Credit Facility in Note 12—Debt

Credit Facility: Globe Life has in place a credit facility which provides for a $1 billion revolving credit facility that may be increased to $1.25 billion. The credit facility matures March 29, 2029 and may be extended up totwo one-year periods upon the Company's request. Pursuant to this agreement, the participating lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to Globe Life and to issue secured or unsecured letters of credit. The Company has not drawn on any of the credit to date.

The facility is further designated as a back-up credit line for a commercial paper program under which the Company may either borrow from the credit line or issue commercial paper at any time, with total commercial paper outstanding not to exceed the facility maximum of $1 billion, less any letters of credit issued. Interest is charged at variable rates. In accordance with the agreement, Globe Life is subject to certain covenants regarding capitalization.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants.

Pre-capitalized Trust Securities: On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a 30-year Facility Agreement with a Delaware trust (the "Trust") following the completion of a private placement of Trust securities for $500 million of Pre-Capitalized Trust Securities ("P-CAPS"), conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Trust invested the proceeds from this offering in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury principal and interest strips ("Treasury securities"). P-CAPS provide the Company with a source of liquidity, the proceeds of which, if drawn, would be used for general corporate purposes.

Under the Facility Agreement, the Company has the right, on one or more occasions, to issue and sell up to $500 million of its 6.580% Senior Notes to the Trust in exchange for a corresponding amount of Treasury securities held by the Trust. In consideration for this right, the Company pays the Trust a semi-annual facility fee at a rate of 1.789% per annum on the unexercised portion of the facility. These fees are recorded in Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also reimburses the Trust for its administrative expenses. The Issuance Right will be exercised automatically in full upon (i) our failure to pay the facility fee or to purchase any Strips required to be purchased under the Facility, if the failure to pay is not cured within 30 days, or (ii) certain bankruptcy events involving the Company. We are also required to exercise the Issuance Right in full if our consolidated stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI) falls below $1.85 billion, subject to certain adjustments. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no senior note issuances under the Facility Agreement.

Acquisition of Common Shares: Globe Life shares are acquired through open market purchases under the Globe Life stock repurchase program when it is determined to be the best use of Globe Life's excess cash flows. This yields a return that is better than available alternatives and exceeds our cost of equity. When stock options are exercised, proceeds from the exercises are generally used to repurchase approximately the number of shares available with those funds in order to reduce dilution.
