As of June 30, 2026:

•$245.4 billion or 76% of our policy and contract liabilities were backed by separate account assets. These separate account assets backed reserves primarily related to our variable annuities. Separate account liabilities are fully funded by cash flows from the customer’s corresponding separate account assets and are set equal to the fair value of such invested assets.

•$65.7 billion of our policy and contract liabilities were backed by our investment portfolio.

•$11.9 billion of our policy and contract liabilities were reinsured by Athene and backed by funds withheld assets.

As of June 30, 2026, 91% of fixed annuity, fixed-index annuity, and the fixed accounts of RILA and variable annuity correspond to crediting rates that are at the guaranteed minimum crediting rate. We have the discretion, subject to contractual limitations and minimums, to reset the crediting terms on the majority of our fixed-index annuities and fixed annuities.
