CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

 

(A WHOLLY — OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

FOR THE YEARS ENDED December 31, 2020 AND 2019

 


 

 

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Board of Directors of

Connecticut General Life Insurance Company:

 

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connecticut General Corporation, whose ultimate parent is Cigna Corporation), which comprise the statutory balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statutory statements of income and changes in capital and surplus, and of cash flows for the years then ended.

 

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 Connecticut Insurance Department. 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 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Connecticut Insurance Department, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 185 Asylum Street, Suite 2400, Hartford, CT 06103-3404

T: (860) 241 7000, www.pwc.com/us

 


 

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 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, 2020 and 2019 or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.

 

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 surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Connecticut Insurance Department described in Note 1.

 

Other Matter

 

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Supplemental Schedule 1- Selected Financial Data, Supplemental Schedule 2 - Summary Investment Schedule, Supplemental Schedule 3-Supplemental Investment Risks   Interrogatories, and Supplemental Schedule 4-Reinsurance Disclosures (the “supplemental schedules”) of the Company as of December 31, 2020 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.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN

 

Nature of Operations

 

Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connecticut General Corporation (CGC), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cigna Corporation (Cigna). The Company and its subsidiaries are major providers of health care and related benefits in the U.S., the majority of which are offered through employers and other groups (e.g. unions and associations). Principal products and services are group life and health insurance. In addition, the Company has international operations that offer products (that are generally similar to those offered domestically) to businesses and individuals in selected markets. The Company also has certain run-off operations including individual insurance, group retirement and reinsurance operations. The Company is domiciled in the state of Connecticut and licensed in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada.

 

COVID-19 Impact

 

The novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cigna and its subsidiaries (including the Company) have taken actions to drive affordability, reduce uncertainty, and make health care easier. For customers, these actions include COVID-19 related expanded access to virtual care, support for access to medication, and advocating for whole person health through various behavioral health initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic has pervasively impacted the economy and financial markets. The Company closely monitors its financial instruments and maintains effective controls to identify risks and evaluate potential exposures. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced a material decline in fair value relating to its financial instruments including investments, accounts receivable and reinsurance recoverables. Please refer to notes 4, 6, and 16 for additional information related to the Company’s financial instruments.

 

Cigna Completes Sale of Group Disability and Life Business

 

On December 31, 2020, Cigna completed the sale of its U.S. Group Disability and Life business to New York Life Insurance Company (NY Life). The transaction with NY Life included the sale of the business offering group long-term and short-term disability, and group life products and related services. The Company is party to new reinsurance arrangements with NY Life resulting from the sale (see Note 17 for further information).

 

Affordable Care Act - Individual Mandate Litigation

 

A federal court ruled that the “individual mandate” in the ACA is unconstitutional and the entire law must be struck down. On appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed that the “individual mandate” is unconstitutional but ordered the district court to reexamine whether the other provisions of the ACA can remain in effect, thereby leaving in doubt whether the entire ACA is unconstitutional until there is a final judicial determination on appeal. The California-led states and the U.S. House of Representatives filed petitions seeking to appeal the Fifth Circuit’s ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. On March 2, 2020, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeals. The case was argued before the Supreme Court on November 10, 2020 and a decision is expected by the end of June 2021.

 

A.                 Accounting Practices

 

The Statutory Financial Statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the “Department”). The Department has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Statutory Accounting Principles (“SAP” or “SSAPs”).

 

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

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NAIC SAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. NAIC SAP also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Significant estimates are discussed throughout these Notes; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

C.                 Accounting Policy

 

(1)              Financial Instruments: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments. These financial instruments may include various instruments recorded on the balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments. These instruments may change in value due to interest rate and market fluctuations and most also have credit risk. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when management considers it appropriate, uses a derivative instrument or obtains collateral or another form of security to minimize risk of loss.

 

The Company estimates fair values of financial instruments using prices from third parties or internal pricing methods. Fair value estimates received from third-party pricing services are based on reported trade activity and quoted market prices when available and other market information that a market participant may use to estimate fair value. The internal pricing methods generally involve using discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality as well as other qualitative factors. In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the fair value is estimated using methods, models and assumptions that the Company believes a hypothetical market participant would use to determine a current transaction price. See Note 16 for information on the Company’s fair value measurements.

 

(2)              Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments that will mature in three months or less from the time of purchase. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are carried at cost.

 

(3)              Investments: Investments are valued in accordance with the requirements of the NAIC SAP. The carrying values of investments are generally stated as follows:

 

Bonds, Short-term Investments and Preferred Stocks. Investments in bonds, short-term investments and redeemable preferred stocks are carried at amortized cost, and non-redeemable preferred stocks at cost, except those in or near default, which are carried at the lesser of cost or fair value. Amortization of bond premium or discount is calculated using the scientific (constant yield) interest method. Bonds containing call provisions are amortized to call date which produces the lowest asset value (yield to worst). Investments with original maturities of one year or less from the time of purchase are classified as short-term. Bonds and preferred stocks are considered impaired, and their cost basis is written down to fair value through an asset valuation reserve for credit-related losses or an interest maintenance reserve for interest-related losses, when management expects a decline in value to persist (i.e., the decline is other-than-temporary).

 

Hybrid Securities. Hybrid securities are designed with both debt and equity characteristics and are intended to provide protection to the issuer’s senior note holders. In accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities, hybrid securities are reported in bonds.

 

Loan-backed and Other Structured Securities. Loan-backed bonds and structured securities are valued at amortized cost using the constant level yield method. Significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions are accounted for generally using the retrospective adjustment method. When loan-backed and structured securities have potential for loss of a significant portion of the original investment, significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions are accounted for using the prospective method.  These securities are presented on the balance sheet as bonds.

 

Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed securities and other structured securities were obtained from external financial data sources. These assumptions are consistent with the current interest rate and economic environment.

 

When the Company determines it does not expect to recover the amortized cost basis of loan-backed or structured securities with declines in fair value (even if it does not intend to sell and has the intent and ability to hold), the non-interest portion of the impairment loss is recognized in realized investment losses. The non-interest portion is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan-backed or structured security and the net present value of its expected future cash flows. Expected future cash flows are based on assumptions about the collateral attributes, including prepayment speeds, default rates and changes in value.

 

Common Stocks. Common stocks are carried at fair value except for common stock of affiliates that are valued using methods described below.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Subsidiary, Controlled, and Affiliated (SCA) Entities. Subsidiary, controlled, and affiliated entities are reported using the statutory equity method based on the entity’s audited equity prepared using NAIC SAP or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as appropriate in accordance with SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled, and Affiliated Entities. These entities are presented on the balance sheet as common stock or other invested assets.

 

Commercial Mortgage Loans. Mortgage loans held by the Company are made exclusively to commercial borrowers at a fixed rate of interest. Commercial mortgage loans are carried at unpaid principal balances or, if impaired, the lower of unpaid principal or fair value of the underlying real estate. If the fair value of the underlying real estate is less than unpaid principal on an impaired loan, a valuation reserve is recorded. Commercial mortgage loans are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will not collect amounts due according to the terms of the original loan agreement. The Company monitors credit risk and assesses the impairment of loans individually and on a consistent basis for all loans in the portfolio. The Company estimates the fair value of the underlying real estate using internal valuations generally based on discounted cash flow analyses. Certain commercial mortgage loans without valuation reserves may be considered impaired because the Company may not collect all interest due according to the terms of the original agreements. However, the Company expects to recover its remaining carrying value in these circumstances primarily because the fair value of the underlying real estate exceeds the carrying value of these loans.

 

Policy Loans. Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances plus accumulated interest. The loans are collateralized by insurance policy cash values and, therefore, have no exposure to credit loss.

 

Real Estate. Real estate can be occupied by the Company, held for the production of income, or held for sale. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, real estate was classified as occupied by the Company or held for the production of income, and carried at depreciated cost less encumbrances; any write downs to fair value due to impairment are recorded as realized losses. Impairment is assessed when cash flows indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the fair value of real estate using internal valuations generally based on discounted cash flow analyses. Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the particular real estate asset. At the time of foreclosure, properties are reclassified from commercial mortgage loans to real estate or other invested assets depending on the ownership of the underlying assets.

 

Joint Ventures, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies. In accordance with SSAP No. 48, Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies, joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies are reported in other invested assets and generally use the statutory equity method as defined. Limited partnerships in which the Company has a minor ownership interest are recorded based on the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments. Statutory accounting rules provide that in order to qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative shall be designated as a hedge of a specific asset, liability, or anticipated transaction or portfolio of specific assets or specific liabilities. The item to be hedged must expose the reporting entity to a risk, and the designated derivative transaction must be highly effective in reducing that exposure. Conditions that expose the reporting entity to risk include changes in fair value, yield, price, cash flows and foreign exchange rates. Under hedge accounting, the derivative is accounted for in a manner consistent with the hedged item. When hedge accounting treatment does not apply, derivatives used in hedging transactions are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized gains and losses until contract termination or closing, when realized gains and losses are recognized in net income.

 

Net Investment Income. When interest and principal payments on investments are current, the Company recognizes interest income when it is earned. The Company stops recognizing interest income for bonds when interest payments are 90 days past due and for commercial mortgage loans when payment is considered delinquent or when certain terms (interest rate or maturity date) of the investment have been restructured. Net investment income on these investments is only recognized when interest payments are received. See Note 4 for further information.

 

Investment Gains and Losses. Unrealized capital gains and losses on investments carried at fair value are reflected directly in unassigned surplus. Realized capital gains and losses resulting from sales, asset write-downs and changes in valuation reserves are based on specifically identified assets and are recognized in net income, subject to the interest maintenance reserve policy described below.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(4)              Non-admitted Assets: In accordance with NAIC SSAPs, certain assets or certain portions of assets are excluded from the Company’s admitted assets on its balance sheet through a direct charge to unassigned surplus. Certain assets are limited by factors, such as a percentage of surplus, as to the amounts that qualify as admitted assets. Such assets include electronic data processing equipment and deferred tax assets.

 

(5)              Goodwill and Other Intangibles: Goodwill and other intangible assets include purchased customer relationships, provider networks and state licenses. The Company amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis over periods up to ten years, and revises amortization periods if it believes there has been a change in the length of time than an intangible asset will continue to have value.

 

(6)              Separate Accounts: Separate Account assets and liabilities are contractholder funds maintained in accounts with specific investment objectives. The assets of these accounts are legally segregated and insulated from the general account of the Company and are not subject to claims that arise out of any of the Company’s other businesses. The separate account assets are largely carried at fair value. Separate account liabilities are established in amounts that are adequate to meet estimated future obligations to contractholders and plan participants. The investment income, gains and losses of these accounts generally accrue to the contractholders and, therefore, do not affect the Company’s net income. Premiums received and benefits paid on separate accounts flow through the general account and result in transfers between the two, which are reported in the Company’s net income.

 

(7)              Premium and Deposit Fund Liabilities: Premium and deposit funds are liabilities for investment-related products. These liabilities primarily consist of deposits received from customers and accumulated net investment income on their fund balances less accumulated administrative charges according to contract terms and customers’ experience.

 

(8)              Aggregate Reserves: Aggregate reserves for life, accident, health, disability, and annuity policies are established in amounts that are adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force and that equal or exceed the required statutory minimums. For individual life policies, liabilities are calculated using the net level premium method and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method. Annuity liabilities are calculated in such a way that they equal or exceed those produced by application of the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method. Valuation of individual life insurance and annuity policies assumes interest discount at rates that do not exceed the statutory maximums. Discount rates ranged from 1.00% to 11.25% in 2020 and from 1.50% to 11.25% in 2019, with some rates grading to lower levels over time. Mortality and morbidity assumptions are predominately based on industry tables and are at least as conservative as the statutory minimums.

 

During 2020 the valuation basis for a block of run-out LTD claims was changed from using the 1987 Commissioner’s Group Disability Table with company experience to the 2012 Group Long Term Disability Valuation Table with company experience. This change resulted in an immaterial change to the reserve.

 

(9)              Premiums and Annuity and Other Considerations: Premiums for individual life insurance, individual and group annuity products, group life and accident and health insurance are considered revenue when due.

 

(10)       Other Policy and Contract Liabilities: Liabilities for other policy and contract claims are estimates of payments to be made on insurance claims for reported losses and estimates of incurred but not reported losses. Estimated amounts of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses are deducted from the liability for unpaid claims. Estimated liabilities are established for policies that contain experience-rating provisions according to contract terms and using the customer’s experience.

 

(11)       Income Taxes: The Company is included in the consolidated United States federal income tax return filed by Cigna. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Cigna, federal income taxes are allocated to the Company as if it were filing on a separate return basis. The tax benefit of net operating losses, capital losses and tax credits are funded to the extent they reduce the consolidated federal income tax liability. The Company generally recognizes deferred income taxes when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes (temporary differences). Limitations of the admitted amount of the deferred tax asset are calculated in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, a Replacement of SSAP 10R and SSAP 10. More detailed information about the Company’s income taxes is disclosed in Note 7.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(12)       Participating Business: The Company’s participating life insurance policies entitle policyholders to earn dividends that represent a portion of the earnings of the Company’s participating line of business.

 

(13)       Other Liabilities: Other liabilities consist of various insurance-related liabilities including amounts related to deposit-type contracts, reinsurance contracts, amounts withheld or retained by company as agent or trustee, and escheat liabilities. Legal costs to defend the Company’s litigation and arbitration matters are expensed when incurred in cases where the Company cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate cost to defend. In cases where the Company can reasonably estimate the cost to defend, these costs are recognized when the claim is reported.

 

(14)       Premium Deficiency Reserves: The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in a premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

 

(15)       Asset Valuation Reserve (AVR): The AVR is a reserve designed to reduce the impact on unassigned surplus of fluctuations in the fair value of all invested assets by providing an investment reserve for potential future losses on invested assets. The AVR is calculated in accordance with methods prescribed by the NAIC.

 

(16)       Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR): The IMR is a reserve designed to defer realized capital gains and losses resulting from general interest rate changes. As prescribed by the NAIC, such realized capital gains and losses, net of related taxes, are deferred and amortized to net investment income over the stated or expected maturity of the invested asset disposed. To the extent the deferral of capital losses results in a net asset, such amount will be non-admitted.

 

(17)       Reinsurance in Unauthorized Companies: The Company has ceded insurance liabilities with insurers not licensed in Connecticut, or not approved by the Department. To the extent such liabilities are not covered by collateral or other security, Connecticut insurance regulations require the establishment of a liability through a charge to surplus equal to the ceded liabilities placed with such companies. These liabilities were approximately $2 million as of December 31, 2020 and and less than $1 million as of December 31, 2019.

 

(18)       Risk Sharing Provisions of the Affordable Care Act: Beginning in 2014, as prescribed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), three programs went into effect to reduce the risk for participating health insurance companies selling coverage on the public exchanges. These programs include a three-year (2014-2016) reinsurance program and a premium stabilization program comprised of a permanent component and a temporary (2014-2016) component. The Company accounts for these programs in accordance with SSAP 107, Accounting for the Risk-Sharing Provisions of the Affordable Care Act.  See Note 19E for additional information.

 

(19)       Section 9010 Insurer Fee: Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted SSAP 106, Affordable Care Act Assessments, for the health insurance industry fee imposed under Section 9010 of the ACA.

 

(20)       Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Rebate Receivable. Pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates receivable are recorded when earned based on actual rebates billed and an estimate of receivables based on current utilization of specific pharmaceuticals and contract terms.

 

(21)       Performance Guarantees. The Company provides performance guarantees associated with meeting certain service standards, clinical outcomes or financial metrics. If these service standards, clinical outcomes or financial metrics are not met, the Company may be financially at risk up to a stated percentage of the contracted fee or a stated dollar amount. The Company establishes deferred revenues for estimated payouts associated with these performance guarantees.

 

(22)       Differences between NAIC SAP and GAAP: Statutory accounting principles as described above differ in some respects from GAAP. Principal differences under GAAP from these statutory financial statements include the following:

 

·                       Aggregate reserves for life policies are calculated using mortality, interest and expense assumptions derived from the Company’s own experience or various actuarial tables.

·                       Bonds and preferred stocks classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Adjustments to fair value are recorded in shareholders’ equity as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, net of amounts required to adjust future policy benefits for run-off settlement annuity business and deferred income taxes.

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

·                       GAAP deferred tax assets or liabilities include financial statement items that are recognized differently for GAAP than for statutory accounting purposes. The GAAP tax asset does not currently include a valuation allowance which reflects management’s assessment as to whether certain deferred tax assets will be realizable. These assessments could be revised in the near term if underlying circumstances change. Statutory deferred tax assets are limited to the admittable amount allowed in accordance with SSAP 101.

·                       Acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated contract period of the related policies.

·                       Costs  for  certain  stock  option  grants  under  equity  compensation  plans  sponsored  by  Cigna  as  calculated  in  accordance  with Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation” are not included in net income or contributed capital.

·                       A transition obligation for postretirement benefits other than pensions was fully recognized in 1992. The postretirement benefit obligation other than pensions includes a portion accrued for employees not currently eligible for postretirement benefits as calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 715 “Compensation — Retirement Benefits”.

·                       Reinsurance recoverables are presented as assets and are not netted against insurance liabilities.

·                       Investments in subsidiaries are consolidated under GAAP.

 

In addition, other principal differences under GAAP from these statutory financial statements include the following:

·                       Non-admitted assets (including furniture and equipment, goodwill and intangibles) less applicable allowance accounts are restored to the balance sheet.

·                       The asset valuation reserve (AVR) and interest maintenance reserve (IMR) are not recorded.

·                       The liability for reinsurance in unauthorized companies is not recorded.

 

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGES, CORRECTIONS OF ERRORS, AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FILED ANNUAL STATEMENT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

 

As a result of a Connecticut Insurance Department (CID) coordinated audit, the Company became aware of an error in its 2011 to 2019 financial statements related to the Company’s treatment of rebates received from pharmaceutical manufacturers. Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company (CHLIC) and the Company, related parties, performed pharmacy benefits services for fourteen affiliated Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) during those years without an approved intercompany agreement. CHLIC and the Company collected and retained all related pharmacy manufacturer rebates. This arrangement has been superseded by the 2019 Pharmacy Benefit Services Agreement (PBSA) between the Company and Express Scripts.

 

During December 2020, CID instructed CHLIC and the Company to reimburse the HMOs for the applicable pharmacy rebates. As permitted by SSAP No 3 — Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors the Company reported the correction of the error as an adjustment to unassigned funds (surplus) at December 31, 2020. As a result this correction has no impact on net income for years ended 2019 and 2020 or to reported assets, liabilities or surplus for year ended December 31, 2019. This resulted in a $27.9 million increase in Intercompany Payable and a $27.9 million decrease to Surplus for December 31, 2020.

 

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

 

A.                 Sales of Retirement Benefits and Individual Insurance Business

 

On April 1, 2004, the Company sold its retirement benefits business, excluding the corporate-owned life insurance business to Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC). In connection with the January 1, 2005 transfer to PRIAC of certain separate account assets related to the retirement benefits business under a modified coinsurance arrangement, the Company received units of PRIAC’s separate accounts and carries those units as separate account assets on its balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, there was $17 million of separate account assets and liabilities associated with this modified coinsurance business.

 

Excluded from the Company’s reported separate account assets and liabilities are $46 million at December 31, 2020 of separate account assets and liabilities that are fully reinsured by PRIAC under indemnity coinsurance arrangements. The Company guarantees, and PRIAC reinsures these guarantees, that separate account assets will be sufficient to pay certain retiree benefits. For the majority of the benefits, the sponsoring employers are primarily responsible for ensuring that assets are sufficient to pay these benefits and are required to maintain assets that exceed a certain percentage of benefit obligations. If employers do not maintain the required levels of separate account assets, the Company or PRIAC has the right to redirect the management of the related assets to provide for benefit payments. There were no additional liabilities required for these guarantees, net of reinsurance, as of December 31, 2020.

Review of Declines in Fair Value

 

Management reviews bonds with a decline in fair value from cost for impairment based on criteria that include:

 

·                       length of time and severity of decline;

·                       financial health and specific near term prospects of the issuer;

·                       changes in the regulatory, economic or general market environment of the issuer’s industry or geographic region; and

·                       the Company’s intent to sell or the likelihood of a required sale prior to recovery.

 

Based on this review, management believes the unrealized depreciation below to be temporary and, therefore, has not impaired these amounts. Bonds with a decline in fair value from cost (primarily investment grade corporate bonds) were as follows, including the length of time of such decline:

The unrealized depreciation of investment grade bonds is primarily due to increases in market yields since purchase.  Net realized investment gains and losses before taxes and interest maintenance reserve included other-than-temporary impairments of bonds of $16 million in 2020 and $0 in 2019.

 

Cash and Liquidity Pools

 

The Company’s liquidity pool is an investment fund used to efficiently manage cash on behalf of wholly-owned Cigna Corporation subsidiaries. The Company’s liquidity pool balance as of December 31, 2020 was $28 million and was comprised of cash equivalents (91%) and short-terms (9%).

Credit Quality

 

The Company regularly evaluates and monitors credit risk, beginning with the initial underwriting of a mortgage loan and continuing throughout the investment holding period. Mortgage origination professionals employ an internal credit quality rating system designed to evaluate the relative risk of the transaction at each loan’s origination that is then updated each year as part of the annual portfolio loan review. The Company evaluates and monitors credit quality on an ongoing basis, classifying each loan as a loan in good standing, potential problem loan or problem loan.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Quality ratings are based on our evaluation of a number of key inputs related to the loan, including real estate market-related factors such as rental rates and vacancies, and property-specific inputs such as growth rate assumptions and lease rollover statistics. However, the two most significant contributors to the credit quality rating are the debt service coverage and loan-to-value ratios. The debt service coverage ratio measures the amount of property cash flow available to meet annual interest and principal payments on debt with a ratio below 1.0 indicating that there is not enough cash flow to cover the required loan payments. The loan-to-value ratio, commonly expressed as a percentage, compares the amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan.

 

The following tables summarize the credit risk profile of the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio based on loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

The Company’s annual in-depth review of its commercial mortgage loan investments is the primary mechanism for identifying emerging risks in the portfolio. The most recent review was completed by the Company’s investment professionals in the second quarter of 2020 and included an analysis of each underlying property’s most recent annual financial statements, rent rolls, operating plans, budgets, a physical inspection of the property and other pertinent factors. Based on historical results, current leases, lease expirations and rental conditions in each market, the Company estimates the current year and future stabilized property income and fair value, and categorizes the investments as loans in good standing, potential problem loans or problem loans. The results of the 2020 review showed consistency from the prior year in each of the key metrics and confirmed the overall strength of the portfolio. Based on property valuations and cash flows estimated as part of this review, and considering updates for loans where material changes were subsequently identified, the portfolio’s average loan-to-value ratio increased to 61% at December 31, 2020 from 49% at December 31, 2019, primarily due to collateral value changes in the underlying properties. The portfolio’s average debt service coverage ratio decreased to 2.02 at December 31, 2020 from 2.11 at December 31, 2019, reflective of a short-term strain on income from certain property types.

 

The company will reevaluate a loan’s credit quality between annual reviews if new property information is received or events such as delinquency or a borrower’s request for restructure cause management to believe that the Company’s estimate of financial performance, fair value or the risk profile of the underlying property has been impacted.

 

There were no loans restructured during 2020 and 2019.

 

Potential problem mortgage loans are considered current (no payment more than 59 days past due), but exhibit certain characteristics that increase the likelihood of future default. The characteristics management considers include, but are not limited to, the deterioration of debt service coverage below 1.0, estimated loan-to-value ratios increasing to 100% or more, downgrade in quality rating and request from the borrower for restructuring. In addition, loans are considered potential problems if principal or interest payments are past due by more than 30 but less than 60 days. Problem mortgage loans are either in default by 60 days or more or have been restructured as to terms, which could include concessions on interest rate, principal payment or maturity date. The Company monitors each problem and potential problem mortgage loan on an ongoing basis, and updates the loan categorization and quality rating when warranted.

 

There were no problem or potential problem mortgage loans at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Impaired Commercial Mortgage Loans

 

A commercial mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the terms of the original loan agreement. The Company assesses each loan individually for impairment, utilizing the information obtained from the quality review process discussed above. Impaired loans are carried at the lower of unpaid principal balance or the fair value of the underlying real estate. In some cases when it is probable that the Company will not collect all interest due under the original agreements, the loan will be considered impaired but a related valuation reserve will not be recorded because the fair value of the underlying real estate is higher than the remaining carrying value of the loan.

 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no impaired commercial mortgage loans and no valuation reserves associated with impaired loans.

 

The Company recognizes interest income on problem mortgage loans only when payment is actually received because of the risk profile of the underlying investment.  There were no non-accrual commercial mortgage loans for 2020 or 2019.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(4)              As of December 31, 2020, loan-backed and structured securities with a decline in fair value from amortized cost were as follows, including the length of time of such decline:

 

(in millions)

 

 

 

 

 

a.              The aggregate amount of unrealized losses:

2. 12 Months or Longer

 

$

(5)              Management reviews loan-backed and structured securities with a decline in fair value from cost for impairment based on criteria that include:

 

·                       length of time and severity of decline;

·                       financial and specific near-term prospects of the issuer;

·                       changes in the regulatory, economic, or general market environment of the issuer’s industry or geographic region; and

·                       the Company’s intent to sell or the inability or lack of intent to retain the investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost.

 

Based on this review, management believes the unrealized depreciation on loan-backed securities to be temporary and, therefore, has not impaired these amounts.

 

F.                  Dollar Repurchase Agreements and/or Securities Lending Transactions

 

Repurchase agreements with banks and security dealers are subject to company authorization guidelines that require securities be issued by the U.S. Treasury or a U.S. Government Agency or Sponsored Enterprise. The Company has a signed/executed a Master Repurchase Agreement with each dealer.  All active dealers must be on an approved list that is monitored by a credit group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 6 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

A.            Derivatives under SSAP No. 86 - Derivatives

 

(1)         The Company’s strategy is to manage the characteristics of investment assets (such as duration, yield, currency and liquidity) to meet the varying demands of the related policy and contract liabilities (such as paying claims, investment returns and withdrawals). As part of this investment strategy, the Company typically uses derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risks. The Company routinely monitors exposure to credit risk associated with derivatives and diversifies the portfolio among approved dealers of high credit quality to minimize this risk. The loss that the Company would incur if all dealers completely failed to perform under derivative contracts totals the fair values owed by dealers of $4 million and $13 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has entered arrangements (Credit Support Annexes to ISDA Master Agreements) requiring the posting of collateral for credit risk management purposes with many of its over the counter (OTC) derivatives counterparties. This collateral backs OTC derivative transactions (primarily interest rate and foreign currency swaps hedging fixed income securities). The fair value of collateral posted by the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $18 million and $1 million, respectively.

 

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be designated as a hedge of a specific asset, liability, anticipated transaction, or a portfolio of specific assets or specific liabilities. The item to be hedged must expose the reporting entity to a risk and the designated derivative transaction must be highly effective in reducing that exposure. Conditions that expose the reporting entity to risk include changes in fair value, yield, price, cash flows and foreign exchange rates. Under hedge accounting, the derivative is accounted for in a manner consistent with the hedged item.

 

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s derivative contracts were as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk

 

To hedge the interest and/or foreign currency cash flows of bonds to match associated liabilities. Currency swaps include Japanese yen and Euros for a period of less than one year.

 

The Company periodically exchanges cash flows between two currencies for both principal and interest payments.

 

Using cash flow hedge accounting, swaps are reported at amortized cost. Changes in value due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in other invested assets or other liabilities, and unrealized gains and losses. Net interest cash flows are reported in net investment income and cash from operations.

To hedge the foreign exchange related changes in fair value of certain of the Company’s bonds. Currency swaps include Euros, British pounds and Australian dollars for periods of up to 29 years.

 

The Company periodically exchanges cash flows between two currencies for both principal and interest payments.

 

Using fair value hedge accounting, swaps are reported at amortized cost. Changes in value due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in other invested assets or other liabilities, and unrealized gains and losses. Net interest cash flows are reported in net investment income and cash from operations.

Interest Rate Risk

 

To hedge the possibility of policyholder cash surrender when underlying investment book values are greater than market values.

 

The Company pays periodic fees to third parties, and may receive or pay cash upon the policyholder’s surrender of the policy, based on book and market values of underlying investments at the time of surrender.

 

Using cash flow hedge accounting, options are reported at amortized cost in other invested assets or other liabilities, with amortization reported in increase in aggregate reserves for life and accident and health contracts. These cash flows will be reported in cash from operations.

 

(3)         The Company’s accounting for the above derivatives follows SSAP No. 86 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging, Income Generation, and Replication (Synthetic Asset) Transactions for those derivatives entered into after January 1, 2003 and SSAP No. 31 Derivative Instruments for those derivatives held prior to that date. Derivatives that use hedge accounting are part of highly effective hedge programs, and as such the accounting follows that of the respective hedged item.

 

(4)         Derivative contracts with financing premiums — Not applicable.

 

(5)         The net unrealized gains or losses during the reporting periods representing the component of the derivative instrument’s gain or loss, if any, excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. — None.

G.        Federal or Foreign Income Tax Loss Contingencies

 

(1)         The statute of limitations for Cigna’s consolidated income tax returns through 2016 have closed. Cigna has filed amended consolidated tax returns for various years and the pending refunds are subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) review. Cigna is currently under examination for 2015 and 2017. The IRS has examined ESI’s tax returns for 2010 through 2012 for which there is a significant disputed tax matter, and ESI is currently under examination for 2013 through 2017. No material impacts are anticipated for the Company.

 

(2)         In management’s opinion, the Company has adequate tax liabilities to address potential exposures involving tax positions the Company has taken that may be challenged by the IRS upon audit. These liabilities could be revised in the near term if estimates of Cigna’s ultimate liability change as a result of new developments or a change in circumstances. No material contingent tax liability is included in the Company’s current federal income tax payable. The Company does not expect a significant increase in federal or foreign contingent tax liability within the next twelve months.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

E.            The Company and certain related parties have entered into service contracts and cost-sharing arrangements, including an Expense Sharing Agreement in which the parties share expenses for certain shared services. These arrangements include providing or being provided with management, computers, claims processing, data processing, policy writing, maintenance and other services, as well as equipment, supplies and office space. Cigna allocates to the Company its share of operating expenses incurred at the corporate level. The Company also allocates a portion of its operating expenses to affiliated companies for which it performs certain administrative services.

 

The following arrangements are between the Company and its affiliates which are either owned or controlled by Cigna.

 

(1)         The Company was provided certain medical utilization review services by Cigna Health Management, Inc. (CHM), for which the Company paid approximately $1 million in 2020 and 2019.  CHM is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CGC.

 

(2)         The Company has contracted with Cigna Investments, Inc. (CII) for investment advisory services. The Company paid CII $5 million in 2020 and $6 million in 2019 for these services. CII is an indirect subsidiary of Cigna Holdings, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of Cigna.

 

(3)         The Company has an arrangement with its affiliate Cigna Health Corporation (CHC) and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the provision of provider networks and other administrative services for group health benefit plans insured or administered by the Company. There were no fees pertaining to open access or for preferred provider organizations during 2020 and 2019.

 

(4)         The Company is a party to a Management Services Agreement whereby the Company provides billing and other administrative services to various healthplan affiliates on behalf of CHC and is paid for these services by CHC pursuant to the Expense Sharing Agreement.

 

(5)         Cigna allocates operating expenses incurred at the corporate level to its subsidiaries, with the exception of a limited number of expenses retained at the corporate level, such as expenses relating to the servicing of debt and stock compensation. The Company’s share of the allocated operating expenses was approximately $4 million in 2020 and $5 million in 2019. These allocations were based on work effort studies and other appropriate methods, while certain direct expenses such as outside legal fees were directly charged to the Company.

 

(6)         The Company contracts with Cigna Behavioral Health, Inc. (CBH), to provide disease management, mental health and substance abuse services to customers covered by the Company’s insured and self-insured plans. These services include establishing and maintaining a panel of participating providers, utilization management, quality management and claims payment services, as well as lifestyle management programs. The amount for such services was approximately $1 million in 2020 and 2019. CBH is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CGC.

 

(7)         The Company is a party to an Administrative Services Agreement with CBH in which CBH administers the behavioral benefits for fully insured contracts with employer groups. Funds are maintained in the Company’s bank account from which CBH reimburses itself for administrative fees and pays claims. Net proceeds are remitted to the Company quarterly. Administrative fees retained by CBH were approximately $2 million in 2020 and 2019.  Claims paid by CBH from the Company’s account were approximately $1 million in 2020 and $2 million in 2019.

 

(8)         Under an administrative services agreement with CHLIC, both the Company and CHLIC provide various services to each other as needed. CHLIC paid the Company $7 million in 2020 and $8 million in 2019 for services provided by the Company. The Company paid CHLIC $49 million in 2020 and $50 million in 2019 for services provided by CHLIC.

 

(9)         Through a deposit administration service arrangement, the Company receives the lump sum value of certain claims arising prior to February 1, 2012 to be paid to claimants under certain life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance policies from LINA. The Company has established a draft account (Retained Asset Account or “RAA”) on behalf of each of these claimants which is held until the beneficiary withdraws their funds. Benefits for claims arising on February 1, 2012 and subsequent have been established as LINA RAAs rather than the Company’s. As of December 30, 2020, LINA and the Company are no longer affiliated parties. Effective December 30, 2020 the Company entered into an agreement to reinsure its Retained Assets business to LINA. Refer to Note 17 for further discussion of the reinsurance agreement.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(10)  The Company is party to a Master Agreement with CHLIC for the transfer and assumption of certain insurance policies from the Company to CHLIC. Under this agreement, the Company intends to transfer, from time to time, certain insurance policies to CHLIC. CHLIC will assume the direct obligation of performance under such insurance policies.

 

(11)  The Company, CII, and certain related parties, are parties to an investment pooling agreement, which provides for participation in a pool of short-term investments to facilitate effective cash management.  There are no fees separately assessed related to this agreement.

 

(12)  The Company and CHLIC are parties to an Assignment and Consent Agreement whereby various agreements held by the Company in 2011 were assigned to CHLIC. The agreements relate to the administration of self-funded and insured benefit plans sponsored by employers, unions, associations, trustees of multiple employer trusts and other entities. Included are agreements providing network and claims processing services to self-funded employer groups for a fee. Also included are performance guarantee and premium stabilization reserve agreements under which there are no fees directly associated with this arrangement.

 

(13)  The Company, CHLIC, and LINA are parties to a premium collection agreement, which allows LINA to issue bills and collect premiums on behalf of the Company. There are no fees directly associated with this arrangement. As a result of the sale of Cigna’s Group Disability and Life business to NY Life, this agreement was terminated and LINA is no longer an affiliated company effective December 30, 2020.

 

(14)  The Company and LINA are parties to a claims administrative agreement whereby LINA claim offices can administer life, accident and disability claims under policies issued by the Company, or policies that the Company assumed administrative responsibility for, as part of the 2008 acquisition of Great-West companies. As of December 30, 2020, LINA and the Company are no longer affiliated parties.

 

(15)  The Company is a party to Cigna’s Consolidated Federal Income Tax Agreement (the Tax Agreement). The Tax Agreement sets forth the method of allocation of Cigna’s federal income taxes to its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, including the Company. The Tax Agreement provides for immediate reimbursement to companies with net operating losses to the extent that their losses are used to reduce consolidated taxable income; while those companies with current taxable income as calculated under federal separate return provisions, are liable for payments determined as if they had each filed a separate return. However, current credit is given for any foreign tax credit, operating loss or investment tax credit carryovers actually used in the current consolidated return.

 

(16)  Effective July 1, 2015, LINA and the Company entered into a Group Life Insurance Quota Share Reinsurance Contract, primarily covering group universal life policies. As of December 30, 2020, LINA and the Company are no longer affiliated parties. Effective December 30, 2020 the Company entered into a new agreement to reinsure its Group Universal Life business to LINA. Refer to Note 17 for further discussion of the reinsurance agreement.

 

(17)  The Company acts as a lender in a line of credit agreement with Cigna under which the maximum amount that may be loaned is $600 million. Cigna borrowed from this line of credit with the Company during 2020, reaching as high as $300 million. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was a $100 million outstanding receivable balance from Cigna.

 

(18)  Effective September 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Fee Sharing Agreement (the Agreement) with Cigna. Several of Cigna’s subsidiaries are subject to the Health Insurance Providers Fee (the Fee), which is imposed on entities engaged in the business of providing health insurance for any United States health risk. All Cigna entities subject to the Fee, are collectively treated as a single “covered entity” as that term is defined in Section 9010(c) and Treas. Reg. § 57.2(b). By entering into this Agreement, each Party has consented to select Cigna as its designated entity for the payment of this Fee to the United States Treasury. The Agreement allows Cigna to pay the Fee owed collectively by all covered entities in the group, and to perform all necessary and appropriate actions that may be required to fulfill Cigna’s responsibilities as the designated entity. Cigna delegated CHLIC to perform these actions on its behalf. For financial management and reporting purposes, the Fee for each fee year is allocated among the Parties in proportion to estimates of each Party’s premiums for that fee year.

 

F.             There are no guarantees or undertakings, written or otherwise, for the benefit of an affiliate or related party that result in a material contingent exposure of the Company’s or any related party’s assets or liabilities.

 

G.           The Company is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CGC, which is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Cigna Holdings, Inc., which is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Cigna Holding Company, which is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Cigna.

The Company had no capital notes outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

In an agreement dated December 17, 2018, the Company entered into a short term repurchase agreement with an unaffiliated financial institution. The Company lent debt securities and received $100 million cash from the financial institution as collateral. The Company repurchased the lent debt securities and settled the debt on March 20, 2019 for the principal and accrued interest outstanding at that time. The interest rate for the agreement was an annual rate of 3.1% and less than $1 million in interest was incurred.  The agreement was accounted for as a secured borrowing.

NOTE 10 — RETIREMENT PLANS, DEFERRED COMPENSATION, POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AND COMPENSATED ABSENCES AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

 

Consolidated/Holding Company Plans

 

The Company provides certain post-retirement, post-employment and compensated absence benefits through a plan sponsored by Cigna. The Company also participates in a capital accumulation 401(k) plan sponsored by Cigna in that employee contributions on a before-tax basis are supplemented by the Company’s matching contributions. The Company has no legal obligation for benefits under these plans. Cigna allocates amounts to the Company based on salary ratios and member months. The Company’s share of net expense for such benefits was $4 million for 2020 and $5 million for 2019.

 

Cigna froze its primary domestic defined benefit pension plans effective July 1, 2009.  As a result, pension expense is no longer allocated to the Company.

 

NOTE 11 — CAPITAL AND SURPLUS, DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS AND QUASI-REORGANIZATIONS

 

(A)       The Company has 5,978,322 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 with a par value of $5 per share. There are no other classes of capital stock.

 

(B)       The Company has no preferred stock outstanding.

 

(C)       Dividends on Company stock are paid as declared by its Board of Directors. The Company’s dividends are noncumulative. The State of Connecticut insurance laws require prior approval for payment of an extraordinary dividend which is defined as one whose fair market value, together with any other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of 10% of the prior year’s surplus or net income from the prior year.  Net income is defined as income after taxes but prior to realized capital gains or (losses).

 

The maximum dividend that may be made without prior approval in 2021 is $1.9 billion. Any dividends paid in the twelve months preceding a proposed dividend are considered in determining whether a dividend is extraordinary. In 2020, the maximum dividend that could have been made without prior approval was $1.9 billion.

 

(D)       The Company paid $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion noncumulative, common dividends during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The dividends paid in the fourth quarter of 2020 were deemed extraordinary and prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner was obtained.

(H)      The Company does not hold any stock for special purposes.

 

(I)           Special surplus funds are used to segregate surplus for the subsequent year’s Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) Health Insurance Tax. This annual fee was assessed in 2020. As a result, the Company recognized $3 million of segregated surplus in 2019 for the 2020 Health Insurance Tax. With the passage of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 in December 2019, the health insurance industry tax will be repealed effective 2021.  Therefore, the Company has not segregated surplus in 2020.

The Company guarantees that separate account assets will be sufficient to pay certain life insurance or retiree benefits. For the majority of these benefits, the sponsoring employers are primarily responsible for ensuring that assets are sufficient to pay these benefits and are required to maintain assets that exceed a certain percentage of benefit obligations. If employers fail to do so, the Company or an affiliate of the buyer of the retirement benefits business (Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company) has the right to redirect the management of the related assets to provide for benefit payments.

As of December 31, 2020, employers maintained assets that exceeded the benefit obligations under these arrangements of approximately $450 million. An additional liability is established if management believes that the Company will be required to make payments under the guarantees; there were no additional liabilities required for these guarantees, net of reinsurance, as of December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had commitments to:

 

·                  Purchase $39 million of bonds, all of which bear interest at a fixed market rate.  The Company expects to disburse all of the committed amounts during 2021.

·                  Extend credit under commercial mortgage loan agreements for $3 million, all of which were at a fixed market rate of interest.   The Company expects to disburse 100% of the committed amounts during 2021.

·                  Contribute $41 million of additional equity to entities that hold securities diversified by issuer and maturity date.  The Company expects to disburse approximately 27% of the committed amounts during 2021.

·                  Contribute $21 million to limited liability entities that hold either real estate or loans to real estate entities that are diversified by property type and geographic region.  The Company expects to disburse approximately 27% of the committed amounts during 2021.

 

B.            Assessments

 

The Company operates in a regulatory environment that may require its participation in assessments under state insurance guaranty association laws. The Company’s exposure to assessments for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants is based on its share of business written in the relevant jurisdictions. The Company recorded guaranty fund receivables of $5 million as of December 31, 2020 and $5 million as of December 31, 2019.  The Company recorded guaranty fund liabilities of $11 million as of December 31, 2020 and $11 million as of December 31, 2019.

 

Penn Treaty. On March 1, 2017, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania entered an order of liquidation of Penn Treaty Network America Insurance Company, together with its subsidiary American Network Insurance Company (collectively “Penn Treaty”, a long-term care insurance carrier), triggering guaranty fund coverage and accrual of a liability. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded in operating expenses approximately $761 thousand pre-tax (approximately $601 thousand after-tax), representing its estimate of the total assessments, net of premium tax offsets for insurance contracts currently written. Some of the assessments were recorded on a discounted basis, using a weighted average discount rate of 3.5%. As of December 31, 2020, the recorded liability was approximately $9 million. This assessment is expected to be updated in future periods for changes in the estimate of the insolvency. In addition, a portion of this assessment is expected to be offset in the future by premium tax credits that will be recognized in the period received.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

 

Cigna and its subsidiaries including the Company are routinely involved in numerous claims, lawsuits, regulatory inquires and audits, government investigations, including under the federal False Claims Act and state false claims acts initiated by a government investigating body or by a qui tam relator’s filing of a complaint under court seal, and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of managing a health services business. Any disputed tax matters arising from audits by the Internal Revenue Service or other state and foreign jurisdictions, including those resulting in litigation, are accounted for under the NAIC’s accounting guidance for tax loss contingencies.

 

As of December 31, 2020 there were no pending litigation and legal or regulatory matters determined to have a reasonably possible material loss. In light of the uncertainties involved in these matters, there is no assurance that their ultimate resolution will not exceed current expectations. An adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to Cigna’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for any particular period. The outcomes of lawsuits are inherently unpredictable, and Cigna may be unsuccessful in these ongoing litigation matters or any future claims or litigation.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

None.

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

A.            Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified based upon a hierarchy defined by SAP. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a financial asset or liability carried at fair value would be classified in Level 3 if unobservable inputs were significant to the instrument’s fair value, even though the measurement may be derived using inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).

 

Level 1        Inputs for instruments classified in Level 1 include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets accessible at the measurement date. Active markets provide pricing data for trades occurring at least weekly and include exchanges and dealer markets.  Assets in Level 1 include actively-traded U.S. government bonds and exchange-listed equity securities.

 

38


 

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Level 2        Inputs for instruments classified in Level 2 include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices from those willing to trade in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are market observable or can be corroborated by market data for the term of the instrument. Such other inputs include market interest rates and volatilities, spreads and yield curves. An instrument is classified in Level 2 if the Company determines that unobservable inputs are insignificant. Level 2 assets include most private and corporate debt, federal agency and municipal bonds, non-government mortgage backed securities, unaffiliated common stocks, preferred stocks, short term investments, cash equivalents, contract loans and other derivative assets. Separate account Level 2 assets primarily include actively-traded institutional and retail mutual fund investments in separate accounts priced using the daily NAV which is the exit price, and corporate and structured bonds valued using recent trades of similar securities or pricing models that discount future cash flows at estimated market interest rates. Separate account Level 2 assets also include certain investments that are valued using NAV as a practical expedient because a readily determinable fair value does not exist.

 

Level 3        Certain inputs for instruments classified in Level 3 are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) and significant to their resulting fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset at the reporting date. Level 3 assets primarily include mortgage loans and certain newly issued, privately-placed, complex or illiquid securities that are valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

SSAP 100 allows the use of net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient to fair value for investments in investment companies where there is no readily determinable fair value.  As a result of this guidance, $683 million of separate account investments have additional tabular disclosures further describing these investments as of December 31, 2020.

 

1.              Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date

 

The Company carries certain financial instruments at fair value in the financial statements including unaffiliated common stock, bonds and preferred stocks valued at the lower of cost or fair value when reported at fair value at the balance sheet date and the assets of certain separate accounts.

 

The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial assets carried at fair value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Fair values and changes in fair values of separate account assets accrue directly to the policyholders and are not included in the Company’s revenues, expenses or surplus.

(1)   There were no bonds and common stock gains (losses) included in net income attributable to instruments held at reporting date.

 

(2)   Separate Account gains (losses) include realized and unrealized gains (losses) in the value of separate account assets which accrue directly to the policyholders and are not included in the net income of the Company.

 

Changes in the value of bonds and common stock included in net income are reflected in net investment income and realized capital gains (losses), and unrealized gains (losses) are included in surplus. Policyholder gains include realized and unrealized gains (losses) in the value of separate account assets which accrue directly to the policyholders and are not included in net income of the Company.

 

3.              Level 3 Transfers

 

Reclassifications impacting Level 3 financial instruments are reported as transfers in or out of the Level 3 category. Gains and losses in net income and surplus only reflect activity for the period the instrument was classified in Level 3. Transfers into or out of the Level 3 category occur when there is a change in the measurement basis in the period for lower-rated bonds valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Transfers into or out of Level 3 may also occur when observable inputs, such as the Company’s best estimate of what a market participant would use to determine a current transaction price, become more or less significant to the fair value measurement. For the year ended December 31, 2020, bond and common stock Level 3 transfers reflect changes in the measurement basis of bonds between cost and fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, separate account Level 3 transfers were a result of observable inputs becoming more or less significant to the fair value measurements.

 

4.              Valuation Techniques and Inputs

 

The Company estimates fair values using prices from third parties or internal pricing methods. Fair value estimates received from third- party pricing services are based on reported trade activity and quoted market prices when available, and other market information that a market participant may use to estimate fair value. The internal pricing methods are performed by the Company’s investment professionals, and generally involve using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality, as well as other qualitative factors.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company is responsible for determining fair value, as well as the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy, based on the significance of unobservable inputs. The Company reviews methodologies, processes and controls of third-party pricing services and compares prices on a test basis to those obtained from other external pricing sources or internal estimates. The Company performs ongoing analyses of both prices received from third-party pricing services and those developed internally to determine that they represent appropriate estimates of fair value. The controls executed by the Company include evaluating changes in prices and monitoring for potentially stale valuations. The Company also performs sample testing of sales values to confirm the accuracy of prior fair value estimates. The minimal exceptions identified during these processes indicate that adjustments to prices are infrequent and do not significantly impact valuations. An annual due-diligence review of the most significant pricing service is conducted to review its processes, methodologies, and controls. This review includes a walk-through of inputs for a sample of securities held across various asset types to validate the documented pricing process.

 

Level 2 - Because many bonds, preferred and unaffiliated common stocks do not trade daily, third-party pricing services and internal methods often use recent trades of securities with similar features and characteristics. When recent trades are not available, pricing models are used to determine these prices. These models calculate fair values by discounting future cash flows at estimated market interest rates. Such market rates are derived by calculating the appropriate spreads over comparable U.S. Treasury securities, based on the credit quality, industry and structure of the asset. Typical inputs and assumptions to pricing models include, but are not limited to, a combination of benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, liquidity, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. For mortgage-backed securities, inputs and assumptions may also include characteristics of the issuer, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds and credit rating. For investments in investment companies where a readily determinable fair value does not exist, NAV is used as a practical expedient to fair value and classified in Level 2, according to updates to SSAP 100 effective January 1, 2018.

 

Level 3 - In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, fair value is estimated using methods, models and assumptions that the Company believes a hypothetical market participant would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment that becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models.

 

Fair values of mortgage and other asset-backed securities, corporate and government fixed maturities are primarily determined using pricing models that incorporate the specific characteristics of each asset and related assumptions including the investment type and structure, credit quality, industry and maturity date in comparison to current market indices, spreads and liquidity of assets with similar characteristics. For mortgage and other asset-backed securities, inputs and assumptions for pricing may also include collateral attributes and prepayment speeds. Recent trades in the subject security or similar securities are assessed when available, and the Company may also review published research in its evaluation, as well as the issuer’s financial statements.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CONNECTICUT GENERAL CORPORATION)

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Bonds, preferred stock and unaffiliated common stock

 

The Company estimates fair values of bonds, preferred and unaffiliated common stock using prices from third parties or internal pricing methods. Fair value estimates received from third-party pricing services are based on reported trade activity and quoted market prices when available and other market information that a market participant may use to estimate fair value. The internal pricing methods generally involve using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality. In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, fair value is estimated using methods, models and assumptions that the Company believes a hypothetical market participant would use to determine a current transaction price. See detailed discussion above for significant inputs and assumptions used to value bonds, preferred stock and unaffiliated common stock.

 

Commercial mortgage loans

 

The Company estimates the fair value of commercial mortgage loans generally by discounting the contractual cash flows at estimated market interest rates that reflect the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the loans. Market interest rates are derived by calculating the appropriate spread over comparable U.S. Treasury rates, based on the property type, quality rating and average life of the loan. The quality ratings reflect the relative risk of the loan, considering debt service coverage, the loan-to-value ratio and other factors. Fair values of impaired mortgage loans are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral generally determined using an internal discounted cash flow model.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

 

Short-term investments, cash equivalents, and cash are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Short-term investments and cash equivalents are classified in Level 2 and cash is classified in Level 1.

 

Contract Loans

 

Contract loans are carried at unpaid principal balances plus accumulated interest which is estimated to equal the fair value. The loans are collateralized by insurance policy cash values and, therefore, have no exposure to credit loss.  Interest rates are reset annually based on an index.

 

Derivatives

 

Fair values for these instruments are determined using market observable inputs including forward currency and interest rate curves and widely published market observable indices.

 

Other Invested Assets

 

The estimated fair value of other invested assets is determined using the bonds, preferred stock and unaffiliated common stock methodology described above. Other invested assets not considered to be financial instruments are excluded from this disclosure, including investments carried on the equity method.

 

Fair values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments were not material as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

D.            Disclosures about Financial Instruments Not Practicable to Estimate Fair Value — None

 

E.            Investments Measured Using the NAV Practical Expedient

 

Pursuant to SSAP 100, investments in investment companies with no readily-determinable fair value can be measured using the practical expedient of NAV.  The table below provides additional information about these investments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 17 — OTHER ITEMS

 

Other Disclosures and Unusual Items

 

Reinsurance of Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (GMDB) and Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefits (GMIB) Business

 

Effective February 4, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska (Berkshire) to reinsure the GMDB and GMIB businesses. The reinsurance arrangement is subject to an overall limit, of which $3.2 billion remains. In April 2013, Berkshire set up a trust with the Company as the beneficiary. The market value of the assets in the trust at December 31, 2020 was $1.6 billion.

 

Assumed Reinsurance of Settlement Annuity Business

 

Effective December 30, 2020 the Company entered into an agreement to assume the Settlement Annuity business of Life Insurance Company of North America (LINA). In connection with this agreement, the Company set up a trust with LINA as the beneficiary. The book value of the assets in the trust at December 31, 2020 was $1.3 billion.

 

Effective December 30, 2020 the Company entered into an agreement to assume the Settlement Annuity business of New York Life Group Insurance Company of New York (NYLGI). In connection with this agreement, the Company set up a trust with NYLGI as the beneficiary. The book value of the assets in the trust at December 31, 2020 was $136 million.

 

Reinsurance of Group Universal Life and Retained Assets Business

 

Effective December 30, 2020 the Company entered into an agreement to reinsure its Group Universal Life and Retained Assets businesses to LINA. In connection with this agreement, LINA set up a trust with the Company as the beneficiary. The book value of the assets in the trust at December 31, 2020 was $476 million.

 

Retained Asset Accounts

 

Prior to February 1, 2012, the Company had a deposit administration agreement with its affiliated company, LINA, in which the Company held LINA’s Retained Asset Accounts on their behalf. Effective February 1, 2012, all benefits for new claims arising under LINA’s policies (as described below), are being established as Retained Asset Accounts in LINA rather than in the Company. All claims prior to February 1, 2012 continue to be held by the Company.

 

To support the sale of LINA to NY Life, effective December 30, 2020, a Retained Assets reinsurance agreement between the Company and LINA was executed. The agreement cedes 100% of the Company’s interests in the RAA business to LINA, an unaffiliated party effective December 31,2020.  The agreement was approved by CT and  PA Departments of Insurance.

 

Retained Asset Accounts are classified as liabilities for deposit-type contracts. These accounts represent the Company’s method for settling certain life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment claims where the claimant does not specify or request payment in alternate form, or where another form of payment is directed by applicable law. The insurance proceeds are retained in the Company’s general account and credited to a beneficiary’s free interest-bearing account with draft privileges that can be liquidated at any time. The account balance and earned interest are fully guaranteed by the Company. The interest crediting rate is updated weekly and pegged to the Bank Rate Monitor Index, which reflects the average annual effective yield on money markets offered by one hundred large banks and thrifts in the United States. Interest is compounded daily and is credited to accountholders on a monthly basis. The weighted average effective interest rate credited to account holders in 2020 was 0.14%, ranging from 0.09% to 0.21%. Account holders are charged fees only for special services (stop payment requests, checks denied due to insufficient funds, copies of drafts or statements) and are not charged per-draft fees, maintenance charges or withdrawal penalties.

NOTE 18 — Reinsurance

 

The Company enters into agreements with other insurance companies to assume and cede reinsurance. Reinsurance is ceded primarily to limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of direct or assumed losses. Reinsurance is also used in acquisition and disposition transactions when the underwriting company is not being acquired. Reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of liability. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors its concentrations of credit risk.

 

The Company did not have any balances considered uncollectible or written-off for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

In the Company’s income statements, premiums and fees were net of ceded and assumed premiums, and benefits and expenses were net of reinsurance recoveries, in the following amounts:

NOTE 21 — PARTICIPATING POLICIES

 

Premiums under participating policies were approximately $11 million in 2020 and 2019. These premiums represented 3.5% in 2020 and 3.7% in 2019 of total individual group and accident and health premiums earned. The Company accounts for its policyholder dividends in accordance with SSAP No. 51, Life Contracts. The Company paid $11 million in dividends to policyholders in 2020 and 2019, and did not allocate any additional income to such policyholders.

 

NOTE 22 — PREMIUM DEFICIENCY RESERVES

 

The Company had liabilities for premium deficiency reserves of $35 million as of December 31, 2020 and $28 million as of December 31, 2019. The most recent evaluation of this liability was December 31, 2020. On accident and health contracts, the Company did consider anticipated investment income when calculating the premium deficiency reserves.

 

NOTE 23 — RESERVES FOR LIFE CONTRACTS AND ANNUITY CONTRACTS

 

(1)         The Company generally waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of insured and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the date of death.  Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves.

 

(2)         The Company has issued or assumed substandard policies either with rated-up age, or with extra premium, temporary or otherwise, or at a special scale of premiums. In the case of those with rated-up age, the valuation is done at such rated-up age or an equivalent percentage rating.

 

Ordinary policies issued substandard are valued using either a multiple of the standard mortality rates or an addition to the standard mortality rates for flat extras.

For universal life products, the Company guarantees to replace non-performing assets as needed in the event of default and guarantees that upon surrender, the policyholder cash surrender value will be at least equal to a guaranteed accumulation account value.

 

There are limited variable universal life products that guarantee a minimum credited interest rate, excluding credit losses.

 

Under survivor income policies, the Company guarantees that separate account assets will be sufficient to pay benefits through a series of fixed income payments provided to a beneficiary. The sponsoring employer has the primary responsibility to ensure that assets are sufficient to pay these benefits and is required to maintain assets that exceed a certain percentage of benefit obligations.

 

To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account has paid risk charges as follows for the past five (5) years:

 

a.

2020

 

$16 million

 

b.

2019

 

$16 million

 

c.

2018

 

$16 million

 

d.

2017

 

$16 million

 

e.

2016

 

$16 million

 

 

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, no cash payment has been required from the Company’s general account to fund these separate account guarantees.

 

(4)         As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Company’s separate accounts were engaged in securities lending. The Company’s policies and procedures follow applicable statutory guidance, including segregated presentation of reinvested collateral and payable for collateral received whenever the company becomes engaged in securities lending.

NOTE 28 - LOSS/CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

As a result of actual claims paid during the year, incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years were favorable to reserve levels by $4 million in 2020 and 2019. Liability for claims incurred in prior periods is periodically evaluated and adjusted, reflecting recent claim activity. Positive/(Negative) adjustments to the prior year incurred claim levels reflects higher/(lower) than expected claim development compared to the original estimate.

 

The favorable impact is primarily attributable to lower than expected medical cost trends and faster than expected completion factors which included an assumption for moderately adverse experience.

 

The Company took into account estimated anticipated salvage and subrogation in its determination of the liability for unpaid claims/losses which resulted in no change to the liability for the years presented.

 

NOTE 29 — CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

The Company had one customer from which it earned 15% of gross premiums for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the following states had concentrations of 10% or greater of the Company’s total premium:

CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account II

Notes to financial statements

December 31, 2020

1. Accounting Policies and Variable Account Information

The Variable Account: CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account II (the Variable Account) is a segregated investment account of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CG Life) and is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of CG Life. The assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from other assets and liabilities of CG Life. The assets of the Variable Account are owned by CG Life, but are not available to meet the general obligations of CG Life. The Variable Account only offers one product (Flexible Premium Variable Life) at one fee rate.

Effective January 1, 1998, CG Life contracted the administrative servicing obligations of its individual variable life business to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (LNY). Although CG Life is responsible for all policy terms and conditions, Lincoln Life and LNY are responsible for servicing the individual life contracts, including the payment of benefits, oversight of investment management and contract administration.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for unit investment trusts.

Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts as of the date of the financial statements. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts that require use of estimates is the fair value of certain assets.

Investments: The assets of the Variable Account are divided into variable subaccounts, each of which may be invested in shares of one of fourteen available mutual funds (the Funds) of six open-ended management investment companies, each Fund with its own investment objective. The Funds are:

AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds):

Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund - Series I Shares

Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund - Series I Shares

Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund - Series I Shares

Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund:

BNY Mellon Stock Index Fund, Inc. - Initial Class

Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products:

Fidelity® VIP Asset Manager Portfolio - Initial Class

Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio - Initial Class

Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Portfolio - Initial Class

Fidelity® VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio - Initial Class

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust:

Templeton Foreign VIP Fund - Class 1

Templeton Growth VIP Fund - Class 1

MFS® Variable Insurance Trust:

MFS® VIT Growth Series - Initial Class

MFS® VIT Total Return Series - Initial Class

MFS® VIT Utilities Series - Initial Class

MFS® Variable Insurance Trust II:

MFS® VIT II Income Portfolio - Initial Class

Each subaccount invests in shares of a single underlying Fund. The investment performance of each subaccount will reflect the investment performance of the underlying Fund less separate account expenses. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying Fund will be met. A Fund calculates a daily net asset value per share ("NAV") which is based on the market value of its investment portfolio. The amount of risk varies significantly between subaccounts. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment portfolios, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment portfolios will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect contract holders' investments in the Funds and the amounts reported in the financial statements. The contract holder assumes all of the investment performance risk for the subaccounts selected.

Investments in the Funds are stated at fair value as determined by the closing net asset value per share on December 31, 2020. Net asset value is quoted by the Funds as derived by the fair value of the Funds' underlying investments. The difference between cost and net asset value is reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. There are no redemption restrictions on investments in the Funds.

Investments for which the fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient (investments in investees measured at NAV) are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Accordingly, the Variable Account's investments in the Funds have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by the average cost method.

CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account II

Notes to financial statements (continued)

1. Accounting Policies and Variable Account Information (continued)

ASC 946-10-15, "Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946) - Scope and Scope Exceptions" provides accounting guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. This guidance evaluates the entity's purpose and design to determine whether the entity is an investment company. The standard also adds additional disclosure requirements regarding contractually required commitments to investees. Management has evaluated the criteria in the standard and concluded that the Variable Account qualifies as an investment company and therefore applies the accounting requirements of ASC 946.

Dividends: Dividends paid to the Variable Account are automatically reinvested in shares of the Funds on the payable date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes: Operations of the Variable Account form a part of and are taxed with operations of CG Life, which is taxed as a "life insurance company" under the Internal Revenue Code. The Variable Account will not be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Under current federal income tax law, no federal income taxes are payable or receivable with respect to the Variable Account's net investment income and the net realized gain (loss) on investments.

Diversification Requirements: Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account, on which the policy is based, are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury. CG Life believes, based on assurances from the mutual fund managers, that the mutual funds satisfy the requirements of the regulations.

Investment Fund Changes: During 2019, the Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. - Initial Class fund changed its name to BNY Mellon Stock Index Fund, Inc. - Initial Class.

During 2020, the following fund changed its name:

Previous Fund Name

 

New Fund Name

 

MFS® VIT II Strategic Income Portfolio - Initial Class

 

MFS® VIT II Income Portfolio - Initial Class

 

COVID-19 Risk: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was first detected in 2020, has resulted in , among other things, stressors to healthcare service infrastructure, country border closings, business and school closings and disruptions to supply chains and customer activity. This pandemic risk could have a significant adverse impact on subaccount investments.

2. Mortality and Expense Guarantees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Amounts are charged daily to the Variable Account by the Company for a mortality and expense risk charge at a current annual rate of .55% of the average daily net asset value of the Variable Account. These charges are made in return for the Company's assumption of risks associated with adverse mortality experience or excess administrative expenses in connection with policies issued. The mortality and expense risk charges for each of the variable subaccounts are reported in the statements of operations.

CG Life deducts a premium load of 5% of each premium payment to cover its state taxes and federal income tax liabilities. The premium loads for the years ended

December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, amounted to $23,646, $26,906 and $32,500, respectively.

CG Life charges a monthly administrative fee of $15 in the first policy year and $5 in subsequent policy years. This charge is for items such as premium billing and collection, policy value calculation, confirmations and periodic reports. Administrative fees for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, amounted to $14,347, $15,654 and $17,790, respectively.

On a monthly basis, a cost of insurance charge is deducted proportionately from the value of each variable sub-account and/or fixed account funding option. The fixed account is part of the general account of CG Life and is not included in these financial statements. The cost of insurance charge depends on the attained age, risk classification, gender classification (in accordance with state law) and the current net amount at risk. The cost of insurance charges for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, amounted to $832,961, $844,424 and $1,065,921, respectively.

Under certain circumstances, CG Life reserves the right to charge a transfer fee of up to $25 for transfers

between subaccounts. No transfer fees for the variable subaccounts were deducted for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

CG Life, upon full surrender of a policy, may charge a surrender charge. This charge is in part a deferred sales charge and in part a recovery of certain first year administrative costs. The amount of the surrender charge, if any, will depend on the amount of the death benefit, the amount of premium payments made during the first two policy years and the age of the policy. In no event will the surrender charge exceed the maximum allowed by state or federal law. No surrender charge is imposed on a partial surrender, but an administrative fee of $25 is imposed, allocated pro-rata among the variable subaccounts (and, where applicable, the fixed account) from which the partial surrender proceeds are taken. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, full surrender charges and partial surrender administrative charges amounted to $50, $70 and $45, respectively.

Premium load, cost of insurance, administrative, surrender and transfer fees are included within Net unit transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

(2)  These amounts represent the annualized minimum and maximum contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for only those subaccounts which contain investments as of the respective year end. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.

(3)  These amounts represent the total return, including changes in value of mutual funds, and reflect deductions for all items included in the fee rate. The total return does not include contract charges deducted directly from policy account values. The total return is not annualized.

(4)  These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense guarantee charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest. Investment income ratios are not annualized.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
and

Contract Owners of CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account II

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account II ("Variable Account"), as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Variable Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts' financial statements 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 the Variable Account 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 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 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. 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.
