The Company operates in three segments: domestic life insurance, international life insurance and annuities. The Company provides life insurance products for the savings and protection needs of approximately 137,000 policyholders and for the asset accumulation and retirement needs of 140,000 annuity contract holders.

The Company's life products provide protection for the life of the insured and, in some cases, allow for cash value accumulation on a tax-deferred basis. These product offerings include universal life insurance (UL), interest-sensitive whole life, and traditional products, such as term insurance coverage. Interest sensitive products, such as UL accept premiums that are applied to an account value. The equity-indexed universal life (EIUL) policy whose credited interest may be linked in part to an outside index, such as the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) at the election of the policyholder. Annuity products sold include flexible premium and single premium deferred annuities, fixed-indexed annuities, and single premium immediate annuities. A fixed single premium deferred annuity (SPDA) provides for a single premium payment at the time of issue, an accumulation period, and an annuity payout period commencing at some future date. A flexible premium deferred annuity (FPDA) provides the same features but allows, generally with some conditions, additional payments into the contract.
