In connection with the planned relocation of CNA’s global headquarters, in 2016, CNA sold the building in which it maintains its current principal executive offices. Concurrently, CNA leased back the current office space until the relocation of the global headquarters, which is expected to occur in 2018. The sale-leaseback arrangement includes expected future minimum lease payments of $10 million in 2017 and $4 million in 2018.
