The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC)

        At March 31, 2005, TIC had $48.0 billion of life and annuity product deposit funds and reserves. Of that total, $27.4 billion is not subject to discretionary withdrawal based on contract terms. The remaining $20.6 billion is for life and annuity products that are subject to discretionary withdrawal by the contractholder. Included in the amount that is subject to discretionary withdrawal is $7.5 billion of liabilities that are surrenderable with market value adjustments. Also included is an additional $5.0 billion of the life insurance and individual annuity liabilities which are subject to discretionary withdrawals at an average surrender charge of 6.6%. In the payout phase, these funds are credited at significantly reduced interest rates. The remaining $8.1 billion of liabilities is surrenderable without charge. Approximately 6.0% of this relates to individual life products. These risks would have to be underwritten again if transferred to another carrier, which is considered a significant deterrent against withdrawal by long-term policyholders. Insurance liabilities that are surrendered or withdrawn are reduced by outstanding policy loans and related accrued interest prior to payout.

        TIC's primary tool for liquidity management is a cash reporting tool and forecast performed on a daily basis. In addition, TIC monitors its ability to cover contractual obligations under extreme stress conditions through the use of liquid securities in its investment portfolio.

        Certain of these subsidiaries and operations are included in the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business.
