CNA sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, the CNA Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), covering certain eligible employees. The Plan has been closed to new entrants since 2000. In the first quarter of 2026, a subsidiary of CNA, as sponsor of the Plan, approved the decision to pursue termination of the Plan, effective June 30, 2026. The Plan will continue to be reflected in the consolidated condensed financial statements until the termination process, including the settlement or transfer of remaining benefit obligations, has been completed, which CNA currently anticipates will be in approximately 18 months.
