• This section also refers to certain other terms used to describe our insurance business and financial and operating metrics but is not intended to be exhaustive.
• Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $70.00 per share, net in cash, without interest and less any amounts that are required to be deducted or withheld under applicable law.
• Accordingly, the Company and Aquarian Parent currently are in discussions regarding amending the Merger Agreement to extend the Outside Date and remain committed to the Merger, although there can be no assurance that the Company and Aquarian Parent will ultimately agree on an extension or that the Merger will be completed by any such new outside date (or at all).
• See “Risks Related to the Merger — The completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, many of which are largely outside the parties’ control, and, if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger may not be completed within the expected timeframe or at all” included in our 2025 Annual Report, updated as described above to reflect the anticipated timing of the closing of the Merger.

• Any future change to the target range for the federal funds rate may negatively impact our business in certain respects, including our investment portfolio, by lowering the level of long-term interest rates and changing the shape of the yield curve.
• Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, adjusted earnings is also our GAAP measure of segment performance.
• These ALM strategies include maintaining an investment portfolio that targets a weighted average duration that reflects the duration of our estimated liability cash flow profile.
• At this time, we do not expect that our general account investments in these sectors and asset classes will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
• Our sub-prime RMBS portfolio consists predominantly of securities that were purchased after 2012 at significant discounts to par value and discounts to the expected principal recovery value of these securities.
• We estimate that the underlying investment of the private equity funds will typically be liquidated over the next 10 to 20 years.
• BHF’s Board of Directors and senior management are directly involved in the governance of the capital management process, including proposed changes to the annual capital plan and capital targets.
