If the Exchange's ability to grow or renew policies [added: or implement rate changes] were adversely impacted, the premium revenue of the Exchange could be adversely affected, which could reduce our management fee revenue.

Rewritten

If the Exchange's competitors offer property and casualty products with more coverage, offer lower rates, or introduce innovative services in response to evolving customer [added: preferences, and the Exchange is unable to implement product or service improvements quickly enough to keep pace, its ability to grow and renew its business may be adversely impacted.]

Rewritten

If an extreme catastrophic event were to occur in a heavily concentrated geographic area of [removed: subscribers/policyholders,] [added: subscribers (policyholders),] an extraordinarily high number of claims could have the potential to strain claims processing and affect the Exchange's ability to service its customers.

Rewritten

[added: Limited partnerships are] significantly less liquid and generally involve higher degrees of price risk than publicly traded securities.

Rewritten

The uncertainty of risks that emerge upon the occurrence of significant unexpected events, such as pandemics, or unexpected economic or social inflation caused by supply chain issues, [added: changes in tariffs,] societal trends, or otherwise, may cause additional challenges in the process of estimating loss and loss adjustment expense reserves or premiums to accommodate future claims and expenses.

Rewritten

For example, the behavior of claimants and policyholders and the timing and amounts of claims settlements may change in unexpected [removed: ways.][added: ways, including increased attorney involvement and third-party litigation financing, which could result in large jury awards.]

Rewritten

[removed: This] [added: These risks] may result in changes to the Exchange's estimated level of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves or impact the adequacy of premiums to accommodate future claims and expenses.

Rewritten

If there were legislative action in response to a pandemic or other significant unexpected event that retroactively mandated coverage irrespective of terms, exclusions or other conditions included in [removed: policies, such as business interruption,] [added: policies] that would otherwise preclude coverage, it could have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Exchange.

Rewritten

The frequency and severity of these [removed: catastrophes is inherently unpredictable.]

Rewritten

Changing climate conditions have [removed: added to] [added: created additional uncertainty regarding] the [removed: unpredictability of] [added: future trends in] the frequency and severity of natural [removed: disasters and have created additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures.][added: disasters.]

Rewritten

In addition, talented employees in [removed: the] actuarial, finance, human resources, [removed: information technology,] law, [removed: and] risk management [removed: areas] [added: and information technology, including artificial intelligence and data analytics,] are also essential to support our core functions.

Rewritten

If we do not effectively and efficiently manage [removed: and upgrade our] [added: new] technology [added: initiatives, maintain existing] systems, or attract and retain qualified information technology employees and contract personnel to support [removed: those systems,] [added: them,] our ability to serve our customers and implement our strategic initiatives could be adversely impacted.

Rewritten

[removed: Cyber threats] [added: Our systems regularly face cyber threats, which] can create significant risks such as destruction of systems or data, denial or interruption of service, disruption of transaction execution, loss or exposure of customer data, theft or exposure of our intellectual property, theft of funds or disruption of other important business functions.

Rewritten

Our interactions with, and reliance upon, third parties [removed: may also] expose us to increased risk related to data security, service disruptions or effectiveness of our control system, particularly as we increase our reliance on cloud-based computing and software-as-a-service from third parties to operate our business.

Rewritten

While we [added: also] maintain cyber liability insurance to mitigate the financial risk around cyber incidents, such insurance may not cover all costs associated with the consequences of information or systems being compromised, and such insurance may become prohibitively expensive to maintain.

Rewritten

While we continue to test and assess our business continuity and disaster recovery plans to validate they meet the needs of our core business operations and address multiple business interruption events, there is no assurance that core business operations [removed: could be performed upon the occurrence of such an event.]

Rewritten

General economic [removed: conditions] [added: conditions, geopolitical events, fiscal] and [added: monetary policy and] other factors beyond our control can adversely affect the value of our investments and the realization of net investment income or result in realized investment losses.

Rewritten

The performance of the fixed [removed: income] [added: maturity] portfolio is subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to:

Rewritten

- Interest rate risk - the risk of adverse changes in the value of fixed [removed: income] [added: maturity] securities as a result of increases in market interest rates.

Rewritten

- Investment credit risk - the risk that the value of certain investments may decrease due to the deterioration in financial condition of, or the liquidity available to, one or more issuers of those securities or, in the case of structured securities, [removed: due to the deterioration of the loans or other assets that underlie the securities, which, in each case, also includes the risk of permanent loss.]

Rewritten

Approximately [removed: 36%] [added: 32%] of our fixed maturity portfolio is expected to mature over the next three years.

Equity markets, sectors, industries, and individual securities may also be subject to some of the same risks that affect our fixed [removed: income] [added: maturity] portfolio, as discussed above.

Rewritten

All of our fixed [removed: income] [added: maturity] and equity securities are subject to market volatility.

Rewritten

We review the fixed [removed: income] [added: maturity] portfolio on a periodic basis to evaluate positions that are in an unrealized loss position to determine whether impairments are a result of credit loss or other factors.

Recently issued accounting standards and disclosure rules

New in FY2024

We plan to adopt the standard in our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, and we expect the standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures.

In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, *"The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors"*, requiring registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports.

New in FY2024

The final rules include disclosure of climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a registrant’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

New in FY2024

Disclosures related to significant effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates are required in the financial statements in certain circumstances.

New in FY2024

Disclosure requirements will phase in for fiscal years beginning in 2025 and be applied prospectively upon adoption.

Cash and cash equivalents

New in FY2024

*Securities lending* – Beginning in May 2024 we entered into securities lending transactions, managed by a third-party banking institution, whereby securities are loaned to unaffiliated financial institutions for short periods of time.

New in FY2024

The securities lending activity is accounted for as a secured borrowing and therefore the securities loaned, primarily available-for-sale securities, are carried as invested assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, while the obligation to return the cash collateral is recorded as a current liability.

New in FY2024

The cash collateral received at the inception of the loan is reinvested and the related income is recognized in net investment income.

New in FY2024

Noncash collateral is not recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as we do not have the right to sell, repledge, or otherwise reinvest the noncash collateral.

New in FY2024

The collateral is required to equal a minimum of 102% of the estimated fair value of the securities loaned, and maintained at a level greater than or equal to 100% for the duration of the loan.

New in FY2024

We monitor the ratio of the collateral held to the estimated fair value of the securities loaned on a daily basis and obtain additional collateral as necessary.

New in FY2024

A securities lending transaction may be terminated at any time by the borrower or the lender.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Dropped from FY2023

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Dropped from FY2023

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Dropped from FY2023

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Dropped from FY2023

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
