(1) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments, unless otherwise noted.

(2) The liquidity/duration adjustment input represents an estimated market participant composite of adjustments attributable to liquidity premiums, expected durations, structures and credit quality that would be applied to the market observable information of an investment.

(3) The lapse input represents the estimated probability of a contract surrendering during a year, and thereby forgoing any future

benefits. The range for indexed annuity contracts represents the lapses during the surrender charge period.

(4) The utilization of GLB withdrawals input represents the estimated percentage of policyholders that utilize the GLB withdrawal riders.

(5) The utilization factors are applied to the present value of claims or premiums, as appropriate, in the MRB calculation to estimate the

impact of inefficient GLB withdrawal behavior, including taking less than or more than the maximum GLB withdrawal.

(6) The non-performance risk input represents the estimated additional credit spread that market participants would apply to the market

observable discount rate when pricing a contract. The non-performance risk input was weighted by the absolute value of the sensitivity of the reserve to the non-performance risk assumption. The non-performance risk input for LPR ceded derivative was weighted using a simple average.

(7) The mortality input represents the estimated probability of when an individual belonging to a particular group, categorized according

to age or some other factor such as gender, will die.

(8) The volatility input represents overall volatilities assumed for the underlying variable annuity funds, which include a mixture of equity

and fixed-income assets. Volatility assumptions vary by fund due to the benchmarking of different indices. The volatility input was

weighted by the relative account balance assigned to each index.

(9) The mortality is based on a combination of company and industry experience, adjusted for improvement factors.

(10) A weighted average input range is not a meaningful measurement for lapse, utilization factors or mortality.
