Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
Nassau Life Insurance Company:

Opinions

We have audited the financial statements of Nassau Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the statements of admitted assets, liabilities, capital and surplus as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of income (loss) and changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services described in Note 2.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period then ended.

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 Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to be presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory accounting practices described in Note 2 and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

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

In preparing the 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 financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 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 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 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 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.

Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information included in the summary of investments - other than investments in related parties, the supplementary insurance information, and the supplementary schedule - reinsurance is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Nassau Life Insurance Company
(a wholly owned subsidiary of The Nassau Companies of New York)
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
(in thousands except where noted in millions or billions)

1. Description of Business

Nassau Life Insurance Company ("NNY" or the "Company"), domiciled in the State of New York, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nassau Companies of New York ("NCNY" or the "Parent") and an indirect subsidiary of Nassau Financial Group, L.P. ("Nassau"). Nassau is a financial services company providing life insurance and annuities, reinsurance and asset management.

On July 1, 2023, NNY completed its acquisition of Delaware Life Insurance Company of New York ("DLNY") from Delaware Life Insurance Company, after receipt of insurance regulatory approval by the New York Department of Financial Services (the "NYDFS" or the "Department"). Effective July 5, 2023, DLNY merged with and into NNY pursuant to a merger agreement with NNY as the surviving entity. In accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") No. 68, Business Combinations and Goodwill, the acquisition was treated as a statutory merger. Under the statutory merger method of accounting, the former statutory bases of accounting for DLNY were retained, and the accounts of NNY were restated to include the accounts of DLNY. DLNY was a provider of life insurance and annuity products with approximately 16,000 policyholders and $1.6 billion in assets. This acquisition provides scale benefits to the Company and supports continued focus on building the Nassau franchise.

NNY is a provider of life insurance and annuity products. The Company's life insurance products include whole life, universal life, variable universal life, variable life and other insurance products. NNY offers single-life and multiple-life products. Most of the Company's whole life policies were written prior to its demutualization in 2001 and are part of a closed block (the "Closed Block") of existing in-force traditional participating life insurance business established at the time of the demutualization to protect the future dividends of these policyholders. The Company also offers annuity products including both deferred and immediate varieties. Deferred annuities accumulate for a number of years before periodic payments begin and enable the contract owner to save for retirement and provide options that protect against outliving assets during retirement. Immediate annuities are purchased by means of a single lump sum payment and begin paying periodic income within the first year.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The significant accounting policies, which are used by NNY in the preparation of the statutory financial statements, are described below.

These financial statements were prepared on the basis of accounting practices ("STAT") prescribed or permitted by the NYDFS. These practices are predominately promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the "NAIC").

These practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The major differences from U.S. GAAP practices are as follows:

•The costs related to acquiring business, principally commissions and certain policy issue expenses, are charged to income in the year incurred for STAT and are capitalized as deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") and then amortized for U.S. GAAP.
•Statutory concepts such as non-admitted assets, asset valuation reserve and interest maintenance reserve are recognized only for STAT.
•Bonds are primarily carried at amortized cost for STAT and at fair value for U.S. GAAP.
•For certain deposit-type contracts in the accumulation stage and for annuity products, deposits are reported as annuity considerations (a revenue item) for statutory reporting, while U.S. GAAP reports these as deposits via the balance sheet.

7

Nassau Life Insurance Company
(a wholly owned subsidiary of The Nassau Companies of New York)
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
(continued)
(in thousands except where noted in millions or billions)
•For STAT, wholly owned subsidiaries are not consolidated, but subsidiary earnings and losses and other changes in capital and surplus are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Dividends received from subsidiaries are treated as investment income. For U.S. GAAP, results of wholly owned subsidiaries are consolidated.
•Under STAT, for universal life, variable life, interest sensitive life, variable universal life policies and variable annuity contracts, premiums or deposits are recognized as revenue and withdrawals are recognized as surrender benefits. Benefits, losses and related expenses are matched with premiums over the related contract periods. For U.S. GAAP, amounts received as payments for universal life, variable life, variable universal life and other investment-type contracts are considered deposits and are not included in premiums. Withdrawals taken from these contracts are generally considered returns of policyholder account balances and are not included in surrender benefits for U.S. GAAP.
•Statutory reserves are based on different assumptions than they are under U.S. GAAP.
•For STAT, the cost of employee pension benefits, including prior service costs, is recognized as the employer contributions are made to fund the costs.
•Assets and liabilities are reported net of reinsurance balances for STAT and gross for U.S. GAAP.
•Surplus notes issued by the Company are recorded as a component of surplus for STAT and as debt for U.S. GAAP.
•The statutory provision for federal income taxes represents estimated amounts currently payable based on taxable income or loss reported in the current accounting period as well as changes in estimates related to prior year taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, a Replacement of SSAP No. 10, and changes in deferred income taxes are recorded through surplus. SSAP No. 101 adopts the U.S. GAAP valuation allowance standard and also limits the recognition of deferred tax assets ("DTAs") based on certain admissibility criteria. The U.S. GAAP provision would include a provision for taxes currently payable as well as deferred taxes, both of which would be recorded in the income statement. Under SSAP No. 101, in conjunction with SSAP No. 5 as modified to replace the "probable" standard with a "more likely than not" standard, companies must establish a liability related to uncertain tax positions where management determines that it is more likely than not a claimed tax benefit would not be sustained if audited. SSAP No. 101 specifically rejects the corresponding U.S. GAAP guidance. For U.S. GAAP, the Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax expense or benefit is recognized based upon amounts reported in the financial statements and the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent that management concludes that it is more likely than not that an asset will not be realized. For both STAT and U.S. GAAP, the Company assesses all significant tax positions to determine if a liability for an uncertain tax position is necessary and, if so, the impact on the current or deferred income tax balances.
•Merged entities' financial statements are restated as if the merger occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. For U.S. GAAP, financial statements are typically not restated, but post-acquisition activity and balance sheet amounts are reflected from the acquisition date.
•Acquired entities are carried at statutory book value with the difference between purchase price and book value recorded directly against statutory surplus. For U.S. GAAP, acquired entities are carried at fair value as of the acquisition date with any difference between purchase price and fair value recorded to goodwill.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In applying these estimates and assumptions, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions about matters that are uncertain and inherently subject to change, such as possibility for elevated mortality rates and market volatility. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions used in determining insurance and contractholder liabilities, income taxes, contingencies and valuation allowances for invested assets are discussed throughout the Notes to Statutory Financial Statements. To be consistent with the current year presentation, certain prior year reclassifications have been made.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In 2023, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 26, Bonds, and SSAP No. 43, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities, to incorporate the principles-based bond definition for use in determining whether an investment (i.e., security) qualifies for reporting as a bond into statutory accounting guidance and to address the accounting treatment for securities that do qualify as bonds. SSAP No. 2, Cash, Cash Equivalents, Drafts and Short-Term Investments, was also revised to exclude asset-backed securities from being reported as a cash equivalent or short-term investment. In 2024, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 21, Other Admitted Assets, to provide guidance for debt securities that do not qualify as bonds under the principles-based definition. The 2024 adopted revisions prescribe accounting guidance (measurement method) for all residual interests regardless of legal form. In 2024, the NAIC also adopted Statutory Issue Paper No. 169, Principles-Based Bond Definition, to provide additional guidance. These revisions all have an effective date of January 1, 2025, and the Company is assessing the impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In 2024, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 93, Investments in Tax Credit Structures, to expand guidance for inclusion of all tax credit investments regardless of structure. SSAP No. 94, State and Federal Tax Credits, was also revised to expand and amend guidance to include both purchased and federal tax credits. These revisions have an effective date of January 1, 2025, and the Company is assessing the impact on its financial position and results of operations.

The Company did not adopt any accounting standards during 2024 that had a material impact on these financial statements.

Going concern

Management has evaluated the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that there is not substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and regulatory capital requirements

NCNY serves as the holding company for NNY and does not have any significant operations of its own. In addition to existing cash and securities, the holding company's primary source of liquidity consists of dividends from NNY. Dividends to the Parent from NNY are limited under the insurance company laws of New York.

NNY is required to report risk-based capital ("RBC") under the insurance company laws of New York. RBC is based on a formula calculated by applying factors to various assets, premium and statutory reserve items taking into account the risk characteristics of the insurer, including asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. The insurance laws give the states explicit regulatory authority to require various actions by, or take various actions against, insurers whose total adjusted capital ("TAC") does not exceed certain RBC levels. NNY has RBC ratios in excess of the minimum levels required by the applicable insurance regulations.

In connection with the July 2023 acquisition of DLNY, Nassau committed to the NYDFS to maintain NNY's Company Action Level RBC at or above 300% and its surplus to policyholder reserves ratio (excluding separate accounts) at or above 3.5% through June 2028, during which time NNY can pay ordinary dividends without prior approval when those ratios are maintained. Further, this commitment may be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2024, RBC and the surplus to policyholder reserves ratio were in excess of these levels.

In addition to the statutory limitations on paying dividends, the Company also considers the level of statutory capital and RBC of the entity and other liquidity requirements. NNY may have less flexibility to pay dividends to the parent company if the Company experiences declines in either statutory capital or RBC in the future.

Investments

Investments are recognized in accordance with methods prescribed by the NAIC.

Investments in bonds include public and private placement bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Bonds with an NAIC designation of 1-5 are carried at amortized cost using the interest method while those with an NAIC designation of 6 are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Mortgage-backed and structured securities are assigned an NAIC designation in accordance with SSAP No. 43, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities. Amortized cost for mortgage-backed and structured securities is determined using the interest method, utilizing anticipated cash flows based upon prepayment assumptions. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. Amortization is adjusted for significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions.

Redeemable preferred stock that has a NAIC designation of 1-3 is stated at amortized cost and those with a designation of 4-6 are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Mandatory convertible preferred, redeemable or perpetual and perpetual preferred stocks are carried at the lower of fair value or the current effective call price.

With the exception of the Company's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") common stock, unaffiliated common stock is carried at fair value. The Company's investment in FHLB common stock is carried at cost, which represents the price at which the FHLB will repurchase the stock.

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at the outstanding principal balance, less any allowances for credit losses.

Contract loans are generally reported at their unpaid balances and are collateralized by the cash values of the related policies.

Short-term investments and cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost. NNY considers highly liquid investments purchased between ninety days and one year of maturity to be short-term investments and highly liquid investments purchased with ninety days or less of maturity to be cash equivalents.

Other invested assets primarily include limited partnerships, limited liability companies and residual tranches of securitizations. Interests in limited partnerships and limited liability companies are carried at cost adjusted for NNY's equity in undistributed earnings or losses since acquisition, less allowances for other-than-temporary declines in value, based upon audited financial statements in accordance with SSAP No. 48, Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies. Residual tranches of securitizations are reported at the lower of cost or market. Recognition of net investment income occurs when cash distributions of income are received.

Investments in affiliates represent direct and indirect ownership in the common stock of subsidiaries that are included in common stock. The Company has investments in two subsidiaries, Nassau ABS A-I LLC ("ABS A") and Nassau ABS B-I LLC ("ABS B"), investment SPVs, that were formed in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Company admits the underlying GAAP equity in accordance with SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated ("SCA") Entities.

Home office real estate is generally valued at depreciated cost. Depreciation of real estate is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets (generally 40 years).

Realized capital gains and losses on investments are determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Those realized capital gains and losses resulting from interest rate changes are deferred and amortized to income over the stated maturity of the disposed investment utilizing the Interest Maintenance Reserve ("IMR") Grouped Method. Unrealized capital gains and losses, resulting from changes in the difference between cost and the carrying value of investments, are reflected in the Statements of Income (Loss) and Changes in Capital and Surplus.

The Company's accounting policy requires that a decline in the value of a bond or equity security below its cost or amortized cost basis be assessed to determine if the decline is other-than-temporary. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charge is recognized if the Company does not expect the fair value of a security to recover to its cost or amortized cost basis prior to the expected date of sale.

Securities that are in an unrealized loss position are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if an OTTI is present based on certain quantitative and qualitative factors. The primary factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value for securities not subject to SSAP No. 43 is other-than-temporary include: (a) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost or amortized cost, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (c) whether the debtor is current on contractually obligated payments.

For securities that are not subject to SSAP No. 43, if the decline in value of a bond or equity security is other-than-temporary, a charge is recorded in net realized capital losses equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. Impairment losses are recorded through the IMR.

For certain securitized financial assets with contractual cash flows (including asset-backed securities), SSAP No. 43 requires the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security. If management determines that its best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at the security's effective yield prior to the impairment are less than its amortized cost, then an OTTI charge is recognized equal to the difference between the amortized cost and the Company's best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at the security's effective yield prior to the impairment. The Company's best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at the security's effective yield prior to the impairment becomes its new cost basis. Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third party sources along with certain internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the underlying collateral. As a result, actual results may differ from estimates. In addition, if the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold a security subject to the provisions of SSAP No. 43 until the recovery of value, the security is written down to fair value.

Loans are occasionally restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. These restructurings generally include one or more of the following: full or partial payoffs outside of the original contract terms; changes to interest rates; extensions of maturity; or additions or modifications to covenants. When restructurings occur, they are evaluated individually to determine whether the restructuring or modification constitutes a "troubled debt restructuring" as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. In a troubled debt restructuring where the Company receives assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt, any specific valuation allowance is reversed and a direct write down of the loan is recorded for the amount of the allowance and any additional loss, net of recoveries, or any gain is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the assets received and the recorded investment in the loan. Any remaining loan is evaluated prospectively for impairment. When a loan is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring, the impairment of the loan is remeasured using the modified terms and the loan's original effective yield and the allowance for loss is adjusted accordingly. Subsequent to the modification, income is recognized prospectively based on the modified terms of the loans.

Derivatives

Cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and losses are presented in the statement of cash flows as either proceeds of other investments or sales of other investments.

Equity Index Options

An equity index option gives the option holder the right to buy or sell the equity index at a predetermined price (strike price) at a specified time (maturity) agreed upon at the inception of the contract. An equity index put option affords the holder the right to sell the equity index at a strike price at the maturity date while an equity index call option affords the holder the right to buy the equity index at the strike price.

The Company uses equity index put options. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty's failure to meet its obligations. Given the Company enters into derivative contracts with highly rated counterparties and diversifies this exposure across a number of counterparties, the Company is exposed to minimum credit risk.

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
(continued)
(in thousands except where noted in millions or billions)
The Company uses equity index options to hedge against market risks from changes in equity index price associated with certain annuity products. The statutory accounting treatment for these hedges is that they are valued at fair or market value, and changes in the value of these hedges are reflected directly through surplus.

The unrealized gain (loss) during the period representing equity index options was $(1.5) million, $(2.6) million and $0 as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows in the future. Typically, one of the cash flow streams is based on a fixed interest rate set at the inception of the contract, and the other is a floating rate indexed to a reference rate that resets periodically. At the outset of the contract, generally, there is neither an exchange of cash nor a payment of principal by the parties; hence the term "notional principal." At each settlement date, the fixed and floating interest rates times the notional principal determine the cash flows to be exchanged, and the resulting net payment amount between these interest cash flows is made from one party to the other.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge against market risks in assets or liabilities from substantial changes in interest rates. In an interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party (referred to as the counterparty) to exchange cash flows at specified intervals for a set length of time, based on the specified notional principal amount.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure to certain floating rate available-for-sale debt securities where the terms or expected cash flows of the hedged item closely match the terms or expected cash flows of the swap.

Foreign Currency Forwards

The Company uses foreign currency forwards to hedge against market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency forward contracts are used to hedge collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") asset exposure denominated in a foreign (EUR) currency back to U.S. dollars. Under foreign currency forwards, the Company agrees with another counterparty to lock in the exchange rate for the purchase or sale of a currency on a future date.

The unrealized gain(loss) for non-qualified hedges representing foreign currency forwards was $0.3 million, $(0.1) million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company had derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions and no derivative contracts with financing premiums.

Net investment income

Net investment income primarily represents interest and dividends received or accrued on bonds, common and preferred stock, short-term investments, mortgage loans and real estate. It also includes amortization of any purchase premium or discount using the interest method, adjusted retrospectively for any change in estimated yield-to-maturity. For partnership investments, income is earned when cash distributions of income are received. Investment income due and accrued that is deemed uncollectible is charged against net investment income in the period such determination is made, while investment income greater than 90 days past due is non-admitted and charged directly to surplus. There was $169.2 million and $173.7 million gross due and accrued investment income at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was $1.1 million and $1.0 million due and accrued investment income non-admitted at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was $168.1 million and $172.7 million net due and accrued investment income at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Non-admitted assets

In accordance with regulatory requirements, certain assets, including certain receivables, certain investments in limited liability companies, certain deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses and furniture and equipment, are not allowable and must be charged against surplus and are reported in the Statements of Income (Loss) and Changes in Capital and Surplus. Total non-admitted assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $128.8 million and $110.1 million, respectively. Changes for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 increased (decreased) surplus by $(18.7) million, $(27.7) million and $(22.6) million, respectively.

Separate accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities are funds maintained in accounts to meet specific investment objectives of contractholders who bear the investment risk. Investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to such contractholders. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of NNY. The assets are carried at fair value and the liabilities are set equal to the assets. Net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for these accounts are excluded from revenues, and the related liability increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. Amounts assessed to the contractholders for management services are included in revenues.

Appreciation or depreciation of NNY's interest in the separate accounts, including undistributed net investment income, is reflected in net investment income. Contractholders' interests in net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on separate account assets are not reflected in net income.

NNY's separate account products include variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts. Many of NNY's contracts offer various guaranteed minimum death, accumulation, withdrawal and income benefits. The Company currently reinsures a significant portion of the death benefit guarantees associated with its in-force block of business. Reserves for the guaranteed minimum death, accumulation, withdrawal and income benefits are determined in accordance with NYDFS Insurance Regulation 213 ("Reg 213").

Insurance liabilities

Benefit and loss reserves, included in reserves for future policy benefits, are established in amounts adequate to meet estimated future obligations on policies in force. Benefits to policyholders are charged to operations as incurred.

Reserves for future policy benefits are determined using assumed rates of interest, mortality and morbidity consistent with statutory requirements. Most life insurance reserves for which the 1958 CSO and 1980 CSO mortality tables are used as the mortality basis are determined using a modified preliminary term reserve method. The net level premium method is used in determining life insurance reserves based on earlier mortality tables. For certain products issued on or after January 1, 2000, NNY adopted the 20 year select factors in the NAIC Valuation of Life Insurance Policies Model Regulation for both the basic and the deficiency reserve, and NNY's X factors for the deficiency reserve. Annuity reserves principally use Actuarial Guideline ("AG") 33 and Reg 213 to calculate reserve balances. AG33 uses prescribed methods and assumptions to determine the minimum statutory reserves. Reg 213, which was effective beginning in 2020, requires that reserves for contracts are based on the greater of the Standard Scenario Amount ("SSA") and the Valuation Manual Section 21 ("VM-21") reserve, which uses stochastic projections under company and prescribed assumptions to determine the final reserve. The Company holds reserves greater than those developed under the minimum statutory reserving rules when it is determined that the minimum statutory reserves are inadequate. Actual results could differ from these estimates and may result in the establishment of additional reserves. The Company monitors actual experience and, where circumstances warrant, revises assumptions and the related estimates for policy reserves.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company calculated its reserves for variable annuity products under Reg 213.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were $82.0 million and $82.0 million, respectively, of cash flow testing reserves resulting from asset adequacy testing.

Claim and loss liabilities, included in reserves for future policy benefits, are established in amounts estimated to cover incurred losses. These liabilities are based on individual case estimates for reported losses and estimates of unreported losses based on past experience.

Fees associated with separate accounts and other miscellaneous income

Fees consist primarily of contract charges assessed against the fund values and are recognized, when earned.

Premium income and related expenses

Generally, premium income and annuity considerations for fixed payment policies are recognized as income when due and premium income and annuity considerations for variable payment policies or contracts is recognized as income when paid. Related underwriting expenses, commissions and other costs of acquiring the policies and contracts are charged to operations as incurred. For certain deposit-type variable contracts in the accumulation stage, NNY reports deposits as revenues and withdrawals as benefits. This method of reporting applies to deposits and withdrawals for both general account activity and transfers to (from) separate accounts.

Stockholder dividends

New York Insurance Law allows a domestic stock life insurer to distribute an ordinary dividend where the aggregate amount of such dividend in any calendar year does not exceed the greater of 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains, not to exceed 30% of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year. The foregoing ordinary dividend can only be paid out of earned surplus, which is defined as an insurer's positive unassigned funds, excluding 85% of the change in net unrealized gains or losses less capital gains tax for the preceding year. Under this section, an insurer cannot distribute an ordinary dividend in the calendar year immediately following a calendar year for which the insurer's net gain from operations, not including realized capital gains, was negative. If a company does not have sufficient positive earned surplus to pay an ordinary dividend, an ordinary dividend can still be paid where the aggregate amount is the lesser of 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Based on this calculation, NNY has no capacity to pay dividends in 2025.

During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid cash dividends of $0, $0 and $274.0 million, respectively, to its Parent.

Reinsurance

NNY utilizes reinsurance agreements to provide for greater diversification of business, allow management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks and provide additional capacity for growth. Reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Company as primary obligor for policyholder liabilities.

Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance ceded contracts are reported on a net basis.

Policyholder dividends

Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings of NNY. The amount of policyholder dividends to be paid is determined annually by NNY's Board of Directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is related to the actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year and NNY's judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained (see Note 3 - "Significant Transactions, Closed Block").

Income taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of The Nassau Companies, Inc. ("NC") and its subsidiaries. The method of allocation among affiliates of the Company is subject to written agreement approved by the Board of Directors and based upon separate return calculations with current credit for net losses to the extent the losses provide a benefit in the consolidated tax return.

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their recorded amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are admitted in accordance with the admissibility test prescribed by SSAP No. 101. The change in deferred tax is recorded as a component of surplus.

Employee benefit plans

NCNY sponsors a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan"). Retirement benefits are a function of both years of service and level of compensation. NCNY also sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan ("Supplemental Plan") to provide benefits in excess of amounts allowed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. NCNY's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount equal to at least the minimum required contribution in accordance with minimum funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). NCNY also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for active employees.

The Company participates in the Pension Plan and Supplemental Plan. For purposes of statutory accounting, the Company has no legal obligation for benefits under these plans. The Company's share of net expenses for these plans was $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $4.3 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Nassau employees are covered by a qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by NCNY. NCNY's match percentage is dollar for dollar to a maximum of 5% of eligible 401(k) earnings. The Company's contribution for the plan was $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.9 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Applicable information regarding the actuarial present value of vested and non-vested accumulated plan benefits and the net assets of the plans available for benefits is omitted, as the information is not separately calculated for NNY's participation in the plans. NCNY, the plan sponsor, establishes an accrued liability and charges any applicable employee benefit expenses to NNY through a cost allocation process. Effective March 31, 2010, all benefit accruals under the funded and unfunded defined benefit plans were frozen.

Surplus

The portion of unassigned surplus increased (reduced) by cumulative unrealized gains (losses) was $(59.8) million, $61.0 million and $(44.4) million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Pursuant to SSAP No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations, the Company reclassified its negative unassigned surplus balance of $896.9 million to gross paid-in and contributed surplus as of June 30, 2016, which had the effect of setting the Company's statutory unassigned surplus to zero as of this date. This change in accounting was approved by the NYDFS. This change had no immediate impact on dividend capacity and no impact to risk-based capital.

Non-cash items

The Statements of Cash Flows exclude non-cash items, such as the following:

•Non-cash investment transactions, such as tax-free exchanges;
•Accretion of amortization or accrual of discount for investments;
•Depreciation expense;
•Modified coinsurance ("MODCO") reinsurance adjustments, including inception ceded/assumed premium amounts; and
•Accruals of capital contributions approved by the domiciliary commissioner.

The Statements of Cash Flows exclude the following significant non-cash items for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

•$39.7 million, $0 and $24.2 million of non-cash investment exchanges as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
•In conjunction with the October 1, 2024, recapture of a reinsurance treaty with Nomura Americas US Re LTD ("Nomura") and simultaneous replacement with a reinsurance treaty with Munchener Ruck ("Munich Re"), the Company excluded $1.1 billion of premiums offset by $0.9 billion of claims and benefits and $0.1 billion for change in funds held.


3. Significant Transactions

Closed block

On the date of demutualization, NNY established the closed block for the benefit of holders of certain individual participating life insurance policies and annuities of NNY for which NNY had a dividend scale payable at the time of demutualization. Assets were allocated to the closed block in an amount that will produce cash flows which, together with anticipated revenues from the policies included in the closed block, are reasonably expected to be sufficient to support obligations and liabilities relating to these policies. This includes, but is not limited to, provisions for the payment of claims and certain expenses and taxes, and to provide for the continuation of policyholder dividend scales in effect at the time of demutualization, if the experience underlying such dividend scales continues, and for appropriate adjustments in such scales if such experience changes. The closed block assets, the cash flows generated by the closed block assets and the anticipated revenues from the policies in the closed block will benefit only the holders of the policies in the closed block. To the extent that, over time, cash flows from the assets allocated to the closed block and claims and other experience related to the closed block are, in the aggregate, more or less favorable than what was assumed when the closed block was established, total dividends paid to closed block policyholders in the future may be greater than or less than the total dividends that would have been paid to these policyholders if the policyholder dividend scales in effect at the time of demutualization had been continued. Any cash flows in excess of amounts assumed will be available for distribution over time to closed block policyholders and will not be available to stockholders. If the closed block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from assets outside of the closed block. The closed block will continue in effect as long as any policy in the closed block remains in force.


16

Nassau Life Insurance Company
(a wholly owned subsidiary of The Nassau Companies of New York)
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
(continued)
(in thousands except where noted in millions or billions)
The excess of closed block liabilities over closed block assets at the effective date of the demutualization represents the estimated maximum future earnings from the closed block expected to result from operations attributed to the closed block after income taxes. Earnings of the closed block are recognized in income over the period the policies and contracts in the closed block remain in force. Management believes that over time the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block will approximately equal the expected cumulative earnings due to the effect of dividend changes. If, over the period the closed block remains in existence, the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block are greater than the expected cumulative earnings of the closed block, NNY will pay the excess of the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block over the expected cumulative earnings to closed block policyholders as additional policyholder dividends unless offset by future unfavorable experience of the closed block. If over such period, the actual cumulative earnings of the closed block are less than the expected cumulative earnings of the closed block, NNY will recognize only the actual earnings in income.

The principal cash flow items that affect the amount of closed block assets and liabilities are premiums, net investment income, purchases and sales of investments, policyholders' benefits, policyholder dividends, premium taxes and income taxes. The principal income and expense items excluded from the closed block are management, maintenance, commission and certain investment expenses of the closed block.

Delaware Life acquisition and merger

After NNY completed its 2023 acquisition of DLNY, DLNY was merged with and into NNY pursuant to a merger agreement with NNY as the surviving entity. In accordance with SSAP No. 68, Business Combinations and Goodwill, the acquisition was treated as a statutory merger. Income of the combined reporting entity is required to include income of the constituents for the entire fiscal period in which the combination occurs and the balance sheet and the statements of operations for all years presented shall be restated, as required by SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors. The statements of operations and cash flow were restated for 2022. Refer below to Note 19 - "The Merger" for further details regarding the merger and restatement.

As of December 31, 2024, there are 53 below investment grade debt securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. Below investment grade unrealized losses greater than 12 months are $44.5 million. Securities in an unrealized loss position for over 12 months consisted of 1,778 securities. Unrealized losses were not recognized in earnings on these debt securities since the Company neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Additionally, based on a security-by-security analysis, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. In its evaluation of each security, management considered the actual recovery periods for these securities in previous periods of broad market declines. For securities with significant declines, individual security level analysis was performed, which considered any credit enhancements, expectations of defaults on underlying collateral and other available market data, including industry analyst reports and forecasts. Although there may be sustained losses for greater than 12 months on these securities, additional information was obtained related to company performance which did not indicate that the additional losses were other-than-temporary.

Total $ 6,071,042 $ 5,272,697

Corporate bonds are shown based on contractual maturity or contractual sinking fund payments. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, or NNY may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities ("ABS") are not due at a single maturity date and therefore are shown based on the expected cash flows of the underlying loans, which includes estimates of anticipated future prepayments.

The carrying value of OTTI securities was $4.5 million and $13.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. OTTIs were $25.0 million, $18.4 million and $13.0 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Internal and external prepayment models, which are widely accepted by the industry, are used in calculating the effective yield used in determining the carrying value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The retrospective method is applied in determining the prepayment adjustment.

Loan-backed securities

The Company has elected to use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective adjustment method to securities purchased prior to that date, where historical cash flows are not readily available.

Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed bonds and structured securities were obtained from industry prepayment models or internal estimates. These assumptions are consistent with current interest rates and the economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value these securities.

In 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no OTTI recognized because the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is greater than the amortized cost basis of the securities.

LTV and DSC ratios are measures frequently used in commercial real estate to determine the quality of a mortgage loan. The LTV ratio is a comparison between the current loan balance and the value assigned to the property and is expressed as a percentage. If the LTV is greater than 100%, this would indicate that the loan amount exceeds the value of the property.

The DSC ratio compares the property's net operating income to its mortgage debt service payments. If the DSC ratio is less than 1.0x, this would indicate that the property is not generating enough income after expenses to cover the mortgage payment. Therefore, a higher DSC ratio could indicate a better quality loan.

To monitor credit quality, the Company primarily uses RBC code, which is the risk category used in the RBC calculation that is based on debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value. The codes range from CM1 to CM7, with CM1 being the most stable. The Company holds $401.3 million CM1 loans and $76.4 million CM2 loans as of December 31, 2024. The Company held $405.0 million CM1 loans and $114.4 million CM2 loans as of December 31, 2023. The maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of the collateral security at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured, guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, acquired during 2024 and 2023 was 82.2% and 59.1%, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all loans were current.

During 2024, the minimum and maximum lending rates for mortgage loans were 3.2% and 6.3% respectively. There were no taxes, assessments, or amounts advanced not included in the mortgage loan total. There were no impairments on mortgage loans or any loans derecognized as a result of foreclosure for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Concentration of credit risk of financial instruments

Credit exposure related to issuers and derivatives counterparties is inherent in investments and derivative contracts with positive fair value or asset balances. The Company manages credit risk through the analysis of the underlying obligors, issuers and transaction structures. The Company reviews its debt security portfolio regularly to monitor the performance of obligors and assess the stability of their credit ratings. The Company also manages credit risk through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation. The Company classifies debt securities into investment grade and below-investment-grade securities based on ratings prescribed by the NAIC. In a majority of cases, these classifications will coincide with ratings assigned by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO"); however, for certain structured securities, the NAIC designations may differ from NRSRO designations based on the amortized cost of the securities in its portfolio. Maximum exposure to an issuer or derivative counterparty is defined by quality ratings, with higher quality issuers having larger exposure limits. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was not exposed to the credit concentration risk of any issuer other than U.S. government and government agencies backed by the faith and credit of the U.S. government, defined as exposure greater than 10% of total admitted assets. The top five largest exposures were The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Federal National Mortgage Association, Bank of America Corporation, Oracle Corporation, and Wells Fargo & Company. The Company monitors credit exposures by actively monitoring dollar limits on transactions with specific counterparties. The Company has an overall limit on below-investment-grade rated issuer exposure. Additionally, the creditworthiness of counterparties is reviewed periodically. The Company uses ISDA Master Agreements with derivative counterparties which may include Credit Support Annexes with collateral provisions to reduce counterparty credit exposures. To further mitigate the risk of loss on derivatives, the Company only enters into contracts in which the counterparty is a financial institution with a rating of A or higher from at least one NRSRO.

NNY waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium beyond date of death. Surrender values promised in excess of legally computed reserves have been included in miscellaneous reserves.

For a policy on which the substandard extra premium is based upon a multiple of standard mortality, the substandard extra reserve is based upon the excess of such multiple over standard mortality. For a policy carrying a flat extra premium, the extra reserve is one half of the flat extra premium.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of life insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation set by the Department. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company carried an associated reserve of $42.4 million and $45.3 million, respectively, included in reserves for future policy benefits. Anticipated investment income was utilized in the calculation.

During 2024, NNY, as part of the Servidata conversion of its participating whole life business, updated the reserve methodology and statutory valuation interest rate and mortality assumptions for that block that resulted in a net increase in reserves of $7.9 million. NNY also updated the statutory valuation interest rate and mortality for the DLNY Payout and Fixed Annuity business that resulted in a net increase in reserves of $0.1 million for that block. Overall, the net $8.0 million increase in reserves was recorded as a change in reserve basis included in other surplus changes, for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Tabular cost has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves. Tabular less actual reserves released has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of reserves and reserves released. Tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were $82.0 million and $82.0 million, respectively, of cash flow testing reserves from asset adequacy testing in the general account. Of those amounts, $37.0 million was ceded as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. In addition, there were $15.0 million of cash flow testing reserves resulting from asset adequacy testing in the separate account as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Reinsurance with unauthorized companies, certified companies and recapture

NNY has ceded insurance liabilities to insurers not licensed in the State of New York. To the extent such liabilities are not collateralized, New York insurance regulators require the establishment of a liability through a charge to surplus equal to the ceded liabilities placed with such companies. These liabilities were $1.1 million and $27.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and general liabilities.

Effective October 1, 2024, the Company recaptured the treaty with Nomura. In association with the recapture, the Company reduced ceded reserves from $187.5 million to $0 and paid a terminal settlement to the reinsurer of $2.0 million.

Effective October 1, 2024, the Company entered into a coinsurance and MODCO agreement with Munich, a Certified reinsurer. On the effective date, the Company recognized initial premium and initial funds withheld of $285.0 million which equaled the Coinsurance reserve. Additionally, the Company recognized a MODCO reserve of $2,574.7 million.

On July 18, 2023, Scottish Re (US), Inc. ("SRUS") was ordered into liquidation by the State of Delaware. As a result of the Liquidation Order, all reinsurance agreements in which SRUS was the reinsurer were terminated on September 30, 2023. As a result, management recorded an impairment of $1.8 million on net claims recoverable from SRUS. As a result of the SRUS termination, the Company recaptured the associated SRUS treaties. The related reserve credit in the amount of $4.5 million was reduced to $0 as of the termination date .

Reinsurance agreements with former affiliates

A former affiliate, PHL Variable Insurance Company ("PHL") has a treaty in force with the Company, whereby NNY has assumed, on a 90% coinsurance basis, all Phoenix Accumulator Universal Life III and IV sold by PHL from January 1 to December 31, 2008. The reserves ceded to NNY for these policies were $56.2 million and $56.4 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Effective June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a MODCO reinsurance agreement with PHL. This agreement provides that the Company retrocedes, and PHL reinsures, 80% of the inforce group executive ordinary ("GEO") corporate-owned whole life insurance policies assumed by the Company from a third-party. Under MODCO, the assets, which are equal to the statutory reserves held for the reinsured policies, and liabilities associated with the assumed business are retained by the Company. The MODCO reserves under this treaty were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Direct business written and reinsurance assumed and ceded

As is customary practice in the insurance industry, NNY assumes and cedes reinsurance as a means of diversifying underwriting risk.

NNY's reinsurance program varies based on the type of risk, for example:

•For business sold prior to December 31, 2010, the Company's retention limit on any one life is $10 million for single life and joint first-to-die policies and $12 million for joint last-to-die policies. Beginning January 1, 2011, the Company's retention limit on new business is $5 million for single life and joint first-to-die policies and $6 million for second-to-die policies.
•NNY cedes up to 80% on policies in its term life insurance.
•Under one DLNY premerger reinsurance agreement, certain of DLNY universal life insurance policies acquired are reinsured on a coinsurance and funds held coinsurance basis. The Company had liabilities for the funds held under this treaty of $160.9 million and $160.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Pursuant to another DLNY premerger reinsurance agreement, the Company ceded 100% of the liabilities under its DLNY group insurance policies on an indemnity coinsurance basis.

The Company utilizes separate accounts to record and account for assets and liabilities for particular lines of business and/or transactions. For the current reporting year, the Company reported assets and liabilities from the following product lines/transactions into a separate account: variable annuity, variable payout annuity, variable universal life, variable life and supplemental contracts. All separate account products are authorized under New York Insurance Law, §4240.

After the merger with DLNY, NNY also has non-insulated Separate Accounts for certain DLNY contracts that include an MVA feature associated with fixed rates, including for amounts allocated to the fixed portion of certain combination fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts. The assets in the non-insulated Separate Account are carried at fair value. The assets of the non-insulated Separate Account are not legally insulated and can be used by the Company to satisfy claims resulting from the General Account.

In accordance with the products/transactions recorded within the separate account, 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, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained separate account assets totaling $3,011.2 million and $3,033.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, The Company's Separate Account statements included legally insulated assets of $2,805.4 million and $2,776.7 million, respectively.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize the DTAs in the future without any tax planning strategies.

The Company believes that there is sufficient positive evidence to support that it is more likely than not that NNY will realize the full tax benefits associated with its DTAs, with the exception of $5.0 million in realized capital losses of DLNY. The realized losses of DLNY are limited under IRC 382 and management believes it is more likely than not that the realized losses will expire before they can be utilized. As a result, the Company established a $5.0 million valuation allowance on the full DLNY realized loss population as of December 31, 2024.

Regarding deferred tax liabilities that are not recognized, the Company has no temporary differences for which deferred tax liabilities have not been established.

The components of current income taxes incurred in the Statements of Income (Loss) and Changes in Capital and Surplus and the net deferred tax asset (liability) recognized in the Company's Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets and Statutory Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Effective July 1, 2023, NNY completed its acquisition of DLNY. On July 5, 2023, DLNY merged into NNY with NNY surviving pursuant to a merger agreement. See Note 1 - "Description of Business" and Note 3 - "Significant Transactions, Delaware Life acquisition and merger" for additional information regarding the acquisition.

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of The Nassau Companies, NCNY and its subsidiaries. The following companies were included in the consolidated federal income tax return for 2024:

The Nassau Companies
The Nassau Companies of New York, Inc.
PM Holdings, Inc.
Nassau Life Insurance Company
Phoenix Founders, Inc.

The method of allocation among affiliates of the Company is subject to written agreement approved by the Board of Directors and based upon separate return calculations with current credit for net losses to the extent the losses provide a benefit in the consolidated tax return.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provides a base erosion and anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") which represents minimum tax calculated on a base equal to the taxpayer's taxable income determined without regard to: (1) the tax benefits arising from base erosion payments, and (2) the applicable base erosion percentage of any NOL allowed for the tax year. The BEAT rate is 10% for tax years beginning in 2019 through 2025 and 12.5% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The Company is a member of an "Aggregate Group" within the meaning of the IRC and the Aggregate Group's base erosion payments are less than 3% of the Aggregate Group's total deductions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Accordingly, the BEAT liability was $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (the "Act"). Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, the Act includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on certain corporations. The Company has determined, as of the reporting date, that they are not subject to the CAMT in 2024.

13. Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current arms-length transaction. Included in several investment related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or, for certain bonds and preferred stock when carried at the lower of cost or market. The fair values presented for certain financial instruments are estimates which, in many cases, may differ significantly from the amounts which could be realized upon immediate liquidation. In cases where market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are based on discounted cash flow analyses, which utilize current interest rates for similar financial instruments, which have comparable terms and credit quality.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Bonds and preferred stock

The Company uses pricing vendors to estimate fair value for the majority of its public bonds and preferred stocks. The pricing vendors' estimates are based on market data and use pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. When pricing vendors are unable to obtain evaluations based on market data, fair value is determined by obtaining a direct broker quote or by using an internal model. For private placement debt securities, fair value is based on internal models using a discounted cash flow and spread matrix which incorporates U.S. Treasury yields, market spreads and average life calculations. For private fixed maturities, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model, which utilizes a discount rate based upon the average of spreads derived from public bond indices summed with a liquidity premium and takes into account, among other factors, the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. In determining the fair value of certain debt securities, the discounted cash flow model may also use unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company's own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the security. Certain private placement securities are internally valued using models or analyst judgment. When the discounted cash flow model is not appropriate, the Company uses third party broker quotes or other internally developed values. Short-term investments include securities with a maturity of one year or less but greater than three months at the time of purchase and are stated at estimated fair value or amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value.

Common stock

Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models. For fair values of common stock investments in subsidiaries, the Company uses the underlying GAAP equity in the subsidiary.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Other invested assets

Fair values for surplus debentures, residual tranches and certified capital companies ("capcos") are based on quoted market prices, where available, or quoted market prices of comparable instruments. If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models.

Investment contracts

The fair value of guaranteed interest contracts was assumed to be the same as book value.

The fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies with an interest guarantee of one year or less is valued at the amount of the policy reserve. In determining the fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies with interest guarantees greater than one year, a discount rate equal to the appropriate Treasury rate, plus 100 basis points, was used to determine the present value of the projected account value of the policy at the end of the current guarantee period.

Deposit-type funds, including pension deposit administration contracts, dividend accumulations, and other funds left on deposit not involving life contingencies, have interest guarantees of less than one year for which interest credited is closely tied to rates earned on owned assets. For such liabilities, fair value is assumed to be equal to the stated liability balances.

Mortgage loans

The Company's mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, which are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs and allowance for loan losses. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that, based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the Company determines that a loan is impaired, a valuation allowance is established for the excess carrying value of the loan over its estimated collateral value.

Derivatives

Fair values for over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative financial instruments, principally forwards, options and swaps, represent the present value of amounts estimated to be received from or paid to a marketplace participant in settlement of these instruments (i.e., the amount the Company would expect to receive in a derivative asset assignment or would expect to pay to have a derivative liability assumed). These derivatives are valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows and directly observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives or other OTC trades, while taking into account the counterparty's credit ratings, or the Company's own credit ratings, as appropriate. Determining the fair value for OTC derivative contracts can require a significant level of estimation and management judgment.

New and/or complex instruments may have immature or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used for valuation often incorporate significant estimates and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument, which may impact the results of operations reported in the financial statements. For long-dated and illiquid contracts, extrapolation methods are applied to observed market data in order to estimate inputs and assumptions that are not directly observable. This enables us to mark to market all positions consistently when only a subset of prices are directly observable. Values for OTC derivatives are verified using observed information about the costs of hedging the risk and other trades in the market. As the markets for these products develop, the Company will continually refine its pricing models to correlate more closely to the market risk of these instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100, Fair Value. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset's or a liability's classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds and exchange-traded equities.
•Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Examples of such instruments include government-backed mortgage products, certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities.
•Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect management's own assumptions about inputs in which market participants would use in pricing these types of assets or liabilities. Level 3 financial instruments include values which are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation. Additionally, the determination of some fair value estimates utilizes significant management judgments or best estimates.

The following tables provide information as of December 31 about the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis.

Fair values and changes in the fair values of separate account assets generally accrue directly to the policyholders and are not included in the Company's revenues and expenses or surplus.

Changes in Level 3 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The following table summarizes the changes in assets and liabilities classified in Level 3. Gains and losses reported in this table may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

2024 2023
Level 3 Assets:
Balance, beginning of period $ 124,880 $ 126,628
Purchases 6,815 4,063
Sales (5,144) (21,669)

Unrealized gains (losses) 12,437 3,642
Balance, end of period $ 125,802 $ 124,880

Transfers in and out of Level 3 occur at the beginning of each period. The securities which were transferred into Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were due to decreased market observability of similar assets and/or changes to NAIC ratings. Transfers out of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2024 were due to the increased market observability of similar assets and/or securities previously being held at fair value now being carried at amortized cost. Transfers out of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2023 were due to the implementation of due diligence procedures which allowed for a refinement of the analysis of observable inputs as described in more detail above. There were no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

For Level 3, inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect management's best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine fair value. Examples of valuation techniques used based on unobservable inputs include, but are not limited to, internal models, direct broker quotes and professional judgment.

14. Surplus Notes

NNY's 7.15% surplus notes are due December 15, 2034 and were originally issued with a face value of $175.0 million. During September 2012, the Company retired $48.3 million face value of these surplus notes, after receiving prior approval from the Department. Interest payments also require the prior approval of the Department and may be made only out of surplus funds that the Department determines to be available for such payments under New York insurance law. The 7.15% surplus notes were issued December 15, 2004 and interest on the notes is scheduled to be paid on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2005. Interest payments for these notes for 2024 and 2023 each totaled $9.1 million. The 7.15% surplus notes may be redeemed at the option of NNY at any time at the "make-whole" redemption price set forth in the offering circular. New York insurance law provides that the notes are not part of the legal liabilities of NNY. The 7.15% notes were issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. NLA, an affiliate, holds $2.2 million of these notes.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and regulatory matters

The Company is regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation and arbitration naming the Company as a defendant ordinarily involves the Company's businesses and operations. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs are seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.

The Company periodically receives informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations related to the Company's products and practices. It is the Company's practice to cooperate fully in these matters.

It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all litigation, arbitration or regulatory proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. It is believed that the outcome of the Company's litigation, arbitration, and regulatory matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company beyond the amounts already reported in these financial statements. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or cash flows in particular annual periods.

Litigation related to lapsed California policies

On October 27, 2022, a putative class action captioned Velez v. Foresters Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("FLIAC") was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County. On December 9, 2022, the Company timely removed the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California, 2:22-cv-08932. The litigation alleges that FLIAC, which was merged into the Company effective July 8, 2020, improperly lapsed life insurance policies issued in California without fully complying with California Insurance Code Sections 10113.71 and 10113.72. The litigation makes substantially the same allegations made in litigation filed against FLIAC prior to the merger with the Company in Siino v. Foresters Life and Annuity Company filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 4:20-cv-02904, in which class certification was subsequently denied. In Siino, FLIAC filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in relation to the granting of summary judgment and Plaintiff filed a cross-appeal relating to the denial of class certification. Thereafter, the Plaintiff decided not to pursue the cross-appeal and it was later dismissed on August 29, 2024. Oral argument on the Siino appeal was heard on January 14, 2025, and we await a ruling on the appeal. In Velez, the Plaintiff withdrew her motion for class certification. Considering the appeal in Siino, on April 1, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the Velez case. The Velez case currently remains stayed pending adjudication of the Siino appeal. The Company disputes the allegations in both the Siino and Velez complaints and intends a vigorous defense in the event the cases proceed.

16. Other Commitments

As part of its normal investment activities, the Company enters into agreements to fund limited partnerships that make debt and equity investments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded commitments of $173.9 million.

In addition, the Company enters into agreements to purchase private placement investments. At December 31, 2024, the Company had open commitments of $6.2 million.


17. Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company, at December 31, 2024 and 2023, held the following financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk:

Assets* Liabilities*
2024 2023 2024 2023
Swaps $ 900,000 $ 900,000 $ 23,216 $ 18,423
Total $ 900,000 $ 900,000 $ 23,216 $ 18,423
-------
* Notional amount

The Company uses derivative instruments including interest rate swaps. A more detailed description of these instruments is provided in Footnote 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

The Company is not exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments, as the interest rate swaps are fully collateralized. The credit exposure of interest rate swaps is represented by the fair value (market value) of contracts with a positive fair value (market value) at the reporting date.

Because exchange-traded interest rate swaps are affected through a regulated exchange and positions are marked to market on a daily basis, the Company has no exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such financial instruments.

The Company is required to put up collateral for any interest rate swap contracts that are entered. The amount of collateral that is required is determined by the exchange on which it is traded. The Company currently puts up cash to satisfy this collateral requirement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company posted $65.5 million and $61.0 million of collateral, respectively.

The current credit exposure of the Company's derivative contracts is limited to the fair value at the reporting date. Credit risk is managed by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining collateral as required. The Company also attempts to minimize its exposure to credit risk through the use of various credit monitoring techniques. Approximately 100% of the net credit exposure to the Company from derivative contracts is with investment-grade counterparties.


18. Appropriated Surplus

Surplus includes amounts available for contingencies, some of which are required by state regulatory authorities. The contingency amounts as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2.5 million.

19. The Merger

On July 1, 2023, NNY completed its acquisition of DLNY for a purchase price of $188.5 million after receipt of insurance regulatory approval by the NYDFS. Effective July 5, 2023, DLNY merged with and into NNY pursuant to a merger agreement with NNY as the surviving entity. In accordance with SSAP No. 68, the acquisition was treated as a statutory merger. The Company's shares remained as the outstanding shares of the merged company. No new shares were issued by the Company, and the common capital stock of DLNY was canceled under the agreement.

Pre-merger unaudited separate company revenue, net income, and other surplus adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (the date of the last quarterly filings for NNY and DLNY) were as follows (in millions):

NNY
DLNY
Revenue $ 333.9 $ 29.6
Net income (loss) $ (62.2) $ 14.7
Other surplus adjustments $ (12.7) $ (5.1)

For 2023, the merger adjustments line includes $9.6 million as a reduction to capital and surplus related to DLNY's net income and other surplus changes.


20. Reconciliation to the Annual Statement

In the 2024 Annual Statement, the Company classified adjustments related to the recapture of the Nomura treaty and the Munich Re replacement treaty in the Statements of Cash Flows as miscellaneous income instead of benefits and loss related payments. In the audited Statements of Cash Flows, the recapture and simultaneous replacement is presented in the Statements of Cash Flows as an adjustment to claims and benefits. There was no net change to net cash provided for (used from) operations. The amount reclassified was $744.0 million.

In the 2023 Annual Statement, the Company classified the acquisition of DLNY (which was subsequently merged into NNY) in the Statements of Cash Flows as cash used for financing and miscellaneous sources. In the audited Statements of Cash Flows, the acquisition is presented in the Statements of Cash Flows as cash used for investments. The amount reclassified was $188.5 million.


21. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2024 and through March 31, 2025, the date of issuance of these financial statements. There were no events occurring subsequent to the end of the year that merited recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2024

Note 3-Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuation

Investments in mutual fund shares are carried in the statement of assets and liabilities at market value (net asset value of the underlying mutual fund). Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized capital gains and losses on sales of investments are determined based on the average cost of investments sold. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Market Risk

Each subaccount invests in shares of a single underlying fund. The investment performance of each subaccount will reflect the investment performance of the underlying fund less separate account expenses. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be met. A fund calculates a daily net asset value per share ( NAV ) which is based on the market value of its investment portfolio. The amount of risk varies significantly between subaccounts. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment portfolios, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment portfolios will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect contract holder's investments in the funds and the amounts reported in the statement of assets and liabilities. The contract holder assumes all of the investment performance risk for the subaccounts selected.

Reinvestment of Dividends

Dividend and capital gain distributions paid by the mutual funds to the Separate Account are reinvested in additional shares of each respective fund. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of NNY, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Under the current provisions of the IRC, NNY does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the earnings are credited under contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. NNY will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In applying these estimates and assumptions, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions about matters that are uncertain and inherently subject to change such as the possibility for elevated mortality rates and market volatility.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as 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 (an exit price).

The Separate Account invests in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process contract holders directed purchases, sales and transfers on a daily basis at the funds' computed net asset values (NAVs). The fair value of the Separate Account's assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the custodians and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

Because the fund provides liquidity for the investments through purchases and redemptions at NAV, this may represent the fair value of the investment in the fund. That is, for an open-ended mutual fund, the fair value of an investment in the fund would not be expected to be higher than the amount that a new investor would be required to spend in order to directly invest in the mutual fund. Similarly, the hypothetical seller of the investment would not be expected to accept less in proceeds than it could receive by directly redeeming its investment with the fund.

Note 3-Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Separate Account measures the fair value of its investment in the Fund on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Separate Account has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent observable inputs are not available, representing the Separate Account's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the assets or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Investments in Fund shares are valued using the reported net asset value of the Funds at the end of each New York Stock Exchange business day, as determined by the Funds. Investments held by the Separate Account are Level 1 within the hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Segment Disclosures

In this reporting period, the Separate Account adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the financial position or the results of operations for the subaccounts of the Separate Account. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the Accounting Operations Department, who is responsible for reviewing subaccount financial statements and related Separate Account controls. The Separate Account represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on the investment selections of its contract holders. The financial information which is used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as net assets and significant segment expenses are reported in the Statements of Operations. The CODM does not evaluate the business using asset or subaccount expense information.

Note 5-Related Party Transactions and Charges and Deductions

Related Party Transactions

NNY and its affiliate, 1851 Securities, Inc. ("1851 Securities"), provide services to the Separate Account. NNY is the insurer who provides the contract benefits as well as administrative and contract maintenance services to the Separate Account. 1851 Securities, a registered broker/dealer, is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Separate Account.

Charges and Deductions

NNY makes deductions from the contract to compensate for the various expenses in selling, maintaining, underwriting and issuing the contracts and providing guaranteed insurance benefits.

Certain charges are deducted from the contracts as a daily reduction in Unit Value. The charges are included in a separate line item entitled "Mortality and administrative expenses" in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Other periodic charges are taken out as a transaction on a monthly basis. Those charges appear on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets on line "Contract maintenance charges". The contract charges are described below:

A. Contract Maintenance Charges

The Separate Account is assessed periodic Contract maintenance charges which are designed to compensate NNY for certain costs associated with maintenance. The charges assessed to the Separate Account for Contract maintenance charges are outlined as follows:

Contract Surrender Charge - There is a 15-year surrender charge period on both ISP Choice 15 and ISP Choice Whole Life. This charge is calculated based upon each $1,000 of face amount surrendered or partially surrendered and may vary with the age and sex of the insured.

Cost of Insurance Charge - In accordance with terms of the contracts, NNY makes monthly deductions for costs of insurance to cover NNY's anticipated mortality costs. Because a contract value and death benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary.

All of the above expenses are reflected as redemption of units, and are included in a separate line item entitled "Contract maintenance charges" in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

B. Daily M&E and Administrative Fees

As mentioned above, these fees are typically deducted daily from contract value allocated to the variable subaccounts. These expenses are included in a separate line item entitled "Mortality and administrative expenses" in the accompanying Statements of Operations. This expense is reflected as a daily reduction of unit values.

Below is a table that summarizes the guaranteed maximum annual equivalent M&E Fees deductions for the various plans offered by NNY:

Plan Annual M&E Factor - Assessed Daily
ISP 0.50%
ISP Choice 0.50%
ISP Choice 15 (years 1 - 15) 0.50%
ISP Choice 15 (Years 16 +) 0.25%
ISP Choice WL (years 1 - 20) 0.50%
ISP Choice WL (years 21 +) 0.25%
ISP 10 Express 1.50%

NNY may deduct other charges depending on the policy terms.

Certain liabilities of the Separate Account are payable to NNY when these fees are not settled at the end of the period, and will be shown in the liability section of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

1 These units include units held for certain direct charges to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units.
2 These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in unit values or redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.
3 These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for the periods indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.
4 These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Nassau Life Insurance Company

and Contract Owners of First Investors Life Level Premium Variable Life Insurance Separate Account B:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise First Investors Life Level Premium Variable Life Insurance Separate Account B (the Separate Account) as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended (or for the period indicated in the Appendix), statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (or for the period indicated in the Appendix), and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights in Note 7 for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended (or for the period indicated in the Appendix), the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (or for the period indicated in the Appendix), and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account 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 and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2024, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. 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 and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
