Lincoln Financial Closes $6.3 Billion Reinsurance Transaction with Talcott<\/b><\/p>\n

Transaction marks continued progress on efforts to de-risk and strengthen the company’s balance sheet<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

RADNOR, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nLincoln Financial (NYSE: LNC) announced that it has closed its previously announced reinsurance transaction with Talcott Financial Group (\u201cTalcott\u201d), with an effective date of October 1, 2026. The $6.3 billion total transaction includes the reinsurance by a Talcott subsidiary of approximately $5.8 billion of in-force guaranteed universal life (\u201cGUL\u201d) statutory reserves, representing approximately 37% of Lincoln\u2019s remaining in-force GUL block. Combined with Lincoln\u2019s 2023 reinsurance transaction with Fortitude Re, approximately 60% of Lincoln\u2019s total GUL block is now reinsured, which further reduces Lincoln\u2019s exposure to a legacy, capital-intensive block of business. Lincoln will continue to administer the reinsured policies.<\/p>\n
