MetLife, Inc.  Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) Continuous Gross Unrealized Loss and OTTI Loss for Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities Available-for-Sale by Sector The following tables present the estimated fair value and gross unrealized loss of the Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities in an unrealized loss position, aggregated by sector and by length of time that the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.
The unrealized loss amounts presented below include the noncredit component of OTTI loss.
Fixed maturity securities on which a noncredit OTTI loss has been recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are categorized by length of time as being “less than 12 months” or “equal to or greater than 12 months” in a continuous unrealized loss position based on the point in time that the estimated fair value initially declined to below the amortized cost basis and not the period of time since the unrealized loss was deemed a noncredit OTTI loss

Each share issued under the 2005 Stock Plan in connection with a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right reduces the number of shares remaining for issuance under that plan by one, and each share issued under the 2005 Stock Plan in connection with awards other than Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights reduces the number of shares remaining for issuance under that plan by 1.179 shares.
At December 31, 2010, the aggregate number of shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan was 40,477,451.
Stock Option exercises and other awards settled in shares are satisfied through the issuance of shares held in treasury by the Company or by the issuance of new shares.
Compensation expense related to awards under the 2005 Stock Plan is recognized based on the number of awards expected to vest, which represents the awards granted less expected forfeitures over the life of the award, as estimated at the date of grant.
Unless a material deviation from the assumed forfeiture rate is observed during the term in which the awards are expensed, any adjustment necessary to reflect differences in actual experience is recognized in the period the award becomes payable or exercisable.
Compensation expense related to awards under the 2005 Stock Plan is principally related to the issuance of Stock Options, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Units.
The majority of the awards granted each year under the 2005 Stock Plan are made in the first quarter of each year.

A rollforward of the fair value measurements for fixed maturity securities and equity securities available-for-sale measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs is as follows:
## Table 5 ##
(1) Includes securities acquired from ALICO of $5,435 million for fixed maturity securities and $68 million for equity securities.
An analysis of transfers into and/or out of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows: ?
Total gains and losses in earnings and other comprehensive income (loss) are calculated assuming transfers in or out of Level 3 occurred at the beginning of the period.
Items transferred in and out for the same period are excluded from the rollforward.  ?
Total gains and losses for fixed maturity securities included in earnings of ($2) million and other comprehensive income (loss) of $19 million respectively, were incurred for transfers subsequent to their transfer to Level 3, for the year ended December 31, 2010.  ?
Net transfers into and/or out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were $53 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and were comprised of transfers in of $1,736 million and transfers out of ($1,683) million, respectively.
Overall, transfers into and/or out of Level 3 are attributable to a change in the observability of inputs.
Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data.
This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency.
Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data.
This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.
Transfers into and/or out of any level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period.
Significant transfers in and/or out of Level 3 assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2010 are summarized below.  ?
During the year ended December 31, 2010, fixed maturity securities transfers into Level 3 of $1,736 million resulted primarily from current market conditions characterized by a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades (e. g. , from investment grade to below investment grade).
These current market conditions have resulted in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of broker quotations and unobservable inputs to determine estimated fair value principally for certain private placements included in U. S.  and foreign corporate securities and certain CMBS.  ?
During the year ended December 31, 2010, fixed maturity securities transfers out of Level 3 of ($1,683) million resulted primarily from increased transparency of both new issuances that subsequent to issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able to corroborate pricing received from independent pricing services with observable inputs, or there were increases in market activity and upgraded credit ratings primarily for certain U. S.  and foreign corporate securities, RMBS and ABS.
See “— Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates — Estimated Fair Value of Investments” for further information on the estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported above.
See “— Fair Value — Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value — Recurring Fair Value Measurements — Valuation Techniques and Inputs by Level Within the Three-Level Fair Value Hierarchy by Major Classes of Assets and Liabilities” in Note 5 for further information about the valuation techniques and inputs by level by major classes of invested assets that affect the amounts reported above.
Fixed Maturity Securities Credit Quality — Ratings.
The Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the fixed maturity security investments of insurers for regulatory reporting and capital assessment purposes and assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories called “NAIC designations.
” If no rating is available from the NAIC, then as permitted by the NAIC, an internally developed rating is used.
The NAIC ratings are generally similar to the credit quality designations of the Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (“NRSROs”) for marketable fixed maturity securities, called “rating agency designations,” except for certain structured securities as described below.
NAIC ratings 1 and 2 include fixed maturity securities generally considered investment grade (i. e. , rated “Baa3” or better by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) or rated “BBB” or better by S&P and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”)) by such rating organizations.
NAIC ratings 3 through 6 include fixed maturity securities generally considered below investment grade (i. e. , rated “Ba1” or lower by Moody’s or rated “BB+” or lower by S&P and Fitch) by such rating organizations.
The NAIC adopted revised rating methodologies for non-agency RMBS, including RMBS backed by sub-prime mortgage loans reported within ABS, that became effective December 31, 2009 and for CMBS and all other ABS that became effective December 31, 2010.
The NAIC’s objective with the revised rating methodologies for these structured securities was to increase the accuracy in assessing expected losses, and to use the improved assessment to determine a more appropriate capital requirement for such structured securities.
The revised methodologies reduce regulatory reliance on rating agencies and allow for greater regulatory input into the assumptions used to estimate expected losses from such structured securities.
The three tables below present fixed maturity securities based on rating agency designations and equivalent designations of the NAIC, with the exception of certain structured securities held by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries that file NAIC statutory financial statements.
Non-agency RMBS, including RMBS backed by sub-prime mortgage loans reported within ABS, CMBS and all other ABS held by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries that file NAIC statutory financial statements are presented based on final ratings from the revised NAIC rating methodologies described above (which may not correspond to rating agency designations).
All NAIC designation (e. g. , NAIC 1) amounts and percentages presented herein are based on the revised NAIC methodologies described above.
All rating agency designation
Equity Units.
In November 2010, the Holding Company issued to ALICO Holdings in connection with the financing of the Acquisition $3.0 billion aggregate stated amount of Equity Units.
The Equity Units, which are mandatorily convertible securities, will initially consist of (i) purchase contracts obligating the holder to purchase a variable number of shares of MetLife, Inc. ’s common stock on each of three specified future settlement dates (expected to be approximately two, three and four years after closing of the Acquisition), for a fixed amount per purchase contract, (an aggregate of $1.0 billion on each settlement date) and (ii) an interest in each of three series of Debt Securities of MetLife, Inc.
The value of the purchase contracts at issuance of $247 million was calculated as the present value of the future contract payments and was recorded in other liabilities.
At future dates, the Series C, D and E Debt Securities will be subject to remarketing and sold to investors.
Holders of the Equity Units who elect to include their Debt Securities in a remarketing can use the proceeds thereof to meet their obligations under the purchase contracts.
See Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Equity Units.
Liquidity and Capital Uses Acquisitions.
The computation of the purchase price of the Acquisition is presented below:

During the year ended December 31, 2009, MICC made repayments of $300 million to the FHLB of Boston related to short-term borrowings.
No repayments were made to the FHLB of Boston during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008.
Debt Repurchases.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Any such repurchases or exchanges will be dependent upon several factors, including our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, general market conditions, and applicable regulatory, legal and accounting factors.
Whether or not to repurchase any debt and the size and timing of any such repurchases will be determined in the Company’s discretion.
Insurance Liabilities.
The Company’s principal cash outflows primarily relate to the liabilities associated with its various life insurance, property and casualty, annuity and group pension products, operating expenses and income tax, as well as principal and interest on its outstanding debt obligations.
Liabilities arising from its insurance activities primarily relate to benefit payments under the aforementioned products, as well as payments for policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans.
For annuity or deposit type products, surrender or lapse product behavior differs somewhat by segment.
In the Retirement Products segment, which includes individual annuities, lapses and surrenders tend to occur in the normal course of business.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, general account surrenders and withdrawals from annuity products were $3.8 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively.
In the Corporate Benefit Funding segment, which includes pension closeouts, bank owned life insurance and other fixed annuity contracts, as well as funding agreements (including funding agreements with the FHLB of NY and the FHLB of Boston) and other capital market products, most of the products offered have fixed maturities or fairly predictable surrenders or withdrawals.
With regard to Corporate Benefit Funding liabilities that provide customers with limited liquidity rights, at December 31, 2010 there were $1,615 million of funding agreements and other capital market products that could be put back to the Company after a period of notice.
Of these liabilities, $1,565 million were subject to notice periods between 15 and 90 days.
The remainder of the balance was subject to a notice period of 9 months or greater.
An additional $375 million of Corporate Benefit Funding liabilities were subject to credit ratings downgrade triggers that permit early termination subject to a notice period of 90 days.
