• | The SECURE Act limits the availability of the “stretch” feature for non-spouse beneficiaries of IRAs and defined contribution retirement plans. Most non-spouse beneficiaries will no longer be able to satisfy the RMD rules with lifetime distributions, but will have to take their distributions within ten years. Certain exceptions apply to “eligible designated beneficiaries which include disabled and chronically ill individuals, individuals who are ten or less years younger than the deceased individual, and children who have not reached the age of majority. This change applies to distributions to designated beneficiaries of individuals who die on and after January 1, 2020. |
• | The age on which RMDs generally must begin based on the individual’s applicable age. If the individual attains (1) age 70½ before 2020, the applicable age is 70½; (2) age 72 during or after 2020 but before 2023, the applicable age is 72; (3) age 72 during or after 2023 and age 73 before 2033, the applicable age is 73; or (4) age 74 after 2032, the applicable age is 75. |

• | Bonds not backed by other loans are stated at amortized cost using the interest (constant yield) method. Bonds that are in or near default are stated at fair value. For other-than-temporary impairments, the cost basis of the bond is written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss. |
• | Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest (constant yield) method including anticipated prepayments. Projected cash flows are obtained from public third party sources, primarily Moody’s, or if not readily available, they are obtained from asset managers. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. Prepayment speeds affect the projected cash flows and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities. |
• | Common stock are valued at fair value. |
• | Redeemable preferred stock that have characteristics of debt securities and are rated as medium quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stock are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value. Perpetual preferred stock are reported at fair value, not to exceed any stated call price. There are no restrictions on preferred stock. |
• | Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost. |
• | Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost. |

4. | FAIR VALUES |
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. The types of financial investments included in Level 1 are listed equities, money market funds, U.S. Treasury Securities, and non-interest-bearing cash. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value determined through the use of models or other valuation methods. Such inputs may include benchmarking prices for similar assets in active, liquid markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and observable yields and spreads in the market. Level 2 valuations may be obtained from independent sources for identical or comparable assets or through the use of valuation methodologies using observable market-corroborated inputs. Prices from third party pricing services are validated through analytical reviews. Financial instruments in this category include publicly traded issues such as U.S. and foreign corporate securities, and residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, among others. |
Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Market standard techniques for determining the estimated fair value of certain securities that trade infrequently may rely on inputs that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived from or corroborated by market observable data. Prices are determined using valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flow models and other techniques. Management believes these inputs are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing similar assets. |

1) | Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY recaptured $5,127 of reserves representing 100% of the business under two existing reinsurance agreements with ALIC. ALICNY received $4,419 in cash related to the recaptured business. |
2) | Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY ceded blocks of life and accident and health policies, with aggregate reserves of $37,645, to American Heritage Life (AHL) pursuant to a coinsurance agreement. AHL paid a ceding commission of $15,500 to ALICNY related to this transaction recorded as commission and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded. The increase in surplus, net of tax, of $13,269 was reported as an adjustment to surplus in accordance with SSAP No. 61, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance (SSAP 61). During 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income of $1,738 and $2,105, respectively, for the amortization of the ceding commission and a corresponding decrease in surplus. |
3) | Effective December 31, 2001, and later amended, ALICNY ceded reinvestment related risk on certain structured settlement annuities to its former parent, ALIC, under an Automatic Reinsurance Agreement (the Stop Loss). Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY and ALIC agreed to terminate the agreement resulting in an increase to ALICNY’s asset adequacy reserves of $1,301,378. ALICNY received $7,251 in cash for settlement of accrued premiums and benefits. Prior to the termination, under this agreement ALICNY paid premiums of $2,480, and $3,335 to ALIC and received benefits of $22,885 and $21,000 from ALIC in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact on ALICNY’s unassigned surplus for the Stop Loss termination was a reduction of $1,301,378. |
4) | Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY entered into a coinsurance funds withheld agreement and ceded life and payout annuity policies to WRAC (the IGR). The agreement consisted of an initial settlement to WRAC in the amount of $4,553,349, inclusive of a ceding commission paid by ALICNY of $183,000. A portion of the initial settlement, in the amount of $4,048,954, remained in a funds withheld account at ALICNY. Life and annuity reserves in the amount of $4,375,690 were ceded to WRAC under the agreement. The impact on ALICNY’s unassigned surplus from the initiation of the treaty was an increase of $200,619. |

1. | Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY recaptured $5,127 of reserves representing 100% of the business under two existing reinsurance agreements with ALIC. ALICNY received $4,419 in cash related to the recaptured business. |
2. | Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY ceded blocks of life and accident and health policies, with aggregate reserves of $37,645, to American Heritage Life (AHL) pursuant to a coinsurance agreement. AHL paid a ceding commission of $15,500 to ALICNY related to this transaction recorded as commission and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded. The increase in surplus, net of tax, of $13,269 was reported as an adjustment to surplus in accordance with SSAP No. 61, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance. During 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income of $1,738 and $2,105, respectively, for the amortization of the ceding commission and a corresponding decrease in surplus as a result of reinsurance. |
3. | Effective December 31, 2001, and later amended, ALICNY ceded reinvestment related risk on certain structured settlement annuities to its former parent, ALIC, under an Automatic Reinsurance Agreement (the Stop Loss). Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY and ALIC agreed to terminate the agreement resulting in an increase to ALICNY’s asset adequacy reserves of $1,301,378. ALICNY received $7,251 in cash in settlement of accrued premiums and benefits. Prior to the termination, under this agreement ALICNY paid premiums of $2,480 and $3,335 to ALIC and received benefits of $22,885 and $21,000 from ALIC in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact on ALICNY’s unassigned surplus for the Stop Loss termination was a reduction of $1,301,378. |
4. | Effective October 1, 2021, ALICNY entered into a coinsurance funds withheld agreement and ceded life and payout annuity policies to WRAC (the IGR). The agreement consisted of an initial settlement to WRAC in the amount of $4,553,349, inclusive of a ceding commission paid by ALICNY of $183,000. A portion of the initial settlement, in the amount of $4,048,954, remained in a funds withheld account at ALICNY. Life and annuity reserves in the amount of $4,375,690 were ceded to WRAC under the agreement. The impact on ALICNY’s unassigned surplus from the initiation of the treaty was an increase of $200,619. |

ITEM 17. | UNDERTAKINGS. |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement. |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
