**<u>Independent Auditor's Report</u>**

Audit Committee of <br>The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC:

**Opinions**

We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of Forethought Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities, capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements (collectively referred to as the "statutory-basis financial statements").

***Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting***

In our opinion, the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Indiana described in Note 2.

***Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America***

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report, the statutory-basis financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

**Basis for Opinions**

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

***Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America***

As described in Note 2 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Indiana, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the Insurance Department of the State of Indiana. The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory-basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

**Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements**

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Indiana. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory-basis financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the statutory-basis financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory-basis financial statements are issued.

------

**Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements**

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory-basis financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

**Report on Supplemental Schedules**

Our 2025 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2025 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of selected statutory-basis financial data, the supplemental schedule of investment risk interrogatories, the supplemental summary investment schedule, and the supplemental schedule of reinsurance disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2025 statutory-basis financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 2025 statutory-basis financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements or to the statutory-basis financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2025 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole.

**1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS**

Forethought Life Insurance Company, an Indiana domiciled life insurance company, (FLIC or the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Commonwealth Annuity and Life insurance company, a Massachusetts domiciled life insurance Company (Commonwealth Annuity), which in turn is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC, a Bermuda company (Global Atlantic, which shall mean The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC and, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, its applicable subsidiaries). Global Atlantic is wholly-owned by KKR & Co. Inc (KKR).

On February 1, 2021, KKR indirectly acquired a majority interest in the Company following the merger of Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited (GAFGL) and Magnolia Merger Sub Limited, with GAFGL as the surviving entity of the merger transaction. Prior to the merger transaction, Magnolia Merger Sub Limited was a Bermuda exempted company, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Magnolia Parent LLC (now known as The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC or Global Atlantic) and an indirect subsidiary of KKR. Accordingly, Global Atlantic is now the holding company of GAFGL and KKR is deemed the ultimate controlling person of the Company.

On January 2, 2024, KKR acquired all the remaining equity interests in Global Atlantic that KKR did not already own. As of January 2, 2024, KKR owns 100.0% of Global Atlantic.

The Company's principal products are fixed-rate and fixed-indexed annuities, referred to together as "fixed annuities", and FLIC is Global Atlantic's flagship seller of these policies. FLIC's retirement products are distributed primarily through a network of industry-leading distribution partners. FLIC's preneed life insurance products are distributed through funeral homes. Commencing in 2021, the Company issues funding agreement backed notes for the purpose of reinvesting deposited funds. FLIC is licensed in 49 states (all except New York) and the District of Columbia.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of Indiana ("Indiana SAP"), which differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Prescribed statutory accounting practices (SAP) include publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners "Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual" (NAIC SAP), state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. The more significant of these differences are as follows:

• Bonds which are "available-for-sale" or "trading" are carried at fair value under GAAP, and are carried at amortized cost under NAIC SAP, except for bonds in or near default which are carried at the lower of fair value or amortized cost under NAIC SAP;

• Derivatives for which the Company employs fair value accounting are carried at fair value. However, changes in unrealized capital gains and losses are not recognized in net income, but as changes to surplus;

• The Asset Valuation Reserve (AVR) is required under NAIC SAP to offset potential credit-related investment losses on bonds, mortgage loans, stocks, real estate, and other invested assets. The AVR is recorded as a liability with changes in the reserve accounted for as direct increases or decreases in surplus. Under GAAP, no such reserve is required;

• The Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR) is required under NAIC SAP to defer recognition of realized gains and losses (net of applicable federal income taxes) on short and long term fixed income investments resulting from interest rate changes. The deferred gain and loss is amortized over the expected remaining life (maturity) of the investment sold. In the event that realized capital losses exceed gains on a cumulative basis, negative IMR is reclassified to Other Assets on the Statement of Admitted Assets and Liabilities and admitted to extent that it is within 10% of an adjusted surplus. Any admitted balance is presented as "admitted disallowed IMR" in the sections of Surplus and is excluded from Unassigned surplus for the purposes of establishing level of dividends which may be paid by the Company. Under GAAP, no such reserve is required;

• Policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, and other costs that are directly related to the successful efforts of acquiring new business are deferred under GAAP. Under NAIC SAP, such items are recorded as expenses when incurred;

• Benefit reserves are determined using statutorily prescribed interest, morbidity and mortality assumptions under NAIC SAP, except under certain principles-based reserve methodologies. With respect to variable annuities, VM-21 prescribes

(Dollars in thousands)

various approaches for setting assumptions related to policyholder and economic behavior that can vary by reserve component (Stochastic Reserve and Standard Projection Amount). With respect to life insurance products, valuation assumptions are prudent estimates used in determining Stochastic and Deterministic reserve components as prescribed by VM-20. In all cases the Company follows these prescribed practices. Under US GAAP, reserves and related balances are generally calculated using assumptions that are based on best estimates, which in some cases require appropriate adjustments that are required under certain FASB Accounting Standards. Effective January 1, 2023, public company reporting for long duration insurance contracts changed under the new long duration targeted improvements (LDTI) insurance accounting standard. LDTI requires the unlocking of assumptions for traditional life and limited pay contracts, requiring more frequent update to best estimates;

• Under NAIC SAP, amounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid losses are not recorded as assets, but as offsets against the respective policyholder liabilities. Under GAAP, amounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid losses are recorded as assets and not offset against the respective policyholder liabilities. Reinsurance balance amounts deemed to be uncollectible are written off through a charge to operations. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings;

• Deferred income taxes, which provide for book/tax temporary differences, are charged directly to unassigned surplus under NAIC SAP, whereas under GAAP, they are included as a component of net income. Deferred tax assets are also subject to an admissibility test under NAIC SAP;

• Under NAIC SAP, certain items are designated as "non-admitted" assets (such as furniture and equipment, prepaid expenses, bills receivable, computer system software, and agents' balance, etc.) and are excluded from assets by a direct charge to surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are carried on the balance sheet with appropriate valuation allowances;

• Under GAAP acquisition accounting, an intangible asset can be assigned a value representing the cost to duplicate, create or replace the asset, assigned a finite life, and amortized accordingly. NAIC SAP does not recognize this type of transaction but recognizes any amount paid in excess of the subsidiary's underlying statutory capital and surplus as unamortized goodwill on the parent company's books. Goodwill is then amortized into unrealized capital gains and losses, on a straight line basis for a period which the acquiring entity benefits economically, not to exceed 10 years;

• Under GAAP accounting, the Company's assets and liabilities were remeasured at fair value upon the close of the KKR acquisition. This resulted in the recognition of Value of Business Acquired (VOBA), which is generally amortized on a constant level basis using policy count over the estimated lives of the contracts, and goodwill, which is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred, for GAAP. There was no such remeasurement of assets and liabilities for Statutory reporting. Under NAIC SAP, consideration in excess of the net book value of business acquired is recognized as a ceding commission. Ceding commission expenses are recognized in income on the date of the transaction. Ceding commission revenues are recognized as a separate surplus item on a net of tax basis and are subsequently amortized into income as earnings from the business emerge;

• Under NAIC SAP, revenues for annuity contracts and universal life policies consist of the entire premium received, and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid, surrenders (net of surrender charges), and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, premiums received for annuity contracts and universal life that do not include significant mortality risk would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values. Charges for mortality expenses and surrenders for both types of policies would be recognized as revenue under GAAP;

• Policyowner dividends are recognized when declared under NAIC SAP rather than over the term of the related policies as required by GAAP;

• Under GAAP the Company has elected to carry the funds withheld assets at fair value while for statutory treatment the Company carries the funds withheld assets at amortized cost;

• Under NAIC SAP, cash and short-term investments in the statements of cash flows represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less;

(Dollars in thousands)

• Investments in subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control are consolidated for GAAP reporting. Under NAIC SAP, the equity value of subsidiaries is recorded as other invested assets and investments in common stocks of affiliated entities;

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between statutory and GAAP, although not readily determinable, are presumed to be material.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting principles 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 reported period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates included in the accompanying statutory basis financial statements are assumptions and judgments utilized in determining if declines in fair values of investments are other-than-temporary, valuation methods for infrequently traded securities and private placements, policy liabilities, accruals relating to legal and administrative proceedings and estimates to establish the reserves for future policy benefits.

**Investments**

***Bonds***

Commencing January 1, 2025, bonds are subject to principle-based bond definition adopted guidance, which requires that certain criteria are met in order to be reported as a bond for statutory purposes. Bonds meeting this definition are categorized as either issuer-credit obligations, or asset-backed securities.

The NAIC classifies bonds into six quality categories and 20 subcategories. These categories range from 1A (the highest) to 5C (the lowest) for non-defaulted bonds, and category 6 for bonds in and near default. Bonds in default are required to be carried at the lower of amortized cost or NAIC fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Bonds and preferred stocks, excluding loan-backed and structured securities (LBASS), are stated at amortized cost using the modified scientific method, or fair value in accordance with the "Purposes and Procedures Manual (P & P Manual) of the NAIC Capital Markets and Investment Analysis Office" (CMIAO). Fair values are measured in accordance with the Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 100 *Fair Value Measurements* (SSAP No.100). Short-term investments are highly liquid investments readily convertible to cash, with maturities of greater than 90 days and less than one year at time of purchase and are reported at amortized cost.

LBASS are stated at amortized cost or fair value in accordance with the P & P Manual of the CMIAO. Prepayment assumptions are primarily obtained from external sources or internal estimates, and are consistent with the current interest rate and economic environment. The prospective adjustment method is used on most non-agency LBASS. Fair values are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models, based on discounted cash flow analysis. The Company reviews securities at least quarterly for other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI) using current cash flow assumptions.

The NAIC has contracted with Blackrock for non-agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS), to provide expected loss information, which the Company must use to determine the appropriate NAIC designations for accounting, and risk-based capital (RBC) calculations.

***Preferred Stock***

Preferred stocks are carried at cost or amortized costs except those rated NAIC class 4 or lower quality, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Changes to preferred stock values are reported as an adjustment to surplus.

***Common Stock***

Unaffiliated common stocks are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices or determined internally utilizing available market data and financial information pertaining to the underlying company except for Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) common stock which is valued at cost. The related net unrealized gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus. The related adjustment for federal income taxes is included in deferred income taxes in unassigned surplus.

(Dollars in thousands)

***Mortgage Loans***

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of discounts/premiums and valuation allowances, and are secured. Specific valuation allowances are established for the excess carrying value of the mortgage loan over its estimated fair value, when it is probable that based on current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific valuation allowances are based on the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is determined by discounting the projected cash flows for each property to determine the current net present value.

Commercial mortgage loans (CMLs) acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. CMLs held by the Company are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States. CMLs are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will not collect amounts due according to the terms of the original loan agreement. The Company assesses the impairment of loans individually for all loans in the portfolio. The Company estimates the fair value of the underlying collateral using internal valuations generally based on discounted cash flow analyses.

***Financial Instruments and Derivatives***

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments including derivatives. Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Derivatives may be privately negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, or they may be listed and traded on an exchange (exchange-traded). Exchange-traded equity futures are transacted through a regulated exchange. From time to time, futures contracts are terminated. The clearinghouse guarantees the performance of both counterparties, which mitigates credit risk.

The Company primarily uses OTC derivatives to hedge its exposure to fixed annuity and preneed products. Some annuity products provide policy holders the potential return that is linked to the market while some preneed products provide death benefits with growth rates determined by various consumer price indexes (CPI). Fixed index annuity contracts credit interest based on certain indices, primarily the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. OTC call options and call spreads are purchased to hedge the growth in interest credited to the customer as a direct result of increases in the related indices. Upon exercise, the Company will receive the fair value of the call options and call spreads. For life products whose death benefit growth rate is determined by various consumer price indexes CPI, the Company has hedged this risk by entering into CPI swaps. The Company values the OTC options utilizing the Black-Scholes and Heston models. The Company also compares the derivative valuations to the daily counterparty marks to validate the model outputs. The parties with whom the Company enters into derivative contracts are highly rated financial institutions. Contracts are also fully supported by collateral, which minimizes the counterparty credit risk associated with such contracts. CPI swaps are accounted for using fair value accounting.

The Company also owns foreign currency denominated assets that generate exposure to FX risk. The Company has hedged this risk through the use of currency swaps and forwards. Under the terms of the contracts, the Company pays fixed and floating rate terms denominated in foreign currency and receives fixed USD. The Company considers these derivatives to be cash flow hedges. Under such treatment, the unrealized gains and losses are recorded consistent with the bonds hedged.

***Low Income Housing Credits***

The Company holds investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits with 10 years remaining of unexpired tax credits and with a required holding period of 15 years.

***Other Invested Assets***

Other invested assets consist primarily of collateral loans, which are carried at amortized costs; securities which do not qualify as bonds, which are carried at the lower of fair value or amortized cost; residual tranche investments, which are carried at the lower of fair value or amortized cost; and investments in partnerships and LLCs, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

***Cash and Short-Term Investments***

Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and highly liquid short-term investments. The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. Cash equivalent investments are stated at amortized cost. The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of greater than 90 days and less than one year as short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost.

(Dollars in thousands)

***Investment Income***

Investment income is recognized on an accrual basis. Any investment income which is over 90 days past due is excluded from surplus. Investments in bonds that are delinquent are placed on non-accrual status, and thereafter interest income is recognized only when cash payments are received.

***Capital Gains and Losses***

Realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. The AVR is established by the Company to provide for potential losses in the event of default by issuers of certain invested assets. These amounts are determined using a formula prescribed by the NAIC and are reported as a liability. The formula for the AVR provides for a corresponding adjustment for realized gains and losses. Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers, to the IMR, the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the security.

The Company acquires IMR associated with certain assumed blocks of business through reinsurance transactions. Should realized capital losses exceed gains on a cumulative basis, the resulting negative IMR is reclassified to other assets and recorded as an admitted asset up to 10% of the Company's prior period adjusted capital and surplus.

***Impairments***

The Company evaluates mortgages for impairment based on the credit quality of the borrowers ability to pay, common stocks, which are primarily affiliated companies, based on the underlying financial condition of those companies, and joint ventures, partnerships and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) when it is probable that it will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the investment or there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings that would justify the carrying value of the investment.

At least quarterly, management reviews impaired securities for OTTI. The Company considers several factors when determining if a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including but not limited to the following: its intent and ability to hold the impaired security until an anticipated recovery in value; the issuer's ability to meet current and future principal and interest obligations for bonds; the length and severity of the impairment; and, the financial condition and near term and long-term prospects for the issuer. The review process involves monitoring market events that could impact issuers' credit ratings, business climate, management changes, litigation and government actions and other similar factors. The process also involves monitoring late payments, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. Additional factors are considered when evaluating the unique features that apply to certain structured securities, including but not limited to the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority with the tranche structure of the security.

**Recognition of Premium Income and Acquisition Costs**

Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium-paying period of the related polices. Annuity considerations are recognized as income when received. Deposits on deposit-type contracts, such as funding agreements, supplemental contracts, dividend accumulations, and premium and other deposit funds, are recorded as a liability when received. Considerations for inforce block liabilities assumed are recognized as premium income when received. Expenses incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business, including acquisition costs such as sales commissions, are charged to operations as incurred.

Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

**Modified Coinsurance and Funds Withheld Reserve Adjustment**

In accordance with SSAP No. 61R, *Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance* (SSAP No. 61R), the cedant retains invested assets supporting ceded reserves for modified coinsurance or funds withheld coinsurance. The counterparties settle statutory net income on these invested assets periodically on the reinsured business. The other significant contributors to the settlement activity are premiums, benefits, transfers to and from separate accounts, change in statutory reserves, mark-to-market of the derivative portfolio and other investment returns.

(Dollars in thousands)

**Policy and Contract Claims**

The liability for policy and contract claims is based on actual claims submitted but not paid on the statement date and an estimate of claims that had been incurred but not been reported on the statement date.

**Insurance Reserves and Annuity and Other Funds**

***Reserving Practices***

Reserves for life insurance policies are based on amount of insurance, issue age, duration, and premium paying pattern. Interest rates range from 3.0% to 5.5%, depending on the date of policy issue. The majority of reserves are calculated using the 1980 CSO Mortality Table. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies have been determined by formula as described in the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions.

Reserves for a majority of the annuity contracts are determined in accordance with Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM). Valuation interest rates range from 3.0% to 6.25% based on the date of issue. The majority of reserves are calculated using the Annuity 2000 mortality table and 2012 Individual Annuity Reserving mortality table.

All policies issued by the Company had gross premiums in excess of net premiums.

Substandard policies are reserved in relation to net amount at risk.

**Federal Income Taxes**

Deferred federal income taxes are calculated as defined by SSAP No. 101, *Income Taxes* (SSAP No. 101). SSAP No. 101 establishes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between statutory and tax bases of reporting.The deferred tax assets are then subject to an admissibility test, which can limit the amount of deferred tax assets that are recorded. The deferred federal income taxes result primarily from insurance reserves, policy acquisition expenses, and ceding commissions.

**Separate Accounts**

Separate account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered and invested by the Company for the benefit of certain variable annuity contract holders. Assets consist principally of bonds, common stocks, mutual funds, short-term obligations and are stated at fair value. The investment income gains and losses of these accounts generally accrue to the contract holders and therefore, are not included in the Company's net income. Appreciation and depreciation of the Company's interest in the separate accounts, including undistributed net investment income, is reflected as other income. The fair value of assets and liabilities held in separate accounts is based on quoted market prices. Separate account assets representing contract holder funds are measured at fair value and reported as a summary total in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus, with an equivalent summary total reported for separate account liabilities.

The Company receives fees for assuming mortality and certain expense risks. Such fees are included in Other Income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Reserves in the separate accounts for variable annuity contracts are provided in accordance with the Variable Annuity Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (VA CARVM) under Actuarial Guideline VM-21. However, the adoption of VM-21 did not have an impact as these contracts are 100% ceded.

**Transfers from Separate Accounts Due or Accrued, and Accrued Expense Allowance**

The Company records a negative liability due from the separate accounts which primarily represents amounts that are held for policy account values in excess of statutory reserves, and certain other policy charges, including cost of insurance charges, administrative charges and guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) charges, partially offset by associated reinsurance credits. This negative liability due from the separate accounts also includes assumed and ceded business. Amounts held in excess of the statutory reserves cannot be transferred from the separate account unless the policy is terminated or the policy account value is withdrawn.

**Guaranty Fund Assessments**

Guaranty fund assessments are paid to various states. The assessments are amortized against the premium tax benefit period.

**Affiliated Entities and Related Parties**

The Company recognizes entities which are under common control as affiliated entities consistent with SSAP No. 25 — *Affiliates and Other Related Parties* guidance. In addition, entities in which the company or affiliated companies own at least 10% of

the voting interests are considered to be related parties even if there is no control or affiliation, and are disclosed consistent with related party disclosure guidelines in SSAP No. 25 guidance.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Standards**

In August, 2025, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 51 — Life Contracts which reflects different reversing methodologies in VM-22, Statutory Maximum Valuation Interest Rates for Income Annuities, and principle-based reserve (PBR) requirements. The Company has adopted these changes for the 2025 annual reporting period.

In March, 2025, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 1 — Accounting Policies, Risks & Uncertainties, and Other Disclosures which provided additional specifications on how modco/funds withheld assets should be captured as restricted assets and requires all restricted assets to be reported in a single table. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2025 reporting period.

In February, 2025, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 56 — Book Value Separate Accounts which clarify measurement method and transfer guidance for how transfers to/from the general account and separate account should be recognized. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2025 reporting period.

In August, 2024, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 15 — Debt and Holding Company Obligations to incorporate, with modification, the ASU 2023-06 disclosure requirements for unused commitments and lines of credit, extending the guidance to both short-term and long-term arrangements. The Company has adopted these changes for the 2025 annual reporting period.

In March, 2024, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 21R — *Other Admitted Assets* which provides guidance for debt securities that do not qualify as bonds under the Principles-Based Bond definition and measurement method guidance for all residual interests regardless of legal form, with a January 1, 2025 effective date. The Company has adopted accounting and presentation changes for the annual 2025 reporting period.

In August & March, 2024, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to expand and amend guidance on New Markets Tax Credit Project within SSAP No. 93 — *Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Property Investments* to include all tax credit investments regardless of structure and type of state or federal tax credit program. Revisions to SSAP No. 94R — *Transferable and Non-Transferable Stat Tax credits* expand and amend guidance to include both purchased state and federal tax credits. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2024 reporting period.

In February, 2024, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 21R — *Other Admitted Assets* which incorporates a collateral loan disclosure that details admitted and nonadmitted collateral loans with the underlying collateral supporting the loan. The Company has adopted this disclosure change as appropriate.

In January, 2024, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 61R — *Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance* which provides guidance for the specific 2023 liquidation of U.S. based life reinsurer Scottish Re. The Company has adopted accounting and presentation changes to balances from this reinsurer as appropriate.

In December, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 30 — *Unaffiliated Common Stock* and SSAP No. 32 — *Preferred Stock* to address residual tranche investments which may be reported as preferred stock and common stock. Also, in September, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 48 — *Joint Ventures, Partnerships, and Limited Liability Companies* to address residual tranche investments which may be reported as equity method investments. These clarifications state that structures that are in-substance residual interests will be reported residual tranche investments. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2023 reporting period.

In October, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 20 — *Nonadmitted Assets* and SSAP No. 21R — *Other Admitted Assets* to clarify guidance on collateral loan accounting and reporting. The adopted revisions clarify that all collateral assets must qualify as admitted invested assets if they were owned directly and provides additional details about documentation required for the collateral assets. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2023 reporting period, and updated policies and procedures as appropriate.

In August, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 34 — *Investment Income Due and Accrued,* which requires new disclosure around aggregate paid-in-kind (PIK) interest included in asset balances. The Company has included such disclosures in 2023 financial statements as appropriate.

In August, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 7 — *Asset Valuation and Interest Maintenance Reserve* which allows for the temporary admittance of a net negative interest maintenance reserve (IMR). Outlined in INT 23-01T, this guidance allows the admittance of negative IMR up to 10% of adjusted capital and surplus and provides additional accounting and reporting guidance. Pending any future adoptions, this interpretation will be automatically nullified on January 1, 2027. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2023 reporting period.

In August, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP 43R — *Loan-Backed and Structured Securities* which add collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) to financial modeling guidance and provide clarification that CLOs are not captured as legacy securities. This guidance aligns with changes adopted by the NAIC's Valuation of Securities Task Force in February, 2023. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2023 reporting period and there is no significant impact on the financial statements.

In August, 2023, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 26R — *Bonds,* SSAP No. 43R — *Loan-Backed and Structured Securities* and SSAP No. 21R — *Other Admitted Assets* which establishes a new principles-based definition of a bond for statutory reporting. The Company has adopted these changes for the annual 2025 reporting period. The impacts of the transition are included in the Change in Accounting Principle section below.

**Correction of Errors**

During 2025, corrections were made to 2024 balances resulting in a correction to premiums, expense allowances, reserves, and deferred gains. The changes made are being treated as a correction of an error and presented as an adjustment to unassigned surplus of $13,566. The impact of these errors has been reported as an adjustment to opening surplus per SSAP No. 3, *Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors,* paragraph 10, which states: "Correction of errors in previously issued financial statements shall be reported as adjustments to unassigned funds (surplus) in the period an error is detected." The Company does not believe these errors are significant to capital and surplus at December 31, 2025, or in prior years.

During 2024, the company discovered reporting errors for the prior year balances resulting in a $745 increase in insurance taxes, licenses, and fees. As a result, $692 of state income tax payable were written off. The company made a correction resulting in a $3,889 decrease in premiums. The impact of these errors has been reported as an adjustment to opening surplus per SSAP No. 3, *Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors,* paragraph 10, which states: "Correction of errors in previously issued financial statements shall be reported as adjustments to unassigned funds (surplus) in the period an error is detected." The Company does not believe these errors are significant to capital and surplus at December 31, 2024, or in prior years.

During 2023, the Company discovered reporting errors for the prior year balances resulting in a $20,064 increase in interest and adjustments on contract or deposit-type contract funds and an increase in the remittances and items not allocated. The impact of these errors has been reported as an adjustment to opening surplus per SSAP No. 3, *Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors,* paragraph 10, which states: "Correction of errors in previously issued financial statements shall be reported as adjustments to unassigned funds (surplus) in the period an error is detected." The Company does not believe these errors are significant to capital and surplus at December 31, 2023, or change in accounting principle in prior years.

**Change in Accounting Principle**

In 2025, the Company reviewed and evaluated their bond portfolios as part of the Principles Based Bond Definition Project. The Company reclassified certain investments that did not meet the new Principle Based Bond Definition, from bonds to other invested assets. The aggregate book adjusted carrying value after transition for all securities reclassified out of the bond category is $101,543. As a result of the reclassification, certain investments are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value as of January 1, 2025, whereas they had been carried at amortized cost as of December 31, 2024. The aggregate book adjusted carrying value of investments which were subject to this change in measurement basis is $78,347. The aggregate reduction in surplus due to reclassified investments which are now carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value is $17,987. Effective January 2025, SSAP21, Other Admitted Assets was updated to reflect new accounting

requirements for residual tranche investments. The Company has adopted that guidance, and has elected the allowable earned yield method for its residual tranche investments.

**3. PRESCRIBED AND PERMITTED ACCOUNTING PRACTICES**

The Indiana Department of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Indiana for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Indiana Insurance Law. The NAIC's Accounting Practices & Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Indiana. The commissioner of the Indiana Department (the Commissioner) has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

The Company, with the permission of the Commissioner, uses the Plan Type A discount rate with a guaranteed duration of less than five years under Actuarial Guideline 33 (AG33) on the entire in-force block of annuities with Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits issued prior to October 1, 2013. By definition, AG33 would require the defined payments of the Guaranteed Lifetime Income Benefit (GLIB) benefit stream to be discounted using the Type B or Type C rate until the policy's contract value is exhausted and the additional payments to be discounted using the Type A rate. Type A, Type B, and Type C rates vary based on the withdrawal characteristics available to the policyholder for a specific contract.

The differences between NAIC SAP and Indiana SAP relate to reserve valuation prescribed by AG33. The differences are reflected in "increase in reserves for future policy benefits" for net income, and in "reserves for future policy benefits" for surplus.

A reconciliation of the Company's net income and capital and surplus between the practices prescribed and permitted by the State of Indiana and NAIC SAP is shown below:

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, 93.1% and 93.8% of debt securities were rated by the NAIC as investment grade (1 or 2).

The book adjusted/carrying value and fair value of bonds by contractual maturity at December 31, 2025 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties or the Company may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers. Mortgage-backed securities are included in their own distinct category.

***Subprime Mortgage Related Risk Exposure***

While the Company holds no direct investments in subprime mortgage loans, the Company has limited exposure to subprime borrowers, through direct investments in primarily investment grade securities with underlying subprime exposure. The Company's definition of subprime is predominantly based on borrower statistics from a residential pool of mortgages.

Included in the statistics evaluated is the average credit score of the borrower, the loan-to-value ratio, the debt-to-income statistics, and the diversity of all these statistics across the borrower profile. As is true for all securities in the Company's portfolio, the Company reviews the entire portfolio for impairments at least quarterly. Included in that analysis are current delinquency and default statistics, as well as the current and original levels of subordination on the security.

The Company has indirect subprime exposure through the following investments:

***Impairments***

The Company evaluates all of its mortgage loans for impairment. This evaluation considers the borrower's ability to pay and the value of the underlying collateral. When a loan is impaired, its impaired value is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the impaired value may be based on a loan's observable market price (where available), or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is a collateral-dependent loan. An allowance is established for the difference between the loan's impaired value and its current carrying value. Additional allowance amounts established for incurred but not specifically identified impairments in the mortgage portfolio, based on analysis of market loss rate data, adjusted for specific characteristics of the Company's portfolio and changes in economic conditions. When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is charged off against the allowance.

During 2025, the Company established a specific allowance of $123,042 on 9 high-risk commercial mortgage loans as a result of re-underwriting process by the KKR Real Estate Credit team. During 2024, the Company established a specific allowance of $98,610 on 7 high-risk commercial mortgage loans as a result of re-underwriting process by the KKR Real Estate Credit team

The Company employs a systematic methodology to evaluate declines in fair values below amortized cost for all investments. The Company evaluates: the ability and intent to hold the investment to maturity, the issuer's overall financial condition, the issuer's credit and financial strength ratings, the issuer's financial performance including earnings trends, dividend payments, and asset quality. A weakening of the general market conditions in the industry or geographic region in which the issuer operates, the length of time in which the fair value of an issuer's securities remains below cost, and with respect to fixed maturity investments, any factors that might raise doubt about the issuer's ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms.

**5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). The fair value hierarchy under SSAP No. 100 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Basis of Fair Value Measurement

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

**Summary of Fair Value Methodologies**

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value for financial instruments:

*Bonds, preferred stock and common stock* — Fair values are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models using discounted cash flow analyses, which utilize current interest rates for similar financial instruments having comparable terms and credit. Bonds rated a 6 in accordance with the P&P Manual of the NAIC CMIAO are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

*Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments* — For these investments, the carrying amounts reported in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus approximate fair value.

**Notes to Statutory Financial Statements**

**For the Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023**

(Dollars in thousands)

*Mortgage loans* — The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

*Derivatives* — The Company values the OTC options utilizing the Black-Scholes models implemented in the SunGard derivative system with index marks updated daily. The Company's OTC equity options trade in liquid markets, resulting in calculations that do not involve significant management judgment and valuations that generally can be verified. The Company also compares the derivative valuations to the daily counterparty marks to validate the model outputs. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy maturities.

*Policy and contract liabilities* — Fair values of the Company's liabilities under contracts not involving significant mortality or morbidity risks (principally, annuities and supplementary contracts) are stated at the cost the Company would incur to extinguish the liability (i.e., the cash surrender value).

*Separate accounts* — The estimated fair value of assets held in separate accounts is based on quoted market prices. Separate account assets representing contract holder funds are measured at fair value and reported as a summary total in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus, with an equivalent summary total reported for related liabilities. Based on the level of observable activity, these assets will be measured at level 1.

***Transfers into or out of Level 3***

Overall, transfers into and/or out of Level 3 are attributable to a change in the observability of inputs. Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable. Transfers into and/or out of any level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences are deductible and prior to the expiration of capital loss, net operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized based on projected taxable income and available tax planning strategies.

As a result of tax reform ("Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, effective in 2018") the Company can no longer carry back future net operating losses (capital losses are still eligible for carry back), therefore there are no available taxes for recoupment.

At December 31, 2025, the Company has $452M of capital loss carryforwards and no operating loss foreign tax credit or any business credit carry-forwards. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no deposits admitted under IRC Section 6603.

The Company will file in a consolidated life/non-life federal income tax return with its parent, Global Atlantic Limited (Delaware), and its affiliates. The Company is a party to a written agreement, approved by the Company's Board of Directors, which sets forth the manner in which the total combined federal income tax is allocated to each entity within the consolidated group.

The IRS routinely audits the Company's federal income tax returns, and when appropriate, provisions are made in the financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit, and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reasonable estimate can be made for tax loss contingencies and none has been recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its income tax provision. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has no amounts accrued for the payment of interest and penalties, which does not include the federal tax benefit of interest deductions, where applicable. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020. The Company has no tax positions for which it believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

In June 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued FASB interpretation (FIN) No. 48, According for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN No. 48). The NAIC is still evaluating the applicability of FIN No. 48 to Statutory Financial Reporting. The Company continues to recognize tax benefits and related reserves in accordance with SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets (SSAP No. 5R). The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained in audit, and does not anticipate any adjustments that will results in a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no contingent tax liabilities have been recorded pursuant to SSAP No. 5R as modified by SSAP No. 101.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was signed into law.

As required under the authoritative guidance of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we reviewed the impact on income taxes due to the change sin legislation and concluded there was no material impact to the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was signed into law. We have evaluated the impact on income taxes due to the change in legislation and concluded there was no material impact to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**8. REINSURANCE**

The Company seeks to diversify risk and limit its overall financial exposure by reinsuring certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure through acquisition and cessions with other insurance companies or reinsurers. In addition, consistent with the overall business strategy, the Company assumes certain policy risks written by other insurance companies on a coinsurance basis and modified coinsurance basis. Under a coinsurance arrangement, depending upon the terms of the contract, the reinsurer may share in the risk of loss due to mortality or morbidity, lapses, and the investment risk, if any, inherent in the underlying policy. Modified coinsurance and funds withheld coinsurance differ from coinsurance in that the ceding company retains the assets supporting the reserves while the risk is transferred to the reinsurer.

The Company assumes certain preneed life insurance policies from one non-affiliated company. This block of assumed business is in run-off. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, FLIC assumed $16,657 and $18,052 of reserves. The Company accounts for its assumed reinsurance business on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued.

The Company assumes on a modified coinsurance (Modco) basis certain preneed life insurance policies from one non-affiliated company. This block of assumed business is in run-off. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, FLIC assumed $223,410 and $230,817 of Modco reserves. The Company accounts for its assumed reinsurance business on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued.

Effective May 13, 2024, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company whereby it ceded funding agreements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total accumulated ceded reserves were $4,541,454 and $3,875,282.

Effective December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with a non-affiliated party on a coinsurance basis. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total accumulated ceded reserves were $400,667 and $274,424.

Effective July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Global Atlantic Re Limited whereby it ceded funding agreements. The total accumulated ceded reserves were $1,947,396 as of December 31, 2025.

Reinsurance assumed for the years ended December 31, is as follows:

---

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the loss that may arise from events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by ceding certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company determines the appropriate amount of reinsurance based on evaluation of the risks accepted and analyses prepared by consultants and reinsurers and on market conditions (including the availability and pricing of reinsurance). The Company also believes that the terms of its reinsurance contracts are consistent with industry practice in that they contain standard terms with respect to lines of business covered, limit and retention, arbitration and occurrence. Based on the Company's review of its reinsurers' financial statements and reputations in the reinsurance marketplace, the Company believes that its reinsurers are financially sound and there was no allowance for uncollectible amounts as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**9. PREMIUMS AND ANNUITY CONSIDERATIONS DEFERRED AND UNCOLLECTED**

Deferred and uncollected life insurance premiums represent annual or fractional premiums, either due and uncollected or not yet due, where policy reserves have been provided on the assumption that the full life insurance premium for the current policy year has been collected. Gross premiums as represented below are net of reinsurance. Loading is the amount added to premiums to cover operating expenses. Net deferred and uncollected premiums represent only the portion of gross premiums related to mortality charges and interest.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had deferred and uncollected life insurance premiums (excluding accident and health) as follows:

The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that can be paid during a 12-month period by life insurance companies domiciled in Indiana, without prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner, is the greater of 10% of capital and surplus (excluding special unassigned funds) on the most recent preceding annual statement or the net gain from operations on the most recent preceding annual statement. Likewise, a dividend from any source of money other than earned surplus / unassigned funds must be approved before the dividend is paid. The maximum ordinary dividend the Company can pay in 2026 is $462,821.

On July 17, 2025, the Company received a $650,000 cash contribution from Commonwealth Annuity.

On September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of ($11,575) related to the tax effect of the non cash investment capital contribution from Commonwealth Annuity.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |

The Company must meet minimum capital and surplus requirements under a risk-based capital (RBC formula). RBC is the standard measurement of an insurance company's required capital on a statutory basis. It is based on a formula calculated by applying factors to various assets, premium, and statutory reserve items. The formula takes into account the risk characteristics of the insurer, including asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. Regulatory action is tied to the amount of a company's surplus deficit under the RBC formula. Total adjusted capital for life insurance companies is defined as statutory capital and surplus, plus asset valuation reserve plus subsidiary asset valuation reserves, plus 50% of dividends apportioned for payment, plus 50% of subsidiary dividends apportioned for payment, and was $5,254,908 at December 31, 2025.

Amounts due from affiliates related to funds withheld agreements were $73,433 and $112,297 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All intercompany balances related to funds withheld agreements are settled in the subsequent quarter.

**13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Litigation**

The Company is involved from time to time in judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business.

Given the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of the Company's litigation and regulatory matters, particularly in cases or proceedings in which substantial or indeterminate damages or fines are sought, the Company cannot estimate losses, or ranges of losses, for cases or proceedings where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred.

In connection with a cybersecurity incident on May 29, 2023, related to services provided to several companies by Pension Benefits Information LLC, and its use of MOVEit software ("PBI/MOVEit Incident"), The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC or some of its affiliates have received a total of five putative class action complaints alleging failure to properly secure and safeguard customers' sensitive information. Four cases originated in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Clancy, Michael v. The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC (1:23-cv-07975) filed September 8, 2023, Guzman, Marcelina v. The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC (1:23-cv-08150) filed September 14, 2023, and Hendrix, Eudoice v. Global Atlantic Financial Company, Accordia Life and Annuity Company, Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company, First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company and Forethought Life Insurance Company (1:23-cv-08058) filed September 12, 2023, and Bernstein, Michael v. The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC (1:23-cv-9868) filed in New York state court September 15, 2023. A fifth case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, but subsequently was voluntarily dismissed: Hansa v. Forethought Life Insurance Company, Global Atlantic Insurance Network LLC, and The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC (1:23-cv-01549) filed August 28, 2023. The Company itself is currently a party only in the Hendrix case. A judicial panel consolidated certain PBI/MOVEit Incident-related litigation in an MDL and transferred the cases to the District of Massachusetts, before Judge Allison Burroughs. This order applies to all matters against The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC and its affiliates.

However, the Company believes that at the present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

**Assessments**

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies. Mandatory assessments, which are subject to statutory limits, can be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes in some states. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the potential impact of any such future assessments or voluntary payments.

**16. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS**

The Company utilizes separate accounts to record and account for assets and liabilities for variable annuity transactions. In accordance with the products/transactions recorded within the separate account, assets are considered legally insulated. The legal insulation of the separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $1,833,202 and $2,002,153 respectively.

The assets legally insulated from the general account as of December 31, 2025 are attributed to the following products/transactions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Product/Transaction | Legally Insulated Assets | Separate Account Assets<br>(Not Legally Insulated) |
| ForeRetirement Variable Annuity | $1828457 | $— |
| Huntington ForeRetirement Variable Annuity | 4745 |  |
| Forethought Variable Interest Trust |  | 2335415 |
| Total | $1833202 | $2335415 |

---

Separate account assets held by the Company relate to individual variable annuities of a non-guaranteed nature. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. Some variable annuities provide an incidental death benefit equal to the greater of the highest contract value on a certain date or premium paid and/or a lifetime withdrawal benefit as a portion of highest contract value on a certain date.

The maximum amount associated with death benefit guarantees for 2025 was $290,390 with associated risk charges paid by the separate account to compensate for these risks of $12,069. The maximum amount associated with withdrawal benefit guarantees for 2025 was $853,029 with associated risk charges paid by the separate account of $38,627.

The maximum amount associated with death benefit guarantees for 2024 was $367,044 with associated risk charges paid by the separate account to compensate for these risks of $13,024. The maximum amount associated with withdrawal benefit guarantees for 2024 was $897,243 with associated risk charges paid by the separate account of $43,090.
