| Item 32. | Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Insurance Company or Registrant. |
Separate Account FP (the “Separate Account”) is a separate account of Equitable Financial. Equitable Financial, a New York stock life insurance company, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable Holdings, Inc. (the “Holding Company”).
Set forth below is the subsidiary chart for the Holding Company:
C-10
| Item 33. | Indemnification |
| (a) | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
The by-laws of the Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company (“Equitable Financial”) provide, in Article VII, as follows:
| 7.4 | Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. |
| (a) | To the extent permitted by the law of the State of New York and subject to all applicable requirements thereof: |
| (i) | Any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company; |
| (ii) | Any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate serves or served any other organization in any capacity at the request of the Company may be indemnified by the Company; and |
| (iii) | the related expenses of any such person in any of said categories may be advanced by the Company. |
| (b) | To the extent permitted by the law of the State of New York, the Company or the Board of Directors, by amendment of these By-Laws, or by agreement. (Business Corporation Law ss.ss.721-726: Insurance Law ss.1216). |
The directors and officers of the Company are insured under policies issued by X. L. Insurance Company, Arc Insurance Company, Endurance Specialty Insurance Company, U.S. Specialty Insurance, ACE, Chubb Insurance Company, AXIS Insurance Company, Zurich Insurance Company, AWAC (Allied World Assurance Company, Ltd.), Aspen Bermuda XS, CNA, AIG, One Beacon, Nationwide, Berkley, Berkshire, SOMPO, Chubb, Markel and ARGO RE Ltd. The annual limit on such policies is $300 million, and the policies insure the officers and directors against certain liabilities arising out of their conduct in such capacities.
| (b) | Indemnification of Principal Underwriters |
To the extent permitted by law of the State of New York and subject to all applicable requirements thereof, Equitable Distributors, LLC and Equitable Advisors, LLC have undertaken to indemnify each of its respective directors and officers who is made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact the director or officer, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of Equitable Distributors, LLC and Equitable Advisors, LLC.
| (c) | Undertaking |
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.
