirement eligibility and subsidies as they continue to be employed by AIG Parent and its subsidiaries.

The following table presents information about employee-related costs (expense credits) allocated to the Company:

Defined Contribution Plan

AIG Parent sponsors a 401(k) plan which provides for pre-tax salary reduction contributions by its U.S. employees. The Company made matching contributions of 100 percent of the first six percent of participant contributions, subject to IRS- imposed limitations.

Effective January 1, 2016, AIG Parent provides participants in the plan an additional fully vested, non-elective, non- discretionary employer contribution equal to three percent of the participant's annual base compensation for the plan year, paid each pay period regardless of whether the participant currently contributes to the plan, and subject to the IRS-imposed limitations.

The Company's pre-tax expense associated with this plan were $20 million, $19 million and $18 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Share-based and Deferred Compensation Plans

During 2016 and 2015, certain Company employees were granted performance share units under the AIG Parent 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan that provide them the opportunity to receive shares of AIG Parent common stock base on AIG Parent achieving specified performance goals at the end of a three-year performance period and the employee satisfies service requirements. The Company recognized compensation expense of $9 million for 2019. The Company recognized compensation expense of $8 million per year for 2018 and 2017.

Prior to 2013, some of the Company's officers and key employees were granted restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights that provide for cash settlement linked to the value of AIG Parent common stock if certain requirements were met. The Company recognized an expense under $1 million for unsettled awards during both 2019 and 2018.

17. DEBT

The Company is a member of the FHLB of Dallas.

Membership with the FHLB provides the Company with collateralized borrowing opportunities, primarily as an additional source of liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. The Company's ownership in the FHLB stock is reported as common stock. Pursuant to the membership terms, the Company elected to pledge such stock to the FHLB as collateral for the Company's obligations under agreements entered into with the FHLB.

Cash advances obtained from the FHLB are reported in and accounted for as borrowed money. The Company may periodically obtain cash advances on a same-day basis, up to a limit determined by management and applicable laws. The Company is required to pledge certain mortgage-backed securities, government and agency securities and other qualifying assets to secure advances obtained from the FHLB. To provide adequate collateral for potential advances, the Company has pledged securities to the FHLB in excess of outstanding borrowings. Upon any event of default by the Company, the recovery by the FHLB would generally be limited to the amount of the Company's liability under advances borrowed.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company had commitments to provide funding to various limited partnerships totaling $600 million and $206 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The commitments to invest in limited partnerships and other funds are called at the discretion of each fund, as needed and subject to the provisions of such fund's governing documents, for funding new investments, follow-on investments and/or fees and other expenses of the fund. Of the total commitments at December 31, 2019, $272 million are currently expected to expire in 2020 and the remainder by 2023, based on the expected life cycle of the related fund, and the Company's historical funding trends for such commitments.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $325 million and $281 million, respectively, of outstanding commitments related to various funding obligations associated with its investments in commercial mortgage loans. Of the total current commitments, $88 million are expected to expire in 2020 and the remainder by 2025, based on the expected life cycle of the related loans, and the Company's historical funding trends for such commitments.

The Company has various long-term, noncancelable operating leases, primarily for office space and equipment, which expire at various dates over the next several years. At December 31, 2019, the future minimum lease payments under the operating leases are as follows:

Contingencies

Legal Matters

Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes it is unlikely that contingent liabilities arising from such lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Regulatory Matters

All fifty states and the District of Columbia have laws requiring solvent life insurance companies, through participation in guaranty associations, to pay assessments to protect the interests of policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies. These state insurance guaranty associations generally levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on member insurers in a particular state based on the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer is engaged. Such assessments are used to pay certain contractual insurance benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed insurers. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets. The Company accrues liabilities for guaranty fund assessments when an assessment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the liability using the latest information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. While the Company cannot predict the amount and timing of any future guaranty fund assessments, the Company has established reserves it believes are adequate for assessments relating to insurance companies that are currently subject to insolvency proceedings.

55

 

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company had accrued $8 million for these guarantee fund assessments at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company had receivables of $3 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, for expected recoveries against the payment of future premium taxes.

The Company is not subject to the risk-sharing provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

Various federal, state or other regulatory agencies may from time to time review, examine or inquire into the operations, practices and procedures of the Company, such as through financial examinations, subpoenas, investigations, market conduct exams or other regulatory inquiries. Based on the current status of pending regulatory examinations, investigations, and inquiries involving the Company, the Company believes it is not likely that these regulatory examinations or inquiries will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The Company provides products and services that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue Code). Plans subject to ERISA include certain pension and profit sharing plans and welfare plans, including health, life and disability plans. As a result, the Company's activities are subject to the restrictions imposed by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, including the requirement under ERISA that fiduciaries must perform their duties solely in the interests of ERISA plan participants and beneficiaries, and that, fiduciaries may not cause a covered plan to engage in certain prohibited transactions.

The Company and its distributors are subject to laws and regulations regarding the standard of care applicable to sales of its products and the provision of advice to its customers. In recent years, many of these laws and regulations have been revised or reexamined while others have been newly adopted. The Company continues to closely follow these legislative and regulatory activities. Changes in standard of care requirements or new standards issued by governmental authorities, such as the DOL, the SEC, the NAIC or state regulators and/or legislators, may affect the Company's businesses, results of operations and financial condition. While the Company cannot predict the long-term impact of these legislative and regulatory developments on the Company's business, the Company believes its diverse product offerings and distribution relationships position the Company to compete effectively in this evolving marketplace.

The SECURE Act (Setting Every Community Up for a Retirement Enhancement Act) includes a number of provisions aimed at increasing retirement savings, including repealing the maximum age for traditional IRA contributions, increasing the age for required minimum distributions from retirement accounts and incentivizing small businesses to start new retirement plans for employees. SECURE Act was signed into law as part of broader federal legislation on December 20, 2019, with many provisions effective January 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the full impact of the SECURE Act on its businesses and operations and will implement and/or modify processes and procedures, where needed, to comply with this new law.

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Events Related to AIG Parent

Selkirk Transactions

During 2013 and 2014, the Company entered into securitization transactions in which portfolios of the Company's commercial mortgage loans were transferred to special purpose entities, with the Company retaining a significant beneficial interest in the securitized loans. As consideration for the transferred loans, the Company received beneficial interests in certain special purpose entities and cash proceeds from the securitized notes issued to third party investors by other special purpose entities. The transfer was accounted for as a sale and the Company derecognized the commercial mortgage loans transferred. The beneficial interests in loan-backed and structured securities and equity interests received by the Company were initially recognized at fair value as unaffiliated investments, as these securities are non-recourse to the issuer, and interest and principal payments are dependent upon the cash flows from the underlying unaffiliated mortgage loans.

Lighthouse VI

During 2013, the Company, along with an affiliate, executed three transactions in which a portfolio of securities was, in each transaction, transferred into a newly established Common Trust Fund (CTF) in exchange for proportionate interests in all assets within each CTF as evidenced by specific securities controlled by and included within the Company's Representative Security Account (RSA).

In each transaction, a portion of the Company's securities were transferred to the RSA of the affiliate, AGL, in exchange for other AGL securities.

Ambrose

During 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company entered into securitization transactions in which the Company transferred portfolios of high grade corporate securities, and structured securities acquired from AIG, to newly formed special purpose entities (the Ambrose entities). As consideration for the transferred securities, the Company received beneficial interests in tranches of structured securities issued by each Ambrose entity. These structured securities were designed to closely replicate the interest and principal amortization payments of the transferred securities.

The Ambrose entities received capital commitments from a non-U.S. subsidiary of AIG, which are guaranteed by AIG. Pursuant to these capital commitments, the promissor will contribute funds to the respective Ambrose entity upon demand.

These capital commitments received by the Ambrose entities range from $200 million to $400 million per entity.

American Home Guarantee

The Company has a General Guarantee Agreement with American Home Assurance Company (American Home), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG Parent. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, American Home has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed insurance policies that the Company issued between March 3, 2003 and December 29, 2006. American Home's audited statutory financial statements are filed with the SEC in the Company's registration statements for variable products that are subject to the Guarantee.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company purchased or sold securities, at fair market value, from or to one or more of its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. For additional information regarding purchase and sale transactions involving the Company with an affiliate, please refer to the Company's Annual Registration Statement and monthly amendments filed with the TDI.

In January 2019, VALIC and several of its U.S. insurance company affiliates established AIGGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund III, LP ("U.S. Fund III"), a real estate investment fund managed by AIGGRE. At the closing of U.S. Fund III on January 2, 2019, the Company made a capital commitment to the fund of up to $296 million, which represents approximately 19.7% equity interests in the fund. In connection with the closing of U.S. Fund III, the Company contributed to the fund its interests in certain real estate equity investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $63.6 million and received a cash payment of approximately $16.8 million. The Company's unfunded capital commitment to U.S. Fund III upon closing of the fund was approximately $249.2 million.

In March 2019, the Company and several of its U.S. insurance company affiliates established AIGGRE Europe Real Estate Fund II, LP ("Europe Fund II), a real estate investment fund managed by AIGGRE. In connection with the closing of Europe Fund II, the Company made a capital commitment to the fund of up to $100.4 million (representing an approximately 21.7% equity interest therein), and contributed to the fund the Company's interests in certain real estate equity investments (with an aggregate fair value of approximately $20.6 million) and received a cash payment from the fund (approximately $12.8 million). The Company's unfunded capital commitment to Europe Fund II upon closing of the fund was approximately $92.5 million.

In 2018, the Company and several of its U.S. insurance company affiliates restructured their respective ownership interests in certain real estate equity investments previously originated by an affiliate, AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corp. (including its investment management affiliates, "AIGGRE"), by contributing such interests to three separate real estate investment funds managed by AIGGRE: AIGGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund I, LP ("U.S. Fund I"), AIGGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund II, LP ("U.S. Fund II" and, together with U.S. Fund I, the "U.S. Funds"), and AIGGRE Europe Real Estate Fund I S.C.SP ("Europe Fund I"). The U.S. Funds each closed on November 1, 2018. In connection with the closing of U.S. Fund I, the Company made a capital commitment to the fund of up to $36 million (representing approximately 3% equity interest therein), and contributed to the fund the Company's interests in certain real estate equity investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $66 million and received a cash payment from the fund of approximately $42 million. In connection with the closing of U.S. Fund II, the Company made a capital commitment to the fund of up to $108 million (representing approximately 4% equity interest therein), and contributed to the fund the Company's interests in certain real estate equity investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $148.9 million and received a cash payment from the fund of approximately $65.7 million. Further, Europe Fund I closed on November 2, 2018. In connection with the closing of Europe Fund I, the Company made a capital commitment to the fund of up to $19.6 million (representing approximately 3% equity interest therein) and contributed to the fund the Company's interests in certain real estate equity investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $19.2 million and received a cash payment from the fund of approximately $6.3 million.

As a result of these transactions, the Company received equity in the Funds equaling the fair value of the assets transferred. The transfer is accounted for at fair value with any gain deferred until permanence of transfer of risk and rewards can be established. Any loss is recognized immediately, if any. The difference between the carrying value of the assets transferred and consideration received is recorded as a basis difference, which will be admitted subject to applicable limits and amortized over the duration of the Funds.

At December 31, 2019, the Company's unfunded capital commitment to U.S. Fund I, U.S. Fund II, U.S Fund III, Europe Fund I and Europe Fund II were approximately $11.7 million, $16.7 million, $179.3 million, $5.5 million and $108.3 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2018, the Company's unfunded capital commitment to U.S. Fund I, U.S. Fund II and Europe Fund I were approximately $11.9 million, $23.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

In December 2018, The USL transferred bonds to the Company, with an aggregate fair market value of $210 million, in exchange for bonds, leveraged loans and cash of equivalent value. These exchanges were intended to better balance investment risks and returns between the Company and this affiliate.

In October 2017, the Company's subsidiary, AIG Home Loan 3, transferred a portfolio of U.S. residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of approximately $165 million to a newly formed special purpose vehicle. The transaction involved securitization of the transferred loans and the special purpose vehicle issued residential mortgage-backed securities. The residential mortgage-backed securities purchased by the Company from the special purpose vehicle are accounted for as non-affiliated securities and are valued and reported in accordance with the designation assigned by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office and SSAP 43 - Revised – Loan-Backed and Structured Securities.

In May 2017, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, AIG Home Loan 3, LLC, transferred certain residential mortgage loans (RMLs) to the Company as a return of capital distribution. The RMLs were recorded by the Company in the amount of $525 million, which was the loans' adjusted carrying value at the time of transfer. Prior to the transfer, the RMLs were indirectly owned by the Company through its investment in AIG Home Loan 3, LLC, which was reported on Schedule BA. After the transfer, the RMLs are directly owned by the Company and reported as Schedule B assets.

In February 2017, the Company purchased commercial mortgage loans from certain affiliated AIG domestic property casualty insurance companies for initial cash consideration totaling approximately $197 million, based on the outstanding principal balance of each loan, which was ultimately trued up to fair value based on underlying property appraisals and valuations.

In January and February 2017, the Company purchased investment grade private placement bonds from certain affiliated AIG domestic property casualty insurance companies, at fair market value, for cash consideration totaling approximately $220 million.

Financing Agreements

On January 1, 2015, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered into a revolving loan facility with AIG Parent, in which the Company and each such affiliate can borrow monies from AIG Parent subject to certain terms and conditions. Principal amounts borrowed under this facility may be repaid and re-borrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without penalty. However, the total aggregate amount of loans borrowed by all borrowers under the facility cannot exceed $500 million. The loan facility also sets forth individual borrowing limits for each borrower, with the Company's maximum borrowing limit being $500 million.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any amounts outstanding under the facility.

Operating Agreements

Pursuant to service and expense agreements, AIG and affiliates provide, or cause to be provided, administrative, marketing, investment management, accounting, occupancy, and data processing services to the Company. The allocation of costs for services is based generally on estimated levels of usage, transactions or time incurred in providing the respective services. Generally, these agreements provide for the allocation of costs upon either the specific identification basis or a proportional cost allocation basis which management believes to be reasonable. In all cases, billed amounts pursuant to these agreements do not exceed the cost to AIG or the affiliate providing the service. The Company was charged $390 million, $332 million and $291 million as part of the cost sharing expenses attributed to the Company but incurred by AIG Parent and affiliates in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Pursuant to an amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the majority of the Company's invested assets are managed by an affiliate. The investment management fees incurred were $39 million in 2019, and $38 million in both 2018 and 2017.

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management considers events or transactions that occur after the reporting date, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosures. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 22, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued.

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The Coronavirus outbreak has resulted in increased economic uncertainty and volatility in both the debt and equity markets. Sufficient information is not available to adequately evaluate the short- term or long-term financial impact to the Company, however these economic conditions may adversely impact the Company's business operations and future financial condition.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of American Home Assurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of American Home Assurance Company (the "Company"), which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets and liabilities, capital and surplus as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statutory statements of operations and changes in capital and surplus, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1B to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Notes 1B and 1D and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers Center, 300 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017 T: (646) 471 3000, F: (813) 286 6000, www.pwc.com/us

 

 

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the "Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019.

Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services described in Note 1B.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Notes 1, 5, 6 and 7 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into significant transactions with certain affiliated entities. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

American Home Assurance Company

Statutory Basis Financial Statements

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

1.Organization and Summary of Significant Statutory Basis Accounting Policies

A.Basis of Organization and Presentation

Organization

American Home Assurance Company ("the Company" or "American Home") is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG Property Casualty U.S., Inc. ("AIG PC US"), a Delaware corporation, which is in turn owned by AIG Property Casualty Inc. ("AIG PC"), a Delaware corporation. The Company's ultimate parent is American International Group, Inc. (the "Ultimate Parent" or "AIG"). AIG conducts its property and casualty operations through multiple line companies writing substantially all commercial (casualty, property, specialty and financial liability) and consumer (accident & health and personal lines) insurance both domestically and abroad.

The Company is party to an inter-company pooling agreement (the "Combined Pooling Agreement"), among the twelve companies listed below, collectively named the Combined Pool. Effective January 1, 2017, the Combined Pooling Agreement was amended and restated among the twelve member companies.

The member companies of the Combined Pool, their National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") company codes, inter-company pooling participation percentages under the Combined Pooling Agreement and states of domicile are as follows:

Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the Combined Pool and the effects of the changes in the intercompany pooling arrangements (the "2017 Pooling Restructure Transaction").

The Company accepts commercial business primarily through a network of independent retail and wholesale brokers and through independent agency networks. In addition, the Company accepts consumer business primarily through agents and brokers, as well as through direct marketing and partner organizations. There were no Managing Agents or Third Party Administrators who placed direct written premium with the Company in an amount exceeding more than 5.0 percent of surplus of the Company for the years ending December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services ("NY SAP"). Certain balances relating to prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Additionally, the financial statements include the Company's U.S. operations, its Dubai, Caribbean, Jamaica and Argentina branch operations and its participation in the American International Overseas Association (the "Association").

The Company's financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 have been presented in accordance with the terms of the Combined Pooling Agreement.

B.Permitted and Prescribed Practices

NY SAP recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services ("NY DFS") for determining and reporting the financial position and results of operations of an insurance company and for the purpose of determining its solvency under the New York Insurance Code. The NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles included within the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual ("NAIC SAP") have been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the NY DFS. The Superintendent of the NY DFS (the "Superintendent") has the right to permit other specific practices that differ from prescribed practices.

NY SAP has prescribed the practice of discounting workers' compensation known case loss reserves on a non-tabular basis. This practice is not prescribed under NAIC SAP.

For the affiliated loss portfolio transfer ("LPT") agreements entered into during 2018, the Company received permitted practices to present the consideration paid in relation to statutory reserves ceded to Fortitude Reinsurance Company Limited ("Fortitude Re") and Eaglestone Reinsurance Company ("Eaglestone") within paid losses rather than as premium written and earned. The classification change has no effect on net income or surplus. Refer to Note 5 for further details.

Accounting practices prescribed by the Insurance Department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ("PA SAP") provide for the availability of certain offsets in the calculation of the Provision for reinsurance, which offsets are not prescribed under NAIC SAP. The Company applied PA SAP with concurrence from the NY DFS to reflect the transfer of collection risk on certain of the Company's asbestos related reinsurance recoverable balances, to an authorized third party reinsurer, as another form of collateral acceptable to the Commissioner with respect to the reinsurance recoverable balance from the original reinsurers.

The Company applied a permitted practice to account for the retroactive aggregate excess of loss reinsurance arrangement entered into with National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., (the "ADC") as prospective reinsurance. However, any gain associated with the ADC has been reported in a segregated surplus account and does not form part of the Company's Unassigned surplus, subject to the applicable dividend restrictions; such amounts must be restricted in surplus until such time as payments received by NICO exceed premiums paid for the retrocession. For more information, see Note 7.

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

The use of the aforementioned permitted and prescribed practices has not affected the Company's ability to comply with the NY DFS's risk based capital ("RBC") and surplus requirements for the 2019, 2018 or 2017 reporting periods.

A reconciliation of the net income (loss) and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed or permitted by NY SAP is shown below:

Although the application of prospective reinsurance treatment to the ADC results in no overall changes to surplus, the permitted practice applied results in any gain being restricted and reported in segregated surplus and does not form part of the Company's Unassigned surplus.

C.Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The preparation of statutory financial statements in accordance with NY SAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. The Company's accounting policies that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:

Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") including estimates and recoverability of the related reinsurance assets;

Legal contingencies;;

Other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses on investments;

Fair value of certain financial assets, impacting those investments measured at fair value in the Statements of Admitted Assets and Liabilities, Capital and Surplus, as well as unrealized gains (losses) included in Capital and Surplus; and

Income tax assets and liabilities, including the recoverability and admissibility of net deferred tax assets and the predictability of future tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions, including some that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. It is reasonably possible that actual experience may materially differ from the assumptions used and therefore the Company's statutory financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

E.Significant Statutory Accounting Policies

Premiums

Premiums for insurance and reinsurance contracts are recorded as gross premiums written as of the effective date of the policy. Premiums are earned primarily on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related insurance coverage. Premiums collected prior to the effective date of the policy are recorded as advance premiums, reported as a liability and not considered income until due. Extended reporting endorsements are reflected as premiums written and are earned on a pro-rata basis over the stated term of the endorsement unless the term of the endorsement is indefinite in which case premiums are fully earned at inception of the endorsement along with the recognition of associated loss and LAE.

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

Unearned premium reserves are established on an individual policy basis, reflecting the terms and conditions of the coverage being provided. Unearned premium reserves represent the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of coverage as of the date of the financial statements. For policies with coverage periods equal to or greater than thirteen months and generally not subject to cancellation or modification by the Company, premiums are earned using a prescribed percentage of completion method. Additional unearned premium reserves for policies exceeding thirteen months are established as greater of three prescribed tests.

Reinsurance premiums are typically earned over the same period as the underlying policies, or risks, covered by the contracts. As a result, the earnings pattern of a reinsurance contract generally written for a 12-month term may extend up to 24 months, reflecting the inception dates of the underlying attaching policies throughout the 12-month period of the reinsurance contract. Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized as a reduction in revenues over the period reinsurance coverage is provided.

Insurance premiums billed and outstanding for 90 days or more are nonadmitted and charged against Unassigned surplus.

Premiums for retrospectively rated contracts are initially recorded based on the expected loss experience and are earned on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related insurance coverage. Additional or returned premium is recorded if the estimated loss experience differs from the initial estimate and is immediately recognized in earned premium. The Company records accrued retrospectively rated premiums as written premiums. Adjustments to premiums for changes in the level of exposure to insurance risk are generally determined based upon audits conducted after the policy expiration date.

Gross written premiums net of ceded written premiums ("Net written premiums") that were subject to retrospective rating features as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the admitted portion of accrued premiums related to the Company's retrospectively rated contracts were $490 and $511, respectively, which will be billed in future periods based primarily on the payment of the underlying expected losses and LAE. Unsecured amounts associated with these accrued retrospective premiums were $41 and $60 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Ten percent of the amount of accrued retrospective premiums receivable not offset by retrospective return premiums or other liabilities to the same party, other than loss and LAE reserves, or collateral (collectively referred to as the unsecured amount) have been nonadmitted in the amount of $6 and $10 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

High Deductible

The Company establishes loss reserves for high deductible policies net of the insured's contractual deductible (such deductibles are referred to as "reserve credits"). The Company establishes a nonadmitted asset for ten percent of paid losses recoverable in excess of collateral held on an individual insured basis, or for one hundred percent of paid losses recoverable where no collateral is held and amounts are outstanding for more than ninety days. Additionally, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for such paid losses recoverable in excess of collateral and after nonadmitted assets. Similarly, the Company does not recognize reserve credit offsets to its estimate of loss reserves where such credits are deemed uncollectible, as the Company ultimately bears credit risk on the underlying policies' insurance obligations.

Deposit Accounting

Direct insurance transactions where management determines there is insufficient insurance risk transfer are recorded as deposits unless the policy was issued (i) in respect of the insured's requirement for evidence of coverage pursuant to applicable statutes (insurance statutes or otherwise), contractual terms or normal business practices, (ii) in respect of an excess insurer's requirement for an underlying primary insurance policy in lieu of self-insurance, or (iii) in compliance with filed forms, rates and/or rating plans.

15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

 

American Home Assurance Company

Statutory Basis Financial Statements

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

Assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts which do not transfer a sufficient amount of insurance risk are recorded as deposits with the net consideration paid or received recognized as a deposit asset or liability, respectively. Deposit assets are admitted if (i) the assuming company is licensed, accredited or qualified by the PA DOI, or (ii) the collateral (i.e., funds withheld, letters of credit or trusts) provided by the reinsurer meets all the requirements of the NY SAP, as applicable. The deposit asset or liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect the actual payments made or received to date and expected future payments with a corresponding credit or charge to Other income (expense) in the Statements of Operations.

Deposit assets are recorded to Other assets within the Statements of Admitted Assets, refer to Note 11A. Deposit liabilities are recorded to Other liabilities within the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus, refer to Note 11B.

Premium Deficiency

The Company periodically reviews its expected ultimate losses with respect to its unearned premium reserves. A premium deficiency loss and related liability is established if the unearned premium reserves and related future investment income are collectively not sufficient to cover the expected ultimate loss projection. For purposes of premium deficiency tests, contracts are grouped in a manner consistent with how policies are marketed, serviced, and measured for the profitability of such contracts. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not incur any premium deficiency losses.

Retroactive Reinsurance

Reinsurance transactions involving the transfer of loss and LAE reserves associated with loss events that occurred prior to the effective date of the transfer are recorded as retroactive reinsurance and reported separately from Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. Initial pre-tax gains or losses are recorded in Retroactive reinsurance gain within the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus with surplus gains recorded as Special surplus funds from reinsurance which is a component of Capital and Surplus that is restricted from dividend payment. Amounts recorded in Special surplus funds from reinsurance are considered to be earned surplus (i.e., transferred to Unassigned surplus) only when, and to the extent that, cash recoveries from the assuming entity exceed the consideration paid by the ceding entity. Special surplus funds from retroactive reinsurance are maintained separately for each respective retroactive reinsurance agreement; Special surplus funds from retroactive reinsurance account write-in entry on the balance sheet is adjusted, upward or downward, to reflect any subsequent increase or reduction in reserves ceded. The reduction in the special surplus funds is limited to the lesser of amounts recovered by the Company in excess of consideration paid or the surplus gain in relation to such agreement.

To the extent that the transfer of loss and LAE reserves associated with loss events that occurred prior to the effective date of the transfer is between affiliated entities and neither entity records a gain or loss in surplus, the transaction qualifies as an exception in the NAIC SAP accounting guidance and is accounted for as prospective reinsurance.

Insurance Related Acquisition Costs

Commissions, premium taxes, and certain underwriting costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Other underwriting expenses. The Company records an unearned ceding commission accrual equal to the excess of the ceding commissions received from reinsurers compared to the anticipated acquisition cost of the business ceded. This amount is amortized as an increase to income over the effective period of the reinsurance agreement in proportion to the amount of insurance coverage provided.

Provisions for Allowances and Unauthorized or Overdue Reinsurance

The recoverability of certain assets, including insurance receivables with counterparties, is reviewed periodically by management. A minimum reserve, as required under the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions for Property and Casualty Companies for Schedule F–Provision for Overdue Reinsurance for uncollectible reinsurance is recorded with an additional reserve required if an entity's experience indicates that a higher amount should be provided. The minimum reserve is recorded as a liability and the change between years is recorded as a gain or loss directly to Unassigned fund (surplus) in the Statement of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. Any reserve over the minimum amount is recorded on the statement of operations by reversing the accounts previously utilized to establish the reinsurance recoverable. Various factors are taken into consideration when assessing the recoverability of these asset balances including: the age of the related amounts due and the nature of the unpaid balance; disputed balances, historical recovery rates and any significant decline in the credit standing of the counterparty. PA SAP is applied in the determination of the Company's Provision for reinsurance with concurrence from the NY DFS.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Reserves for case incurred but not reported ("IBNR") and LAE losses are determined on the basis of actuarial specialists' evaluations and other estimates, including historical loss experience. The methods of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting reserves are reviewed and updated based on available information, and any resulting adjustments are recorded in the current period. Accordingly, newly established reserves for losses and LAE, or subsequent changes, are charged to income as incurred. In the event of loss recoveries through reinsurance agreements, loss and LAE reserves are reported net of reinsurance amounts recoverable for unpaid losses and LAE. Losses and LAE ceded through reinsurance are netted against losses and LAE incurred. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsurance policy based upon the terms of the underlying contract. See Note 5 for further discussion of policies and methodologies for estimating the liabilities and losses.

Workers' compensation reserves are discounted in accordance with NY DFS statutes; see Note 5 for further details.

Salvage and subrogation recoverables are estimated using past experience adjusted for current trends, and any other factors that would modify past experience. Estimated salvage and subrogation recoveries (net of associated expenses) are deducted from the liability for unpaid claims or losses.

Structured Settlements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into structured settlements to settle certain claims. Structured settlements involve the purchase of an annuity by the Company, generally from life insurers, to fund future claim obligations. In the event the life insurers providing the annuity do not meet their obligations, the Company would, in certain cases, become liable for the payments of benefits. As of December 31, 2019 there were no incurred losses, there has been no default by any of the participating life insurers and the Company has not reduced its loss reserves for any annuities purchased where it is both the owner and the payee. Management believes that based on the financial strength of the life insurers involved (mostly affiliates) the likelihood of the Company becoming liable, or incurring an incremental loss, is remote.

The estimated loss reserves eliminated by such structured settlement annuities and the unrecorded loss contingencies as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1,303 and $1,328, respectively.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had annuities with aggregate statement values in excess of one percent of its policyholders' surplus with life insurer affiliates as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable valuation inputs. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market conditions.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three 'levels' based upon the observability of inputs available in the marketplace as discussed below:

Level 1: Fair value measurements that are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. The quoted price for such instruments is not subject to adjustment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

American Home Assurance Company

Statutory Basis Financial Statements

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and out at the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value (See Note 4 for the balance and activity of financial instruments). The valuation methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

The fair values of bonds, mortgage loans, unaffiliated common stocks and preferred stocks are based on fair values that reflect the price at which a security would sell in an arm's length transaction between a willing buyer and seller. As such, sources of valuation include third party pricing sources, stock exchanges, brokers or custodians or the NAIC Capital Markets and Investment Analysis Office ("NAIC IAO").

The fair value of derivatives is determined using quoted prices in active markets and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based updates, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources.

The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short term nature.

Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less, that are both; (a) readily convertible to known amounts of cash; and (b) so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Highly liquid debt securities with maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months from the date of purchase are classified as short-term investments. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Bonds and Loan Backed and Structured Securities

Bonds include any securities representing a creditor relationship, whereby there is a fixed schedule for one or more future payments such as US government agency securities, municipal securities, corporate and convertible bonds, and fixed income instruments. Loan-backed and structured securities ("LBaSS") include residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), and asset- backed securities ("ABS"), pass-through securities, lease-backed securities, equipment trust certificates, loan-backed securities issued by special purpose corporations or trusts, and securities where there is not direct recourse to the issuer.

Bonds and LBaSS with an NAIC IAO designation of "1" or "2" (considered to be investment grade) are carried at amortized cost. Bonds and LBaSS with an NAIC designation of "3", "4", "5", "5*", "6" or "6*" (considered to be non-investment grade) are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. LBaSS fair values are primarily determined using independent pricing services and broker quotes. Bonds and LBaSS that have not been filed and have not received a designation in over a year, from the NAIC IAO, are assigned a 6* designation and carried at zero, with unrealized losses charged to surplus. Bond and LBaSS securities that have been filed and received a 6* designation can carry a value greater than zero. Bond and LBaSS securities are assigned a 5* designation when the following conditions are met: a) the documentation required for a full credit analysis did not exist, b) the issuer/obligor has made all contractual interest and principal payments, and c) an expectation of repayment of interest and principal exists. Amortization of premium or discount on bonds and LBaSS is calculated using the effective yield method.

Additionally, mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and ABS prepayment assumptions are obtained from an outside vendor or internal estimates. The retrospective adjustment method is used to account for the effect of unscheduled payments affecting high credit quality securities, while securities with less than high credit quality and securities for which the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable are both accounted for using the prospective adjustment method.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and impairments. Pre-payments of principal are recorded as a reduction in the mortgage loan balance. If a mortgage loan provides for a prepayment penalty or acceleration fee in the event the loan is liquidated prior to its scheduled termination date, such fees is reported as investment income when received. Interest income includes interest collected, the change in interest income due and accrued, the change in unearned interest income as well as amortization of premiums, discounts, and deferred fees and recorded as earned in investment income in the statement of operations.

Impaired loans are identified by management as loans in which it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The Company accrues income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Non-performing loan interest income that is delinquent more than 90 days is generally recognized on a cash basis.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when collection of all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. Impairment is measured using either i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, ii) the loan's observable market price, if available, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is typically established for the difference between the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional allowance amounts are established for incurred but not specifically identified impairments, based on statistical models primarily driven by past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio, property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants, and economic trends in the market where the property is located. When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is charged off against the allowance.

Internal credit risk ratings are assigned based on the consideration of risk factors including past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio or the ratio of the loan balance to the estimated value of the property, property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants, economic trends in the market where the property is located, and condition of the property.

Preferred Stocks

Perpetual preferred stocks with an NAIC rating of "P1" or "P2", having characteristics of equity securities are carried at fair value. Redeemable preferred stocks with an NAIC rating of "RP1" or "RP2", which have characteristics of debt securities, are carried at book value. All preferred stocks with an NAIC rating of "3" through "6" are carried at the lower of book or fair value.

Unaffiliated Common Stock Securities

Unaffiliated common stock investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus, or as realized losses in the event a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary. For FHLB capital stock, which is only redeemable at par, the fair value shall be presumed to be par, unless considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies

Investments in non-publicly traded affiliates are recorded based on the underlying equity of the respective entity's financial statements as presented on a basis consistent with the nature of the affiliates' operations (including any nonadmitted amounts). The Company's share of undistributed earnings and losses of affiliates is recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus.

Investments in joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies

Other invested assets include joint ventures and partnerships and are accounted for under the equity method, based on the most recent financial statements of the entity. Changes in carrying value are recorded as unrealized gains (losses). Additionally, other invested assets include investments in collateralized loans that are recorded at the lower of amortized cost and the fair value of the underlying collateral. Changes in carrying value resulting from adjustments where the fair value is less than amortized cost are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus, while changes resulting from amortization are recorded as Net investment income.

Derivatives

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value using quoted prices in active markets and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to valuation models, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources, reduced by the amount of collateral held or posted by the Company with respect to the derivative position. Changes in carrying value are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus.

Net investment income and gain/loss

Investment income is recorded as earned and includes interest, dividends and earnings from subsidiaries, loans and joint ventures. Realized gains or losses on the disposition or impairment of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification.

Investment income due and accrued is assessed for collectability. The Company records a valuation allowance on investment income receivable when it is probable that an amount is uncollectible by recording a charge against investment income in the period such determination is made. Any amounts receivable over 90 days past due, or 180 days past due for mortgage loans, that do not have a valuation allowance are nonadmitted by the Company.

Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

If a bond is determined to have an OTTI in value the cost basis is written down to fair value as its new cost basis, with the corresponding charge to Net realized capital gains (losses) as a realized loss.

For bonds, other than loan-backed and structured securities, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due under the original contractual terms.

For loan-backed and structured securities, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred if the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost and management intends to sell or does not have the ability and intent to retain the security until recovery of the amortized cost (i.e., intent based impairment). When assessing the intent to sell a security, management evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet cash flow needs and sales of securities to take advantage of favorable pricing.

In general, a security is considered a candidate for OTTI evaluation if it meets any of the following criteria:

The Company may not realize a full recovery on their investment based on lack of ability or intent to hold a security to recovery;

Fundamental credit risk of the issuer exists; and/or

Other qualitative/quantitative factors exist indicating an OTTI has occurred.

When a credit-related OTTI is present, the amount of OTTI recognized as a realized capital loss is equal to the difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected regardless of management's ability or intent to hold the security.

Common and preferred stock investments whose fair value is less than their carrying value or is at a significant discount to acquisition value are considered to be potentially impaired. For securities with unrealized losses, an analysis is performed. Factors include:

If management intends to sell a security that is in an unrealized loss position then an OTTI loss is considered to have occurred;

If the investments are trading at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to par, amortized cost (if lower) or cost for an extended period of time based on facts and circumstances of the investment; or

If a discrete credit event occurs resulting in: (i) the issuer defaulting on a material outstanding obligation; (ii) the issuer seeking protection from creditors under bankruptcy law or any similar laws intended for court supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or, (iii) the issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization pursuant to which creditors are asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value substantially lower than par value of their claims; or

If there are other factors precluding a full recovery of the investment.

Limited partnership investments whose fair value is less than its book value with a significant unrealized loss are considered candidates for OTTI. OTTI factors that are periodically considered include:

If an order of liquidation or other fundamental credit issues with the partnership exists;

If there is a significant reduction in scheduled cash flow activities between the Company and the partnership or fund during the year;

If there is an intent to sell, or the Company may be required to sell, the investment prior to the recovery of cost of the investment; or

If other qualitative/quantitative factors indicating an OTTI exist based on facts and circumstances of the investment.

American Home Assurance Company

Statutory Basis Financial Statements

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

Equities in Pools & Associations

The Company accounts for its participation in the business pooled via the Association (see Note 6) and its deposit in the Association by recording the Company's share of:

direct and assumed premium as gross premium,

underwriting and net investment income results in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus,

insurance and reinsurance balances in the Statements of Admitted Assets,

all other non-insurance assets and liabilities held by the Association, all of which are on its members' behalf, as Equities in Underwriting Pools and Associations in the Statements of Admitted Assets, and

cashflows in the Statements of Cash Flows.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange prevailing at the period end date. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses and surplus adjustments, of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars based on weighted average exchange rate for the period. All gains or losses due to translation adjustments recorded as unrealized gains (losses) within Unassigned surplus in the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. All realized gains and losses due to exchange differences between settlement date and transaction date resulting from foreign currency transactions, not in support of foreign insurance operations, are included in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus.

Retirement Plans, Deferred Compensation, Postemployment Benefits and Compensated Absences and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company's employees participate in various AIG-sponsored defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. AIG, as sponsor, is ultimately responsible for the maintenance of these plans in compliance with applicable laws. The Company is not directly liable for obligations under these plans. AIG charges the Company and its insurance company affiliates pursuant to intercompany expense sharing agreements; the expenses are then shared by the pool participants in accordance with the pooling agreement.

The Company incurred employee related costs related to defined benefit and defined contribution plans during 2019, 2018 and 2017 of $7, $5 and $10, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with AIG. AIG has more than 300 subsidiaries which form part of this tax return. A complete listing of the participating subsidiaries is included in Note 8.

The Company is allocated U.S. federal income taxes based upon a tax sharing agreement (the "Tax Sharing Agreement") with AIG, effective January 1, 2018, and approved by the Company's Board of Directors. This agreement provides that the Company shall incur tax results that would have been paid or received by such company if it had filed a separate federal income tax return, with limited exceptions.

Additionally, while the agreement described above governs the current and deferred income tax recorded in the income tax provision, the amount of cash that will be paid or received for U.S. federal income taxes may at times be different. The terms of this agreement are based on principles consistent with the allocation of income tax expense or benefit on a separate company basis, except that:

The sections of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the Base Erosion Anti-abuse Tax ("BEAT") are applied, but only if the AIG consolidated group is subject to BEAT in the Consolidated Tax Liability, and;

The impact of Deferred Intercompany Transactions (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13(b)(1), if the "intercompany items" from such transaction, as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13(b)(2), have not been taken into account pursuant to the "matching rule" of Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13(c)), are excluded from current taxation, provided however, that the Company records the appropriate deferred tax asset and/or deferred tax liability related to the gain or loss and includes such gain or loss in its separate return tax liability in the subsequent tax year when the deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset becomes current.

The Company has an enforceable right to recoup federal income taxes in the event of future net losses that it may incur or to recoup its net losses carried forward as an offset to future net income subject to federal income taxes.

21 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

 

American Home Assurance Company

Statutory Basis Financial Statements

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and tax authority audit adjustments ("TAAAs") shall remain with the Company for which the income tax liabilities relate. Furthermore, if and when such income tax liabilities are realized or determined to no longer be necessary, the responsibility for any additional income tax liabilities, benefits or rights to any refunds due, remains with the Company.

In accordance with Circular Letter 1979-33 issued by the NY DFS, AIG shall establish and maintain an escrow account for amounts where the Company's separate return liability exceeds the AIG consolidated tax liability. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's separate return liability did not exceed the AIG consolidated tax liability and therefore no amounts were maintained in escrow.

Deferred Taxes

The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized ("adjusted gross deferred tax asset"). The evaluation of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires management to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it would be to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

The Company's framework for assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires it to consider all available evidence, including:

the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting income and losses in recent years;

the sustainability of recent operating profitability of our subsidiaries;

the predictability of future operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset;

the carryforward periods for the net operating loss, capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards, including the effect of reversing taxable temporary differences; and

prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset.

The adjusted gross deferred tax asset is then assessed for statutory admissibility. The reversing amount eligible for loss carryback or the amount expected to be realized in three years is admissible, subject to the defined surplus limitation. The remaining adjusted gross deferred tax asset can be admitted to the extent of offsetting deferred tax liabilities.

2.Accounting Adjustments to Statutory Basis Financial Statements

A. Change in Accounting Principles

2019 Changes

In 2019, the Company revised its accounting policy of investments in hedge funds accounted for as equity method investments. These investments will no longer be accounted for using a one month lag. The cumulative impact on the Company's surplus as of December 31, 2018 was a decrease of $39 and is reflected as a Cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles within surplus.

In 2019, there were no significant changes or modifications in the Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP").

2018 and 2017 Changes

In 2018 and 2017, there were no significant changes or modifications in the Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP").

B.Adjustments to Surplus

During 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company identified corrections that resulted in after-tax statutory adjustments to beginning capital and surplus of $21, $72 and $38, respectively. In accordance with SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors ("SSAP 3"), the corrections of errors have been reported in the 2019, 2018 and 2017 statutory financial statements as adjustments to Unassigned surplus. The impact of the 2019 corrections would have decreased the 2018 and 2017 pre-tax income by $1 and $2, respectively. Management has concluded that the effects of these errors on the previously issued financial statements were immaterial based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis. The impact to surplus, assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is presented in the following tables:

Liability corrections – The decrease in total liabilities is primarily the result of a) a net decrease in unearned premium reserves on multi-year direct policies; partially offset by b) an increase due to an over-cession of premiums and losses on a specific program.

Income tax corrections – The increase in the tax assets is primarily the result of a) corrections to prior period balances for adjustments to the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and b) the tax effect of the corresponding change in asset realization and liability corrections.

F.Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds currency as well as interest rate derivative financial instruments in the form of currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and currency forwards and futures to manage risk from currency exchange rate fluctuations, and the impact of such fluctuations to surplus and cash flows on investments or loss reserves. While not accounted for under hedge accounting, the currency derivatives are economic hedges of the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the value of receipts on certain investments held by the Company denominated in foreign currencies (primarily GBP and EUR), or of the Company's exposure to fluctuations in recorded amounts of loss reserves denominated in foreign currencies (primarily JPY). Additionally, interest rate derivatives were entered into to manage risk from fluctuating interest rates in the market, and the impact of such fluctuations to surplus and cash flows on investments or loss reserves. The interest rate derivatives are cash flow hedges of the company's exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR/EURIBOR rates on investments in collateralized loan obligations.

Market Risk

The Company is exposed under these types of contracts to fluctuations in value of the swaps and forwards and variability of cash flows due to changes in interest rates and exchange rates.

Credit Risk

The current credit exposure of the Company's derivative contracts is limited to the fair value of such contracts. Credit risk is managed by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining collateral.

Cash Requirements

The Company is subject to collateral requirements on its currency and interest rate derivative contracts. Additionally, the Company is required to make currency exchanges on fixed dates and fixed amounts or fixed exchange rates, or make a payment in the amount of foreign currency physically received on certain foreign denominated investments. For interest rate swaps, the Company is required to make payments based on a floating rate (LIBOR/EURIBOR) on a fixed payment date.

The Company has determined that the currency and interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under the criteria set forth in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Transactions ("SSAP 86"). As a result, the Company's currency and interest rate contracts are accounted for at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) within the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus until the contract expires, paid down or is redeemed early. In the event a contract is fully redeemed before its expiration, the related unrealized amounts will be recognized in Net realized capital gains (losses). Furthermore, if the contract has periodic payments or fully matures, any related unrealized amounts are recognized in Net investment income earned.

The Company did not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivatives for any period in these financial statements. The following tables summarize the outstanding notional amounts, the fair values and the realized and unrealized gains or losses of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data or when the asset is no longer carried at fair value. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant inputs becoming observable or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and this observable. Transfers out of Level 3 can also occur due to favorable credit migration resulting in a higher NAIC designation. Securities are generally transferred into Level 3 due to a decrease in market transparency, downward credit migration and an overall increase in price disparity for certain individual security types. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and out at the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value.

During 2019, after applying the impact of the ADC, the Company reported net favorable incurred loss and LAE of approximately $39. This favorable incurred includes $37 favorable due to changes in discount. This results in a favorable prior year development ("PYD") of $2.

The favorable prior year development is generally a result of the following:

Favorable development on 2017 Hurricanes and 2017 California Wildfires subrogation recoverables in Commercial Property and Personal Lines;

Favorable development on Workers Compensation, both guaranteed cost business and large deductible and Defense Base Act business (covering government contractors serving at military bases overseas) where the Company reacted to favorable loss trends in recent accident years.

During 2018, after applying the impact of the ADC, the Company reported net unfavorable prior year development on loss and LAE reserves of approximately $260, which includes a decrease in loss reserve discount on prior accident years of $24. Under the ADC, 80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of the Company's commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior is ceded to NICO. Excluding the impact of the ADC, the Company recognized unfavorable prior year loss reserve development of $491.

The 2018 unfavorable prior year development is generally a result of the following:

Unfavorable prior year development in excess casualty, driven by the combination of construction defect and construction wrap claims from accident years 2015 and prior where we reacted to significant increases in severity and longer claim reporting patterns, as well as higher than expected loss severity in accident years 2016 and 2017, which led to an increase in estimates for these accident years;

Unfavorable prior year development in financial lines, primarily from directors & officers (D&O) and employment practices liability (EPLI) policies covering corporate and national insureds as well as private and not-for-profit insureds. This development was predominantly in accident years 2014-2017 and resulted largely from increases in severity as the frequency of class action lawsuits increased in those years; and

Unfavorable prior year development in personal lines reflecting an increase in estimates in respect of the California Wildfires and Hurricane Irma.

During 2017, after applying the impact of the ADC, the Company reported net unfavorable prior year development on loss and LAE reserves of approximately $277, which includes a decrease in loss reserve discount on prior accident years of $45. Under the ADC, 80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of the Company's commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior is ceded to NICO. Excluding the impact of the ADC, the Company recognized unfavorable prior loss reserve development of $452.

The 2017 unfavorable prior year development is generally a result of the following:

32 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

 

American Home Assurance Company

Statutory Basis Financial Statements

( D o l l a r s i n M i l l i o n s )

Unfavorable prior year development in excess casualty and primarily general liability products within Other Liability – Occurrence line of business, driven primarily by increases in underlying severity and greater than expected loss experience in accident year 2016 as well as increased development from claims related to construction defects and construction wrap business (largely from accident years 2006 and prior);

Unfavorable prior year development in excess casualty and directors and officers ("D&O") within Other Liability - Claims-Made line of business, covering privately owned and not-for-profit insureds. The D&O development was predominantly in accident year 2016 and resulted largely from increases in bankruptcy-related claims and fiduciary liability claims for large educational institutions; and

Unfavorable prior year development primarily driven by commercial auto business in the program business unit. A significant portion of this development came from accident year 2016 with much of it related to programs that have been terminated over the past year.

The Company's reserves for losses and LAE have been reduced for anticipated salvage and subrogation of $310, $249 and $252 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company paid $13, $9 and $32 in the reporting period to settle 148, 204 and 233 claims related to extra contractual obligations or bad faith claims stemming from lawsuits for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

A.Asbestos/Environmental Reserves

The Company has indemnity claims asserting injuries from toxic waste, hazardous substances, asbestos and other environmental pollutants and alleged damages to cover the clean-up costs of hazardous waste dump sites (environmental claims). Estimation of environmental claims loss reserves is a difficult process, as these claims, which emanate from policies written in 1986 and prior years, cannot be estimated by conventional reserving techniques. Environmental claims development is affected by factors such as inconsistent court resolutions, the broadening of the intent of policies and scope of coverage and increasing number of new claims. The Company and other industry members have and will continue to litigate the broadening judicial interpretation of policy coverage and the liability issues. If the courts continue in the future to expand the intent of the policies and the scope of the coverage, as they have in the past, additional liabilities would emerge for amounts in excess of reserves held. This emergence cannot now be reasonably estimated, but could have a material impact on the Company's future operating results or financial position.

The Company has exposure to asbestos and/or environmental losses and LAE costs arising from pre-1986 general liability, product liability, commercial multi-peril and excess liability insurance or reinsurance policies as noted below:

B.Loss Portfolio Transfer

On February 12, 2018, the Company and certain AIG affiliated insurers (collectively, the "Reinsureds" (as cedants), each of which is a member of the Combined Pool) commuted certain loss portfolio reinsurance agreements with Eaglestone (as reinsurer). The commuted reinsurance agreements with Eaglestone related to environmental impairment liability and related exposures, pre-1986 environmental, public entity, occupational accident exposures, miscellaneous run-off general liability and workers' compensation exposures, and selected physicians and surgeons professional liability policies. The commutation settlement was equal to the statutory balances as of the January 1, 2017 effective date.

On the same date, the Reinsureds (as cedants), Eaglestone (as original reinsurer), and Fortitude Re (as replacement reinsurer), a partially owned AIG subsidiary and registered Class 4 and Class E reinsurer in Bermuda, entered into a novation agreement whereby obligations of excess workers' compensation business previously ceded by the Reinsureds to Eaglestone were transferred to Fortitude Re. The novation consideration was equal to the total statutory reserves ceded to Eaglestone as of the January 1, 2017 effective date.

Further, and also on the same date, a book of assumed reinsurance business of the Reinsureds, which was previously embedded in one of the LPTs that was commuted, was ceded back to Eaglestone as a separate LPT ("Re-ceded Portfolio") on a fund transferred basis with settlement equal to the statutory balances as of the January 1, 2017 effective date, resulting in no gain in surplus to the Reinsureds.

Finally, the Reinsureds (as cedants) ceded substantially all commuted business as detailed above through various LPT reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re (as replacement reinsurer). Additionally, at the same time, the Reinsureds also ceded to Fortitude Re additional business related to certain excess workers' compensation (accident years 2011 and 2012), certain pollution legal liability, buffer trucking, some healthcare primary and excess product coverages businesses. The consideration for the above reinsurance agreements is equal to the statutory book value of the ceded liabilities as of the January 1, 2017 effective date, resulting in no gain in surplus to the Reinsureds. The consideration was settled on a funds withheld basis. Interest on the funds withheld is determined by the total return of a certain earmarked portfolio of assets owned by the Reinsureds.

The recording of these transactions by the Reinsureds in the first quarter of 2018 required the reversal of interest expense on funds held due to Eaglestone on the commuted portfolios and the recognition of interest expense due to Fortitude Re on the commuted portfolios and the new cessions, in order to record the effect of the transaction as of the stated effective date of January 1, 2017.

C.Discounting of Liabilities for Unpaid Losses or Unpaid Loss Adjustment Expenses

The Company discounts its workers' compensation (both tabular and non-tabular) reserves.

The calculation of the Company's tabular discount is based upon the mortality table used in the 2007 US Decennial Life Table, and applying a 3.5 percent interest rate. Only case basis reserves are subject to tabular discounting. The December 31, 2019 and 2018 liabilities include $570 and $569 of such discounted reserves, respectively.

6.Related Party Transactions

A.Combined Pooling Agreement 2017 Pooling Restructure Transaction

In 2017, the Combined Pooling Agreement was amended and restated among the twelve member companies. In order to rebalance the capital accounts of the companies in the Combined Pool, certain participants of the Combined Pool made distributions or received contributions of capital during March 2017. The change in the Combined Pooling Agreement had no effect on the Company's reported assets, liabilities, surplus, operations or cash flow, as the Company's participation in the pool remained the same.

B.American International Overseas Association

AIG formed the Association, a Bermuda exempted limited partnership, in 1976, as the pooling mechanism for AIG's international general insurance operations. At the time of forming the Association, the member companies thereto entered into an Inter-Reinsurance Agreement ("IRA") to govern the business pooled in the Association. Immediately prior to June 1, 2019, the participation percentages for the Association pool members companies are set forth in the table below:

 

NAIC Co.

National Union

19445

New Hampshire

10%

Effective June 1, 2019, the IRA was commuted. Notwithstanding the commutation, all of the business at issue continues to be pooled in accordance with the Combined Pooling Agreement referenced in Note 6A.

Therefore, the commutation has no net impact to the member companies of the Combined Pool. However, the commutation, together with associated operational changes, has resulted in an increase in direct underwriting activity being reported by certain member companies of the Combined Pool.

Share Repurchase

On January 23, 2019, NY DFS approved American Home's plan to distribute an amount of up to approximately $504 to its immediate parent, an increase in the par value of its common stock from $17 per share to $20 per share and a decrease in the minimum number of directors from 13 to

7.The distribution was accomplished via a share repurchase agreement with the per share repurchase price equal to the American Home's statutory book value per share calculated as of September 30, 2018.

On February 14, 2019, American Home repurchased 139,000 shares of its issued and outstanding common stock, resulting in a distribution to its immediate parent of $502 and a reduction in its common capital stock and gross paid in and contributed surplus of $2 and $500, respectively. On that same date, American Home filed an amendment to its charter with DFS to increase the par value of the American Home's common stock from $17 to $20 per share. The increase to the par value resulted in an increase of $5 to the American Home's common capital stock and a reduction to its gross paid in and contributed surplus of the same amount, post share repurchase.

AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corp. ("AIGGRE") Restructure

E.Guarantees or Contingencies for Related Parties

The Company has issued guarantees whereby it unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees all present and future obligations and liabilities arising from the policies of insurance issued by certain insurers who, as of the guarantee issue date, were members of the AIG holding company group. The guarantees were provided in order to secure or maintain the guaranteed companies' rating status issued by certain rating agencies, as disclosed in Note 10.

F.Management, Service Contract and Cost Sharing Arrangements

As an affiliated company of AIG, the Company utilizes centralized services from AIG and its affiliates. The Company is allocated a charge for these services, based on the amount of incremental expense associated with operating the Company as a separate legal entity. The amount of expense allocated to the Company each period was determined based on an analysis of services provided to the Company.

The following table summarizes fees incurred related to affiliates that exceeded one-half of one percent of the Company's admitted assets during 2019, 2018 and 2017:

In 2019, 2018 and 2017 management service costs included severance expenses pertaining to an AIG-wide initiative to centralize work streams into lower cost locations and create a more streamlined organization.

G.Borrowed Money

The Company (among other affiliates) is a borrower under a Loan Agreement, with AIG, as lender, pursuant to which the Company may borrow funds from AIG from time to time (the "Loan Facility"). The aggregate amount of all loans that may be outstanding under the Loan Facility at a given time is $500. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no outstanding liability pursuant to this Loan Facility.

Significant debt terms and covenants include the following:

The Company must preserve and maintain its legal existence while maintaining all rights, privileges and franchises necessary to the normal conduct of its business;

The Company must take, or cause to be taken, all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve and defend the rights of the Lender to payment hereunder, and to assure to the Lender the benefits hereof, and;

The Company must not merge with or into or consolidate with any other person, sell, transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or undergo any change in the control of its voting stock unless (a) such merger or consolidation is with or into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lender, (b) such sale or transfer is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lender or (c) The Company receives the prior written authorization from the Lender.

There have been no violations of the terms and covenants associated with the debt issuance.

Refer to Note 11 E regarding funds borrowed from FHLB.

7.Reinsurance

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may use both treaty and facultative reinsurance to minimize its net loss exposure to a) any single catastrophic loss event; b) an accumulation of losses from a number of smaller events; or c) provide greater risk diversification. Based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts, a portion of expected IBNR losses will be recoverable in accordance with terms of the reinsurance protection purchased. This determination is necessarily based on the estimate of IBNR and accordingly, is subject to the same uncertainties as the estimate of IBNR. Ceded amounts related to paid and unpaid losses and loss expenses with respect to these reinsurance agreements are generally substantially collateralized. The Company remains liable to the extent that the reinsurers do not meet their obligation under the reinsurance contracts after any collateral is exhausted, and as such, the financial condition of the reinsurers is regularly evaluated and monitored for concentration of credit risk. In addition, the Company assumes reinsurance from other insurance companies.

C.Reinsurance Recoverable in Dispute

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aggregate of all disputed items did not exceed ten percent of capital and surplus and there were no amounts in dispute for any single reinsurer that exceeded five percent of capital and surplus. The total reinsurance recoverable balances in dispute are $37 and $46 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

D.Retroactive Reinsurance

On January 20, 2017, the Combined Pool entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO under which the Combined Pool ceded to NICO eighty percent of its reserve risk above an attachment point on substantially all of its U.S. Commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, the Combined Pool ceded to NICO eighty percent of net paid losses on subject business on or after January 1, 2016 in excess of $25,000 of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $25,000. At NICO's 80 percent share, NICO's limit of liability under the contract is $20,000. The Combined Pool paid consideration of approximately $10,188 in February 2017, including interest at 4 percent per annum from January 1, 2016 through date of payment. American Home's share of the consideration paid was $3,566. NICO placed the consideration received into a collateral trust account as security for NICO's claim payment obligations, and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has provided a parental guarantee to secure NICO's obligations under the agreement.

American Home accounted for this transaction as prospective reinsurance, except that the surplus gain associated with the ADC has been reported in a segregated surplus account and does not form a part of the Company's Unassigned funds.

The total surplus gain recognized by the Combined Pool as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $2,176, $1,984 and $1,426, respectively. American Home's share of this gain as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $854, $920 and $689, respectively. The surplus gain is presented as segregated surplus and subject to the applicable dividend restrictions. This amount must be restricted in surplus until such time as the actual retroactive reinsurance recovered from NICO exceeds the consideration paid for the cession.

E.Reinsurance Agreements Qualifying for Reinsurer Aggregation

In 2011, the Combined Pool companies entered into a loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement with Eaglestone, an affiliate, which provides coverage up to a limit of $5,000 for the Pool's net asbestos exposures. Effective the same date, Eaglestone retroceded the majority of this exposure to NICO, an unaffiliated company. NICO provides coverage up to a limit of $3,500 for subject business covered under the agreement. NICO administers claims and pursues amounts recoverable from the Combined Pool companies' reinsurers with respect to paid losses and loss adjustment expenses. To the extent that the prior reinsurers pay, the amounts are collected and retained by NICO. NICO maintains funds in trust for the benefit of Eaglestone under the contract; as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 the amount in trust was $4,326 and $3,291, respectively. The amount of the unexhausted limit under the NICO agreement as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1,201 and $1,198, respectively. The Company has accounted for its cession to Eaglestone as prospective reinsurance.

8.Income Taxes

U.S. TAX REFORM OVERVIEW

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted Public Law 115-97, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Tax Act"). The Tax Act reduced the statutory rate of U.S. federal corporate income tax to 21 percent and enacted numerous other changes impacting the Company.

The Tax Act includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations and for Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), under which taxes are imposed on certain base eroding payments to affiliated foreign companies. While the U.S. tax authorities issued formal guidance, including recently issued proposed and final regulations for BEAT and other provisions of the Tax Act, there are still certain aspects of the Tax Act that remain unclear and subject to substantial uncertainties. Additional guidance is expected in future periods. Such guidance may result in changes to the interpretations and assumptions the Company made and actions the Company may take, which may impact amounts recorded with respect to international provisions of the Tax Act, possibly materially. Consistent with accounting guidance, the Company treats BEAT as a period tax charge in the period the tax is incurred and have made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes in a similar manner.

No provision for income tax related to GILTI or BEAT was recorded as of December 31, 2019.

The components of the Company's net deferred tax assets/liabilities ("DTA"/"DTL") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

At December 31, 2019, the Company recorded gross deferred tax assets ("DTA") of $1,133. A valuation allowance of $13 was established on deferred tax assets related to foreign tax credits and $53 on net capital deferred tax assets, as it is management's belief that they will not be utilized in the foreseeable future. Tax planning strategies had no impact on the determination of the net admitted DTA.

9.Capital and Surplus and Dividend Restrictions

A.Dividend Restrictions

Under New York law, the Company may pay cash dividends only from Unassigned surplus determined on a statutory basis.

New York domiciled companies are restricted (on the basis of the lower of 10 percent of statutory earned surplus as defined in NY Insurance Law section 4105, adjusted for special surplus items, as of the last statement on file with the Superintendent, or 100 percent of adjusted net investment income for the preceding thirty-six month period ended as of the last statement on file with the Superintendent) as to the amount of ordinary dividends they may declare or pay in any twelve-month period without the prior approval of the NY DFS. The maximum dividend amount the Company can pay in 2020, as of December 31, 2019 is $0.

Other than the limitations above, there are no restrictions placed on the portion of Company profits that may be paid as ordinary dividends to the stockholders.

The Company did not pay any dividends in 2019 and 2018.

B.Capital & Surplus

Changes in balances of special surplus funds are due to adjustments in the amounts of reserves transferred under retroactive reinsurance agreements and when cash recoveries exceed the consideration paid.

The portion of Unassigned surplus at December 31, 2019 and 2018 represented or reduced by each item below is as follows:

10. Contingencies

A.Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, AIG and its subsidiaries are, like others in the insurance and financial services industries in general, subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in a large number of proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters involve potentially significant risk of loss due to potential for significant jury awards and settlements, punitive damages or other penalties. Many of these matters are also highly complex and seek recovery on behalf of a class or similarly large number of plaintiffs. It is therefore inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from these matters. In AIG's insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of coverage under insurance and reinsurance contracts, and litigation and arbitration in which its subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are generally considered in the establishment of loss reserves. Separate and apart from the foregoing matters involving insurance and reinsurance coverage, AIG, its subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are subject to a variety of additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of AIG securities, customers, employees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to these other categories of matters not arising out of claims for insurance or reinsurance coverage, the Company establishes reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, the Company is unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that has been recorded in its financial statements covering these matters. While such potential future charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not believe, other than may be discussed below, that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation.

Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review the transactions and practices of AIG and its subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. The Company has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to such requests.

B.Leases

Lease expenses are allocated to the Company based upon the percentage of space occupied with the final share of cost based upon its percentage participation in the Combined Pool.

C.Other Commitments

As part of its hedge fund, private equity and real estate equity portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2019, the Company may be called upon for additional capital investments of up to $894.

At December 31, 2019 the Company had $247 of outstanding commitments related to various funding obligations associated with investments in commercial and residential mortgage loans.

D.Guarantees

The Company has issued guarantees whereby it unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all present and future obligations and liabilities arising from the policies of insurance issued by certain insurers who, as of the guarantee issue date, were members of the AIG holding company group. The guarantees were provided in order to secure or maintain the guaranteed companies' rating status issued by certain rating agencies. The Company would be required to perform under the guarantee in the event that a guaranteed entity failed to make payments due under policies of insurance issued during the period of the guarantee. The Company has not been required to perform under any of the guarantees. The Company remains contingently liable for all policyholder obligations associated with insurance policies issued by the guaranteed entity during the period in which the guarantee was in force.

Each guaranteed entity has reported total assets in excess of its liabilities and the majority have invested assets in excess of their direct (prior to reinsurance) policyholder liabilities. Additionally, the Company is party to an agreement with AIG whereby AIG has agreed to make any payments due under the guarantees in the Company's place and stead. Furthermore, for any former affiliate that has been sold, the purchaser has provided the Company with hold harmless agreements relative to the guarantee of the divested affiliate. Accordingly, management believes that the likelihood of payment under any of the guarantees is remote.

**AIA was formerly as subsidiary of AIG, Inc. In previous years AIA provided the direct policyholder obligations as of each year end. However, starting in 2014 AIA declined to provide financial information related to these guarantees. The financial information reflects amounts as of December 31, 2012, at which time the guaranteed entities had invested assets in excess of direct policyholder obligations and were in a positive surplus position. Such amounts continue to remain the Company's best estimate given available financial information. The guaranteed policyholder obligations will decline as the policies expire.

E.Joint and Several Liabilities

AIUI and the Company are jointly and severally obligated to the policyholders of their Japan branches, in connection with transfers of the business of those Japan branches to Japan-domiciled affiliates in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Under the terms of the transfer agreement, the Japan affiliates have agreed to be responsible for 100% of the obligations associated with such policies, and management expects such companies to satisfy their obligation. The Company carries no reserves with respect to such liabilities. The Japanese affiliates carried $13 and $20 of loss reserves in respect of such policies as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, if the Japan affiliates were to fail to satisfy their obligations, the Company's share of the aggregate exposure under the pooling agreement is $8.

Each Pool member is also jointly and severally obligated to the other Pool members, in proportion to their pool share, in the event any other Pool member fails.

E.Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Agreements

The Company is a member of the FHLB of New York. Such membership requires ownership of stock in the FHLB. The Company owned an aggregate of $9 and $9 of stock in the FHLB at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Through its membership, the Company has conducted business activity (borrowings) with the FHLB. The Company utilizes the FHLB facility to supplement liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. The outstanding borrowings are being used primarily for interest rate risk management purposes in connection with certain reinsurance arrangements, and the balances are expected to decline as underlying premiums are collected. The Company is required to pledge certain mortgage-backed securities, government and agency securities and other qualifying assets to secure advances obtained from the FHLB. The FHLB applies a haircut to collateral pledged to determine the amount of borrowing capacity it will provide to its member. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an actual borrowing capacity of $1,167 based on qualified pledged collateral. At December 31, 2019, the Company had borrowings of $0 from the FHLB.

F.Insurance-Linked Securities

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company was not a ceding insurer in catastrophe bond reinsurance transactions in force.

G.Sale of Medical Stop-loss and Organ Transplant Business

On October 15, 2017, the Pool sold its medical stop-loss and organ transplant business and renewal rights to Tokio Marine HCC Life Insurance Company. The sale of the renewal rights resulted in a gain of $91 for the Company. In addition to the sale of the renewal rights, the Pool entered into a 100 percent quota share reinsurance agreement to cede the in-force liabilities of these businesses as of the transaction date, which resulted in a gain of $6.5 for the Company.

Item 28.     Indemnification
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company
To the full extent authorized by law, the corporation shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal or civil, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the corporation or serves or served in any capacity in any other corporation at the request of the corporation. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

Item 32.     Undertakings
a. VALIC hereby commits itself, on behalf of the contract owners, to the following undertakings:

2. To include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by the prospectus, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information;
3. To deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this form promptly upon written or oral request.
b. The Company hereby represents that the fees and charges deducted under the contract, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by the Company.
c. Additional Commitments
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 added to the Internal Revenue Code a new section 403(b)(11) which applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 1988. This paragraph provides that withdrawal restrictions apply to contributions made and interest earned subsequent to December 31, 1988. Such restrictions require that distributions not begin before age 59 1/2, separation from service, death, disability, or hardship (only employee contributions without accrued interest may be withdrawn in case of hardship). These withdrawal restrictions appear in the Section "Federal Tax Matters" in either the prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information for contracts of this Registration Statement. The Company relies on a no-action letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 1988 stating that no enforcement action would be taken under sections 22(e), 27(c)(1), or 27(d) of the Act if, in effect, the Company permits restrictions on cash distributions from elective contributions to the extent necessary to comply with section 403(b)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code in accordance with the following conditions:
(1) Include appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption restrictions imposed by section 403(b)(11) in each registration statement, including the prospectus, used in connection with the offer of the contract;
(2) Include appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption restrictions imposed by section 403(b)(11) in any sales literature used in connection with the offer of the contract;
(3) Instruct sales representatives who solicit participants to purchase the contract specifically to being the redemption restrictions imposed by section 403(b)(11) to the attention of the potential participants;
(4) Obtain from each plan participant who purchases a section 403(b) annuity contract, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed statement acknowledging the participant's understanding of (1) the restrictions on redemption imposed by section 403(b)(11), and (2) the investment alternatives available under the employer's section 403(b) arrangement, to which the participant may elect to transfer his contract value.
The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of paragraphs (1)-(4) above.
The Company relies on Rule 6c-7 of the Act which states that a registered separate account, and any depositor of or underwriter for such account, shall be exempt from the provisions of sections 22(e), 27(c)(1) and 27(d) of the Act with respect to a contract participating in this account to the extent necessary to permit compliance with the Texas Optional Retirement Program (Program) in accordance with the following conditions:
(a) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program in each registration statement, including the prospectus, used in connection with the Program;
(b) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program in any sales literature used in connection with the offer of the contract to Program participants;

 

(c) instruct salespeople who solicit Program participants to purchase the contract specifically to bring the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program to the attention of potential Program participants;
(d) obtain from each Program participant who purchases the contract in connection with the Program, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed statement acknowledging the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program.
