**Forward-looking Statements** 

Certain of the statements contained herein are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "seeks," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," and similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions regarding future economic, competitive, legislative and other developments and their potential effect upon The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "The Hartford"). Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from expectations depending on the evolution of various factors, including the risks and uncertainties identified below, as well as factors described in such forward-looking statements; or in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and those identified from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

• Risks Relating to Economic, Political and Global Market Conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ challenges related to the Company's current operating environment, including global political, economic and market conditions, and the effect of financial market disruptions, economic downturns, changes in trade regulation including tariffs and other barriers or other potentially adverse macroeconomic developments on the demand for our products and returns in our investment portfolios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ market risks associated with our business, including changes in credit spreads, equity prices, interest rates, inflation rate, foreign currency exchange rates and market volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the impact on our investment portfolio if our investment portfolio is concentrated in any particular segment of the economy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the impacts of changing climate and weather patterns on our businesses, operations and investment portfolio including on claims, demand and pricing of our products, the availability and cost of reinsurance, our modeling data used to evaluate and manage risks of catastrophes and severe weather events, the value of our investment portfolios and credit risk with reinsurers and other counterparties;

• Insurance Industry and Product-Related Risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the possibility of unfavorable loss development, including with respect to long-tailed exposures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the significant uncertainties that limit our ability to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for asbestos and environmental claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the possibility of a pandemic, civil unrest, earthquake, or other natural or man-made disaster that may adversely affect our businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ weather and other natural physical events, including the intensity and frequency of thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, wildfires, flooding, winter storms, hurricanes and tropical storms, as well as climate change and its potential impact on weather patterns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the possible occurrence of terrorist attacks and the Company's inability to contain its exposure as a result of, among other factors, the inability to exclude coverage for terrorist attacks from workers' compensation policies and limitations on reinsurance coverage from the federal government under applicable laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the Company's ability to effectively price its products and policies, including its ability to obtain regulatory consents to pricing actions or to non-renewal or withdrawal of certain product lines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ actions by competitors that may be larger or have greater financial resources than we do;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ technological changes, including usage-based methods of determining premiums, advancements in certain emerging technologies, including machine learning, predictive analytics, "big data" analysis or other artificial intelligence functions, advancements in automotive safety features, the development of autonomous vehicles, and platforms that facilitate ride sharing could provide our competitors with a competitive advantage and could impact the rate and severity of claims, as well as the demand for our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the Company's ability to market, distribute and provide insurance products and investment advisory services through current and future distribution channels and advisory firms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the uncertain effects of emerging claim and coverage issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ political instability, politically motivated violence or civil unrest, which may increase the frequency and severity of insured losses;

• Financial Strength, Credit and Counterparty Risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ risks to our business, financial position, prospects and results associated with negative rating actions or downgrades in the Company's financial strength and credit ratings or negative rating actions or downgrades relating to our investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ capital requirements which are subject to many factors, including many that are outside the Company's control, such as National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") risk based capital formulas, rating agency capital models, Funds at Lloyd's

------

and Solvency Capital Requirement, which can in turn affect our credit and financial strength ratings, cost of capital, regulatory compliance and other aspects of our business and results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ losses due to nonperformance or defaults by others, including credit risk with counterparties associated with investments, derivatives, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables and indemnifications provided by third parties in connection with previous dispositions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the potential for losses due to our reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts and the availability, pricing and adequacy of reinsurance to protect the Company against losses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ state and international regulatory limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;

• Risks Relating to Estimates, Assumptions and Valuations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ risks associated with the use of analytical models in making decisions in key areas such as underwriting, pricing, capital management, reserving, investments, reinsurance and catastrophe risk management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the potential for differing interpretations of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions that underlie the Company's fair value estimates for its investments and the evaluation of intent-to-sell impairments and allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities and mortgage loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the potential for impairments of our goodwill;

• Strategic and Operational Risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the Company's ability to maintain the availability of its systems and safeguard the security of its data in the event of a disaster, cyber breach or other information security incident, technology failure or other unanticipated event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the potential for difficulties arising from outsourcing, including vendors and similar third-party relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with capital management plans, expense reduction initiatives and other actions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ risks associated with acquisitions and divestitures, including the challenges of integrating acquired companies or businesses, which may result in our inability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies and may result in unintended consequences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ difficulty in attracting and retaining talented and qualified personnel, including key employees, such as executives, managers and employees with strong technological, analytical and other specialized skills;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the Company's ability to protect its intellectual property and defend against claims of infringement;

• Regulatory and Legal Risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the cost and other potential effects of increased federal, state and international regulatory and legislative developments, including those that could adversely impact the demand for the Company's products, operating costs and required capital levels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ unfavorable judicial or legislative developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the impact of changes in federal, state or foreign tax laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ regulatory requirements that could delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their best interests; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the impact of potential changes in accounting principles and related financial reporting requirements.

Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this document speaks only as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Through its three lines of business, small business, middle & large business, and global specialty, Business Insurance offers its products and services to businesses in the United States ("U.S.") and internationally. Business Insurance generally consists of products written for businesses of all sizes, largely distributed through retail agents and brokers, wholesale agents and global and specialty insurance and reinsurance brokers, serving both admitted and non-admitted markets. The majority of Business Insurance written premium is generated by small business and middle market lines (the portion of middle & large business excluding the loss-sensitive book), which provide coverage options and customized pricing based on the policyholder's individual risk characteristics.

Small business provides coverages for small businesses, which the Company generally considers to be businesses with an annual payroll under $20, revenues under $50 and property values less than $20 per location. The Company serves a broad range of small businesses, with an average written premium of less than $5 thousand per policy. Primary coverages provided include workers' compensation, property, general liability and commercial automobile, with both property and general liability coverages offered as a single package policy, marketed under the Spectrum name. Small business also provides excess and surplus lines coverage to small businesses including property, general liability, umbrella and other coverages.

Middle & large business provides insurance coverage to a broad spectrum of companies, from mid-sized firms to large national accounts. These are businesses whose payroll, revenue and

property values exceed the small business threshold. Middle & large business offers standard commercial lines products, including workers' compensation, property, general liability, commercial automobile and, umbrella and excess products, coupled with global specialty offerings. Middle & large business includes programs business which provides tailored programs, primarily to customers with common risk characteristics. For national accounts, a significant portion of the business is written through large deductible programs. Other programs written within middle & large business are loss sensitive, or retrospectively-rated where the ultimate premium collected from the insured is adjusted based on how incurred losses for the policy year develop over time, subject to a minimum and maximum premium. Also within middle & large business, the Company writes captive business, which provides tailored programs to those seeking a loss sensitive solution where premiums are adjustable based on loss experience. In addition to flexible premium structures, captive programs may offer potential tax advantages, enable a greater degree of self-insurance, and allow clients to retain underwriting profits with improved total cost of risk and enhanced risk management through customized coverage. Additionally, through business partners, middle & large business offers business insurance coverages to exporters and other U.S. companies with a physical presence overseas.

Lines of business written by small business and middle & large business are subject to rate regulation and written pricing increases or decreases that are partly in response to loss cost trends. Workers' compensation rates are based on loss experience and are informed by data submitted through the

Part I - Item 1. Business

National Council on Compensation Insurance ("NCCI"). Workers' compensation rates have been under downward pressure for the industry due to favorable loss cost trends in recent years. General liability and commercial automobile rate increases have been supported by elevated loss cost trends in recent years, while rate increases in property are decelerating.

Global specialty provides a variety of customized insurance products, including property, general liability, marine, professional liability, bond, and excess and surplus lines, for companies of all sizes. Global specialty also offers various products internationally as a sole corporate member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate"). In addition, global specialty also offers assumed reinsurance for various risks including property, liability, surety, marine, credit and political, and agricultural, primarily in Europe and the America's.

Marketing and Distribution

Business Insurance provides insurance products and services through the Company's regional offices, branches and sales and policyholder service centers throughout the United States and, to a lesser extent, overseas, principally in the United Kingdom. The products are marketed and distributed using independent retail agents and brokers, wholesale agents and specialty insurance and reinsurance brokers, with business also sold direct-to-consumer. In addition, the Company offers insurance products to customers of payroll service providers through its relationships with major national payroll companies in the United States and to members of affinity organizations. As the sole corporate member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221, the Company has the exclusive right to underwrite business up to an approved level of premium in the Lloyd's of London ("Lloyd's") market.

In the United States, independent agents, brokers and wholesalers are consolidating. While acquisition activity has slowed, we continue to expect large deals by well positioned companies. This will likely result in a larger proportion of written premium being concentrated among fewer agents, brokers and wholesalers. These distribution partners are looking to exercise more control over the insurance value chain and are leveraging data and analytics for bargaining power. Distribution continues to evolve, with revenue concentration intensifying among larger brokers and wholesalers maintaining secular growth; this dynamic places greater emphasis on carrier enablement, digital connectivity and differentiated service.

Competition

**Small Business**

In small business, The Hartford competes against large national carriers, regional carriers and direct writers. Competitors include stock companies, mutual companies and other underwriting organizations. The small business market remains highly competitive and fragmented as carriers seek to differentiate themselves through product expansion, price, enhanced service and leading technology. Larger carriers such as The Hartford are continually advancing their pricing sophistication and ease of doing business with agents and customers through the use of technology, analytics and other capabilities that improve the process of evaluating a risk, quoting new business and servicing customers. The Company also continuously enhances digital capabilities as customers and distributors demand more access

and convenience, and expands product and underwriting capabilities to accommodate both larger accounts and a broader risk appetite.

Existing competitors and new entrants, including start-up and non-traditional carriers, are actively looking to expand sales of business insurance products to small businesses through increasing their underwriting appetite, deepening their relationships with distribution partners, leveraging emerging artificial intelligence capabilities, and through on-line and direct-to-consumer marketing. Carriers that can quote business in an automated way have a competitive advantage by shortening the time from quoting to issuance. Through its industry-leading ICON quoting tool, The Hartford quotes over 75% of new business policies from admitted markets without human intervention. Emerging artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities are raising customer and distributor expectations for speed and automation and may further reshape how small business customers shop for coverage.

**Middle & Large Business**

Competition in this market includes stock companies, mutual companies, alternative risk sharing groups and other underwriting organizations. In addition, some larger brokers are now becoming competitors through acquisition of managing general agents or managing general underwriters.

The pricing of middle market and national accounts is prone to volatility over time due to changes in individual account characteristics and exposure, as well as legislative and macro-economic forces. National and regional carriers participate in the middle & large business insurance sector, resulting in a competitive environment where pricing and policy terms are critical to securing new business and retaining existing accounts. As a means to mitigate the cost of insurance, middle market and large commercial buyers may opt for loss-sensitive products in-lieu of guaranteed cost policies.

Middle & large business has historically been considered "higher touch" and involves highly specialized expertise, including individual underwriting and pricing decisions. Within this competitive environment, The Hartford is continuing to invest in its underwriting systems and capabilities, including investing in speed to market solutions, enhancing its digital experience, leveraging its sales and underwriting talent and expanding its use of data analytics, artificial intelligence capabilities and third party data to make expert risk selection and pricing decisions as the firm pursues responsible growth strategies to deliver target returns. In product development and related areas such as claims and risk engineering, the Company has expanded its capabilities in industry verticals, such as energy, construction, media arts & entertainment, technology and life science. The pace of change in artificial intelligence and shifting broker influence are increasing the importance of consistency, efficiency and resiliency across the end-to-end underwriting and service experience.

Part I - Item 1. Business

**Global Specialty**

Global specialty competes against multi-national insurance and reinsurance companies, in the U.S and London markets. Global specialty writes many surplus lines of business, which are lines of business not written through standard products licensed or admitted in a state ("nonadmitted"). In recent years, surplus lines have accounted for a significant portion of the total U.S. property and casualty commercial market, and The Hartford continues to grow its surplus book of business. Excess & surplus growth has outpaced the overall market in recent years, though pricing conditions may vary by line as competition increases.

Customers served by the global specialty marketplace expect tailored policy language for their unique risks and, increasingly, are looking for a single insurance carrier to meet all their coverage needs. The Company has been successful in cross-selling global specialty product lines to customers of small

business and of middle & large business and seeks to expand cross-sell opportunities in the future. The Hartford competes on the basis of its underwriting capabilities where it uses data and actuarial insights to enhance risk selection. The Company seeks to drive greater efficiency, shorten the quoting process and improve the customer's experience through expanded use of digital and artificial intelligence capabilities.

Global specialty also writes business in the London market via its Lloyd's syndicate platform. The Lloyd's platform is comprised of over 50 syndicates and 350 brokers, who benefit from the ability to write risks in over 200 countries using Lloyd's international licenses. Lloyd's is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and Prudential Regulatory Authority ("PRA") in the U.K. For further discussion, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Capital Resources and Liquidity.

| Personal Automobile | Covers damage to an individual insured's own vehicle due to collision or other perils and is referred to as automobile physical damage. In addition to first party automobile physical damage, automobile insurance covers liability for bodily injuries and property damage suffered by third parties and losses caused by uninsured or under-insured motorists. Also, under no-fault laws, policies written in some states provide first party personal injury protection. Some of the Company's personal automobile insurance policies also offer personal umbrella liability coverage for an additional premium. |
| Homeowners | Insures against losses to residences and contents from fire, wind and other perils. Homeowners insurance includes owned dwellings, rental properties and coverage for tenants. The policies may provide other coverages, including loss related to recreational vehicles or watercraft, identity theft and personal items such as jewelry. |

Personal Insurance provides automobile, homeowners and personal umbrella coverages to individuals across the United States, mostly through a program designed exclusively for members of AARP ("AARP Program"). The Hartford's automobile and homeowners products provide coverage options and pricing tailored to a customer's individual risk. The Hartford has individual customer relationships with AARP Program policyholders and, as a group, they represent a significant portion of the total Personal Insurance's business.

agents, amounted to earned premiums of $3.4 billion, $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The AARP relationship provides The Company with a competitive advantage to capitalize on the continued growth of the over age 50 population. The mature market continues to expand, supporting sustained demand for tailored products and experiences.

The Company has rolled out its new cloud-based product and platform, Prevail, which is now in market in nearly all states. In mid-2025, Prevail was also introduced in the agency distribution channel and it will continue to roll out over time with 30 state launches planned by early 2027. Prevail is tailored to the mature market and includes digital service capabilities that provide real time transaction support. Among other things, overall rate levels, price segmentation, rating factors and underwriting procedures are being updated through the introduction of Prevail. Personal Insurance works with carrier partners to provide risk protection options for AARP members with needs beyond the company's current product offering.

Marketing and Distribution

Personal Insurance reaches diverse customers through multiple distribution channels, including direct-to-consumer and independent agents. In the direct-to-consumer channel, Personal Insurance markets its products through a mix of media, including digital marketing, direct mail, print advertising, and television. In the agency channel, Personal Insurance provides products and services to customers through a network of independent agents in the standard personal lines market, primarily serving mature, preferred consumers. These independent agents are not employees of the Company.

Personal Insurance has made significant investments in offering direct and agency-based customers the opportunity to interact with the company on-line, including via mobile devices. In addition, its technology platform for telephone sales centers enables sales representatives to provide an enhanced experience for direct-to-consumer customers, positioning the Company to offer unique capabilities to AARP's member base.

Most of Personal Insurance's sales are associated with its exclusive licensing arrangement with AARP, with the current agreement in place through December 31, 2032, to market automobile, homeowners and personal umbrella coverages to AARP's approximately 38 million members. This relationship with AARP, which has been in place since 1984, provides Personal Insurance with an important competitive advantage given the increase in the population of those over age 50 and the strength of the AARP brand.

Prior to May 2021, in most states, new business automobile and home policies were issued to AARP members with a lifetime continuation agreement endorsement, providing that the policies will be renewed as long as certain terms are met, such as timely payment of premium and maintaining a driver's license in good standing. However, beginning in May 2021, Personal Insurance no longer offers the lifetime continuation agreement to new home and automobile policies. The endorsement will remain on renewal policies with original effective dates prior to May 2021.

In addition to selling to AARP members, Personal Insurance offers its automobile and homeowners products to non-AARP customers, primarily through the independent agent channel.

Personal Insurance leverages its agency channel to primarily target the over age 50 preferred mature market, which values the advice of an independent agent and recognizes the differentiated experience the Company provides. In particular, the Company has taken action to distinguish its brand within the over age 50 preferred mature market and improve profitability in the independent agent channel, placing more emphasis on our highly partnered agents.

Competition

The personal automobile and homeowners insurance markets are highly competitive. In 2025, many personal lines insurance companies, including The Hartford, increased marketing spend in order to increase new business production after returning to new business rate adequacy. Personal Insurance is written by insurance companies of varying sizes that compete principally on the basis of price, product, service, including claims handling, the insurer's ratings and brand recognition. Companies with strong ratings, recognized brands, direct sales capability and economies of scale will have a competitive advantage. Industry conditions are evolving as automobile premium growth moderates with improving margin conditions, while homeowners show signs of stabilization even as catastrophe frequency and severity remain a key consideration.

Insurers that distribute products principally through agency channels compete by offering commissions and additional incentives to attract new business. To distinguish themselves in the marketplace, top tier insurers are offering digital and self-service capabilities that make it easier for agents and consumers to do business with the insurer. A large majority of agents have been using "comparative rater" tools that allow the agent to compare premium quotes among several insurance companies. The use of comparative rater tools increases price competition. Insurers that are able to capitalize on their brand and reputation, differentiate their products and deliver strong customer service are more likely to be successful in this market.

The use of data mining and predictive modeling is used by more and more carriers to target the most profitable business, and carriers have further segmented their pricing plans to expand market share in what they believe to be the most profitable segments. The Company continues to invest in capabilities to better utilize data and analytics, and thereby, refine and manage underwriting and pricing. Many carriers, including The Hartford, continue to invest in telematics capabilities to enable better risk selection and pricing segmentation in response to changes in driving patterns. In the states where the Prevail product has been rolled out, The Hartford offers its telematics program, TrueLane, which uses a mobile app solution to offer individualized pricing for policyholders based on their personal driving behavior including such attributes as braking, speed, distracted driving, and acceleration.

Also, automobile technology advancements, including lane departure warnings, backup cameras, automatic braking and active collision alerts, continue to be deployed and are expected to improve driver safety and reduce the likelihood of vehicle collisions. However, these features include expensive parts, contributing to increasing average claim severity.

P&C Other Operations

Property & Casualty Other Operations includes certain property and casualty operations managed by the Company that have discontinued writing new business and includes substantially all of the Company's pre-1986 asbestos and environmental ("A&E") exposures. For a discussion of coverages provided under

| Group Life | Typically is term life insurance provided in the form of a yearly renewable policy. Other life coverages in this category include accidental loss of life and severe injury benefits and business travel accident insurance. |
| Group Disability | Consists primarily of short-term disability, long-term disability ("LTD"), and paid family leave coverages. These products generally provide a percentage of an employee's income for a defined period when the employee is unable to work due to illness, injury, or qualifying family-related leave. Benefits are designed to replace lost wages during periods of work interruption and support employees as they recover or care for eligible family members. Short-term and long-term disability policies have elimination periods that must be satisfied prior to benefit payments. The Company also earns fee income from leave management services for federal, state and employer family and medical leave and workplace accommodation programs, as well as the administration of employer self-funded disability plans. |
| Other Products | Includes other group coverages such as retiree health insurance, critical illness, accident and hospital indemnity coverages. |

---

Employee Benefits provides group life, disability and other group coverages to members of employer groups, associations and affinity groups through direct insurance policies and provides reinsurance to other insurance companies. Group insurance typically covers an entire group of people under a single contract, most typically the employees of a single employer or members of an association. In addition to employer paid coverages, the segment offers voluntary product coverages which are offered through employee payroll deductions. Employee Benefits also offers disability underwriting, administration, and claims processing to self-funded employer plans. In addition, the segment offers a single-company leave management solution, which integrates work absence data from the insurer's short-term and long-term group disability and

workers' compensation insurance business with its leave management administration services.

Statutory paid family and medical leave ("PFML") programs are a source of growth as the Company offers fully insured coverage or administers self-insured coverage for some of these programs. As of year-end 2025, thirteen states and the District of Columbia have enacted mandated PFML programs. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia have also created opt-in paid family leave programs, and additional states are considering adopting PFML programs.

Employee Benefits generally offers term insurance policies, allowing for the adjustment of rates or policy terms at renewal in

Part I - Item 1. Business

order to minimize the adverse effect of market trends, loss costs, changes in interest rates and other factors. Policies are typically sold with one, two or three-year rate guarantees depending upon the product and market segment.

Marketing and Distribution

The Employee Benefits distribution network is managed through a regional sales office system to distribute its group insurance products and services through a variety of distribution outlets including brokers, consultants, third-party administrators and trade associations. Additionally, the segment has relationships with several private exchanges which offer its products to employer groups. Technology providers, including human resources platform vendors, are taking an increasingly prominent role in influencing customer decisions that also influence selection of the employee benefits insurance provider. Carriers across the industry are increasing automated interfaces and digital workflows to meet distributor and employer expectations and to improve service and claim experiences.

Competition

Employee Benefits competes with numerous insurance companies and financial intermediaries marketing insurance products. The market for employee benefits continues to grow as employees and employers continue to demand employee benefits for addressing mental health, wellness, and caregiving costs. Growth is moderating as employment and wage growth slow, while opportunities continue in the small to mid-size segment and in employee-paid supplemental health offerings as employers seek cost relief.

In order to differentiate itself, Employee Benefits uses its risk management expertise and economies of scale to derive a competitive advantage. Competitive factors include the extent of products offered, price, the quality of customer and claims

handling services, digital capabilities, and the Company's relationship with third-party distributors and private exchanges. Active price competition continues in the marketplace, resulting in multi-year rate guarantees being offered to customers. Top tier insurers in the marketplace also offer digital and self-service capabilities to third party distributors and consumers. The relatively large size and underwriting capacity of the Employee Benefits business provides a competitive advantage over smaller competitors.

The Company's market presence has increased in recent years, benefiting from our industry leading digital technology and integrated absence management and claims platform.

Additionally, as employers continue to focus on reducing the cost of employee benefits, we expect more companies to offer voluntary products paid for by employees. Across the industry, the sale of voluntary product offerings, including supplemental health coverage, is growing at a faster rate than employer-provided benefits. Competitive factors affecting the sale of voluntary products include the breadth of products, product education, enrollment capabilities and overall customer service. The Company, as well its competitors, are investing in technology to offer digital capabilities, and to improve product offerings and service levels, particularly with voluntary products.

We offer our voluntary products including critical illness, accident and hospital indemnity coverage to employees through our Employee Choice Benefits programs. The Company's enhanced enrollment and marketing tools, such as digital decision support and personalized recommendations, are providing additional opportunities to educate individual participants about supplementary benefits and deepen their knowledge about product selection.

In addition to providing group disability, leave management and life insurance, we offer integrated claim, leave and benefits administration with The Hartford's Ability Advantage platform.

Part I - Item 1. Business

**Underwriting for P&C and Employee Benefits**

The Company underwrites the risks it insures in order to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification. Risk modeling is used to manage, within specified limits, the aggregate exposure taken in each line of business and across the Company. For property and casualty business, aggregate exposure limits are set by geographic zone and peril. Products are priced according to the risk characteristics of the insured's exposures. Rates charged for Personal Insurance products are filed with the states in which we write business. Rates for most Business Insurance products are also filed with the states but the premium charged may be modified based on the insured's relative risk profile and workers' compensation policies may be subject to modification based on prior loss experience. The Company also writes coverage in the excess and surplus lines market, within global specialty and small business, which is characterized by the absence of regulation related to rate and form and allows for more pricing and coverage flexibility to write certain classes of business. Pricing for Employee Benefits products, including long-term disability and life insurance, is also based on an underwriting of the risks and a projection of estimated losses, including consideration of investment income.

Pricing adequacy depends on a number of factors, including the ability to obtain regulatory approval for rate changes, proper evaluation of underwriting risks, the ability to project future loss cost frequency and severity based on historical loss experience adjusted for known trends, the Company's response to rate actions taken by competitors, its expense levels and expectations about regulatory and legal developments. The Company seeks to price its insurance policies such that insurance premiums and future net investment income earned on premiums received will cover underwriting expenses and the ultimate cost of paying claims reported on the policies and provide for a profit margin. For many of its insurance products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance departments and the Lloyd's Syndicate's ability to write business is subject to Lloyd's approval for its premium capacity each year.

**Geographic Distribution of Earned Premium**

| **Location** | **Business Insurance** | **Personal Insurance** | **Employee Benefits** | **Total** |

| New York | 5% | 1% | 3% | 9% |
| Texas | 5% | 2% | 2% | 9% |

| **Total** | **58%** | **15%** | **27%** | **100%** |

---

*[1]No other single state or country accounted for 5% or more of the Company's consolidated earned premium in 2025.*

**Claims Administration for P&C and Employee Benefits**

Claims administration includes functions associated with the receipt of initial loss notices, claims adjudication and estimates, legal representation for insureds where appropriate, establishment of case reserves, payment of losses and notification to reinsurers. These activities are performed by approximately 6,700 claim employees including, among others, claim adjusters, appraisers, attorneys, doctors, nurses, behavioral health specialists, investigators and data analytics professionals as well as training staff, management, and support staff. The Company contracts with a select number of approved regional, national and international suppliers to enhance claim capabilities and business resiliency.

The Company's claims teams manage losses across the U.S. and internationally, working from locations across the U.S. and in two of our international offices. The teams are organized to meet the specific claim service needs for our various product offerings. The claims organization is supported by data and analytics, technology, and strategy located across the U.S. and in two of our international offices.

As a leading provider of workers' compensation and employee benefits coverages, the Company leverages data analytics to return employees to active, productive lives as soon and safely as possible. Clinical experts focus on opioid usage, vocational rehabilitation, behavioral health and medical case management which we believe provides the Company with a competitive advantage for managing medical costs.

The Company maintains a dedicated catastrophe claims organization that is positioned to respond to large-scale catastrophic events across the country. For the most severe events, the team is supplemented with additional Company staff to respond to claimants promptly after an event.

The Company's claims organization has a nationwide staff of attorneys who represent insureds in key jurisdictions, including dedicated lawyers specializing in complex litigation.

Claim payments for benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses are the largest expenditure for the Company.

Part I - Item 1. Business

**Investment Operations**

Hartford Investment Management Company ("HIMCO") is an Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registered investment advisor and manages the Company's investment operations. HIMCO provides customized investment strategies for The Hartford's investment portfolio, as well as for The Hartford's pension plan and institutional clients.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of HIMCO's total assets under management was approximately $121.9 billion and $112.0 billion, respectively, including $55.6 billion and $50.9 billion, respectively, that were held in HIMCO managed third party accounts and $3.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, that support the Company's pension and other postretirement plans.

**The Hartford's Investment Portfolio of $64.0 billion as of December 31, 2025**

![682](hig-20251231_g13.jpg)

Management of The Hartford's Investment Portfolio

HIMCO manages the Company's investment portfolios to maximize economic value, ensure sufficient funding of the Company's liabilities, and achieve enterprise financial objectives while remaining within acceptable risk tolerances. Portfolio objectives and guidelines are developed based upon the asset/liability profile, including timing and amount of claim payment obligations, investment return opportunity, and risk characteristics. The Company attempts to minimize adverse impacts to the portfolio and the Company's results of operations from changes in economic conditions through asset diversification, asset allocation limits, asset/liability duration matching, and active portfolio management, which may include the use of derivatives. Risk tolerances considered include, but are not limited to, asset sector exposure limits, credit issuer allocation limits, portfolio quality constraints including maximum exposure to below investment grade holdings, and interest rate duration limits. For further discussion of HIMCO's portfolio management approach, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A — Enterprise Risk Management.

**Enterprise Risk Management**

The Company has insurance, operational and financial risks. For discussion on how The Hartford manages these risks, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Enterprise Risk Management.

**Regulation**

State and Foreign Insurance Laws

State insurance laws are intended to supervise and regulate insurers with the goal of protecting policyholders and ensuring the solvency of the insurers. As such, the insurance laws and regulations grant broad authority to state insurance departments ("Departments") to oversee and regulate the business of insurance. The Departments monitor the financial stability of an insurer by requiring insurers to maintain certain solvency standards and minimum capital and surplus requirements; invested asset requirements; state deposits of securities; guaranty fund premiums; restrictions on the size of risks which may be insured under a single policy; and adequate reserves and other necessary provisions for unearned premiums, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and other liabilities, both reported and unreported. In addition, the Departments perform periodic market and financial examinations of insurers and require insurers to file annual and other reports on the financial condition of the companies. Policyholder protection is also regulated by the Departments through licensing of insurers, sales employees, agents and brokers and others; approval of premium rates and policy forms; and claims administration requirements.

Many states also have laws regulating insurance holding company systems. These laws require insurance companies, which are formed and chartered in the state ("Domestic Insurers"), to register with the state department of insurance (referred to as their "domestic state or regulator") and file information concerning the operations of companies within the holding company system that may materially affect the operations, management or financial condition of the insurers within the system. Insurance holding company regulations principally relate to (i) state insurance approval of the acquisition of Domestic Insurers, (ii) prior review or approval of certain transactions between the Domestic Insurer and its affiliates, and (iii) regulation of dividends made by the Domestic Insurer. All transactions within a holding company system affecting Domestic Insurers must be determined to be fair and equitable.

The extent of financial services regulation on business outside the United States varies significantly among the countries in which The Hartford operates. Foreign financial services providers in certain countries are faced with greater restrictions than domestic competitors domiciled in that particular jurisdiction. Our International operations include a Lloyd's Syndicate which is required to meet the minimum market standards set by Lloyd's, as well as UK PRA and UK FCA regulatory requirements. Consistent with the U.K.'s current interpretation of Solvency II, both Lloyd's and the PRA focus on the adequacy of capital held and solvency of an insurer against the risk profile and management of the authorized insurer in setting capital requirements.

Part I - Item 1. Business

Federal and State Securities and Financial Regulation Laws

The Company sells and distributes its mutual funds and ETFs through a broker dealer subsidiary, and is subject to regulation promulgated and enforced by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the SEC and/or, in some instances, state securities administrators. Other subsidiaries operate as investment advisers registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers' Act of 1940, as amended, and are registered as investment advisers under certain state laws, as applicable. Because federal and state laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect investors in securities markets, they generally grant regulators broad rulemaking and enforcement authority. Some of these regulations include, among other things, regulations impacting sales methods, trading practices, suitability of investments, use and safekeeping of customers' funds, corporate governance, capital, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

Failure to comply with federal and state laws and regulations may result in fines, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or suspension, termination or limitation of the activities of our operations and/or our employees.

**Intellectual Property**

We rely on a combination of contractual rights and copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect our intellectual property.

We have a trademark portfolio that we consider important in the marketing of our products and services, including, among others, the trademarks of The Hartford name, the Stag Logo and the combination of these two trademarks. The duration of trademark registrations may be renewed indefinitely subject to country-specific use and registration requirements. We regard our trademarks as highly valuable assets in marketing our products and services and vigorously seek to protect them against infringement. In addition, we own a number of patents and patent applications relating to on-line quoting, insurance related processing, insurance telematics, proprietary interface platforms, and other matters. Patents are of varying duration depending on filing date, and will typically expire at the end of their natural term.

**Human Capital Resources**

The Hartford has approximately 19,200 employees as of December 31, 2025.

Management, including the CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer ("CHRO"), establishes the hiring and compensation practices for our Company. The Board is periodically updated on key workforce metrics. The Board's Audit Committee receives an annual review of the Company's key employee relations measures. The Board's Compensation and Management Development Committee ("Compensation Committee") is regularly updated on employee engagement, turn-over, leader capabilities, future skill development and other workforce measures. In addition, the Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing performance and approving compensation paid to senior executives, and, among other

things, the oversight of succession and continuity planning for senior executive roles, setting the Company's executive compensation policy and administering the Company's Clawback Policy for senior executives. Our Human Resources team, led by our CHRO, supports the Compensation Committee in the execution of its responsibilities. In addition to the day-to-day support and counseling they provide to our leaders, managers and employees, the Human Resources team also monitors key indicators and devises talent strategies based on trends across our employee population including strategic workforce planning, employee engagement, employee relations matters, career mobility, talent attraction, retention, and development.

Talent Attraction, Retention and Development

Our commitment to a robust talent pipeline starts at the top. The Board of Directors engages with the Compensation Committee annually to review senior executive level talent, consider key emerging executive talent and conduct succession planning. In addition, our leadership team conducts a comprehensive annual talent review process across our organization each year.

To keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers and the expectations of employees and external candidates, we focus on a broad array of actions, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Establishing comprehensive hiring strategies across executive, professional, and front-line roles to fill talent needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Providing career growth and development opportunities aligned to our succession and strategic workforce plans through internal mobility, job progressions and learning programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Offering extensive learning and development opportunities to sustain the skills needed for the roles we have today and those we anticipate in the future; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holding leaders accountable for their progress against human capital goals that include development, engagement, mobility, succession, and retention.

For entry-level roles in the organization, we recruit at colleges and universities, and offer a range of training and development programs, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hartford's Leadership Development Program, which provides curriculum to enhance leadership skill sets for all participants – from first-time leaders through our executive ranks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hartford Early Career Leadership Program, which offers programs in Actuarial, Finance, Underwriting, Claims, Operations, Technology, Data and Analytics through rotational development to gain a breadth of experiences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hartford's Apprenticeship Program, which prepares students for careers in insurance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• HartCloud Academy which offers an immersive training program for our mid-career engineers to advance their proficiency in cloud technologies;

Part I - Item 1. Business

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hartford's College Internship Program, which provides paid work experience and professional development opportunities for rising college seniors and graduate students supporting the Company's early career talent pipeline; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hartford's Tech Catalyst Program, which supports the development of early career software and data engineers through a structured ten-week onboarding and training program

The Hartford prioritizes sustaining a workforce that upholds the highest standards of ethics and trust. We are committed to creating a work environment where employees are respected, inspired to perform at their best, and are recognized for their contributions. The Hartford believes that fostering a culture of integrity and ethical behavior leads to better decisions, outcomes and experiences for both our customers and employees. We believe that creating a work environment centered on trust enables us to attract, retain and leverage top talent to meet our business goals. We are committed to ethical conduct and a bias-free workplace for all employees as we build, enhance and sustain a welcoming and supportive culture.

In 2025, we achieved top quartile employee engagement and performance enablement scores, as measured by our enterprise engagement survey using independent third party benchmarks. These results were achieved in part due to continued focus on leader effectiveness, career growth, belonging and well-being.

We have nine Employee Resource Groups ("ERG's") that are voluntary participation groups led by employees, open to all and dedicated to enabling people to connect and collaborate for professional and business success. These groups focus on advancing the development of our employees and strengthening our business results through education, networking, mentorship and volunteer opportunities. As of December 31, 2025, over 60% of employees were members of at least one ERG.

We persistently work to improve the employee experience in support of our continuing strategic objective to attract, retain and develop the best talent in the industry.

Pay and Benefits

**Compensation and Pay Equity**

We offer competitive pay and benefits to our employees, with performance-based variable compensation making up a large share of the total compensation paid to executives in the organization. Variable compensation for the majority of employees includes an annual bonus plan. Executives also receive long-term incentive awards. Annual bonus payouts are informed by whether the Company achieves core earnings (as adjusted for compensation purposes) above or below a target level that is determined from the annual operating plan set at the beginning of each year and reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Long-term incentive awards include restricted stock units, performance shares and, for the most senior executives, stock options. Additional information about The Hartford's variable compensation programs is provided in the Company's Proxy Statement.

We use an independent third party to conduct statistical pay equity analyses for the vast majority of our U.S. employees each year – a three-step process that includes analysis before, during

and after the annual compensation planning cycle. This enables us to identify unexplained pay disparities, conduct additional research to determine reasons for these differences and take appropriate actions to address the disparities if necessary.

The Compensation Committee is updated annually on our pay equity processes and results.

The Hartford engages in a number of additional practices to ensure pay fairness, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Centralized compensation function that helps maintain consistent programs and practices across the enterprise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enterprise-wide framework for evaluating and aligning roles and compensation levels based on job responsibilities, market competitiveness, strategic importance of the role, and other relevant factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prohibition against asking external job applicants for current or historical compensation information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A practice to disclose to applicants and employees the salary ranges for most posted positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individual compensation decisions that consider each employee's experience, proficiency, and performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Training available for managers and Human Resources business partners on performance assessment and compensation planning; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Multiple levels of review and approval required for all compensation decisions.

We are committed to our extensive, long-standing policies and practices to help ensure fair pay across the organization, while staying attuned to external best practices and insights, and leveraging input from subject matter experts. We evaluate our performance every year, and as markets and talent pools shift over time we work to evolve our practices accordingly.

**Employee Benefits and Well-Being**

The Hartford offers a comprehensive benefits and well-being package that supports our employees' physical, emotional, social and financial well-being and helps them achieve their full potential. Our extensive benefits include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Medical plan options;

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In deciding whether to invest in The Hartford, you should carefully consider the following risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity and could also impact the trading price of our securities. These risks are not exclusive, and additional risks to which we are subject include, but are not limited to, the factors mentioned under "Forward-Looking Statements" above and the risks of our businesses described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following risk factors have been organized by category for ease of use, however many of the risks may have impacts in more than one category. The occurrence of certain of them may, in turn, cause the emergence or exacerbate the effect of others. Such a combination could materially increase the severity of the impact of these risks on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

**Risks Relating to Economic, Political and Global Market Conditions**

Unfavorable economic, political and global market conditions may adversely impact our business and results of operations.

The Company's investment portfolio, Hartford Funds business, and insurance businesses are sensitive to changes in economic, political and global capital market conditions, such as the effect of a weak economy, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labor supply shortages

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• low labor force participation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower family income

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• high unemployment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in interest rate levels

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in credit spreads

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• equity market disruptions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rising inflation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in foreign currency exchange rates

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a weak real estate market

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower business investment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower consumer spending

In an economic downturn, these factors may adversely affect the demand for insurance and financial products, insurance loss costs, valuation and returns on the investment portfolio, and lower the Company's profitability in some cases, including adverse impacts to our net investment income and operating results.

The Company could experience credit losses on various asset balances, including receivables and the principal amount of various invested assets, including fixed maturities and mortgage loans. In addition to credit losses on invested assets, the Company could experience declines in the value of available for sale debt securities if credit spreads were to widen significantly, which would reduce stockholders' equity. In addition, disruption in equity markets could result in net realized or unrealized losses on our equity securities carried at fair value or reduce net investment income in future periods from our non-fixed income investment portfolio, including from limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The Company could also experience higher reinsurance costs and/or more limited availability of reinsurance coverage.

Furthermore, political instability, politically motivated violence or civil unrest, may increase the frequency and severity of insured losses. In addition, a deterioration in global economic conditions and/or geopolitical conditions, including due to military action, trade wars, tariffs or other actions with respect to international trade agreements or policies, has the potential to, among other things, reduce demand for our products, reduce exposures we insure, drive higher inflation that could increase the Company's loss costs and result in increased incidence of claims, particularly for workers' compensation and disability claims. If current regional and/or global conflicts were to expand, there could be insurance losses or adverse economic impacts.

Below are several key factors impacted by changes in economic, political, and global market conditions and their potential effect on the Company's business and results of operations:

**• Credit Spread Risk -** Credit spread exposure is reflected in the market prices of fixed income instruments where lower rated securities generally trade at a higher credit spread. If issuer credit spreads increase or widen, the market value of our investment portfolio may decline. If the credit spread widening is significant and occurs over an extended period of time, the Company may recognize credit losses, resulting in decreased earnings. If credit spreads tighten significantly, the Company's net investment income associated with new purchases of fixed maturities may be reduced. In addition, the value of credit derivatives under which the Company assumes exposure or purchases protection are impacted by changes in credit spreads, with losses occurring when credit spreads widen for assumed exposure or when credit spreads tighten if credit protection has been purchased.

**• Equity Markets Risk -** A decline in equity markets may result in net realized losses on sales of equity securities, unrealized losses on equity securities held at fair value, reduce net investment income in future periods from our non-fixed income investment portfolio, including from limited partnerships and other alternative investments, or lower earnings from Hartford Funds where fee income is earned based upon the fair value of the assets under management.

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Enterprise Risk Management, Financial Risk - Equity Risk.

**• Interest Rate Risk -** Increases in interest rates or persistently high interest rates could lead to recession or economic stagnation, which could lower the demand for many of the Company's products and may result in realized or unrealized losses on existing fixed income assets in the investment portfolio. This could also impact property valuations and financing costs for mortgage loans and real estate joint ventures within limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Alternatively, a deterioration in global economic conditions could result in a lower interest rate environment, which would pressure our net investment income and could result in lower margins on certain products.

New and renewal business for our property and casualty and employee benefits products is priced considering prevailing interest rates. As interest rates decline, in order to achieve the same economic return, we would have to increase product prices to offset the lower anticipated investment income earned on invested premiums. Conversely, as interest rates rise, pricing targets will tend to decrease to reflect higher anticipated investment income. Our ability to effectively react to such changes in interest rates may affect our competitiveness in the marketplace, and in turn, could reduce written premium and earnings.

In addition, due to the long-term nature of the liabilities within our Employee Benefits operations, particularly with respect to long-term disability, and our workers' compensation operations, declines in interest rates over an extended period of time would result in our having to reinvest at lower yields. On the other hand, a rise in interest rates, in the absence of other countervailing changes, would reduce the market value of our investment portfolio. A decline in market value of invested assets due to an increase in interest rates could also limit our ability to realize tax benefits from recognized capital losses.

Our reserves for future policy benefits are sensitive to changing interest rate conditions. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") guidance requires that we update reserves for future policy benefits for changes in discount rates quarterly which could cause volatility in our stockholders' equity.

For additional information on interest rate sensitivity, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Enterprise Risk Management, Financial Risk - Interest Rate Risk.

• **Inflation Risk** - Inflation is a risk to our property and casualty business because, in many cases, claims are paid out many years after a policy is written and premium is collected for the risk. A greater than expected increase in inflation may impact medical services, repair costs or other claim settlement expenses, which can result in higher claim costs than what was estimated at the time the policy was written. Inflation can also affect consumer spending and business investment which can reduce the demand for our products and services. In addition, sustained inflation may result in an increase in interest rates, which would result in a reduction in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

• **Changes in the Labor Market** - Evolving labor market conditions, including increased competition for talent, could make it difficult to hire and retain employees and could increase compensation and benefits expense. New technologies may lead to changes in skill sets needed from the workforce, resulting in difficulty in attracting, developing and retaining employees. If insured businesses cannot hire enough qualified people to sell products and services to customers, economic activity may be depressed and lower insured exposure, hindering the Company's growth.

• **Foreign Currency Exchange Rates** - Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may impact our non-U.S. dollar denominated investments and foreign subsidiaries. We hold cash and fixed maturity securities denominated in foreign currencies, including British Pounds and Canadian dollars, among others, and also have other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies such as premiums receivable and loss reserves. While the Company predominately uses asset-liability matching, including the use of derivatives, to hedge certain of these exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, these actions do not eliminate the risk that changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar could result in financial loss to the Company, including realized or unrealized losses resulting from currency revaluation and increases to regulatory capital requirements for foreign subsidiaries that have net assets that are not denominated in their local currency. For additional information on foreign exchange risk, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Enterprise Risk Management, Financial Risk.

Concentration of our investment portfolio increases the potential for significant losses.

The concentration of our investment portfolios in any particular industry, collateral type, group of related industries or geographic region could have an adverse effect on our investment portfolios and consequently on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Events or developments that have a negative impact on any particular industry, collateral type, group of related industries or geographic region may have a greater adverse effect on our investment portfolio to the extent that the portfolio is concentrated rather than diversified.

Further, if issuers of securities or loans we hold are acquired, merge or otherwise consolidate with other issuers of securities or loans held by the Company, our investment portfolio's credit concentration risk to issuers could increase for a period of time, until the Company is able to sell securities to get back in compliance with the established investment credit policies.

Changing climate and weather patterns may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Climate change presents risks to us as an insurer, investor and employer. Climate models indicate that rising temperatures will likely result in rising sea levels over the decades to come and may increase the frequency and intensity of natural catastrophes and severe weather events. Extreme weather events such as abnormally high temperatures may result in increased losses associated with our property, automobile,

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7302392c6f074109996180c633b99f64_7)</u>**<br>

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

workers' compensation and employee benefits businesses. Changing climate patterns may also increase the duration, frequency and intensity of heat/cold waves, which may result in increased claims for property damage, business interruption and losses under workers' compensation, group disability and group life coverages. Precipitation patterns across the U.S. are projected to change, which if realized, may increase risks of flash floods, wildfires, and other severe weather events. If third parties assert that climate change-related risks and damages are caused by insured businesses, or arise from alleged mismanagement at insured businesses, we may experience increased claims under general liability and management liability policies. Additionally, there may be an impact on the demand, price and availability of automobile and homeowners insurance, and there is a risk of higher reinsurance costs or more limited availability of reinsurance coverage. Changes in climate conditions may also cause our underlying modeling data to not adequately reflect frequency and severity, limiting our ability to effectively evaluate and manage risks of catastrophes and severe weather events. Among other impacts, this could result in not charging enough premiums or not obtaining timely state approvals for rate increases to cover the risks we insure. We may also experience significant interruptions to the Company's systems and operations that hinder our ability to sell and service business, manage claims and operate our business.

Climate change-related risks, including risks associated with global energy transition, may also adversely impact the value of the investments that we hold, resulting in potential realized or unrealized losses on our invested assets. Our decision to invest in certain securities, loans, or other investments may also be impacted by changes in climate patterns due to:

• changes in supply/demand for traditional sources of energy (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas);

• advances in low-carbon technology and renewable energy development;

• effects of extreme weather events on the physical and operational exposure of industries and issuers; and

• internal investment guidelines and policies related to the global energy transition.

The effects of climate change could also lead to increased credit risk of other counterparties we transact business with, including reinsurers. Climate change effects may also lead to decreases in real estate values in various locations and for a variety of reasons, reducing premium and demand for commercial property and homeowners insurance and adversely impacting the value of our real estate-related investments. Additionally, government policies or regulations to slow climate change, such as emission controls or technology mandates, may have an adverse impact on sectors such as utilities, transportation and manufacturing, affecting demand for our products and our investments in these sectors. Moreover, regulators may undertake actions to minimize the effects of climate change on consumers, which could affect coverage provided under insurance contracts and administrative process.

These emerging regulatory initiatives, or other climate-related policies we adopt, may result in non-renewal of business or reduced appetite for underwriting or investing in certain industry sectors.

Because there is significant variability associated with the impacts of climate change, we cannot predict how physical, legal, regulatory and social responses may impact our business.

For additional discussion about climate change related risks, see the Risk Factor, "We are vulnerable to losses from catastrophes, both natural and man-made."

**Insurance Industry and Product Related Risks**

Unfavorable loss development may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We establish property and casualty and employee benefits loss reserves to cover our estimated liability for the payment of all unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred with respect to premiums earned on our policies. Loss reserves are estimates of what we expect the ultimate settlement and administration of claims will cost, less what has been paid to date. These estimates are based upon actuarial projections and on our assessment of currently available data, as well as estimates of claims severity and frequency, legal theories of liability, available benefit offsets, and other factors. For risks due to evolving changes in social, economic and environmental conditions, see the Risk Factor, "Unexpected and unintended claim and coverage issues under our insurance contracts may adversely impact our financial performance."

Loss reserve estimates are refined periodically as experience develops and claims are reported and settled, potentially resulting in increases to our reserves. Increases in reserves would be recognized as an expense during the periods in which these determinations are made, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations for those periods. In addition, since reserve estimates of aggregate loss costs for prior years are used in pricing our insurance products, inaccurate reserves can lead to our products not being priced adequately to cover actual losses and related loss expenses in order to generate a profit.

In property and casualty, we continue to receive A&E claims, the vast majority of which relate to policies written before 1986. Estimating the ultimate gross reserves needed for unpaid losses and related expenses for A&E claims is particularly difficult for insurers and reinsurers. The actuarial tools and other techniques used to estimate the ultimate cost of more traditional insurance exposures tend to be less precise when used to estimate reserves for some A&E exposures.

Moreover, the assumptions used to estimate gross reserves for A&E claims, such as claim frequency over time, average severity, and how various policy provisions will be interpreted, are subject to significant uncertainty. It is also not possible to predict changes in the legal and legislative environment and their effect on the future development of A&E claims. These factors, among others, make the variability of gross reserves estimates for these longer-tailed exposures significantly greater than for other more traditional exposures.

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are vulnerable to losses from catastrophes, both natural and man-made.

Our insurance operations expose us to claims arising out of catastrophes. Catastrophes can be caused by various unpredictable natural events, including, among others, earthquakes, hurricanes, hailstorms, severe winter weather, wind storms, fires, tornadoes, and pandemics. Catastrophes can also be man-made, such as terrorist attacks, civil unrest, cyber-attacks, explosions or infrastructure failures. Catastrophes may also include some major international events designated by Lloyd's of London.

The geographic distribution of our business subjects us to various catastrophe exposures across different regions of the United States. We are also exposed to catastrophe losses in other parts of the world through our global specialty business. Any increases in the values and concentrations of insureds and property in these areas would increase the severity of catastrophic events in the future. In addition, changes in climate and/or weather patterns may increase the frequency and/or intensity of severe weather and natural catastrophe events potentially leading to increased insured losses. Potential examples include, but are not limited to:

• an increase in the frequency or intensity of wind and thunderstorm and tornado/hailstorm events due to increased convection in the atmosphere,

• more frequent and larger wildfires in certain geographies,

• higher incidence of deluge flooding, and

• the potential for an increase in frequency and severity of hurricane events.

Insufficient incorporation of climatic trends into widely used catastrophe models and internal tools to assess risk from natural catastrophe perils could lead to ineffective evaluation and management of catastrophe risk. For a further discussion of climate-related risks, see the above-referenced Risk Factor, "Changing climate and weather patterns may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation."

Our businesses also have exposure to global or nationally occurring pandemics caused by highly infectious and potentially fatal diseases spread through human, animal or plant populations.

In the event of one or more catastrophes, policyholders may be unable to meet their obligations to pay premiums on our insurance policies. Further, our liquidity could be constrained by a catastrophe, or multiple catastrophes. In addition, in part because accounting rules do not permit insurers to reserve for such catastrophic events until they occur, claims from catastrophic events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The amount we charge for catastrophe exposure may be inadequate if the frequency or severity of catastrophe losses changes over time or if the models we use to estimate the exposure prove inadequate. In addition, regulators or legislators could limit our ability to charge adequate pricing for catastrophe exposures or shift more responsibility for covering risk.

Terrorism is an example of a significant man-made potential catastrophe. Private sector catastrophe reinsurance is limited and generally unavailable for terrorism losses caused by attacks

with nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological weapons. In addition, workers' compensation policies generally do not have exclusions or limitations for terrorism losses. Reinsurance coverage from the federal government under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (the "Program") Reauthorization Act of 2019 ("TRIPRA 2019") is also limited and only applies for certified acts of terrorism that exceed a certain threshold of industry losses. Accordingly, the effects of a terrorist attack in the geographic areas we serve may result in claims and related losses for which we do not have adequate reinsurance. TRIPRA 2019 also requires that the federal government create the following reports, which could lead to additional legislation or regulation: (1) Treasury Department to include in its biennial report on the effectiveness of the Program an evaluation of the availability and affordability of terrorism risk insurance for places of worship; and (2) Government Accountability Office report to analyze and address the vulnerabilities and potential costs of cyber terrorism, to assess adequacy of coverage under the Program, and to make recommendations for future legislative changes to address evolving cyber terrorism risks. Further, the continued threat of terrorism and the occurrence of terrorist attacks, as well as heightened security measures and military action in response to these threats and attacks or other geopolitical or military crises, may cause significant volatility in global financial markets, disruptions to commerce and reduced economic activity. These consequences could have an adverse effect on the value of the assets in our investment portfolio and/or cause a reduction in demand for our products. Terrorist attacks also could disrupt our operation centers. In addition, TRIPRA 2019 expires on December 31, 2027 and if the U.S. Congress does not reauthorize the program or significantly reduces the government's share of covered terrorism losses, the Company's exposure to terrorism losses could increase materially unless it can purchase alternative terrorism reinsurance protection in the private markets at affordable prices or takes actions to materially reduce its exposure in lines of business subject to terrorism risk. For a further discussion of TRIPRA, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Enterprise Risk Management - Insurance Risk Management, Reinsurance as a Risk Management Strategy.

Cyber risk exposure exists through stand-alone cyber policies as well as cyber coverage endorsements on some property, general liability, management liability and directors and officers policies. Increasing frequency of cyber attacks and the evolving nature of cyber risk taking place across the globe may potentially lead to increased insured losses across the industry and for the businesses we insure. Our insureds may be increasingly exposed to cyber-related attacks with insured losses to property (including data and systems), breach of data, ransom payments and business interruption. Geopolitical crises or hostile actions taken by nation states or terrorist organizations may heighten the risk of cyber-attacks on companies we insure and on our own operations.

As a result, it is possible that any, or a combination of all, of these factors related to a catastrophe, or multiple catastrophes, whether natural or man-made, can have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

Pricing for our products is subject to our ability to adequately assess risks, estimate losses and comply with state and international insurance regulations.

We seek to price our property and casualty and employee benefits insurance policies such that insurance premiums and future net investment income earned on premiums received will provide for an acceptable profit in excess of underwriting expenses and the cost of paying claims. Pricing adequacy depends on a number of factors, including proper evaluation of underwriting risks, the ability to project future claim costs, our expense levels, net investment income realized, our response to rate actions taken by competitors, legal and regulatory developments, including in international markets, and the ability to obtain regulatory approval for rate changes.

State insurance departments regulate many of the premium rates we charge and also propose rate changes for the benefit of the insurance consumer at the expense of the insurer, which may not allow us to reach targeted levels of profitability. Moreover, regulators may seek to prohibit or constrain the use of certain underwriting and rating factors, which may affect our ability to price risks. In addition to regulating rates, certain states have enacted laws that require a property and casualty insurer to participate in assigned risk plans, reinsurance facilities, joint underwriting associations and other residual market plans. State regulators also require that an insurer offer property and casualty coverage to all consumers and often restrict an insurer's ability to charge the price it might otherwise charge or restrict an insurer's ability to offer or enforce specific policy deductibles. In these markets, we may be compelled to underwrite significant amounts of business at lower than desired rates or accept additional risk not contemplated in our existing rates, participate in the operating losses of residual market plans or pay assessments to fund operating deficits of state-sponsored funds, which could lead to lower than anticipated profitability. The laws and regulations of many states also limit an insurer's ability to withdraw from one or more lines of insurance in the state, except pursuant to a plan that is approved by the state's insurance department. Additionally, certain states require insurers to participate in guaranty funds for impaired or insolvent insurance companies. These funds periodically assess losses against all insurance companies doing business in the state. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. For more on international regulatory risks, see the Risk Factor, "Regulatory and legislative developments could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity."

Additionally, the property and casualty and employee benefits insurance markets have been historically cyclical, experiencing periods characterized by relatively high levels of price competition, less restrictive underwriting standards, more expansive coverage offerings, multi-year rate guarantees and declining premium rates, followed by periods of relatively low levels of competition, more selective underwriting standards, more coverage restrictions and increasing premium rates. In all of our property and casualty and employee benefits insurance product lines, there is a risk that the premium we charge may ultimately prove to be inadequate as reported losses emerge. In addition, there is a risk that regulatory constraints, price competition or incorrect pricing assumptions could prevent us

from achieving targeted returns. Inadequate pricing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Competitive activity, use of emerging technologies, or other technological changes may adversely affect our market share, demand for our products, or our financial results.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Our principal competitors are other property and casualty insurers, employee benefits providers and providers of mutual funds and exchange traded funds. Competitors may expand their risk appetites in products and services where The Hartford currently enjoys a competitive advantage. Larger competitors with more capital and new entrants to the market could result in increased pricing pressures on a number of our products and services and may harm our ability to maintain or increase our profitability. For example, larger competitors, including those formed through consolidation or who may acquire new entrants to the market, such as insurtech firms, may have lower operating costs and an ability to absorb greater risk while maintaining their financial strength ratings, thereby allowing them to price their products more competitively.

In addition, technological advancements and innovation are occurring in distribution, underwriting, claims and operations at a rapid pace that may continue to accelerate. Insurers are using or may begin using certain emerging technologies, such as machine learning, predictive analytics, "big data" analysis or other artificial intelligence functions to, among other things, improve pricing accuracy, be more targeted in marketing, strengthen customer relationships and provide more customized loss prevention services. Nontraditional competitors could enter the insurance market and further accelerate these trends. If competitors are able to use these emerging technologies more effectively and/or efficiently, it may provide them a competitive advantage. Because of the highly competitive nature of the industries The Hartford competes in, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to compete effectively with our industry rivals, or that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Our business could be affected by other technological changes, including further advancements in automotive safety features, the development of autonomous or "self-driving" vehicles, and platforms that facilitate ride sharing. These technologies could impact the frequency or severity of losses, disrupt the demand for certain of our products, or reduce the size of the automobile insurance market as a whole. The risks we insure are also affected by the increased use of technology in homes and businesses, including technology used in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and security systems and the introduction of more automated loss control measures. Increased use of advanced analytics (e.g., artificial intelligence) and automation in the workplace could potentially affect the demand for workers' compensation and employee benefits products over time. In addition, our business may be disrupted due to failures of accelerated technological changes, including our automation of minimally complex tasks, which may adversely impact our business and results of operations. While there is substantial uncertainty about the timing, penetration and reliability of such technologies, and the legal frameworks that may apply, such as

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7302392c6f074109996180c633b99f64_7)</u>**<br>

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

to autonomous vehicles, any such impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may experience difficulty in marketing and providing insurance products and investment advisory services through distribution channels and advisory firms.

We distribute our insurance products, mutual funds and ETFs through a variety of distribution channels and financial intermediaries, including brokers, independent agents, wholesale agents, reinsurance brokers, broker-dealers, banks, registered investment advisors, affinity partners, our own internal sales force and other third-party organizations. In some areas of our business, we generate a significant portion of our business through third-party arrangements. For example, we market Personal Insurance products in large part through an exclusive licensing arrangement with AARP that continues through December 31, 2032. Our ability to distribute products through the AARP program may be adversely impacted by membership levels and the pace of membership growth. In addition, the independent agent and broker distribution channel is consolidating, which could result in a larger proportion of written premium being concentrated among fewer agents and brokers, potentially increasing our cost of acquiring new business. While we periodically seek to renew or extend third party arrangements, there can be no assurance that our relationship with these third parties will continue or that the economics of these relationships won't change to make them less financially attractive to the Company. An interruption in our relationship with certain of these third parties could materially affect our ability to market our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Unexpected and unintended claim and coverage issues under our insurance contracts may adversely impact our financial performance.

Changes in industry practices and in legal, judicial, social and other environmental conditions, technological advances or fraudulent activities, may require us to pay claims we did not intend to cover when we wrote the policies. Social, economic, political and environmental issues, including rising income inequality, reduction and further delays in government social programs such as Social Security Disability, attorney representation rates, legal system abuse, climate change, prescription drug use and addiction, exposures to new substances or those substances previously considered to be safe and found to have latent exposure, along with the use of social media to proliferate messaging around such issues, have expanded the theories for reporting claims, which may increase our claims administration and/or litigation costs. State and local governments' increased efforts aimed to respond to the costs and concerns associated with these types of issues may also lead to expansive, new theories for reporting claims or may lead to the passage of "reviver" statutes that extend the statute of limitations for the reporting of these claims, including statutes passed in certain states with respect to sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims. In addition, these and other social, economic, political and environmental issues may extend coverage beyond our underwriting intent, potentially increase jury awards, and/or increase the frequency or severity of claims.

Some of these changes, advances or activities may not become apparent until some time after we have issued insurance contracts that are affected by the changes, advances or activities and/or we may be unable to compensate for such losses through future pricing and underwriting. As a result, the full extent of liability under our insurance contracts may not be known for many years after a contract is issued, and this liability may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity at the time it becomes known.

**Financial Strength, Credit and Counterparty Risks**

Downgrades in our financial strength or credit ratings may make our products less attractive, increase our cost of capital and inhibit our ability to refinance our debt.

Financial strength and credit ratings are important in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Rating agencies assign ratings based upon several factors. While most of the factors relate to the rated company, others relate to the views of the rating agency (including its assessment of the strategic importance of the rated company to the insurance group), general economic conditions, and circumstances outside the rated company's control. In addition, rating agencies may employ different models and formulas to assess the financial strength of a rated company, and from time to time rating agencies have altered these models. Changes to the models or factors used by the rating agencies to assign ratings could adversely impact a rating agency's judgment of its internal rating and the publicly issued rating it assigns us.

Our financial strength ratings, which are intended to measure our ability to meet policyholder obligations, are an important factor affecting public confidence in most of our products and, as a result, our competitiveness. A downgrade or a potential downgrade in the rating of our financial strength or of one of our principal insurance subsidiaries could affect our competitive position and reduce future sales of our products.

Our credit ratings also affect our cost of capital. A downgrade or a potential downgrade of our credit ratings could make it more difficult or costly to refinance maturing debt obligations, to support business growth at our insurance subsidiaries and to maintain or improve the financial strength ratings of our principal insurance subsidiaries. These events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. For a further discussion of potential impacts of ratings downgrades on derivative instruments, including potential collateral calls, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Capital Resources and Liquidity - Derivative Commitments.

The amount of capital that we must hold to maintain our financial strength and credit ratings and meet other requirements can vary significantly from time to time and is sensitive to a number of factors outside of our control.

We conduct the vast majority of our business through licensed insurance company subsidiaries. In the United States, statutory accounting standards and statutory capital and reserve

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7302392c6f074109996180c633b99f64_7)</u>**<br>

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

requirements for these entities are prescribed by the applicable insurance regulators and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). The minimum capital we must hold is based on risk-based capital ("RBC") formulas for both property and casualty and life companies. The RBC formula for property and casualty companies establishes capital requirements relating to underwriting, asset, credit, catastrophe, operational and off-balance sheet risks. The RBC formula for life companies is applicable to our employee benefits business and establishes capital requirements relating to insurance, business, asset, credit, interest rate and off-balance sheet risks.

Countries in which our international insurance subsidiaries are incorporated or deemed commercially domiciled are subject to minimum capital requirements as defined by the applicable regulatory regime, including a phased program of changes to the prudential and solvency regime in the U.K. following the U.K.'s departure from the European Union. In addition, our Lloyd's member company must maintain required Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") to meet the capital requirements of its syndicate. The FAL is determined based on the syndicate's Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR") under the Solvency II capital adequacy model plus an economic capital assessment determined by the Lloyd's Franchise Board (which is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Lloyd's market).

In any particular year, statutory surplus amounts, RBC ratios, FAL and SCR may increase or decrease depending on a variety of factors, some of which are outside the Company's control, including:

• the amount of statutory income or losses generated by our insurance subsidiaries;

• the amount of additional capital our insurance subsidiaries must hold to support business growth;

• the amount of dividends or distributions paid to the holding company;

• the value of certain fixed maturities, equity securities, and limited partnership and other alternative investments in our investment portfolio;

• changes in interest rates;

• admissibility of deferred tax assets;

• changes to the regulatory capital formulas; and

• regulatory changes to accounting guidance for determining capital adequacy.

Among other factors, rating agencies consider the level of statutory capital and surplus of our U.S. insurance subsidiaries as well as the level of U. S. GAAP capital held by the Company in determining the Company's financial strength and credit ratings. Rating agencies may implement changes to their capital formulas that have the effect of increasing the amount of capital we must hold in order to maintain our current ratings. If our capital resources are insufficient to maintain a particular rating by one or more rating agencies, we may need to raise capital through public or private equity or debt financing. If we were not to raise additional capital, either at our discretion or because we were unable to do so, our financial strength and credit ratings might be downgraded by one or more rating agencies.

Losses due to nonperformance or defaults by counterparties can have a material adverse effect on the value of our investments and reduce our profitability or sources of liquidity.

We have credit risk with counterparties associated with investments, derivatives, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables and indemnifications provided by third parties in connection with previous dispositions. Among others, our counterparties include issuers of fixed maturity and equity securities we hold, borrowers of mortgage loans we hold, customers, trading counterparties, counterparties under swaps and other derivative contracts, reinsurers, clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses and other financial intermediaries and guarantors. These counterparties may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, insolvency, lack of liquidity, adverse economic conditions, operational failure, fraud, government intervention and other reasons. In addition, for exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures, options and "cleared" over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives, the Company is generally exposed to the credit risk of the relevant central counterparty clearing house. Defaults by these counterparties on their obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on the value of our investments, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Additionally, if the underlying assets supporting the structured securities we invest in default on their payment obligations, our securities may incur losses.

The availability of reinsurance and our ability to recover under reinsurance contracts may not be sufficient to protect us against losses.

As an insurer, we frequently use reinsurance to reduce the effect of losses that may arise from, among other things, catastrophes and other risks that can cause unfavorable results of operations. In addition, our assumed reinsurance business purchases retrocessional coverage for a portion of the risks it assumes. Under these reinsurance arrangements, other insurers assume a portion of our losses and related expenses; however, we remain liable as the direct insurer on all risks reinsured. Consequently, ceded reinsurance arrangements do not eliminate our obligation to pay claims, and we are subject to our reinsurers' credit risk with respect to our ability to recover amounts due from them. The inability or unwillingness of any reinsurer or retrocessionaire to meet its financial obligations to us, including the impact of any insolvency or rehabilitation proceedings involving a reinsurer or retrocessionaire that could affect the Company's access to collateral held in trust, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In addition, should the availability and cost of reinsurance change materially, we may have to pay higher reinsurance costs, accept an increase in our net liability exposure, reduce the amount of business we write, or access to the extent possible other alternatives to reinsurance, such as use of the capital markets. Further, due to the inherent uncertainties as to collection and the length of time before reinsurance recoverables will be due, it is possible that future adjustments to the Company's reinsurance recoverables, net of the allowance, could be required, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or liquidity in a particular quarterly or annual period.

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to limitations.

The payment of future dividends on our capital stock is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, which considers, among other factors, our operating results, overall financial condition, credit-risk considerations and capital requirements, as well as general business and market conditions. Our Board of Directors may only declare such dividends out of funds legally available for such payments. Moreover, our common stockholders are subject to the prior dividend rights of any holders of depositary shares representing preferred stock then outstanding. The terms of our outstanding junior subordinated debt securities prohibit us from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on our capital stock or purchasing, acquiring, or making a liquidation payment on such stock, if we have given notice of our election to defer interest payments and the related deferral period has not yet commenced or a deferral period is continuing.

Moreover, as a holding company that is separate and distinct from its insurance subsidiaries, HIG has no significant business operations of its own. Therefore, HIG relies on dividends from our insurance company subsidiaries and other subsidiaries as the principal source of cash flow to meet its obligations. Subsidiary dividends fund payments on its debt securities and the payment of dividends to stockholders on its capital stock. Connecticut state laws and certain other U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate limit the payment of dividends and require notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment of dividends above certain levels. The laws and regulations of the countries in which its international insurance subsidiaries are incorporated or deemed commercially domiciled, as well as requirements of the Council of Lloyd's, also impose limitations on the payment of dividends which, in some instances, are more restrictive. Dividends paid from its insurance subsidiaries are further dependent on their cash requirements. In addition, in the event of liquidation or reorganization of a subsidiary, prior claims of a subsidiary's creditors may take precedence over the holding company's right to a dividend or distribution from the subsidiary except to the extent that the holding company may be a creditor of that subsidiary. For further discussion on dividends from insurance subsidiaries, see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Capital Resources and Liquidity.

**Risks Relating to Estimates, Assumptions and Valuations**

Actual results could materially differ from the analytical models we use to assist our decision making in key areas such as underwriting, pricing, capital management, reserving, investments, reinsurance and catastrophe risks.

We use models to support, among other things, underwriting, pricing, capital allocation, reserving, investments, reinsurance, and catastrophe risk management. Both proprietary and third party models used incorporate numerous assumptions and forecasts about the future level and variability of interest rates, inflation, credit spreads, equity markets, currency exchange

rates, loss frequency and severity, and capital requirements, among others. The models are subject to the inherent limitations of any statistical analysis as the historical internal and industry data and assumptions used in the models may not be indicative of what will happen in the future. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from our modeled results. The profitability and financial condition of the Company substantially depends on the extent to which our actual experience is consistent with assumptions we use in our models and ultimate model outputs. If, based upon these models or other factors, we misprice our products or our estimates of the risks we are exposed to prove to be materially inaccurate, our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity may be adversely affected.

The valuation of our securities and investments and the determination of allowances and credit losses are highly subjective and based on methodologies, estimations and assumptions that are subject to differing interpretations and market conditions.

Estimated fair values of the Company's investments are based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty. During periods of market disruption, it may be difficult to value certain of our securities if trading becomes less frequent and/or market data becomes less observable. There may be certain asset classes that were in active markets with significant observable data that become illiquid due to the financial environment. In addition, there may be certain securities whose fair value is based on one or more unobservable inputs, even during normal market conditions. As a result, the determination of the fair values of these securities may include inputs and assumptions that require more estimation and management judgment and the use of complex valuation methodologies. These fair values may differ materially from the value at which the investments may be ultimately sold. Further, rapidly changing or unprecedented credit and equity market conditions could materially impact the valuation of securities and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Decreases in value could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Similarly, management's decision on whether to record an allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is subject to significant judgments and assumptions regarding changes in general economic conditions, the issuer's financial condition or future recovery prospects, estimated future cash flows, the expected recovery period and the accuracy of third party information used in internal assessments. As a result, management's evaluations and assessments are highly judgmental and its projections of future cash flows over the life of certain investments may ultimately prove incorrect as facts and circumstances change.

If our businesses do not perform well, we may be required to recognize an impairment of our goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts we paid to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition. We test goodwill at least annually for impairment. Impairment testing is performed based upon estimates of the fair value of the "reporting unit" to

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7302392c6f074109996180c633b99f64_7)</u>**<br>

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

which the goodwill relates. The reporting unit is the operating segment or a business one level below an operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. The fair value of the reporting unit could decrease if new business, customer retention, profitability or other drivers of performance differ from expectations. If it is determined that the goodwill has been impaired, the Company must write down the goodwill by the amount of the impairment, with a corresponding charge to net income (loss). These write downs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

**Strategic and Operational Risks**

Our businesses may suffer and we may incur substantial costs if we are unable to access our systems and safeguard the security of our data in the event of a disaster, cyber breach, other information security incident or technology failure.

We use technology to process, store, retrieve, evaluate and analyze customer and company data and information. Our information technology ("IT") and telecommunications systems, in turn, interface with and rely upon third-party systems. We, and our customers, service provides, and other third parties, as applicable, must be able to access these systems to provide insurance quotes, process premium payments, make changes to existing policies, file and pay claims, administer mutual funds, provide customer support, manage our investment portfolios, report on financial results and perform other necessary business functions.

Systems failures or outages could compromise our ability to perform these business functions in a timely manner, which could harm our ability to conduct business and hurt our relationships with our business partners and customers. Our business may be disrupted by failures to effectively maintain or update existing technologies, implement new technology, automate business processes or use emerging technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence). In the event of a disaster such as a natural catastrophe, a pandemic, civil unrest, an industrial accident, a cyber-attack, a blackout, a terrorist attack (including conventional, nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological) or war, systems upon which we rely may be inaccessible to our employees, customers or business partners for an extended period of time. Even if our employees and business partners are able to report to work, they may be unable to perform their duties for an extended period of time if our data or systems used to conduct our business are disabled or destroyed.

Our systems have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to viruses or other malicious code, unauthorized access, cyber-attacks (such as ransomware and denial of service), cyber frauds or other computer related penetrations. The frequency and sophistication of such threats continue to increase as well. While, to date, The Hartford is not aware of having experienced a material breach of our cyber security systems, administrative, accounting and technical controls as well as other preventive actions may be insufficient to prevent physical and electronic break-ins, denial of service, cyber-attacks, business email

compromises, ransomware or other security breaches to our systems or those of third parties with whom we do business. Such an event could compromise our confidential information as well as that of our clients and third parties, impede or interrupt our business operations and result in other negative consequences, including remediation costs, loss of revenue, additional regulatory scrutiny and litigation and reputational damage. In addition, we routinely transmit to third parties personal, confidential and proprietary information, which may be related to employees and customers, by email and other electronic means, along with receiving and storing such information on our systems. Although we attempt to protect proprietary and confidential information, we may be unable to secure the information in all events, especially with clients, vendors, service providers, counterparties and other third parties who may not have appropriate controls to protect confidential information. Use of artificial intelligence by us or by such third parties could also result in inadvertent disclosure of our confidential information.

Our businesses must comply with regulations to control the privacy of customer, employee and third party data, and state, federal and international regulations regarding data privacy are becoming increasingly more onerous. A misuse or mishandling of confidential or proprietary information, including through artificial intelligence technology, could result in legal liability, regulatory action and reputational harm.

Third parties, including third party administrators and cloud-based systems, are also subject to cyber-attacks and breaches of confidential information, along with the other risks outlined above, any one of which may result in our incurring substantial costs and other negative consequences, including a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. These risks could increase and become more complex as third parties incorporate new technologies, including artificial intelligence. Our increased use of open source software, cloud technology and software as a service can make it more difficult to identify and remedy such situations due to the disparate location of code utilized in our operations. While we maintain cyber liability insurance that provides both third party liability and first party insurance coverages, our insurance may not be sufficient to protect against all loss.

Performance problems due to outsourcing and other third-party relationships may compromise our ability to conduct business.

We outsource certain business and administrative functions and rely on third-party vendors to perform certain functions or provide certain services on our behalf and have a significant number of information technology and business processes outsourced with a single vendor. If we are unable to reach agreement in the negotiation of contracts or renewals with certain third-party providers, or if such third-party providers experience disruptions in their processes or with relied upon vendors, or if they do not perform as anticipated, we may be unable to meet our obligations to customers and claimants, incur higher costs and lose business which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. For other risks associated with our outsourcing of certain functions, see the Risk Factor, "Our businesses may suffer and we may incur substantial costs if we are unable to access our systems

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

and safeguard the security of our data in the event of a disaster, cyber breach, other information security incident or technology failure."

Our ability to execute on capital management plans and other actions is subject to material challenges, uncertainties and risks.

The ability to execute on capital management plans is subject to material challenges, uncertainties and risks. From time to time, our capital management plans may include the repurchase of common stock, the paydown of outstanding debt or both. We may not achieve all of the benefits we expect to derive from these plans. An equity repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors can be subject to execution risks, including, among others, risks related to market fluctuations, investor interest and potential legal constraints that could delay execution at an otherwise optimal time. There can be no assurance that we will fully execute any such plan. We may take future actions, including acquisitions, divestitures or restructurings that may involve additional uncertainties and risks that negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity and could impact our ability to execute our capital management plans.

Acquisitions and divestitures may not produce the anticipated benefits and may result in unintended consequences, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses or achieve the expected synergies as a result of such acquisitions or divestitures. The process of integrating an acquired company or business can be complex and costly and may create unforeseen operating difficulties including ineffective integration of underwriting, risk management, claims handling, finance, information technology and actuarial practices. Difficulties integrating an acquired business may also result in the acquired business performing differently than we expected including through the loss of customers or in our failure to realize anticipated increased premium growth or expense-related efficiencies. We could be adversely affected by the acquisition due to unanticipated performance issues and additional expense, unforeseen liabilities, transaction-related charges, downgrades by third-party rating agencies, diversion of management time and resources to integration challenges, loss of key employees, regulatory requirements, exposure to tax liabilities, amortization of expenses related to intangibles and charges for impairment of long-term assets or goodwill. In addition, we may be adversely impacted by uncertainties related to reserve estimates of the acquired company and its design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting. We may be unable to distribute as much capital to the holding company as planned due to regulatory restrictions or other reasons, or we may be required to contribute capital to a subsidiary, either of which could adversely affect our liquidity.

In addition, in the case of business or asset dispositions, we may have continued financial exposure to the divested businesses through reinsurance, indemnification or other financial arrangements following the transaction. The expected benefits of acquired or divested businesses may not be realized

and involve additional uncertainties and risks that may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Difficulty in attracting and retaining talented and qualified personnel may adversely affect the execution of our business strategies.

Our ability to attract, develop and retain talented employees, managers and executives is critical to our success. There is significant competition within and outside the insurance and financial services industry for qualified employees, particularly for individuals with highly specialized knowledge in areas such as underwriting, actuarial, data and analytics, technology and digital commerce and investment management. Our continued ability to compete effectively in our businesses and to expand into new business areas depends on our ability to attract new employees and to develop, retain and motivate our existing employees. The loss of key employees, including executives, managers and employees with strong technological, analytical and other specialized skills, may adversely impact the execution of our business objectives or result in loss of important institutional knowledge. Our inability to attract and retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and may be subject to infringement claims.

We rely on a combination of contractual rights and copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect our intellectual property. Although we use a broad range of measures to protect our intellectual property rights, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property. We may have to litigate to enforce and protect our intellectual property and to determine its scope, validity or enforceability, which could be costly, divert significant resources and may not prove successful. The inability to secure or enforce the protection of our intellectual property assets could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business and our ability to compete. We also may be subject to costly litigation in the event that another party alleges our operations or activities infringe upon their intellectual property rights, including patent rights, or violate license usage rights. Any such intellectual property claims and any resulting litigation could result in significant expense and liability for damages, and in some circumstances we could be enjoined from providing certain products or services to our customers, or utilizing and benefiting from certain patent, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or licenses, or alternatively could be required to enter into costly licensing arrangements with third parties, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

**Regulatory and Legal Risks**

Regulatory and legislative developments could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We are subject to extensive laws, regulations and executive orders that are complex, subject to change and often conflict in their approach or intended outcomes. Compliance with these laws, regulations and executive orders can increase cost, affect our strategy, and constrain our ability to adequately price our products.

In the U.S., regulatory initiatives and legislative developments may significantly affect our operations and prospects in ways that we cannot predict. For example, federal and state legislative efforts on Paid Family and Medical Leave, artificial intelligence, data privacy and cyber security, risk-based pricing, and sustainability practices could have unanticipated consequences for the Company and its businesses. It is unclear whether and to what extent Congress, the current Administration or individual states will continue to pursue these types of proposals, and how those changes might impact the Company, its business, financial conditions, results of operations or liquidity.

Our U.S. insurance subsidiaries are regulated by the insurance departments of the states in which they are domiciled, licensed or authorized to conduct business. State regulations generally seek to protect the interests of policyholders rather than an insurer or the insurer's stockholders and other investors. U.S. state laws grant insurance regulatory authorities broad administrative powers with respect to, among other things, licensing and authorizing lines of business, approving policy forms and premium rates, setting statutory capital and reserve requirements, limiting the types and amounts of certain investments and restricting underwriting practices. State insurance departments also set constraints on domestic insurer transactions with affiliates and dividends and, in many cases, must approve affiliate transactions and extraordinary dividends as well as strategic transactions such as acquisitions and divestitures.

Our international insurance subsidiaries are subject to the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdictions in which they operate, including the requirements of the PRA and the FCA in the U.K, the Bermuda Monetary Authority in Bermuda and the Insurance Authority in Hong Kong. Our Lloyd's Syndicate is also subject to management and supervision by the Council of Lloyd's, which has wide discretionary powers to regulate members' underwriting at Lloyd's, as well as regulations imposed by overseas regulators where the Lloyd's Syndicate conducts business.

In addition, future regulatory initiatives could be adopted at the federal, state and international level that could affect the profitability of our businesses. For example, the NAIC and state insurance regulators periodically reexamine existing laws and regulations, specifically focusing on modifications to U.S. statutory accounting principles, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws and regulations. The NAIC continues to enhance the U.S. system of insurance solvency regulation, with a particular focus on group supervision, risk-

based capital, accounting and financial reporting, enterprise risk management and reinsurance which could, among other things, affect statutory measures of capital adequacy, including risk-based capital ratios.

Lawmakers and regulators at the federal, state and international levels are enacting laws and promulgating regulations and guidance related to climate change, with conflicting policies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction possible, which may impose additional costs on the Company, or expose us to new or additional risks. The Company could be subject to these enactments both as a public company generally and specifically as an insurer.

As a public company, we continue to monitor the development of various climate disclosure regimes. Such developments have stalled at the federal level, with the SEC having withdrawn its defense of its 2024 comprehensive climate rules, but have continued to expand in certain state and international jurisdictions. We may be subject to these reporting regimes based on the particulars of our corporate footprint. Other regulators may impose additional reporting requirements affecting our operations, such as disclosure related to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) and other climate-related information, thereby increasing our operating expenses and litigation risk.

As an insurer, insurance affordability and availability trends are under scrutiny by federal and state lawmakers and state insurance regulators with new laws and regulations potentially impacting exposure mix, growth, and reinsurance strategies. For example, regulators could impose new disclosure requirements regarding underwriting or investment in certain industry sectors or take other actions such as implementing a temporary moratorium on cancellation of policies within catastrophe prone areas. The Federal Insurance Office continues to analyze the potential for climate change to affect insurance and reinsurance coverage, which could result in increased data collection and reporting.

There has also been increased regulatory scrutiny of the use of emerging technologies related to artificial intelligence, including machine learning, predictive analytics and other "big data" techniques, and the potential for unfair discrimination or unintended bias arising from such use. We may be subject to new regulations that could materially adversely affect our operations or ability to write business profitably in one or more jurisdictions. The NAIC adopted a Model Bulletin on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems by Insurers. About 25 states have adopted some form of the Model Bulletin. State insurance regulators may adopt their own guidelines for insurers independent of the NAIC guidance. We cannot predict what, if any, legislative or regulatory actions may be taken regarding these or other emerging technologies, but any inquiries and/or limitations could have a material impact on our business, business processes, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, changes in laws, regulations or executive orders, particularly relating to privacy and data security, may materially impede our ability to execute on business strategies and/or our ability to be competitive.

Any proposed or future legislation or NAIC initiatives, if adopted, may be more restrictive on our ability to conduct business than current regulatory requirements or may result in higher costs or

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7302392c6f074109996180c633b99f64_7)</u>**<br>

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

increased statutory capital and reserve requirements. Moreover, should the Company be classified as an Internationally Active Insurance Group, it would be subject to additional requirements including the requirement to report its group capital ratio to state regulators under the NAIC Aggregation Method. Further, a particular regulator or enforcement authority may interpret a legal, accounting, or reserving issue differently than we have, exposing us to different or additional regulatory risks. The application of these regulations and guidelines by insurers involves interpretations and judgments that may be challenged by state insurance departments and other regulators. The result of those potential challenges could require us to increase levels of regulatory capital and reserves or incur higher operating and/or tax costs.

In addition, our asset management businesses are also subject to extensive regulation in the various jurisdictions where they operate. These laws, regulations and executive orders are primarily intended to protect investors in the securities markets or investment advisory clients and generally grant supervisory authorities broad administrative powers. Compliance with these laws, regulations and executive orders is costly, time consuming and personnel intensive, and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Our insurance business is sensitive to significant changes in the legal environment that could adversely affect The Hartford's results of operations or financial condition or harm its businesses.

Like any major insurance company, litigation is a routine part of The Hartford's business - both in defending and indemnifying our insureds and in litigating insurance coverage and benefits disputes. The Hartford accounts for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Significant changes in the legal environment could cause our ultimate liabilities to change from our current expectations. Such changes could be judicial in nature, like trends in the size of jury awards, developments in the law relating to tort liability or the liability of insurers, and rulings concerning the scope of insurance coverage or the amount or types of damages covered by insurance. Such changes also can be legislative or regulatory, including changes in federal or state laws and regulations relating to the liability of insurers or policyholders, such as state laws expanding "bad faith" liability and state "reviver" statutes, extending statutes of limitations for certain sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims. Such changes could also come in the form of executive orders. Changes in the legal environment could result in changes in business practices, additional litigation, or unexpected losses, including increased frequency and severity of claims. Also, the emergence of new targets and new and expanding theories of liability for claims involving issues like global climate change, risks from products and substances alleged to cause damage, physical and mental health crises, new technologies, evolving legal system trends such as legal system abuse, attorney representation rates, and increased third-party litigation funding, and other socioeconomic and political dynamics could result in additional litigation exposure and unexpected losses. It is impossible to forecast such changes reliably, much less to predict how they might affect our loss reserves or how those changes might adversely affect our ability to price our insurance products appropriately. Thus, significant judicial or legislative developments could

adversely affect The Hartford's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Changes in federal, state or foreign tax laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Changes in federal, state or foreign tax laws and tax rates, regulations, or related executive orders could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition by increasing the Company's overall tax and compliance burdens. The Company's federal and state tax returns reflect certain items such as tax-exempt bond interest, tax credits, and insurance reserve deductions. There is a risk that, in the context of tax reform in the U.S., federal and/or state tax legislation could modify or eliminate these items, impacting the Company, its investments, investment strategies, and/or its policyholders.

Regulatory requirements could delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their best interests.

Before a person can acquire control of a U.S. insurance company, prior written approval must be obtained from the insurance commissioner of the state where the domestic insurer is domiciled. Prior to granting approval of an application to acquire control of a domestic insurer, the state insurance commissioner will consider such factors as the financial strength of the applicant, the acquirer's plans for the future operations of the domestic insurer, and any such additional information as the insurance commissioner may deem necessary or appropriate for the protection of policyholders or in the public interest. Generally, state statutes provide that control over a domestic insurer is presumed to exist if any person, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, holds with the power to vote, or holds proxies representing 10 percent or more of the voting securities of the domestic insurer or its parent company. Because a person acquiring 10 percent or more of our common stock would indirectly control the same percentage of the stock of our U.S. insurance subsidiaries, the insurance change of control laws of various U.S. jurisdictions would likely apply to such a transaction. Other laws or required approvals pertaining to one or more of our existing subsidiaries, or a future subsidiary, may contain similar or additional restrictions on the acquisition of control of the Company. These laws and similar rules applying to subsidiaries domiciled outside of the United States may discourage potential acquisition proposals and may delay, deter, or prevent a change of control, including transactions that our Board of Directors and some or all of our stockholders might consider to be desirable.

Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors

Changes in accounting principles and financial reporting requirements could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

As an SEC registrant, we are currently required to prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Accordingly, we are required to adopt new guidance or interpretations which may have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition that is either unexpected or has a greater impact than expected. For a description of changes in accounting standards that are currently pending and, if known, our estimates of their expected impact, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1C.

Cybersecurity

The Hartford has implemented an information protection program with established governance routines for assessing and managing risks. The Hartford employs a 'defense-in-depth' strategy that uses multiple security measures to protect the integrity of the Company's information assets. This 'defense-in-depth' strategy aligns to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, where controls are implemented throughout our environments to achieve the six categorical objectives of governance, identification, protection, detection, response and recovery.

Our 'defense in depth' program uses several methods to protect against intrusion by a bad actor, including such techniques as reputational filtering, anti-virus scans, intrusion prevention, multi-factor authentication, and account isolation among others. We also use numerous approaches to detect ransomware and other cyber attacks, including, among others, dark web searches, email sandboxing, endpoint detection, and intrusion detection. The Hartford continues to monitor and enhance its framework to respond to evolving cyber threats and regulations for data privacy, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act and the New York Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulation.

We regularly assess our programs and control environment, leveraging externally conducted cyber tests and evaluations along with internally managed cyber risk assessments and testing. Additionally, the Company collaborates with industry associations, government authorities and external advisors to monitor the threat environment and to inform our security practices.

In connection with regular assessments of third-party service providers, vendor's information security practices and protocols are assessed by the information protection team, including its readiness to protect against and respond to cybersecurity breaches. Third-party service providers are categorized in tiers depending on the significance of their operations to the Company's business processes and risk assessments for vendors in the highest tier are completed periodically. With respect to cyber, we have procedures to verify service provider's information security controls, and a vendor cyber questionnaire is completed that also addresses their resiliency in the event of an intrusion to their systems. We proactively communicate with suppliers to understand mitigation steps taken when major cyber exposures are identified.

We are executing on a multi-year roadmap to, among other things, further improve our ability to defend against, respond to,

and recover from ransomware and other cyber events; enhance application cybersecurity capabilities, including defenses against fraud attacks; and to ensure security capabilities are built into new cloud-based platforms that we adopt. A number of states where our insurance companies are domiciled, including Connecticut, have adopted the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law. Our legal team monitors the status of new cybersecurity regulations, including notification requirements.

To the best knowledge of Management, no risks from cybersecurity threats have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For further discussion of the Company's risks related to cybersecurity, see Part I, Item 1A, — Risk Factors for the risk factor "Our businesses may suffer and we may incur substantial costs if we are unable to access our systems and safeguard the security of our data in the event of a disaster, cyber breach, other information security incident or technology failure."

From a governance perspective, senior members of our Enterprise Risk Management, Information Protection and Internal Audit functions provide detailed, regular reports on cybersecurity matters to the Board of Directors, primarily through the Audit Committee, which oversees controls for the Company's major risk exposures and has principal responsibility for oversight of cybersecurity risk, and the Finance, Investment and Risk Management Committee ("FIRMCo"), which oversees business risk related to cyber insurance products. The topics covered by these updates include the Company's activities, policies and procedures to prevent, detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, as well as lessons learned from cybersecurity incidents and internal and external testing of our cyber defenses.

The Audit Committee is provided with updates on technology and cybersecurity risks at least four times annually, including annual reviews of the Company's cybersecurity program and technology risks and controls, and bi-annual updates on operational risks (in spring and fall). Given its importance, the full Board of Directors is invited to attend the annual cybersecurity program update and time is reserved at each Audit Committee meeting for cybersecurity technology matters that warrant discussion between the standing sessions. In addition, Enterprise Risk Management provides FIRMCo an assessment of cyber insurance risk once per year. The Audit Committee, FIRMCo and the full Board of Directors are apprised of developments in the external environment and business strategies that present additional potential cyber risk exposure to the Company on an as-needed basis. As a result,

cybersecurity and cyber risk are typically discussed more frequently than the annual minimum requirements.

The Company has established an Executive Privacy & Security Council ("EPSC") that meets semi-annually. The EPSC consists of a cross-functional senior leaders, including the Chief Information Officer ("CIO"), the Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), the Chief Risk Officer ("CRO"), the Chief Privacy Officer ("CPO") and General Counsel, among others. The EPSC receives a monthly written executive briefing on topics, and with metrics related to cybersecurity, including incident prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation. Quarterly, the Information Technology Risk Council, made up of senior IT leaders, is also provided with an update of cybersecurity risks and preparedness. Various other meetings are held on cybersecurity topics periodically, including monthly business operating reviews, and meetings of the Enterprise Risk

and Capital Committee ("ERCC") and executive leadership team.

Both the CIO and the CISO have expertise assessing and managing cybersecurity risks. The CIO assumed his current role in March of 2025 and served in several similar technology leadership roles during his thirty-year career. The CISO has also held several senior-level information technology roles in his twenty-seven-year tenure with the Company and has served in his current role since 2021. In his various roles, he has been responsible for providing senior leadership in the areas of information security, IT governance risk & compliance, business continuity, and disaster recovery.

Throughout the MD&A, we use certain terms and abbreviations, the more commonly used are summarized in the <u>[Acronyms](#i7302392c6f074109996180c633b99f64_271)</u> section.

**Key Performance Measures and Ratios**

The Company considers the measures and ratios in the following discussion to be key performance indicators for its businesses. Management believes that these ratios and measures are useful in understanding the underlying trends in The Hartford's businesses. However, these key performance indicators should only be used in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the results presented in the reportable segment and corporate operating summaries that follow in this MD&A. These ratios and measures may not be comparable to other performance measures used by the Company's competitors.

Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Measures and Ratios

**Assets Under Management ("AUM")-** Include mutual fund and ETF assets. AUM is a measure used by the Company's Hartford Funds segment because a significant portion of the segment's revenues and expenses are based upon asset values. These revenues and expenses increase or decrease with a rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Book Value per Diluted Share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI")-** This is a non-GAAP per share measure that is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, after tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company provides this measure to enable investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes that excluding AOCI from the numerator is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per diluted share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

**Combined Ratio-** The sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio. This ratio is a relative measurement that describes the related cost of losses and expenses for every $100 of earned premiums. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting losses.

**Core Earnings-** The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings as an important measure of the Company's operating performance. The Hartford believes that core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Company's ongoing businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain items. Therefore, the following items are excluded from core earnings:

• Certain realized gains and losses - Generally realized gains and losses are primarily driven by investment decisions and external economic developments, the nature and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance and underwriting aspects of our business. Accordingly, core earnings excludes the effect of all realized gains and losses that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions. The Hartford believes, however, that some realized gains and losses are integrally related to our insurance operations, so core earnings includes net realized gains and losses such as net periodic settlements on credit derivatives. These net realized gains and losses are directly related to an offsetting item included in the income statement such as net investment income.

• Restructuring and other costs - Costs incurred as part of a restructuring plan are not a recurring operating expense of the business.

• Loss on extinguishment of debt - Largely consisting of make-whole payments or tender premiums upon paying debt off before maturity, these losses are not a recurring operating expense of the business.

• Gains and losses on reinsurance transactions - Gains or losses on reinsurance, such as those entered into upon sale of a business or to reinsure loss reserves, are not a recurring operating expense of the business.

• Integration and other non-recurring M&A costs - These costs, including transaction costs incurred in connection with an acquired business, are incurred over a short period of time and do not represent an ongoing operating expense of the business.

• Change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business - These changes in loss reserves are excluded from core earnings because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition.

• Deferred gain resulting from retroactive reinsurance and subsequent changes in the deferred gain - Retroactive reinsurance agreements economically transfer risk to the reinsurers and excluding the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance and related amortization of the deferred gain from core earnings provides greater insight into the economics of the business.

• Change in valuation allowance on deferred taxes related to non-core components of before tax income - These changes in valuation allowances are excluded from core earnings because they relate to non-core components of before tax income, such as tax attributes like capital loss carryforwards.

• Results of discontinued operations - These results are excluded from core earnings for businesses sold or held for sale because such results could obscure the ability to compare period over period results for our ongoing businesses.

In addition to the above components of net income available to common stockholders that are excluded from core earnings, preferred stock dividends declared, which are excluded from net income, are included in the determination of core earnings. Preferred stock dividends are a cost of financing more akin to interest expense on debt and are expected to be a recurring expense as long as the preferred stock is outstanding.

Net income (loss) and net income (loss) available to common stockholders are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) available to common stockholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business. Therefore, The Hartford believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders, and core earnings when reviewing the Company's performance.

*[1]The Company recorded amortization of the deferred gain related to the Navigators adverse development cover ("Navigators ADC") of $64 and $145 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The deferred gain has been fully amortized as of September 30, 2025. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company ceded, $62 of losses under the asbestos and environmental adverse development cover ("A&E ADC"), which was reflected as an increase to the deferred gain. For additional information regarding the adverse development cover ("ADC") reinsurance agreements, refer to Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.*

*[2]Primarily represents the federal income tax expense (benefit) related to before tax items not included in core earnings.*

**Core Earnings Margin-** The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings margin to evaluate, and believes it is an important measure of, the Employee Benefits segment's operating performance. Core earnings margin is calculated by dividing core earnings by revenues, excluding buyouts and realized gains (losses). Net income margin, calculated by dividing net income by revenues, is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that core earnings margin provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of Employee Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized gains (losses) as well as other items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Employee Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both core earnings margin and net income margin when reviewing performance. A reconciliation of net income margin to core earnings margin is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Employee Benefits.

**Current Accident Year Catastrophe Ratio-** A component of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, represents the ratio of catastrophe losses incurred in the current accident year ("CAY") (net of reinsurance) to earned premiums. For U.S. events, a catastrophe is an event that causes $25 or more in industry insured property losses and affects a significant number of property and casualty policyholders and insurers, as defined by the Property Claim Services office of Verisk. For international events, the Company's approach is similar, informed, in part, by how Lloyd's of London defines major losses. Lloyd's of London is an insurance market-place operating worldwide ("Lloyd's"). Lloyd's does not underwrite risks. The Company accepts risks as the sole member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate"). The current accident year catastrophe ratio includes the effect of catastrophe losses, but does not include the effect of reinstatement premiums.

**Expense Ratio-** For Business Insurance and Personal Insurance is the ratio of underwriting expenses less fee income, to earned premiums. Underwriting expenses include the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), amortization of other intangible assets and insurance operating costs and other expenses, including certain centralized services costs and bad debt expense. DAC includes commissions, taxes, licenses and fees and other incremental direct underwriting expenses and are amortized over the policy term.

The expense ratio for Employee Benefits is expressed as the ratio of insurance operating costs and other expenses including amortization of intangibles and amortization of DAC, to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums.

The expense ratio for Business Insurance, Personal Insurance and Employee Benefits does not include integration and other transaction costs associated with an acquired business.

**Fee Income-** Is largely driven from amounts earned as a result of contractually defined percentages of AUM in our Hartford Funds business. These fees are generally earned on a daily basis. Therefore, this fee income increases or decreases with the rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.

**Gross New Business Premium-** Represents the amount of premiums charged, before ceded reinsurance, for policies issued to customers who were not insured with the Company in the previous policy term. Gross new business premium plus gross renewal written premium less ceded reinsurance equals total written premium.

**Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio-** A measure of the cost of claims incurred in the calendar year divided by earned premium and includes losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred for both the current and prior accident years. Among other factors, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio needed for the Company to achieve

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

its targeted return on equity ("ROE") fluctuates from year to year based on changes in the expected investment yield over the claim settlement period, the timing of expected claim settlements and the targeted returns set by management based on the competitive environment.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is affected by claim frequency and claim severity, particularly for shorter-tail property lines of business, where the emergence of claim frequency and severity is credible and likely indicative of ultimate losses. Claim frequency represents the percentage change in the average number of reported claims per unit of exposure in the current accident year compared to that of the previous accident year. Claim severity represents the percentage change in the estimated average cost per claim in the current accident year compared to that of the previous accident year. As one of the factors used to determine pricing, the Company's practice is to first make an overall assumption about claim frequency and severity for a given line of business and then, as part of the rate-making process, adjust the assumption as appropriate for the particular state, product or coverage.

**Underlying Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio-** This non-GAAP financial measure is the cost of non-catastrophe loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred in the current accident year divided by earned premiums. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that the underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year development ("PYD"). A reconciliation of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio to the underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is set forth in the Reportable Segment and Corporate Operating Summaries section within MD&A.

**Loss Ratio, excluding Buyouts-** Utilized for the Employee Benefits segment and is expressed as a ratio of benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses, excluding those related to buyout premiums, to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. Since Employee Benefits occasionally buys a block of claims for a stated premium amount, the Company excludes this buyout from the loss ratio used for evaluating the profitability of the business as buyouts may distort the loss ratio. Buyout premiums represent takeover of open claim liabilities and other non-recurring premium amounts.

**Net investment income excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments-** This non-GAAP measure is the amount of net investment income on a consolidated level earned from invested assets, excluding the net investment income related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The Company believes that net investment income excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, provides investors with an important measure of the trend in investment earnings because it excludes the impact of the volatility in returns related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Net investment income is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. A reconciliation of net investment income to net investment income excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments - is set forth in the Investment Results section within MD&A.

**Mutual Fund and Exchange-Traded Fund Assets-** Are owned by the shareowners of those products and not by the Company and, therefore, are not reflected in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, except in instances where the Company seeds new investment products.

Mutual fund and ETF assets are a measure used by the Company primarily because a significant portion of the Company's Hartford Funds segment revenues and expenses are based upon asset values. These revenues and expenses increase or decrease with a rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.

**Net New Business Premium-** Represents the amount of premiums charged, after ceded reinsurance, for policies issued to customers who were not insured with the Company in the previous policy term. Net new business premium plus renewal written premium equals total written premium.

**Policy Count Retention-** For small business, represents the number of renewal policies issued during the current year period divided by the new and renewal policies issued in the prior period. Policy count retention is affected by a number of factors, including the percentage of renewal policy quotes accepted and decisions by the Company to non-renew policies because of specific policy underwriting concerns or because of a decision to reduce premium writings in certain classes of business or states. Policy count retention is also affected by advertising and rate actions taken by us and competitors.

**Effective Policy Count Retention-** For Personal Insurance, represents the number of policies expected to renew in the current year period, based on contract effective dates, divided by the new and renewal policies effective in the prior period. Effective policy count retention is affected by a number of factors, including the percentage of renewal policy quotes accepted and decisions by the Company to non-renew policies because of specific policy underwriting concerns or because of a decision to reduce premium writings in certain classes of business or states. Effective policy count retention is also affected by advertising and rate actions taken by us and competitors, as well as the effect of subsequent cancellations and non-renewals by customers. Effective policy count retention statistics are subject to change from period to period based on the effect of differences between actual and expected policy cancellations throughout the policy period.

**Policies in-force-** Represents the number of policies with coverage in effect as of the end of the period. The number of policies in-force is a growth measure used for Personal Insurance, small business, and middle market lines within middle & large business and is affected by both new business growth and retention.

**Policyholder Dividend Ratio-** The ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premium.

**Premium Retention-** For middle & large business, represents the ratio of prior period premiums that were successfully renewed divided by premiums associated with policies available for renewal in the current period. Premium retention excludes premium amounts from annual audits, renewal written price increases and changes in exposure, including amount of insurance. Premium retention statistics are subject to change from period to period based on a number of

factors, including the effect of subsequent cancellations and non-renewals.

**Prior Accident Year Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio-** Represents the increase (decrease) in the estimated cost of settling catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims incurred in prior accident years as recorded in the current calendar year divided by earned premiums.

**Reinstatement Premiums-** Represents additional ceded premium paid for the reinstatement of the amount of reinsurance coverage that was reduced as a result of the Company ceding losses to reinsurers.

**Renewal Earned Price Increase (Decrease)-** Written premiums are earned over the policy term, which is six months for certain personal automobile business and twelve months for substantially all of the remainder of the Company's P&C business. Since the Company earns premiums over the six to twelve month term of the policies, renewal earned price increases (decreases) lag renewal written price increases (decreases) by six to twelve months.

**Renewal Written Price Increase (Decrease)-** For Business Insurance, represents the combined effect of rate changes, and individual risk pricing decisions per unit of exposure on policies that renewed and includes amount of insurance. For Personal Insurance, renewal written price increases represent the total change in premium per policy since the prior year on those policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Insurance, other changes in exposure include, but are not limited to, the effect of changes in number of drivers, vehicles and incidents, as well as changes in customer policy elections, such as deductibles and limits. The rate component represents the change in rate impacting renewal policies as previously filed with and approved by state regulators during the period. Amount of insurance represents the change in the value of the rating base, such as model year/vehicle symbol for automobiles, building replacement costs for property and wage inflation for workers' compensation. A number of factors affect renewal written price increases (decreases) including expected loss costs as projected by the Company's pricing actuaries, rate filings approved by state regulators, risk selection decisions made by the Company's underwriters and marketplace competition. Renewal written price changes reflect the property and casualty insurance market cycle. Prices tend to increase for a particular line of business when insurance carriers have incurred significant losses in that line of business in the recent past or the industry as a whole commits less of its capital to writing exposures in that line of business. Prices tend to decrease when recent loss experience has been favorable or when competition among insurance carriers increases. Renewal written price statistics are subject to change from period to period, based on a number of factors, including changes in actuarial estimates and the effect of subsequent cancellations and non-renewals, and modifications made to better reflect ultimate pricing achieved.

**Return on Assets ("ROA"), Core Earnings-**The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of, the Hartford Funds segment's operating performance. ROA, core earnings is calculated by dividing annualized core earnings by a daily average AUM. ROA is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that ROA, core earnings, provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Hartford Funds segment because it reveals trends in our business that may be obscured by the effect of items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. ROA, core earnings, should not be considered as a substitute for ROA and does not reflect the overall profitability of our Hartford Funds business. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both ROA, and ROA, core earnings when reviewing the Hartford Funds segment performance. A reconciliation of ROA to ROA, core earnings is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Hartford Funds.

**Underlying Combined Ratio-** This non-GAAP financial measure of underwriting results represents the combined ratio before catastrophes, prior accident year development and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes this ratio is an important measure of the trend in profitability since it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve development. The changes to loss reserves upon acquisition of a business are excluded from underlying combined ratio because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition as such trends are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance. A reconciliation of combined ratio to underlying combined ratio is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Business Insurance and Personal Insurance.

**Underwriting Gain (Loss)-** This non-GAAP financial measure is a before tax measure that represents earned premiums less incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Hartford's management evaluates profitability of the Business and Personal Insurance segments primarily on the basis of underwriting gain or loss. Underwriting gain (loss) is influenced significantly by earned premium growth and the adequacy of The Hartford's pricing. Underwriting profitability over time is also greatly influenced by The Hartford's underwriting discipline, as management strives to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, effective management of claims, use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expenses. The Hartford believes that underwriting gain (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability, before tax, derived from underwriting activities, which are managed separately from the Company's investing activities.

**Written and Earned Premiums-** Written premium represents the amount of premiums charged for policies issued, net of reinsurance, during a fiscal period. Premiums are considered earned and are included in the financial results on a pro rata basis over the policy period. Management believes that written premium is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it reflects current trends in the Company's sale of property and casualty insurance products. Written and earned premium are recorded net of ceded reinsurance premium.

Written premium growth, for the Company's property and casualty insurance businesses, is a function of retention, pricing, exposure growth and new business, all of which can be impacted by competitive market conditions and general economic conditions. Changes in reinsurance programs can also impact written premium growth.

Traditional life and disability insurance type products, such as those sold by Employee Benefits, collect premiums from policyholders in exchange for financial protection for the policyholder from a specified insurable loss, such as death or disability. These premiums together with net investment income earned are used to pay the contractual obligations under these insurance contracts.

Two major factors, sales and persistency, impact premium growth. Sales can increase or decrease in a given year based

on a number of factors, including but not limited to, customer demand for the Company's product offerings, pricing competition, distribution channels and the Company's reputation and ratings. Persistency refers to the percentage of premium remaining in-force from year-to-year.

**The Hartford's Operations**

The Hartford conducts business principally in five reportable segments including Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Property & Casualty Other Operations, Employee Benefits and Hartford Funds, as well as a Corporate category. The Company includes in the Corporate category capital raising activities (including equity financing, debt financing and related interest expense), purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill, reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, restructuring costs, transaction expenses incurred in connection with an acquisition, certain M&A costs, and other expenses not allocated to the reportable segments. Corporate also includes investment management fees and expenses related to managing third-party assets.

The Company derives its revenues principally from: (a) premiums earned for insurance coverage provided to insureds; (b) management fees on mutual fund and ETF assets; (c) net investment income; (d) fees earned for services provided

to third parties; and (e) net realized gains and losses. Premiums charged for insurance coverage are earned principally on a pro rata basis over the terms of the related policies in-force.

The profitability of the Company's property and casualty insurance businesses over time is greatly influenced by the Company's underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, its management of claims, its use of reinsurance, the size of its in force block, making reliable estimates of actual mortality and morbidity, and its ability to manage its expense ratio which it accomplishes through economies of scale and its management of acquisition costs and other insurance operating costs. Pricing adequacy depends on a number of factors, including the ability to obtain regulatory approval for rate changes, proper evaluation of underwriting risks, the ability to project future loss cost frequency and severity based on historical loss experience adjusted for known trends, the Company's response to rate actions taken by competitors, its expense levels and expectations about regulatory and legal developments. The Company seeks to price its insurance policies such that insurance premiums and future net investment income earned on premiums received will cover insurance operating costs and the ultimate cost of paying claims reported on the policies and provide for a profit margin. For many of its insurance products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance departments and the Lloyd's Syndicate's ability to write business is subject to Lloyd's approval for its premium capacity each year. Most of Personal Insurance written premium is associated with our exclusive licensing agreement with AARP, which is effective through December 31, 2032. This agreement provides an important competitive advantage given the size of the 50 plus population and the strength of the AARP brand.

Similar to property and casualty, profitability of the Employee Benefits business depends, in large part, on the ability to evaluate and price risks appropriately and make reliable estimates of mortality, morbidity, disability and longevity. To manage the pricing risk, Employee Benefits generally offers term insurance policies, allowing for the adjustment of rates or policy terms in order to minimize the adverse effect of market trends, loss costs, declining interest rates and other factors. However, as policies are typically sold with rate guarantees an average of three years, pricing for the Company's products could prove to be inadequate if loss and expense trends emerge adversely during the rate guarantee period or if investment returns are lower than expected at the time the products were sold. For some of its products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance departments. New and renewal business for employee benefits business, particularly for LTD, are priced using an assumption

about expected investment yields over time. While the Company employs asset-liability duration matching strategies to mitigate risk and may use interest-rate sensitive derivatives to hedge its exposure in the Employee Benefits investment portfolio, cash flow patterns related to the payment of benefits and claims are uncertain and actual investment yields could differ significantly from expected investment yields, affecting profitability of the business. In addition to appropriately evaluating and pricing risks, the profitability of the Employee Benefits business depends on other factors, including the Company's response to pricing decisions and other actions taken by competitors, its ability to offer voluntary products and self-service capabilities, the persistency of its sold business and its ability to manage its expenses which it seeks to achieve through economies of scale and operating efficiencies.

The financial results of the Company's mutual fund and ETF businesses depend largely on the amount of AUM and the level of fees charged based, in part, on asset share class and fund type. Changes in AUM are driven by the two main factors of net flows and the market return of the funds, which are heavily influenced by the return realized in the equity and bond markets. Net flows are comprised of new sales less redemptions by mutual fund and ETF shareowners. Financial results are highly correlated to the growth in AUM since these funds generally earn fee income on a daily basis.

The investment return, or yield, on invested assets is an important element of the Company's earnings since insurance products are priced with the assumption that premiums received can be invested for a period of time before benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid. Due to the need to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy claim obligations, the majority of the Company's invested assets have been held in available-for-sale ("AFS") securities, including, among other asset classes, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government debt, short-term debt, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities ("ABS") and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"). The Company also invests in commercial mortgage loans as well as limited partnerships and other alternative investments, which are private investments that are less liquid, but have the potential to generate higher returns. The primary investment objective for the Company is to maximize economic value, consistent with acceptable risk parameters, including the management of credit risk and interest rate sensitivity of invested assets, while generating sufficient net of tax income to meet policyholder and corporate obligations. Investment strategies are developed based on a variety of factors including business needs, regulatory requirements and tax considerations.

---

Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024

**Net income available to common stockholders** increased by $725, primarily driven by:

• A higher P&C underwriting gain of $623, before tax, primarily driven by the effect of earned premium growth, a higher level of favorable prior accident year reserve development, and a lower underlying loss and LAE ratio in Personal Insurance, partially offset by a higher underlying loss and LAE ratio in Business Insurance;

• Higher net investment income of $343, before tax, driven by a higher level of invested assets, higher income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments, and reinvesting at higher interest rates, partially offset by a lower yield on variable-rate securities; and

• Higher other revenues driven by an increase in valuation of an investment.

These increases were partially offset by:

• In Employee Benefits, the impact of a higher expense ratio, including higher staffing costs and technology costs, and a higher long-term disability loss ratio, partially offset by a lower group life loss ratio, a lower loss ratio on the paid family and medical leave product, and the impact of slightly higher fully insured ongoing premiums; and

• Higher net realized losses of $39, before tax.

Revenue

**Earned Premiums**

![1454](hig-20251231_g21.jpg)

**Earned premiums** increased by $1,463 or 6% primarily due to:

• An increase in P&C reflecting a 9% increase in Business Insurance and an 8% increase in Personal Insurance.

–Contributing to the increase in Business Insurance was the effect of an increase in new business across most lines of business and earned pricing increases.

–For Personal Insurance, earned premium increased primarily due to the effect of earned pricing increases, partially offset by a decline in policies in-force.

• Employee Benefits earned premium was up slightly as an increase in exposure on existing accounts was largely offset by lower fully insured ongoing sales during the past year.

**Fee income** increased primarily due to a $42 increase in Hartford Funds driven by higher daily average assets resulting from an increase in equity market levels, partially offset by net outflows over the preceding twelve-month period.

**Net Investment Income**

![2384](hig-20251231_g22.jpg)

**Net investment income** increased due to the impact of a higher level of invested assets, higher income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments, and reinvesting at higher interest rates, partially offset by a lower yield on variable-rate securities.

**Net realized losses** increased primarily due to:

• Lower appreciation in value of equity securities in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period;

• Losses on transactional foreign currency revaluation in the 2025 period compared to gains in the 2024 period;

• Greater depreciation in value of fixed maturities, at fair value using the fair value option ("FVO securities") in the 2025 period due to changes in credit spreads;

• Impairment of a real estate joint venture in the 2025 period; and

• Gains on interest rate derivatives in the 2024 period.

These losses were partially offset by fewer net losses on sales of fixed maturities.

For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results, Net Investment Income and MD&A - Investment Results, Net Realized Gains (Losses).

Benefits, Losses and Expenses

**Losses and LAE Incurred for P&C**

![3239](hig-20251231_g23.jpg)

**Benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses** increased $364, due to:

• An increase in Property & Casualty of $355, which was attributable to:

–An increase in P&C CAY loss and LAE before catastrophes of $679, before tax, primarily due to the effect of higher earned premiums and a higher underlying loss and LAE ratio in Business Insurance, partially offset by a lower underlying loss and LAE ratio in Personal Insurance.

Partially offset by:

–A favorable change of $304, before tax, in P&C net prior accident year reserve development, with net favorable development in the 2025 period of $424, before tax, and in the 2024 period of $120, before tax. Among other reserve changes, prior year reserve development included adverse development for A&E reserves of $165 and $203, before tax, in 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $62 was ceded to National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire") in 2024 under the A&E ADC and accounted for as a deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance accounting. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has ceded the cumulative treaty limit of $1.5 billion. Also included within net prior accident year reserve development for the year ended 2025 and 2024 was a benefit of $64 and $145, respectively related to amortization of the Navigators ADC deferred gain, which has been fully amortized as of September 30, 2025.

**Losses and LAE Incurred for Employee Benefits**

![4230](hig-20251231_g24.jpg)

Apart from the A&E reserve changes and the amortization of the Navigators ADC deferred gain, net favorable reserve development was $347 higher in 2025. Favorable prior year reserve development in the 2025 period was primarily driven by decreases in reserves related to workers' compensation, Personal Insurance automobile liability and physical damage, catastrophes, bond, homeowners, and commercial property, partially offset by unallocated loss adjustment expense ("ULAE") reserves related to A&E reserves in P&C Other Operations. Favorable prior year reserve development in the 2024 period was primarily driven by decreases in reserves related to workers' compensation, catastrophes, bond, personal automobile liability and physical damage, homeowners, professional liability and uncollectible reinsurance, partially offset by increases in reserves for general liability, commercial automobile liability, assumed reinsurance, and unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to A&E reserves in P&C Other Operations.

–A decrease in CAY catastrophe losses of $20, before tax. Catastrophe losses in the 2025 period included losses from tornado, wind and hail events across several regions, but concentrated in the South and Midwest regions, and to a lesser extent, the Mid Atlantic and Mountain West regions as well as a loss of $305, net of reinsurance, from the January 2025 California Wildfire Event. Catastrophe losses in the 2024 period included losses from tornado, wind and hail events across several regions of the United States, as well as hurricanes and tropical storms primarily in the Southeast, South and Mid-Atlantic regions, and, to a lesser extent, from winter storms, primarily in the Pacific, Northeast, and South regions.

For further discussion, see Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee Benefits losses and LAE increased slightly as a higher long-term disability loss ratio was partially offset by a lower group life loss ratio, reflecting reduced mortality, and improved results on the paid family and medical leave product due to pricing actions. The increase in long-term disability was driven by higher current-year loss trends and a benefit in the prior year related to an update to the long-term disability claim recovery rate assumptions.

**Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs** increased from the prior year period driven by Business Insurance, reflecting an increase in earned premiums across all lines of business.

**Insurance operating costs and other expenses** increased due to:

• Higher staffing costs, including higher incentive compensation and benefits costs, partly in response to increased business volume; and

• Higher technology costs, including increased investment.

**Income tax expense** increased primarily due to an increase in income before tax. For further discussion of income taxes, see Note 16 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Total investments** increased primarily due to an increase in fixed maturities, AFS, at fair value and limited partnerships and other alternative investments.

**Fixed maturities, AFS, at fair value** increased primarily due to net additions of corporate bonds, high-quality residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") and ABS, partially offset by net reductions to tax-exempt municipal bonds. The increase was also due to higher valuations as a result of lower interest rates.

**Limited partnerships and other alternative investments** increased primarily driven by additional investments and higher valuations.

**Average reinvestment rate** on fixed maturities and mortgage loans, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, for the year-ended December 31, 2025 was 5.6%, which was above the average yield of sales and maturities of 5.0% for the same period. Average reinvestment rate on fixed maturities and mortgage loans, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, for the year-ended December 31, 2024 was 5.9%, which was above the average yield of sales and maturities of 5.0% for the same period.

For the 2026 calendar year, we estimate the change in net investment income to increase due to a higher level of invested assets and a higher yield on limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The estimated change in net investment income is subject to variability including the impact of evolving market conditions.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Year ended December 31, 2025**

**Gross gains and losses on sales** were primarily due to sales of tax-exempt municipals and corporate securities to fund purchases of higher-yielding investments.

**Equity securities** net gains were primarily driven by an increase in value due to higher equity market levels.

**Other, net** losses primarily included losses of $30 on FVO securities due to a decrease in value, losses of $20 on a real estate joint venture impairment, losses of $15 on transactional foreign currency revaluation, and losses of $14 on equity derivatives driven by changes in equity market levels.

**Year ended December 31, 2024**

**Gross gains and losses on sales** were primarily due to sales of U.S. treasuries, corporate securities, tax-exempt municipals, and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") largely to fund purchases of higher-yielding investments.

**Equity securities** net gains were primarily driven by an increase in value due to higher equity market levels.

**Other, net** gains primarily included gains of $20 on transactional foreign currency revaluation and gains of $8 on interest rate derivatives driven by changes in interest rates.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ, and in the past have differed, from those estimates.

The Company has identified the following estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:

• property and casualty insurance product reserves, net of reinsurance;

• employee benefit LTD reserves, net of reinsurance;

• evaluation of goodwill for impairment;

• valuation of investments and derivative instruments including evaluation of credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS and ACL on mortgage loans; and

• contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters.In developing these estimates management makes subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and circumstances develop. Although variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are appropriate based upon the facts available upon compilation of the financial statements. Certain of these estimates are particularly sensitive to market conditions, and deterioration and/or volatility in the worldwide debt or equity markets could have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For descriptions of the coverages provided under the lines of business shown above, see Part I - Item1, Business.

**Overview of Reserving for Property and Casualty Insurance Claims**

It typically takes many months or years to pay claims incurred under a property and casualty insurance product; accordingly,

the Company must establish reserves at the time the loss is incurred. Most of the Company's policies provide for occurrence-based coverage where the loss is incurred when a claim event happens, like an automobile accident, house or building fire or injury to an employee under a workers' compensation policy. Some of the Company's policies, mostly for directors and officers insurance and errors and omissions insurance, are claims-made policies where the loss is incurred in the period the claim event is reported to the Company even if the loss event itself occurred in an earlier period.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves provide for the estimated ultimate costs of paying claims under insurance policies written by the Company, less amounts paid to date. These reserves include estimates for both claims that have been reported and those that have not yet been reported, and include estimates of all expenses associated with processing and settling these claims. Case reserves are established by a claims handler on each individual claim and are adjusted as new information becomes known during the course of handling the claim. Incurred but not reported ("IBNR") reserves represent the difference between the estimated ultimate cost of all claims and the actual loss and loss adjustment expenses reported to the Company by claimants to date ("reported losses"). Reported losses represent cumulative loss and loss adjustment expenses paid plus case reserves for outstanding reported claims. For most lines, Company actuaries evaluate the total reserves (IBNR and case reserves) on an accident year basis. An accident year is the calendar year in which a loss is incurred, or, in the case of claims-made policies, the calendar year in which a loss is reported. For certain lines, total reserves are evaluated

on a policy year basis and then converted to accident year. A policy year is the calendar year in which a policy incepts.

**Factors that Change Reserve Estimates-** Reserve estimates can change over time because of unexpected changes in the external environment. Higher than expected inflation in claim costs, such as with medical care, hospital care, automobile parts, wages, and home and building repair, would cause claims to settle for more than they are initially reserved. Changes in the economy can cause an increase or decrease in the number of reported claims (claim frequency). For example, an improving economy could result in more automobile miles driven and a higher number of automobile-related claims, or a change in economic conditions can lead to more or fewer workers' compensation reported claims. An increase in the number or percentage of claims litigated can increase the average settlement amount per claim (claim severity). Changes in the judicial environment can affect interpretations of damages and how policy coverage applies, which could increase or decrease claim severity. Over time, judges or juries in certain jurisdictions may be more inclined to determine liability and award damages. New legislation can also change how damages are defined or change the statutes of limitations for the filing of civil suits, resulting in greater claim frequency or severity. In addition, new types of injuries may arise from exposures not contemplated when the policies were written. Past examples include pharmaceutical products, silica, lead paint, sexual molestation and sexual abuse and construction defects. Additionally, legal system abuse pressures, such as increased litigation funding and aggressive tactics by plaintiff attorneys, can introduce the risk of potentially increasing jury awards and an increase in the percentage of litigated claims impacting both general liability and automobile claim frequency and severity.

Reserve estimates can also change over time because of changes in internal Company operations. A delay or acceleration in handling claims may signal a need to increase or reduce reserves from what was initially estimated. New lines of business may have loss development patterns that are not well established. Changes in the geographic mix of business, changes in the mix of business by industry and changes in the mix of business by policy limit or deductible can increase the risk that losses will ultimately develop differently than the loss development patterns assumed in our reserving. In addition, changes in the quality of risk selection in underwriting and changes in interpretations of policy language could increase or decrease ultimate losses from what was assumed in establishing the reserves.

In the case of assumed reinsurance, all of the above risks apply. The Company assumes property and casualty risks from other insurance companies as part of its Global Re business and from certain pools and associations. Global Re, which is a part of the global specialty business, mostly assumes property, casualty and specialty risks. Changes in the case reserving and reporting patterns of insurance companies ceding to The Hartford can create additional uncertainty in estimating the reserves. Due to the inherent complexity of the assumptions used, final claim settlements may vary significantly from the present estimates of direct and assumed reserves, particularly when those settlements may not occur until well into the future.

**Reinsurance Recoverables-** Through both facultative and treaty reinsurance agreements, the Company cedes a

share of the risks it has underwritten to other insurance companies. The Company records reinsurance recoverables for losses and loss adjustment expenses ceded to its reinsurers representing the anticipated recovery from reinsurers of unpaid claims, including IBNR.

The Company estimates the portion of losses and loss adjustment expenses to be ceded based on the terms of any applicable facultative and treaty reinsurance, including an estimate of IBNR for losses that will ultimately be ceded.

The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, reflecting management's best estimate of reinsurance cessions that may be uncollectible in the future due to reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to pay. The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance comprises an ACL and an allowance for disputed balances. The ACL primarily considers the credit quality of the Company's reinsurers while the allowance for disputes considers recent outcomes in arbitration and litigation in disputes between reinsurers and cedants and recent commutation activity between reinsurers and cedants that may signal how the Company's own reinsurance claims may settle. Where its reinsurance contracts permit, the Company secures reinsurance recoverables with various forms of collateral, including irrevocable letters of credit, secured trusts, funds held accounts and group-wide offsets. The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance was $66 as of December 31, 2025, comprised of $27 related to Business Insurance, $2 related to Personal Insurance and $37 related to Property & Casualty Other Operations.

The Company's estimate of reinsurance recoverables, net of an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimate of the gross reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses for direct and assumed exposures.

**Review of Reserve Adequacy-** The Hartford regularly reviews the appropriateness of reserve levels at the line of business or more detailed level, taking into consideration the variety of trends that impact the ultimate settlement of claims. For Property & Casualty Other Operations, asbestos and environmental ("Run-off A&E") reserves are reviewed by type of event rather than by line of business.

Reserve adjustments, which may be material, are reflected in the operating results of the period in which the adjustment is determined to be necessary. In the judgment of management, information currently available has been properly considered in establishing the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and in recording the reinsurance recoverables for ceded unpaid losses.

**Reserving Methodology**

The following is a discussion of the reserving methods used for the Company's property and casualty lines of business other than asbestos and environmental.

Reserves are set by line of business within the operating segments. A single line of business may be written in more than one segment. Lines of business for which reported losses emerge over a long period of time are referred to as long-tail lines of business. Lines of business for which reported losses emerge more quickly are referred to as short-tail lines of business. The Company's shortest-tail lines of business are

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

homeowners, commercial property, marine property and automobile physical damage. The longest-tail lines of business include workers' compensation, general liability, professional liability and assumed reinsurance. For short-tail lines of business, emergence of paid losses and case reserves is credible and likely indicative of ultimate losses. For long-tail lines of business, emergence of paid losses and case reserves is less credible in the early periods after a given accident year and, accordingly, may not be indicative of ultimate losses.

**Use of Actuarial Methods and Judgments-** The Company's reserving actuaries regularly review reserves for both current and prior accident years using the most current claim data. A variety of actuarial methods and judgments are used for most lines of business to arrive at selections of estimated ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses. New methods may be added for specific lines over time to inform these selections where appropriate. The reserve selections incorporate input, as appropriate, from claims personnel, pricing actuaries and operating management about reported loss cost trends and other factors that could affect the reserve estimates. Some reserves are reviewed fully each quarter, including loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for commercial property, homeowners, personal automobile, and most workers' compensation lines. Other reserves, including commercial automobile, marine, package business, and most general liability and professional liability lines, are reviewed semi-annually. Certain additional reserves are also reviewed semi-annually or annually, including reserves for losses incurred in accident years older than twelve years for Personal Insurance and older than twenty years for Business Insurance, as well as reserves for bond, assumed reinsurance, latent exposures such as construction defects, and ULAE. For reserves that are reviewed semi-annually or annually, management monitors the emergence of paid and reported losses in the intervening quarters and, if warranted, performs a reserve review to determine whether the reserve estimate should change.

An expected loss ratio ("ELR") is used in initially recording the reserves for both short-tail and long-tail lines of business. This ELR is determined by starting with the average loss ratio of recent prior accident years and adjusting that ratio for the effect of expected changes to earned pricing, loss frequency and severity, mix of business, ceded reinsurance and other factors. For short-tail lines, IBNR for the current accident year gives weight to both the initial ELR multiplied by earned premium approach as well as a loss development approach, given early reported losses are more credible than in long tailed lines. For long-tailed lines, IBNR for the current accident year is initially recorded as the product of the ELR for the period and the earned premium for the period, less reported losses for the period.

As losses emerge or develop in periods subsequent to a given accident year, reserving actuaries use other methods to

estimate ultimate unpaid losses in addition to the ELR method. These primarily include paid and reported loss development methods, frequency/severity techniques and the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method (a combination of the ELR method with the paid development or reported development method). Within any one line of business, the methods that are given more weight vary based primarily on the maturity of the accident year, the mix of business and the particular internal and external influences impacting the claims experience or the methods. The output of the reserve reviews are reserve estimates representing a range of actuarial indications.

**Reserve Discounting-** Most of the Company's property and casualty insurance product reserves are not discounted. However, the Company has discounted liabilities funded through structured settlements and has discounted a portion of workers' compensation reserves that have a fixed and determinable payment stream. For further discussion of these discounted liabilities, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Differences Between U.S. GAAP and Statutory Basis Reserves-** As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, U.S. property and casualty insurance product reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance recoverables, reported under U.S. GAAP were approximately $1.4 billion lower than net reserves reported on a statutory basis, primarily due to reinsurance recoverables on the A&E adverse development cover reinsurance agreement which is recorded as a reduction of other liabilities under statutory accounting. For further discussion of these adverse development cover reinsurance agreements, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the effect of these retroactive reinsurance agreements, U.S. property and casualty insurance product reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance recoverables, reported under U.S. GAAP were approximately equal to net reserves reported on a statutory basis.

**Preferred Reserving Methods by Line of Business**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Commercial property, homeowners and automobile physical damage** | These short-tailed lines are relatively fast-developing and paid and reported development techniques are used. These methods use historical data to generate paid and reported loss development patterns, which are then applied to cumulative paid and reported losses by accident period to estimate ultimate losses. In addition to paid and reported development methods, for the most immature accident months, the Company uses frequency/severity techniques and methods that incorporate the initial ELR. The advantage of frequency/severity techniques is that frequency estimates are generally more stable and external information can be used to supplement internal data in estimating average severity. For personal automobile physical damage, the Company also considers gross loss, salvage and subrogation estimates to project net ultimate losses for recent accident periods. |
| **Personal automobile liability** | For personal automobile liability, and bodily injury in particular, in addition to traditional paid and reported development methods, the Company relies on frequency/severity techniques and the initial ELR. The Company generally uses the reported development method for older accident years and a combination of reported development, frequency/severity and the initial ELR for more recent accident years. For older accident periods, reported losses are a good indicator of ultimate losses given the high percentage of ultimate losses reported to date. For more recent periods, where there is more uncertainty and a higher percentage of open and unreported claims, putting some reliance on frequency/severity and initial expectations is prudent. The Company supplements these standard actuarial methods with a comprehensive review of claims diagnostics such as attorney representation, litigation, settlement rates, large loss impacts, and case reserve adequacy. Through reviewing the standard actuarial methods and claims diagnostics, a loss estimate can be calculated that considers these results and the age of the accident year that is being estimated. |
| **Commercial automobile liability** | The Company performs a variety of techniques, including the paid and reported development methods and frequency/severity techniques. For older, more mature accident years, the Company primarily uses reported development techniques. For more recent accident years, the Company relies on several methods that incorporate ELR, reported loss development, paid loss development, and frequency/severity. |
| **Professional liability** | Reported and paid loss development patterns for this line tend to be volatile. Therefore, the Company typically supplements the ELR method and paid and reported development methods with others such as individual claim reviews and frequency and severity techniques. |
| **General liability, bond and large deductible workers' compensation** | For these long-tailed lines of business, the Company generally relies on the ELR and paid and reported development techniques. The Company generally weights these techniques together, relying more heavily on the ELR method at early ages of development and shifting more weight onto paid and reported development methods as an accident year matures. The Company also uses various frequency/severity methods aimed at capturing large loss development and in some bond lines individual claim reviews are used. |
| **Workers' compensation** | Workers' compensation is the Company's single largest reserve line of business and a wide range of methods are used. Due to the long-tailed nature of workers' compensation, the selection of methods is driven by ELR methods for recent accident years and then, as an accident year matures, shifting first to Bornhuetter-Ferguson and frequency/severity methods, then to paid and reported development methods, and finally to methods that are responsive to the inventory of open claims. Across these techniques, there are adjustments related to changes in emergence patterns across years, projections of future cost inflation, and outlier claims. |
| **Marine** | For marine liability, the Company generally relies on the ELR, Bornhuetter-Ferguson, and reported development techniques. The Company generally weights these techniques together, relying more heavily on the ELR method at early ages of development and then shifts towards Bornhuetter-Ferguson and then more towards the reported development method as an accident year matures. For marine property segments, the Company relies on Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods for early development ages then shifts to reported development techniques. |
| **Assumed reinsurance and all other** | Standard methods, such as ELR, Bornhuetter-Ferguson and reported development techniques are applied. These methods are informed by underlying treaty analyses supporting the ELRs, and cedant data will often inform the loss development patterns. In some instances, reserve indications may also be influenced by information gained from claims and underwriting audits. Policy quarter and policy year loss reserve estimates are then converted to an accident year basis. |
| **Allocated loss adjustment expenses ("ALAE")** | For some lines of business (e.g., professional liability, assumed reinsurance, and the acquired Navigators Group book of business), ALAE and losses are analyzed together. For most lines of business, however, ALAE is analyzed separately, using paid development techniques and a ratio of paid ALAE to paid loss applied to loss reserves to estimate unpaid ALAE. |
| **Unallocated loss adjustment expenses** | ULAE is analyzed separately from loss and ALAE. For most lines of business, future ULAE costs to be paid are projected based on a claim projection method that applies an expected claim handling cost per unit to projected claims, leveraging the anticipated claim closure pattern and the ratio of paid ULAE to paid loss applied to estimated unpaid losses. For some lines, a simplified paid-to-paid approach is used. |

The recorded reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the Company's best estimate of the ultimate settlement amount of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. In applying judgment, the best estimate is selected after considering the estimates derived from a number of actuarial methods, giving more weight to those methods deemed more predictive of ultimate unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company does not produce a statistical range or confidence interval of reserve estimates and, since reserving methods with more credibility are given greater weight, the selected best estimate may differ from the mid-point of the various estimates produced by the actuarial methods used.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Assumptions used in arriving at the selected actuarial indications consider a number of factors, including the immaturity of emerged claims in recent accident years, emerging trends in the recent past, and the level of volatility within each line of business.

Adjustments to reserves for prior accident years are referred to as "prior accident year development". Increases in previous estimates of ultimate loss costs are referred to as either an increase in prior accident year reserves or as unfavorable reserve development. Decreases in previous estimates of ultimate loss costs are referred to as either a decrease in prior accident year reserves or as favorable reserve development. Reserve development can influence the comparability of year over year underwriting results.

For a discussion of changes to reserve estimates recorded in 2025, see Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Current Trends Contributing to Reserve Uncertainty**

The Hartford is a multi-line company in the property and casualty insurance business. The Hartford is, therefore, subject to reserve uncertainty stemming from changes in loss trends and other conditions which could become material at any point in time. As market conditions and loss trends develop, management must assess whether those conditions constitute a long-term trend that should result in a reserving action (i.e., increasing or decreasing reserves).

**General liability-** Within Business Insurance and Property & Casualty Other Operations, the Company has exposure to general liability claims, including from bodily injury, property damage and product liability. Reserves for these exposures can be particularly difficult to estimate due to the long development pattern and uncertainty around how cases will settle. In particular, the Company has exposure to bodily injury claims that arise from long-term or continuous exposure to harmful products or substances. Examples include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical products, silica, talcum powder, per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"),Chronic Toxic Encephalopathy ("CTE") exposures and lead paint. The Company also has exposure to claims from construction defects, where property damage or bodily injury from negligent construction is alleged. In addition, the Company has exposure to claims asserted against religious institutions, and other organizations relating to sexual molestation and sexual abuse. For information related to the Company's settlement agreement with the Boy Scouts of America ("BSA"), see Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. State "reviver" statutes, extending statutes of limitations for certain sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims, could result in additional litigation or could result in unexpected sexual molestation and sexual abuse losses. Such exposures may involve potentially long latency periods and may implicate coverage in multiple policy periods, which can raise complex coverage issues with significant effects on the ultimate scope of coverage. Such exposures may also be impacted by insured bankruptcies. These factors make reserves for such claims more uncertain than other bodily injury or property damage claims. With regard to these exposures, the

Company monitors trends in litigation, the external environment including legislation, the similarities to other mass torts and the potential impact on the Company's reserves. The Company also monitors the effects of legal system abuse and the impact of increased litigation funding and aggressive trial tactics by plaintiff attorneys that can introduce the risk of potentially increasing jury awards and an increase in the percentage of litigated claims. Additionally, uncertainty in estimated claim severity causes reserve variability, including the effect of changes in internal claim handling and case reserving practices.

**Workers' compensation-** Included in both small business and middle & large business, workers' compensation is the Company's single biggest line of business, and the property and casualty line of business with the longest pattern of loss emergence. To the extent that patterns in the frequency of settlement payments deviate from historical patterns, loss reserve estimates would be less reliable. Medical costs make up approximately 50% of workers' compensation payments. As such, reserve estimates for workers' compensation are particularly sensitive to changes in medical inflation, the changing use of medical care procedures and changes in state legislative and regulatory environments. In addition, changes in the economic environment could reduce the ability of an injured worker to return to work and thus lengthen the time a worker receives disability benefits. In national accounts, reserves for large deductible workers' compensation insurance require estimating losses attributable to the deductible amount that will be paid by the insured; if such losses are not paid by the insured due to financial difficulties, the Company is contractually liable.

**Commercial automobile-** Uncertainty in estimated claim severity causes reserve variability for commercial automobile losses including reserve variability due to changes in internal claim handling and case reserving practices as well as due to changes in the external environment, including but not limited to the impacts of legal system abuse mentioned in the general liability section above and many of the same drivers detailed in the personal automobile section below.

**Directors and officers insurance-** Uncertainty regarding the number and severity of security class action suits can result in reserve volatility for directors and officers insurance claims. Additionally, the Company's exposure to losses under directors and officers insurance policies, both domestically and internationally, is primarily in excess layers, making estimates of loss more complex.

**Personal automobile-** While claims emerge over relatively shorter periods, estimates can still vary due to a number of factors, including uncertain estimates of frequency and severity trends. Severity trends are influenced by internal factors such as claim handling and case reserving practices, as well as external conditions including supply chain stability, which affect parts and labor costs. Severity trends can also be impacted by legal system abuse whereby increased litigation funding and aggressive trial tactics by plaintiff attorneys can introduce the risk of potentially increasing jury awards and an increase in the percentage of litigated claims. Changes in claim practices increase the uncertainty in the interpretation of case reserve data, which increases the uncertainty in recorded reserve levels. Recent accident years have exhibited shifts in claim severity development, influenced by factors such as higher costs for advanced vehicle components and greater attorney

involvement, raising uncertainty about the reliability of historical patterns. In addition, the introduction of new products and class plans can lead to a different mix of business by type of insured than the Company experienced in the past. Changes in mix increase the uncertainty of the reserve projections since historical data and reporting patterns may not be applicable to the new business.

**Assumed reinsurance-** While pricing and reserving processes can be challenging and idiosyncratic for insurance companies, the inherent uncertainties of setting prices and estimating such reserves are even greater for the reinsurer. This is primarily due to the longer time between the date of an occurrence and the reporting of claims to the reinsurer, the diversity of development patterns among different types of reinsurance treaties or contracts, the necessary reliance on the ceding companies for information regarding reported claims and differing pricing and reserving practices among ceding companies. In addition, trends that have affected development of liabilities in the past may not necessarily occur or impact liability development in the same manner or to the same degree in the future. As a result, actual losses and LAE may deviate, perhaps substantially, from the expected estimates.

**International business-** In addition to several of the line-specific trends listed above, international business may have additional uncertainty due to geopolitical, foreign currency, and trade dispute risks.

**Catastrophes-** Within Business Insurance and Personal Insurance, the Company is exposed to losses from catastrophe events, primarily for damage to property. Reserves for hurricanes, tropical storms, tornado/hail, wildfires, earthquakes and other catastrophe events are subject to significant uncertainty about the number and average severity of claims arising from those events, particularly in cases where the event occurs near the end of a financial reporting period when there is limited information about the extent of damages. For example, after a catastrophe event, it may take a period of time before we are able to access the impacted areas limiting the ability of our claims adjusting staff to inspect losses, make estimates and determine the damages that are covered by the policy. To estimate catastrophe losses, we consider information from claim notices received to date, third party data, visual images of the affected area where we have exposures and our own historical experience of loss reporting patterns for similar events.

**Impact of Key Assumptions on Reserves** 

As stated above, the Company's practice is to estimate reserves using a variety of methods, assumptions, and data elements within its reserve estimation. The Company does not use statistical loss distributions or confidence levels in the process of determining its reserve estimate and, as a result, does not disclose reserve ranges.

Across most lines of business, the most important reserve assumptions are future loss development factors applied to paid or reported losses to date. The trend in loss cost frequency and severity is also a key assumption, particularly in the most recent accident years, where loss development factors are less credible.

The following discussion discloses possible variation from current estimates of loss reserves due to a change in certain

key indicators of potential losses. For automobile liability lines in both Personal Insurance and Business Insurance, the key indicator is the annual loss cost trend, particularly the severity trend component of loss costs. For workers' compensation and general liability, loss development patterns are a key indicator, particularly for more mature accident years. For workers' compensation, paid loss development patterns have been impacted by medical cost inflation and other changes in loss cost trends. For general liability, incurred loss development patterns have been impacted by, among other things, emergence of new types of claims (e.g., PFAS claims) and a shift in the mixture between smaller, more routine claims and larger, more complex claims.

Each of the impacts described below is estimated individually, without consideration for any correlation among key indicators or among lines of business. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to take each of the amounts described below and add them together in an attempt to estimate volatility for the Company's reserves in total. For any one reserving line of business, the estimated variation in reserves due to changes in key indicators is a reasonable estimate of potential reserve development that may occur in the future, likely over a period of several calendar years. The variation discussed is not meant to be a worst-case scenario, and, therefore, it is possible that future variation may be more than the amounts discussed below. Moreover, the variation discussed does not represent a statistical range of potential reserve outcomes, and factors exist beyond the key indicators considered which have the potential to drive additional variation to the Company's reserves.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Reserving for Asbestos and Environmental Claims**

**How A&E Reserves are Set-** The process for establishing reserves for asbestos and environmental claims first involves estimating the required reserves gross of ceded reinsurance and then estimating reinsurance recoverables.

In establishing reserves for gross asbestos claims, the Company evaluates its insureds' estimated liabilities for such claims by examining exposures for individual insureds and assessing how coverage applies. The Company considers a variety of factors, including the jurisdictions where underlying claims have been brought, past, pending and anticipated future claim activity, the level of plaintiff demands, disease mix, past settlement values of similar claims, dismissal rates, allocated loss adjustment expense, and potential impact of other defendants being in bankruptcy.

Similarly, the Company reviews exposures to establish gross environmental reserves. The Company considers several factors in estimating environmental liabilities, including historical values of similar claims, the number of sites involved, the insureds' alleged activities at each site, the alleged environmental damage, the respective shares of liability of potentially responsible parties, the appropriateness and cost of remediation, the nature of governmental enforcement activities or mandated remediation efforts and potential impact of other defendants being in bankruptcy.

After evaluating its insureds' probable liabilities for asbestos and/or environmental claims, the Company evaluates the insurance coverage in place for such claims. The Company considers its insureds' total available insurance coverage, including the coverage issued by the Company. The Company also considers relevant judicial interpretations of policy language, the nature of how policy limits are enforced on multi-year policies and applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any.

The estimated liabilities of insureds and the Company's exposure to the insureds depend heavily on an analysis of the relevant legal issues and litigation environment. This analysis is conducted by the Company's lawyers and is subject to applicable privileges.

For both asbestos and environmental reserves, the Company also analyzes its historical paid and reported losses and expenses year by year, to assess any emerging trends, fluctuations or characteristics suggested by the aggregate paid and reported activity. The historical losses and expenses are analyzed on both a direct basis and net of reinsurance.

Once the gross ultimate exposure for indemnity and allocated loss adjustment expense is determined for its insureds by each policy year, the Company calculates its ceded reinsurance

recoverables based on any applicable facultative and treaty reinsurance and the Company's experience with reinsurance collections. See the section that follows entitled A&E Adverse Development Cover that discusses the impact the reinsurance agreement with NICO may have on future adverse development of asbestos and environmental reserves, if any.

**Uncertainties Regarding Adequacy of A&E Reserves-** A number of factors affect the variability of estimates for gross asbestos and environmental reserves including assumptions with respect to the frequency of claims, the average severity of those claims settled with payment, the dismissal rate of claims with no payment, resolution of coverage disputes with our policyholders and the expense to indemnity ratio. Reserve estimates for gross asbestos and environmental reserves are subject to greater variability than reserve estimates for more traditional exposures.

The process of estimating asbestos and environmental reserves remains subject to a wide variety of uncertainties, which are detailed in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that its current asbestos and environmental reserves are appropriate. Future developments could continue to cause the Company to change its estimates of its gross asbestos and environmental reserves. Losses ceded under the adverse development cover ("A&E ADC") with NICO in excess of the ceded premium paid of $650 have resulted in a deferred gain resulting in a timing difference between when gross reserves are increased and when reinsurance recoveries are recognized. This timing difference results in a charge to net income until such periods when the recoveries are recognized. Consistent with past practice, the Company will continue to monitor its reserves in Property & Casualty Other Operations regularly, including its annual reviews of asbestos liabilities, reinsurance recoverables, the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, and environmental liabilities. Where future developments indicate, we will make appropriate adjustments to the reserves at that time.

**Total P&C Insurance Product Reserves Development**

In the opinion of management, based upon the known facts and current law, the reserves recorded for the Company's property and casualty insurance products at December 31, 2025 represent the Company's best estimate of its ultimate liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. However, because of the significant uncertainties surrounding reserves, it is possible that management's estimate of the ultimate liabilities for these claims may change in the future and that the required adjustment to currently recorded reserves could be material to the Company's results of operations or liquidity.

Property & Casualty Other Operations

Net reserves and reserve activity in Property & Casualty Other Operations are categorized and reported as asbestos, environmental, and "all other". The "all other" category of reserves covers a wide range of insurance and assumed reinsurance coverages, including, but not limited to, potential liability for lead paint, silica, pharmaceutical products, head injuries, sexual molestation and sexual abuse and other long-tail liabilities. In addition to various insurance and assumed reinsurance exposures, "all other" includes unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves. "All other" also includes the Company's allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. When the Company commutes a ceded reinsurance contract or settles a ceded reinsurance dispute, net reserves for the related cause of

loss (including asbestos, environmental or all other) are increased for the portion of the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance attributable to that commutation or settlement.

**Asbestos and Environmental Reserves**

The vast majority of the Company's exposure to A&E relates to policy coverages provided prior to 1986 and is reported within the P&C Other Operations segment ("Run-off A&E"). In addition, since 1986 the Company has written A&E exposures under general liability policies and pollution liability under homeowners policies, which are reported in the Business Insurance and Personal Insurance segments, respectively.

**A&E Adverse Development Cover**

Effective December 31, 2016, the Company entered into an A&E ADC reinsurance agreement with NICO to reduce uncertainty regarding potential adverse development. Under the A&E ADC, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $650 for NICO to assume adverse net loss and allocated loss adjustment expense reserve development up to $1.5 billion above the Company's existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion, including both Run-off A&E and A&E reserves in Business Insurance and Personal Insurance. The $650 reinsurance premium was placed in a collateral trust account as security for NICO's claim payment obligations to the Company. The Company has retained the risk of collection on amounts due from other third-party reinsurers and through 2025 continued to be responsible for claims handling and other administrative services, subject to certain conditions. The A&E ADC covered substantially all the

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Company's A&E reserve development up to the reinsurance limit, which as of December 31, 2025, has been exhausted.

Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, net adverse A&E reserve development after December 31, 2016 results in an offsetting reinsurance recoverable up to the $1.5 billion limit. Cumulative ceded losses up to the $650 reinsurance premium paid have been recognized as a dollar-for-dollar offset to direct losses incurred. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding the $650 reinsurance premium paid have resulted in a deferred gain. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has exhausted the treaty limit and incurred a cumulative $1.5 billion in adverse development on A&E reserves that have been ceded under the A&E ADC treaty with NICO, all within Run-off A&E. As such, no remaining coverage is available for any future adverse net reserve development, which may be significant. The Company has recorded a $850 deferred gain within other liabilities, representing the difference between the reinsurance recoverable of $1.5 billion and ceded premium paid of $650. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has paid cumulative losses in excess of the $1.7 billion attachment point. The Company has recorded $1,436 of ceded unpaid reinsurance loss and LAE recoverables and $64 of paid reinsurance loss and LAE recoverables related to the A&E ADC on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. The

deferred gain will be recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries.

**Net and Gross Survival Ratios**

Net and gross survival ratios are a measure of the quotient of the carried reserves divided by average annual payments (net of reinsurance and on a gross basis) and is an indication of the number of years that carried reserves would last (i.e., survive) if future annual payments were consistent with the calculated historical average.The net survival ratios presented in the table below are calculated before considering the effect of the A&E ADC reinsurance agreement but net of other reinsurance in place.

**Annual Reserve Reviews**

**Review of Asbestos and Environmental Reserves**

The Company performs its regular comprehensive annual review of asbestos and environmental reserves in the fourth quarter, including both Run-off A&E (P&C Other Operations) and asbestos and environmental reserves included in Business Insurance and Personal Insurance. As part of the evaluation of asbestos and environmental reserves in the fourth quarter of

2025, the Company reviewed all of its open direct domestic insurance accounts exposed to asbestos and environmental liability, as well as assumed reinsurance accounts.

**2025 comprehensive annual reviews**

As a result of the 2025 fourth quarter review, the Company increased asbestos and environmental reserves by a total of $165 in P&C Other Operations, which included increases of $122 and $43 for asbestos and environmental reserves, respectively. The increase in asbestos reserves was primarily driven by higher-than-expected frequency, an increase in claim

settlement rates, and higher settlement values for a subset of accounts. The increase in environmental reserves was due to higher environmental site cleanup and monitoring costs and higher legal expenses.

**2024 comprehensive annual reviews** 

As a result of the 2024 fourth quarter review, the Company increased asbestos reserves before NICO reinsurance by $167 in P&C Other Operations, primarily driven by higher-than-expected frequency, higher settlement values for certain accounts, an increase in the Company's share of liability due to insolvencies and cost sharing agreements and an increase in claim settlement rates.

As a result of the 2024 fourth quarter review, the Company increased environmental reserves before NICO reinsurance by $36 in P&C Other Operations, primarily due to higher severity on recently emerged accounts, higher environmental site cleanup and monitoring costs, and higher legal expenses.

The total $203 increase in asbestos and environmental reserves was charged to earnings in 2024 within P&C Other Operations, which includes $62 that was ceded to the NICO ADC and recorded as a deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance accounting. As of December 31, 2024, the Company ceded the cumulative treaty limit of $1.5 billion.

For information regarding the 2023 comprehensive annual review, refer to Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in The Hartford's 2024 Form 10-K Annual Report.

**Review of "All Other" Reserves in Property & Casualty Other Operations**

Prior year development on all other reserves resulted in increases of $31, $16 and $30, respectively for calendar years 2025, 2024 and 2023. Included in the 2025 adverse reserve development was an increase in ULAE reserves, primarily due to an increase in expected aggregate claim handling costs associated with asbestos and environmental claims.

The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, reflecting management's best estimate of reinsurance cessions that may be uncollectible in the future due to reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to pay. In performing its assessment, the Company evaluates the collectibility of the reinsurance recoverables and the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance associated with older, long-term casualty liabilities reported in Property & Casualty Other Operations. In conducting these evaluations, the Company used its most recent detailed evaluations of ceded liabilities reported in the segment. The Company analyzed the overall credit quality of the Company's reinsurers, recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes between cedants and reinsurers, and recent developments in commutation activity between reinsurers and cedants. As of 2025, 2024, and 2023 the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance for Property & Casualty Other Operations totaled $37, $41 and $53, respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainties as to collection and the length of time before reinsurance recoverables become due, particularly for older, long-term casualty liabilities, it is possible that future adjustments to the Company's reinsurance recoverables, net of the allowance, could be required.

Impact of Re-estimates on Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves

Estimating property and casualty insurance product reserves uses a variety of methods, assumptions and data elements. Ultimate losses may vary materially from the current estimates. Many factors can contribute to these variations and the need to change the previous estimate of required reserve levels. Prior accident year reserve development is generally due to the emergence of additional facts that were not known or anticipated at the time of the prior reserve estimate and/or due to changes in interpretations of information and trends.

The table below shows the range of annual reserve re-estimates experienced by The Hartford over the past ten years. The range of prior accident year development shown in the table below is net of losses ceded, including losses ceded under two adverse development cover reinsurance agreements with NICO. The amount of prior accident year development (as shown in the reserve rollforward) for a given calendar year is expressed as a percent of the beginning calendar year reserves, net of reinsurance. The ranges presented are significantly influenced by the facts and circumstances of each particular year and by the fact that only the last ten years are included in the range. Accordingly, these percentages are not intended to be a prediction of the range of possible future variability. For further discussion of the potential for variability in recorded loss reserves, see Preferred Reserving Methods by Line of Business and Impact of Key Assumptions on Reserves sections.

Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance and Asbestos and Environmental Reserves. See the section entitled Property & Casualty Other Operations, Annual Reserve Reviews about the

impact that the A&E ADC retroactive reinsurance agreement with NICO has on net reserve changes of asbestos and environmental reserves.

Employee Benefit LTD Reserves, Net of Reinsurance

The Company establishes reserves for group life and accident & health contracts, including long-term disability coverage, for both reported claims and claims related to insured events that the Company estimates have been incurred but have not yet been reported. As long-term disability reserves are long-tail claim liabilities, they are discounted because the payment pattern and the ultimate costs are reasonably fixed and determinable on an individual claim basis. The Company held $6,592 and $6,609 of LTD unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Reserving Methodology**

**How Reserves are Set -** A Disabled Life Reserve ("DLR") is calculated for each LTD claim. The DLR for each claim is the expected present value of all future benefit payments starting with the known monthly gross benefit which is reduced for estimates of the expected claim recovery due to return to work or claimant death, offsets from other income including offsets from Social Security benefits, and discounting, where the discount rate is tied to expected investment yield at the time the claim is incurred. Estimated future benefit payments represent the monthly income benefit that is paid until recovery, death or expiration of benefits. Claim recoveries are estimated based on claim characteristics such as age and diagnosis and represent an estimate of benefits that will terminate, generally as a result of the claimant returning to work or being deemed able to return to work. For claims recently closed due to recovery, a portion of the DLR is retained for the possibility that the claim reopens upon further evidence of disability. In addition, a reserve for estimated unpaid claim expenses is included in the DLR.

The DLR also includes a liability for potential payments to pending claimants beyond the elimination period who have not yet been approved for LTD. In these cases, the present value of future benefits is reduced for the likelihood of claim denial based on Company experience.

Estimates for IBNR claims are made by applying completion factors to expected emerged experience by line of business. Included within IBNR are bulk reserves for claims reported but still within the waiting period until benefits are paid, typically 3 or 6 months depending on the contract. Completion factors are derived from standard actuarial techniques using triangles that display historical claim count emergence by incurral month. These estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and are adjusted for current trends and other factors expected to cause a change in claim emergence. The reserves include an estimate of unpaid claim expenses, including a provision for the cost of initial set-up of the claim once reported.

For all products, including LTD, there is a period generally ranging from two to twelve months, depending on the product and line of business, where emerged claims for an incurral year are not yet credible enough to be a basis for estimating reserves. In these cases, the ultimate loss is estimated using earned premium multiplied by an expected loss ratio based on

pricing assumptions of claim incidence, claim severity, and earned pricing adjusted for emerging trends as needed.

**Impact of Key Assumptions on Reserves**

The key assumptions affecting long-term disability, which is the largest reserve within Employee Benefits, include:

**Discount Rate -** The discount rate is the interest rate at which expected future claim cash flows are discounted to determine the present value. A higher selected discount rate results in a lower reserve. If the discount rate is higher than our future investment returns, our invested assets will not earn enough investment income to cover the discount accretion on our claim reserves which would negatively affect our profits. For each incurral year, the discount rates are estimated based on investment yields expected to be earned net of investment expenses. The incurral year is the year in which the claim is incurred and the estimated settlement pattern is determined. Once established, discount rates for each incurral year are unchanged except that LTD reserves assumed from the acquisition of Aetna's U.S. group life and disability business are all discounted using rates as of the November 1, 2017 acquisition date. The weighted average discount rates on LTD reserves were 3.5% and 3.3% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Had the discount rate for each incurral year been 10 basis points lower at the time they were established, our LTD unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves would be higher by $28, before tax, as of December 31, 2025.

**Claim Termination Rates (inclusive of mortality, recoveries, and expiration of benefits) -** Claim termination rates are an estimate of the rate at which claimants will cease receiving benefits during a given calendar year. Terminations result from a number of factors, including death, recoveries and expiration of benefits. The probability that benefits will terminate in each future month for each claim is estimated using a predictive model that uses past Company experience, contract provisions, job characteristics and other claimant-specific characteristics such as diagnosis, time since disability began, and age. Actual claim termination experience will vary from period to period. Over the past 10 years, claim termination rates for a single incurral year have generally increased and have ranged from 7% below to 7% above current assumptions over that time period. For a single recent incurral year (such as 2025), a one percent decrease in our assumption for LTD claim termination rates would increase our reserves by $13. For all incurral years combined, as of December 31, 2025, a one percent decrease in our assumption for our LTD claim termination rates would increase our Employee Benefits unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense reserves by $29.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Current Trends Contributing to Reserve Uncertainty**

We have observed delays in the Social Security Administration's processing of disability claims, which reduces or slows down the recognition of offsets to claimant benefits. If we have a downturn in the economy and/or in employment levels, we could experience an increase in claim incidence on long-term disability claims.

By investing in fixed income securities of similar duration to our liabilities, we hedge our interest rate exposure over a three year period at the time we price and sell long-term disability policies given average three year rate guarantees. Our discount rate assumption for the 2025 incurral year is up from that of the 2024 incurral year.

Evaluation of Goodwill for Impairment

Goodwill balances are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that a triggering event for a potential impairment has occurred. The recognition and measurement of goodwill impairment is based on the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its estimated fair value, up to the amount of the reporting unit's goodwill.

The estimated fair value of each reporting unit incorporates multiple inputs into discounted cash flow calculations including assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the reporting unit. Assumptions include levels of economic capital, future business growth, earnings projections, assets under management for Hartford Funds and the weighted average cost of capital used for purposes of discounting. Decreases in business growth, decreases in earnings projections and increases in the weighted average cost of capital will all cause a

reporting unit's fair value to decrease, increasing the possibility of impairment.

A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company's reporting units to which goodwill has been allocated consist of Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Employee Benefits and Hartford Funds.

The annual goodwill assessment for all reporting units was completed as of October 31, 2025, and resulted in no write-downs of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2025. All reporting units passed the annual impairment test with a significant margin. For information on goodwill see Note 9 - Goodwill & Other Intangible Assets of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of Investments and Derivative Instruments

**Fixed Maturities, Equity Securities, Short-term Investments, and Derivatives**

The Company generally determines fair values using valuation techniques that use prices, rates, and other relevant information evident from market transactions involving identical or similar instruments. Valuation techniques also include, where appropriate, estimates of future cash flows that are converted into a single discounted amount using current market expectations. The Company uses a "waterfall" approach comprised of the following pricing sources which are listed in priority order: quoted prices, prices from third-party pricing services, internal matrix pricing, and independent broker quotes. The fair values of derivative instruments are determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model or option model technique and incorporate counterparty credit risk. In some cases, quoted market prices for exchange-traded transactions and transactions cleared through central clearing houses ("OTC-cleared") may be used and in other cases independent broker quotes may be used. For further discussion, see the Fixed Maturities, Equity Securities, Short-term Investments, and

Derivatives section in Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Evaluation of Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and ACL on Mortgage Loans**

Each quarter, a committee of investment and accounting professionals evaluates investments to determine if a credit loss is present for fixed maturities, AFS or an ACL is required for mortgage loans. This evaluation is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties. For further discussion of the accounting policies, see the Significant Accounting Policies Section in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of credit losses recorded, see the Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Intent-to-Sell Impairments and ACL on Mortgage Loans sections within the Investment Portfolio Risk section of the MD&A.

Contingencies Relating to Corporate Litigation and Regulatory Matters

Management evaluates each contingent matter separately. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. Management establishes reserves for these contingencies at its "best estimate," or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of the range of losses.The Company has a quarterly monitoring process involving legal and accounting professionals. Legal personnel first identify outstanding corporate litigation and regulatory matters posing a reasonable possibility of loss. These matters are then jointly reviewed by accounting and legal personnel to evaluate the facts and changes since the last review in order to determine if a

provision for loss should be recorded or adjusted, the amount that should be recorded, and the appropriate disclosure. The outcomes of certain contingencies currently being evaluated by the Company, which relate to corporate litigation and regulatory matters, are inherently difficult to predict, and the reserves that have been established for the estimated settlement amounts are subject to significant changes. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of the Company. In view of the uncertainties regarding the outcome of these matters, as well as the tax-deductibility of payments, it is possible that the ultimate cost to the Company of these matters could exceed the reserve by an amount that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or liquidity in a particular quarterly or annual period.

**Underwriting Gain**![1343](hig-20251231_g27.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024** 

**Underwriting gain** increased due to the effect of earned premium growth, higher favorable prior accident year development, and lower CAY catastrophe losses. These favorable impacts were partially offset by a modestly higher underlying loss and LAE ratio.

**Expense ratio** increased slightly as higher staffing costs, including higher incentive compensation and benefits costs, higher commissions, higher technology costs and an increase in doubtful accounts were largely offset by the impact of higher earned premium.

**Written premiums** increased driven by growth across small business, middle & large business and global specialty.

• Small business written premium increased driven by strong new business as well as renewal written price increases in almost all lines. Written premium grew across all lines of business.

• Middle & large business written premium increased driven by strong new business as well as renewal written price increases in all lines. Written premium grew across most of general industries, industry verticals and the large and complex lines.

• Global specialty written premium, excluding global reinsurance, increased driven by written price increases across most lines as well as an increase in gross new business. Written premiums grew in global reinsurance, primarily in credit risk, property, and specialty casualty.

**Renewal written price** increases were recognized in most lines.

• In small business, renewal written price increases were lower than prior year levels overall, with mid single-digit to low double-digit price increases across most lines. Workers' compensation pricing was flat.

• In middle market, renewal written price increases were lower than prior year levels overall, with mid single-digit to low double-digit price increases in most lines. Workers' compensation pricing was slightly positive.

• In global specialty, renewal written price increases were lower than prior year levels with mid single-digit price increases overall.

Current accident year catastrophe losses for 2024 included losses from tornado, wind and hail events across several regions of the United States, as well as hurricanes and tropical storms primarily in the Southeast and South regions, and, to a lesser extent, winter storms mainly in the Pacific, Northeast and South regions.

**Prior accident year development** was net favorable for 2025 and included reserve decreases for workers' compensation, bond, catastrophes and commercial property. Also included is a benefit of $64 related to amortization of the Navigators ADC deferred gain. As of September 30, 2025 the deferred gain on the Navigators ADC has been fully amortized. For additional information regarding the ADC reinsurance agreement, refer to Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Prior accident year development was net favorable for 2024 and included reserve decreases for workers' compensation, catastrophes, bond and professional liability, partially offset by reserve increases for general liability, automobile liability and assumed reinsurance. Also included is a benefit of $145 related to amortization of the Navigators ADC deferred gain.

**2026 Outlook**

We expect an increasingly competitive market within Business Insurance during 2026. However, we continue to expect growth in written premium and an increase in market share while generating profitable margins.

**Net Income (Loss)**![739](hig-20251231_g32.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Net income** increased, largely driven by improved underwriting results.

**Underwriting Gain (Loss)**

![956](hig-20251231_g33.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Underwriting gain** increased, primarily due to the effect of an increase in earned premium due to renewal price increases and more favorable prior accident year development, partially offset by higher current accident year catastrophe losses.

**Expense ratio** was flat due to the effect of an increase in earned premium due to renewal written price increases, offset by an increase in technology costs, higher staffing costs including incentive compensation, and higher marketing expenses, as well as a higher commission ratio due to business mix.

**Written Premiums**

![1667](hig-20251231_g35.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Earned premiums** increased in 2025 primarily due to higher written premium over the prior twelve months in homeowners and earned pricing increases in automobile.

**Written premiums** increased in 2025 driven by the effect of written pricing increases and by an increase in new business premium in homeowners.

**Renewal written pricing** moderated for both automobile and homeowners, primarily in response to moderating loss cost trends.

**Effective policy count retention** was relatively stable for both automobile and homeowners in 2025, in response to moderating renewal written pricing increases.

**Policies in-force** as of the end of 2025 declined since 2024 for automobile and increased slightly for homeowners, reflecting the level of new business in relation to non-renewed policies.

**Underlying Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio**

![2690](hig-20251231_g36.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Underlying loss and LAE ratio** decreased in both automobile and homeowners in 2025. The decrease in automobile was primarily due to the impact of earned pricing increases, partially offset by higher loss costs. The higher loss costs in automobile were driven by higher physical damage and liability claim severities, partially offset by lower physical damage claim frequency. The automobile claim severity trend has moderated from the prior year. The automobile liability severity trend continues to recognize inflationary effects and higher attorney representation rates on bodily injury claims. For homeowners, the decrease in the underlying loss and LAE ratio was primarily due to the impact of earned pricing increases as well as lower claim frequency, partially offset by higher claim severities. Contributing to the higher homeowners severity was the effect of higher rebuilding costs.

**Current Accident Year Catastrophes and Unfavorable (Favorable) Prior Accident Year Development**

![3632](hig-20251231_g37.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Current accident year catastrophe losses** increased in 2025 compared to the prior year. CAY catastrophe losses for 2025 included losses from tornado, wind and hail events across several regions, but concentrated in the South and Midwest regions, and to a lesser extent, in the Mountain West region, as well as a loss of $111 from the January 2025 California Wildfire Event. Current accident year catastrophe losses for 2024 included losses from tornado, wind and hail events in several regions of the United States, and to a lesser extent, from hurricanes and tropical storms primarily in the Southeast region.

**Prior accident year development** was favorable in 2025, primarily driven by lower estimated severity on automobile liability, homeowners, automobile physical damage, as well as decreases in reserves related to catastrophes. Prior accident year development was favorable for 2024, primarily driven by lower estimated severity on automobile physical damage, automobile liability, and homeowners, as well as decreases in reserves related to catastrophes.

**2026 Outlook**

In 2026, the Company expects written premium growth primarily from renewal written pricing increases in both automobile and homeowners. We expect 2026 annual written pricing increases in both automobile and homeowners to moderate compared to 2025 results, and remain in line with loss cost trends. Retention is expected to improve as written pricing moderates, while we expect the continued rollout of Prevail in the agency channel to generate growth in agency new business policies.

**Net Loss**![441](hig-20251231_g38.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Net loss** decreased due to lower underwriting losses as well as lower other expenses resulting from one-time contract settlement charge on a claims servicing agreement recorded in the 2024 period.

**Underwriting loss** decreased due to a decrease in unfavorable prior accident year reserve development.

Unfavorable prior accident year reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to a $165 increase in A&E reserves and a $31 increase in related ULAE reserves. Unfavorable prior accident year reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a $203 increase in A&E reserves and a $28 increase in related ULAE reserves.

**Asbestos reserves** prior accident year development in 2025 of $122 was primarily due to higher-than-expected frequency, an increase in claim settlement rates, and higher settlement values for a subset of accounts.

**Environmental reserves** prior accident year development in 2025 of $43 was primarily due to higher environmental site cleanup and monitoring costs and higher legal expenses.

**Net Income**![437](hig-20251231_g39.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Net income** decreased primarily due to a higher group disability loss ratio, an increase in the expense ratio and higher net realized losses, partially offset by a lower group life loss ratio and higher net investment income.

**Insurance operating costs and other expenses** were higher due to higher staffing costs, including increased incentive compensation and benefits and higher technology costs, including increased investment.

**Fully Insured Ongoing Premiums**

![1045](hig-20251231_g40.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Fully insured ongoing premiums** was up slightly as an increase in exposure on existing accounts was largely offset by lower fully insured ongoing sales during the past year.

**Fully insured ongoing sales** decreased compared to prior year driven by lower sales of the paid family and medical leave product and fewer large case sales.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Ratios**

![1424](hig-20251231_g41.jpg)

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Loss ratio** improved 0.2 points in 2025 compared to the prior year period. The group life loss ratio decreased 2.4 points driven by lower mortality across both term and accidental life products. The group disability loss ratio increased 1.6 points due to higher short-term and long-term disability loss trends as well as the prior year update to the long-term disability claim recovery rate reserve assumptions, which reduced the prior year loss ratio by 0.5 points, partially offset by paid family and medical leave product pricing actions.

**Expense ratio** increased primarily due to higher staffing costs, including increased incentive compensation and benefits and higher technology costs, including increased investment.

**2026 Outlook**

The Company expects growth in fully insured ongoing premiums in 2026 due to sales and continued strong book persistency. The level of long-term disability incidence and recoveries will impact the group disability loss ratio. The 2025 group life loss ratio benefited from favorable mortality which is not expected to repeat in 2026. We expect the long-term net income margin outlook for this business to be approximately 6% to 7%.

**Enterprise Risk Management**

The Company's Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for risk oversight, as described more fully in our Proxy Statement, while management is tasked with the day-to-day management of the Company's risks.The Company manages and monitors risk through risk policies, controls and limits. At the senior management level, an Enterprise Risk and Capital Committee oversees the risk profile and risk management practices of the Company. As illustrated below, a number of functional committees sit underneath the ERCC, providing oversight of specific risk areas and recommending risk mitigation strategies to the ERCC.

---

The Company's enterprise risk management ("ERM") function supports the ERCC and functional committees, and is tasked with, among other things:

• risk identification and assessment;

• the development of risk appetites, tolerances, and limits;

• risk monitoring; and

• internal and external risk reporting.

The Company categorizes its main risks as insurance risk, operational risk and financial risk, each of which is described in more detail below.

Insurance Risk

Insurance risk is the risk of losses of both a catastrophic and non-catastrophic nature on the P&C and Employee Benefits products the Company has sold. Catastrophe insurance risk is the exposure arising from both natural catastrophes (e.g., weather, earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics) and man-made catastrophes (e.g., terrorism, cyber-attacks) that create a concentration or aggregation of loss across the Company's insurance or asset portfolios.

**Sources of Insurance Risk** Non-catastrophe insurance risks exist within each of the Company's segments except Hartford Funds and include:

• **Property-** Risk of loss to personal or commercial property from automobile related accidents, weather, explosions, smoke, shaking, fire, theft, vandalism, inadequate installation, faulty equipment, collisions and falling objects, and/or machinery mechanical breakdown resulting in physical damage, losses from PV&T and other covered perils.

• **Liability-** Risk of loss from automobile related accidents, uninsured and under-insured drivers, lawsuits from accidents, defective products, breach of warranty, negligent acts by professional practitioners, environmental claims, latent exposures, fraud, coercion, forgery, failure to fulfill obligations per contract surety, liability from errors and omissions, losses from CPRI coverages, losses from derivative lawsuits, and other securities actions and covered perils.

• **Mortality-** Risk of loss from unexpected trends in insured deaths impacting timing of payouts from group life insurance, personal or commercial automobile related accidents, and death of employees or executives during the course of employment, while on disability, or while collecting workers compensation benefits.

• **Morbidity-** Risk of loss to an insured from illness incurred during the course of employment or illness from other covered perils.

• **Disability-** Risk of loss incurred from personal or commercial automobile related losses, accidents arising outside of the workplace, injuries or accidents incurred

during the course of employment, or from equipment, with each loss resulting in short-term or long-term disability payments.

• **Longevity-** Risk of loss from increased life expectancy trends among policyholders receiving long-term benefit payments.

• **Cyber Insurance**- Risk of loss to property, breach of data and business interruption from various types of cyber-attacks.

Catastrophe risk primarily arises in the property, automobile, workers' compensation, casualty, group life, and group disability lines of business but could also arise from other coverages such as losses under PV&T and CPRI policies. See the term Current Accident Year Catastrophe Ratio within the Key Performance Measures and Ratios section of MD&A for an explanation of how the Company defines catastrophe losses in its financial reporting.

**Impact** Non-catastrophe insurance risk can arise from unexpected loss experience, underpriced business and/or underestimation of loss reserves and can have significant effects on the Company's earnings. Catastrophe insurance risk can arise from various unpredictable events and can have significant effects on the Company's earnings and may result in losses that could constrain its liquidity.

**Management** The Company's policies and procedures for managing these risks include disciplined underwriting protocols, exposure controls, sophisticated risk-based pricing, risk modeling, risk transfer, and capital management strategies. The Company has established underwriting guidelines for both individual risks, including individual policy limits, and risks in the

aggregate, including aggregate exposure limits by geographic zone and peril. The Company uses both internal and third-party models to estimate the potential loss resulting from various catastrophe events and the potential financial impact those events would have on the Company's financial position and results of operations across its businesses.

The Hartford closely monitors scientific literature on climate change to help identify climate change risks impacting our business. We use data from the scientific community and other outside experts including partnerships with third-party catastrophe modeling firms to inform our risk management activities and stay abreast of potential implications of climate-related impacts that we incorporate into our risk assessment. We regularly study these climate change implications and incorporate these risks into our catastrophe risk assessment and management strategy through product pricing, underwriting and management of aggregate risk to manage implications of severe weather and climate change in our insurance portfolio.

In addition, certain insurance products offered by The Hartford provide coverage for losses incurred due to cyber events and the Company has assessed and modeled how those products would respond to different events in order to manage its aggregate exposure to losses incurred under the insurance policies we sell. The Company models numerous deterministic scenarios including losses caused by malware, data breach, distributed denial of service attacks, intrusions of cloud environments and attacks of power grids.

Among specific risk tolerances set by the Company, risk limits are set for natural catastrophes, terrorism risk and pandemic risk.

*[1]For U.S. insurance subsidiaries, reported capital and surplus is equal to actual U.S. statutory capital and surplus. For Navigators insurers in non-U.S. jurisdictions, reported capital and surplus is equal to U.S. GAAP equity of those subsidiaries less certain assets such as goodwill and other intangible assets.*

*[2]The loss estimates represent total property modeled losses for hurricane single occurrence events, property and workers' compensation modeled losses for earthquake single occurrence events, and modeled aggregate annual losses for natural catastrophes from all perils (hurricane, flood, earthquake, hail, tornado, wildfire and winter storms). The net loss estimates provided assume that the Company is able to recover all losses ceded to reinsurers under its reinsurance programs. The Company also manages natural catastrophe risk for group life and group disability, which in combination with property and workers compensation loss estimates are subject to separate enterprise risk management net aggregate loss limits as a percent of enterprise surplus.*

*[3]The modeled probability of loss exceedance represents the likelihood of a loss from single peril occurrence or from an aggregate of catastrophe events from all perils to exceed the indicated amount in a one-year time frame.*

**Reinsurance as a Risk Management Strategy**

The Company uses reinsurance to transfer certain risks to reinsurance companies based on specific geographic or risk concentrations. A variety of traditional reinsurance products are used as part of the Company's risk management strategy, including excess of loss occurrence-based products that reinsure property and workers' compensation exposures, and individual risk (including facultative reinsurance) or quota share arrangements, that reinsure losses from specific classes or lines of business. The Company has no significant finite risk contracts in place and the statutory surplus benefit from all such prior year

contracts is immaterial. The Hartford also participates in governmentally administered reinsurance facilities such as the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund ("FHCF"), the TRIPRA and other reinsurance programs relating to particular risks or specific lines of business.

Reinsurance for Catastrophes- The Company utilizes various reinsurance programs to mitigate catastrophe losses including excess of loss occurrence-based treaties covering property and workers' compensation, a catastrophe bond, an aggregate property catastrophe treaty, and individual risk agreements (including facultative reinsurance) that reinsure losses from

The aggregate property catastrophe treaty covers the aggregate losses of catastrophe events (up to $350 per event) designated by the Property Claim Services office of Verisk and, for international business, net losses arising from two or more risks involved in the same loss occurrence totaling at least $500 thousand, in excess of a $750 retention. The occurrence-based property catastrophe treaty responds in excess of $200 per occurrence for all perils other than earthquakes and named hurricanes and tropical storms.For earthquakes and named tropical storms the occurrence based property treaty responds in excess of $350 per occurrence. The occurrence property catastrophe treaty and workers' compensation catastrophe treaties beginning with the January 1, 2021 renewal do not cover pandemic losses, as most industry reinsurance programs exclude communicable disease. The Company has reinsurance in place to cover individual group life losses in excess of $1.25 per person.

*[1]These agreements do not cover the assumed reinsurance business which purchases its own retrocessional coverage.*

*[2]In addition to the Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty, for Florida homeowners wind events, The Hartford has purchased the mandatory FHCF reinsurance for the annual period starting June 1, 2025. Retention and coverage varies by writing company. For the 2025 - 2026 period, the writing company with the largest coverage under FHCF is Hartford Insurance Company of the Midwest, with coverage of $37 in per event losses in excess of a $23 retention (estimates are based on best available information at this time and are periodically updated as information is made available by Florida).*

*[3]Named hurricanes and tropical storms are defined as any storm or storm system declared to be a hurricane or tropical storm by the US National Hurricane Center, US Weather Prediction Center, or their successor organizations (being divisions of the US National Weather Service).*

*[7]The aggregate treaty is not limited to a single event; rather, it is designed to provide reinsurance protection for the aggregate of all catastrophe events (up to $350 per event), either designated by the Property Claim Services office of Verisk or, for international business, net losses arising from two or more risks involved in the same loss occurrence totaling at least $500 thousand. All catastrophe losses, except assumed reinsurance business losses, apply toward satisfying the $750 attachment point under the aggregate treaty.*

*[8]In addition to the limits shown, the workers' compensation reinsurance includes a non-catastrophe, industrial accident layer, providing coverage for 80% of $25 in per event losses in excess of a $25 retention.*

In addition to the property catastrophe reinsurance coverage described in the above table, the Company has other reinsurance agreements that cover property catastrophe losses, some of which provide for reinstatement of limits in the event of loss with reinstatement provisions varying depending on the layer of coverage. The Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty and Workers' Compensation Catastrophe Treaty include a provision to reinstate one limit in the event that a catastrophe loss exhausts limits on one or more layers under the treaties. Catastrophe Bonds- The Company has property catastrophe protection in the form of catastrophe bonds issued through indemnity agreements with Foundation Re IV Ltd. ("Foundation Re IV"), an independent Bermuda company registered as a special purpose insurer under the Bermuda Insurance Act of 1978 and related rules and regulations. The agreements provide fully collateralized loss coverage on the Company's commercial and personal property and automobile physical damage in all 50 states of the United States of America, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico from tropical cyclone and earthquake events.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company has two reinsurance agreements with Foundation Re IV. The first agreement, which originally incepted January 1, 2024, provides indemnity per occurrence excess of loss coverage of 60.79% of $329 in excess of $1.29 billion for the treaty term effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The second agreement incepted January 1, 2026 and provides indemnity per occurrence excess of loss coverage of 90% of $300 in excess of $1.6 billion for the treaty term effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2029. The attachment point and maximum limit under these agreements are reset annually to adjust the expected loss of the layer within a predetermined range. The Company has not incurred any losses that have resulted in or are expected to result in a recovery under the reinsurance agreements with Foundation Re IV since their inception.

Under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, the Company is obligated to pay annual reinsurance premiums to Foundation Re IV for the reinsurance coverage. Amounts payable to the Company under the reinsurance agreements with respect to any covered event cannot exceed the Company's actual losses from such event. The principal amount of the catastrophe bonds will be reduced by any amounts paid to the Company under the reinsurance agreements.

The reinsurance agreements meet the requirements to be accounted for as reinsurance in accordance with the guidance for reinsurance contracts. In connection with the reinsurance agreements, Foundation Re IV issued $200 and $270, respectively, in notes (generally referred to as "catastrophe bonds") to investors in amounts equal to the full coverage provided under the reinsurance agreements. The proceeds of the issuances were deposited in a reinsurance trust account.

As with any reinsurance agreement, there is credit risk associated with collecting amounts due from reinsurers. Foundation Re IV's credit risk is mitigated by a reinsurance trust account that has been funded by Foundation Re IV with money market funds that invest solely in direct government obligations and obligations backed by the U.S. government. The money market funds must have the highest principal stability ratings from S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") on the issuance date of the bonds and thereafter must be rated by S&P or Moody's, as applicable. Other permissible investments include money market funds which invest in repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by direct government obligations and obligations of any agency backed by the U.S. government with terms of no more than 397 calendar days, and cash.

At the time the agreements were entered into with Foundation Re IV, the Company evaluated the applicability of the accounting guidance that addresses variable interest entities ("VIEs") and concluded that it was a VIE. However, while Foundation Re IV was determined to be a VIE, the Company concluded that it did not have a variable interest in the entity, as the variability in its results, caused by the reinsurance agreements, are expected to be absorbed entirely by the investors in the catastrophe bonds issued by Foundation Re IV and residual amounts earned by it, if any, are expected to be absorbed by the equity investor (the Company has neither an equity nor a residual interest in Foundation Re IV).

Accordingly, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Foundation Re IV and does not consolidate that entity in the

Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, because the Company has no intention to pursue any transaction that would result in it acquiring interest in and becoming the primary beneficiary of Foundation Re IV, the consolidation of that entity in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods is unlikely.

Reinsurance for Terrorism- For the risk of terrorism, private sector catastrophe reinsurance capacity is generally limited and largely unavailable for terrorism losses caused by nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks. As such, the Company's principal reinsurance protection against large-scale terrorist attacks is the coverage currently provided through TRIPRA to the end of 2027.

TRIPRA provides a backstop for insurance-related losses resulting from any "act of terrorism", which is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General, for losses that exceed a threshold of industry losses of $200. Under the program, in any one calendar year, the federal government will pay a percentage of losses incurred from a certified act of terrorism after an insurer's losses exceed 20% of the Company's eligible direct commercial earned premiums of the prior calendar year up to a combined annual aggregate limit for the federal government and all insurers of $100 billion. The federal government pays 80% of the losses. The Company's estimated deductible under the program is $2.4 billion for 2026. If an act of terrorism or acts of terrorism result in covered losses exceeding the $100 billion annual industry aggregate limit, Congress would be responsible for determining how additional losses in excess of $100 billion will be paid.

Reinsurance for A&E and Navigators Group Reserve Development **-** The Company has two ADC reinsurance agreements in place, both of which are accounted for as retroactive reinsurance. One agreement covered substantially all A&E reserve development for 2016 and prior accident years (the "A&E ADC") up to an aggregate limit of $1.5 billion and the other covered substantially all reserve development of Navigators Insurance Company ("NIC") and certain of its affiliates for 2018 and prior accident years (the "Navigators ADC") up to an aggregate limit of $300. As the Company has ceded all of the $300 and $1.5 billion available limits under the Navigators ADC and the A&E ADC; respectively, there is no remaining limit available under either agreement as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has paid A&E ADC claims in excess of the $1.7 billion attachment point. The Company will amortize the deferred gain into income as recoveries are received. During 2024 and 2025, the Company collected recoveries from NICO under the Navigators ADC and as a result amortized $145 and $64 of the $209 deferred gain within benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the deferred gain on the Navigators ADC has been fully amortized and the limit fully collected. As of December 31, 2024, the deferred gain on the Navigators ADC was $64, and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information on the A&E ADC and the Navigators ADC, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 10, Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Reinsurance Recoverables**

Property and Casualty insurance product reinsurance recoverables represent loss and loss adjustment expense recoverables from a number of entities, including reinsurers and pools. A portion of the total gross reinsurance recoverables balance relates to the Company's participation in various mandatory (assigned) and involuntary risk pools and the value of annuity contracts held under structured settlement agreements.

Employee Benefits and Corporate reinsurance recoverables represent reserves for future policy benefits and unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and other policyholder funds and benefits payable that are recoverable from a number of reinsurers.

The table below shows the gross and net reinsurance recoverables reported in the Property and Casualty and Employee Benefits reportable segments as well as Corporate.

To manage reinsurer credit risk, a reinsurance security review committee evaluates the credit standing, financial performance, management and operational quality of each potential reinsurer.

In placing reinsurance, the Company considers the nature of the risk reinsured, including the expected liability payout duration, and establishes limits tiered by reinsurer credit rating. Where its contracts permit, the Company secures future claim obligations

with various forms of collateral or other credit enhancement, including irrevocable letters of credit, secured trusts, funds held accounts and group wide offsets. As part of its reinsurance recoverable review, the Company analyzes recent developments in commutation activity between reinsurers and cedants, recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes between cedants and reinsurers and the overall credit quality of the Company's reinsurers. For further discussion on reinsurance recoverables, including details of recoverables by AM Best credit rating, see Note 8 – Reinsurance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annually, the Company completes evaluations of the reinsurance recoverable asset associated with older, long-term casualty liabilities reported in the Property & Casualty Other Operations reportable segment and the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance reported in the Business Insurance and Employee Benefits reportable segments as well as the Corporate category. For a discussion regarding the results of the evaluation of older, long-term casualty liabilities reported in the Property & Casualty Other Operations reportable segment, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance. For a discussion of the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, see Note 8 – Reinsurance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Guaranty Funds and Other Insurance-related Assessments**

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company regularly monitors the financial strength of other insurers and, in particular, activity by insurance regulators and various state guaranty associations in the U.S. relating to troubled insurers. In all states, insurers licensed to transact certain classes of insurance are required to become members of a guaranty fund.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, human error, or from external events.

**Sources of Operational Risk** Operational risk is inherent in the Company's business and functional areas. Operational risks include: compliance with laws and regulations, cybersecurity, business disruption, technology failure, inadequate execution or process management, reliance on model and data analytics, internal fraud, external fraud, third party dependency and attraction and retention of talent.

**Impact** Operational risk can result in financial loss, disruption of our business, regulatory actions or damage to our reputation.

**Management** Responsibility for day-to-day management of operational risk lies within each business unit and functional area. ERM provides an enterprise-wide view of the Company's operational risk on an aggregate basis. ERM is responsible for establishing, maintaining and communicating the framework, principles and guidelines of the Company's operational risk management program. Operational risk mitigation strategies include the following:

• Establishing policies and monitoring risk tolerances and exceptions;

• Conducting business risk assessments and implementing action plans where necessary;

• Validating existing crisis management protocols;

• Identifying and monitoring emerging operational risks; and

• Purchasing insurance coverage.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Cybersecurity Risk**

For information on the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents, see Part I, Item 1C – Cybersecurity.

Financial Risk

Financial risks include direct and indirect risks to the Company's financial objectives from events that impact financial market conditions and the value of financial assets. Some events may cause correlated movement in multiple risk factors. The primary sources of financial risks are the Company's invested assets.

Consistent with its risk appetite, the Company establishes financial risk limits to control potential loss on a U.S. GAAP, statutory, and economic basis. Exposures are actively monitored and managed, with risks mitigated where appropriate. The Company uses various risk management strategies, including limiting aggregation of risk, portfolio re-balancing and hedging with OTC and exchange-traded derivatives with counterparties meeting the appropriate regulatory and due diligence requirements. Derivatives may be used to achieve the following Company-approved objectives: (1) hedging risk arising from interest rate, equity market, credit spread and issuer default, price or currency exchange rate risk or volatility; (2) managing liquidity; (3) controlling transaction costs; and (4) engaging in income generation covered call transactions and synthetic replication transactions. Derivative activities are monitored and evaluated by the Company's compliance and risk management teams and reviewed by senior management. The Company identifies different categories of financial risk, including liquidity, credit, interest rate, equity, and foreign currency exchange.

**Liquidity Risk**

Liquidity risk is the risk to current or prospective earnings or capital arising from the Company's inability or perceived inability to meet its contractual funding obligations as they come due.

**Sources of Liquidity Risk** Sources of liquidity risk include funding risk, company-specific liquidity risk and market liquidity risk resulting from differences in the amount and timing of sources and uses of cash as well as company-specific and general market conditions. Stressed market conditions may impact the ability to sell assets or otherwise transact business and may result in a significant loss in value of the investment portfolio.

**Impact** Inadequate capital resources and liquidity could negatively affect the Company's overall financial strength and its ability to generate cash flows from its businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates, and raise new capital to meet operating and growth needs.

**Management** The Company has defined ongoing monitoring and reporting requirements to assess liquidity across the enterprise under both current and stressed market conditions. The Company measures and manages liquidity risk exposures and funding needs within prescribed limits across legal entities, taking into account legal, regulatory and operational limitations to the transferability of liquid assets among legal entities. The Company also monitors internal and external conditions, and identifies material risk changes and

emerging risks that may impact operating cash flows or liquid assets. The liquidity requirements of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. ("HIG Holding Company") have been and will continue to be met by the HIG Holding Company's fixed maturities, short-term investments and cash, and dividends from its subsidiaries, principally from its insurance operations, as well as the issuance of common stock, debt or other capital securities and borrowings from its credit facilities as needed. The Company maintains multiple sources of contingent liquidity including a revolving credit facility, an intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HIG Holding Company and certain affiliates, and access to collateralized advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") for certain affiliates. The Company's CFO has primary responsibility for liquidity risk.

**Credit Risk and Counterparty Risk**

Credit risk is the risk to earnings or capital due to uncertainty of an obligor's or counterparty's ability or willingness to meet its obligations in accordance with contractually agreed upon terms. Credit risk is comprised of three major factors: the risk of change in credit quality, or credit migration risk; the risk of default; and the risk of a change in value due to changes in credit spreads.

**Sources of Credit Risk** The majority of the Company's credit risk is concentrated in its investment holdings and use of derivatives, but it is also present in the Company's ceded reinsurance activities, bond insurance, and certain aspects of Business Insurance products.

**Impact** A decline in creditworthiness is typically reflected as an increase in an investment's credit spread and an associated decline in the investment's fair value, potentially resulting in recording an ACL and an increased probability of a realized loss upon sale. In certain instances, counterparties may default on their obligations and the Company may realize a loss on default. Premiums receivable, including premiums for retrospectively rated plans, reinsurance recoverable and deductible losses recoverable are also subject to credit risk based on the counterparty's inability to pay.

**Management** The objective of the Company's enterprise credit risk management strategy is to identify, quantify, and manage credit risk in aggregate and to limit potential losses in accordance with the Company's credit risk management policy. The Company manages its credit risk by managing aggregations of risk, holding a diversified mix of issuers and counterparties across its investment, reinsurance, and insurance portfolios, and limiting exposure to any specific reinsurer or counterparty. Potential credit losses can be mitigated through diversification (e.g., geographic regions, asset types, industry sectors), hedging and the use of collateral to reduce net credit exposure.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company manages credit risk through the use of various surveillance, analyses and governance processes. The investment and reinsurance areas have formal policies and procedures for counterparty approvals and authorizations, which establish criteria defining minimum levels of creditworthiness and financial stability for eligible counterparties. Potential investments are subject to underwriting reviews and management approval. Mitigation strategies vary across the three sources of credit risk, but may include:

• Investing in a portfolio of high-quality and diverse securities;

• Selling investments subject to heightened credit risk;

• Hedging through use of credit default swaps;

• Clearing derivative transactions through central clearing houses that require daily variation margin;

• Entering into derivative and reinsurance contracts only with strong creditworthy institutions;

• Requiring collateral; and

• Non-renewing policies/contracts or reinsurance treaties.

The Company has developed credit exposure thresholds which are based upon counterparty ratings. Aggregate counterparty credit quality and exposure are monitored on a daily basis utilizing an enterprise-wide credit exposure information system that contains data on issuers, ratings, exposures, and credit limits. Exposures are tracked on a current and potential basis and aggregated by ultimate parent of the counterparty across investments, reinsurance receivables, insurance products with credit risk, and derivatives.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no investment exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer or counterparty greater than 10% of the Company's stockholders' equity, other than the U.S. government and certain U.S. government agencies. For further discussion of concentration of credit risk in the investment portfolio, see the Concentration of Credit Risk section in Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Assets and Liabilities Subject to Credit Risk**

**Investments** Essentially all of the Company's invested assets are subject to credit risk. In 2025, there were net credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS of $0 and a net credit loss on mortgage loans of $6. In 2024, there were net credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS of $2 and a net credit loss reversal on mortgage loans of $3. Refer to the Investment Portfolio Risk section of Financial Risk Management under "Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Intent-to-Sell Impairments" and "ACL on Mortgage Loans".

**Reinsurance recoverables** Reinsurance recoverables, net of an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, were $7,191 and $7,140 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. Refer to the Enterprise Risk Management section of the MD&A under "Reinsurance as a Risk Management Strategy".

**Bond insurance** The Company collects premiums and holds reserves for risk exposures within the bond insurance business where the Company guarantees the completion of our insured's financial or performance obligations in the event of a default on their contractual obligations. The Company manages this risk through underwriting risk assessment, collateral requirements for insureds, claims management, and reinsurance.

**Premiums receivable and agents' balances** Premiums receivable and agents' balances, net of an ACL, were $6,316 and $5,998, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For a discussion regarding collectibility of these balances, see Note 7 - Premiums Receivable and Agents' Balances of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Credit Risk of Derivatives**

The Company uses various derivative counterparties in executing its derivative transactions. The use of counterparties creates credit risk that the counterparty may not perform in accordance with the terms of the derivative transaction.

Downgrades to the credit ratings of the Company's insurance operating companies may have adverse implications for its use of derivatives. In some cases, downgrades may give derivative counterparties for OTC derivatives and clearing brokers for OTC-cleared derivatives the right to cancel and settle outstanding derivative trades or require additional collateral to be posted. In addition, downgrades may result in counterparties and clearing brokers becoming unwilling to engage in or clear additional derivatives or may require additional collateralization before entering into any new trades.

**Managing the Credit Risk of Counterparties to Derivative Instruments**

The Company also has derivative counterparty exposure policies which limit the Company's exposure to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty exposure on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with Company policies and statutory limitations. The Company's policies with respect to derivative counterparty exposure establishes market-based credit limits,

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

favors long-term financial stability and creditworthiness of the counterparty and typically requires credit enhancement/credit risk reducing agreements, which are monitored and evaluated by the Company's risk management team and reviewed by senior management.

The Company minimizes the credit risk of derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties primarily rated A or better. The Company also generally requires that OTC derivative contracts be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") Master Agreement, which is structured by legal entity and by counterparty and permits right of offset. The Company enters into credit support annexes in conjunction with the ISDA agreements, which require daily collateral settlement based upon agreed upon thresholds.

The Company's credit exposures are generally quantified based on the prior business day's net fair value, including income accruals, of all derivative positions transacted with a single counterparty for each separate legal entity. The notional amount of derivative contracts represents the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and are not necessarily reflective of credit risk. The Company enters into collateral arrangements in connection with its derivatives positions and collateral is pledged to or held by, or on behalf of, the Company to the extent the exposure is greater than zero, subject to minimum transfer thresholds, if applicable. In accordance with industry standards and the contractual requirements, collateral is typically settled on the same business day. For further discussion, see the Derivative Commitments section of Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Use of Credit Derivatives**

The Company may also use credit default swaps to manage credit exposure or to assume credit risk to enhance yield.

Credit Risk Reduced Through Credit Derivatives

The Company may use credit derivatives to purchase credit protection with respect to a single entity or referenced index. The Company may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to economically hedge and manage credit risk of certain fixed maturity investments across multiple sectors of the investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company did not hold credit derivatives that purchase credit protection.

Credit Risk Assumed Through Credit Derivatives

The Company may also enter into credit default swaps that assume credit risk as part of replication transactions. Replication transactions may be used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company's investment policies. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not hold credit default swaps that assume credit risk.

For further information on credit derivatives, see Note 6 - Derivatives of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Credit Risk of Business Operations**

A portion of the Company's Business Insurance business is written with large deductibles or under retrospectively-rated plans. Under some commercial insurance contracts with a large deductible, the Company is obligated to pay the claimant the full amount of the claim and the Company is subsequently

reimbursed by the policyholder for the deductible amount. As such, the Company is subject to credit risk until reimbursement is made. Retrospectively-rated policies are utilized primarily for workers' compensation coverage, whereby the ultimate premium is adjusted based on actual losses incurred. Although the premium adjustment feature of a retrospectively-rated policy substantially reduces insurance risk for the Company, it presents credit risk to the Company. The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if a significant portion of such policyholders failed to reimburse the Company for the deductible amount or the amount of additional premium owed under retrospectively-rated policies. The Company manages these credit risks through credit analysis, collateral requirements, and oversight. For more information, see Note 7- Premiums Receivable and Agents' Balances of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Interest Rate Risk**

Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss due to adverse changes in the value of assets and liabilities arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk encompasses exposures with respect to changes in the level of interest rates, the shape of the term structure of rates and the volatility of interest rates. Interest rate risk does not include exposure to changes in credit spreads.

**Sources of Interest Rate Risk** The Company has exposure to interest rate risk arising from investments in fixed maturities and commercial mortgage loans, issuances by the Company of debt securities, preferred stock and similar securities, discount rate assumptions associated with the Company's claim reserves and pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, and assets that support the Company's pension plans.

**Impact** Changes in interest rates from current levels can have both favorable and unfavorable effects for the Company.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

**Management** The Company primarily manages its exposure to interest rate risk by constructing investment portfolios that seek to protect the Company from the economic impact associated with changes in interest rates by setting portfolio duration targets that are aligned with the duration of the liabilities that they support. The Company analyzes interest rate risk using various models including parametric models and cash flow simulation under various market scenarios of the liabilities and their supporting investment portfolios. Key metrics that the Company uses to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk inherent in its invested assets and the associated liabilities include duration, convexity and key rate duration.

The Company may also use interest rate swaps and, to a lesser extent, futures to mitigate interest rate risk associated with its investment portfolio or liabilities and to manage portfolio duration. Interest rate swaps are primarily used to convert interest receipts or payments to a fixed or variable rate. The use of such swaps enables the Company to customize contract terms and conditions to desired objectives and manage the duration profile within established tolerances. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, notional amounts pertaining to derivatives utilized to manage interest rate risk, including offsetting positions, totaled $4.1 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively, and primarily relate to hedging invested assets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of these derivatives was $(3) and $0, respectively.

**Assets and Liabilities Subject to Interest Rate Risk**

**Fixed income investments** The fair value of fixed income investments, which include fixed maturities, commercial mortgage loans, and short-term investments, was $57.4 billion and $53.3 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted average duration of the portfolio, including derivative instruments, was approximately 3.9 years and 3.8 years as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Changes in the fair value of fixed maturities due to changes in interest rates are reflected as a component of AOCI.

**Long-term debt obligations** The Company's variable rate debt obligations will generally result in increased interest expense as a result of higher interest rates; the inverse is true during a declining interest rate environment. However, as explained in Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has entered into an interest-rate swap agreement to effectively convert variable interest rate payments on its $500 junior subordinated debentures due 2067 to fixed interest payments. Changes in the value of fixed rate long-term debt as a result of changes in interest rates will impact the fair value of these instruments but not the carrying value in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Group life and disability product liabilities** The cash outflows associated with contracts issued by the Company's Employee Benefits segment, primarily group life and short and long-term disability policy liabilities, are not interest rate sensitive but vary based on timing. Though the aggregate cash flow payment streams are relatively predictable, these products rely upon actuarial pricing assumptions (including mortality and morbidity) and have an element of cash flow uncertainty. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $8,404 and $8,496, respectively of reserves for group life and disability contracts. For most Employee Benefits liabilities, changes in interest rates will impact the fair value but not the carrying value in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. For long-duration insurance contracts, including paid-up life and life conversions, changes in interest rates will impact both the fair value and the carrying value in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations** The Company's pension and other postretirement benefit obligations are exposed to interest rate risk based upon the sensitivity of present value obligations to changes in liability discount rates and for the pension plan the sensitivity of the fair value of investments in the plan portfolios to changes in interest rates. The discount rate assumption is based upon an interest rate yield curve that reflects high-quality fixed income investments consistent with the maturity profile of the expected liability cash flows. The Company is exposed to the risk of having to make additional pension plan contributions if the plan's investment returns, including from investments in fixed maturities, are lower than expected. As there were no remaining assets in the other postretirement plan as of December 31, 2025, the Company will fund from Company assets going forward. For further discussion of discounting pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, refer to Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Interest Rate Sensitivity**

Group Life and Disability Reserves and Invested Assets Supporting Them

Included in the following table is the before tax change in the net economic value of contracts issued by the Company's Employee Benefits segment, primarily group life and disability, for which fixed valuation discount rate assumptions are established based upon investment returns assumed in pricing, along with the corresponding invested assets. For long-duration insurance contracts the discount rate is updated quarterly with

an equivalent single rate that is based on a current market observable, upper-medium grade fixed maturity yield. This has been interpreted to represent a yield based on single-A credit rated fixed maturity instruments with similar duration to the related liability. Also included in this analysis are the interest rate sensitive derivatives used by the Company to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk in the investment portfolios supporting these contracts. This analysis does not include the assets and corresponding liabilities of other insurance products such as automobile, property, workers' compensation and general liability insurance. Certain financial instruments, such as limited partnerships and other alternative investments, have been omitted from the analysis as the interest rate sensitivity of these investments is generally lower and less predictable than fixed income investments. The calculation of the estimated hypothetical change in net economic value below assumes a 100 basis point upward and downward parallel shift in the yield curve.

The selection of the 100 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve was made only as an illustration of the potential impact of such an event and should not be construed as a prediction of future market events. Actual results could differ materially from those illustrated below due to the nature of the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis. The Company's sensitivity analysis calculation assumes that the composition of invested assets and liabilities remain materially consistent throughout the year and that the current relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates will remain constant over time. As a result, these calculations may not fully capture the impact of portfolio re-allocations, significant product sales or non-parallel changes in interest rates.

The carrying value of assets related to supporting Employee Benefits, primarily long-term disability reserves, was $10.1 billion and $10.0 billion, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and included fixed maturities, commercial mortgage loans and short-term investments. The assets are monitored and managed within set duration guidelines and are evaluated on a daily basis, as well as annually, using scenario simulation techniques in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Invested Assets not Supporting Group Life and Disability Reserves

The following table provides an analysis showing the estimated before tax change in the fair value of the Company's investments and related derivatives, excluding assets supporting group life and disability reserves which are included in the table above, assuming 100 basis point upward and downward parallel shifts in the yield curve as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Certain financial instruments, such as limited partnerships and other alternative investments, have been

omitted from the analysis as the interest rate sensitivity of these investments is generally lower and less predictable than fixed income investments.

The carrying value of fixed maturities, commercial mortgage loans and short-term investments, excluding those related to supporting Employee Benefits short and long-term disability reserves, was $47.3 billion and $43.3 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Long-term Debt

A 100 basis point parallel decrease in the yield curve would result in an increase in the fair value of long-term debt by $393 and $397 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A 100 basis point parallel increase in the yield curve would result in a decrease in the fair value of long-term debt by $335 and $336 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Changes in the value of long-term debt as a result of changes in interest rates will not impact the carrying value in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pension and Other Postretirement Plan Obligations

A 100 basis point parallel decrease in the yield curve would impact both the value of the underlying pension assets and the value of the liabilities, resulting in an increase in the unfunded liabilities (or decrease in asset) for pension and other postretirement plan obligations of $11 and $9 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A 100 basis point parallel increase in the yield curve would have the inverse effect and result in a decrease in the unfunded liabilities (or increase in assets) for pension and other postretirement plan obligations of $(2) and $3 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gains or losses due to changes in the yield curve on the pension and postretirement plan obligations are recorded within AOCI and are amortized into the actuarial loss component of net periodic benefit cost when they exceed a threshold.

**Equity Risk**

Equity risk is the risk of financial loss due to changes in the value of global equities or equity indices.

Company's pension plans, and fee income derived from Hartford Funds AUM.

**Impact** The investment portfolio is exposed to losses from market declines affecting equity securities and derivatives, which could negatively impact the Company's reported earnings. In addition, investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments generally have a level of correlation to domestic equity market levels and can expose the Company to losses in earnings if valuations decline; however, earnings impacts are recognized on a lag as results from private equity investments and other funds are generally reported on a three-month delay. For assets supporting pension plans, the Company may be required to make additional plan contributions if equity investments in the plan portfolios decline in value. Hartford Funds earnings are also significantly influenced by the U.S. and other equity markets. Generally, declines in equity markets will reduce the value of average daily AUM and the amount of fee income generated from those assets. Increases in equity markets will generally have the inverse impact.

**Management** The Company uses various approaches in managing its equity exposure, including limits on the proportion of assets invested in equities, diversification of the equity portfolio, and, at times, hedging of changes in equity indices. For assets supporting pension plans, the asset allocation mix is reviewed on a periodic basis. In order to minimize risk, the pension plans maintain a listing of permissible and prohibited investments and impose concentration limits and investment quality requirements on permissible investment options.

**Assets and Liabilities Subject to Equity Risk** 

**Investment portfolio** The investment portfolio is exposed to losses from market declines affecting equity securities and derivatives, as well as limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Generally, declines in equity markets will reduce the value of these types of investments and could negatively impact the Company's earnings while increases in equity will have the inverse impact. For equity securities, the changes in fair value are reported in net realized gains and losses. For limited partnerships and other alternative investments, the Company's share of earnings for the period is recorded in net investment income, though typically on a delay based on the availability of the underlying financial statements. For a discussion of equity sensitivity, see below.

**Assets supporting pension plans** The Company may be required to make additional plan contributions if equity investments in the plan portfolios decline in value. For a discussion of equity sensitivity, see below.

Declines in value are recognized as unrealized losses in AOCI. Increases in equity markets are recognized as unrealized gains in AOCI. Unrealized gains and losses in AOCI are amortized into the actuarial loss component of net periodic benefit cost when they exceed a threshold. For further discussion of equity risk associated with the pension plans, see Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Assets under management** AUM in Hartford Funds may decrease in value during equity market declines, which would result in lower earnings because fee income is earned based upon the value of AUM.

**Equity Sensitivity**

Investment portfolio and the assets supporting pension plans

Included in the following tables are the estimated before tax change in the economic value of the Company's invested assets and assets supporting pension plans with sensitivity to equity risk. The calculation of the hypothetical change in economic value below assumes a 20% upward and downward shock to the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Price Index ("S&P 500"). For limited partnerships and other alternative investments, the movement in economic value is calculated using a beta analysis largely derived from historical experience relative to the S&P 500.

The selection of the 20% shock to the S&P 500 was made only as an illustration of the potential impact of such an event and should not be construed as a prediction of future market events. Actual results could differ materially from those illustrated below due to the nature of the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis. These calculations do not capture the impact of portfolio re-allocations.

Hartford Funds assets under management

Hartford Funds earnings are significantly influenced by the U.S. and other equity markets. If equity markets were to hypothetically decline 20% and remain depressed for one year, the estimated before tax impact on reported Hartford Funds earnings for that one year period is approximately $70 as of December 31, 2025. The selection of the 20% shock to the S&P 500 was made only as an illustration of the potential impact of such an event and should not be construed as a prediction of future market events. Actual results could differ materially due to the nature of the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Risk**

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk of financial loss due to changes in the relative value between currencies.

**Sources of Currency Risk** The Company has foreign currency exchange risk in non-U.S. dollar denominated cash, fixed maturities, and derivative instruments. In addition, the Company has non-U.S. subsidiaries, some with functional currencies other than U.S. dollar, and which transact business in multiple currencies resulting in assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

**Impact** Changes in relative values between currencies can create variability in cash flows and realized or unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities. The impact on the fair value of fixed maturities, AFS due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in relation to functional currency, is reported in unrealized gains or losses as part of other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The realization of gains or losses resulting from investment sales or from changes in investments that record changes in fair value through the income statement due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is reflected through net realized gains and losses.

In regard to insurance and reinsurance contracts that the Company enters into for which we are obligated to pay losses in a foreign currency, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on assets and liabilities related to these contracts is reflected through net realized gains and losses. These assets or liabilities include, but are not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables, and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Additionally, the Company translates the assets, liabilities, and income of non-U.S. dollar functional currency legal entities into

U.S. dollars. This translation amount is reported as a component of other comprehensive income.

**Management** The Company manages its foreign currency exchange risk primarily through asset-liability matching and through the use of derivative instruments. However, legal entity capital is invested in local currencies in order to satisfy regulatory requirements and to support local insurance operations. The foreign currency exposure of non-U.S. dollar denominated investments will most commonly be reduced through the sale of the assets or through hedges using foreign currency swaps and forwards.

**Assets and Liabilities Subject to Foreign Currency Exchange Risk**

**Investment portfolio** The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk affecting non-U.S. dollar denominated cash, fixed maturities, and derivative instruments. Changes in relative values between currencies can positively or negatively impact net realized gains and losses or unrealized gains (losses) as part of other comprehensive income.

**Insurance contract related assets and liabilities** The Company has non-U.S. dollar denominated insurance and reinsurance contracts and associated premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, that are exposed to foreign exchange risk. For contracts that are within U.S dollar functional currency legal entities, changes in foreign currency exchange rates can positively or negatively impact net realized gains and losses. For contracts within non-U.S. dollar functional currency legal entities, changes in the functional currency relative to the U.S. dollar can positively or negatively impact other comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

For the Company's primary currencies that create foreign exchange risk, the following table provides the estimated impact of a hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in exchange rates. Actual results could differ materially due to the nature of the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis. The amounts presented are in U.S. dollars and before tax.

**Financial Risk on U.S. Statutory Capital**

U.S. Statutory surplus amounts and RBC ratios may increase or decrease in any period depending upon a variety of factors and may be compounded in extreme scenarios or if multiple factors occur at the same time. At times, the impact of changes in certain market factors or a combination of multiple factors on RBC ratios can be counterintuitive. Factors include:

• A decrease in the value of certain fixed-income and equity securities in our investment portfolio, due in part to credit spreads widening, an increase in interest rates, or a decline in equity market levels, may result in a decrease in statutory surplus and RBC ratios;

• A decline in investment yields may reduce our net investment income, which may result in a decrease in statutory surplus and RBC ratios;

• Decreases in the value of certain derivative instruments that do not get hedge accounting, may reduce statutory surplus and RBC ratios; and

• Non-market factors can also impact the amount and volatility of either our actual or potential obligation, as well as the related statutory surplus and RBC ratios.

Most of these factors are outside of the Company's control. Among other factors, rating agencies consider the level of statutory capital and surplus of our U.S. insurance subsidiaries as well as the level of U.S. GAAP capital held by the Company in determining the Company's financial strength and credit ratings. Rating agencies may implement changes to their internal models that have the effect of increasing or decreasing the amount of capital we must hold in order to maintain our current ratings.

*[1]Pre-refunded bonds are bonds for which an irrevocable trust containing sufficient U.S. treasury, agency, or other securities has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest.*

*[2]Leasing revenue bonds are generally the obligations of a financing authority established by the municipality that leases facilities back to a municipality. The notes are typically secured by lease payments made by the municipality that is leasing the facilities financed by the issue. Lease payments may be subject to annual appropriation by the municipality or the municipality may be obligated to appropriate general tax revenues to make lease payments.*

As of December 31, 2025, the largest issuer concentrations were the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, CommonSpirit Health, and the State of California, which each comprised less than 4% of the municipal bond portfolio and were primarily comprised of general obligation and revenue bonds.

**Fixed Maturities, AFS — Unrealized Loss Aging**

The total gross unrealized losses were $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, and have decreased $803 since December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower interest rates. As of December 31, 2025, $1.1 billion of the gross unrealized losses were associated with fixed maturities, AFS depressed less than 20% of amortized cost. The remaining $0.3 billion of gross unrealized losses were associated with fixed maturities, AFS depressed greater than 20%. The fixed maturities, AFS depressed more than 20% primarily related to corporate fixed maturities, U.S. Treasuries, and municipal bonds, that are mainly depressed because current interest rates are higher than at the respective purchase dates.As part of the Company's ongoing investment monitoring process, the Company has reviewed its fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position and concluded that these fixed maturities are temporarily depressed and are expected to recover in value as the investments approach maturity or as market spreads tighten. For these fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position where an ACL has not been recorded, the Company's best estimate of expected future cash flows are sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the investment. Furthermore, the Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell these investments. For further information regarding the Company's ACL analysis, see the Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Intent-to-Sell Impairments section below.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Intent-to-Sell Impairments

**For the year ended December 31, 2025**

The Company recorded no net change in the ACL. There were no unrealized losses on securities with an ACL recognized in OCI. For further information, refer to Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

There were no intent-to-sell impairments.

The Company incorporates its best estimate of future performance using internal assumptions and judgments that are informed by economic and industry specific trends, as well as our expectations with respect to security specific developments.

Future intent-to-sell impairments or credit losses may develop as the result of changes in our intent to sell specific securities that are in an unrealized loss position or if modeling assumptions, such as macroeconomic factors or security specific developments, change unfavorably from our current modeling assumptions, resulting in lower cash flow expectations.

**For the year ended December 31, 2024**

The Company recorded net credit losses of $2, primarily attributable to increases in the ACL of $1 on CMBS and $1 on a below investment grade corporate issuer. Unrealized losses on securities with an ACL recognized in other comprehensive income were less than $1.

There were no intent-to-sell impairments.

ACL on Mortgage Loans

**For the year ended December 31, 2025**

The Company reviews mortgage loans on a quarterly basis to estimate the ACL with changes in the ACL recorded in net realized gains and losses. Apart from an ACL recorded on individual mortgage loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company records an ACL on the pool of mortgage loans based on lifetime expected credit losses. For further information, refer to Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company recorded an increase in the ACL on mortgage loans of $6 primarily attributable to weaker real estate fundamentals, property specific declines, and net additions of new loans.

**For the year ended December 31, 2024**

The Company recorded a credit loss reversal of $3 primarily attributable to improved economic scenario forecasts and property specific improvements, partially offset by net additions of new loans.

The following section discusses the overall financial strength of The Hartford and its insurance operations including their ability to generate cash flows from each of their business segments, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet operating and growth needs.

Summary of Capital Resources and Liquidity

**Capital available to the holding company as of December 31, 2025:**

• Approximately $1.5 billion in fixed maturities, short-term investments, investment sales receivable and cash at the HIG Holding Company;

• A senior unsecured revolving credit facility that provides for borrowing capacity up to $750 of unsecured credit through September 24, 2030. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding; and

• An intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HIG Holding Company and certain affiliates of up to $2.0 billion for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2025, $1.85 billion was available, $150 was outstanding between certain affiliates, and there were no amounts outstanding at the HIG Holding Company. As of February 19, 2026, $1.86 billion was available, $145 was outstanding between certain affiliates and there were no amounts outstanding at the HIG Holding Company.

**2026 expected dividends and other sources of capital:**

The future payment of dividends from our subsidiaries is dependent on several factors including business results, capital position and liquidity of our subsidiaries.

• **P&C -** The Company's property and casualty insurance subsidiaries have regulatory dividend capacity of $2.5 billion for 2026. The HIG Holding Company expects to receive approximately $2.2 billion of net dividends in 2026 after considering state deposit and regulatory capital requirements to support growth in certain entities, dividends that are expected to be subsequently contributed to P&C subsidiaries and dividends related to interest on intercompany notes.

• **Employee Benefits -** Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA") has regulatory dividend capacity of $589 in 2026 with approximately $580 of dividends expected in 2026.

• **Hartford Funds** - HIG Holding Company expects to receive approximately $170 in dividends from Hartford Funds in 2026.

**Expected liquidity requirements for the next twelve months as of December 31, 2025:**

• $194 of interest on debt, net of settlements on a related interest rate swap. See Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements;

• $21 dividends on preferred stock, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors; and

• $670 of common stockholders' dividends, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and before share repurchases.

**Expected liquidity requirements for beyond the next twelve months as of December 31, 2025:**

• Interest on and repayments of debt, see Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

• Preferred stock and common stock dividends, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors.

**Equity repurchase program:**

In 2025, the Company repurchased 12.9 million common shares for $1.6 billion under the $3.3 billion share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, effective through December 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $1.55 billion remaining for equity repurchases under the share repurchase program effective through 2026. During the period January 1, 2026 through February 19, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 1.8 million common shares for $247.

The timing of any repurchases is dependent on several factors, including the market price of the Company's securities, the Company's capital position, consideration of the effect of any repurchases on the Company's financial strength or credit ratings, the Company's blackout periods, and other considerations.

Liquidity Requirements and Sources of Capital

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. ("HIG Holding Company")**

The liquidity requirements of the HIG Holding Company will primarily be met by HIG Holding Company's fixed maturities; short-term investments and cash; and dividends from its subsidiaries, principally its insurance operations. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity and has a variety of contingent liquidity resources to manage liquidity across a range of economic scenarios.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The HIG Holding Company expects to continue to receive dividends from its operating subsidiaries in the future and manages capital in its operating subsidiaries to be sufficient under significant economic stress scenarios. Dividends from subsidiaries and other sources of funds at the holding company may be used to repurchase shares under the authorized share repurchase program at the discretion of management.

Under significant economic stress scenarios, the Company has the ability to meet short-term cash requirements, if needed, by borrowing under its revolving credit facility or by having its insurance subsidiaries take collateralized advances under a facility with the FHLBB. The Company could also choose to have its insurance subsidiaries sell certain highly liquid, high quality fixed maturities or the Company could issue debt in the public markets under its shelf registration.

Dividends

The Hartford's Board of Directors declared the following quarterly dividends since October 1, 2025:

**Common Stock Dividends**

There are no current restrictions on HIG Holding Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders.

For a discussion of restrictions on dividends to HIG Holding Company from its insurance subsidiaries, see the following "Dividends from Subsidiaries" discussion. For a discussion of potential restrictions on the HIG Holding Company's ability to pay dividends, see Part I, Item 1A, — Risk Factors for the risk factor "Our ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to limitations."

Dividends from Subsidiaries

Dividends to HIG Holding Company from its insurance subsidiaries are restricted by insurance regulation. The Company's principal insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The payment of dividends by Connecticut-domiciled insurers is limited under the insurance holding company laws of Connecticut. These laws require notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment of any dividend, which, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer's statutory policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) net

income (or net gain from operations, if such company is a life insurance company) for the preceding year, in each case determined under statutory insurance accounting principles. In addition, if any dividend of a Connecticut-domiciled insurer exceeds the insurer's earned surplus, it requires the prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.

Property casualty insurers domiciled in New York, including NIC and Navigators Specialty Insurance Company ("NSIC"), generally may not, without notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner, pay dividends out of earned surplus in any twelve-month period that exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of the insurer's statutory policyholders' surplus as of the most recent financial statement on file, or (ii) 100% of its adjusted net investment income, as defined, for the same twelve month period.

The insurance holding company laws of the other jurisdictions in which The Hartford's insurance subsidiaries are incorporated (or deemed commercially domiciled) generally contain similar (although in certain instances more restrictive) limitations on the payment of dividends. In addition to statutory limitations on paying dividends, the Company also takes other items into consideration when determining dividends from subsidiaries. These considerations include, but are not limited to, expected earnings and capitalization, regulatory capital requirements, liquidity requirements and state deposit requirements of the individual subsidiary.

Corporate members of Lloyd's syndicates may pay dividends to its parent to the extent of available profits that have been distributed from the syndicate in excess of the FAL capital requirement and subject to restrictions imposed under UK Company Law. The FAL is determined based on the syndicate's SCR under the Solvency II capital adequacy model, the current regulatory framework governing UK domiciled insurers, plus a Lloyd's specific economic capital assessment.

Insurers domiciled in the United Kingdom may pay dividends to their parent out of their statutory profits subject to restrictions imposed under U.K. Company law and Solvency II.

In 2025, HIG Holding Company received $592 of dividends from HLA and $161 from Hartford Funds, and $43 from other non-insurance subsidiaries. In addition, HIG Holding Company received $1.7 billion of net dividends from P&C subsidiaries in 2025 which excludes $75 of P&C dividends that were subsequently contributed to P&C subsidiaries and $107 of P&C dividends related to interest payments on an intercompany note owed by Hartford Holdings, Inc. ("HHI") to Hartford Fire Insurance Company. Refer to "2026 expected dividends and other sources of capital" for expected payments of dividends from our subsidiaries in 2026.

Other Sources of Capital for the HIG Holding Company

The Hartford endeavors to maintain a capital structure that provides financial and operational flexibility to its insurance subsidiaries, ratings that support its competitive position in the financial services marketplace (see the "Ratings" section below for further discussion), and stockholder returns. As a result, the Company may from time to time raise capital from the issuance of debt, common equity, preferred stock, equity-related debt or other capital securities and is continuously evaluating strategic

opportunities. The issuance of debt, common equity, equity-related debt or other capital securities could result in the dilution of stockholder interests or reduced net income to common stockholders due to additional interest expense or preferred stock dividends.

**Shelf Registrations**

The Hartford filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC on September 23, 2024 that permits it to offer and sell debt and equity securities during the three-year life of the registration statement.

For further information regarding shelf registrations, see Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Revolving Credit Facility**

The Hartford has a $750 senior unsecured revolving credit facility, including $100 available to support letters of credit (the "Credit Facility"). On September 24, 2025, The Hartford amended and restated the Credit Facility, which, among other changes, extends the term of the facility through September 24, 2030. As of December 31, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding and no letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility and The Hartford was in compliance with all financial covenants. For further information regarding the Credit Facility, see Note 13 – Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Intercompany Liquidity Agreements**

The Company has $2.0 billion available under an intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HIG Holding Company and certain affiliates of up to $2.0 billion for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. The Connecticut Insurance Department ("CID") granted approval for certain affiliated insurance companies that are parties to the agreement to treat receivables from a parent, including the HIG Holding Company, as admitted assets for statutory accounting purposes.

As of December 31, 2025, $1.85 billion was available, $150 was outstanding between certain affiliates, and there were no amounts outstanding at the HIG Holding Company. As of February 19, 2026, $1.86 billion was available, $145 was outstanding between certain affiliates and there were no amounts outstanding at the HIG Holding Company.

**Collateralized Advances with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston**

The Company's subsidiaries, Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford Fire") and HLA, are members of the FHLBB. Membership allows these subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be short- or long-term with fixed or variable rates. Advances may be used to support general corporate purposes, which would be presented as short- or long-term debt, or to earn incremental investment income, which would be presented in other liabilities consistent with other collateralized financing transactions. Prior to October 1, 2025, the CID permitted Hartford Fire and HLA to pledge up to $1.4 billion and $0.6 billion in qualifying assets, respectively without prior approval to secure FHLBB advances. Effective October 1, 2025, the Company is no longer subject to the CID hypothecation limit or approval related to FHLBB advances. The

Company's pledge capacity is now subject to FHLBB's collateral eligibility requirements, which may be amended at their discretion. Based on these requirements, the Company estimates that Hartford Fire can pledge up to $2.6 billion and HLA can pledge up to $2.2 billion to secure FHLBB advances. As of December 31, 2025, there were no advances outstanding.

For further information regarding the Company's Collateralized Advances with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, see Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Lloyd's Letter of Credit Facility**

The Hartford has a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the "Lloyd's Facility"). On October 21, 2024, The Hartford amended and restated its Lloyd's Facility agreement. The amended and restated Lloyd's Facility has two tranches with one tranche extending a $74 commitment and the other tranche extending a £74 million ($100 as of December 31, 2025) commitment. As of December 31, 2025, letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $74 and £74 million, or $100, were outstanding under the Lloyd's Facility.

Among other covenants, the Lloyd's Facility contains financial covenants regarding The Hartford's consolidated net worth and financial leverage. As of December 31, 2025, The Hartford was in compliance with all financial covenants of the facility.

For further information regarding the Lloyd's Facility, see Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

While the Company has significant discretion in making voluntary contributions to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, minimum contributions are mandated in certain circumstances pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act of 2012 (MAP-21) and Internal Revenue Code regulations.

The Company did not make any contributions to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2025, 2024 and 2023. In 2025 and 2023, the Company funded $1 and $3, respectively to a rabbi trust that is designated for other defined benefit pension plans and contributed $1 and $1, respectively to the Canadian Pension Plan. There were no plan contributions in 2024 for other defined benefit pension plans. The Company made direct benefit payments of $5, $6 and $5 on behalf of the other postretirement plan in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No other contributions were made to the other postretirement plan in 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company's 2025, 2024 and 2023 required minimum funding contributions were immaterial. The Company does not have a 2026 required minimum funding contribution for the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the funding requirements for all pension plans are expected to be immaterial. The Company has not determined whether, and to what extent, contributions may be made to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2026. The Company will monitor the funded status of the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan during 2026 to make this determination. As

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

of December 31, 2025, the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan is fully funded and in an asset position. For further discussion of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, see Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Commitments

Certain of the Company's derivative agreements contain provisions that are tied to the financial strength ratings, as set by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, of the individual legal entity that entered into the derivative agreement. If the legal entity's financial strength were to fall below certain ratings, the counterparties to the derivative agreements could terminate agreements and demand immediate settlement of the outstanding net derivative positions transacted under each agreement. For further information, refer to Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2025, no derivative positions would be subject to immediate termination in the event of a downgrade of one level below the current financial strength ratings. This could change as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated.

Insurance Operations

While subject to variability period to period, underwriting and investment cash flows continue to provide sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated demands.

The principal sources of operating funds are premiums, fees earned from insurance and administrative service agreements, and investment income, while investing cash flows primarily originate from maturities and sales of invested assets.

The Company's insurance operations consist of property and casualty insurance products (collectively referred to as "Property & Casualty Operations") and Employee Benefits products.

The Company's insurance operations hold fixed maturity securities, including a significant short-term investment position (securities with maturities of one year or less at the time of purchase), to meet liquidity needs. Liquidity requirements that are unable to be funded by the Company's insurance operations' short-term investments would be satisfied with current operating funds, including premiums or investing cash flows, which includes proceeds received through the sale of invested assets. A sale of invested assets could result in significant realized losses.

The following tables represent the fixed maturity holdings, including the aforementioned cash and short-term investments available to meet liquidity needs, for each of the Company's insurance operations.

**Property & Casualty Operations**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **As of**<br>**December 31, 2025** |
| Fixed maturities | $37816 |
| Short-term investments | 2104 |
| Cash | 117 |
| Less: Derivative collateral | 65 |
| **Total** | $**39972** |

---

Property & Casualty operations invested assets also include $121 in equity securities, $5.3 billion in mortgage loans and $4.5 billion in limited partnerships and other alternative investments.

**Employee Benefits Operations**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **As of**<br>**December 31, 2025** |
| Fixed maturities | $8198 |
| Short-term investments | 365 |
| Cash |  |
| Less: Derivative collateral | 17 |
| **Total** | $**8546** |

---

Employee Benefits operations invested assets also include $23 in equity securities, $1.6 billion in mortgage loans and $1.2 billion in limited partnerships and other alternative investments.

The primary uses of funds are to pay claims, claim adjustment expenses, commissions and other underwriting and insurance operating costs, to pay taxes, to purchase new investments and to make dividend payments to the HIG Holding Company.

Property & Casualty reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2025 were $38.2 billion and net of reinsurance and other recoverables were $31.4 billion. Reserves for Property & Casualty unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses include case reserves and IBNR reserves. The ultimate amount to be paid to settle both case and IBNR reserves is an estimate, subject to significant uncertainty. The actual amount to be paid is not finally determined until the Company reaches a settlement with the claimant. Final claim settlements may vary significantly from the present estimates, particularly since many claims will not be settled until well into the future. For a discussion of The Hartford's judgment in estimating reserves for Property & Casualty see Part II, Item 7, MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance, and for historical payments by reserve line net of reinsurance, see Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The timing of future payments for the next twelve months and for beyond twelve months could vary materially from historical payment patterns due to, among other things, changes in claim reporting and payment patterns and large unanticipated settlements. In particular, there is significant uncertainty over the claim payment patterns of asbestos and environmental claims.

Employee Benefits reserves as of December 31, 2025 were $8.8 billion and net of reinsurance were $8.5 billion. Group life and disability obligations are estimated using assumptions based on the Company's historical experience, modified for recent observed trends. For a discussion of The Hartford's

For additional information about future policy benefits and other policyholder funds and benefits payable, see Note 11 - Reserve for Future Policy Benefits and Note 12 - Other Policyholder Funds and Benefits Payable of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For historical payments by reserve line, net of reinsurance, see Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to the significance of the assumptions used, payments for the next twelve months and beyond twelve months could materially differ from historical patterns.

Corporate reserves as of December 31, 2025 were $356, and net of reinsurance were $143. These reserves related to retained run-off liabilities of its former life and annuity business. For additional information about future policy benefits and other policyholder funds and benefits payable, see Note 11 - Reserve for Future Policy Benefits and Note 12 - Other Policyholder Funds and Benefits Payable of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Hartford Funds**

Hartford Funds' principal sources of operating funds are fees earned from basis points on assets under management with uses primarily for payments to subadvisors and other general operating expenses. As of December 31, 2025, Hartford Funds cash and short-term investments were $396.

Purchase and Other Obligations

The Hartford's unfunded commitments to purchase investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments, mortgage loans, private debt and equity securities, as well as tax credits are disclosed in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. It is anticipated that these unfunded commitments will be funded through the Company's normal operating and investing activities.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual commitments to purchase various goods and services such as maintenance, human resources, and information technology. The Company's operating lease commitments are disclosed in Note 20 - Leases of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. It is anticipated that these purchase commitments and operating lease obligations will be funded through the Company's normal operating and investing activities.

| Debt to capitalization | 19% | 21% |  |

---

Total capitalization increased $2,537, or 12%, as of December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to net income in excess of common stockholder dividends in the period, and a decrease in net unrealized losses on fixed maturities, AFS partially offset by share repurchases.

For additional information on AOCI, net of tax, including unrealized gains (losses) from securities, see Note 17 - Changes in and Reclassifications From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information on debt, see Note 13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

| Cash and restricted cash— end of year | $177 | $234 | $189 |

---

**Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024**

**Net cash provided by operating activities** increased slightly in 2025 as compared to the prior year primarily driven by an increase in P&C and Employee Benefits premiums received partially offset by an increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses paid and higher operating expenses, including increased commissions and staffing costs.

**Cash used for investing activities** decreased slightly in 2025 due to more cash used in financing activities partially offset by more cash generated from operating activities.

**Cash used for financing activities** increased in 2025 as compared to the prior year primarily driven by an increase in treasury stock acquired through share repurchases, a change from net issuance to net return of shares under incentive and stock compensation plans, and an increase in dividends paid on common stock.

**Operating cash flows** for the year ended December 31, 2025 have been adequate to meet liquidity requirements.

Equity Markets

For a discussion of the potential impact of the equity markets on capital and liquidity, see the Financial Risk on U.S. Statutory Capital and Liquidity Risk section in this MD&A.

Ratings

Ratings are an important factor in establishing a competitive position in the insurance marketplace and impact the Company's ability to access financing and its cost of borrowing. There can be no assurance that the Company's ratings will continue for any given period of time, or that they will not be changed. In the event the Company's ratings are downgraded, the Company's competitive position, ability to access financing, and its cost of borrowing, may be adversely impacted.

These ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of The Hartford's securities and they may be revised or withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the rating organization. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating. The system and the number of rating categories can vary across rating agencies.

Among other factors, rating agencies consider the level of statutory capital and surplus of our U.S. insurance subsidiaries as well as the level of U.S. GAAP capital held by the Company in determining the Company's financial strength and credit ratings. Rating agencies may implement changes to their capital formulas that have the effect of increasing the amount of capital we must hold in order to maintain our current ratings. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors — "Downgrades in our financial strength or credit ratings may make our products less attractive, increase our cost of capital and inhibit our ability to refinance our debt."

On July 3, 2025, A.M. Best upgraded the senior debt rating of the Company to "a" from "a-". The upgrade of the debt rating was based on the Company's balance sheet strength, operating performance, favorable business profile and enterprise risk management. A.M. Best also affirmed the insurance financial strength ratings for the Company. A.M. Best's outlook for all ratings is "stable".

On August 19, 2025, Standard & Poor's ("S&P") raised the long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings on The Hartford's core subsidiaries to "AA-" from "A+" and the issuer credit rating on the Company to "A-" from "BBB+". At the same time, S&P upgraded all debt ratings of the Company, including raising the senior debt rating to "A-" from "BBB+". These upgrades reflect improved underwriting performance, strong profitability, and risk management that have increased the Company's capital resiliency. S&P's outlook for all ratings is "stable".

On October 10, 2025, Moody's upgraded the senior unsecured debt rating of the Company to "A3" from "Baa1", upgraded the insurance financial strength ratings (IFS) of The Hartford's primary P&C insurance subsidiaries to "Aa3" from "A1", and affirmed the IFS rating of HLA at "A1". The ratings upgrade reflects the Company's track record of strong, stable profitability and strong risk adjusted capitalization supported by well diversified revenues and earnings from its P&C insurance, Employee Benefits and Hartford Funds businesses. Moody's outlook for all ratings is "stable".

*[1]The statutory capital for property and casualty insurance subsidiaries in this table does not include the value of an intercompany note owed by HHI to Hartford Fire Insurance Company.* 

*[2]Excludes insurance operations in the U.K.*

**U.S. STAT to U.S. GAAP Differences**

Significant differences between U.S. GAAP stockholders' equity and aggregate statutory capital prepared in accordance with U.S. STAT include the following:

• U.S. STAT excludes equity of non-insurance and foreign insurance subsidiaries not held by U.S. insurance subsidiaries.

• Costs incurred by the Company to acquire insurance policies are deferred under U.S. GAAP while those costs are expensed immediately under U.S. STAT.

• Temporary differences between the book and tax basis of an asset or liability which are recorded as deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability under U.S. GAAP while these amounts are then subject to further admissibility tests under U.S. STAT.

• The assumptions used in the determination of Employee Benefits reserves (i.e., for Employee Benefits contracts) are prescribed under U.S. STAT, while the assumptions used under U.S. GAAP are generally the Company's best estimates.

• The difference between the amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity and other investments, net of tax, is recorded as an increase or decrease to the carrying value of the related asset and to equity under U.S. GAAP, while, under

U.S. STAT, most investments are carried at amortized cost with only certain securities carried at fair value, such as equity securities and certain lower rated bonds required by the NAIC to be recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

• U.S. STAT for life insurance companies like HLA establishes a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to default and equity risks associated with certain invested assets (the Asset Valuation Reserve), while U.S. GAAP does not. Also, for those realized gains and losses caused by changes in interest rates, U.S. STAT for life insurance companies defers and amortizes the gains and losses into income over the original life to maturity of the asset sold (the Interest Maintenance Reserve) while U.S. GAAP does not.

• Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is tested for recoverability on an annual basis (or more frequently, as necessary) for U.S. GAAP, while under U.S. STAT goodwill is amortized over a period not to exceed 10 years and the amount of goodwill admitted as an asset is limited.

• The deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance for losses ceded to the A&E ADC agreement is recognized within a special category of surplus under U.S. STAT but is recognized within other liabilities under U.S. GAAP. In addition, the pattern of amortizing the deferred gain for U.S. GAAP and releasing special surplus for STAT is different.

Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For U.S. GAAP the deferred gain is amortized in proportion of actual recoveries collected to total expected recoveries, while for STAT special surplus is released dollar for dollar once recoveries collected exceed the reinsurance premium.

In addition, certain assets, including a portion of premiums receivable and fixed assets, are non-admitted (recorded at zero value and charged against surplus) under U.S. STAT. U.S. GAAP generally evaluates assets based on their recoverability.

Risk Based Capital

The Company's U.S. insurance companies' states of domicile impose RBC requirements. The requirements provide a means of measuring the minimum amount of statutory capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations based on its size and risk profile. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. All of the Company's U.S. operating insurance subsidiaries had RBC ratios in excess of the minimum levels required by the applicable insurance regulations.

Similar to the RBC ratios that are employed by U.S. insurance regulators, regulatory authorities in the international jurisdictions in which the Company operates generally establish minimum solvency requirements for insurance companies. All of the Company's international insurance subsidiaries expect to maintain capital levels in excess of the minimum levels required by the applicable regulatory authorities.

Sensitivity

In any particular period, statutory capital amounts and RBC ratios may increase or decrease depending upon a variety of factors. The amount of change in the statutory capital or RBC ratios can vary based on individual factors and may be compounded in extreme scenarios or if multiple factors occur at the same time. At times the impact of changes in certain market factors or a combination of multiple factors on RBC ratios can be counterintuitive. For further discussion on these factors, see MD&A - Enterprise Risk Management, Financial Risk on Statutory Capital.

Statutory capital at the insurance subsidiaries has been maintained at capital levels commensurate with the Company's desired RBC ratios and ratings from rating agencies. The amount of statutory capital can increase or decrease depending on a number of factors affecting insurance results including, among other factors, the level of catastrophe claims incurred, the amount of reserve development, the effect of changes in interest rates on investment income and the discounting of loss reserves, and the effect of realized gains and losses on investments.

Contingencies

For a discussion regarding The Hartford's legal proceedings, see the information contained in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 3 — Legal Proceedings, which are incorporated herein by reference.

**Legislative and Regulatory Developments**

Congress may consider a variety of proposals including a possible increase in the corporate tax rate to offset the cost of any new spending. Tax proposals and regulatory initiatives that may be considered by Congress and/or the U.S. Treasury Department could have a material effect on the Company and its insurance businesses. The nature and timing of any such Congressional or regulatory action with respect to any such efforts is unclear.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purposes set forth in the definition thereof in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of December 31, 2025.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

The management of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("The Hartford") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for The Hartford as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Hartford's management assessed its internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "*Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)*" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment under those criteria, The Hartford's management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Attestation Report of the Company's Registered Public Accounting Firm**

The Hartford's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued their attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting which is set forth below.

Part II - Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

Hartford, Connecticut

**Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion** 

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

Hartford, Connecticut

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company 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 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

***Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses - Refer to Notes 1 and 10 to the financial statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

For property and casualty and group life and disability insurance products, the Company establishes reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses to provide for the estimated costs of paying claims under insurance policies written by the Company. These reserves include estimates for both claims that have been reported and claims that have been incurred but not reported and include estimates of all losses and loss adjustment expenses associated with processing and settling these claims. This estimation process is based significantly on the assumption that past developments are an appropriate predictor of future events and involves a variety of actuarial techniques that analyze experience, trends and other relevant factors.

Given the subjectivity of estimating the ultimate cost to settle the liabilities for reported and unreported claims due to uncertainties caused by various factors including frequency and severity of claims as well as changes in the legislative and regulatory environment, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses were appropriately recorded as of December 31, 2025, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our actuarial specialists.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of controls related to the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including controls over inputs, methods, and assumptions used in the Company's estimation processes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the underlying data that served as the basis for the Company's analysis, including historical claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we evaluated the methods and assumptions used by the Company to estimate the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses by:

–Assessing the reasonableness of the Company's analysis and, for selected reserving lines, developing independent estimates of the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and comparing such estimates to the Company's estimates.

–Comparing the Company's prior year assumptions of expected development of ultimate loss to actual losses incurred during the current year to identify potential management bias in the determination of the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

***Investments in Fixed Maturities Classified as Available-for-Sale - Refer to Notes 1, 4, and 5 to the financial statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description* 

Investments in fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value in the financial statements. Certain investments without readily determinable fair values were valued using significant unobservable inputs, such as credit spreads and interest rates beyond the observable curve, that involved considerable judgment by the Company.

Given the Company used models and unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of certain investments in fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale, performing audit procedures to evaluate these inputs required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit* 

Our audit procedures related to the models and unobservable inputs used by the Company to estimate the fair value of certain investments in fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of investments in fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale, including controls over inputs, methods, and assumptions used in the Company's estimation processes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On a sample basis, we tested the accuracy and completeness of the investments owned as of December 31, 2025, and the relevant security attributes used in the determination of their fair values.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, for a sample of investments, we tested the mathematical accuracy of the fair value calculation and developed independent estimates of the fair value and compared our estimates to the Company's estimates. In addition to developing independent estimates, we obtained an understanding of the models and inputs used by the Company and assessed those models and inputs for reasonableness. Such assessment included comparing inputs to external sources or developing independent inputs.

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

*(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated)*

**1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies** 

The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. ("HIG") is a holding company for insurance and financial services subsidiaries that provide property and casualty ("P&C") insurance, employee group benefits insurance and services and mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETF") to individual and business customers in the United States as well as in the United Kingdom and other international locations (collectively, "The Hartford", the "Company", "we" or "our").

The Hartford conducts business principally in five reportable segments including Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Property & Casualty Other Operations, Employee Benefits and Hartford Funds, as well as a Corporate category.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities.

Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc., and entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. Entities in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financing decisions but does not control are reported using the equity method. Intercompany transactions and balances between The Hartford and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates include those used in determining property and casualty and group long-term disability ("LTD") insurance product reserves, net of reinsurance; evaluation of goodwill for impairment; valuation of investments and derivative instruments; and contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

**Income Tax Disclosures**

On December 31, 2025, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") new disclosure requirements for income taxes, which was applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The income tax rate reconciliation is updated to present reconciling items based on specified categories with further disaggregation of items above a prescribed threshold. Disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is disaggregated by U.S. federal and foreign taxes with further disaggregation by individual jurisdictions subject to a prescribed threshold. The new disclosures are provided in Note 16 - Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

**Disaggregated Income Statement Expenses**

The FASB issued new guidance on disclosures of disaggregated income statement expenses. The new guidance requires footnote disclosures that will disaggregate expenses included in relevant expense captions into prescribed categories, as well as narrative disclosures about selling expenses. The Company is required to provide the new disclosures beginning with the December 31, 2027 Consolidated Financial Statements and on a quarterly basis beginning with the March 31, 2028 interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The new guidance will be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application or early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the disclosure impact of the new guidance; however, it will not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

**Internally Developed Software Costs**

The FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for internally developed software costs. Under the new guidance, costs associated with software developed for internal use will now be capitalized when management authorizes a project and when it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended, rather than when a project reaches the application development stage under existing guidance. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of adopting this new accounting standard, but does not expect the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are as follows:

**Revenue Recognition**

**Premium Revenue from Direct Insurance and Assumed Reinsurance**

Property and casualty premiums are earned on a pro rata basis over the policy period and include accruals for policies that have been written by agents but not yet reported to us, as well as ultimate premium revenue anticipated under auditable and retrospectively rated policies. We estimate the amount of premium not yet reported based on current and historical trends of the business being written. Such estimates are regularly reviewed and updated and any resulting adjustments are included in the current year's results. Unearned premiums

represent the premiums applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force, or period of risk.

Group life, disability and accident premiums are generally due from policyholders, and recognized as revenue, on a pro rata basis over the period of the contracts.

An estimated ACL is recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from insureds and considering historical credit loss information, adjusted for current economic conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The Company records total credit loss expenses related to premiums receivable in insurance operating costs and other expenses. Write-offs of premiums receivable and agents' balances and any related ACL are recorded in the period in which the balance is deemed uncollectible. Refer to Note 7 - Premiums Receivable and Agents' Balances for further discussion regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts included in premiums receivable and agents' balances.

**Non-Insurance Revenue from Contracts with Customers**

Installment fees are charged on property and casualty insurance contracts for billing the insurance customer in installments over the policy term. These fees are recognized in fee income as earned on collection.

Insurance servicing revenues within Personal Insurance consist of up-front commissions earned for collecting premiums and processing claims on insurance policies for which The Hartford does not assume underwriting risk, predominantly related to the National Flood Insurance Plan program. These insurance servicing revenues are recognized in other revenues over the period of the flood program's policy terms.

Employee Benefits earns fee income from employers for the administration of underwriting, implementation and claims processing for employer self-funded plans and for leave management services. Fees are recognized as services are provided and collected monthly.

Hartford Funds provides investment management, administrative and distribution services to mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The Company assesses investment advisory, distribution and other asset management fees primarily based on the average daily net asset values from mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, which are recorded in the period in which the services are provided and are collected monthly. Fluctuations in domestic and international markets and related investment performance, volume and mix of sales and redemptions of mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, and other changes to the composition of assets under management ("AUM") are all factors that ultimately have a direct effect on fee income earned.

Corporate investment management and other fees are primarily for managing third party invested assets. These fees, calculated based on the average quarterly net asset values, are recorded in the period in which the services are provided and are collected quarterly. Fluctuations in markets and interest rates and other changes to the composition of assets under management are all factors that ultimately have a direct effect on fee income earned.

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**Dividends to Policyholders**

Policyholder dividends are paid to certain property and casualty policyholders. Policies that receive dividends are referred to as participating policies. Participating dividends to policyholders are accrued and reported in insurance operating costs and other expenses and other liabilities using an estimate of the amount to be paid based on underlying contractual obligations under policies and applicable state laws.

Net written premiums for participating property and casualty insurance policies represented 5%, 6%, and 6% of total net written premiums for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Participating dividends to property and casualty policyholders were $44, $39 and $39 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

There were no additional amounts of income allocated to participating policyholders.

**Investments**

**Overview**

The Company's investments in fixed maturities consist of bonds, including structured securities, and redeemable preferred stock. Most of these investments are classified as AFS and are carried at fair value. The after tax difference between fair value and cost or amortized cost is reflected in stockholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Fixed maturities for which the Company elected the fair value option are classified as FVO and are carried at fair value with changes in value recorded in net realized gains and losses. These investments represent certain investments in residual interests of securitizations and other securities that contain embedded credit derivatives. Equity securities are measured at fair value with any changes in valuation reported in net realized gains and losses. Mortgage loans are recorded at the outstanding principal balance adjusted for amortization of premiums or discounts and net of an ACL. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Limited partnerships and other alternative investments are reported at their carrying value and are primarily accounted for under the equity method with the Company's share of earnings included in net investment income. Recognition of income related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments is delayed due to the availability of the related financial information, as private equity and other funds are generally received on a three-month delay. Accordingly, income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 may not include the full impact of current year changes in valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities of the funds, which are generally obtained from the limited partnerships. Other investments primarily consist of equity fund investments measured at fair value, overseas deposits which are measured at fair value using the net asset value as a practical expedient, consolidated investment funds for which the Company has provided seed money and reports the underlying investments at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in income consistent with accounting requirements

for investment companies, and derivative instruments which are carried at fair value.

**Net Realized Gains and Losses**

Net realized gains and losses from investment sales are reported as a component of revenues and are determined on a specific identification basis. Net realized gains and losses also result from fair value changes in equity securities, FVO securities, and derivatives contracts that do not qualify, or are not designated, as a hedge for accounting purposes. The Company records net credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS and changes in the ACL on mortgage loans as a component of net realized gains and losses. Future changes in the ACL resulting from improvements in expected future cash flows are recorded through net realized gains and losses.

**Net Investment Income**

Interest income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans is recognized when earned on the constant effective yield method based on the estimated timing of cash flows. Most premiums and discounts on fixed maturities are amortized to the maturity date. Premiums on callable bonds may be amortized to call dates based on call prices. For structured financial assets subject to prepayment risk, yields are recalculated and adjusted periodically to reflect historical and/or estimated future prepayments using the retrospective method. For certain other structured securities, including securities that previously had an ACL and interest only securities, any yield adjustments are made using the prospective method. Prepayment fees and make-whole payments on fixed maturities and mortgage loans are recorded in net investment income when earned. For equity securities, dividends are recognized as investment income on the ex-dividend date. Limited partnerships and other alternative investments primarily use the equity method of accounting to recognize the Company's share of earnings. For fixed maturities with an ACL, net investment income is recognized at the original effective rate and accretion of the ACL is recognized through net realized gains and losses. The Company's non-income producing investments were not material for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**Accrued Investment Income**

Accrued investment income primarily includes accruals of interest and dividend income from investments that have been earned but not yet received.

**Derivative Instruments**

**Overview**

The Company utilizes a variety of over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives, derivatives cleared through central clearing houses ("OTC-cleared") and exchange traded derivative instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy as well as to engage in income generation covered call transactions and replication transactions. The types of instruments may include swaps,

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

caps, floors, forwards, futures and options to achieve the following Company-approved objectives:

• to hedge risk arising from interest rate, equity market, credit spread and issuer default, price or currency exchange rates or volatility;

• to manage liquidity;

• to control transaction costs; and

• to enter into income generation covered call transactions and synthetic replication transactions.

Interest rate and credit default swaps involve the periodic exchange of cash flows with other parties, at specified intervals, calculated using agreed upon rates or other financial variables and notional principal amounts. Generally, little to no cash or principal payments are exchanged at the inception of the contract. Typically, at the time a swap is entered into, the cash flow streams exchanged by the counterparties are equal in value.

The Company clears certain interest rate swap and credit default swap derivative transactions through central clearing houses. OTC-cleared derivatives require initial collateral at the inception of the trade in the form of cash or highly liquid securities, such as U.S. Treasuries and government agency investments. Central clearing houses also require additional cash as variation margin based on daily market value movements. For information on collateral, see the Derivative Collateral Arrangements section in Note 6 - Derivatives. In addition, OTC-cleared transactions include price alignment amounts either received or paid on the variation margin, which is characterized as interest and reflected in net investment income.

Forward contracts are customized commitments that specify a rate of interest or currency exchange rate to be paid or received on an obligation beginning on a future start date and are typically settled in cash.

Financial futures are standardized commitments to either purchase or sell designated financial instruments, at a future date, for a specified price and may be settled in cash or through delivery of the underlying instrument. Futures contracts trade on organized exchanges. Margin requirements for futures are met by pledging securities or cash, and changes in the futures' contract values are settled daily in cash.

Option contracts grant the purchaser, for a premium payment, the right to either purchase from or sell to the issuer a financial instrument at a specified price, within a specified period or on a stated date. Option contracts are typically settled in cash.

Foreign currency swaps exchange an initial principal amount in two currencies, agreeing to re-exchange the currencies at a future date, at an agreed upon exchange rate. There may also be a periodic exchange of payments at specified intervals calculated using the agreed upon rates and exchanged principal amounts.

The Company's derivative transactions conducted in insurance company subsidiaries are used in strategies permitted under the

derivative use plans required by the State of Connecticut, the State of Illinois and the State of New York insurance regulators.

**Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities**

Derivative instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are reported in Other Investments and Other Liabilities. For balance sheet presentation purposes, the Company has elected to offset the fair value amounts, income accruals, and related cash collateral receivables and payables of OTC derivative instruments executed in a legal entity and with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset.

On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability ("fair value" hedge), (2) a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a forecasted transaction or of amounts to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability ("cash flow" hedge), (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment" hedge) or (4) held for other investment and/or risk management purposes, which primarily involve managing asset or liability related risks and do not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company currently does not designate any derivatives as fair value or net investment hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges - Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, including foreign-currency cash flow hedges, are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings when the variability of the cash flow of the hedged item impacts earnings. Gains and losses on derivative contracts that are reclassified from AOCI to current period earnings are included in the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the cash flows of the hedged item are recorded. Periodic derivative net coupon settlements are recorded in the line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the cash flows of the hedged item are recorded. Cash flows from cash flow hedges are presented in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Other Investment and/or Risk Management Activities - The Company's other investment and/or risk management activities primarily relate to strategies used to reduce economic risk or replicate permitted investments and do not receive hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value, including periodic derivative net coupon settlements, of derivative instruments held for other investment and/or risk management purposes are reported in current period earnings as net realized gains and losses.

**Hedge Documentation and Effectiveness Testing**

To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, a derivative must be highly effective in mitigating the designated changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. At hedge inception, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. The documentation process includes linking derivatives that are designated as fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedges to

The Company also formally assesses both at the hedge's inception and ongoing on a quarterly basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and are expected to continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values, cash flows or net investment in foreign operations of hedged items. Hedge effectiveness is assessed primarily using quantitative methods as well as using qualitative methods. Quantitative methods include regression or other statistical analysis of changes in fair value or cash flows associated with the hedge relationship. Qualitative methods may include comparison of critical terms of the derivative to the hedged item.

**Discontinuance of Hedge Accounting**

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it is determined that the qualifying criteria are no longer met; (2) the derivative is no longer designated as a hedging instrument; or (3) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised.

When cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued because the Company becomes aware that it is not probable that the forecasted transaction will occur, the derivative continues to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in AOCI are recognized immediately in earnings.

In other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, including those where the derivative is sold, terminated or exercised, amounts previously deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings when earnings are impacted by the hedged item.

**Embedded Derivatives**

The Company may purchase investments that contain embedded derivative instruments. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host for measurement purposes. The embedded derivative, which is reported with the host instrument in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net realized gains and losses.

**Credit Risk of Derivative Instruments**

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss due to uncertainty of an obligor's or counterparty's ability or willingness to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed upon terms. Credit exposures are measured using the market value of the derivatives, resulting in amounts owed to the Company by its counterparties or potential payment obligations from the Company to its counterparties. The Company generally requires that OTC derivative contracts be governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements which are structured by legal entity and by counterparty, and permit right of offset. Some agreements require daily collateral settlement based upon agreed upon thresholds. For purposes of daily derivative collateral maintenance, credit exposures are generally quantified based on the prior business day's market value and collateral is pledged to and held by, or on behalf of,

the Company to the extent the current value of the derivatives is greater than zero, subject to minimum transfer thresholds, if applicable. The Company also minimizes the credit risk of derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties primarily rated A or better, which are monitored and evaluated by the Company's risk management team and reviewed by senior management. OTC-cleared derivatives are governed by clearing house rules. Transactions cleared through a central clearing house reduce risk due to their ability to require daily variation margin and act as an independent valuation source. In addition, the Company monitors counterparty credit exposure on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with Company policies and statutory limitations.

**Cash and Restricted Cash**

Cash represents cash on hand and demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. Restrictions on cash primarily relate to funds that are held to support regulatory and contractual obligations.

**Reinsurance**

The Company cedes insurance to other insurers in order to limit its maximum losses, to diversify its exposures and provide statutory surplus relief. Such arrangements do not relieve the Company of its primary liability to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company also assumes reinsurance from other insurers and is a member of and participates in reinsurance pools and associations. Assumed reinsurance refers to the Company's acceptance of certain insurance risks that other insurance companies or pools have underwritten.

Reinsurance accounting is followed for ceded and assumed transactions that provide indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk (i.e., risk transfer). To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance agreement must include insurance risk, consisting of underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss to the reinsurer. If the ceded and assumed transactions do not meet risk transfer requirements, the Company accounts for these transactions as deposit transactions. The Company had no deposit liability as of December 31, 2025 or and 2024 reported in other liabilities.

Premiums, benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses reflect the net effects of ceded and assumed reinsurance transactions. Included in other assets are prepaid reinsurance premiums, which represent the portion of premiums ceded to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reinsurance recoverables are balances due from reinsurers for ceded paid and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. Changes in the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance are reported in benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its reinsurance recoverable assets and establishes an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance reflects management's best estimate of reinsurance cessions that may be uncollectible in the future due to reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to pay. The allowance for

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

uncollectible reinsurance comprises an ACL and an allowance for disputed balances. Based on this analysis, the Company may adjust the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance or charge off reinsurer balances that are determined to be uncollectible. The Company records credit losses related to reinsurance recoverables in benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses. Write-offs of reinsurance recoverables and any related ACL are recorded in the period in which the balance is deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries are included in the estimate of the ACL.

Retroactive reinsurance agreements, including adverse development covers ("ADC"), are reinsurance agreements under which our reinsurer agrees to reimburse us as a result of loss development related to past insurable events. For these agreements, the consideration paid in excess of the estimated ultimate losses to be recovered under the agreement at inception is recognized as a loss on reinsurance transaction. The benefit of subsequent adverse development ceded up to the total consideration paid is recognized as ceded losses, which are a reduction of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses. The excess of the estimated amounts ultimately to be recovered under the agreement over the consideration paid is recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the period the ceded losses are recovered in cash from the reinsurer. The amount of the deferred gain liability is recalculated each period based on cumulative recoveries not yet collected relative to the latest estimate of ultimate losses to be recovered. Ceded loss reserves under retroactive agreements were $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, and the deferred gain liability reported in other liabilities was $850 and $914, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In any given period, the change in deferred gain included in net income includes amortization of the deferred gain based on the percentage of ultimate ceded losses collected plus any change in the deferred gain liability due to changes in the estimated ultimate losses to be recovered. The effect on income from change in the deferred gain was a net charge or (benefit) to earnings of $(64), $(83) and $194 before tax for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively.

**Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs**

DAC represents costs that are directly related to the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts and incremental direct costs of contract acquisition that are incurred in transactions with independent third parties or in compensation to employees. Such costs primarily include commissions, premium taxes, costs and certain other expenses that are directly related to successfully issued contracts, including a portion of policy issuance and underwriting costs.

For P&C insurance products and group life, disability and accident contracts, costs are deferred and amortized ratably over the period the related premiums are earned. Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed to determine if they are recoverable from future income, and if not, are charged to expense. Anticipated investment income is considered in the determination of the recoverability of DAC.

**Income Taxes**

The Company recognizes taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax

basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A deferred tax provision is recorded for the tax effects of temporary differences between the Company's current taxable income and its income before tax under generally accepted accounting principles in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For deferred tax assets, the Company records a valuation allowance that is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

**Goodwill**

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost to acquire a business over the acquisition date fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that a triggering event for a potential impairment has occurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Goodwill is impaired up to the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company's reporting units, for which goodwill has been allocated consist of Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Employee Benefits, and Hartford Funds.

Management's determination of the fair value of each reporting unit incorporates multiple inputs into discounted cash flow calculations, including assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the reporting unit. Assumptions include levels of economic capital required to support the business, future business growth, earnings projections, the weighted average cost of capital used for purposes of discounting and, for the Hartford Funds segment, assets under management. Decreases in business growth, decreases in earnings projections and increases in the weighted average cost of capital will all cause a reporting unit's fair value to decrease, increasing the possibility of impairments.

**Intangible Assets**

Acquired intangible assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets include purchased customer relationship and agency or other distribution rights and licenses measured at fair value at acquisition. The Company amortizes finite-lived other intangible assets over their useful lives generally on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit, ranging from 1 to 15 years. Management revises amortization periods if it believes there has been a change in the length of time that an intangible asset will continue to have value. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization. Intangible assets are assessed for impairment generally when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment and at least annually for indefinite-lived intangibles. Finite-lived intangible assets are impaired if the carrying amount is not recoverable from undiscounted cash flows. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired if the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Impaired intangible assets are written down to fair value.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment, which includes capitalized software and right-of-use lease assets, is carried at cost net of

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of property and equipment and is recognized principally on the straight-line method. Accumulated depreciation was $2.6 billion and $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Depreciation expense was $187, $177, and $204 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is reported in insurance operating costs and other expenses. The costs to access and develop hosted software arrangements, where The Hartford has the right to access and use the software, but not take possession, and the cost of certain software licenses are reported in other assets on a straight-line basis over the service period. Amortization of hosted software and certain software licenses was $131, $108, and $85 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is reported in insurance operating costs and other expenses.

**Leases**

Leases are classified as financing or operating leases. Where the lease is economically similar to a purchase because The Hartford obtains control of the underlying asset, the lease is classified as a financing lease and the Company recognizes amortization of the right of use asset and interest expense on the liability. Where the lease is not economically similar to a purchase as the lease provides The Hartford with only the right to control the use of the underlying asset over the lease term and the lease term is greater than one year, the lease is an operating lease and the lease cost is recognized as rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Leases with a term of one year or less are also expensed over the lease term but not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses**

For property and casualty and group life, disability and accident insurance and assumed reinsurance products, the Company establishes reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses to provide for the estimated costs of paying claims under insurance policies written by the Company. These reserves include estimates for both claims that have been reported and those that have not yet been reported, and include estimates of all losses and loss adjustment expenses associated with processing and settling these claims. Estimating the ultimate cost of future losses and loss adjustment expenses is an uncertain and complex process. This estimation process is based significantly on the assumption that past developments are an appropriate predictor of future events, and involves a variety of actuarial techniques that analyze experience, trends and other relevant factors. The effects of inflation are implicitly considered in the reserving process. In addition, a number of complex factors influence the uncertainties involved with the reserving process including social and economic trends and changes in the concepts of legal liability and damage awards. Accordingly, final claim settlements may vary from the present estimates, particularly when those payments may not occur until well into the future. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its estimated losses and loss adjustment expense reserves by reserve line within the various reportable segments. Adjustments to previously established reserves are reflected in the operating results of the period in which the adjustment is

determined to be necessary. Such adjustments could possibly be significant, reflecting any variety of new and adverse or favorable trends.

Most of the Company's property and casualty insurance products reserves are not discounted. However, the Company has discounted to present value certain reserves for indemnity payments that are due to claimants under workers' compensation policies because the payment pattern and the ultimate costs are reasonably fixed and determinable on an individual claim basis. The discount rate is based on the risk free rate for the expected claim duration as determined in the year the claims were incurred. The Company also has discounted liabilities for structured settlement agreements that provide fixed periodic payments to claimants. These structured settlements include annuities purchased to fund unpaid losses for permanently disabled claimants. These structured settlement liabilities are discounted to present value using the rate implicit in the purchased annuities and the purchased annuities are accounted for within reinsurance recoverables.

Group life and disability contracts with long-tail claim liabilities are discounted because the payment pattern and the ultimate costs are reasonably fixed and determinable on an individual claim basis. The discount rates are estimated based on investment yields expected to be earned on the cash flows net of investment expenses and expected credit losses. The Company establishes discount rates for these reserves in the year the claims are incurred (the incurral year) which is when the estimated settlement pattern is determined. The discount rate for life and disability reserves acquired from Aetna's U.S. group life and disability business were based on interest rates in effect at the acquisition date of November 1, 2017.

For further information about how unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are established, see Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.

**Reserve for Future Policy Benefits**

The Company's reserves for future policy benefits includes paid-up life insurance and whole-life policies resulting from conversion from group life policies included within the Employee Benefits segment and reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, which are reported in the Corporate category.

Contracts are grouped into cohorts by contract type and issue year. The Company establishes reserves for future policy benefits using the net premium approach, which represents the present value of future policyholder benefits and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. Net premiums are calculated by multiplying gross premiums for the contracts in a specific cohort by a net premium ratio. The net premium ratio is determined for the lifetime of a given cohort as the present value of net benefits divided by the present value of gross premiums. Related expenses include termination and settlement costs and exclude acquisition costs and non-claim related costs, such as costs relating to investments, general administration, policy maintenance, product development, market research and general overhead or any other costs, which are expensed as incurred.

The Company estimates premiums, benefits and related expense cash flows using methods that include assumptions,

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

such as estimates of mortality, lapse, and claim-related expenses, and the possible impact of inflation on those expenses. Benefits include all guaranteed cash flows to be paid to the policyholder.

The reserve for future policy benefits is adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimates of cash flows expected over the life of a group of contracts using actual historical experience. These updated cash flows are used to calculate the revised net premiums and net premium ratio, which are used to derive an updated reserve for future policy benefits. In subsequent periods, the revised net premiums are used to measure the reserve for future policy benefits, subject to future revisions. Future cash flow assumptions, including mortality, lapse and expense are reviewed and, if a change is indicated, updated at least annually in the third quarter.

The difference between the newly calculated reserve balance and the reserve balance before updating for actual experience and/or future cash flow assumptions is the remeasurement gain or loss, which is immaterial for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, and is presented in benefits losses and loss adjustments expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes to the reserve due to updates to cash flow assumptions, discounted at the discount rate used when each annual cohort was established, are recognized on a catch-up basis in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The discount rate assumption is an equivalent single rate that is based on a current market observable, upper-medium grade fixed maturity yield. This has been interpreted to represent a

yield based on single-A credit rated fixed maturity instruments with similar duration to the liability. The Company uses the yield of a market observable index of single-A credit rated fixed maturities as the basis for setting the discount rate. The discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and the change in the reserve estimate resulting from updating the discount rate assumption is recognized in other comprehensive income.

**Treasury Stock**

Treasury stock is the cost of common stock repurchased, which includes the purchase price of shares acquired and direct costs to acquire shares, including commissions and excise taxes. Issuance and retirement of treasury stock is recognized at the average cost of shares held in treasury.

**Foreign Currency**

Foreign currency translation gains and losses are reflected in stockholders' equity as a component of AOCI. The Company's foreign subsidiaries' balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rates in effect at each year end and income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The national currencies of the international operations are generally their functional currencies; however, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate"), for which the Company is the sole corporate member. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions are reflected in earnings in net realized gains (losses) in the period in which they occur.

Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of stock-based awards under compensation plans.Under the treasury stock method, for stock-based awards, shares are assumed to be issued and then reduced for the number of shares repurchasable with theoretical proceeds at the average market price for the period. Contingently issuable shares are included for the number of shares issuable assuming the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, if dilutive.

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**3. Segment Information**

The Company currently conducts business principally in five reportable segments including Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Property & Casualty Other Operations, Employee Benefits and Hartford Funds, as well as a Corporate category. The reportable segments are described below and align with the Company's key product and service offerings. Over 95% of the Company's revenues are generated in the United States ("U.S."). The remaining revenues are generated in the U.K. and other international locations.

We report our results of operations consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews the business, assesses performance, and makes operating decisions on the allocation of resources to each reportable segment. The CODM considers actual results and budget-to-actual variances when assessing segment performance and making decisions on the allocation of resources to each segment. The Company's CODM is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has identified U.S. GAAP net income as the reported measure of segment profit or loss.

The Company's reportable segments, as well as the Corporate category, are as follows:

**Business Insurance**

Business Insurance provides a variety of insurance products and risk management services in the U.S. and internationally to commercial enterprises of varying sizes, with insurance coverages including workers' compensation, property, automobile, general liability, umbrella, package business, professional liability, bond, marine, livestock, accident and health, assumed reinsurance, and other product lines to businesses.

**Personal Insurance**

Personal Insurance provides standard automobile, homeowners and personal umbrella coverages to individuals across the U.S., including a special program designed exclusively for members of AARP through an agreement that is in place through December 31, 2032.

**Property & Casualty Other Operations**

P&C Other Operations includes certain property and casualty operations, managed by the Company, that have discontinued

writing new business and includes substantially all of the Company's asbestos and environmental ("A&E") exposures.

**Employee Benefits**

Employee Benefits provides employers and associations with group life, accident and disability coverage, along with other products and services, including voluntary benefits, and group retiree health.

**Hartford Funds**

Hartford Funds offers investment products for retail and retirement accounts and provides investment management, distribution and administrative services such as product design, implementation and oversight. This business also manages a portion of the mutual funds which support third-party life and annuity separate accounts.

**Corporate**

The Company includes in the Corporate category capital raising activities (including equity financing, debt financing and related interest expense), purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill, reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, restructuring costs, transaction expenses incurred in connection with an acquisition, certain M&A costs, and other expenses not allocated to the reportable segments. Interest expense of $199 on debt for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, is included in the Corporate category. Corporate also includes investment management fees and expenses related to managing third party assets.

**Financial Measures and Other Segment Information**

Certain transactions between segments occur during the year that primarily relate to tax settlements, insurance coverage, expense reimbursements, services provided, investment transfers and capital contributions. In addition, certain inter-segment transactions occur that relate to interest income on allocated surplus. Consolidated net income is unaffected by such transactions.

**4. Fair Value Measurements** 

The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. Our fair value framework includes a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to the use of quoted prices in active markets, followed by the use of market observable inputs, followed by the use of unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:

Level 1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities, in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

Level 2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair values primarily based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, or based on prices for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair values derived when one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). With little or no observable market, the determination of fair values uses considerable judgment and represents the Company's best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability. Also included are securities that are traded within illiquid markets and/or priced by independent brokers.The Company will classify the financial asset or liability by level based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. In most cases, both observable inputs (e.g., changes in interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in risk assumptions) are used to determine fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

*[1]Level 3 includes investments that have contractual sales restrictions that require consent to sell and are in place for the duration that the securities are held by the Company.*

*[2]Includes derivative instruments in a net positive fair value position after consideration of the accrued interest and impact of collateral posting requirements which may be imposed by agreements and applicable law. See footnote [3] to this table for derivative liabilities.*

*[3]Includes derivative instruments in a net negative fair value position (derivative liability) after consideration of the accrued interest and impact of collateral posting requirements which may be imposed by agreements and applicable law.*

The Company has overseas deposits included in other investments of $87 and $61 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are measured at fair value using the net asset value as a practical expedient.

Fixed Maturities, Equity Securities, Short-term Investments, and Derivatives

**Valuation Techniques**

The Company generally determines fair values using valuation techniques that use prices, rates, and other relevant information

evident from market transactions involving identical or similar instruments. Valuation techniques also include, where appropriate, estimates of future cash flows that are converted into a single discounted amount using current market expectations. The Company uses a "waterfall" approach comprised of the following pricing sources and techniques, which are listed in priority order:

• Quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are classified as Level 1.

• Prices from third-party pricing services, which primarily utilize a combination of techniques. These services utilize recently reported trades of identical, similar, or benchmark securities making adjustments for market observable inputs

available through the reporting date. If there are no recently reported trades, they may use a discounted cash flow technique to develop a price using expected cash flows based upon the anticipated future performance of the underlying collateral discounted at an estimated market rate. Both techniques develop prices that consider the time value of future cash flows and provide a margin for risk, including liquidity and credit risk. Most prices provided by third-party pricing services are classified as Level 2 because the inputs used in pricing the securities are observable. However, some securities that are less liquid or trade less actively are classified as Level 3. Additionally, certain long-dated securities include benchmark interest rate or credit spread assumptions that are not observable in the marketplace and are thus classified as Level 3.

• Internal matrix pricing is a valuation process internally developed for private placement securities for which the Company is unable to obtain a price from a third-party pricing service. Internal pricing matrices determine credit spreads that, when combined with risk-free rates, are applied to contractual cash flows to develop a price. The Company develops credit spreads using market based data for public securities adjusted for credit spread differentials between public and private securities, which are obtained from a survey of multiple private placement brokers. The market-based reference credit spread considers the issuer's sector, financial strength, and term to maturity, using an independent public security index, while the credit spread differential considers the non-public nature of the security. Securities priced using internal matrix pricing are classified as Level 2 because the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated with observable data.

• Independent broker quotes, which are typically non-binding, use inputs that can be difficult to corroborate with observable market based data. Brokers may use present value techniques using assumptions specific to the security types, or they may use recent transactions of similar securities. Due to the lack of transparency in the process that brokers use to develop prices, valuations that are based on independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model or option model technique and incorporates counterparty credit risk. In some cases, quoted

market prices for exchange-traded and OTC cleared derivatives may be used and in other cases independent broker quotes may be used. The pricing valuation models primarily use inputs that are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data. The valuation of certain derivatives may include significant inputs that are unobservable, such as volatility levels, and reflect the Company's view of what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments.

**Valuation Controls**

The process for determining the fair value of investments is monitored by the Valuation Committee, which is a cross-functional group of senior management within the Company. The purpose of the Valuation Committee is to provide oversight of the pricing policy, procedures and controls, including approval of valuation methodologies and pricing sources. The Valuation Committee reviews market data trends, pricing statistics and trading statistics to ensure that prices are reasonable and consistent with our fair value framework. Controls and procedures used to assess third-party pricing services are reviewed by the Valuation Committee, including the results of annual due-diligence reviews. Controls include, but are not limited to, reviewing daily and monthly price changes, stale prices, and missing prices and comparing new trade prices to third-party pricing services, weekly price changes to published bond index prices, and daily OTC derivative market valuations to counterparty valuations. The Company has a dedicated pricing group that works with trading and investment professionals to challenge prices received by a third party pricing source if the Company believes that the valuation received does not accurately reflect the fair value. New valuation models and changes to current models require approval by the Valuation Committee. In addition, the Company's enterprise-wide Operational Risk Management function provides an independent review of the suitability and reliability of model inputs, as well as an analysis of significant changes to current models.

**Valuation Inputs**

Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets are considered Level 1 and consist of on-the-run U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, exchange-traded equity securities, open-ended mutual funds, certain short-term investments, and exchange traded derivative instruments.

*[1]The weighted average is determined based on the fair value of the securities.*

*[2]Conversely, the impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact to the fair value as that presented in the table.*

*[3]Excludes securities for which the Company bases fair value on broker quotations.*

*[4]Excludes securities for which the Company bases fair value on broker quotations; however, included are broker priced lower-rated private placement securities for which the Company receives spread and yield information to corroborate the fair value.*

*[5]Decrease for above market rate coupons and increase for below market rate coupons.*

*[6]Generally, a change in the assumption used for the constant default rate would have been accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for constant prepayment rate and would have resulted in wider spreads.*

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair values of the Company's level 3 derivatives were less than $1 for both periods.

The table above excludes certain securities for which fair values are predominately based on independent broker quotes. While the Company does not have access to the significant unobservable inputs that independent brokers may use in their pricing process, the Company believes brokers likely use inputs similar to those used by the Company and third-party pricing services to price similar instruments. As such, in their pricing models, brokers likely use estimated loss severity rates, prepayment rates, constant default rates and credit spreads. Therefore, similar to non-broker priced securities, increases in these inputs would generally cause fair values to decrease. As of December 31, 2025, no significant adjustments were made by the Company to broker prices received.

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected the fair value option for certain investments in residual interests of securitizations and other securities that contain embedded credit derivatives with underlying credit risk related to residential real estate in order to reflect changes in fair value in earnings. These instruments are included within FVO securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the fair value of these investments are reported in net realized gains and losses.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of assets using the fair value option was $168 and $308, respectively, of which $168 and $197, respectively, were residual interests of securitizations.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, net realized gains (losses) related to the change in fair value of assets using the fair value option were $(30), $(5), and $5, respectively.

Proceeds from the sales of fixed maturities, AFS totaled $5.7 billion, $5.7 billion, and $3.8 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Sales of fixed maturities, AFS in 2025 were primarily a result of tactical changes to the portfolio driven by changing market conditions, in addition to duration and liquidity management. Non-cash investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, included $17 related to the exchange of equity securities for limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Non-cash investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, included $18 related to the exchange of short-term investments for equity securities.

**Accrued Investment Income on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Mortgage Loans**

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company reported accrued investment income related to fixed maturities, AFS of $439 and $412, respectively, and accrued investment income related to mortgage loans of $25 and $22, respectively. These amounts are not included in the carrying value of the fixed maturities or mortgage loans. Investment income on fixed maturities and mortgage loans is accrued unless it is past due over 90 days or management deems the interest uncollectible. The Company does not include the current accrued investment income balance when estimating the ACL. The Company has a policy to write-off accrued investment income balances that are more than 90 days past due. Write-offs of accrued investment income are recorded as a credit loss component of net realized gains and losses.

**Recognition and Presentation of Intent-to-Sell Impairments and ACL on Fixed Maturities, AFS**

The Company will record an "intent-to-sell impairment" as a reduction to the amortized cost of fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position if the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity before a recovery in value. A corresponding charge is recorded in net realized losses equal to the difference between the fair value on the impairment date and the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity before recognizing the impairment.

For fixed maturities where a credit loss has been identified and no intent-to-sell impairment has been recorded, the Company will record an ACL for the portion of the unrealized loss related to the credit loss. Any remaining unrealized loss on a fixed maturity after recording an ACL is the non-credit amount and is recorded in OCI. The ACL is the excess of the amortized cost over the greater of the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows or the security's fair value. Cash flows are discounted at the effective yield that is used to record interest income. The ACL cannot exceed the unrealized loss and, therefore, it may fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the fixed maturity if the fair value is greater than the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows. The initial ACL and any subsequent changes are recorded in net realized gains and losses. The ACL is written off against the amortized cost in the period in which all or a portion of the related fixed maturity is determined to be uncollectible.

Developing the Company's best estimate of expected future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions regarding the future performance. The Company's considerations include, but are not limited to, (a) changes in the financial condition of the issuer and/or the underlying collateral, (b) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (c) credit ratings, (d) payment structure of the security and (e) the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security.

For non-structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, economic and industry-specific trends and fundamentals, instrument-specific developments including changes in credit ratings, industry earnings multiples and the issuer's ability to restructure, access capital markets, and execute asset sales.

For structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, various performance indicators such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current and projected delinquency rates, loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios, average cumulative collateral loss rates that vary by vintage year, prepayment speeds, and property value declines. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value.

Estimated maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment provisions. Due to the potential for variability in payment speeds (i.e., prepayments or extensions), mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are not categorized by contractual maturity.

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

The Company aims to maintain a diversified investment portfolio including issuer, sector and geographic stratification, where applicable, and has established certain exposure limits, diversification standards and review procedures to mitigate credit risk. The Company had no investment exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer greater than 10% of the Company's stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2025, or December 31, 2024, other than U.S. government securities and certain U.S. government agencies.

As of December 31, 2025, other than U.S. government securities and certain U.S. government agencies, the Company's three largest exposures by issuer were Morgan Stanley, SPCC Funding I LLC, and the Entergy Corporation, each of which comprised less than 1% of total invested assets. As of December 31, 2024, other than U.S. government securities and certain U.S. government agencies, the Company's three largest exposures by issuer were NextEra Energy Inc., Morgan Stanley, and the Government of Canada, each of which comprised less than 1% of total invested assets. The Company's three largest exposures by sector as of December 31, 2025, were the financial services sector, the RMBS sector, and the municipal sector, which comprised approximately 11%, 10%, and 7%, respectively, of total invested assets. The Company's three largest exposures by sector as of December 31, 2024, were the financial services sector, the municipal sector, and the RMBS sector, which comprised approximately 11%, 9%, and 9%, respectively, of total invested assets.

---

As of December 31, 2025, fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position consisted of 2,659 instruments and were primarily depressed due to higher interest rates and/or wider credit spreads since the purchase date. As of December 31, 2025, 94% of these fixed maturities were depressed less than 20% of cost or amortized cost. The decrease in total gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to lower interest rates.Most of the fixed maturities depressed for twelve months or more relate to the corporate sector, municipal bonds, and RMBS, which were primarily depressed because current rates are higher and/or market spreads are wider than at the respective purchase dates. The Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the fixed maturities outlined in the preceding discussion. The decision to record credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS in the form of an ACL requires us to make qualitative and quantitative estimates of expected future cash flows.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

Mortgage Loans

**ACL on Mortgage Loans**

The Company reviews mortgage loans on a quarterly basis to estimate the ACL with changes in the ACL recorded in net realized gains and losses. Apart from an ACL recorded on individual mortgage loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company records an ACL on the pool of mortgage loans based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Company utilizes a third-party forecasting model to estimate lifetime expected credit losses at a loan level under multiple economic scenarios. The scenarios use macroeconomic data provided by an internationally recognized economics firm that generates forecasts of varying economic factors such as GDP growth, unemployment and interest rates. The economic scenarios are projected over 10 years. The first two to four years of the 10-year period assume a specific modeled economic scenario (including moderate upside, moderate recession and severe recession scenarios) and then revert to historical long-term assumptions over the remaining period. Using these economic scenarios, the forecasting model projects property-specific operating income and capitalization rates used to estimate the value of a future operating income stream. The operating income and the property valuations derived from capitalization rates are compared to loan payment and principal amounts to create debt service coverage ratios ("DSCRs") and LTVs over the forecast period. The Company's process also considers qualitative factors. The model overlays historical data about mortgage loan performance based on DSCRs and LTVs and projects the probability of default, amount of loss given a default and resulting expected loss through maturity for each loan under each economic scenario. Economic scenarios are probability-weighted based on a statistical analysis of the forecasted economic factors and qualitative analysis. The Company records the change in the ACL on mortgage loans based on the weighted-average expected credit losses across the selected economic scenarios.

When a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, including when foreclosure is probable, the Company measures an ACL on individual mortgage loans. The ACL is established for any shortfall between the amortized cost of the loan and the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. Estimates of collectibility from an individual borrower require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability and timing of

borrower default and loss severity estimates. In addition, cash flow projections may change based upon new information about the borrower's ability to pay and/or the value of underlying collateral such as changes in projected property value estimates. During the period in which all or a portion of the mortgage loan is determined to be uncollectible, the ACL is written off against the amortized cost.

There were no mortgage loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had no mortgage loans that have had extensions or restructurings other than what is allowable under the original terms of the contract or with borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. For the year ended December 31, 2024, one office property mortgage loan with an amortized cost of $9 was granted a term extension of three years at the original rate, which is a below-market rate, with a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The modified loan represents less than 1% of the mortgage loan portfolio and is current and performing in conjunction with the modified terms.

The weighted-average LTV ratio of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio was 56% as of December 31, 2025, while the weighted-average LTV ratio at origination of these loans was 58%. LTV ratios compare the loan amount to the value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan with property values based on appraisals updated no less than annually. Factors considered in estimating property values include, among other things, actual and expected property cash flows, geographic market data and the ratio of the property's net operating income to its value. DSCR compares a property's net operating income to the borrower's principal and interest payments and are updated no less than annually through reviews of underlying properties.

**Past-Due Mortgage Loans**

Mortgage loans are considered past due if a payment of principal or interest is not received according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, which typically includes a grace period. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held no mortgage loans considered past due.

**Mortgage Servicing**

The Company originates, sells, and services commercial mortgage loans on behalf of third parties and recognizes servicing fee income over the period that services are performed. As of December 31, 2025, under this program, the Company serviced mortgage loans with a total outstanding principal of $10.4 billion, of which $4.8 billion was serviced on behalf of third parties and $5.6 billion was retained and reported in total investments on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company serviced mortgage loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $10.0 billion, of which $4.8 billion was serviced on behalf of third parties and $5.2 billion was retained and reported in total investments on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and were $0 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, because servicing fees were market-level fees at origination and remain adequate to compensate the Company for servicing the loans.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company is engaged with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") primarily as an investor through normal investment activities or, at times, as an investment manager.

A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as simple majority kick-out rights, or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the Company's assessment, if it

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

determines it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Consolidated VIEs**

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not hold any securities for which it is the primary beneficiary.

**Non-Consolidated VIEs**

The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments. For these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is limited to the total carrying value of $4.0 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, which are a portion of the investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets that are primarily recorded using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, whereby the Company is committed to fund these investments and may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. These investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in management.

Furthermore, the Company makes investments in entities that sponsor affordable housing projects. Similarly, for these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. The Company applies the proportional amortization method to subsequently measure its investments in such qualified affordable housing projects, where costs are amortized over the period in which the investor expects to receive tax credits and the resulting amortization is recognized as a component of income tax expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized amortization of $13, $2, and $1 respectively, and related tax benefits of $24, $8, and $1, respectively. The income tax credits and other income tax benefits are recognized in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The carrying value of these investments, which are reported in other assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets was $121 and $51 as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has outstanding commitments related to affordable housing projects of $259 and $267, respectively, that are contingent on various conditions precedent to funding.

In addition, the Company makes passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which the Company is not the manager. These investments are included in ABS, CLOs, CMBS, and RMBS and are reported in fixed maturities, AFS, and FVO securities, on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its

original investment. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of the Company's investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs, the Company's inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs, and, where applicable, the level of credit subordination which reduces the Company's obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits. The Company's maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of the Company's investment.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold $86 of fixed maturities, AFS for a net realized loss of less than $1 to a CLO issued by a VIE. The Company then purchased $24 of fixed maturities, AFS and $50 of FVO securities from the VIE issuer. These investments are valued based on unobservable inputs and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE issuer as it has no ability to direct the activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the securitization.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Other Collateral Transactions and Restricted Investments

**Reverse Repurchase Agreements**

From time to time, the Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements where the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same or substantially the same securities. The maturity of these transactions is generally within one year. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred to the Company under specified conditions and the Company has the right to sell or re-pledge the securities received. The Company accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company reported $87 and $0, respectively, within short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets representing a receivable for the amount of cash transferred to purchase the securities.

**Other Collateral Transactions**

For disclosure of collateral in support of derivative transactions, refer to the Derivative Collateral Arrangements section in Note 6 - Derivatives of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Other Restricted Investments**

The Company is required by law to deposit securities with government agencies in certain states in which it conducts business. In addition, the Company is required to hold fixed maturities and short-term investments in trust for the benefit of syndicate policyholders, hold fixed maturities in a Lloyd's of London ("Lloyd's") trust account to provide a portion of the required capital, and maintain other investments primarily consisting of overseas deposits in various countries with Lloyd's to support underwriting activities in those countries. Lloyd's is an insurance market-place operating worldwide. Lloyd's does not underwrite risks. The Company accepts risks as the sole member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate").

The following table presents the components of the Company's exposure to other restricted investments.

Equity Method Investments

The majority of the Company's investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments, including real estate joint ventures, real estate funds, private equity funds, and other funds (collectively, "limited partnerships"), are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The remainder of investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments consists of investments in insurer-owned life insurance accounted for at cash surrender value.

Equity method income is reported in net investment income, except amounts related to strategic investments classified in other assets which are reported in other revenues. For investments accounted for under the equity method, the Company's maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2025 is limited to the total carrying value of $5.3 billion. In addition, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $2.6 billion to fund limited partnership investments as of December 31, 2025. The Company's investments accounted for under the equity method are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in the management.

For the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 aggregate investment income from investments accounted for under the equity method did not exceed 10% of the Company's before tax consolidated net income. For the period ended December 31, 2023 aggregate investment income from investments accounted for under the equity method exceeded 10% of the Company's before tax consolidated net income. Accordingly, the Company is disclosing aggregated, summarized financial data for the Company's investments accounted for under the equity method based on the most recently available information. This aggregated, summarized financial data does not represent the Company's proportionate share of investees' assets or earnings.

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**6. Derivatives**

The Company utilizes a variety of OTC, OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivative instruments as a part of its overall risk management strategy as well as to enter into replication transactions or income generation covered call transactions. Derivative instruments are used to manage risk associated with interest rate, equity market, credit spread, issuer default, price, and currency exchange rate or volatility. Replication transactions are used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company's investment policies.

Strategies that Qualify for Hedge Accounting

Some of the Company's derivatives satisfy hedge accounting requirements as outlined in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. Typically, these hedging instruments include interest rate swaps and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency swaps where the terms or expected cash flows of the hedged item closely match the terms of the swap.

**Cash Flow Hedges**

Interest rate swaps are predominantly used to manage portfolio duration and better match cash receipts from assets with cash disbursements required to fund liabilities. These derivatives primarily convert interest receipts on variable-rate fixed maturity securities to fixed rates. The Company has also entered into interest rate swaps to convert the variable interest payments on the $500 junior subordinated debentures due 2067 to fixed interest payments. For further information, see the Junior Subordinated Debentures section within Note 13 - Debt.

Foreign currency swaps are used to convert foreign currency-denominated cash flows related to certain investment receipts to U.S. dollars in order to reduce cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency rates.

Non-qualifying Strategies

Derivative relationships that do not qualify for hedge accounting ("non-qualifying strategies") primarily include hedges of interest rate, foreign currency, and equity risk of certain fixed maturities and equities. In addition, hedging and replication strategies that utilize credit default swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting. The non-qualifying strategies include:

**Credit Contracts**

Credit default swaps are used to purchase credit protection on an individual entity or referenced index to economically hedge against default risk and credit-related changes in the value of

fixed maturity securities. Credit default swaps are also used to assume credit risk related to an individual entity or referenced index as a part of replication transactions. These contracts require the Company to pay or receive a periodic fee in exchange for compensation from the counterparty or the Company should the referenced security issuers experience a credit event, as defined in the contract. The Company also enters into credit default swaps to terminate existing credit default swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward.

**Interest Rate Swaps and Futures**

The Company uses interest rate swaps and, to a lesser extent, futures to manage interest rate duration between assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to terminate existing swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the notional amount of interest rate swaps in offsetting relationships was $333 and $344, respectively.

**Foreign Currency Swaps**

The Company enters into foreign currency swaps to convert the foreign currency exposures of certain foreign currency-denominated fixed maturity investments to U.S. dollars.

**Equity Index Options**

The Company enters into equity index options to hedge the impact of a decline in the equity markets on the investment portfolio.

Derivative Balance Sheet Classification

For reporting purposes, the Company has elected to offset within assets or liabilities based upon the net of the fair value amounts, income accruals, and related cash collateral receivables and payables of OTC derivative instruments executed in a legal entity and with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset. The following fair value amounts do not include income accruals or related cash collateral receivables and payables, which are netted with derivative fair value amounts to determine balance sheet presentation. The Company's derivative instruments are held for risk management purposes, unless otherwise noted in the following table. The notional amount of derivative contracts represents the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and is presented in the table to quantify the volume of the Company's derivative activity. Notional amounts are not necessarily reflective of credit risk.

**Offsetting of Derivative Assets/Liabilities**

The following tables present the gross fair value amounts, the amounts offset, and net position of derivative instruments eligible for offset in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Offsetting amounts include fair value amounts, income accruals and related cash collateral receivables and payables associated with derivative instruments that are traded under a common master netting agreement, as described in the preceding discussion. Also included in the tables are financial collateral receivables and payables, which are contractually permitted to be offset upon an event of default, although are disallowed for offsetting under U.S. GAAP.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

As of December 31, 2025, the before tax deferred net gains on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months are $27. This expectation is based on the anticipated interest payments on hedged investments in fixed maturity securities and long-term debt that will occur over the next twelve months. Over that time, the Company will recognize the deferred net gains (losses) as an adjustment to net investment income or interest expense, as applicable, over the term of the hedged instrument cash flows.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company had no net reclassifications from AOCI to earnings

resulting from the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges due to forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring.

Non-qualifying Strategies

For non-qualifying strategies, including embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings within net realized gains (losses).

**Credit Risk Assumed through Credit Derivatives**

The Company enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk of a single entity or referenced index in order to synthetically replicate investment transactions that are permissible under the Company's investment policies. The Company will receive periodic payments based on an agreed upon rate and notional amount and will only make a payment if there is a credit event. A credit event payment will typically be equal to the notional value of the swap contract less the value of the referenced security issuer's debt obligation after the occurrence of the credit event. A credit event is generally defined as a default on contractually obligated interest or principal payments or bankruptcy of the referenced entity. The credit default swaps in which the Company assumes credit risk may reference investment grade single corporate issuers and baskets, which include standard diversified portfolios of corporate and CMBS issuers.

Derivative Collateral Arrangements

The Company enters into various collateral arrangements in connection with its derivative instruments, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has pledged cash collateral associated with derivative instruments of $27 and $31, respectively. In general, collateral receivable is recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as determined by the Company's election to offset on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company pledged securities collateral associated with derivative instruments with a fair value of $22 and $1, respectively, which have been included in fixed maturities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The counterparties have the right to sell or re-pledge these securities.

In addition, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has pledged initial margin of cash related to OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivatives with a fair value of $7 and $10 respectively, which is recorded in other investments or other assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has pledged initial margin of securities related to OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivatives with a fair value of $98 and $103, respectively, which are included within fixed maturities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company accepted cash collateral associated with derivative instruments of $50 and $78, respectively, which was invested and recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in fixed maturities and short-term investments with corresponding amounts recorded in other investments or other liabilities as determined by the Company's election to offset on the balance sheet. The Company also accepted securities collateral as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 with a fair value of $2 and $0, respectively, which the Company has the right to repledge or sell. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no repledged securities. In addition, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, non-cash collateral accepted was held in separate custodial accounts and was not included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**ACL on Premiums Receivable and Agents' Balances**

Premiums receivable and agents' balances, excluding receivables for loss sensitive business, are primarily comprised of premiums due from policyholders, which are typically collectible within one year or less. For these balances, the ACL is estimated based on an aging of receivables and recent historical credit loss and collection experience, adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when appropriate. Balances are considered past due when amounts that have been billed are not collected within contractually stipulated time periods.

A portion of the Company's Business Insurance business is written with large deductibles or under retrospectively-rated plans (referred to as "loss sensitive business"). Under some commercial insurance contracts with a large deductible, the Company is obligated to pay the claimant the full amount of the claim and the Company is subsequently reimbursed by the policyholder for the deductible amount. As such, the Company is subject to credit risk until reimbursement is made. Retrospectively-rated policies are utilized primarily for workers' compensation coverage, whereby the ultimate premium is adjusted based on actual losses incurred. Although the premium adjustment feature of a retrospectively-rated policy substantially reduces insurance risk for the Company, it presents credit risk to the Company. The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if a significant portion of such policyholders failed to reimburse the Company for the deductible amount or the amount of additional premium owed under retrospectively-rated policies. The Company manages these credit risks through credit analysis, collateral requirements, and oversight.

The ACL for receivables for loss sensitive business is estimated as the amount of the receivable exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for probability of default and the amount of loss given a default. The probability of default is assigned based on each policyholder's credit rating, or a rating is estimated if no external rating is available. Credit ratings are reviewed and updated at least annually. The exposure amount is estimated net of collateral and other credit enhancement, considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, and historical loss information for the type of collateral obtained. The probability of default factors are historical corporate defaults for receivables with similar durations estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. The loss given default factors are based on a study of historical recovery rates for general creditors through multiple economic cycles. The Company's evaluation of the required ACL for receivables for loss sensitive business considers the current economic environment as well as the probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios similar to the approach used for estimating the ACL for mortgage loans. See Note 5 - Investments.

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**8. Reinsurance** 

The Company cedes insurance risk to reinsurers to enable the Company to manage capital and risk exposure. Such arrangements do not relieve the Company of its primary liability to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company's procedures include carefully selecting its reinsurers, structuring agreements to provide collateral funds where necessary, and regularly monitoring the financial condition and ratings of its reinsurers.

The Company has two ADC reinsurance agreements in place, both of which are accounted for as retroactive reinsurance and have exhausted their treaty limit. One agreement covered substantially all A&E reserve development for 2016 and prior accident years ("A&E ADC") up to an aggregate limit of $1.5 billion and the other covered substantially all reserve development of Navigators Insurance Company ("NIC") and certain of its affiliates for 2018 and prior accident years (the "Navigators ADC") up to an aggregate limit of $300. As the Company has ceded all of the $300 and $1.5 billion available limits under the Navigators ADC and the A&E ADC, respectively, there is no remaining limit available under either agreement as of December 31, 2025. For more information on ADC agreements, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 10 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.

Property and Casualty ceded losses, which reduce losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, were $1,264, $1,241 and

$1,043 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Employee Benefits ceded losses, which reduce losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, were $96, $120 and $93 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Reinsurance Recoverables

Reinsurance recoverables include balances due from reinsurance companies and are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. Reinsurance recoverables include an estimate of the amount of gross losses and loss adjustment expense reserves that may be ceded under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, including incurred but not reported ("IBNR") unpaid losses. The Company's estimate of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves ceded to reinsurers is based on assumptions that are consistent with those used in establishing the gross reserves for amounts the Company owes to its claimants. The Company estimates its ceded reinsurance recoverables based on the terms of any applicable facultative and treaty reinsurance, including an estimate of how IBNR unpaid losses will ultimately be ceded under reinsurance agreements. Accordingly, the Company's estimate of reinsurance recoverables is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimate of the gross reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Balances are considered past due when amounts that have been billed are not collected within contractually stipulated time periods, generally 30, 60 or 90 days. To manage reinsurer credit risk, a reinsurance security review committee evaluates the credit standing, financial performance, management and operational quality of each potential reinsurer. In placing

reinsurance, the Company considers the nature of the risk reinsured, including the expected liability payout duration, and establishes limits tiered by reinsurer credit rating.

Where its contracts permit, the Company secures future claim obligations with various forms of collateral or other credit enhancement, including irrevocable letters of credit, secured

trusts, funds held accounts and group wide offsets. As part of its reinsurance recoverable review, the Company analyzes recent developments in commutation activity between reinsurers and cedants, recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes between cedants and reinsurers and the overall credit quality of the Company's reinsurers.

Due to the inherent uncertainties as to collection and the length of time before reinsurance recoverables become due, it is possible that future adjustments to the Company's reinsurance recoverables, net of the allowance, could be required, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period.

The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance comprises an ACL and an allowance for disputed balances. The ACL is estimated as the amount of reinsurance recoverables exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for the probability of default and the amount of loss given a default. The probability of default is assigned based on each reinsurer's credit rating, or a rating is estimated if no external rating is available. Credit ratings are reviewed on a quarterly basis and any significant changes are reflected in an updated estimate. The probability of default factors are historical insurer and reinsurer defaults for liabilities with similar durations to the reinsured liabilities as estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. The loss

given default factors are based on a study of historical recovery rates for general creditors of corporations through multiple economic cycles or, in the case of purchased annuities funding structured settlements accounted for as reinsurance, historical recovery rates for annuity contract holders.

As shown in the table above, a portion of the total gross reinsurance recoverable balance relates to the Company's participation in various mandatory (assigned) and voluntary risk pools. Reinsurance recoverables due from pools are backed by the financial position of all insurance companies participating in the pools and the credit backing the reinsurance recoverable is not limited to the financial strength of each pool. The mandatory pools generally are funded through policy assessments or surcharges and if any participant in the pool defaults, remaining liabilities are apportioned among the other members.

The Company's evaluation of the required ACL for reinsurance recoverables considers the current economic environment as well as macroeconomic scenarios similar to the approach used to estimate the ACL for mortgage loans. See Note 5 - Investments. Insurance companies, including reinsurers, are regulated and hold risk-based capital ("RBC") to mitigate the risk of loss due to economic factors and other risks. Non-U.S. reinsurers are either subject to a capital regime substantively equivalent to domestic insurers or we hold collateral to support collection of reinsurance recoverables. As a result, there is limited history of losses from insurer defaults.

For its Employee Benefits products, the Company reinsures certain of its risks to other reinsurers under yearly renewable term and coinsurance arrangements and variations thereto. Yearly renewable term and coinsurance arrangements result in

passing a portion of the risk to the reinsurer. Generally, the reinsurer receives a proportionate amount of the premiums less an allowance for commissions and expenses and is liable for a corresponding proportionate amount of all benefit payments.

*[1]Prior accident year development for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included a $64 and $145 benefit for amortization of a deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance accounting, respectively, related to the Navigator's ADC. The deferred gain has been fully amortized as of September 30, 2025. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company ceded, $62 of losses under the A&E adverse development cover, which was reflected as an increase to the deferred gain.

---

Reserves are discounted at rates in effect at the time claims were incurred, ranging from 0.83% for accident year 2020 to 12.87% for accident year 1982.

The reserves recorded for the Company's property and casualty insurance products at December 31, 2025 represent the Company's best estimate of its ultimate liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to losses covered by policies written by the Company. However, because of the significant uncertainties surrounding reserves it is possible that management's estimate of the ultimate liabilities for these claims may change and that the required adjustment to recorded

reserves could exceed the currently recorded reserves by an amount that could be material to the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses are also impacted by trends including frequency and severity as well as changes in the legislative and regulatory environment. In the case of the reserves for asbestos exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty in the ultimate settlement of the liabilities gross of reinsurance include inadequate loss development patterns, plaintiffs' expanding theories of liability, new targets, the risks inherent in major litigation, and inconsistent emerging

legal doctrines with respect to the underlying claims and with respect to the Company's coverage obligations. In the case of the reserves for environmental exposures before reinsurance, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty in gross reserves include expanding theories of liabilities and damages against insureds, emerging risks from products and substances alleged to cause damage, such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"), the risks inherent in major litigation, inconsistent and emerging legal doctrines concerning the existence and scope of coverage for environmental claims, and the scope and level of complexity of the remediation required by regulators.

**2025 re-estimates of prior accident year reserves**

**Workers' compensation reserves** were decreased within accident years 2021 and prior primarily in small business, driven by lower than previously estimated claim severity.

**Commercial property reserves** were decreased primarily within accident years 2023 and 2024 as a result of lower than expected severity.

**Professional liability reserves** were decreased due to favorable development on directors and officers ("D&O") claims driven by the 2020 to 2023 accident years, partially offset by deterioration in employment practices liability and errors and omissions ("E&O") claims across multiple accident years.

**Bond reserves** decreased due primarily to favorable development on commercial and contract surety and fidelity bonds driven by accident years 2021 and prior.

**Commercial automobile liability reserves** increased primarily due to adverse loss development within accident years 2022 and 2023, driven by higher severity than estimated.

**Personal automobile liability reserves** were decreased primarily within accident years 2020 to 2023 as a result of lower than expected severity.

**Homeowners reserves** were decreased primarily due to favorable severity impacting accident year 2024.

**Asbestos and environmental reserves** were reviewed in fourth quarter 2025 resulting in a $165 increase in reserves, including $122 for asbestos and $43 for environmental.

**Catastrophes reserves** were decreased across Business Insurance and Personal Insurance primarily driven by a reduction in reserves in accident years 2020 to 2024, including favorable emergence related to various hail events.

**Other reserve re-estimates, net,** were increased primarily due to an increase in unallocated loss adjustment expenses ("ULAE") reserves within P&C Other Operations driven by an increase in gross asbestos and environmental reserves and an increase in reserves related to unfavorable development from participation in involuntary market pools, partially offset by lower than expected severity on Personal Insurance automobile physical damage for accident year 2024.

**2024 re-estimates of prior accident year reserves**

**Workers' compensation reserves** were decreased within the 2016 to 2020 accident years primarily in small business, driven by lower than anticipated claim severity. In addition, the 2020 accident year includes a $48 reduction of COVID-19 related reserves driven by favorable claim count emergence.

**General liability reserves** were increased primarily in response to a higher frequency of large losses in the 2015 to 2019 accident years. In addition, the incurred but not reported reserves for more recent accident years were increased as management has observed an increase in severity on reported claims above expectations and anticipates a higher claim severity trend on unreported claims. Reserves for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims were increased for older accident years. Lastly, reserves for extra contractual liability

claims and other miscellaneous run-off lines were reduced in response to recent favorable loss activity.

**Professional liability reserves** decreased due to favorable development on D&O claims driven by the 2020 to 2022 accident years combined with favorable E&O experience in the 2018 accident year, partially offset by deterioration in older accident years.

**Bond reserves** decreased due to favorable development on commercial and contract surety and fidelity bonds, driven by accident years 2019 and prior.

**Assumed reinsurance reserves** were increased due to higher reserve estimates in the Latin America surety and Latin America P&C businesses related to the 2020 to 2023 accident years.

**Commercial automobile liability reserves** increased primarily due to adverse loss development within accident years 2022 and 2023, driven by higher severity than estimated.

**Personal automobile liability reserves** were decreased primarily in response to better than anticipated accident years 2021 to 2023 severity for bodily injury liability claims and property damage liability.

**Homeowners reserves** were decreased primarily due to favorable severity impacting accident years 2022 and 2023.

**Asbestos and environmental reserves** were reviewed in fourth quarter 2024 resulting in a $203 increase in reserves before ADC reinsurance, including $167 for asbestos and $36 for environmental. The Company ceded to the A&E ADC $62, which is accounted for as a deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance, representing the amount of losses ceded to the ADC in excess of ceded premium paid. For additional information related to the adverse development cover with National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire"), see the Adverse Development Covers section below and Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies.

**Catastrophes reserves** were decreased primarily within Business Insurance driven by a reduction in reserves in accident years 2020 to 2022 related to favorable emergence related to various hail events, as well as favorable development in both Business Insurance and Personal Insurance in accident year 2022 related to Hurricane Ian.

**Uncollectible reinsurance** was decreased due to a reduction in a previously established reserve for an A&E reinsurer that entered into liquidation proceedings.

**Other reserve re-estimates, net,** were increased primarily due to an increase in ULAE reserves within P&C Other Operations driven by an increase in gross asbestos and environmental reserves and an increase in reserves related to unfavorable development from participation in involuntary market pools environmental reserves, partially offset by a decrease in reserves due to lower severity than expected on personal automobile physical damage for accident year 2023.

**2023 re-estimates of prior accident year reserves**

**Workers' compensation reserves** were decreased within the 2014 to 2020 accident years primarily in small business, driven by lower than previously estimated claim severity. In addition, the majority of the 2020 accident year relates to a $38 reduction of COVID-19 related reserves.

**General liability reserves** were increased driven by higher frequency and estimated cost to settle large individual claims for the 2016 to 2019 accident years, partially offset by a decrease in reserves for the 2020 accident year due to favorable experience. In addition, reserves for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims were increased for older accident years. Also included was a decrease in reserves for extra contractual liability claims and other miscellaneous run-off lines.

**Package business reserves** decreased primarily due to lower than previously estimated property severity for accident year 2019 and 2021. Package liability is flat overall with reserve increases related to higher severity across multiple accident years offset by improvement in accident year 2020 due to favorable claim count emergence.

**Commercial property reserves** decreased primarily due to favorable development for accident years 2018 and 2021. In accident year 2022, unfavorable development in middle & large business was offset by favorable development in global specialty.

**Professional liability reserves** decreased modestly due to favorable development on D&O claims driven by the 2020 and 2021 accident years, partially offset by deterioration in 2019 and prior accident years experience across E&O and other claims.

**Bond reserves** decreased primarily due to improvement in fidelity in 2013 and prior accident years, as well as improvement in contract surety in 2019 and prior accident years, partially offset by unfavorable development for 2013 and prior accident years related to customs bonds.

**Assumed reinsurance reserves** were increased due to higher reserve estimates in the Latin America casualty and surety business.

**Commercial automobile liability reserves** increased primarily due to adverse loss development from elevated large loss frequency and severity pressures within middle & large business for accident year 2022, as well as unfavorable experience in accident year 2019, partly offset by favorable development in accident years 2020 and 2021.

**Personal automobile liability reserves** were flat as increases for accident year 2022 from higher estimated severity and increasing attorney representation rates were fully offset by decreases, primarily within accident years 2019 to 2021, due to lower estimated severity.

**Asbestos and environmental reserves** were reviewed in fourth quarter 2023 resulting in a $194 increase in reserves before ADC reinsurance, including $156 for asbestos and $38 for environmental. The Company recognized a $194 deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance, representing the amount of losses ceded to the ADC in excess of ceded premium paid. For additional information related to the adverse development cover with NICO, see the Adverse Development Covers section below and Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies.

**Catastrophes reserves** were decreased primarily within Business Insurance driven by a reduction in reserves in accident year 2022 for Hurricane Ian and accident year 2021 for Hurricane Ida.

**Uncollectible reinsurance** was increased primarily in Business Insurance related to a captive reinsurer and, to a lesser extent, an increase in reserves for potential collection disputes and credit concerns.

**Other reserve re-estimates, net,** were increased primarily due to an increase in ULAE reserves within P&C Other Operations driven by an increase in gross asbestos and environmental reserves, as well as unfavorable development from participation in involuntary market pools, and increased automobile physical damage severity.

**Settlement Agreement with Boy Scouts of America**

On February 14, 2022, the Company executed a final settlement agreement (the "Settlement") with the Boy Scouts of America ("BSA"), the Local Councils, and the attorneys representing a majority of the alleged victims, pursuant to which The Hartford agreed to pay $787 for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims associated with liability policies issued by various Hartford writing companies in the 1970s and early 1980s. In exchange for its payment, the Company receives a complete release of its policies issued to BSA and the Local Councils, as well as an injunction against further abuse claims involving BSA. All conditions precedent to the Settlement have been satisfied, including approval by the bankruptcy court and the district court, and on April 20, 2023, The Hartford paid the Settlement amount of $787. Certain objecting parties appealed the district court's ruling and after unsuccessful appeals petitioned the U.S Supreme Court for review. On January 12, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court denied their petition and the matter has now concluded as to The Hartford.

**Adverse Development Covers**

The Company has an adverse development cover reinsurance agreement with NICO, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to reinsure loss development after 2016 on substantially all of the Company's asbestos and environmental reserves (the "A&E ADC") up to an aggregate limit. Under the A&E ADC, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $650 for NICO to assume adverse net loss reserve development up to $1.5 billion above the Company's existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion including reserves for A&E exposure for accident years prior to 1986 that are reported in Property & Casualty Other Operations ("Run-off

A&E") and reserves for A&E exposure for accident years 1986 and subsequent from policies underwritten prior to 2016 that are reported in ongoing Business Insurance and Personal Insurance. The $650 reinsurance premium was placed into a collateral trust account as security for NICO's claim payment obligations to the Company. The Company has retained the risk of collection on amounts due from other third-party reinsurers and through 2025 continued to be responsible for claims handling and other administrative services, subject to certain conditions. The A&E ADC covered substantially all the Company's A&E reserve development up to the reinsurance limit.

Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, net adverse A&E reserve development after December 31, 2016 results in an offsetting reinsurance recoverable up to the $1.5 billion limit. Cumulative ceded losses up to the $650 reinsurance premium paid have been recognized as a dollar-for-dollar offset to direct losses incurred. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding the $650 reinsurance premium paid resulted in a deferred gain. The Company has incurred $1.5 billion in cumulative adverse development on asbestos and environmental reserves that have been ceded under the A&E ADC treaty, leaving no remaining coverage available for future adverse net reserve development. The Company has recorded a $850 deferred gain within other liabilities, representing the difference between the reinsurance recoverable of $1.5 billion and ceded premium paid of $650. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has paid cumulative losses in excess of the $1.7 billion attachment point. The Company has recorded $1,436 of ceded unpaid reinsurance loss and LAE recoverables and $64 of paid reinsurance loss and LAE recoverables related to the A&E ADC on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. The deferred gain will be recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries.

Immediately following the May 23, 2019 acquisition of Navigators Group, the Company purchased an aggregate excess of loss adverse development cover ("Navigators ADC") from NICO on behalf of Navigators Insurance Company and certain affiliates, providing $300 of coverage in excess of $100 above existing net loss and allocated loss adjustment reserves as of December 31, 2018, subject to a treaty limit of $1.816 billion for losses prior to that date, in exchange for a $91 premium. Cumulative loss development on 2018 and prior accident year reserves subsequently exhausted the treaty limit, resulting in the recognition of a $209 cumulative deferred gain within other liabilities under retroactive reinsurance accounting. Recoveries up to the limit were fully collected from NICO, with collections during 2024 and 2025 resulting in the amortization of $145 and $64 of the deferred gain, respectively, through benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses, fully amortizing the balance as of December 31, 2025; the deferred gain was $64 as of December 31, 2024 and no change to the deferred gain occurred during the year ended December 31, 2023 due to the absence of recoveries.

*[1]Asbestos and environmental and other operations include asbestos, environmental and other latent exposures not foreseen when coverages were written, including, but not limited to, potential liability for pharmaceutical products, silica, talcum powder, head injuries, lead paint, construction defects, sexual molestation and sexual abuse and other long-tail liabilities. These reserve lines do not have significant paid or incurred loss development for the most recent ten accident years and therefore do not have loss development displayed in triangles.*

The reserve lines in the above table and the loss triangles that follow represent the significant lines of business for which the Company regularly reviews the appropriateness of reserve levels. These reserve lines differ from the reserve lines reported on a statutory basis, as prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC").

The following loss triangles present historical loss development for incurred and paid claims by accident year, including loss development on Navigators' reserves prior to and after the May 23, 2019 acquisition date. Because the loss triangles include pre-acquisition date changes in ultimate incurred loss estimates for Navigators' reserves, changes in reserve development evident in the incurred loss triangles may differ from prior accident year development ("PYD") recorded by the Company as shown in the (Favorable) Unfavorable Prior Accident Year Development table above as that only includes changes in Navigators' reserves post acquisition. In addition, the incurred loss triangles include reserve development on both catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims whereas the (Favorable) Unfavorable Prior Accident Year Development table above shows the total amount of catastrophe reserve development across all lines of business on a single line.

Triangles are limited to the number of years for which claims incurred typically remain outstanding, not exceeding ten years. Short-tail lines, which represent claims generally expected to be paid within a few years, have three years of claim development displayed. IBNR reserves shown in loss triangles include reserves for incurred but not reported claims as well as reserves for expected development on reported claims. Incurred and cumulative paid losses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar have been converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of December 31, 2025.

**Property and casualty reserves, including IBNR**

The Company estimates ultimate losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses ("ALAE") by accident year. IBNR represents the excess of estimated ultimate loss reserves over case reserves. The process to estimate ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses is an integral part of the Company's reserve setting. Reserves for ALAE and ULAE are generally established separate from the reserves for losses.

Reserves for losses are set by line of business within the reportable segments. Case reserves are established by a claims handler on each individual claim and are adjusted as new information becomes known during the course of handling the claim. Lines of business for which reported losses emerge over a long period of time are referred to as long-tail lines of

business. Lines of business for which reported losses emerge more quickly are referred to as short-tail lines of business. The Company's shortest tail lines of business are homeowners, commercial property and automobile physical damage. The longest tail lines of business include workers' compensation, general liability and professional liability. For short-tail lines of business, emergence of paid loss and case reserves is credible and likely indicative of ultimate losses. For long-tail lines of business, emergence of paid losses and case reserves is less credible in the early periods after a given accident year and, accordingly, may not be indicative of ultimate losses.

The Company's reserving actuaries regularly review reserves for both current and prior accident years using the most current claim data. A variety of actuarial methods and judgments are used for most lines of business to arrive at selections of

estimated ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses. The reserve selections incorporate input, as appropriate, from claims personnel, pricing actuaries and operating management about reported loss cost trends and other factors that could affect the reserve estimates.

For both short-tail and long-tail lines of business, an expected loss ratio ("ELR") is used to record initial reserves. This ELR is determined by starting with the average loss ratio of recent prior accident years and adjusting that ratio for the effect of expected changes to earned pricing, loss frequency and severity, mix of business, ceded reinsurance and other factors. For short-tail lines, IBNR for the current accident year ("CAY") gives weight to both the initial ELR multiplied by earned premium approach as well as a loss development approach, given early reported losses are more credible than in long-tailed lines. For long-tailed lines, IBNR reserves for the current accident year are initially recorded as the product of the ELR for the period and the earned premium for the period, less reported losses for the period. For certain short-tailed lines of business, including commercial property, homeowners, and automobile physical damage, IBNR amounts in the above loss development triangles are negative in certain accident years due to anticipated salvage and subrogation recoveries on paid losses.

As losses for a given accident year emerge or develop in subsequent periods, reserving actuaries use other methods to estimate ultimate unpaid losses in addition to the ELR method. These primarily include paid and reported loss development methods, frequency/severity techniques and the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method (a combination of the ELR and paid development or reported development method). Within any one line of business, the methods that are given more weight vary based primarily on the maturity of the accident year, the mix of business and the particular internal and external influences impacting the claims experience or the methods. The output of the reserve reviews are reserve estimates that are referred to as actuarial indications.

Paid development and reported development techniques are used for most lines of business though more weight is given to the reported development method for some of the long-tailed lines like general liability. In addition, for long-tailed lines of business, the Company relies on the ELR method for immature accident years. Frequency/severity techniques are used predominantly for professional liability and are also used for automobile liability. The Berquist-Sherman technique is also

used for automobile liability, marine and assumed reinsurance. For most lines, reserves for ALAE, or those expenses related to specific claims, are analyzed using paid development techniques and an analysis of the relationship between ALAE and loss payments. For most of the lines acquired through the Navigators Group book of business, loss and ALAE are reviewed on a combined basis. Reserves for ULAE are determined using the expected cost per claim year and the anticipated claim closure pattern as well as the ratio of paid ULAE to paid losses.

The recorded reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the Company's best estimate of the ultimate settlement amount of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. In applying judgment, the best estimate is selected after considering the estimates derived from a number of actuarial methods, giving more weight to those methods deemed more predictive of ultimate unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company does not produce a statistical range or confidence interval of reserve estimates and, since reserving methods with more credibility are given greater weight, the selected best estimate may differ from the mid-point of the various estimates produced by the actuarial methods used.

**Cumulative number of reported claims** 

For most property and casualty lines, claim counts represent the number of claim features on a reported claim where a claim feature is each separate coverage for each claimant affected by the claim event. For example, one car accident that results in two bodily injury claims and one automobile damage liability claim would be counted as three claims within the personal automobile liability triangle. Similarly, a fire that impacts one commercial building may result in multiple claim features due to the potential for claims related to business interruption, structural damage, and loss of the physical contents of the building. Claim features that result in no paid losses are included in the reported claim counts. For some property and casualty lines, such as marine and assumed reinsurance, a claim count represents each reported claim regardless of the number of features. For assumed bordereau business and business written on binders, one claim count is posted for each bordereau received, which could account for multiple claims.

Reserves are discounted at rates in effect at the time claims were incurred, ranging from 2.1% for life and disability reserves acquired from Aetna based on interest rates in effect at the acquisition date of November 1, 2017, to 8.0% for the Company's pre-acquisition reserves for incurral year 1990, and vary by product. Prior year's discount accretion has been calculated as the average reserve balance of discounted reserves for the year times the weighted average discount rate.

**2025 re-estimates of prior incurral year reserves**

**Group disability-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $466 driven by favorable long-term disability claim recoveries, paid family and medical leave incidence lower than prior assumptions, as well as a higher New York paid family leave risk adjustment benefit than expected.

**Group life and accident (including group life premium waiver)-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $90 driven by favorable mortality emergence in both group term life and group accidental death and dismemberment, and continued low incidence in group life premium waiver.

**2024 re-estimates of prior incurral year reserves**

**Group disability-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $483 largely driven by long-term disability claim incidence lower than prior assumptions and favorable recoveries on prior incurral year claims, as well as a favorable change in the recovery rate assumption.

**Group life and accident (including group life premium waiver)-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $80 largely driven by favorable mortality emergence and continued low incidence in group life premium waiver.

**2023 re-estimates of prior incurral year reserves**

**Group disability-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $457 largely driven by group long-term disability claim incidence lower than prior assumptions and strong recoveries on prior incurral year claims.

**Group life and accident (including group life premium waiver)-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $36 largely driven by continued low incidence in group life premium waiver.

**Supplemental Accident & Health-** Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $9 driven by lower than previously expected claim incidence.

The following loss triangles present historical loss development for incurred and paid claims by the year the insured claim occurred, referred to as the incurral year. Triangles are limited to the number of years for which claims incurred typically remain outstanding, not exceeding ten years. Short-tail lines, which represent claims generally expected to be paid within a few years, have three years of claim development displayed. Changes in reserve development evident in the incurred loss triangles differ from prior accident year development recorded by the Company as shown in the reserve rollforward above as the triangles are presented on an undiscounted basis and exclude ULAE.

**Group life, disability and accident reserves, including IBNR**

The majority of Employee Benefits' reserves are for LTD claimants who are known to be disabled and are currently receiving benefits. A Disabled Life Reserve ("DLR") is calculated for each LTD claim. The DLR for each claim is the expected present value of all estimated future benefit payments and includes estimates of claim recovery, investment yield, and offsets from other income, including offsets from Social Security benefits and workers' compensation. Estimated future benefit payments represent the monthly income benefit that is paid until recovery, death or expiration of benefits. Claim recoveries are estimated based on claim characteristics such as age and diagnosis and represent an estimate of benefits that will terminate, generally as a result of the claimant returning to work or being deemed able to return to work. The DLR also includes a liability for payments to claimants who have not yet been approved for LTD. In these cases, the present value of future benefits is reduced for the likelihood of claim denial based on Company experience. For claims recently closed due to recovery, a portion of the DLR is retained for the possibility that the claim reopens upon further evidence of disability. In addition, a reserve for estimated unpaid claim expenses is included in the DLR.

For incurral years with IBNR claims, estimates of ultimate losses are made by applying completion factors to the dollar amount of claims reported or expected depending on the market segment. IBNR represents estimated ultimate losses less both DLR and cumulative paid amounts for all reported claims. Completion factors are derived using standard actuarial techniques using triangles that display historical claim count emergence by incurral month. These estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and are adjusted for current trends and other factors expected to cause a change in claim emergence. The IBNR includes an estimate of unpaid claim expenses, including a provision for the cost of initial set-up of the claim once reported.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

For all products, including LTD, there is a period generally ranging from two to twelve months, depending on the product and market segment, where emerged claim information for an incurral year is not yet credible enough to be a basis for an IBNR projection. In these cases, the ultimate losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses are estimated using earned premium multiplied by an expected loss ratio.

The Company also records reserves for future death benefits under group term life policies that provide for premiums to be waived in the event the insured is unable to work due to disability and has satisfied an elimination period, which is typically nine months (premium waiver reserves). The death benefit reserve for these group life premium waiver claims is estimated for a known disabled claimant equal to the present value of expected future cash outflows (typically a lump sum face amount payable at death plus claim expenses) with separate estimates for claimant recovery (when no death benefit is payable) and for death before recovery or benefit expiry (when death benefit is payable). The IBNR for premium waiver death benefits is estimated with standard actuarial development methods.

In addition, the Company also records reserves for group term life, accidental loss of life and severe injury, short-term disability, and other group products that have short claim payout periods. For these products, reserves are determined using paid or reported actuarial development methods. The resulting claim triangles produce a completion pattern and estimate of ultimate loss. IBNR for these lines of business equals the estimated ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses less the amount of paid or reported claims depending on whether the paid or reported development method was used. Estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and are adjusted for current trends or other factors that affect the development pattern.

**Cumulative number of reported claims**

For group life, disability and accident coverages, claim counts include claims that are approved, pending approval and terminated and exclude denied claims. Due to the nature of the claims, one claimant represents one event.

The Company completed a review of cash flow assumptions in the third quarter 2025, 2024, and 2023, resulting in immaterial changes to the reserve for future policy benefits. For payout annuities and paid-up life, the net effect of updating cash flow

assumptions was offset by a corresponding impact to the deferred profit liability. Gross premiums and interest accretion recognized on long-duration insurance policies for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial.

**12. Other Policyholder Funds and Benefits Payable**

Other policyholder funds and benefits payable of $612, $614 and $638 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, included universal life long-duration contracts of $196, $206 and $223 as well as policyholder balances related to short-duration contracts of $416, $408 and $415. The universal life long-duration contracts presented in the table below were economically ceded to Prudential as part of the sale of the Company's former individual life business, which closed in 2013.

*[1]The Company has an interest rate swap agreement expiring February 15, 2027 to effectively convert the variable interest payments based on 3-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161% plus 2.125% for this debenture.*

*[2]This amount includes unamortized discount of $66 and $68 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, on the 6.1% Notes, due 2041.*

The effective interest rate on the 6.1% senior notes due 2041 is 7.9%. The effective interest rate on the remaining notes does not differ materially from the stated rate.

Shelf Registrations

On September 23, 2024, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an automatic shelf registration statement (Registration No. 333-282288) for the potential offering and sale of debt and equity securities. The registration statement allows for the following types of securities to be offered: debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, guarantees, preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts, and stock purchase units. Because The Hartford is a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, the registration statement became effective

immediately upon filing and The Hartford may offer and sell an unlimited amount of securities under the registration statement during the three-year life of the registration statement.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has outstanding $500 of callable junior subordinated debentures with a final maturity on February 12, 2067. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at a variable rate that resets quarterly.

The $500 junior subordinated debentures due 2067 are unsecured, subordinated and junior in right of payment and upon liquidation to all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness. In addition, the debentures are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's subsidiaries' existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including obligations to policyholders. The debentures do not limit the Company's or the Company's subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, including debt that ranks senior in right of payment and upon liquidation to the debentures.

The Company has the right to defer interest payments for up to a consecutive ten years without giving rise to an event of default. Deferred interest will continue to accrue and will accrue additional interest at the then applicable interest rate. If the Company defers interest payments, the Company generally may not make payments on or redeem or purchase any shares of its capital stock or any of its debt securities or guarantees that rank upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up equally with or junior to the debentures, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Company may elect to redeem the $500 junior subordinated debentures due 2067 in whole or in part for the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

In connection with the offering of this debenture, the Company entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant ("RCC") for the benefit of holders of one or more designated series of the Company's indebtedness, initially the Company's 4.3% notes due 2043. Under the terms of the RCC, if the Company redeems the debenture any time prior to February 12, 2047 (or such earlier date on which the RCC terminates by its terms) it can only do so with the proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying replacement securities.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

Revolving Credit Facility

The Hartford has a $750 senior unsecured revolving credit facility, including $100 available to support letters of credit (the "Credit Facility"). On September 24, 2025, The Hartford amended and restated the Credit Facility, which, among other changes, extends the term of the facility through September 24, 2030. Under the Credit Facility:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revolving loans may be in multiple currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. dollar loans will bear interest at a floating rate equivalent to an indexed rate plus a basis point spread based on The Hartford's credit rating and will mature no later than September 24, 2030.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Letters of credit bear a fee based on The Hartford's credit rating and expire no later than September 24, 2031.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth financial covenant to $12.7 billion, excluding AOCI, limits the ratio of senior debt to capitalization, excluding AOCI, at 35% and includes other customary covenants. The Credit Facility is for general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no borrowings were outstanding, no letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Lloyd's Letter of Credit Facility

The Hartford has a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the"Lloyd's Facility"). On October 21, 2024, The Hartford amended and restated the Lloyd's Facility. The purpose of this facility is to issue letters of credit that may be treated as Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") to support underwriting capacity provided by The Hartford Corporate Underwriters Limited to the Lloyd's syndicate 1221 for the 2025 and 2026 underwriting years of account (and prior open years). The amended and restated Lloyd's Facility has two tranches, with one tranche extending a $74 commitment and the other tranche extending a £74 million ($100 as December 31, 2025). The term of the facility is two years. As of December 31, 2025, letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $74 and £74 million, or $100, were outstanding under the Lloyd's Facility. As of December 31, 2024, letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $74 and £79 million, or $99, were outstanding under the Lloyd's Facility.

Among other covenants, the Lloyd's Facility contains financial covenants regarding The Hartford's consolidated net worth and financial leverage. As of December 31, 2025, The Hartford was in compliance with all financial covenants of the facility.

Collateralized Advances with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston

The Company's subsidiaries, Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford Fire") and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA"), are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB"). Membership allows these subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be short- or long-term with fixed or variable rates. FHLBB membership required the purchase of member stock and requires additional member stock ownership of 3% or 4% of any amount borrowed. The amount of advances that can be taken is limited to a percentage of the fair value of the assets considered eligible collateral. In its consolidated balance sheets, The Hartford presents the liability for advances taken based on use of the funds with advances for general corporate purposes presented in short- or long-term debt and advances to earn incremental investment income presented in other liabilities, consistent with other collateralized financing transactions such as securities lending and repurchase agreements.

Prior to October 1, 2025, the Connecticut Insurance Department ("CID") permitted Hartford Fire and HLA to pledge up to $1.4 billion and $0.6 billion in qualifying assets, respectively, without prior approval, to secure FHLBB advances. The pledge limit was determined quarterly based on statutory admitted assets and capital and surplus of Hartford Fire and HLA, respectively.

Effective October 1, 2025, the Company is no longer subject to the CID hypothecation limit or approval related to FHLBB advances. The Company's pledge capacity is now subject to FHLB's collateral eligibility requirements, which may be amended at their discretion. Based on these requirements, the Company estimates that Hartford Fire can pledge up to $2.6 billion and HLA can pledge up to $2.2 billion to secure FHLBB advances.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no advances outstanding under the FHLBB facility.

---

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**14. Commitments and Contingencies**

Management evaluates each contingent matter separately. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. Management establishes liabilities for these contingencies at its "best estimate," or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated liability at the low end of the range of losses.

Litigation

The Hartford is involved in claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, both as a liability insurer defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against insureds and as an insurer defending coverage and benefits claims brought against it. The Hartford accounts for such activity through the establishment of unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Subject to the uncertainties related to sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims, including those discussed in Note 10, Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses, and in the following discussion under the caption "Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims," management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of The Hartford.

The Hartford is also involved in other kinds of individual and class actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. Individual actions may include claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims or other allegedly unfair or improper business practices and may seek punitive damages. In putative class actions, plaintiffs may be seeking certification of a state or national class and have alleged, for example, underpayment of claims or improper sales or underwriting practices in connection with various kinds of insurance policies, such as personal and commercial automobile and property. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of The Hartford. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, the outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

**Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims**

The Company continues to receive A&E claims. Asbestos claims relate primarily to bodily injuries asserted by people who came in contact with asbestos or products allegedly containing asbestos. Environmental claims relate primarily to pollution and related clean-up costs.

The vast majority of the Company's exposure to A&E relates to accident years prior to 1986 that are reported in Property & Casualty Other Operations ("Run-off A&E"). In addition, since

1986, the Company has written asbestos and environmental exposures under general liability policies and pollution liability under homeowners policies, which are reported in the Business Insurance and Personal Insurance segments, respectively.

Prior to 1986, the Company wrote several different categories of insurance contracts that may cover A&E claims. First, the Company wrote primary policies providing the first layer of coverage in an insured's liability program. Second, the Company wrote excess and umbrella policies providing higher layers of coverage for losses that exhaust the limits of underlying coverage. Third, the Company acted as a reinsurer assuming a portion of those risks assumed by other insurers writing primary, excess, umbrella and reinsurance coverages.

Significant uncertainty limits the ability of insurers and reinsurers to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid gross losses and expenses related to environmental and asbestos claims. The degree of variability of gross reserve estimates for these exposures is significantly greater than for other more traditional exposures.

In the case of the reserves for asbestos exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty include inadequate loss development patterns, plaintiffs' expanding theories of liability, new targets, the risks inherent in major litigation, and inconsistent and emerging legal doctrines with respect to the underlying claims and with respect to the Company's coverage obligations. Furthermore, over time, insurers, including the Company, have experienced significant changes in the rate at which asbestos claims are brought, the claims experience of particular insureds, and the value of claims, making predictions of future exposure from past experience uncertain. Plaintiffs and insureds also have sought to use bankruptcy proceedings, including "pre-packaged" bankruptcies, to accelerate and increase loss payments by insurers. In addition, some policyholders have asserted new classes of claims for coverages to which an aggregate limit of liability may not apply. Further uncertainties include insolvencies of other carriers, insolvencies of insureds and unanticipated developments pertaining to the Company's ability to recover reinsurance for A&E claims. Management believes these issues are not likely to be resolved in the near future.

In the case of the reserves for environmental exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty include expanding theories of liability and damages against insureds, emerging risks from products and substances alleged to cause damage, such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"), the risks inherent in major litigation, inconsistent and emerging legal doctrines concerning the existence and scope of coverage for environmental claims, and the scope and level of complexity of the remediation required by regulators.

The reporting pattern for assumed reinsurance claims, including those related to A&E claims, is much longer than for direct claims. In many instances, it takes months or years to determine that the policyholder's own obligations have been met and how the reinsurance in question may apply to such claims. The delay

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

in reporting reinsurance claims and exposures adds to the uncertainty of estimating the related reserves.

It is also not possible to predict changes in the legal and legislative environment and their effect on the future development of A&E claims.

Given the factors described above, the Company believes the actuarial tools and other techniques it employs to estimate the ultimate cost of claims for more traditional kinds of insurance exposure are less precise in estimating reserves for A&E exposures. For this reason, the Company principally relies on exposure-based analysis to estimate the ultimate costs of these claims, both gross and net of reinsurance, and regularly evaluates new account information in assessing its potential A&E exposures. The Company supplements this exposure-based analysis with evaluations of the Company's historical direct net loss and expense paid and reported experience, and net loss and expense paid and reported experience by calendar and/or report year, to assess any emerging trends, fluctuations or characteristics suggested by the aggregate paid and reported activity.

For its Run-off A&E claims, as of December 31, 2025, the Company reported $267 of net asbestos and environmental reserves, net of the benefit of losses ceded to the A&E ADC with NICO. In addition, the Company has recorded a $850 deferred gain within other liabilities for losses economically ceded to NICO but for which the benefit is not recognized in earnings until later periods. While the Company believes that its current Run-off A&E reserves are appropriate, significant uncertainties limit our ability to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid losses and related expenses. The ultimate liabilities, thus, could exceed the currently recorded reserves, and any such additional liability, while not reasonably estimable now, could be material to The Hartford's consolidated operating results or liquidity.

The Company's A&E ADC reinsurance agreement reinsures substantially all A&E reserve development for 2016 and prior accident years, including Run-off A&E and A&E reserves included in Business Insurance and Personal Insurance. The A&E ADC has a coverage limit of $1.5 billion above the Company's existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion. The Company has incurred $1.5 billion in cumulative adverse development on A&E reserves that have been ceded under the A&E ADC treaty, leaving no remaining coverage available for future adverse net reserve development. Cumulative adverse development of A&E claims for accident years 2016 and prior in excess of the treaty limit, including $165 recognized in 2025, are absorbed as a charge to earnings by the Company. The effect of future charges could be material to the Company's consolidated operating results or liquidity. For more information on the A&E ADC, refer to Note 10, Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.

Unfunded Commitments

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $4.7 billion, of which $2.5 billion is committed to fund limited partnerships and other alternative investments, which may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. The funding of purchase investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments are at the discretion of the general partner or manager and may be called at any time. Additionally, $1.5 billion of the outstanding commitments relate to various funding obligations associated with private debt and equity securities, as well as tax credits. The remaining outstanding commitments of $685 relate to mortgage loans. Of the $4.7 billion in total outstanding commitments, $221 are related to mortgage loan commitments which the Company can cancel unconditionally.

Guaranty Funds and Other Insurance-related Assessments

In all states, insurers licensed to transact certain classes of insurance are required to become members of a guaranty fund. In most states, in the event of the insolvency of an insurer writing any such class of insurance in the state, a guaranty fund may assess its members to pay covered claims of the insolvent insurers. Assessments are based on each member's proportionate share of written premiums in the state for the classes of insurance in which the insolvent insurer was engaged. Assessments are generally limited for any year to one or two percent of the premiums written per year depending on the state. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through surcharges on policyholders or through full or partial premium tax offsets, while other states permit recovery of assessments through the rate filing process.

Liabilities for guaranty fund and other insurance-related assessments are accrued when an assessment is probable, when it can be reasonably estimated, and when the event obligating the Company to pay an imposed or probable assessment has occurred. Liabilities for guaranty funds and other insurance-related assessments are not discounted and are included as part of other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the liability balance was $76 and $70, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no premium tax offsets related to guaranty fund or other insurance-related assessments for both periods.

Derivative Commitments

Certain of the Company's derivative agreements contain provisions that are tied to the financial strength ratings, as set by nationally recognized statistical agencies, of the individual legal entity that entered into the derivative agreement. If the legal entity's financial strength were to fall below certain ratings, the counterparties to the derivative agreements could, in certain instances, terminate the agreements and demand immediate settlement of all outstanding derivative positions traded under each impacted bilateral agreement.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

The settlement amount is determined by netting the derivative positions transacted under each agreement. If the termination rights were to be exercised by the counterparties, it could impact the legal entity's ability to conduct hedging activities by increasing the associated costs and decreasing the willingness of counterparties to transact with the legal entity. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position as of December 31, 2025 was $56 for which the legal entities have posted collateral of $49 in the normal course of business. Based on derivative contractual terms as of December 31, 2025, a downgrade of the current financial strength ratings by either Moody's or S&P would not require additional assets to be posted as collateral. This requirement could change as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated. The nature of the additional collateral that we would post, if required, would be primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and government agency securities.

Guarantees

In the ordinary course of selling businesses or entities to third parties, the Company has agreed to indemnify purchasers for losses arising subsequent to the closing due to breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the business or entity being sold or with respect to covenants and obligations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. These obligations are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. The Company does not expect to make any material payments on these guarantees and is not carrying any material liabilities associated with these guarantees.

The Hartford has guaranteed the timely payment of contractual claims under certain life, accident and health and annuity contracts issued by its former life and annuity business with

most of the guaranteed contracts issued between 1990 and 1997 (the "Talcott Guarantees"). Upon the sale of the life and annuity business in May 2018, the purchaser indemnified the Company for any liability arising under the guarantees. The Talcott Guarantees cover contractual obligations only but otherwise have no limitation as to maximum potential future payments.

The liability for credit losses ("LCL") for Talcott Guarantees is calculated for the estimated amount payable under guaranteed contracts multiplied by the probability of default and the amount of loss given a default. The probability of default is assigned by credit rating of the applicable insurance company that issued the contract and is based on historical insurance industry defaults for liabilities with similar durations estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are current and forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. Because annuities represent the majority of the contracts issued, the loss given default factors are based on a historical study of annuity policyholder recoveries from insolvent estate assets. The Company's exposure is expected to run off over a period that will include more than one economic cycle.

The Company's evaluation of the required LCL for the Talcott Guarantees considers the current economic environment as well as macroeconomic scenarios similar to the approach used to estimate the ACL for mortgage loans. See Note 5 - Investments. In 2023, the LCL decreased from $22 to $9 primarily due to an upgrade of Talcott's credit rating, as well as a decrease in the estimated amount payable under guaranteed contracts. In 2024, the LCL decreased to $7 primarily due an improvement of Talcott's assumed liquidation rate, as well as a decrease in the estimated amount payable under guaranteed contracts. During 2025, the LCL increased to $8 primarily due to an increase to Talcott's assumed liquidation rate, partially offset by a decrease in the estimated amount payable under guaranteed contracts. The Company has never experienced a loss on financial guarantees similar to the Talcott Guarantees and we believe the risk of loss is remote.

**15. Equity** 

Equity Repurchase Program

In July, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for up to $3.3 billion effective from August 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $1.55 billion remaining for equity repurchases under this share repurchase program. The Hartford's previous $3.0 billion equity repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors in August 2022 expired on December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 the Company repurchased $1.6 billion (12.9 million shares), $1.5 billion (14.4 million shares) and $1.4 billion (19.2 million shares), respectively, of common stock under these repurchase programs.

During the period from January 1, 2026 through February 19, 2026, the Company repurchased $247 (1.8 million common

shares) under the $3.3 billion repurchase program effective from August 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.

The timing of any repurchases of shares is dependent on several factors, including the market price of the Company's securities, the Company's capital position, consideration of the effect of any repurchases on the Company's financial strength or credit ratings, the Company's blackout periods, and other considerations.

The Company accrued $13 and $12 in excise taxes on share repurchases as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, partially reduced by share issuances, which are reported in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Preferred Stock

The Company has outstanding 13.8 million depositary shares each representing 1/1000th interest in a share of the Company's 6.0% Series G non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per

share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share). The Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. Dividends are recorded when declared. Dividends are payable, if declared, quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year. If a dividend is not declared and paid or made payable on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock for the latest completed dividend period, no dividends may be paid or declared on The Hartford's common stock and The Hartford may not purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire its common stock.

The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Company's option in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25,000 per share, plus unpaid dividends attributable to the current dividend period.

Statutory Results

The U.S. domestic insurance subsidiaries of The Hartford prepare their statutory financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance department, which vary materially from U.S. GAAP. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include publications of the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. The differences between statutory financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP vary between domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The principal differences are that statutory financial statements do not reflect deferred policy acquisition costs and limit deferred income taxes, recognize a deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance within a special surplus account rather than as other liabilities, predominately use interest rate and mortality assumptions prescribed by the NAIC for life benefit reserves, generally carry investments in bonds at amortized cost, and present insurance assets and liabilities net of reinsurance. For reporting purposes, statutory capital and surplus is referred to collectively as "statutory capital".

**Regulatory Capital Requirements**

The Company's U.S. insurance companies' states of domicile impose RBC requirements. The requirements provide a means of measuring the minimum amount of statutory capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations based on its size and risk profile. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. All of the Company's operating insurance subsidiaries had RBC ratios in excess of the minimum levels required by the applicable insurance regulations.

Similar to the RBC ratios that are employed by U.S. insurance regulators, regulatory authorities in the international jurisdictions in which the Company operates generally establish minimum solvency requirements for insurance companies. All of the Company's international insurance subsidiaries expect to maintain capital levels in excess of the minimum levels required by the applicable regulatory authorities.

**Dividend Restrictions**

Dividends to HIG Holding Company from its insurance subsidiaries are restricted by insurance regulation. The Company's principal insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The payment of dividends by Connecticut-domiciled insurers is limited under the insurance holding company laws of Connecticut. These laws require notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment of any dividend, which, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer's statutory policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) net income (or net gain from operations, if such company is a life insurance company) for the preceding year, in each case determined under statutory insurance accounting principles. In addition, if any dividend of a Connecticut-domiciled insurer exceeds the insurer's earned surplus, it requires the prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.

Property casualty insurers domiciled in New York, including NIC and Navigators Specialty Insurance Company ("NSIC"), generally may not, without notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner, pay dividends out of earned surplus in any twelve-month period that exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of the insurer's statutory policyholders' surplus as of the most recent financial statement on file, or (ii) 100% of its adjusted net investment income, as defined, for the same twelve month period.

Corporate members of Lloyd's Syndicates may pay dividends to its parent to the extent of available profits that have been distributed from the syndicate in excess of the FAL capital requirement and subject to restrictions imposed under UK Company Law. The FAL is determined based on the syndicate's solvency capital requirement ("SCR") of the syndicate under the Solvency II capital adequacy model, the current regulatory framework governing UK domiciled insurers, plus a Lloyd's specific economic capital assessment. Insurers domiciled in the United Kingdom may pay dividends to its parent out of its statutory profits subject to restrictions imposed under U.K. Company law and Solvency II.

**The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

The insurance holding company laws of the other jurisdictions in which The Hartford's insurance subsidiaries are incorporated (or deemed commercially domiciled) generally contain similar (although in certain instances more restrictive) limitations on the payment of dividends. In addition to statutory limitations on paying dividends, the Company also takes other items into consideration when determining dividends from subsidiaries. These considerations include, but are not limited to, expected earnings and capitalization of the subsidiaries, regulatory capital requirements, liquidity requirements and state deposit requirements of the individual operating company.

In 2025, HIG Holding Company received $592 of dividends from HLA, $161 from Hartford Funds and $43 from other non-insurance subsidiaries. In addition, HIG Holding Company received $1.7 billion of net dividends from P&C subsidiaries in 2025, which excludes $75 of P&C dividends that were subsequently contributed to P&C subsidiaries and $107 of P&C dividends related to interest payments on an intercompany note owed by Hartford Holdings, Inc. ("HHI") to Hartford Fire Insurance Company.

The Company's property and casualty insurance subsidiaries have regulatory dividend capacity of $2.5 billion for 2026. The HIG Holding Company expects to receive approximately $2.2 billion of net dividends after considering state deposit and regulatory capital requirements to support growth in certain entities, dividends that are expected to be subsequently contributed to P&C subsidiaries and dividends related to interest on intercompany notes.

HLA has regulatory dividend capacity of $589 in 2026 with approximately $580 of dividends expected in 2026.

There are no current restrictions on HIG Holding Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders.

**Restricted Net Assets**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's insurance subsidiaries had net assets of $16.9 billion, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, that were restricted from payment to the HIG Holding Company, without prior regulatory approval.

**16. Income Taxes** 

Income Tax Expense

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions, as applicable. Income before income taxes included income from domestic operations of $4,618, $3,758 and $3,042 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, and income from foreign operations of $142, $91 and $46 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The Company predominantly pays non-income state taxes as a percentage of premiums written which are accounted for as policy acquisition costs. As the Company has deemed state income taxes immaterial, the provision for income tax expense and the income tax rate reconciliation reflect only federal and foreign income taxes. State income tax expenses and payments were $6, $4 and $3, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets represent the tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

The Hartford has not recorded state deferred taxes, including net deferred tax assets from state operating loss carryforwards, because the Company does not expect to earn state taxable income to utilize such state tax benefits.

A deferred tax valuation allowance has not been recorded because the Company believes its deferred tax assets are more

likely than not to be realized. In reaching this conclusion, management has assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on tax character and jurisdiction. The assessment considered future taxable temporary difference reversals, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryovers, the ability to hold assets to recovery, taxable income in open carry back years and other tax planning strategies which management views as prudent and feasible.

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate in the period of the release.

Other Tax Matters

H.R.1, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" was signed into law on July 4, 2025. This comprehensive budget reconciliation package consolidates a wide array of public policy priorities, reshaping federal policy across numerous sectors of the American economy, including taxation, healthcare, social safety nets, immigration, and education. The changes in H.R.1 do not currently have a material impact on the Company's results of operations nor are they expected to in future periods.

The federal statute of limitations for the Company is closed through the 2021 tax year with the exception of Navigators pre-acquisition 2019 tax period. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for any potential adjustments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.

The Company classifies interest and penalties (if applicable) as income tax expense in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recognized net interest (income)/expenses of $(10), $1 and $2 for interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not believe it would be subject to any penalties in any open tax years and, therefore, has not recorded any accrual for penalties.

**18. Employee Benefit Plans** 

Investment and Savings Plan

Substantially all U.S. employees of the Company are eligible to participate in The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan under which designated contributions may be invested in a variety of investments, including up to 10% in a fund consisting largely of common stock of The Hartford. The Company's contributions include a non-elective contribution of 2.0% of eligible compensation and a dollar-for-dollar matching contribution of up to 6.0% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee. The Company also maintains a non-qualified savings plan, The Hartford Excess Savings Plan, with the dollar-for-dollar matching contributions related to employee compensation in excess of the amount of eligible compensation that can be contributed under the tax-qualified Investment and Savings Plan. An employee's eligible compensation includes overtime and bonuses but for the Investment and Savings Plan and Excess Savings Plan combined, is limited to $1 annually. The total cost to The Hartford for these plans was approximately $183, $193 and $163 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Additionally, The Hartford has established defined contribution pension plans for certain employees of the Company's international subsidiaries. The cost to The Hartford for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 for these plans was $3.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plan- The Company maintains The Hartford Retirement Plan for U.S. Employees, a U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan ("U.S. Pension Plan") that covers substantially all U.S. employees hired prior to January 1, 2013. The Company also maintains non-qualified pension plans to provide retirement benefits previously accrued that are in excess of Internal Revenue Code limitations, as well as a Canadian defined benefit pension plan. Together, the non-qualified and Canadian defined benefit plan are referred to as "Other Pension Plans".

The U.S. Pension Plan includes two benefit formulas, both of which are frozen: a final average pay formula (for which all accruals ceased as of December 31, 2008) and a cash balance formula (for which benefit accruals ceased as of December 31, 2012, although interest will continue to accrue to existing cash balance formula account balances). Employees who were participants as of December 31, 2012 continue to earn vesting credit with respect to their frozen accrued benefits if they continue to work. The interest crediting rate on the cash balance plan is the greater of the average annual yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury Securities published in December of the prior calendar year or 3.3%. The Hartford Excess Pension Plan I and The Hartford Excess Pension Plan II, the Company's non-qualified excess pension benefit plans for certain highly compensated employees, are also frozen.

Group Retiree Health Plan- The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. The Company's contribution for health care benefits

are a function of the retiree's date of retirement and years of service. In addition, the plan has a defined dollar cap for certain retirees which limits average Company contributions. The Hartford has prefunded a portion of the health care obligations where such prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis. Beginning January 1, 2017, for retirees 65 and older who were participating in the Retiree PPO Medical Plan, the Company funds the cost of medical and dental health care benefits through contributions to a Health Reimbursement Account and covered individuals can access a variety of insurance plans from a health care exchange. Effective January 1, 2002, Company-subsidized retiree medical, retiree dental and retiree life insurance benefits were eliminated for employees with original hire dates with the Company on or after January 1, 2002. The Company also amended its postretirement medical, dental and life insurance coverage plans to no longer provide subsidized coverage for employees who retired on or after January 1, 2014.

**Assumptions**

Pursuant to accounting principles related to the Company's pension and other postretirement obligations to employees under its various benefit plans, the Company is required to make a significant number of assumptions in order to calculate the related liabilities and expenses each period. The two economic assumptions that have the most impact on pension and other postretirement expense under the defined benefit pension plans and group retiree health plan are the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. The yield curve used to determine the discount rate is based on yields of high-quality fixed income investments grouped by duration, using the above mean average for each duration group. Based on the available market and industry information reviewed, it was determined that 5.44% and 5.25% were the appropriate discount rates as of December 31, 2025 to calculate the Company's U.S. Pension Plan and other postretirement obligations, respectively.

The expected long-term rate of return considers both current market yields and forecasted investment returns expected to be achieved by the plan's investment strategy over the remaining life of the plan. The Company also considers the plan's funded status, the investment volatility, duration and total returns for various time periods related to the characteristics of the pension obligation, which are influenced by the Company's workforce demographics. For the pension plan, the Company has assumed an allocation of approximately 81% in fixed income securities and 19% in non-fixed income investments (global equities and limited partnerships) in its assumed expected long-term rate of return for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For the other postretirement plan, the Company has assumed an allocation of 100% in fixed income securities in its assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Based upon these analyses, management determined the long-term rate of return assumption to be 6.40% and 4.80% for the Company's U.S. Pension Plan and other postretirement obligations, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 5.90% and 4.50% for the Company's U.S. Pension Plan and other postretirement obligations,

respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. To determine the Company's 2026 expense, the Company has assumed an allocation of 81% in fixed income securities and 19% in non-fixed income investments for the pension plan, contributing to an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 6.40% for the Company's U.S. Pension Plan. The assets of the postretirement plan were depleted as of December 31, 2025.

*[1]Other postretirement benefits paid represent payments from plan assets for non-key employee postretirement medical benefits, Company assets and plan participants' contributions.*

*[2]As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Accumulated Benefit Obligation is equal to the Projected Benefit Obligation.*

*[3]Employer and plan participants' contributions for the Other postretirement benefits represent funding from Company and plan participant assets.*

Changes in assumptions for the U.S. Pension Plan in 2025 primarily included a $69 increase in the benefit obligation for pension benefits as a result of a decrease in the discount rate from 5.65% as of the December 31, 2024 valuation to 5.44% as of the December 31, 2025 valuation. Changes in assumptions in 2024 included a $145 decrease in the benefit obligation for pension benefits as a result of an increase in the discount rate from 5.15% as of the December 31, 2023 valuation to 5.65% as of the December 31, 2024 valuation.

Changes in assumptions for the Other Pension Plans in 2025 primarily included an $8 increase in the benefit obligation for pension benefits as a result of a decrease in the discount rate from 5.59% as of the December 31, 2024 valuation to 5.34% as of the December 31, 2025 valuation. Changes in assumptions in 2024 included a $12 decrease in the benefit obligation for pension benefits as a result of an increase in the discount rate from 5.14% as of the December 31, 2023 valuation to 5.59% as of the December 31, 2024 valuation.

Included in the benefit obligation for the U.S. Pension Plan in the table above, the cash balance plan pension benefit obligation was $321 and $332 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The fair value of assets for total pension plans, and hence the funded status, presented in the table above excludes assets of $287 and $245 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, held in rabbi trusts and designated for the Other Pension Plans. The Company made contributions of $1 in 2025 and made no contributions in 2024. The assets do not qualify as plan assets; however, the assets are available to pay benefits for certain retired, terminated and active participants. Such assets are available to the Company's general creditors in the event of insolvency. The rabbi trusts' assets consist of equity and fixed income investments. To the extent the fair value of these rabbi trusts were included in the table above, total pension plan assets would have been $3,712 and $3,641 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the funded status of total pension plans would have been $293 and $253 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The tables below present an aggregate view of net periodic cost (benefit) and components of other comprehensive income and AOCI for pension plans that includes both the U.S. Pension Plan and Other Pension Plans. Net periodic cost (benefit) is recognized in insurance operating costs and other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

**Investment Strategy and Target Allocation**

The overall investment strategy of the U.S. Pension Plan is to produce total investment returns that provide sufficient funding for present and anticipated future benefit obligations within the constraints of a prudent level of portfolio risk and diversification. With respect to asset management, the oversight responsibility of the U.S. Pension Plan rests with The Hartford's Pension Investment Committee composed of individuals whose responsibilities include establishing overall objectives and the setting of investment policy; selecting appropriate investment options and ranges; selecting qualified service providers such as investment managers and investment consultants; reviewing the asset allocation mix and asset allocation targets on a regular basis; and monitoring performance to determine whether or not the rate of return objectives are being met and that policy and

guidelines are being followed. The Pension Investment Committee has adopted a de-risking glide path that reduces the target allocation to equity securities and limited partnerships and increases the allocation to fixed income securities over time in response to improvement in the funded status of the U.S. Pension Plan. The Company believes that the asset allocation decision will be the single most important factor determining the long-term performance of the U.S. Pension Plan.

time, cause the asset allocation to deviate from the desired asset allocation ranges. The asset allocation mix is reviewed on a periodic basis. If it is determined that an asset allocation mix rebalancing is required, future portfolio additions and withdrawals will be used first, as necessary, to bring the allocation within tactical ranges, before shifting assets across portfolios.

The U.S. Pension Plan invests in multiple asset classes reflecting the current needs, investment preferences, risk tolerances and the desired degree of diversification of the U.S.

Pension Plan. These asset classes include publicly traded fixed income securities and equities, private fixed income securities, commercial mortgage loans and limited partnerships. Investment portfolios are primarily managed by affiliated managers.

In addition, the Company uses U.S. Treasury bond futures contracts and U.S. Treasury STRIPS, in addition to certain other investments, in a duration overlay program to adjust the duration of U.S. Pension Plan assets to better match the duration of the benefit obligation.

The tables below provide fair value level 3 roll forwards for the U.S. Pension Plan Assets for which significant unobservable inputs ("Level 3") are used in the fair value measurement on a recurring basis. The U.S. Pension Plan classifies the fair value of financial instruments within Level 3 if there are no observable markets for the instruments or, in the absence of active markets, if one or more of the significant inputs used to determine fair value are based on the U.S. Pension Plan's own assumptions. Therefore, the gains and losses in the tables below include changes in fair value due to both observable and unobservable factors.

**Other Postretirement Plan Assets at Fair Value**

The other postretirement plan held $8 of short-term investments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024. There were no remaining assets in the other postretirement plan as of December 31, 2025.

**Concentration of Risk**

In order to minimize risk, the Pension Plan maintains a listing of permissible and prohibited investments. In addition, the Pension Plan has certain concentration limits and investment quality requirements imposed on permissible investment options. Permissible investments include U.S. equity, international equity, limited partnership and fixed income investments including derivative instruments. Permissible derivative instruments include futures contracts, options, swaps, currency forwards, caps or floors and may be used to control risk or enhance return but will not be used for leverage purposes.

Securities specifically prohibited from purchase include, but are not limited to: shares or fixed income instruments issued by The Hartford (other than equity securities purchased on the open market as part of a passively managed strategy), short sales of any type within long-only portfolios, non-derivative securities involving the use of margin, leveraged floaters and inverse floaters, including money market obligations, natural resource real properties such as oil, gas or timber and precious metals.

Other than U.S. government and certain U.S. government agencies backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.

government, the Pension Plan does not have any material exposure to any concentration risk of a single issuer.

**Expected Employer Contributions**

The Company does not have a 2026 required minimum funding contribution for the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. The Company has not determined whether, and to what extent, contributions may be made to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2026. The Company will monitor the funded status of the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan during 2026 to make this determination.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**19. Stock Compensation Plans** 

The Company's stock-based compensation plans are described below. Shares issued in satisfaction of stock-based compensation may be made available from authorized but unissued shares, shares held by the Company in treasury or from shares purchased in the open market. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued shares from treasury in satisfaction of stock-based compensation.

The Hartford measures stock compensation at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense, included in insurance operating costs and other expenses in the consolidated statement of operations, was as follows:

**Stock-Based Compensation Expense**

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **For the years ended December 31,** | **For the years ended December 31,** | **For the years ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Stock-based compensation plans expense | $141 | $133 | $125 |
| Income tax benefit | (22) | (21) | (22) |
| Excess tax benefit on awards vested, exercised and expired | (16) | (21) | (12) |
| **Total stock-based compensation plans expense, net of tax** | $**103** | $**91** | $**91** |

---

The Company did not capitalize any cost of stock-based compensation. As of December 31, 2025, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $84, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years.

Stock Plan

Future stock-based awards may be granted under The Hartford's 2025 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") rather than the Subsidiary Stock Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for awards to be granted in the form of non-qualified or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock or restricted stock units, or any other form of stock-based award. The maximum number of shares, subject to adjustments set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan, that may be issued to Company employees and third-party service providers during the 10-year duration of the Stock Incentive Plan is the sum of 8,500,000 shares, any shares forfeited subsequent to February 28, 2025, plus any shares used for tax withholding purposes. If any award under an earlier

incentive stock plan is forfeited, terminated, surrendered, exchanged, expires unexercised, or is settled in cash in lieu of stock (including to effect tax withholding) or for the net issuance of a lesser number of shares than the number subject to the award, the shares of stock subject to such award (or the relevant portion thereof) shall be available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan and such shares shall be added to the maximum limit. As of December 31, 2025, there were 8,684,883 shares available for future issuance.

The fair values of awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan are measured as of the grant date and expensed ratably over the awards' vesting periods, generally three years. For stock awards to retirement-eligible employees, the Company recognizes the expense over a period shorter than the stated vesting period because the employees may receive accelerated vesting upon retirement and, therefore, the vesting period is considered non-substantive.

Stock Option Awards

Under the Stock Incentive Plan, options granted have an exercise price at least equal to the closing stock price on the New York Stock Exchange for the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and an option's maximum term is not to exceed 10 years. Options generally become exercisable over a period of three years commencing one year from the date of grant.

The Company uses a hybrid lattice/Monte-Carlo based option valuation model (the "Plan Valuation Model") that incorporates the possibility of early exercise of options into the valuation. The Plan Valuation Model also incorporates the Company's historical termination and exercise experience to determine the option value.

The Plan Valuation Model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, and those ranges are disclosed below. The term structure of volatility is generally constructed utilizing implied volatilities from exchange-traded options, historical volatility of the Company's stock and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the Plan Valuation Model, and accommodates variations in employee preference and risk-tolerance by segregating the grantee pool into a series of behavioral cohorts and conducting a fair valuation for each cohort individually. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option Plan Valuation Model and represents, in a mathematical sense, the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the period in excess of the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable. The aggregate intrinsic value excludes the effect of stock options that have a zero or negative intrinsic value. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $34.33, $25.77 and $21.09, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, The Hartford received $36, $92, and $47, respectively, in cash from exercised stock options. The Hartford recognized tax benefits of $2, $4, and $3 on stock options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $52, $99, and $35, respectively.

Share Awards

Share awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and outstanding include restricted stock units and performance shares. Performance shares become payable within a range of 0% to 200% of the number of shares initially granted based upon the attainment of specific performance goals achieved at the end of a performance period of three years.

Performance share awards that are not dependent on market conditions are valued equal to the closing stock price on the New York Stock Exchange for the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock compensation expense for these performance share awards without market conditions is based on a current estimate of the number of awards expected to vest based on the performance level achieved and, therefore, may change during the performance period as new estimates of performance are available.

Other performance share awards or portions thereof have a market condition based upon the Company's total stockholder return relative to a pre-determined group of peer companies as of December 31 at the end of the three year performance period. Stock compensation expense for these performance share awards is based on the number of awards expected to vest as estimated at the grant date and, therefore, does not change for changes in estimated performance. The Company uses a risk neutral Monte-Carlo Plan Valuation Model that incorporates time to maturity, implied volatilities of the Company and the peer companies, and correlations between the Company and the peer companies and interest rates.

In addition to the non-vested shares presented in the above table, there are related non-vested dividend equivalent shares. The number of non-vested dividend equivalent shares related to restricted stock units was 84 thousand and 107 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the number of non-vested dividend equivalent shares related to performance shares was 14 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The dividend equivalent shares are subject to the same vesting terms as the restricted stock units and performance shares.

The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $117.21, $96.34 and $77.72, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of performance shares granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $122.37, $103.08 and $85.69, respectively.

Subsidiary Stock Plan

The Hartford has a subsidiary stock-based compensation plan similar to the Stock Incentive Plan, except that it awards non-public subsidiary stock as compensation. The Company recognized stock-based compensation plan expense of $12 for

the subsidiary stock plan in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Upon employee vesting of subsidiary stock, the Company recognizes a noncontrolling equity interest. Employees are restricted from selling vested subsidiary stock to anyone other than the Company and the Company has discretion on the amount of stock to repurchase. Therefore, the subsidiary stock is classified as equity because it is not mandatorily redeemable. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased $12, $10 and $11, respectively, in subsidiary stock.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company sponsors The Hartford Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). Under this plan, eligible employees of The Hartford purchase common stock of the Company at a discount rate of 5% of the market price per share on the last trading day of the offering period. Accordingly, the plan is a non-compensatory plan. Employees purchase a variable number of shares of stock through payroll deductions elected as of the beginning of the offering period. The Company may sell up to 15,400,000 shares of stock to eligible employees under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2025, there were 2,893,304 shares available for future issuance. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 120,805 shares, 141,500 shares, and 194,561 shares were sold, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, The Hartford received $15, $14 and $13, respectively, in cash from sales under this plan.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)**

**21. Restructuring and Other Costs**

In recognition of the need to become more cost efficient and competitive along with enhancing the experience we provide to agents and customers, on July 30, 2020 the Company announced an operational transformation and cost reduction plan it refers to as Hartford Next. Hartford Next was intended to reduce annual insurance operating costs and other expenses through reduction of the Company's headcount, investment in information technology ("IT") to further enhance our capabilities, and other activities.

Termination benefits related to workforce reductions and professional fees are included within restructuring and other costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and unpaid restructuring costs are included in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the year ended

December 31, 2023, the severance benefits accrual was reduced by $6 due to higher than expected voluntary attrition. There was no liability for restructuring and other costs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The program is substantially complete, though the Company may incur additional costs related to real estate that has been temporarily idled as part of Hartford Next.Total restructuring and other costs, excluding any additional costs related to temporarily idled real estate, are approximately $127, before tax, and have been recognized in the Corporate category for segment reporting.

## Exhibit 4.14

**EXHIBIT 4.14**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES** 

**REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE** 

**SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934** 

As of December 31, 2025, The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Company") had three classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"): (1) Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share; (2) 6.10% Notes due 2041; and (3) Depositary Shares Each Representing a 1/1,000th Interest in a Share of 6.000% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G, par value $0.01 per share. Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" or similar terms are to The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries and references to the "The Hartford" are to The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively.

**Description of Common Stock**

The following description of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and our Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "By-Laws"), each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.14 is a part. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our By-Laws and General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") for additional information.

**Authorized Shares** 

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we have the authority to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share.

**Dividend Rights**

**No Preemptive and/or Other Similar Rights**

Holders of our Common Stock have no preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund or redemption rights, are not entitled to any preemptive rights by virtue of their status as stockholders and that status does not entitle them to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series, and generally have no appraisal rights except in certain limited transactions. Under Delaware law, our stockholders generally are not liable for our debts or obligations.

**Voting rights**

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by our stockholders. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. In addition, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have and possess the exclusive right to notice of stockholders' meetings and the exclusive power to vote.

**Liquidation rights**

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after any holders of preferred stock then outstanding shall have been paid in full in cash the amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled or a sum sufficient for such payment in full shall have been set aside, the remaining net assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their respective rights and interest, to the exclusion of any holders of our preferred stock then outstanding.

**Certain Anti-Takeover Effects**

Certain provisions of the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws contain provisions that could have certain anti-takeover effects and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, as discussed below:

***Authorized But Unissued Shares*** - Our board of directors has the authority, without the approval of our stockholders, to cause our preferred stock to be issued in one or more classes or series, or both, with the numbers of shares of each class or

------

series and the provisions, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each class or series to be determined by it.

***No Action by Written Consent; Limited Special Meeting Right*** - Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting and cannot be taken by written consent. Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws also provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called by the chairman of our board of directors, by a vote of the majority of the entire board of directors, or by stockholders holding at least twenty-five percent of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share, then-outstanding and eligible to vote on the issue(s) to be considered at such special meeting, subject to certain conditions and limitations. In addition, our By-Laws provide that only such business as is specified in the notice of any special meeting of stockholders may come before the meeting.

***Advance Notice Requirements*** - Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters which can be acted upon at stockholders' meetings.

***Number of Directors; Filling of Vacancies* -** Our By-Laws provide that the number of directors that constitute our board of directors may be set from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire board of directors, but that such number shall not be less than three nor more than twenty-five. In addition, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, or any vacancy, may be filled by a vote of a majority of directors then in office

***No Cumulative Voting*** *-* Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock and do not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

***Delaware Business Combination Statute*** - As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL provides that we may not engage in certain "business combinations" with any "interested stockholder" for a three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the transaction or the business combination that results in a person becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon consummation of the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns 85% or more of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and shares owned by certain employee stock plans, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• on or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors and by holders of at least two-thirds of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder, at a meeting of stockholders.

Under Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is defined as any person (or the affiliates or associates of such person), other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary that is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether the person is an interested stockholder.

**Listing**

Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the symbol "HIG."

**Description of Notes**

The following description of our 6.10% Notes due 2041 (the "Notes") is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the indenture, dated as of March 9, 2004, between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "2004 Indenture"), which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.14 is a part.

We encourage you to read the above referenced 2004 Indenture, for additional information.

**General**

The Notes were issued under the 2004 Indenture, which provides that debt securities may be issued under the 2004 Indenture from time to time in one or more series. The 2004 Indenture and the Notes are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The 2004 Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue under that 2004 Indenture. Subject to certain tax limitations, we may, without the consent of any holders of any of the Notes, re-open this series of Notes on terms identical in all respects to the outstanding Notes (except the date of issuance, the

------

date interest begins to accrue and, in certain circumstances, the first interest payment date), so that such additional notes of the Company shall be consolidated with, form a single issue with and increase the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

**Maturity, Interest and Principal** 

The Notes were initially issued with an aggregate principal amount of $408,774,000. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2041. The Notes bear interest from October 10, 2006 at a fixed interest rate of 6.10% per annum. We pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, having commenced on April 1, 2007, to the record holders at the close of business on the preceding March 15 or September 15 (whether or not a business day). Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

**Optional Redemption**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may redeem the Notes at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate (as defined in the 2004 Indenture) plus 20 basis points. In addition, we will pay accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the holder prior to maturity and do not benefit from any sinking fund.

**Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance**

The 2004 Indenture provides that we may discharge all of our obligations, other than as to transfers and exchanges and certain other specified obligations, under the Notes at any time. This procedure is referred to as "defeasance." In addition, we may also be released from our obligations subject to the "Limitation upon Liens" and "Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets" (described in the sections below) and from certain other obligations, including obligations imposed by supplemental indentures with respect to the Notes, if any, and elect not to comply with those sections and obligations without creating an event of default. This second procedure is referred to as "covenant defeasance."

Defeasance or covenant defeasance, will be conditioned upon, among other things, on our irrevocable deposit with the trustee money or United States government obligations or a combination thereof, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay and discharge on the respective stated maturities, the principal of and any premium and interest on, all outstanding debt securities of that series.

**Limitations upon Liens**

With certain exceptions as set forth below, the 2004 Indenture provides that neither we nor our restricted subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or permit to exist any lien, except liens created, incurred, assumed or existing prior to the execution date of the 2004 Indenture, on, any property or assets (including the capital stock of any restricted subsidiary) now owned or hereafter acquired by it, or sell or transfer or create any lien on any income or revenues or rights in respect thereof.

***General Exceptions***

The restriction on our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to create, incur, assume or permit to exist liens will not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liens on any property or asset acquired, constructed or improved by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries subsequent to the execution of the 2004 Indenture which are created or assumed to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price of such property or asset or the cost of such construction or improvement, or any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance on any lien on any such property or asset existing at the time of acquisition thereof; provided, however, that such lien shall not extend to any other property owned by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liens existing upon any property or asset of a company which is merged with or into or is consolidated into, or substantially all the assets or shares of capital stock of which are acquired by, us or any of our restricted subsidiaries, at the time of such merger, consolidation or acquisition; provided that such lien does not extend to any other property or asset, other than improvements to the property or asset subject to such lien;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any pledge or deposit to secure payment of workers' compensation or insurance premiums, or in connection with tenders, bids, contracts (other than contracts for the payment of money) or leases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any pledge of, or other lien upon, any assets as security for the payment of any tax, assessment or other similar charge by any governmental authority or public body, or as security required by law or governmental regulation as a condition to the transaction of any business or the exercise of any privilege or right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liens necessary to secure a stay of any legal or equitable process in a proceeding to enforce a liability or obligation contested in good faith by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries or required in connection with the institution by us or

------

any of our restricted subsidiaries of any legal or equitable proceeding to enforce a right or to obtain a remedy claimed in good faith by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries, or required in connection with any order or decree in any such proceeding or in connection with any contest of any tax or other governmental charge; or the making of any deposit with or the giving of any form of security to any governmental agency or any body created or approved by law or governmental regulation in order to entitle us or any of our restricted subsidiaries to maintain self-insurance or to participate in any fund in connection with workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, old age pensions or other social security or to share in any provisions or other benefits provided for companies participating in any such arrangement or for liability on insurance of credits or other risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mechanics', carriers', workmen's, repairmen's, or other like liens, if arising in the ordinary course of business, in respect of obligations which are not overdue or liability which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liens on property in favor of the United States, or of any agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure partial, progress or advance payments pursuant to the provisions of any contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liens securing indebtedness of any of our restricted subsidiaries to us or to another restricted subsidiary; provided that in the case of any sale or other disposition of such indebtedness by us or such restricted subsidiary, such sale or other disposition shall be deemed to constitute the creation of another lien not permitted by this clause;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liens affecting our or any of our restricted subsidiaries' property securing indebtedness of the United States or a state thereof (or any instrumentality or agency of either thereof) issued in connection with a pollution control or abatement program required in our opinion to meet environmental criteria with respect to our or any of our restricted subsidiaries' operations and the proceeds of which indebtedness have financed the cost of acquisition of such program; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the renewal, extension, replacement or refunding of any mortgage, pledge, lien, deposit, charge or other encumbrance, permitted as specified above; provided that in each case such amount outstanding at that time shall not be increased.

***Exceptions for Specified Amount of Indebtedness***

In addition, we and one or more of our restricted subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or permit to exist any lien which would otherwise be subject to the above restrictions, provided that immediately after the creation or assumption of such lien, the total of the aggregate principal amount of our and our restricted subsidiaries' indebtedness (not including any liens incurred pursuant to the exceptions described above under "General Exceptions") secured by such liens shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of our consolidated net tangible assets.

**Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets**

We will not consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey, transfer or lease our assets substantially as an entirety to any person, and no person may consolidate with or merge into us, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we will be the surviving company in any merger or consolidation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we consolidate with or merge into another person or convey, transfer or lease our assets substantially as an entirety to any person, the successor person is an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the successor entity expressly assumes our obligations relating to the Notes,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• immediately after giving effect to the consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, there exists no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other conditions described in the 2004 Indenture are met.

This covenant would not apply to the direct or indirect conveyance, transfer or lease of all or any portion of the stock, assets or liabilities of any of our wholly owned subsidiaries to us or to our other wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, this covenant would not apply to any recapitalization transaction, a change of control of the Company or a highly leveraged transaction unless such transaction or change of control were structured to include a merger or consolidation by us or the conveyance, transfer or lease of our assets substantially as an entirety.

**Events of Default** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Under the terms of the 2004 Indenture, each of the following constitutes an event of default for the Notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• default for 30 days in the payment of any interest when due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• default in the payment of principal, or premium, if any, when due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty in the 2004 Indenture for 60 days after written notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other event of default described in the applicable board resolution or supplemental indenture, if any, under which the Notes are issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are required to furnish the trustee annually with a certificate as to the fulfillment of our obligations under the 2004 Indenture. The 2004 Indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to holders of the Notes of any default, except in respect of the payment of principal or interest on the Notes, if it considers it in the interests of the holders of such Notes to do so.

------

***Effect of an Event of Default***

If an event of default exists (other than an event of default with respect to the Notes in the case of certain events of bankruptcy), the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to us, and to the trustee if given by holders. Upon that declaration the principal amount will become immediately due and payable. However, at any time after a declaration of acceleration of outstanding Notes has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may, subject to conditions specified in the 2004 Indenture, rescind and annul that declaration.

If an event of default in the case of certain events of bankruptcy exists, the principal amount of all Notes outstanding under the 2004 Indenture shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder of such outstanding Notes, become immediately due and payable.

Subject to the provisions of the 2004 Indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default then exists, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the 2004 Indenture (other than the payment of any amounts on the Notes furnished to it pursuant to the 2004 Indenture) at a holder's (or any other person's) request, order or direction, unless the trustee has been offered reasonable security or indemnity against fees, advance costs, expense and liabilities which it might incur in connection with the exercise of such rights and powers. Subject to the provisions for the security or indemnification of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee in connection with the Notes.

**Modification and Waiver**

***Modification***

We and the trustee may modify and amend the 2004 Indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each of the outstanding Notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest payable on, any outstanding Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on or any premium payable upon the redemption of, or the amount of principal of an original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon a redemption or would be provable in bankruptcy, or adversely affect any right of repayment of the holder of, any outstanding Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the place of payment, or the coin or currency in which any outstanding Notes or the interest on any outstanding Notes is payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impair a holder's right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any outstanding Notes on or after the stated maturity or redemption date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the percentage of the holders of outstanding Notes necessary to modify or amend the 2004 Indenture, waive compliance with certain provisions of the 2004 Indenture or certain defaults and consequences of such defaults or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth in the 2004 Indenture; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• modify any of these provisions or any of the provisions relating to the collection of indebtedness in an event of default, the waiver of certain past defaults or certain covenants, except to increase the required percentage to effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be modified or waived without the consent of all of the holders of the Notes affected by such provisions.

***Waiver***

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the holders of all the Notes, waive compliance by us with certain restrictive covenants of the 2004 Indenture.

The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the holders of the Notes, generally waive any past default under the 2004 Indenture relating to the Notes and the consequences of such default. However, a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or any interest on, any of the Notes or relating to a covenant or provision which, under the 2004 Indenture relating to the Notes cannot, be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note affected, cannot be so waived.

**Ranking**

The Notes are our unsecured senior indebtedness and rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding.

------

**Trustee**

The trustee under the 2004 Indenture is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and has all the duties and responsibilities of an indenture trustee specified in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in performing its duties or exercising its rights and powers if it reasonably believes that it is not reasonably assured of repayment or adequate indemnity.

The trustee acts as depositary for funds of, makes loans to, and performs other services for, us and our subsidiaries in the normal course of business.

**Description of Depositary Shares**

The following description of our Depositary Shares (the "Depositary Shares"), each representing a 1/1,000th Interest in a Share of 6.000% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G (the "Series G Preferred Stock"), is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2018 (the "Deposit Agreement"), between the Company and Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the "Depositary), which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.14 is a part.

We encourage you to read the above referenced Deposit Agreement for additional information.

**Dividends and Other Distributions**

The Depositary will distribute any cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the deposited Series G Preferred Stock to the record holders of the Depositary Shares in proportion to the number of the Depositary Shares held by each holder on the relevant record date. The Depositary will distribute any property received by it other than cash to the record holders of the Depositary Shares entitled to those distributions, unless it determines that a distribution cannot be made proportionally among those holders or that it is not feasible to make such distribution. In that event, the Depositary may, with our approval, sell such property received by it and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of the Depositary Shares entitled to such distribution in proportion to the number of the Depositary Shares they hold.

Record dates for the payment of dividends and other matters relating to the Depositary Shares are the same as the corresponding record dates for the Series G Preferred Stock. In the event of any distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to you based on instructions from us. The amounts distributed to holders of the Depositary Shares will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by the Depositary or by us on account of taxes or other governmental charges.

**Redemption of the Depositary Shares**

If we redeem the Series G Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares, in whole or in part, a corresponding number of Depositary Shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the Depositary resulting from the redemption of the Series G Preferred Stock held by the Depositary. The redemption price per Depositary Share will be equal to 1/1,000th of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to any dividends thereon that, pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, are payable upon redemption. Whenever we redeem shares of the Series G Preferred Stock held by the Depositary, the Depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of the Depositary Shares representing shares of the Series G Preferred Stock so redeemed.

In case of any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Depositary Shares, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will be selected by the Depositary either pro rata, or by lot (or, in the event the Depositary Shares are in the form of global depositary receipts, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC in compliance with then-applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange). In any such case, the Depositary will redeem the Depositary Shares only in increments of 1,000 shares and any integral multiple thereof.

The Depositary will mail (or otherwise transmit by an authorized method) notice of redemption to holders of the Depositary Shares not less than 30, nor more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for redemption of the Series G Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares.

**Voting of the Depositary Shares**

When the Depositary receives notice of any meeting at which the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary will mail (or otherwise transmit by an authorized method) the information contained in the notice to the record holders of the Depositary Shares. Each record holder of Depositary Shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the Series G Preferred Stock, may instruct the Depositary to vote the amount of the Series G Preferred Stock represented by the holder's Depositary Shares. Although each Depositary Share is entitled to 1/1,000th of a vote, the Depositary can only vote whole shares of Series G Preferred Stock. To the extent possible, the Depositary will vote the

------

amount of the Series G Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares in accordance with the instructions it receives. We will agree to take all reasonable actions that the Depositary determines are necessary to enable the Depositary to vote as instructed. If the Depositary does not receive specific instructions from the holders of any Depositary Shares, it will not vote the amount of the Series G Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares.

**Description of Series G Preferred Stock**

The following description of our Series G Preferred Stock is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations creating the Series G Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"), which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.14 is a part.

**General**

We have 50,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock. Our board of directors is empowered, without the approval of our stockholders, to cause our preferred stock to be issued in one or more classes or series, or both, with the numbers of shares of each class or series and the provisions, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each class or series to be determined by it. The shares of Series G Preferred Stock represented by Depositary Shares are part of a single series of authorized preferred stock consisting of 13,800 shares. We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of, holders of the Depositary Shares and the underlying Series G Preferred Stock, issue additional Series G Preferred Stock.

The Series G Preferred Stock rank senior to our junior stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and equally with each other series of our preferred stock that we may issue (except for any senior series that may be issued with the requisite consent of the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock), with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of us. In addition, we will generally be able to pay dividends, any redemption price and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of us only out of lawfully available funds for such payment (i.e., after taking account of all indebtedness and other non-equity claims). The Series G Preferred Stock were fully paid and nonassessable when issued, which means that holders have paid their purchase price in full and that we may not ask them to surrender additional funds. Holders of the Series G Preferred Stock do not have preemptive or subscription rights to acquire more of our stock.

The Series G Preferred Stock are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Series G Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund, retirement fund or purchase fund or other obligation of the Company to redeem, repurchase or retire the Series G Preferred Stock.

**Dividends**

Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are not mandatory. Holders of Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors), out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, under Delaware law, non-cumulative cash dividends that accrue for the relevant dividend period from the date of original issue, quarterly in arrears on the 15<sup>th</sup> day of February, May, August and November of each year. If we issue additional shares of Series G Preferred Stock after the original issue date, dividends on such shares may accrue from the original issue date or any other date we specify at the time such additional shares are issued. Payment dates are subject to adjustment for business days.

A "dividend period" is the period from, and including, a dividend payment date to, but excluding, the next dividend payment date, except that the initial dividend period commenced on, and included, the original issue date of the Series G Preferred Stock and ended on, but excluded, the February 15, 2019 dividend payment date.

Dividends are payable to holders of record of the Series G Preferred Stock as they appear on our books on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15<sup>th</sup> calendar day before that dividend payment date or such other record date fixed by our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board) that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such dividend payment date (each, a "dividend record date"). Dividend record dates will apply regardless of whether a particular dividend record date is a business day.

Dividends payable on the Series G Preferred Stock are calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any dividend payment date is a day that is not a business day (as defined herein), then the dividend with respect to that dividend payment date will instead be paid on the immediately succeeding business day, without interest or other payment in respect of such delayed payment.

Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are not cumulative. Accordingly, if our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board), does not declare a dividend on the Series G Preferred Stock payable in respect of any dividend period before the related dividend payment date, such dividend will not accrue, we will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that dividend period on the dividend payment date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are declared for any future dividend period, and no interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend not so declared.

------

So long as any Series G Preferred Stock remains outstanding for any dividend period, unless the full dividends for the latest completed dividend period on all outstanding Series G Preferred Stock and parity stock have been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no dividend shall be paid or declared on our Common Stock or any other shares of our junior stock (as defined below) (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of junior stock); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no Common Stock or other junior stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of junior stock for or into other junior stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of junior stock for or into another share of junior stock and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of junior stock) during a dividend period.

As used herein, "junior stock" means our Common Stock and any other class or series of our stock that ranks junior to the Series G Preferred Stock either as to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or as to the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of us.

As used herein, "parity stock" means any class or series of our stock that ranks equally with the Series G Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of The Hartford.

We do not currently have any junior stock other than the Common Stock, any parity stock, or any senior preferred stock outstanding.

When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside) in full on any dividend payment date (or, in the case of parity stock having dividend payment dates different from the dividend payment dates pertaining to the Series G Preferred Stock, on a dividend payment date falling within the related dividend period for the Series G Preferred Stock) on the Series G Preferred Stock or any shares of parity stock, all dividends declared on the Series G Preferred Stock and all such parity stock and payable on such dividend payment date (or, in the case of parity stock having dividend payment dates different from the dividend payment dates pertaining to the Series G Preferred Stock, on a dividend payment date falling within the related dividend period for the Series G Preferred Stock) shall be declared *pro rata* so that the respective amounts of such dividends shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued but unpaid dividends per Series G Preferred Stock and all parity stock payable on such dividend payment date (or, in the case of parity stock having dividend payment dates different from the dividend payment dates pertaining to the Series G Preferred Stock, on a dividend payment date falling within the related dividend period for the Series G Preferred Stock) bear to each other.

Subject to the foregoing, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board) may be declared and paid on our Common Stock and any other junior stock from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and the Series G Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock will not be declared, paid or set aside for payment if we fail to comply, or if such act would cause us to fail to comply, with applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, to the extent we become subject to regulation by a "capital regulator," any applicable capital adequacy guidelines).

**Liquidation Rights**

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of The Hartford, holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and any parity stock are entitled to receive out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, if any, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Stock and any other junior stock, a liquidating distribution in the amount of $25,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary Share), plus declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. Holders of the Series G Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any other amounts from us after they have received their full liquidation preference (as defined below).

In any such distribution, if our assets are not sufficient to pay the liquidation preferences in full to all holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and all holders of any parity stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Series G Preferred Stock and to the holders of any parity stock will be paid *pro rata* in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidation preferences of those holders. In any such distribution, the "liquidation preference" of any holder of preferred stock means the amount payable to such holder in such distribution, including any declared but unpaid dividends (and any unpaid, accrued cumulative dividends in the case of any holder of stock (other than Series G Preferred Stock) on which dividends accrue on a cumulative basis). If the liquidation preference has been paid in full to all holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and any holders of parity stock, the holders of our other stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Company according to their respective rights and preferences.

For purposes of this section, our merger or consolidation with any other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or

------

exchange of all or substantially all of our assets for cash, securities or other property shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of us.

**Optional Redemption**

The Series G Preferred Stock is not subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund, retirement fund, purchase fund or other similar provisions. We may redeem the Series G Preferred Stock at our option:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in whole but not in part, at any time prior to November 15, 2023, within 90 days after the occurrence of a "rating agency event," at a redemption price equal to $25,500 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (equivalent to $25.50 per Depositary Share), plus (except as provided below) an amount equal to any dividends per share that have accrued but not been declared and paid for the then-current dividend period to, but excluding, the redemption date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• (i) in whole but not in part, at any time prior to November 15, 2023, within 90 days after the occurrence of a "regulatory capital event," or (ii) in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after November 15, 2023, in each case (i) and (ii), at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends per share that have accrued but not been declared and paid for the then-current dividend period to, but excluding, such redemption date.

Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the dividend record date for a dividend period will not constitute a part of, or be paid to, the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather will be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on the dividend record date relating to such dividend payment date.

Holders of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock do not have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series G Preferred Stock.

"Rating agency event" means that any nationally recognized statistical rating organization as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act or in any successor provision thereto, that then publishes a rating for us (a "rating agency") amends, clarifies or changes the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the Series G Preferred Stock, which amendment, clarification or change results in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the shortening of the length of time the Series G Preferred Stock are assigned a particular level of equity credit by that rating agency as compared to the length of time they would have been assigned that level of equity credit by that rating agency or its predecessor on the initial issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the lowering of the equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Series G Preferred Stock by that rating agency as compared to the equity credit assigned by that rating agency or its predecessor on the initial issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock.

"Regulatory capital event" means that we become subject to capital adequacy supervision by a capital regulator and the capital adequacy guidelines that apply to us as a result of being so subject set forth criteria pursuant to which the aggregate liquidation preference amount of the Series G Preferred Stock would not qualify as capital under such capital adequacy guidelines, as we may determine at any time, in our sole discretion.

"Capital regulator" means any governmental agency, instrumentality or standard-setting organization, including, but not limited to, the Federal Insurance Office ("FIO"), the National Association of Insurance Companies ("NAIC"), or any state insurance regulator, as may then have group-wide oversight of the Company's regulatory capital.

If the Series G Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall be given by first class mail to the holders of record of the Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed, mailed not less than 30 days, nor more than 90 days, prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof (*provided* that, if the Series G Preferred Stock is held in book-entry form through DTC we may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC). Each notice of redemption will include a statement setting forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the redemption date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the redemption price; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the place or places where holders may surrender certificates evidencing the Series G Preferred Stock for payment of the redemption price.

If notice of redemption of any Series G Preferred Stock has been given, and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by us for the benefit of the holders of any Series G Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such Series G Preferred Stock, and such Series G Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such Series G Preferred Stock will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price.

------

In case of any redemption of only part of the Series G Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either *pro rata* or by lot (or, in the event the Series G Preferred Stock is in the form of global securities, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC in compliance with then-applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange).

If the Series G Preferred Stock is treated as "Tier 1 capital" (or a substantially similar concept) under the capital guidelines of a capital regulator at any time in the future, any redemption of the Series G Preferred Stock may be subject to our receipt of any required prior approval from the capital regulator and to the satisfaction of any conditions to our redemption of the Series G Preferred Stock set forth in those capital guidelines or any other applicable regulations of the capital regulator.

**Voting Rights**

Except as provided below or as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock have no voting rights.

Whenever dividends on any Series G Preferred Stock shall have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend payments, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a "Nonpayment"), the holders of such Series G Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other series of voting preferred stock (as defined below) then outstanding, will be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of our board of directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors"), *provided* that the election of any such directors shall not cause us to violate the corporate governance requirement of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which our securities may be listed) that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors. In that event, the number of directors on our board of directors shall automatically increase by two, and the new directors shall be elected at a special meeting called at the request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the Series G Preferred Stock or of any other series of voting preferred stock (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting. These voting rights will continue until dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock and any such series of voting preferred stock for at least four consecutive dividend periods following the Nonpayment shall have been fully paid.

As used herein, "voting preferred stock" means any other class or series of our preferred stock ranking equally with the Series G Preferred Stock either as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. Whether a plurality, majority or other portion of the Series G Preferred Stock and any other voting preferred stock have been voted in favor of any matter shall be determined by reference to the liquidation amounts of the Series G Preferred Stock voted.

If and when dividends for at least four consecutive dividend periods following a Nonpayment have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for such payment shall have been set aside, the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock shall be divested of the foregoing voting rights (subject to revesting in the event of each subsequent Nonpayment) and, if such voting rights for all other holders of voting preferred stock have terminated, the term of office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate and the number of directors on the board of directors shall automatically decrease by two. In determining whether dividends have been paid for four dividend periods following a Nonpayment, we may take account of any dividend we elect to pay for such a dividend period after the regular dividend payment date for that period has passed. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock and any other shares of voting preferred stock then outstanding (voting together as a class) when they have the voting rights described above. So long as a Nonpayment shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director (other than prior to the initial election after a Nonpayment) may be filled by the written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or, if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock and any other shares of voting preferred stock then outstanding (voting together as a class) when they have the voting rights described above. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.

So long as any Series G Preferred Stock remains outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock and all other series of voting preferred stock entitled to vote thereon (voting together as a class), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amend or alter the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designations for the Series G Preferred Stock so as to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of stock ranking senior to the Series G Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amend, alter or repeal the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designations for the Series G Preferred Stock so as to materially and adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series G Preferred Stock, taken as a whole; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consummate a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series G Preferred Stock or our merger or consolidation with another entity, unless in each case (i) the Series G Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which we are not the surviving or resulting entity, is converted

into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (ii) such Series G Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, has such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series G Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;

*provided*, *however*, that any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued Series G Preferred Stock or authorized preferred stock or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of other series of preferred stock ranking equally with and/or junior to the Series G Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series G Preferred Stock.

If an amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation described above would materially and adversely affect one or more, but not all, series of voting preferred stock (including the Series G Preferred Stock for this purpose), then only the series materially and adversely affected by such event and entitled to vote shall vote as a class in lieu of all series of voting preferred stock.

To the fullest extent permitted by the law, without the consent of the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock, so long as such action does not adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series G Preferred Stock, taken as a whole, we may supplement any terms of the Series G Preferred Stock:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct or supplement any provision contained in the Certificate of Designations for the Series G Preferred Stock that may be defective or inconsistent; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to make any provision with respect to matters or questions arising with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations.

The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding Series G Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice, and sufficient funds shall have been set aside by us for the benefit of the holders of Series G Preferred Stock to effect such redemption.

**THE HARTFORD 2025 LONG TERM INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN:** 

**ADMINISTRATIVE RULES** 

**<u>RELATING TO AWARDS FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS</u>**

Set forth below, effective as of February 17, 2026, are the Administrative Rules ("Rules") which have been authorized by the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Company") for the administration of awards under The Hartford 2025 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") for Non-Employee Directors of the Company. All terms and conditions of the Plan (including those relating to any Change of Control of the Company), as they may be amended from time to time, and the rules and interpretations applicable under the Plan, as they may be adopted by the Compensation Committee from time to time, shall apply to all awards granted under the Plan except as otherwise provided pursuant to the Rules set forth herein. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified herein or assigned by the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.<u>Annual Non-Employee Director RSU Awards</u>. Each year, an annual award of RSUs automatically shall be made in such amount as shall be determined to be appropriate by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "Nominating Committee") from time to time, to each director of the Company who is not an officer of, or otherwise employed by, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (a "Non-Employee Director") and who is elected or re-elected to serve as a director on the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company occurring in such year ("Annual Meeting"). The grant date of such award shall be the first day of the next scheduled trading window following the date of the Annual Meeting at which such Non-Employee Director is elected or re-elected to service on the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>Amount of Awards.</u> The amount of RSUs granted for each Non-Employee Director's annual award shall be determined by dividing (a) the dollar amount of the annual award determined by the Nominating Committee by (b) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the grant date of the annual award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Restriction Period for RSUs. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and in Rule 6, the restriction period for RSUs awarded to Non-Employee Directors under the Plan shall (unless otherwise determined by the Nominating Committee) lapse as of the earlier of (i) the last day of the Board service year (the period between dates of Annual Meetings) for which the Non-Employee Director is elected to serve or (ii) the first anniversary of the award grant date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, RSUs awarded to a Non-Employee Director shall vest upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) retirement from service on the Board in accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, (b) death of the Non-Employee Director, (c) total disability of the Non-Employee Director (as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion), (d) resignation by the Non-Employee Director under cases of special circumstances where the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, consents to waive the remaining restriction period, or (e) a Change of Control (in the event of a Change of Control as described in Section 11(d)(iii) or Section 11(d)(iv) of the Plan, in the case of a Non-Employee Director whose service on the Board involuntarily terminates on or after the date of the stockholder approval described in either of such Sections but before the date of the consummation described in either of such Sections, the date of termination of such Non-Employee Director's service shall be deemed for purposes of the Plan to be the day following the date of the applicable consummation). RSUs shall be forfeited only when the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines. Unless the Non-Employee Director shall have otherwise elected as provided in Rule 6, the Shares related to RSUs that vest in accordance with this Rule 3 shall be delivered to the Non-Employee Director within 60 days of the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Dividends.</u> Pursuant to Section 3(e) of the Plan, the RSU accounts of Non-Employee Directors shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents with respect to all RSUs during the period from the grant date to the payment date. These Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and become payable and be paid as the RSUs to which they relate. All Dividend Equivalents payable in respect of RSUs shall be deemed reinvested in the number of RSUs determined based on the Fair Market Value on the date the corresponding dividend on the Shares is payable to stockholders.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Prorated Awards for Non-Employee Directors Elected After Annual Meeting of the Shareholders.</u> A Non-Employee Director elected to the Board in any given year after the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, shall receive a prorated annual Award of RSUs for the portion of the Board service year (the period between dates of Annual Meetings of Stockholders) during which he or she is elected to serve. The number of RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director shall be determined by dividing the dollar value of the prorated award amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the grant date (which shall be the first day of the next scheduled trading window following such Non-Employee Director's election to the Board).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Election to Receive RSUs in Lieu of Annual Cash Retainer, Committee Chair Retainer and Presiding Director Retainer</u>. A Non-Employee Director may elect to receive fully-vested RSUs in lieu of all or a portion of the annual Board cash retainer, any Committee Chair retainer and any Presiding Director retainer for a Board service year. Such election shall be made (a) prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the applicable Board service year begins or (b), solely with respect to a Non-Employee Director whose Board service starts after the first day of the calendar year in which the Board service year begins, prior to the start of such Non-Employee Director's Board service. Any such RSUs shall be granted to the Non-Employee Director on the first day of the next scheduled trading window following the date the applicable retainer would have been payable in cash. The number of RSUs shall be determined by dividing (i) the dollar amount of the applicable cash retainers elected by the Non-Employee Director, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the first day of the applicable trading window. The Shares related to RSUs credited under this Rule 6 shall be delivered to the Non-Employee Director within 60 days following the date his or her Board service terminates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Election to Defer Receipt of Annual Equity Retainer</u>. A Non-Employee Director may elect that all or a portion of the RSUs that would otherwise be payable for a Board service year in accordance with Rule 3 shall not be payable until his or her Board service terminates, provided, however, that such election is made (a) prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the applicable Board service year begins, or (b), solely with respect to a Non-Employee Director whose Board service starts after the first day of the calendar year in which the Board service year begins, prior to the start of such Non-Employee Director's Board service. Such an election shall not extend the restriction period applicable to the Award; the Award shall continue to vest as provided in Rule 3. However, the Shares related to the RSUs subject to such election shall be delivered to the Non-Employee Director within 60 days following the date his or her Board service terminates.

The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

<u>Insider Trading Policy</u>

**<u>POLICY STATEMENT</u>**

The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "The Hartford") has adopted this Insider Trading Policy ("the Policy") to govern the sale or purchase of certain securities by the Company, and its directors, officers, and employees, in compliance with applicable securities laws.

**<u>POLICY SCOPE</u>**

This Policy applies to the Company and its directors, officers, and employees, and certain beneficial owners of Company securities, including immediate family members of Company directors, officers, and employees, and certain other individuals identified in the section below entitled "Beneficial Ownership" (each, a "Covered Person").

**<u>POLICY PURPOSE</u>**

The purpose of this Policy is to promote compliance with applicable securities laws in connection with the sale or purchase of securities by the Covered Persons. For purposes of this Policy, the term "securities" includes preferred and common stock and debt securities issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Covered Persons must not misuse material, non-public information when buying or selling Company securities. **Other than as set forth in any exception herein, this Policy does not restrict ordinary purchases or sales of Company securities by a Covered Person, so long as the Covered Person is not in possession of material non-public information and the transaction is neither speculative nor short-term.** Examples of ordinary, non-speculative transactions include buying and selling shares in a brokerage account, changing long-term investment options in a 401(k) account, or selling shares acquired through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Employees who have been notified that they are "Insiders" are deemed, by virtue of their job functions, to possess material, nonpublic information at specific times of the year and will be prohibited from buying or selling Company securities at such times. (See section below entitled "Blackout Periods and Pre-Clearance of Transactions" for additional information).

**<u>POLICY</u>**

No director, officer, or employee of the Company shall disclose or use any confidential information gained through his or her position with the Company for trading purposes, personal profit or for the advantage of any other person.© 2025 by The Hartford. Classification: Company Confidential. No part of this document may be reproduced, published, or used without the permission of The Hartford.

------

Covered Persons are prohibited from buying or selling Company securities while they are aware of material, non-public information about the Company, subject to the excepted transactions below (see "Excepted Transactions" below) and the exception for Rule 10b5-1 Plans (see "Rule 10b5-1 Plans" below). Covered Persons may not pass material non-public information about the Company on to others or otherwise make unauthorized disclosure or use of such information, regardless of whether a Covered Person profits or intends to profit by the tipping, disclosure, or use.

Subject to any exceptions herein, Covered Persons are prohibited from buying or selling securities of any other company while they are aware of material, non-public information about that company, if such material information was gained because of his or her position with The Hartford. Covered Persons may not pass material non-public information about another company on to others or otherwise make unauthorized disclosure or use of such information, regardless of whether a Covered Person profits or intends to profit by the tipping, disclosure, or use, if such information was gained because of his or her position with The Hartford. Information that would not be considered material to The Hartford may be considered material to another company. For example, the fact that The Hartford is evaluating a strategic transaction with another company may be considered immaterial to The Hartford but still constitute material, non-public information about the other company.

Violation of this Policy is grounds for disciplinary action by the Company, including termination of employment, and may subject an individual to civil and criminal prosecution by federal authorities for securities law violations.

**<u>MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION</u>**

*Material Information*

Information is material if either (i) there is a reasonable likelihood that it would be considered important to an investor in making an investment decision; or (ii) the information is likely to affect the market price of the security. Material information can be positive or negative. Examples of information that may be deemed material include: earnings results or guidance (whether relating to the Company, a business line or segment); accounting actions that will materially impact earnings; strategic plans; mergers, acquisitions, or joint ventures; significant exposure due to actual or threatened litigation; significant cybersecurity incidents or breaches; developments regarding significant customers or partners; significant regulatory actions; changes in the senior executive leadership team; tender offers, public or private sales of securities; shareholder activism; stock splits or changes in dividends; and impending bankruptcy, receivership, capital or liquidity problems.

It can sometimes be difficult to know whether information is material. When in doubt, you should presume the information in question is material for purposes of this Policy.

------

*Non-Public Information*

Information is non-public unless it has been made available to the general public. Information is considered available to the general public if it is (i) in a press release issued over a national news wire service, (ii) in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (iii) posted to the Company's website, and a full trading day has elapsed since its release.

**<u>BLACKOUT PERIODS AND PRE-CLEARANCE OF TRANSACTIONS</u>**

*Quarterly Blackout Periods*

All directors, Tier 1 and Tier 2 officers and other employees designated by the Company's General Counsel (collectively, "Pre-Clearance Insiders") and all employees who participate from time to time in the preparation and review of the Company's financial and other periodic reports (together with Pre-Clearance Insiders, "Insiders"), are prohibited from trading in securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than the Excepted Transactions described below) during the period beginning on the fifteenth day of the third month of the Company's fiscal quarter and ending at market open on the second trading day after public release of the Company's financial results for the most recently completed fiscal period (a "Quarterly Blackout Period"). The list of Insiders shall be updated regularly by the Company's General Counsel.

 *Pre-Clearance of Transactions*

In addition, Pre-Clearance Insiders are required to obtain written pre-clearance from a member of the Law Department's Securities and Corporate Governance Unit ("SCG Unit") prior to any transaction in securities of the Company (other than the Excepted Transactions and Rule 10b5-1 Plan Transactions, each as described below). In addition to obtaining preclearance, officers that (i) are subject to the filing requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or (ii) report directly to the CEO may conduct transactions in Company securities or enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans only after providing written notice to the Corporate Secretary and the CEO.

Once pre-clearance is granted, the Pre-Clearance Insider has until the earlier of the end of five business days or the start of the next Quarterly Blackout Period to enter into a trade. If the trade does not occur within this period, the Pre-Clearance Insider must seek written pre-clearance again. After pre-clearance is granted, the Pre-Clearance Insider must also make an independent determination that he or she does not possess material, non-public information prior to trading. Circumstances of a confidential nature may lead to a denial of a clearance request or revocation of previously granted clearance to trade.

------

*Change to Insider Status*

If an Insider is removed from the list of Company Insiders due to a change in job duties or termination of employment during a Quarterly Blackout Period, the Insider remains subject to the prohibition on trading until the end of the Quarterly Blackout Period.

If a Pre-Clearance Insider, who is not a Section 16 Officer, is removed from the list of Company Insiders due to a change in job duties or termination of employment outside of a Quarterly Blackout Period, the Pre-Clearance Insider must continue to obtain pre-clearance for any transaction until the earlier of (a) the opening of the trading window following the next Quarterly Blackout Period, or (b) a written notice from a member of the SCG Unit that pre-clearance is no longer required.

If a Section 16 Officer is removed from the list of Company Insiders due to a change in job duties or termination of employment, the Section 16 Officer must continue to obtain pre-clearance for any transaction until the date that is 90 days from the date of the removal of the individual from the list of Company Insiders.

*Event-Specific Blackout Periods* 

In addition to the regular Quarterly Blackout Periods, the Company may, from time to time, impose other non-recurring blackout periods ("Event-Specific Blackout Periods") upon notice to employees who participate on special projects, which may involve material, non-public information regarding the Company or the other companies, or who become aware of material non-public information due to events such as significant cybersecurity incidents or breaches. Such employees are prohibited from trading in securities of The Hartford and any other company specified in any notice of an Event-Specific Blackout Period issued by the Company.

If an employee is subject to an Event-Specific Blackout Period when his or her employment terminates or such individual is no longer privy to material, non-public information due to a change in job duties or otherwise, the individual remains subject to the prohibition on trading until the earlier of (i) the end of the Event-Specific Blackout Period as determined by the Company's General Counsel and (ii) 180 days from the effective date of termination.

**<u>EXCEPTED TRANSACTIONS</u>**

The following transactions are exempt from this Policy, including the Blackout Periods and Pre-Clearance of Transactions requirements above:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Exercises of options granted under any stock option plan of the Company and any associated sale of shares to the Company in connection with the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of options.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Purchases arising from routine payroll deduction contributions to the Company's Investment and Savings Plan (401(k)) or excess savings plans. However, any interfund transfer, loan or withdrawal involving the Company Stock Fund in any of the plans would not be exempt. In addition, increasing the contribution amount to the Company Stock Fund by changing fund allocations also would not be exempt. Increasing the percentage of salary contributed to any of the plans, however, would be exempt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reinvestment of dividends under the Company's Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Payment Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Purchases arising from routine payroll deduction contributions to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as well as the automatic reinvestment of dividends under the plan. Terminating an election to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is also exempted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gifts or charitable donations of equity securities, unless the Covered Person has reason to believe the recipient intends to sell the gifted or donated securities immediately.

**<u>SPECIAL AND PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS</u>**

The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for Covered Persons to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company's securities. It is therefore the Company's policy that Covered Persons may not engage in any of the following transactions, other than as set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Day-Trading</u>. "Day-trading" involves the rapid purchasing and selling of securities in the hopes that such securities will continue to climb or fall in value for the seconds to minutes the trader owns the stock, allowing the trader to lock in quick profits resulting from short term price fluctuations. Day trading of the Company's securities may be distracting and may unduly focus the investor on the Company's short-term stock market performance instead of its long-term business objectives. For these reasons, Covered Persons are prohibited from day-trading the Company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Short Sales</u>. Short sales of the Company's securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. This creates the appearance that the seller is trading based on inside information. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller's incentive to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, Covered Persons are prohibited from engaging in short sales of the Company's securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Hedging and Other Uses of Derivatives</u>. Hedging and monetization transactions, such as through short-sales, option writing and purchase strategies, equity swaps, forward sale contracts and exchange funds, allow a person to lock in much of a stock's value, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. Similarly, purchases and sales of derivatives related to a stock typically allow a person to own a portion, but less than all, of a stock's upside potential or downside risk. In those circumstances, the individual's incentives may no longer be appropriately aligned with shareholders. These types of transaction also typically give the rise to an elevated risk of the appearance of trading based on material non-public information. Therefore, Covered Persons are prohibited from engaging in hedging, monetization, derivative and similar transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Margin Accounts and Pledges</u>. Securities held in a margin account may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material, non-public information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities, Insiders are prohibited, and all other employees are discouraged, from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Standing and Limit Orders</u>. Standing and limit orders (except standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 Plans, as described below) create heightened risks for insider trading violations like the use of margin accounts. There is no control over the timing of purchases or sales that result from standing instructions to a broker, and as a result the broker could execute a transaction when a Covered Person is in possession of material non-public information. The Company therefore discourages placing standing or limit orders on Company securities. If a person subject to this Policy determines that he or she must use a standing order or limit order, the order should be limited to a short duration. Pre-clearance approvals for standing and limit orders are valid for five business days or until the start of a Quarterly Blackout Period, if sooner, and the order may not be altered thereafter (other than to terminate) without again seeking pre-clearance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Managed Accounts</u>. Securities held in managed accounts may be traded by the account manager without the customer's knowledge or consent (on an individual trade-by-trade basis). Because such managed account transactions may occur at a time when the securities owner is aware of material, non-public information or is otherwise not permitted to trade in Company securities, Insiders are prohibited, and all other employees are discouraged, from holding Company securities in a managed account.

------

**<u>RULE 10b5-1 PLANS</u>**

Pre-Clearance Insiders may elect to implement pre-planned trading plans ("Rule 10b5-1 Plans") pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. From time to time, the General Counsel shall establish policies and procedures relating to the implementation of Rule 10b5-1 Plans by Pre-Clearance Insiders. Transactions effected pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 Plans are not subject to this Policy, so long as all aspects of the applicable Rule 10b5- 1 Plan comply with the associated policies and procedures of the Company in place at such time.

**<u>BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP</u>**

This Policy also extends to each director's, officer's and employee's spouse, minor children, and any other person or entity, if by reason of any understanding, relationship, agreement, or other arrangement between a director, officer or employee and such other person, the director, officer or employee has a direct or indirect financial interest in any Company securities owned by such other person. For example, a director, officer or employee may be considered to have a financial interest in securities held by a trust of which he or she is a beneficiary, settlor, or trustee, or owned by a partnership or company in which he or she is a partner or investor. The fact that another person is a relative and shares the home of a director, officer or employee gives rise to the presumption that a financial interest exists.

**<u>WHERE TO GO WITH QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS</u>**

If you have any questions related to this Policy, please contact any member of the Law Department's SCG Unit
