−Removed: CIG currently provides long-term care, life, annuity, and other accident and health coverage to approximately 124,000 individuals through CGI.
−Removed: The benefits provided by CIG's insurance operations help protect policy and certificate holders from the financial hardships associated with illness, injury, loss of life, or income discontinuation.
−Removed: CIG has a concentrated focus on long-term care insurance and is committed to the continued delivery of best-practice services as established by CIG’s insurance operations to its policy and certificate holders.
−Removed: Through investments in technology, a commitment to attracting, developing and retaining best-in-class insurance professionals, a dedication to continuing process improvements, and a focus on strategic growth, we believe CIG is well equipped to maintain and improve the level of service provided to its customers and assume a leading role in the long-term care industry.
−Removed: CIG’s plan is to leverage its existing platform and industry expertise to identify strategic growth opportunities for managing closed blocks of long-term care business.
−Removed: Growth opportunities are expected to come from:
−Removed: • Future acquisitions of long-term care businesses and/or closed blocks of long-term care policies;
−Removed: • Reinsurance arrangements;
−Removed: • Third party administration arrangements;
−Removed: • Strategically diversifying into other product lines.
−Removed: Long-Term Care Insurance
−Removed: CIG's long-term care insurance products pay a benefit that is either a specified daily indemnity amount or reimbursement of actual charges up to a daily maximum for long-term care services provided in the insured’s home or in assisted living or nursing facilities.
−Removed: Benefits begin after a waiting period, usually 90 days or less, and are generally paid for a period of three years, six years, or the policy holder's lifetime.
−Removed: Substantially all of the in-force long-term care insurance policies were sold after 1995, with all sales then being discontinued in January 2010.
−Removed: Policies were issued in all states except for New York, with Texas being the largest issue state with approximately 20% of the business.
−Removed: The existing block of policies includes both individual and group products, but all individuals were individually underwritten.
−Removed: CIG's long-term care insurance products were sold on a guaranteed renewable basis which allows us to re-price in-force policies, subject to regulatory approval.
−Removed: Profitability of CIG's long-term care block is affected by premium rate increases, persistency, investment returns, claims experience, and the level of administrative expenses.
−Removed: As part of CIG's strategy for its long-term care insurance business, management has been implementing, and expects to continue to pursue, significant premium rate increases on its blocks of business as actuarially justified.
−Removed: Premium rates vary by age and are based on assumptions concerning morbidity, mortality, persistency, administrative expenses, and investment yields.
−Removed: CIG develops its assumptions based on its own claims and persistency experience and published industry tables.
−Removed: Life Insurance and Annuities
−Removed: CIG's life insurance products include Traditional, Term, Universal, and Interest Sensitive Life Insurance.
−Removed: Its annuity products include Flexible and Single Premium Deferred Annuities.
−Removed: CIG's life insurance business provides a personal financial safety net for individuals and their families.
−Removed: These products provide protection against financial hardship after the death of an insured.
−Removed: Some of these products also offer a savings element that can help accumulate funds to meet future financial needs.
−Removed: Annuities are long-term retirement saving instruments that benefit from income accruing on a tax-deferred basis.
−Removed: The issuer of the annuity collects premiums, credits interest or earnings on the policy and pays out a benefit upon death, surrender or annuitization.
−Removed: All life insurance and annuity products are closed to new business.

−Removed: Other Accident & Health
−Removed: CIG’s accident and health products, other than Long-Term Care Insurance, include accidental death, accidental death and dismemberment disability income, hospital expense, hospital indemnity, and major medical individual insurance policies.

−Removed: All products were sold prior to the introduction of the Affordable Care Act and these product lines are closed to new business.
−Removed: If not otherwise exempted from the requirements of the Affordable Care Act, the policies are grandfathered under the Affordable Care Act and not subject to the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
−Removed: A limited number of these policies were guaranteed issued, although the majority of the policies were issued with individual underwriting.
−Removed: CIG's long-term care insurance policies were marketed and sold to individuals between 1986 and 2010 for the purpose of providing defined levels of protection against the significant and escalating costs of long-term care services provided in the insured’s home or in assisted living or nursing facilities.
−Removed: Though CIG no longer actively markets new insurance products, it continues to service and receive net renewal premiums on its in-force Long-Term Care, Life, Annuity, and Other Accident & Health blocks for approximately 124,000 lives.
−Removed: Employees and Operations
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, CIG employed 144 people, the majority of whom are employed on a salaried basis with some on an hourly basis.
−Removed: Besides eleven remote employees working in various states, all other employees typically work out of the home office located in Austin, Texas.
−Removed: However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most employees are working remotely with the exception of certain essential workers remaining in the home office.
−Removed: CIG considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory and has never experienced a work stoppage or other labor disturbance.
−Removed: All operating centers maintain a cost effective and efficient operating model.
−Removed: Administrative Services Agreement
−Removed: On December 24, 2015, an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Administrative Services Agreement") was entered into with Great American, pursuant to which Great American Life Insurance Company ("GALIC") agreed to continue to administer the Insurance Company’s life and annuity businesses for a period of no less than five years.
−Removed: Effective July 1, 2019, the Insurance Company and GALIC entered into Amendment No.
−Removed: 1 to Administrative Services Agreement which removed the five-year duration clause effectively extending the duration of the Administrative Services Agreement.
−Removed: The KIC acquisition included the assumption of numerous existing, or the establishment of new, third party administrator ("TPA") agreements to continue to provide services and perform processes critical (actuarial, claims processing, rate increase work etc.) to KIC’s ability to continue producing outputs.
−Removed: The majority of KIC’s insurance contracts are currently administered by these TPAs.
−Removed: CIG has assumed the administration for the KIC Life and Annuity blocks previously administered by one of these TPAs.
−Removed: CIG reinsures through cession agreements a significant portion of its insurance business with unaffiliated reinsurers.
−Removed: In a reinsurance transaction, a reinsurer agrees to indemnify another insurer for part or all of its liability under a policy or policies it has issued for an agreed upon premium.
−Removed: CIG participates in reinsurance cession activities in order to minimize exposure to significant risks, limit losses, and provide additional capacity for future growth.
−Removed: CIG also obtains reinsurance to meet certain capital requirements.
−Removed: Under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, the reinsurer agrees to reimburse CIG for the ceded amount in the event a claim is paid.
−Removed: Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge CIG's obligations as the primary insurer.
−Removed: If the assuming reinsurer in a reinsurance agreement is unable to meet its obligations, CIG remains contingently liable.
−Removed: In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the terms of the reinsurance agreement, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible.
−Removed: CIG evaluates the financial condition of reinsurers to whom CIG cedes business and monitors concentration of credit risk to minimize our exposure.
−Removed: CIG may also require acceptable collateral to support reinsurance recoverable balances.
−Removed: The collectability of CIG’s reinsurance recoverable is primarily a function of the solvency of the individual reinsurers.
−Removed: Although CIG has controls to minimize its exposure, the insolvency of a reinsurer or the inability or unwillingness of a reinsurer to comply with the terms of a reinsurance contract could have a material adverse effect on CIG’s results of operations.
−Removed: CIG has various quota share reinsurance agreements in place for its long-term care business, with ceded reinsurance totaling $524 million in active life reserves and $125 million in disabled life reserves.
−Removed: Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the gross liability associated with the reinsured policy.
−Removed: Reserves for Policy Contracts and Benefits
−Removed: The applicable insurance laws under which insurance companies operate require that they report, as liabilities, policy reserves to meet future obligations on their outstanding policies.
−Removed: These reserves are the amounts which, with the additional premiums to be received and interest thereon compounded annually at certain assumed rates, are calculated to be sufficient to meet the various policy and contract obligations as they mature.
−Removed: These laws specify that the reserves shall not be less than reserves calculated using certain specified mortality and morbidity tables, interest rates, and methods of valuation required for statutory accounting.
−Removed: CIG calculates reserves in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.
−Removed: GAAP"), which calculations can differ from those specified by the laws of the various states and reported in the statutory financial statements.
−Removed: These differences result from the use of mortality and morbidity tables and interest assumptions which CIG believes are more representative of the expected experience for these policies than those required for statutory accounting purposes and also result from differences in actuarial reserving methods.
−Removed: The assumptions CIG uses to calculate its reserves are intended to represent an estimate of experience for the period that policy benefits are payable.
−Removed: If actual experience is more favorable than our reserve assumptions, then reserves should be adequate to provide for future benefits and expenses.
−Removed: If experience is less favorable than the reserve assumptions, additional reserves may be required.
−Removed: The key experience assumptions include claim incidence rates, claim resolution rates, mortality and morbidity rates, policy persistency, interest rates, crediting spreads, and premium rate increases.
−Removed: CIG periodically reviews its experience and updates its policy reserves and reserves for all claims incurred, as it believes appropriate.
−Removed: The statements of income include the annual change in reserves for future policy and contract benefits.
−Removed: The change reflects a normal accretion for premium payments and interest buildup and decreases for policy terminations such as lapses, deaths, and benefit payments.
−Removed: If policy reserves using best estimate assumptions as of the date of a test for loss recognition are higher than existing policy reserves net of any deferred acquisition costs, the increase in reserves necessary to recognize the deficiency is also included in the change in reserves for future policy and contract benefits.
−Removed: For further discussion of reserves, refer to the risks related to the Insurance Segment within "Risk Factors" contained herein in Item 1A, the discussion of the Insurance segment operating results included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained herein in Item 7, and Note 2.

−Removed: CIG manages its cash and invested assets using an approach that is intended to balance quality, diversification, asset/liability matching, liquidity needs and investment return.
−Removed: The goals of the investment process are to optimize after-tax, risk-adjusted investment income and after-tax, risk-adjusted total return while managing the assets and liabilities on a cash flow and duration basis.
−Removed: CIG’s liabilities are primarily supported by investments in investment grade, fixed maturity securities reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

−Removed: CIG entered into a new Investment Management Agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.
−Removed: (“GSAM”) dated December 23, 2020 to begin providing services no earlier than January 1, 2021.
−Removed: Approximately one-third of the portfolio will be managed by GSAM while the remaining two-thirds remains with the affiliate investment manager, CIG.
−Removed: CIG's insurance company subsidiary is subject to regulations in the jurisdictions where it does business.
−Removed: In general, the insurance laws of the various states establish regulatory agencies with broad administrative powers governing, among other things, premium rates, solvency standards, licensing of insurers, agents and brokers, trade practices, forms of policies, maintenance of specified reserves and capital for the protection of policyholders, deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders, investment activities and relationships between insurance subsidiaries and their parents and affiliates.
−Removed: Material transactions between insurance subsidiaries and their parents and affiliates generally must receive prior approval of the applicable insurance regulatory authorities and be disclosed.
−Removed: In addition, while differing from state to state, these regulations typically restrict the maximum amount of dividends that may be paid by an insurer to its stockholders in any twelve-month period without advance regulatory approval.
−Removed: Such limitations are generally based on net earnings or statutory surplus.
−Removed: Our insurance subsidiary is examined periodically by its state of domicile and by other states in which it is licensed to conduct business.
−Removed: The domestic examinations have traditionally emphasized financial matters from the perspective of protection of policyholders, but they can and have covered other subjects that an examining state may be interested in reviewing, such as market conduct issues.
−Removed: Examinations in other states more typically focus on market conduct, such as a review of sales practices, including the content and use of advertising materials and the licensing and appointing of agents and brokers, as well as underwriting, claims, and customer service practices, and identification and handling of unclaimed property to determine compliance with state laws.
−Removed: Our insurance subsidiary is also subject to assessments by state insurance guaranty associations to cover the proportional cost of insolvent or failed insurers.
−Removed: Financial impact of annual guaranty assessments for CGI has not been material.
−Removed: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), among other things, established a Federal Insurance Office ("FIO") within the U.S.
−Removed: The Dodd-Frank Act requires the promulgation of regulations for the FIO to carry out its mandate to focus on systemic risk oversight.
−Removed: The FIO gathered information regarding the insurance industry and submitted a report to Congress in December 2013.
−Removed: The report concluded that a hybrid approach to regulation, involving a combination of state and federal government action, could improve the U.S.
−Removed: insurance system by attaining uniformity, efficiency and consistency, particularly with respect to solvency and market conduct regulation.
−Removed: The FIO has issued additional reports since that time on various aspects of the insurance sector and insurance regulation.
−Removed: We cannot predict the extent to which any of these matters might result in changes to the current state-based system of insurance industry regulation or ultimately impact the Company’s operations.
−Removed: Risk-based capital ("RBC') standards for U.S.
−Removed: life insurance companies are prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC").
−Removed: The domiciliary state of our insurance subsidiary has adopted a version of the NAIC RBC for Insurers Model Act, which prescribes a system for assessing the adequacy of statutory capital and surplus for all life and health insurers.
−Removed: The basis of the system is a risk-based formula that applies prescribed factors to the various risk elements in a life and health insurer's business to report a minimum capital requirement proportional to the amount of risk assumed by the insurer.
−Removed: The life and health RBC formula is designed to measure annually (i) the risk of loss from asset defaults and asset value fluctuations, (ii) the risk of loss from adverse mortality and morbidity experience, (iii) the risk of loss from mismatching of asset and liability cash flow due to changing interest rates, and (iv) business risks.
−Removed: The formula is used as an early warning tool to identify companies that are potentially inadequately capitalized.
−Removed: The formula is intended to be used as a regulatory tool only and is not intended as a means to rank insurers generally.
−Removed: The RBC ratio for our insurance subsidiary remains in line with our expectations and is significantly above the level that would require state regulatory action.
−Removed: The NAIC has also issued a proposal to implement a new and more granular RBC structure for fixed income asset capital charges.
−Removed: The proposed structure will expand the fixed income asset designations from six to 20 categories and will revise factor values.
−Removed: The new structure related to fixed income assets is not in effect as of December 31, 2020.
−Removed: CIG will continue to monitor the NAIC's activities on this issue.
−Removed: CIG competes with financial services firms with respect to the acquisition of insurance companies and/or blocks of insurance businesses through merger, stock purchase, or reinsurance transactions or otherwise.
