TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE GUARANTEE PERIODS
Market Value Adjustment Risk. All withdrawals in excess of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount, transfers (other than dollar cost averaging program transfers), and amounts applied to an Income Plan from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken or applied during the 30-day period after such Guarantee Period expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. In addition, in the case of the AIM Lifetime Plus Contract, a negative Market Value Adjustment may apply to the death benefit if the death benefit is based on Settlement Value. A Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase from the first day of a Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjustment could reduce the value of your investment to an amount that is less than the amount you invested in a Guarantee Period. Your losses could be significant.
Withdrawal Risk. All withdrawals in excess of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount may be subject to withdrawal charges and negative Market Value Adjustments. Losses from withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustments could be significant. Income taxes and certain tax restrictions may apply to any withdrawal. If taken before age 5912, a withdrawal may also be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. Systematic withdrawals from a Guarantee Period will repeatedly expose you to these risks associated with withdrawals. For more information about withdrawal charges, please see “FEES AND EXPENSES RELATED TO THE GUARANTEE PERIODS - Withdrawal Charges” in this prospectus.
Declared Interest Rate Risk. We may declare new interest rates for new Guarantee Periods. We will not change the interest rate that we credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period. We determine the interest rates to be declared in our sole discretion, subject to the minimum guaranteed 3% interest rate stated in the Contract. You bear the risk that we will not declare an interest rate higher than the guaranteed minimum interest rate.
Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability. An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to us, WRNY. Any obligations (including under the Guarantee Periods), guarantees, and benefits under the Contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you. For more information about the Company, including our financial statements, see Information with Respect to the Registrant.
Cybersecurity and Business Continuity Risks. Our operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology and communication systems. Any failure of or gap in the systems and processes necessary to support complex transactions and avoid systems failure, fraud, information security failures, processing errors, cyber intrusion, loss of data, and breaches of regulation may lead to a materially adverse effect on our administration of the Contract. We cannot assure you that interruptions, failures, or breaches in security of these processes and systems will not occur, or if they do occur, that they can be timely detected and remediated. Also, our business operations may be adversely affected by volatile natural and man-made disasters, including (but not limited to) hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism, civil unrest, military action, fires and explosions, pandemic diseases, and other catastrophes. Such events may impact the availability and capacity of our key personnel and may have a materially adverse effect on our administration of the Contract.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY
Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (“ALICNY”) was the original issuer of the Contracts. On March 29, 2021 WRAC, a Minnesota-domiciled stock life company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ALICNY pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Allstate Insurance Company, Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation, and Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC. The transaction closed on October 1, 2021. On November 1, 2021, ALICNY merged with and into WRNY.
WRNY is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of New York. WRNY is licensed in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. WRNY administers life and annuity contracts, including variable life and variable annuity contracts that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are issued through separate accounts that are registered as unit investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. WRNY is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of WRAC, a holding company organized under the laws of Minnesota, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wilton Re US Holdings, Inc., a holding company organized under the laws of Delaware. Wilton Re Ltd. (“WRL”) is deemed the ultimate parent corporation in the Company’s holding company system.
The statutory home office of WRNY is located at 800 Westchester Avenue, Suite 641 North, Rye Brook, NY 10573.
The Fixed Account is supported by our general account, which supports our insurance and annuity obligations. Our general account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of our general account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of our general account. Our obligations with respect to the Fixed Account are subject to our financial strength and claims paying.
Refer to Information with Respect to the Registrant for additional information about WRNY.
DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEE PERIODS
GUARANTEE PERIODS
If you invest in a Guarantee Period, you will earn a fixed rate of interest for a “Guarantee Period.” You have the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods. Each purchase payment allocation or transfer to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. In the future, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
If you instruct us to allocate to a Guarantee Period but do not specify the number of years:
AIM Lifetime Plus: We will allocate to the same period selected for your most recent purchase payment(s), if available. Otherwise, we will reject the allocation as not in good order.
AIM Lifetime Plus II, Custom Portfolio, SelectDirections: We will allocate to the shortest Guarantee Period available. If no Guarantee Period is available, we will reject the allocation as not in good order.
Each purchase payment allocation or transfer to a Guarantee Period must be at least $500. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to a Guarantee Period.
INTEREST RATES
We will tell you what interest rates we are offering at a particular time. We may declare new interest rates for new Guarantee Periods. Therefore, we may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the same length that begin at different times. We will not change the interest rate that we credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period.
We have no specific formula for determining the rates of interest we declare. We will set those interest rates based on investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. However, we guarantee that the annual interest rate we declare for any of the Guarantee Periods will never be less than 3%.
WE DETERMINE THE INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED FOR NEW GUARANTEE PERIODS IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, SUBJECT TO THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANNUAL INTEREST RATE. WE CAN NEITHER PREDICT NOR OTHERWISE GUARANTEE WHAT THE RATES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE.

For information about interest rates for the Guarantee Periods, please contact your sales representative or WRNY at 1-800-457-7617.
HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST
We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the effective annual interest rate that we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period.
The following example illustrates how a purchase payment allocated to the Fixed Account would grow, given an assumed Guarantee Period and effective annual interest rate:

$12,461.82
Total Interest Credited During Guarantee Period = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)
This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5-year Guarantee Period. If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict current or future interest rates to be declared under the Contract.
Actual interest rates declared for any given Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above but will never be less than the guaranteed minimum rate stated in the Contract.
RENEWALS
Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. This notice will be issued at least 15 but not more than 45 days prior to the end of the Guarantee Period. You will receive a notice of the interest rate that will apply if you choose to apply your money to a new Guarantee Period. You may also contact your sales representative or WRNY at 1-800-457-7617 to inquire about the interest rate that would apply to your new Guarantee Period.
During the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
(1)
Take no action.
If you take no action:
AIM Lifetime Plus and AIM Lifetime Plus II: We will automatically apply your money to a Guarantee Period of the shortest duration available. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be the rate in effect on the 1st day of the new period. If no Guarantee Periods are available at the time the previous Guarantee Period ends, we will transfer your money to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account.
Custom Portfolio and SelectDirections: We will automatically apply your money to a Guarantee Period of the shortest duration available. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be the rate in effect on the 1st day of the new period. Under our automatic laddering program (“Automatic Laddering Program”), you may choose, in advance, to use Guarantee Periods of the same length for all renewals. You can select the Automatic Laddering Program at any time during the Accumulation Phase, including on the Issue Date. We will apply renewals to Guarantee Periods of the selected length until you direct us in writing to stop. We may stop offering the Automatic Laddering Program at any time.
(2)
Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice.
The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those new Guarantee Periods.
(3)
Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more Variable Sub-Accounts.
We will effect the transfer on the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred to include a Market Value Adjustment. In addition, we will pay interest from the day the previous Guarantee Period ends until the date of the transfer. The interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then available, but no less than the guaranteed minimum annual interest rate of 3%.
Please see the related prospectus for your variable annuity contract for additional information about the Variable Sub-Accounts.
(4)
Withdraw all or a portion of your money.
You may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if taken before age 5912. The amount withdrawn will be deemed to have been withdrawn on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. Unless you specify otherwise, amounts not withdrawn will be processed as described under (1) above.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
All withdrawals in excess of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount, transfers, and amounts applied to an Income Plan from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken or applied during the 30-day period after the Guarantee Period ends, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment may also apply to amounts invested in a Guarantee Period that are paid out as death benefits if the death benefit is calculated outside of the 30-day period after the Guarantee Period ends, as discussed under “Death Benefits.” On the Payout Start Date, any amounts in a Guarantee Period will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment unless the Payout Start Date occurs during the 30-day period after the Guarantee Period ends, as discussed under “Payout Start Date.” After the Payout Start Date, you will no longer be subject to potential Market Value Adjustments.
We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make within the Preferred Withdrawal Amount or to a withdrawal you make to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules. We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to any automatic transfers as part of a dollar cost averaging program.
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time it is removed from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the time remaining in the Guarantee Period when you remove your money. “Treasury Rate” means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value
6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, premium taxes, and income tax withholding (if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal of your Contract Value to an amount that is less than the purchase payment plus interest at the minimum guaranteed interest rate under the Contract.
Generally, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a period equal to the time remaining in the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred, or applied to an Income Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal to the time remaining in the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower amount payable to you, transferred, or applied to an Income Plan.
For example, assume that you select an initial Guarantee Period of 5 years, and the 5-year Treasury Rate for that duration is 4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at that later time, the current 2-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 2-year Treasury Rate is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a decrease in the amount payable to you.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix A to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY IN A GUARANTEE PERIOD
Generally
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value in a Guarantee Period at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The amount available for withdrawal from a Guarantee Period is the portion of your Contract Value allocated to that Guarantee Period next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, and less any withdrawal charges, any other charges and any taxes that may apply.
You have the opportunity to name the investment option(s) from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is specified, we will deduct your withdrawal pro-rata from the investment options according to the value of your investments therein, including any Guarantee Periods.
IF YOU FAIL TO NAME THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS FROM WHICH A WITHDRAWAL SHOULD BE TAKEN AND YOU ARE INVESTED IN A GUARANTEE PERIOD AT THAT TIME, AMOUNTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE GUARANTEE PERIOD. SUCH DEDUCTION MAY BE SUBJECT TO A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time, including any amounts withdrawn from a Guarantee Period. If you request a total withdrawal, you must return your Contract to us.
Withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 5912, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.
We may delay payments from the Fixed Account for a Guarantee Period for up to 6 months or shorter period if required by law. If we delay payment for 10 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law. Any interest would be payable from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make the payment or transfer.
Preferred Withdrawal Amount
Each Contract Year, you may withdraw up to a certain percentage of aggregate purchase payments from your Contract without incurring a Market Value Adjustment or a withdrawal charge (the “Preferred Withdrawal Amount”). The Preferred Withdrawal Amount is:
AIM Lifetime Plus: 10%
AIM Lifetime Plus II, Custom Portfolio, SelectDirections: 15%
All withdrawals from a Guarantee Period during a Contract Year in excess of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount are subject to a Market Value Adjustment and may be subject to withdrawal charges. Unused portions of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount are not carried forward to future Contract Years.
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Withdrawals from all investment options count against the Preferred Withdrawal Amount, not just withdrawals from Guarantee Periods. To determine whether a withdrawal exceeds the Preferred Withdrawal Amount, all amounts you have withdrawn from the Variable Sub-Accounts, Guarantee Periods, and any other fixed interest investment options available under your Contract in a Contract Year are added together.
Systematic Withdrawal Program
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50.
Systematic withdrawals will reduce, and may even exhaust, the Contract Value. We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. We may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be affected.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TO TAKE SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS FROM THE GUARANTEE PERIODS. SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS MAY REPEATEDLY EXPOSE YOU TO THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS, INCLUDING POTENTIAL MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENTS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND INCOME TAXES AND TAX PENALTIES.
Minimum Contract Value
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce the amount in any Guarantee Period to less than $500, we will treat it as a request to withdraw the entire amount invested in such Guarantee Period. In addition, if your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value to less than $1,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value. Before terminating any Contract whose value has been reduced by withdrawals to less than $1,000, we would inform you in writing of our intention to terminate your Contract and give you at least 30 days in which to make an additional purchase payment to restore your Contract’s value to the contractual minimum of $1,000. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges, and applicable taxes. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value.
TRANSFERS TO AND FROM A GUARANTEE PERIOD
Transfers to a Guarantee Period
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value to a Guarantee Period. The minimum amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $500.
Transfers from a Guarantee Period (Except Dollar Cost Averaging)
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value from a Guarantee Period to any other investment options available under your Contract.
If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the amount by a Market Value Adjustment.
Under the Custom Portfolio and SelectDirections Contracts only, if any transfer reduces your value in a Guarantee Period to less than $500, we will treat it as a transfer of the entire value in such Guarantee Period.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program for Guarantee periods
Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, if available under your Contract, you may automatically transfer amounts at regular intervals from a specified Guarantee Period to any Variable Sub-Account. The interval between transfers may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
The following Dollar Cost Averaging Programs for the Guarantee Periods may be available to you:
AIM Lifetime Plus: Dollar Cost Averaging for amounts in a 1 year Guarantee Period.
8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

AIM Lifetime Plus II: Dollar Cost Averaging for interest credited from the 3, 5, 7, or 10 year Guarantee Periods
Custom Portfolio: Not available for Guarantee Periods.
SelectDirections: Not available for Guarantee Periods.
Automatic transfers as part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program are not subject to Market Value Adjustments and do not count against the number of free transfers per Contract Year. There is no charge for enrolling in a Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
You may not use dollar cost averaging to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However, participation in this program does not assure you of a greater profit from your purchases under the program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in a declining market.
A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO AUTOMATIC TRANSFERS OUT OF A GUARANTEE PERIOD AS PART OF A DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM, BUT WITHDRAWALS, NON-PROGRAM TRANSFERS, ANNUITIZATIONS, AND DEATH BENEFITS MAY OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
FEES AND EXPENSES RELATED TO THE GUARANTEE PERIODS
There are no charges that apply specifically to the Guarantee Periods. However, there are charges to which you may be subject when you invest or withdraw amounts in a Guarantee Period, including the following:
Withdrawal Charges. If you withdraw money from your Contract within seven years following the purchase payment being withdrawn, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 7% (as a percentage of purchase payments withdrawn in excess of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount), declining 1% annually eventually to 0% over that seven year time period. For example, if you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment.
We determine the withdrawal charge by;
multiplying the percentage corresponding to the number of complete years since we received the purchase payment being withdrawn by
the part of each purchase payment withdrawal that is in excess of the Preferred Withdrawal Amount, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment.
If you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower. We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you elect to receive income payments for a specified period of less than 120 months, as described further in the related prospectus for your variable annuity contract);
payment of the death benefit (unless the Settlement Value is used, as discussed under “Death Benefit” later in this prospectus);
withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; and
withdrawals made after all purchase payments have been withdrawn.
We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid. For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from earnings in the Contract. Thus, for tax purposes, earnings are considered to come out first, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Example of Withdrawal Charge (Assuming the 10% Preferred Withdrawal Amount Under AIM Lifetime Plus)
Assumptions:
Purchase Payments: $20,000 Beginning of Year 1
  $10,000 Beginning of Year 2
Withdrawal: $25,000 End of Contract Year 3
Preferred Withdrawal Amount: 10% of payments
Step 1. Calculate the Preferred Withdrawal Amount
Aggregate Purchase Payments = $20,000 + $10,000 = $30,000
Preferred Withdrawal Amount = 0.10 x $30,000 = $3,000
Step 2. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment* *Assume Market Value Adjustment = 0. Separate Market Value Adjustment calculations are provided in this prospectus
$0
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge applicable to Year 1 Purchase Payment
0.05 x ($20,000 - $3,000 + $0) = $850
Step 4. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge applicable to Year 2 Purchase Payment
0.06 x ($5,000 - 0 + $0) = $300
Step 5. Total Withdrawal Charge
= $850 + $300 = $1,150
Step 6. Calculate the amount received by the Contract Owner as a result of the withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3
= $25,000 - $1,150 = $23,850
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts.
Withdrawals may be subject to tax penalties or income tax and a Market Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.
We reserve the right to waive the withdrawal charge with respect to AIM Lifetime Plus Contracts issued to employees and registered representatives of any broker-dealer that has entered into a sales agreement with ALFS, Inc. (“ALFS”) to sell the Contracts and all wholesalers and their employees that are under agreement with ALFS to wholesale the Contract.
Premium Taxes. Currently, we do not make deductions for premium taxes under the Contract because New York does not charge premium taxes on annuities. We may deduct taxes that may be imposed in the future from purchase payments or the Contract Value when the tax is incurred or at a later time.
Please refer to your Contract specifications page for more information about the fees and expenses to which you are subject.

ANNUITIZING AMOUNTS IN THE GUARANTEE PERIODS
After the Payout Start Date, you will no longer be subject to potential Market Value Adjustments. Provided below is information about Market Value Adjustments that may apply on the Payout Start Date. For additional information about the Payout Phase, including Income Plans and Income Payments, please see your Contract and the related variable annuity prospectus for your Contract.
PAYOUT START DATE
On the Payout Start Date, any amounts in a Guarantee Period will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment unless the Payout Start Date occurs during the 30-day period after the Guarantee Period ends.
The Payout Start Date is the day that we apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be:
AIM Lifetime Plus and AIM Lifetime Plus II: no later than the Annuitant’s 90th birthday.
Custom Portfolio and Select Directions: no later than the Annuitant’s 90th birthday or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
If the amount available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000 or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may: (a) pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen; or (b) reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20. Under the AIM Lifetime Plus II Contract only, we may only take these actions if, in addition to the conditions described in this paragraph, the Contract Owner has not made any purchase payments for at least three years preceding the Payout Start Date.
APPLICATION OF FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD VALUE TO AN INCOME PLAN
You must apply Contract Value in the Fixed Account for Guarantee Periods on the Payout Start Date to fixed income payments.
If you wish to apply any portion of your Fixed Account balance for Guarantee Periods to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start Date.
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from the Fixed Account for Guarantee Periods for the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:
(1)
adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in the Fixed Account for Guarantee Periods on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;
(2)
deducting any applicable premium tax; and
(3)
applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are offering at that time.
We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or such shorter time as state law may require. If we defer payments for 10 business days or more, we will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make payment.

CALCULATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT
Provided below is information about Market Value Adjustments that may apply when calculating the death benefit. For additional information about the death benefit, including payment options that may be available to a surviving Contract Owner or a Beneficiary, please see your Contract and the related variable annuity prospectus for your Contract.
WHEN THE DEATH BENEFIT BECOMES PAYABLE
We will pay a death benefit if, prior to the Payout Start Date:
(1)
any Contract owner dies; or
(2)
the Annuitant dies, if the Contract owner is not a living person.
We will pay the death benefit to the new Contract owner who is determined immediately after the death. The new Contract owner would be a surviving Contract owner or, if none, the Beneficiary(ies). In the case of a Contract owned by a non-living owner, upon death of an Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit to the current Contract owner.
We will not settle any death claim until we receive Due Proof of Death. We will accept the following documentation as Due Proof of Death:
a certified copy of a death certificate; or
a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to a finding of death; or
any other proof acceptable to us.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT
Death Benefit Amount – AIM Lifetime Plus, Custom Portfolio, and SelectDirections
The death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
(1)
the Contract Value as of the date we determine the death benefit.
(2)
the Settlement Value (i.e., the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the death benefit.
(3)
the Contract Value on the Death Benefit Anniversary immediately preceding the date we determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by (1) any charges and (2):
in the case of AIM Lifetime Plus, the amount of any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary (calculated on a dollar-for-dollar basis).
in the case of Custom Portfolio and SelectDirections, the amount of any withdrawal adjustment (calculated on a proportionate basis as described below) since that Anniversary.
(4)
the greatest of the Anniversary Values as of the date we determine the death benefit. An “Anniversary Value” is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by:
in the case of AIM Lifetime Plus, the amount of any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary (calculated on a dollar-for-dollar basis).
in the case of Custom Portfolio and SelectDirections, the amount of any withdrawal adjustment (calculated on a proportionate basis as described below) since that Anniversary.
Anniversary Values will be calculated for each Contract Anniversary prior to the earlier of: (i) the date we determine the death benefit; or (ii) the deceased’s 75th birthday or 5 years after the Issue Date, if later.
We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the business day on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit, which includes Due Proof of Death. If we receive a request after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (3:00 p.m. Central Time) on a business day, we will process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
For Custom Portfolio and SelectDirections Contracts only, if we do not receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit within 180 days of the date of death, items (3) and (4) above will no longer be available and the death benefit will be the greater of items (1) or (2). We reserve the right to extend, on a non-discriminatory basis, the 180-day period in which items (3) and (4) are available.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Withdrawal Adjustment (Custom Portfolio and SelectDirections Only). The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where:
(a)
= the withdrawal amount,
(b)
= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and
(c)
= the value of the applicable death benefit alternative immediately prior to the withdrawal.
See Appendix B for an example of the withdrawal adjustment.
Application of Market Value Adjustment in Settlement Value. In calculating the Settlement Value, the amount in each individual Guarantee Period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts in a Guarantee Period, unless we calculate the Settlement Value during the 30-day period after the expiration of the Guarantee Period
ONLY IN THE CASE OF AIM LIFETIME PLUS CONTRACTS MAY THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT APPLIED TO SETTLMENT VALUE BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. FOR ALL OTHER CONTRACTS, THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT APPLIED TO SETTLMENT VALUE CAN BE POSITIVE OR ZERO, BUT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE.
The Settlement Value will reflect deduction of any applicable charges and premium taxes.
Death Benefit Amount – AIM Lifetime Plus II
The death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
(1)
the Contract Value as of the date we determine the death benefit.
(2)
the Settlement Value (i.e., the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the death benefit.
(3)
the sum of all purchase payments reduced by a withdrawal adjustment (calculated on a proportionate basis as described below).
(4)
the greatest of the Contract Value on each Death Benefit Anniversary prior to the date we determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by a withdrawal adjustment as described below.
(5)
If the optional Enhanced Death Benefit has been elected, the amount payable under the Enhanced Death Benefit.
We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the oldest Contract owner’s or the oldest Annuitant’s, if the Contract owner is not a living person, 85th birthday. After age 85, we will recalculate the Enhanced Death Benefit only for purchase payments and withdrawals. The Enhanced Death Benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any non-forfeiture laws which govern the Contract.
We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit, which includes Due Proof of Death. If we receive a request after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (3:00 p.m. Central Time) on a Valuation Date, we will process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
Withdrawal Adjustment. The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where:
(a)
= the withdrawal amount,
(b)
= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and
(c)
= the value of the applicable death benefit alternative immediately prior to the withdrawal.
See Appendix B for an example of the withdrawal adjustment.
Application of Market Value Adjustment in Settlement Value. In calculating the Settlement Value, the amount in each individual Guarantee Period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts in a Guarantee Period, unless we calculate the Settlement Value during the 30-day period after the expiration of the Guarantee Period.
THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT APPLIED TO SETTLEMENT VALUE CAN BE POSITIVE OR ZERO, BUT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TAX INFORMATION
The Guarantee Periods described in this prospectus are no longer available to new contract purchasers. The Guarantee Periods were only available through the purchase of certain variable annuity contracts, which are also no longer available to new purchasers. It is important to understand the tax implications of owning a variable annuity, as well as investing in a Guarantee Period subject to market value adjustments. The variable annuity contract prospectus you purchased also contains important tax information.
The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax advice. Each person concerned should consult a competent tax advisor. No attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other income tax laws, any state and local estate or inheritance tax, or other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under a Contract.
When you invest in an annuity contract, you usually do not pay taxes on your investment gains until you withdraw the money — generally for retirement purposes. If you invest in a variable annuity as part of an individual retirement plan, pension plan or employer-sponsored retirement program that is qualified for special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, your contract is called a Qualified Contract. If your annuity is independent of any formal retirement or pension plan, it is termed a Non-Qualified Contract. The tax rules applicable to Qualified Contracts vary according to the type of retirement plan and the terms and conditions of the plan.
Variable Annuities in General
Tax law imposes several requirements that variable annuities must satisfy in order to receive the tax treatment normally accorded to annuity contracts.
Diversification Requirements. The Internal Revenue Code (Code) requires that the investments of each investment division of the separate account underlying the Contracts be “adequately diversified” in order for the Contracts to be treated as annuity contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that each investment division, through the fund in which it invests, will satisfy these diversification requirements.
Owner Control. In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts have been considered for Federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their contracts due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is limited guidance in this area, and some features of our Contracts, such as the flexibility of an owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the investment divisions of the separate account, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the Contracts do not give Owners investment control over separate account assets, we reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent an Owner from being treated as the Owner of the separate account assets supporting the Contract.
Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income tax purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any Non-Qualified Contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the Contract will be distributed in the event of the death of an owner of the Contract. Specifically, section 72(s) requires that (a) if any owner dies on or after the annuity starting date, but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of such owner’s death; and (b) if any owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed within five years after the date of such owner’s death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of an owner’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary and which is distributed over the life of such designated beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of the owner’s death. The designated beneficiary refers to a natural person designated by the owner as a beneficiary and to whom ownership of the contract passes by reason of death. However, if the designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner.
The Non-Qualified Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. We intend to review such provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements when such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise.
Other rules apply to Qualified Contracts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts
Non-Natural Person. If a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation or a trust) owns a Non- Qualified Contract, the taxpayer generally must include in income any increase in the excess of the account value over the investment in the Contract (generally, the premiums or other consideration paid for the contract) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective owner that is not a natural person should discuss these with a tax adviser.
The following discussion generally applies to Contracts owned by natural persons.
Withdrawals. When a withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the account value immediately before the distribution over the Owner’s investment in the Contract (generally, the premiums or other consideration paid for the Contract, reduced by any amount previously distributed from the Contract that was not subject to tax) at that time. The account value immediately before a withdrawal may have to be increased by any positive Market Value Adjustments that result from a withdrawal. There is, however, no definitive guidance on the proper tax treatment of Market Value Adjustments, and you may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of a Market Value Adjustment with your tax adviser. In the case of a surrender under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the Owner’s investment in the Contract.
In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the “investment in the contract” to the individual’s total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. The “investment in the contract” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible Purchase Payments paid by or on behalf of any individual. In many cases, the “investment in the contract” under a Qualified Contract can be zero.
Penalty Tax on Certain Withdrawals. In the case of a distribution from a Non-Qualified Contract, there may be imposed a federal tax penalty equal to ten percent of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty on distributions:
made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 5912
made on or after the death of an Owner;
attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled; or
made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. Also, additional exceptions apply to distributions from a Qualified Contract. You should consult a tax adviser with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.
Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the payout option elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected stream of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary income.
Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds. Amounts may be distributed from a Contract because of your death or the death of the Annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the Contract, or (ii) if distributed under a payout option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments.
Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of a Contract. A transfer or assignment of ownership of a Contract, the designation of an annuitant other than the owner, the selection of certain maturity dates, or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. An owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment or exchange, should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.
Withholding. Annuity distributions are generally subject to withholding for the recipient’s federal income tax liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Multiple Contracts. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in such owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.
Taxation of Qualified Contracts
The tax rules applicable to Qualified Contracts vary according to the type of retirement plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. If you own a Qualified Contract, your rights under a Qualified Contract may be subject to the terms of the retirement plan itself, regardless of the terms of the Qualified Contract. Adverse tax consequences may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with the law.
In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the “investment in the contract” to the individual’s total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. The “investment in the contract” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible Purchase Payments paid by or on behalf of any individual. In many cases, the “investment in the contract” under a Qualified Contract can be zero.
In the case of a distribution from a Qualified Contract taken before you reach age 59 1/2, there may be imposed a federal tax penalty equal to ten percent of the amount treated as income. There are a number of exceptions. Consult a tax adviser.
Qualified Contracts have required minimum distribution rules that govern the timing and amount of distributions. You should refer to your retirements plan, adoption agreement, or consult a tax advisor for more information about these distribution rules. The SECURE Act and SECURE 2.0 Act were passed as part of the comprehensive government appropriations bills in 2019 and 2022, respectively (referred to collectively as the “SECURE Act”). The SECURE Act makes significant changes to laws affecting retirement plans, including the required minimum distribution rules. In particular,
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.
Consult your tax adviser if you think you may be affected by these changes.
Distributions from Qualified Contracts generally are subject to withholding for the Owner’s federal income tax liability. The withholding rate varies according to the type of distribution and the Owner’s tax status. The Owner will be provided the opportunity to elect not have tax withheld from distributions. However, “Eligible rollover distributions” from certain Qualified Contracts are subject to a mandatory federal Income tax withholding of 20% unless directly rolled over to an eligible retirement plan.
Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes
While no attempt is being made to discuss in detail the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary who survives the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor for more information.
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a generation-skipping (“GST”) tax when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
The federal estate tax, gift tax, and GST tax exemptions and maximum rates may be adjusted each year.
The potential application of these taxes underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.
Medicare Tax
Distributions from non-qualified annuity policies will be considered “investment income” for purposes of the Medicare tax on investment income. Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Please consult a tax advisor for more information.
Definition of Spouse under Federal Law
The Contract provides that upon your death, a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the Contract’s death benefit and any joint-life coverage under an optional living benefit. All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes.
Domestic partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.
Annuity purchases by nonresident aliens and foreign corporations
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, such purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Additional withholding may occur with respect to entity purchasers (including foreign corporations, partnerships, and trusts) that are not U.S. residents. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.
Foreign Tax Credits
We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain Funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under Federal tax law.
Possible Tax Law Changes
Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contract could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Contract.
We have the right to modify the contract in response to legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity contract owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any contact and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
Description of Business
WRNY is a New York domestic life insurance company licensed in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. As part of Wilton Re Group’s In Force Solutions business, the Company was formed in September 2006 through the acquisition by the Wilton Re Group of three New York domestic life insurance companies: North American Company for Life and Health Insurance of New York (“NANY”), Utica National Life Insurance Company (“Utica Life”), and The American Life Insurance Company of New York (“ALNY” and, together with NANY and Utica Life, the “Constituent Companies”) which companies were merged upon acquisition. ALNY was the surviving company and its name was changed to WRNY. On December 31, 2007, Keystone State Life Insurance Company was merged with and into WRNY. In the fourth quarter of 2021, ALICNY was acquired by WRAC and merged with and into WRNY.
Products
As of December 31, 2023, WRNY had approximately 242,164 policies and annuity contracts in force with $2.18 billion of total life and annuity net reserves. WRNY does not issue new business and the policies that remain in force include life, annuities, accident and health and disability income.
From time to time and subject to receipt of any required regulatory consents or approvals, the Company expects that it may participate – through reinsurance arrangements or otherwise – in the acquisition of additional blocks of business as part of and through Wilton Re Group’s In Force Solutions business. WRNY currently does not intend to write any new business and expects to run off its in force business.
Regulation
State Regulation
WRNY is subject to extensive state regulation, primarily, but not exclusively, from the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”). The methods, extent and substance of such regulation has its source in statutes that establish standards and requirements for conducting the business of insurance and that delegate regulatory authority to the NYDFS. These rules have a substantial effect on our business and relate to a wide variety of matters, including insurer insolvency and statutory surplus sufficiency, reserve adequacy, insurance company licensing and examination, policy forms, rate setting, the nature and amount of investments, claims practices, participation in guaranty funds, transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends, underwriting standards, statutory accounting, methods, trade practices, privacy regulation and data security, corporate governance and risk management. Further, the NYDFS cybersecurity regulation and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) Insurance Data Security Model Law, which has been adopted in some form by several states, establish standards for data security and for the investigation of and notification to insurance commissioners of cybersecurity events.
Insurance Holding Company Regulation
WRNY is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of WRAC, a holding company organized under the laws of Minnesota, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wilton Re US Holdings, Inc., a holding company organized under the laws of Delaware, with the ultimate controlling parent being WRL. WRL is the lead entity of the Wilton Re group
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of companies. As such, WRL is subject to the insurance holding company acts of each of the states of domicile of its insurance subsidiaries and affiliates. All states have enacted legislation that requires each insurance holding company and each insurance company in an insurance holding company system to register with the insurance regulatory authority of the insurance company’s state of domicile and to furnish annually financial and other information concerning the operations of companies within the holding company system that materially affect the operations, management or financial condition of the insurers within that system. Generally, under such laws, transactions within the insurance holding company system to which the Company’s operating insurance companies are a party must be fair and reasonable, and, if material or of a specified category, they require prior notice and approval or non-disapproval by the state of domicile of each insurance company that is party to the transaction. In addition, under such laws, a state insurance authority usually must approve in advance the direct or indirect acquisition of 10% or more of the voting securities of an insurance company domiciled in its state.
NAIC
The NAIC is an organization, the mandate of which is to benefit state insurance regulatory authorities and consumers by promulgating model insurance laws and regulations for adoption by the states. The NAIC also provides standardized insurance industry accounting and reporting guidance through the NAIC Accounting Manual. However, model insurance laws and regulations are only effective when adopted by the states, and statutory accounting and reporting principles continue to be established by individual state laws, regulations and permitted practices. Changes to the NAIC Accounting Manual or modifications by the various state insurance departments may affect the statutory capital and surplus of the Company.
Some of the NAIC pronouncements, particularly as they affect accounting issues, take effect automatically in the various states without affirmative action by the states. Statutes, regulations and interpretations may be applied with retroactive impact, particularly in areas such as accounting and reserve requirements. The NAIC continues to work to reform state regulation in various areas, including comprehensive reforms relating to certain reserving practices.
The Company is subject to the ORSA Model Act, which has been enacted by the domiciliary state and requires insurance companies to assess the adequacy of their and their group’s risk management and current and future solvency position. Under the ORSA Model Act, certain insurers must undertake an internal risk management review at least annually (and also at any time when there are significant changes to the risk profile of the insurer or its insurance group), in accordance with the NAIC’s ORSA Guidance Manual, and prepare an ORSA Report assessing the adequacy of the insurer’s risk management and capital in light of its current and future business plans. The ORSA Report is required to be filed with a company’s lead state regulator and made available to other domiciliary regulators within the holding company system.
The Company is subject to the Corporate Governance Model Act, a form of which has been enacted in New York and requires an insurer to provide an annual disclosure regarding its corporate governance practices to its lead state and/or domestic regulator. The Company is in compliance with the Corporate Governance Model Act as adopted by New York.
Federal Regulation
Although the insurance business in the United States is primarily regulated by the states, federal initiatives can affect the business of the Company in a variety of ways. From time to time, federal measures are proposed which may significantly affect the insurance business. These areas include financial services regulation, securities regulation, derivatives regulation, pension regulation, money laundering, privacy regulation, taxation and the economic and trade sanctions implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). OFAC maintains and enforces economic sanctions against certain foreign countries and groups and prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in certain transactions with certain persons or entities. OFAC has imposed civil penalties on persons, including insurance and reinsurance companies, arising from violations of its economic sanctions program. In addition, various forms of direct and indirect federal regulation of insurance have been proposed from time to time, including proposals for the establishment of an optional federal charter for insurance companies.
As part of an effort to strengthen the regulation of the financial services market, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) was enacted in 2010. Dodd-Frank created the Federal Insurance Office (“FIO”) within the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The FIO monitors the insurance industry, provides advice to the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”), represents the U.S. on international insurance matters, and studies the current regulatory system.

Legal Proceedings
See Note 10 of the financial statements of WRNY as of and for the three years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 included in this prospectus for information about legal proceedings.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” that anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. These statements are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “seeks,” “expects,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believes,” “likely,” “targets” and other words with similar meanings. These statements may address, among other things, our strategy for growth, product development, investment results, regulatory approvals, market position, expenses, financial results, litigation and reserves. We believe that these statements are based on reasonable estimates, assumptions and plans. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks or uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those communicated in these forward-looking statements.
Risk Factors
Risks are categorized by (1) insurance and financial services, (2) business, strategy and operations and (3) macro, regulatory and risk environment. Many risks may affect more than one category and are included where the impact is most significant. Consider these cautionary statements carefully together with other information discussed in this prospectus.
Insurance and financial services
Changes in reserve estimates could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition
WRNY uses long-term assumptions, including future investment yields, mortality, morbidity, persistency and expenses in pricing and valuation. If experience differs significantly from assumptions, adjustments to reserves may be required that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
WRNY may not be able to mitigate the capital impact associated with statutory reserving and capital requirements
Regulatory capital and reserving requirements affect the amount of capital required. Changes to capital or reserving requirements or regulatory interpretations may result in holding additional capital and could require us to increase prices, and/or accept a return on equity below original levels assumed in pricing.
A downgrade in financial strength ratings may have an adverse effect on our business
Financial strength ratings are important factors in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Rating agencies could downgrade or change the outlook on our ratings due to:
Changes in statutory capital
Changes in a rating agency’s determination of the amount of capital required to maintain a particular rating
Increases in the perceived risk of our investment portfolio, a reduced confidence in management or our business strategy, as well as a number of other considerations that may or may not be under our control
Changes in ownership resulting from divestiture of business
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A downgrade in our rating could have a material effect on retention, liquidity and results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in tax laws may adversely affect profitability of life insurance products
Changes in taxation of life insurance products could result in the surrender of some existing contracts and policies, which may have a material effect on our profitability and financial condition.
Our investment portfolio is subject to market risk and declines in quality which may adversely affect or create volatility in our investment income and cause realized and unrealized losses
We continually evaluate investment management strategies since we are subject to risk of loss due to adverse changes in interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, real estate values, currency exchange rates and liquidity. Adverse changes may occur due to changes in monetary and fiscal policy and the economic climate, liquidity of a market or market segment, investor return expectations or risk tolerance, insolvency or financial distress of key market makers or participants, or changes in market perceptions of credit worthiness. Adverse changes in market conditions could cause the value of our investments to decrease significantly and impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our investments are subject to risks associated with economic and capital market conditions and factors that may be unique to our portfolio, including:
General weakening of the economy, which is typically reflected through higher credit spreads and lower equity and real estate valuations
Declines in credit quality including issuer defaults
Declines in market interest rates, credit spreads or sustained low interest rates could lead to further declines in portfolio yields and investment income
Increases in market interest rates, credit spreads or a decrease in liquidity could have an adverse effect on the value of our fixed income securities that comprise a substantial majority of our investment portfolio
Poor performance of general partners and underlying investments unrelated to general market or economic conditions could lead to declines in investment income and cause realized losses in our limited partnership interests
Concentration in any particular issuer, industry, collateral type, group of related industries, geographic sector or risk type
The amount and timing of net investment income, capital contributions and distributions from our limited partnership interests, can fluctuate significantly due to the underlying investments’ performance or changes in market or economic conditions. Additionally, these investments are less liquid than similar, publicly-traded investments and a decline in market liquidity could impact our ability to sell them at their current carrying values.
Determination of the fair value and amount of credit losses for investments includes subjective judgments and could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition
The valuation of the portfolio is subjective, and the value of assets may differ from the actual amount received upon the sale of an asset. The degree of judgment required in determining fair values increases when:
Market observable information is less readily available
The use of different valuation assumptions may have a material effect on the assets’ fair values
Changing market conditions could materially affect the fair value of investments
The determination of the amount of credit losses varies by investment type and is based on ongoing evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class or investment.
Such evaluations and assessments are highly judgmental and are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available.
We update our evaluations regularly and reflect changes in credit losses in our results of operations. Our conclusions may ultimately prove to be incorrect as assumptions, facts and circumstances change. Historical loss trends,
21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

consideration of current conditions, and forecasts may not be indicative of future changes in credit losses and additional amounts may need to be recorded in the future.
Changes in market interest rates or performance-based investment returns may lead to a significant decrease in the profitability of our spread-based products
Spread-based products, such as fixed annuities, are dependent upon maintaining profitable spreads between investment returns and interest crediting rates. When market interest rates decrease or remain at low levels, investment income may decline. Lowering interest crediting rates on some products in such an environment can partially offset decreases in investment yield. However, these changes could be limited by regulatory minimum rates or contractual minimum rate guarantees on many contracts and may not match the timing or magnitude of changes in investment yields.
Increases in market interest rates can lead to increased surrenders at a time when fixed income investment asset values are lower due to the increase in interest rates. Liquidating investments to fund surrenders could result in a loss that would adversely impact results of operations.
Failure to appropriately match asset and liability durations could lead to an inability to maintain profitable spreads between investment returns and interest crediting rates.
Net investment income, capital contributions and distributions from limited partnership investments can fluctuate significantly due to the underlying investments’ performance or changes in market or economic conditions.
Business, strategy and operations
Reinsurance subjects us to counterparty risk and may not be adequate to protect us against losses arising from ceded insurance
Collecting from reinsurers is subject to uncertainty arising from whether reinsurers or their affiliates have the financial capacity and willingness to make payments under the terms of a reinsurance treaty or contract. Our inability to recover from a reinsurer could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Divestitures of businesses may not produce anticipated benefits
We may divest portions of our businesses either through a sale or financial arrangements. These transactions may result in continued financial involvement in the divested businesses, such as through reinsurance, guarantees or other financial arrangements, following the transaction. If the acquiring companies do not perform under the arrangements, our financial results could be negatively impacted.
Macro, regulatory and risk environment
Conditions in the global economy and capital markets could adversely affect our business and results of operations
Global economic and capital market conditions could adversely impact returns on our investment portfolio and results of operations. The conditions that would have the largest impact on our business include:
Low or negative economic growth
Sustained low interest rates
Rising inflation resulting in sharply higher interest rates
Substantial increases in delinquencies or defaults on debt
Significant downturns in the market value or liquidity of our investment portfolio
Stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in global capital markets or financial asset classes could adversely affect our investment portfolio.
Adverse capital and credit market conditions may significantly affect our ability to meet liquidity needs or obtain credit on acceptable terms
In periods of extreme volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets, liquidity and credit capacity may be severely restricted. Our access to additional financing depends on a variety of factors such as market conditions, the
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to our industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as lenders’ perception of our long- or short-term financial prospects. In such circumstances, our ability to obtain capital to fund operating expenses may be limited, and the cost of any such capital may be significant.
A large-scale pandemic, the occurrence of terrorism, military actions, social unrest or other actions may have an adverse effect on our business
A large-scale pandemic, such as the Coronavirus and its impacts, the occurrence of terrorism, military actions, social unrest or other actions, may result in loss of life, property damage, and disruptions to commerce and reduced economic activity. Some of the assets in our investment portfolio may be adversely affected by declines in the equity markets, changes in interest rates, reduced liquidity and economic activity caused by a large-scale pandemic. Additionally, a large-scale pandemic or terrorist act could have a material effect on liquidity and operating results.
The failure in cyber or other information security controls, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated in our disaster recovery processes and business continuity planning, could result in a loss or disclosure of confidential information, damage to our reputation, additional costs and impair our ability to conduct business effectively
We depend heavily on computer systems, mathematical algorithms and data to perform necessary business functions. There are threats that could impact our ability to protect our data and systems; if the threats are successful, they could impact confidentiality, integrity and availability:
Confidentiality - protecting our data from disclosure to unauthorized parties
Integrity - ensuring data is not changed accidentally or without authorization and is accurate
Availability - ensuring our data and systems are accessible to meet our business needs
We collect, use, store or transmit a large amount of confidential, proprietary and other information (including personal information of customers or employees) in connection with the operation of our business. Systems are subject to increased attempted cyberattacks and unauthorized access, such as physical and electronic break-ins or unauthorized tampering.
We constantly defend against threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, unauthorized access, system failures and disruptions. Events like these could jeopardize the information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations, which could result in damage to our reputation, financial losses, litigation, increased costs, regulatory penalties or customer dissatisfaction.
These risks may increase in the future as threats become more sophisticated and we continue to expand internet and mobile strategies, develop additional remote connectivity solutions to serve our employees and customers and build and maintain an integrated digital enterprise. Our increased use of third-party services (e.g., cloud technology and software as a service) can make it more difficult to identify and respond to cyberattacks in any of the above situations. Although we may review and assess third-party vendor cybersecurity controls, our efforts may not be successful in preventing or mitigating the effects of such events. Third parties to whom we outsource certain functions are also subject to cybersecurity risks.
Personal information is subject to an increasing number of federal, state, local and international laws and regulations regarding privacy and data security, as well as contractual commitments. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with such obligations may result in governmental enforcement actions and fines, litigation or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our employees and customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.
The occurrence of a disaster, such as a natural catastrophe, pandemic, industrial accident, blackout, terrorist attack, war, cyberattack, computer virus, insider threat, unanticipated problems with our disaster recovery processes, or a support failure from external providers, could have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business and on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly if those events affect our computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data. If a significant number of employees were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our ability to effectively conduct business could be severely compromised. Our systems are also subject to compromise from internal threats.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are subject to extensive regulation, and potential further restrictive regulation may increase operating costs and limit growth
We operate in the highly regulated insurance sector and are subject to extensive laws and regulations that are complex and subject to change. Changes may lead to additional expenses, increased legal exposure, or increased reserve or capital requirements limiting our ability to grow or to achieve targeted profitability. Moreover, laws and regulations are administered and enforced by governmental authorities that exercise interpretive latitude, including state insurance regulators; state securities administrators; state attorneys general as well as federal agencies including the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor, and the U.S. Department of Justice. Consequently, compliance with one regulator’s or enforcement authority’s interpretation of a legal issue may not result in compliance with another’s interpretation of the same issue.
In addition, there is risk that one regulator’s or enforcement authority’s interpretation of a legal issue may change to our detriment. There is also a risk that changes in the overall legal environment may cause us to change our views regarding the actions we need to take from a legal risk management perspective. This could necessitate changes to our practices that may adversely impact our business. In some cases, state insurance laws and regulations are generally intended to protect or benefit purchasers or users of insurance products. These laws and regulations may limit our ability to grow or to improve the profitability of our business.
Regulatory reforms, and the more stringent application of existing regulations, may make it more expensive for us to conduct our business
The federal government has enacted comprehensive regulatory reforms for financial services entities. As part of a larger effort to strengthen the regulation of the financial services market, certain reforms are applicable to the insurance industry.
The Federal Insurance Office and Financial Stability Oversight Council have been established and the federal government may enact reforms that affect the state insurance regulatory framework. The potential impact of state or federal measures that change the nature or scope of insurance and financial regulation is uncertain but may make it more expensive for us to conduct business and limit our ability to grow or achieve profitability.
Losses from legal and regulatory actions may be material to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions, some of which involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts. We are also involved in various regulatory actions and inquiries, including market conduct exams by state insurance regulatory agencies. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters, the ultimate liability may be more than amounts currently accrued, and may be material to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Changes in or the application of accounting standards issued by standard-setting bodies and changes in tax laws may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition
Our financial statements are subject to the application of accounting principles that are periodically revised, interpreted and/or expanded. Accordingly, we may be required to adopt new guidance or interpretations, which may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition and could adversely impact financial strength ratings.
Pending changes to accounting for long-duration insurance contracts such as traditional life, life-contingent immediate annuities and certain voluntary accident and health insurance products will have a material effect on reserves and could adversely impact financial strength ratings
Realization of our deferred tax assets assumes that we can fully utilize the deductions recognized for tax purposes; we may recognize additional tax expense if these assets are not fully utilized
New tax legislative initiatives may be enacted that may impact our effective tax rate and could adversely affect our tax positions or tax liabilities

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Loss of key vendor relationships or failure of a vendor to protect our data, confidential and proprietary information, or personal information of our customers or employees could adversely affect our operations
We rely on services and products provided by many vendors in the U.S. and abroad. These include, vendors of computer hardware, software, cloud technology and software as a service, as well as vendors and/or outsourcing of services such as:
Call center services
Human resource benefits management
Information technology support
Investment management services
If any vendor becomes unable to continue to provide products or services, or fails to protect our confidential, proprietary, and other information, we may suffer operational impairments and financial losses.
Our ability to attract, develop, and retain talent to maintain appropriate staffing levels, and establish a successful work culture is critical to our success
Competition from within the insurance industry and from other industries, including the technology sector, for qualified employees with highly specialized knowledge in areas such as underwriting, data and analytics, technology and e-commerce has often been intense and we have experienced increased competition in hiring and retaining employees.
Factors that affect our ability to attract and retain such employees include:
Compensation and benefits
Training and re-skilling programs
Reputation as a successful business with a culture of fair hiring, and of training and promoting qualified employees
Recognition of and response to changing trends and other circumstances that affect employees
The unexpected loss of key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our business because of the loss of their skills, knowledge of our products and offerings and years of industry experience and, in some cases, the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.
Misconduct or fraudulent acts by employees, agents and third parties may expose us to financial loss, disruption of business, regulatory assessments and reputational harm
The company and the insurance industry are inherently susceptible to past and future misconduct or fraudulent activities by employees, representative agents, vendors, customers and other third parties. These activities could include:
Fraud against the company, its employees and its customers through illegal or prohibited activities
Unauthorized acts or representations, unauthorized use or disclosure of personal or proprietary information, deception, and misappropriation of funds or other benefits

You should read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their accuracy. You should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic statement or a confirmation. We will investigate all complaints and make any necessary adjustments retroactively, but you must notify us of a potential error within a reasonable time after the date of the questioned statement. If you wait too long, we will make the adjustment as of the date that we receive notice of the potential error.
Correspondence sent by regular mail to our Annuity Service Center should be sent to the address shown above. Your correspondence will be picked up at this address and then delivered to our Annuity Service Center. Your correspondence is not considered received by us until it is received at our Annuity Service Center. Where this prospectus refers to the day when we receive a purchase payment, request, election, notice, transfer or any other transaction request from you, we mean the day on which that item (or the last requirement needed for us to process that item) arrives in complete and proper form at our Annuity Service Center or via the appropriate telephone or fax number if the item is a type we accept by those means. There are two main exceptions: if the item arrives at our Annuity Service Center (1) on a day that is not a business day, or (2) after the close of a business day, then, in each case, we are deemed to have received that item on the next business day.
We will also provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Receipt and Processing of Requests
If we receive your purchase payment or transaction request in good order before the close of business on any business day, we will treat your purchase payment or request as being received on that business day. If we receive your purchase payment or request in good order on or after the close of a business day, we will deem your purchase payment or request as being received on the next business day.
We credit additional purchase payments to the Contract at the close of business on the business day on which we deem them to be received. We normally process withdrawal and transfer requests as of the date that we deem them to be received. However, the Contract permits us to defer payments and transfers from the Fixed Account for Guarantee Periods for up to 6 months or shorter period if required by law. If we delay payment or transfer for 10 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
Transfer Requests by Telephone. You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-692-4682, if you first send us a completed authorization form. We will not accept telephone requests received at any telephone number other than the number that appears in this paragraph. We will deem telephone requests received on or after the close of a business day as being received on the next business day. We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may be liable for such losses.
Written Requests and Forms in Good Order
Written requests must include sufficient information and/or documentation, and be sufficiently clear, to enable us to complete your request without the need to exercise discretion on our part to carry it out. You may contact our Service Center to learn what information we may require for your particular request to be in “good order.” Additionally, we may require that you submit your request on our form. We reserve the right to determine whether any particular request is in good order, and to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.

Appendix A: Market Value Adjustment Examples
Market Value Adjustment Formula
The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
I =
the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the applicable Guarantee Period for the week preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.
N =
the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date, to the end of the Guarantee Period.
J =
the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income payment request. If a note for a maturity of length N is not available, a weighted average will be used.
In the case of AIM Lifetime Plus and AIM Lifetime Plus II, if N is one year or less, J will be the 1-year Treasury Rate.
“Treasury Rate” means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 X (I - J) X N
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value Adjustment factor by the amount transferred (in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount) paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan, from a Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30-day period after such Guarantee Period expires.
Examples of Market Value Adjustment (Assuming the 10% Preferred Withdrawal Amount Under AIM Lifetime Plus)
Assumptions:
Purchase Payment: $10,000
Guarantee Period: 5 years
Treasury Rate (at the time the Guarantee Period was established): 4.50%
Assumed Net Annual Earnings Rate in Money Market Variable Sub-Account: 4.50%
Full Surrender: End of Contract Year 3
Preferred Withdrawal Amount: 10%
NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.

Example 1 (Assume Declining Interest Rates):
Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
$10,000.00 X (1.045)/3/ = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Preferred Withdrawal Amount:

Market Value Adjustment = Market Value Adjustment Factor X Amount Subject to Market Value Adjustment:
= .0054 X ($11,411.66 - $1,000.00) = $56.22
Step 4. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
.05 X ($10,000.00 - $1,000.00 + $56.22) = $452.81
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract owner as a result of full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
$11,411.66 - $452.81 + $56.22 = $11,015.07
Example 2: (Assumes Rising Interest Rates)
Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York:
Opinions
We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York (the “Company”), which comprise the statutory-basis balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements (collectively referred to as the “statutory-basis financial statements”).
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services described in Note 1.
Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report, the statutory-basis financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America
As described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the New York State Department of Financial Services. The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory-basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.
Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory-basis financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the statutory-basis financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory-basis financial statements are available to be issued.
C-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory-basis financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York (the Company or WRNY) is a stock life insurance company organized in 1955 under the laws of the State of New York. The Company is licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, although, historically, its marketing efforts were concentrated in the State of New York. The Company has no employees and writes no new primary insurance policies. Existing inforce product lines include traditional, interest-sensitive, and variable life insurance, voluntary accident and health insurance products, and deferred fixed, immediate fixed and variable annuities.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilton Reassurance Company (WRAC) which, in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilton Re U.S. Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Wilton Re U.S.). All but a de minimis portion of the economic interests and 100% of the voting interests of Wilton Re U.S. are held or controlled by Wilton Re U.S. Holdings Trust, an Ontario trust (the Wilton Re Trust). In turn, all economic interests associated with the Wilton Re Trust accrue to Wilton Re Ltd. (WRL), a non-insurance holding company registered in Nova Scotia, Canada. WRL is deemed the ultimate parent corporation in the Company’s holding company system.
The Company is party to a services agreement (the Services Agreement) with its affiliate, Wilton Re Services, Inc. (Wilton Re Services), pursuant to which Wilton Re Services provides certain accounting, actuarial and administrative services.
Acquisition and Merger
On March 29, 2021, WRAC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Allstate Life Insurance Company (ALIC), Allstate Insurance Company (AIC), Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation (AFIHC), and Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC (AIH) to acquire the Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (ALICNY), a wholly owned subsidiary of ALIC domiciled in New York, and Intramerica Life Insurance Company (Intramerica), a wholly owned subsidiary of AFIHC domiciled in New York (the Acquisition).
In September 2021, ALICNY’s Board of Directors authorized up to 175,000 of new shares of common capital stock. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of ALICNY, ALICNY issued 87,936 of the newly issued shares to AIH in exchange for $660,000 in cash.
As of September 30, 2021, necessary state regulatory approvals were received and on October 1, 2021, the Acquisition closed and WRAC became the parent of ALICNY and Intramerica.
Immediately following the Acquisition and prior to the Merger described below, ALICNY restated its gross paid-in and contributed surplus and unassigned funds (surplus) by $585,153 under a quasi-reorganization (National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations).
After receiving all regulatory approvals, effective November 1, 2021, ALICNY and Intramerica merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company to the merger (the Merger).
In accordance with the Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 68, Combinations and Goodwill, the Merger was accounted for as a statutory merger. No shares of stock were issued in the transaction. Outstanding shares of ALICNY and Intramerica stock were retired. No adjustments were made directly to the surplus of the Company as a result of the Merger.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported total assets or liabilities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
The Company is subject to the risk that interest rates will change and cause changes in investment prepayments and decreases in the value of its investments. Policyholder persistency is also affected by changes in interest rates. To the extent that fluctuations in interest rates cause the cash flows and duration of assets and liabilities to differ from product pricing assumptions, the Company may have to sell assets prior to their maturity and realize a loss.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (the Department), which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of publications of the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed.
The Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of New York for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the New York Insurance Law. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of New York.
The Department’s Insurance Regulation 172 requires the Company to record a write-in asset related to the gross premiums for reinsurance paid beyond the paid-to date of the underlying policy at the balance sheet date. These amounts would be refunded to the Company by the reinsurer in the event of policy termination.
In 2021, the Department granted the Company a one-year waiver in performing Principals Based Reserving according to Insurance Regulation 213 with interest, mortality and other assumptions applied in compliance with statutory regulations, for the following policies:
Certain guaranteed term policies issued on or after May 13, 2019, and all guaranteed term policies issued on or after October 1, 2019
Certain universal life and whole life policies issued on or after October 1, 2019
All remaining life policies issued on or after January 1, 2020
A reconciliation of the Company’s net income and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the State of New York is shown below:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department differ in certain respects from GAAP. The differences are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material. Important accounting practices prescribed by the Department and the more significant variances from GAAP are:
Investments
Investments in bonds and preferred stock are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating. For GAAP, fixed maturity investments which are classified as trading are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in operations. Fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, less applicable deferred income taxes reported in other comprehensive income (OCI). Fair value for statutory purposes, as with GAAP, is based on quoted market prices while the fair value of private placements and credit tenant loans is obtained from independent third-party dealers.
For statutory purposes, all securities that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g. mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities), are adjusted using the retrospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. For loan-backed or structured securities if it is determined that an other-than-temporary credit impairment has occurred, the amortized cost basis of the security is written down to the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate inherent in the security. For all other investments in bonds and stock, the retrospective method is used. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary or the Company has the intent to sell, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value. For GAAP, for investments classified as trading, no other-than-temporary impairments are recognized as all securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reported as unrealized gains and losses in operations. For investments classified as available-for-sale, all securities with a fair value below amortized cost are evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value has resulted from a credit loss. If a credit loss exists, the Company measures the impairment amount as the difference between the present value of expected cash flows and the amortized cost and is limited to the amount by which amortized cost exceeds fair value. The measured impairment amount is recognized as an allowance for credit losses and is reclassified from OCI to unrealized gains and losses in operations. However, if the Company intends to sell a security for which fair value is below amortized cost or it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell that security before recovery of its amortized cost, any previously recognized allowance for credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the security's fair value with any incremental impairment reported in realized gains and losses in operations.
Valuation Reserves
Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to expected maturity of the individual securities sold. That net deferral is recorded by the Company as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the statements of operations on a pretax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold. Furthermore, under GAAP, to the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting payout annuity contracts would result in a premium deficiency if those gains were realized, a related increase in insurance reserves for future policy benefits is recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of net unrealized gains.
The asset valuation reserve (AVR) provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.
Value of Business Acquired (VOBA)
The excess statutory reserve assumed over the fair value of assets transferred in connection with the acquisition of blocks of business via reinsurance transactions is expensed. For GAAP, an intangible asset referred to as VOBA is established representing the contractual right to receive future profits from the acquired insurance policies or reinsurance contracts. The Company amortizes VOBA in proportion to premiums for traditional life products and in proportion to estimated gross profits (EGPs) for interest sensitive life products. The EGPs and related amortization of VOBA for interest sensitive life products are updated (unlocked) periodically to reflect revised assumptions for lapses, mortality and investment earnings. The Company performs periodic tests to establish that VOBA associated with traditional life products remains recoverable, and if financial performance significantly deteriorates to the point where VOBA is not recoverable, a cumulative charge to current operations will be recorded.
C-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Nonadmitted Assets
Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, principally past-due agents’ balances, deferred taxes, goodwill, other intangible assets and other assets not specifically identified as admitted assets within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP), are excluded from the statutory-basis balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheets to the extent these assets are not impaired.
Separate Accounts
Insurance activities of the Company’s separate accounts such as underwriting and contract administration, premium collection and payment of premium taxes, claims and benefits are accounted for as transactions of the general account. Under GAAP, separate accounts that meet the requirements for separate account presentation are presented as a single line item on the balance sheet and statement of operations of the general account. Those that do not meet the separate account definition are accounted for along with similar line items of the balance sheet and statement of operations of the general account.
Universal Life and Annuity Policies
Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality risk consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves and other withdrawal type benefits. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality risk are recorded using deposit accounting, and credited directly to an appropriate policy reserve account without recognizing premium income. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.
Life and Annuity Reserves
Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutorily required interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances, as would be required under GAAP.
Reinsurance
A liability for reinsurance balances has been provided for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.
Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets, as would be required under GAAP.
Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs, as would be required under GAAP.
Funds Held
Funds held represents amounts contractually withheld by ceding companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements. For agreements written on a funds held basis, assets equal to the net statutory reserves are withheld and legally owned by the ceding company. Net investment income includes the interest income earned on these assets and funds held interest ceded includes the portion due the assuming company at rates defined by the treaty terms.
Under GAAP, the Company accounts for the embedded derivatives in funds withheld contracts as total return swaps. Accordingly, the value of the derivative is equal to the gain or loss on the funds held portfolio associated with each agreement. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are reflected in the statements of operations. The embedded derivatives are not recognized on a statutory basis.
Deferred Income Taxes
The recoverability of deferred tax assets is evaluated and when considered necessary, a statutory valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized. Adjusted gross deferred tax assets are admitted in an amount equal to the sum of: (a) federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carry-backs for existing temporary differences not to exceed three years from the
C-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

balance sheet date; (b) the lesser of: (i.) the remaining gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in a timeframe consistent with NAIC standards; or (ii.) a percentage of surplus consistent with NAIC standards, excluding any net deferred tax assets, electronic data processing (EDP) equipment and operating software; and (c) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities. The remaining deferred tax assets are nonadmitted.
Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred taxes. A deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not realizable. For statutory, the change in deferred taxes is reported in surplus, while under GAAP, the change is reported in the income statement.
Initial Accounting for Closed Block Reinsurance Transactions
For statutory reporting, initial balances are recorded with offsets to the statutory-basis statements of operations, and any considerations received (paid) are recorded as life and annuity premiums. Under GAAP, initial balances are recorded with no offset to the statements of operations.
Statements of Cash Flows
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments in the statements of cash flows represent cash balances and investments with maturities at acquisition of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with maturities at acquisition of three months or less.
Other significant accounting practices are as follows:
Investments
Bonds, common stock, preferred stock, and short-term investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:
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.
The Company has surplus debentures, which are classified as other invested assets on the statutory-basis balance sheets. Surplus debentures are similar to corporate securities, but are subordinated obligations of insurance companies and may be subject to restrictions by the insurance commissioners. Surplus debentures rated by an NAIC credit rating provider (CRP) with a designation equivalent of NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 are reported at amortized cost. All others are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at their aggregate unpaid balances, excluding accrued interest.
C-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company has minor ownership investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships which are classified as other invested assets on the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets. The Company values these interests based on its proportionate share of the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee or, if audited GAAP basis financial statements are not available for the investee, may be recorded based on the underlying audited U.S tax basis equity, in accordance with SSAP No. 48—Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies. The investment is recorded at cost, plus subsequent capital contributions, and adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s audited GAAP basis earnings or losses and other equity adjustments, less distributions received. Distributions are recognized in net investment income to the extent they are not in excess of the undistributed accumulated earnings attributed to the investee. Distributions in excess of the undistributed accumulated earnings reduce the Company’s basis in the investment.
Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned using the contractually agreed upon interest rates.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method.
Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus, net of taxes.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments include index option contracts. When derivatives meet specific criteria, they may be designated as accounting hedges, which means they may be accounted for and reported on in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges are accounted for on a fair value basis, with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized capital gains or losses in unassigned surplus.
The determination of the AVR and IMR impact of realized capital gains and losses on derivatives is based on how the realized capital gains and losses of the underlying asset is reported. Derivatives are classified as other invested assets or other liabilities on the statutory-basis balance sheets. The Company’s accounting policy for the various types of derivative instruments is discussed further in Note 3.
Premiums and Related Costs
Life and accident and health premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, also are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting. Premiums for all single and flexible premium life insurance and annuity products are recognized as revenue when collected. Commissions and other costs applicable to the acquisition of policies are charged to operations as incurred.
Benefits
Life, annuity and accident and health disability benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that are intended to provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum amounts required by the Department. Where the Company employs mean reserving, the Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of life and annuity policy holders. The Company returns any unearned premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves.
The liability for future policy benefits provides amounts adequate to discharge estimated future obligations on policies in force. Reserves for life policies are computed principally by the Net Level Reserve Method and the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method using interest rates (ranging from 2.25% to 6.00%) and mortality assumptions (Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary mortality tables, 1941, 1958, 1980, 2001, and 2017) as prescribed by regulatory authorities.
The Company typically uses interpolated terminal reserves to adjust the calculated terminal reserve to the appropriate reserve. Interpolated terminal reserves are determined by interpolating between the appropriate terminal reserves and adding the fractional portion of the valuation net premium from the valuation date to the policyholder’s next premium due date. The Company may also use mean reserving if the valuation has not been transferred from the acquired company’s valuation. When this method is used, reserves are calculated by assuming premiums are collected annually. To the extent that premiums are collected more frequently, a deferred premium asset is recorded.
C-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company charges extra premiums for substandard lives, either as a table rating or as a flat extra premium. For substandard table ratings, both premiums and valuation mortality rates are increased by a fixed percentage that ranges between 125% and 500% of standard mortality rates. For flat extra premiums, reserves are increased by the unearned portion of the annual flat extra premium received.
The Company establishes additional reserves when the results of the annual asset adequacy analysis indicate the need for such reserves. The Company had net asset adequacy reserves of $104,000 and $137,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in these reserves, included in the accompanying statutory-basis statements of operations, was a decrease of $33,000, an increase of $10,000, and a decrease of $148,550 for 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, which was recorded in increase (decrease) in life, annuity and accident & health reserves.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, reserves of $58,541 and $51,503, respectively, were recorded on in-force amounts of $2,597,908 and $2,119,838, respectively, for which gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation required by the Department. The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation.
Tabular interest has been determined by formula as described in the Annual Statement Instructions, adjusted to reflect fractional years of interest for material reinsurance transactions. The Tabular Less Actual Reserve Released calculation and the Tabular Cost have been determined by formula as described in the Annual Statement Instructions. The liabilities related to guaranteed investment contracts and policyholder funds left on deposit with the Company generally are equal to fund balance less applicable surrender charges.
Claim Reserves
Policy and contract claims are amounts due on claims, which were incurred as of December 31, but have not yet been paid. The accrual has two components: 1) claims in process of settlement as of December 31; 2) claims not yet reported but estimable based on historical trend review of the claims reported after December 31 relating to claims incurred as of December 31.
Claims in the contestable period are reported at their full-face value.
Federal Income Taxes
Federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based on amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws, subject to certain limitations and are recorded in surplus.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Management regularly reviews (at least quarterly) the value of the Company’s investments. If the value of any investment falls below its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other-than-temporary decline in value. To make this determination for each security, the following is considered:
The length of time and extent to which the fair value has been below its cost;
The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential;
Management’s intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its value;
Valuation guidelines expressed in the applicable Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles;
Any downgrades of the security by a rating agency; and
Any reduction or elimination of dividends, or nonpayment of scheduled interest payments.
Based on that analysis, management makes a judgment as to whether the loss is other-than-temporary. If the loss is other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded within net realized capital gains (losses) in the statutory-basis statements of operations in the period the determination is made.
The Company recognized other-than-temporary impairments for the years ended December 31 as follows:

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments utilized by the Company during 2023 and 2022 included index option contracts. The Company uses derivatives for risk reduction. Risk reduction activity is focused on managing the risks with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impacts from changes in risk-free interest rates, changes in equity market valuations, and foreign currency fluctuations. All of the Company’s derivatives are evaluated for their ongoing effectiveness as either accounting hedge or non-accounting hedge derivative financial instrument on at least a quarterly basis. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes.
The following tables summarize the notional amount, fair value and statement value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, including those with off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31:

The notional amounts specified in the contracts are used to calculate the exchange of contractual payments under the agreements and are generally not representative of the potential gain or loss on these agreements.
Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk exists for all of the derivative financial instruments the Company currently holds, as these instruments may become less valuable due to adverse changes in market conditions. To limit this risk, the Company’s senior management has established risk control limits. In addition, changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments that the Company uses for risk management purposes are generally offset by the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged risk component of the related assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.
Counterparty credit exposure represents the Company’s potential loss if all of the counterparties concurrently fail to perform under the contractual terms of the contracts and all collateral, if any, becomes worthless. This exposure is measured by the statement value of over-the-counter derivative contracts with a positive statement value at the reporting date.
The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by utilizing highly rated counterparties, establishing risk control limits, executing legally enforceable master netting agreements and obtaining collateral where appropriate. The

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company has not incurred any losses on derivative financial instruments due to counterparty nonperformance. Other derivatives, including futures and certain option contracts, are traded on organized exchanges, which require margin deposits and guarantee the execution of trades, thereby mitigating any potential credit risk.
Options
Index option contracts provide returns at specified or optional dates based on a specified equity index applied to the option’s notional amount. When the Company purchases and writes (sells) option contracts at specific prices, a premium is calculated for the right, but not the obligation, to buy/sell the value of an underlying index at a stated price on or before the expiration date of the option. The amount of premium calculated is based on the number of contracts purchased/sold, the specified price and the maturity date of the contract. Premiums are paid or received in cash at either the inception of the purchase/sale of the contract or throughout the life of the contract depending on the agreement with the counterparties and brokers. If the option is exercised, the Company receives/pays cash equal to the product of the number of contracts and the specified price in the contract (strike price). Purchased and written put and call index option contracts are cash settled upon exercise. If the options are not exercised, then no additional cash is exchanged when the contract expires. Premiums incurred when purchasing option contracts are reported as a derivative asset and premiums received when writing option contracts are reported as a derivative liability. Purchased and written option contracts are used for replication purposes.
The Company purchases and writes option contracts to hedge the equity exposure contained in equity indexed life product contracts that offer equity returns to contractholders. The purchased and written option contracts are accounted for as fair value hedges. The change in the fair value of purchased/written option contracts is reported as net investment income, with an adjustment to derivative assets/liabilities. The gain or loss on the cash settled exercise of a purchased/written index option contract is reported in net investment income. If the purchased/written option contract expires without being exercised, the premiums paid/received are reported in net investment income and the corresponding asset/liability previously recorded is reversed. The Company entered into option contracts which required the payment/receipt of premiums at either the inception of the contract or throughout the life of the contract, depending on the agreement with counterparties and brokers.
In general, the collateral pledged by the Company is in the custody of a counterparty or an exchange. However, the Company has access to this collateral at any time, subject to replacement. For certain exchange traded derivatives, margin deposits are required as well as daily cash settlements of margin accounts. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not pledge any securities in the form of margin deposits.
The Company pledges or obtains collateral for over-the-counter derivative transactions when certain predetermined exposure limits are exceeded. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, counterparties didn’t pledge any cash collateral to the Company, and the Company didn’t pledge any cash to counterparties.

FAIR VALUES
The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of financial assets and liabilities reflect market-participant assumptions and prioritize observable market inputs over unobservable inputs. The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company also determines certain fair values based on future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. Fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and, where appropriate, risk margins.
The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three level hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
C-24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:
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.
The Company has a limited number of assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value in the statutory-basis balance sheets.
The Company owns a limited number of corporate bonds, preferred stock, and hybrid securities that are in or near default and, as such, are rated 6 by the NAIC. These securities are required to be reported at the lower of fair value or amortized cost. The fair value of these publicly-traded securities are based on quoted market prices from widely used pricing sources such as ICE Data Services\Interactive Data Corp (IDC) or Refinitiv (formerly known as Reuters\EJV), and also may be obtained from independent third-party dealers. These securities would fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of financial instruments in the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements and notes thereto:
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Derivatives
Free-standing exchange listed derivatives that are not actively traded are valued based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are active. Over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts, are valued using models that rely on inputs such as interest rate yield curves, implied volatilities, currency rates and credit spreads that are observable for substantially the full term of the contract.
Investment Securities
Fair values for investment securities are based on market prices, or in the absence of published unit prices, or when amortized cost is used as the unit price, quoted market prices by other third-party organizations, where available. In some cases, such as private placements and certain mortgage-backed and asset backed securities, fair values are based on discounted expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality, and maturity of the investments.
Certain investments are measured utilizing net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient to determine fair value. Common stock measured and reported at NAV are generally not redeemable with the issuing corporation and cannot be sold without approval of the managing members. Certain preferred stock, which do not have readily determinable fair values, and are investments in investment companies are measured utilizing NAV as a practical expedient.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
Fair values were determined by discounting expected cash flows based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated in the calculations.
Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets are comprised of surplus debentures, residual equity tranches of certain LLC investments, and collateral loans. Surplus debentures are similar to corporate securities. The fair values of surplus debentures are primarily based on prices obtained from independent pricing services or may be obtained from independent
C-26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

third-party dealers in the absence of quoted market prices. Collateral loans are valued at the lesser of par or recovery value. Collateral loans may also have an equity component as part of the funding vehicle structure. For the residual equity tranches, expected cash flows to the equity component are valued using a net present value calculation. The discount rates are internal rates of return that are calibrated to reflect market conditions and company-specific risks.
Separate Accounts
The fair value of the assets of the Separate Accounts in Level 1 are based on actively traded mutual funds that have daily quoted net asset values that are readily determinable for identical assets the Company can access.
Modified guaranteed annuity (MGA) products, in Level 2, may be supported by corporate bonds, including those that are privately placed, RMBS, ABS and cash equivalents. The primary inputs to the valuation for public corporate bonds and cash equivalents include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, and credit spreads. Privately placed corporate bonds are valued using a discounted cash flow model that uses market observable inputs and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow model include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets in markets that are not active that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer. The primary inputs to the valuation for RMBS and ABS include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, and credit spreads. Certain ABS are valued based on non-binding broker quotes whose inputs have been corroborated to be market observable.
The majority of these assets are corporate and mortgage-backed securities included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company reports the separate account assets at amortized cost, which is a grandfathered practice under current NAIC SAP guidelines.
Policy Loans
Policy loans typically carry an interest rate that is tied to the crediting rate applied to the related policy, and contract reserves, which approximates fair value.
Deposit-Type Liabilities
Fair values for the Company’s deposit-type liabilities are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations using interest rates equal to the risk-free rate plus a credit spread based on the Company’s credit rating.

The Company obtains Level 3 fair value measurements from independent, third-party pricing sources. The Company does not develop the significant inputs used to measure the fair value of these assets, and the information regarding the significant inputs is not readily available to us. Independent broker-quoted fair values are nonbinding quotes developed by market makers or broker-dealers obtained from third-party sources recognized as market participants. The fair value of a broker-quoted asset is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant as the Company does not adjust broker quotes when used as the fair value measurement for an asset or liability.

REINSURANCE
Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance assumed is not significant. The ceded reinsurance agreements provide the Company with increased capacity to write larger risks and maintain its exposure to loss within its capital resources.
The Company has various reinsurance agreements with non-affiliated third parties that enable it to limit the amount of exposure to any single insured. The per life exposure retained by the Company ranges up to $10,000.

Reinsurance treaties do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. Consequently, allowances would be established for amounts deemed uncollectible.
During 2023, the Company recorded the effects of the Scottish Re US Inc. Liquidation and Injunction Order described below. No other allowances were deemed necessary.
During 2022, no allowances were deemed necessary.
The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers. The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement.
C-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Scottish Re
Scottish Re US Inc., a Delaware domiciled life and health reinsurer (Scottish Re), ceased writing new business in 2008. The blocks of reinsurance were managed under the terms of the treaties until continued deterioration of their financial condition forced Scottish Re into receivership in March 2019. On July 6, 2023, the Scottish Re Board of Directors unanimously consented to the entry of a Liquidation Order and waived formal service and hearing on the Motion. The Court issued a Liquidation and Injunction Order on July 18, 2023. Following that order, all reinsurance treaties with Scottish Re were cancelled effective September 30, 2023.
Following guidance issued by the NAIC under INT 23-04, Scottish Re Life Reinsurance Liquidation Questions, the Company impaired the outstanding paid recoverables and asset transfer receivable. The impaired recoverable was admitted. The impaired receivable was nonadmitted. The write-off associated with these impairments during 2023 were $940 for the claim recoverable and $193 for the asset transfer receivable.
The Company’s retained reserves increased $2,290 during 2023 relative to the commutation of Scottish Re treaties described above.
Acquisition
In connection with the Acquisition transactions discussed in Note 1, the following reinsurance transactions were executed:
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.
Effective January 1, 2022, the IGR was amended to include a provision for changes in nonadmitted IMR related to the funds withheld portfolio. As a result of this amendment, the Company recorded a decrease in surplus of $5,724 during 2023 and an increase in surplus of $58,954 during 2022, as a component of change in surplus as a result of reinsurance.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
WRAC, along with its life insurance subsidiaries, files a consolidated federal income tax return. Companies included in the consolidated return are as follows:
Wilton Reassurance Company
Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York
Texas Life Insurance Company
Wilcac Life Insurance Company
Redding Reassurance Company 3, LLC
The method of allocation among the companies is subject to a written agreement approved by the Board of Directors. Allocation is based upon the separate return calculations with credit for net losses granted when utilized on a separate company basis or in consolidation.
Inter-company tax balances may be settled quarterly as the Company makes payments to, or receives payments from, WRAC for the amount the Company would have paid to, or received from, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had it not been a member of the consolidated tax group. The separate company provisions and payments are computed using the tax elections made by WRAC.
Pursuant to NY Circular Letter No. 1979-33 (December 20, 1979), in order to help assure the Company’s enforceable right to recoup federal income taxes in the event of future net losses, the Department has required that an escrow account consisting of assets eligible as an investment for the Company be established and maintained by its parent in an amount equal to the excess of the amount paid by the domestic insurer to the parent for federal income taxes over the actual payment made by the parent to the IRS. Escrow assets may be released to WRAC from the escrow account at such time as the permissible period for loss carrybacks has elapsed. The Company and WRAC established the required escrow agreement effective October 1, 2007. The escrow balance was $6,331 and $616 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Unified loss rules, (“ULR”) in the consolidated return regulations (Reg. 1.1502-36) apply when a member of a consolidated group “transfers” a “loss share” of its subsidiary’s stock. The ULR rules function to limit the recognition of loss on transferred stock more than once by requiring the write-down of certain tax attributes to the extent of the recognized stock loss.

The Inflation Reduction Act enacted the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) on August 16, 2022. For applicable corporations that report over $1 billion in profits to shareholders, the act includes a 15% CAMT based on book income. The Company does not meet the average “adjusted financial statement income” threshold for CAMT purposes. As such, the Company is a nonapplicable reporting entity and is not subject to pay CAMT. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is not required to calculate or recognize a payable for CAMT in 2023 and will not have a CAMT credit carryforward.
The aggregate amount of deposits reported as admitted assets under Section 6603 of the IRS Code was $0 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

CAPITAL AND SURPLUS
Life/health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life/health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company exceeded the RBC requirements.
The Company is subject to statutory regulations of the State of New York. Under these regulations, the maximum amount of dividends which can be paid by a company to shareholders in any twelve month period without prior approval of the Department is restricted to the greater of 10% of surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or net income less realized gains of the preceding year, which may be further limited. Dividends may be paid by the Company only from earned surplus. The Company can pay dividends of $37,783 in 2024 without prior regulatory approval.
The Company declared an ordinary dividend of $8,500 on November 29, 2023, approved by the Department on December 6, 2023, and was paid on December 16, 2023. The Company declared no ordinary dividends to its stockholder in 2022 and 2021.
The Company declared an extraordinary dividend of $74,000 on December 13, 2022, approved by the Department on December 13, 2022, and paid cash to WRAC on December 15, 2022. The extraordinary dividend was recorded as a return of capital.
In September 2021, ALICNY’s Board of Directors authorized up to 175,000 of new shares of common capital stock. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the sale, ALICNY issued 87,936 of the newly authorized shares to AIH in exchange for $660,000.
The components contributing to the cumulative increase or (reduction) of unassigned surplus as of December 31 were as follows:

Separate Accounts held by the Company are for variable annuity contracts, variable life policies, and MGA contracts. The assets and liabilities of variable annuity contracts and variable life policies are recorded as assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts and are legally insulated from the General Account, excluding any purchase payments or transfers directed by the contractholder to earn a fixed rate of return which are included in the Company’s General Account assets. The legal insulation of the Separate Account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the General Account. Separate Accounts which contain variable annuity and variable life business are unit investment trusts and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, all assets of the Separate Accounts that support the variable annuity and variable life business were legally insulated.
Variable annuity and variable life business allows the contractholder to accumulate funds within a variety of portfolios, at rates which depend upon the return achieved from the types of investments chosen. The net investment experience of the Separate Accounts is credited directly to the contractholder and can be favorable or unfavorable. The assets of each portfolio are held separately from the other portfolios and each has distinct investment objectives and policies. Absent any contract provision wherein the Company provides a guarantee, the contractholders of the variable annuity and variable life products bear the investment risk that the Separate Account’s funds may not meet their stated investment objectives. Variable annuity and variable life business is included in the Nonguaranteed Separate Accounts column of the following tables.
The assets and liabilities of MGA contracts are also recorded as assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts, however, they are not legally insulated from the General Account. MGA products are non-unitized products, most of which are not registered with the SEC. The Separate Account for MGA products provides the opportunity for the contractholder to invest in one or any combination of up to ten interest rate guarantee periods. Amounts withdrawn from the contract in excess of the free withdrawal amount are subject to market value adjustments. MGA business is included in the Nonindexed Guarantee Less than/equal to 4% or the Nonindexed Guarantees More than 4% column of the following tables.
Some of the Separate Account liabilities are guaranteed by the General Account. To compensate the General Account for the risk taken on variable annuity products, the Separate Accounts paid risk charges of $430, $488, and $619 in
C-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The amount paid by the General Account for Separate Account guarantees for variable annuity products was $826, $191 and $119 in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
In connection with the disposal of the Company’s variable annuity business to Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential) in 2006, there is a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement under which the Separate Account assets and liabilities remain in the Company’s Statements of Financial Position, but the related results of operations are fully reinsured to Prudential and presented net of reinsurance in the statutory-basis statements of operations. In contrast, assets supporting General Account liabilities, including the future rights and obligations related to benefit guarantees and fixed rate of return fund investments, have been transferred to Prudential under the coinsurance reinsurance provisions. The reinsurance agreements do not contain limits or indemnifications with regard to the insurance risk transfer, and transferred all of the future risks and responsibilities for performance in the underlying variable annuity contracts to Prudential, including those related to benefit guarantees and fixed rate of return fund investments, in accordance with SSAP No. 61R. The Separate Account balances related to the modified coinsurance reinsurance were $204,961 and $197,025 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The General Account liability balances reinsured to Prudential under the coinsurance reinsurance were $153,675 and $180,373 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and consisted of the liabilities for fixed rate of return fund investments and benefit guarantees.

Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York
Statutory - Basis Management Discussion and Analysis
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the
Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
Overview
The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing the financial position and results of operations of Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York (the Company or WRNY). It should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Statutory-Basis Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
The most important factors monitored to evaluate the financial condition and performance of the Company include:
For operations: premiums, benefits paid, reserves, expenses, and amounts ceded to reinsurers.
For investments: asset portfolio credit quality/experience, net investment income, cash flows, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized capital gains and losses.
For financial condition: surplus levels, risk-based capital ratios, and stress testing of overall capital position.
Application of critical accounting estimates
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (the Department), which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department requires management to make estimates and assumptions that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements.
Management believes the critical accounting policies relating to the following areas, which are discussed in more detail below, are most dependent on the application of estimates, assumptions, and judgments:
Policy and contract liabilities
Investment valuation, including impairments
Deferred income taxes
Organization
The Company is a stock life insurance company organized in 1955 under the laws of the State of New York, operating predominantly in the individual life business, as well as the group and individual annuity business of the life insurance industry. The Company is licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands, although, historically, its marketing efforts were concentrated in the state of New York. The Company currently has no employees, and it no longer actively writes new primary insurance policies.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilton Reassurance Company (Parent or WRAC), a Minnesota stock life insurance company, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilton Re U.S. Holdings, Inc. (Wilton Re U.S.), a Delaware general corporation. All but a de minimis portion of the economic interests and 100% of the voting interests of Wilton Re U.S. are held or controlled by Wilton Re U.S. Holdings Trust, an Ontario trust (the Wilton Re Trust). In turn, all economic interests associated with the Wilton Re Trust accrue to Wilton Re Ltd. (WRL or Wilton Re), a non-insurance holding company registered in Nova Scotia, Canada. WRL is deemed the ultimate parent corporation in the Company’s holding company system. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is the owner of Wilton Re.
On October 1, 2021, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (ALICNY) and Intramerica Life Insurance Company (Intramerica), both New York domestic insurance companies, were acquired by WRAC and, on November 1, 2021, each were merged with and into the Company, with WRNY being the surviving company to the merger.

Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
The Company is party to a services agreement (the Services Agreement) with its affiliate, Wilton Re Services, Inc. (Wilton Re Services), pursuant to which Wilton Re Services provides certain accounting, actuarial and administrative services.
Acquisition and Merger
On March 29, 2021, WRAC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Allstate Life Insurance Company (ALIC), Allstate Insurance Company (AIC), Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation (AFIHC), and Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC (AIH) to acquire ALICNY, a wholly owned subsidiary of ALIC, and Intramerica, a wholly owned subsidiary of AFIHC (the Acquisition or the Acquired Block).
In September 2021, ALICNY’s Board of Directors authorized up to 175,000 of new shares of common capital stock. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of ALICNY, ALICNY issued 87,936 of the newly issued shares to AIH in exchange for $660,000 in cash.
As of September 30, 2021, necessary state regulatory approvals were received and on October 1, 2021, the acquisition closed and WRAC became the parent of ALICNY and Intramerica.
Immediately following the Acquisition and prior to the Merger described below, ALICNY restated its gross paid-in and contributed surplus and unassigned funds (surplus) by $585,153 under a quasi-reorganization (National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations).
After receiving all regulatory approvals, effective November 1, 2021, ALICNY and Intramerica merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company to the merger (the Merger).
In accordance with SSAP No. 68, Combinations and Goodwill, the Merger was accounted for as a statutory merger. No shares of stock were issued in the transaction. Outstanding shares of ALICNY and Intramerica stock were retired. No adjustments were made directly to the surplus of the Company as a result of the Merger.
Reinsurance
In connection with the Acquisition, the following reinsurance transactions were executed (the Reinsurance transactions):
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.
Effective January 1, 2022, the IGR was amended to include a provision for changes in nonadmitted IMR related to the funds withheld portfolio. As a result of this amendment, the Company recorded a decrease in surplus of $5,724 during 2023 and an increase in surplus of $58,954 during 2022, as a component of change in surplus as a result of reinsurance.
Market Risk
The Company has exposure to several market risks, including interest rate risk, liquidity and concentration risk, and credit risk. WRNY purchases financial instruments primarily to support its insurance liabilities. WRNY manages its portfolio to balance quality, diversification, asset-liability matching, and investment return. WRNY evaluates its exposure to market risk sensitivity through internally defined modeling of its portfolio performance from various stress scenarios including a double default.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in two ways. First, sustained low interest rates expose WRNY to spread compression risk from future reinvested assets. Second, interest-sensitive liabilities expose WRNY to rising interest rates and the related disintermediation risk.
In general, interest rate risks are monitored and managed under Wilton Re’s Asset-Liability Management Policy. Other control activities include credited rate determination of underlying reinsured policies, crediting rate strategy, and monitoring of lapse rates. Various interest rate sensitivities are run on an annual basis to quantify the impact of adverse interest rate scenarios. Based on the results of these sensitivities, management can decide to take risk-mitigation actions such as hedging, duration matching, or other actions as deemed necessary.
Liquidity and Concentration Risk
The liquidity of assets held to pay claims to policyholders is a risk to the Company. Wilton Re’s investment risk exposure is mitigated by its prudent investment strategy, adherence to investment policy limits, and monitoring activities. WRNY’s investment portfolio consists primarily of bonds, policy loans, short-term securities and cash, with over 95% of all bond holdings at investment grade. Impairments have been modest in recent years. Investment risks, including concentration risk, are mitigated and controlled by compliance with the Wilton Re Investment Guidelines.
Wilton Re maintains an appropriate level of liquidity in line with its risk profile. This degree of liquidity allows for unexpected cash needs to be met without forcing the potentially untimely sale of investments.
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk in two ways. First, WRNY is exposed to investment credit risk, which is addressed above in Liquidity and Concentration Risk. Second, WRNY is exposed to counterparty credit risk of its reinsurers and retrocessionaires, both directly and through inuring reinsurance on acquired blocks of business. This exposure is mitigated through diversification of reinsurance counterparties, careful due diligence and ongoing annual reviews of counterparty creditworthiness, and compliance with relevant controls.

Financial Condition
Cash and invested assets
During 2023, cash and invested assets decreased $95,724 resulting from the December 16, 2023 ordinary dividend to WRAC of $8,500, net realized capital losses of $16,852, and normal outflows from operations. Other changes within the asset classes were primarily driven by continued realignment of the portfolio.
In 2017, Wilton Re implemented a Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) program to invest in additional asset classes to complement its portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities. These alternative assets include preferred stock, common stock, high yield bonds, limited partnerships, and commercial mortgage loans (CMLs). These investments will enhance the investment portfolio’s diversification and result in higher total returns with an asset mix that is more in line with industry peers.
The following table indicates the Company’s investment actions under the principles of Wilton Re’s overall SAA program through December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
The Company believes the persistence of the unrealized loss position noted above is manageable given the low disintermediation risk.
Impairments
Management regularly reviews the value of the Company’s investments. If the value of any investment falls below its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other-than-temporary decline in value. To make this determination for each security, the following is considered:
The length of time and extent to which the fair value has been below its cost;
The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential;
Management’s intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its value;
Valuation guidelines expressed in the applicable Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles;
Any downgrades of the security by a rating agency; and
Any reduction or elimination of dividends, or nonpayment of scheduled interest payments.
Based on that analysis, management makes a judgment as to whether the loss is other-than-temporary. If the loss is other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded within net realized investment gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations in the period the determination is made.
The Company recognized other-than-temporary impairments for the years ended December 31 as follows:

Bank crisis
On March 10, 2023, the FDIC took over Silicon Valley Bank after the bank experienced a substantial run on deposits, and two days later, Signature Bank was forced to close. On March 19, 2023, the Swiss regulators arranged for UBS to purchase Credit Suisse at distressed levels without a shareholder vote. Federal regulators and the banking industry itself made an effort to maintain the solvency of First Republic for over a month, but were ultimately unsuccessful. It was seized by regulators on May 1 and substantially all of its assets were sold to JP Morgan Chase with the FDIC agreeing to absorb most of the losses on the investment portfolio.
The Company assessed the direct and indirect exposure to the banking sector and exited some positions in at-risk regional banks to minimize exposure. Total realized losses related to sales or write-downs of impacted securities was $7,166, inclusive of $6,332 of other-than-temporary impairments included in the table above.
We continue to monitor our exposure to depository institutions and sectors considered most at risk of any additional turmoil, including commercial mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2023, those investments account for 6.0% of the Company’s total portfolio. Additional turmoil in this sector could have a material adverse (direct or indirect) effect on global, national and local economies, as well as the Company.

At December 31, 2023, approximately 3.5% of the Company’s bonds and preferred stock (3.3% of bonds) held ratings below Class 2, whereas these percentages were 5.6% and 5.5% at December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company’s level of investments in below-investment grade bonds could change based on market conditions or changes in management policies. Below-investment grade securities have different characteristics than investment grade securities. Based on historical performance, probability of default by the borrower is significantly greater for below-investment grade securities and in many cases severity of loss is relatively greater as such securities are often subordinated to other indebtedness of the issuer. Also, issuers of below-investment grade securities frequently have higher levels of debt relative to investment grade issuers, hence, all other things being equal, are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates. The Company attempts to reduce the overall risk related to its investment in below-investment grade securities, as in all investments, through careful credit analysis, strict investment policy guidelines, and diversification by issuer and/or guarantor and by industry.
Subprime Mortgage Securities
The Company held assets with carrying values of $8,568 and $8,973 and fair values of $7,223 and $7,537 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which were classified as subprime mortgages. Any underlying unrealized losses on this exposure are not due to exposure to realized losses resulting from receiving less than anticipated cash flows or due to the potential sale of assets to meet future cash flow requirements.
Special deposits
On December 31, 2023 and 2022, included within cash and invested assets, cash and bonds with an admitted asset value of $9,122 and $11,214, respectively, were on deposit with government authorities or their designated custodians as required by law.
Reinsurance balances recoverable
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers decreased $186 during 2023 to $3,778. The change is a result of timing of when benefit payments are approved and processed in relation to year end and, consequently, when requests for reimbursement are sent to our reinsurers.

Statutory - Basis Management Discussion and Analysis
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the
Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
Separate Accounts
Separate Accounts held by the Company are for variable annuity contracts, variable life policies and modified guaranteed annuity (MGA) contracts. Separate Accounts which contain variable annuity and variable life business are unit investment trusts and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). MGA products are non-unitized products, most of which are not registered with the SEC.
Separate Accounts balances decreased by $2,171 to $353,751 as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to increased surrender activity, discussed below, offset by improved fair value of assets.
Nonadmitted Assets
Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally the negative interest maintenance reserve, deferred taxes, and other assets not specifically identified as admitted assets within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus.
At December 31, 2023, the Company recorded nonadmitted assets of $80,688 which increased $4,685 from $76,003 at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to the nonadmit of the Company’s negative interest maintenance reserve, discussed in the interest maintenance reserve section.
Net deferred income taxes
The Company reflected a net deferred tax asset of $22,330 at December 31, 2023 which increased $8,431 from $13,899 at December 31,2022, primarily driven by an increase in net operating loss carryforwards of $9,074, a decrease in policyholder reserve of $6,133, and routine changes in deferred and uncollected premium, and deferred acquisition costs, each resulting in tax effects of $2,381 and $3,349, respectively.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has operating and capital losses of $60,586 and $10,945, respectively, to be carried forward to future years. No valuation allowance has been recorded against any deferred tax assets as management has concluded it is more likely than not all deferred tax assets will be realized.
Current Federal income tax
At December 31, 2023, the Company recorded current taxes payable of $8,745 which increased $4,320 from $4,425 at December 31, 2022, primarily due to higher pretax income in 2023.
The Company, along with its US life insurance affiliates, files a consolidated federal income tax return with its Parent. Inter-company tax balances may be settled annually as the Company makes payments to, or receives payments from, WRAC for the amount the Company would have paid to, or received from, the Internal Revenue Service had it not been a member of the consolidated tax group. The separate company provisions and payments are computed using the tax elections made by WRAC.
Policy and Contract Liabilities
When a life insurance contract is issued, the Company establishes reserves for future benefits to be paid. These reserves are determined primarily in accordance with valuation net premiums based upon statutory mortality and interest rate requirements without consideration of withdrawals. Statutory reserve bases are set at time of issue. WRNY’s life policies are primarily calculated using the 1941, 1958, 1980, 2001, and 2017 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Tables of Mortality, 2.25% to 6.00% interest, Commissioner's Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM) and semi-continuous functions, reflecting business written between 1982 and 2005.
When an annuity contract is issued, the Company establishes reserves for future benefits to be paid. These reserves are determined primarily in accordance with the greatest present value of surrender and annuitization benefits using statutory mortality and interest rate requirements. Statutory reserve bases are set at time of issue. WRNY’s annuity policies are primarily calculated using the 1971 IAM, 1983 GAM, 1983-a, a-2000, 2012 IAR VM-21 and VM-22 Tables of Annuitant Mortality, 0.5% to 10.0% interest and Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM).

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the
Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
The Company is currently in runoff and therefore writes no new primary insurance policies. Reserves reflect the policies in force at the time of the valuation.
Policy and contract liabilities decreased $110,463 in 2023. The decrease is primarily due to the normal run-off of the business. In addition, the asset adequacy reserves resulting from the annual asset adequacy analysis decreased $33,000.
Other amounts payable on reinsurance
Other amounts payable on reinsurance decreased $17,069 during 2023 to $13,687, primarily as a result of the quarterly activity of the IGR. The IGR activity is comprised of net underwriting activity, changes in the funds withheld balance, and the funds withheld interest ceded.
Interest maintenance reserve (IMR)
To protect surplus from investment transactions that occur in reaction to interest rate movements, the IMR captures the realized capital gains and losses resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. The IMR minimizes the effect this activity has on current year operations by deferring and amortizing such capital gains and losses, net of tax, over the approximate remaining life of the investments sold.
Negative IMR is not an admitted asset, although in 2023, the NAIC did release INT 23-01, Net Negative (Disallowed) Interest Maintenance Reserve, effective until December 31, 2025, which provides a limited ability to admit a portion of the negative IMR up to 10% of surplus. The Company has elected not to admit any portion of the negative IMR as it would be substantially offset by an increase in asset adequacy reserves as it is not an interest bearing asset.
The Company’s negative IMR increased $5,289 during 2023 to negative $79,056 at December 31, 2023, and was nonadmitted.
The 2023 negative IMR increase is a result of net realized capital losses, offset by normal amortization. During 2023 and 2022, the Company transferred into IMR $7,592 and $84,645 in net realized capital losses, respectively, net of taxes. Also, in connection with the IGR, $6,467 and $17,892 of net losses, respectively, were transferred into IMR resulting from funds held portfolio asset transfers with a market value less than book value.
Asset Valuation Reserve (AVR)
The AVR establishes a reserve to offset potential volatility providing a mechanism to absorb unrealized and credit-related realized gains and losses on all invested asset categories excluding cash, policy loans and income receivable.
As the Company adds more assets through the SAA program, the formula driven AVR will tend to increase. The Company’s AVR increased $16,553 during 2023 to $97,293 at December 31, 2023.
Remittances not allocated
Remittances not allocated decreased $24,771 during 2023 to negative $12,356, primarily due to an impact from an isolated block of life policies where a proportion of paid claims did not generate benefit expense as expected. The activity was accounted for in policy and contract claims. Suspense for these claims will be cleared once the item has been addressed.
Funds held under reinsurance
Funds withheld is a provision in a reinsurance treaty where some or all of the assets supporting the reserves ceded to the reinsurer are not initially transferred but rather are withheld by the ceding company principally to enable the ceding company to reduce the provision for unauthorized reinsurance in its statutory statement. The ceding company reflects the funds withheld as a liability and the reinsurer reflects a funds held by or deposited with the reinsured company as an asset.

(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
Funds held under reinsurance decreased $17,240 during 2023 to $3,928,229 at December 31, 2023, as a result of a $32,038 or 0.97% decrease in the payout annuity reserves offset by a $15,571 of 2.43% increase in the life reserves ceded to WRAC under the IGR described above.
Payable for securities
Payable for securities increased $27,566 during 2023 to $27,578, primarily due to timing difference related to three trades.
Transfers to (from) Separate Accounts due or accrued (net)
Insurance activities of the Company’s separate accounts such as premium collection and payment of claims and benefits are accounted for as transactions of the general account. The general account is then reimbursed by the separate account for those activities.
Transfers from Separate Accounts increased $15,910 during 2023 to $19,497. The change is a result of the quarterly activity.

Results of Operations
Total premium and other revenues
Total premium and other revenues decreased $43,478 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to changes in premium, net investment income, IMR amortization and a charge for reserve adjustment on reinsurance.
Life, annuity and health premiums
Life, annuity and health premiums decreased $18,661 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to converting the administration of the Acquired Block to the Company's preferred Third Party Administrator. The Company conformed its reserving methodology which decreased deferred premium $9,629 with a similar decrease in reserves.
Based upon the composition of the Acquired Block, and following the Company's accrual policy, the conversion resulted in $16,878 lower paid premium, net of $3,291 increased accruals, in 2023 compared to 2022.
Amortization of IMR
The Company has transferred significant realized losses to IMR over the last two years as the portfolio supporting the Acquired Block was restructured. As the resulting negative IMR amortizes over time, those losses are realized in the results of operations.
Reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded
The charge for reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded increased $7,403 in 2023 compared to 2022. This activity is a result of the modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement with Prudential under which the Separate Account assets and liabilities remain in the Company’s balance sheet, but the related results of operations are fully reinsured to Prudential and presented net of reinsurance in the statutory-basis statement of operations.

$296,084
Net investment income decreased $10,707 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to lower distributions from the limited partnerships. Limited partnership distributions are dependent on the disposal of investments held by the general partner and can be volatile on a year-to-year basis, but the Company expects these investments will result in higher total returns over time.
Average portfolio yields for fixed income investments, preferred stock, CMLs, certain other invested assets and short-term investments was 4.37% in 2023, up from 4.36% in 2022 primarily due to higher reinvestment rates resulting from the portfolio restructuring.
Total benefits paid or provided
Total benefits paid or provided decreased $29,681 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to decreased annuity benefits and increased surrender benefits offset by increased release of reserves.
Surrender benefits and withdrawals
Surrender benefits increased $53,043 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to a large cohort of MGA policies reaching the end of their guaranteed reset period as well as a competitive higher interest rate environment.
Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves
Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves, excluding asset adequacy reserves, decreased $24,441 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to the surrender activity and change in reserving methodology noted previously offset by normal growth of life reserves.
The Company establishes additional reserves when the results of its annual asset adequacy analysis indicate the need for such reserves. During 2023, the Company decreased the net asset adequacy reserves by $33,000 to $104,000. During 2022, the Company increased the net asset adequacy reserves $10,000 to $137,000.
General insurance expenses
Under the Services Agreement, the Company incurs charges related to employee compensation which includes a Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP), an Equity Incentive Program (EIP) and an Equity Participation Plan (EPP). These incentive programs vest over varying periods of time between one and four years, after which final unit values

are determined based on actual performance. The Company has been allocated a share of the expense with the payable for these incentive programs carried as a component of general expenses due or accrued. Once the vesting period is complete and the incentive awards are paid, the Company’s payable will be settled with Wilton Re Services. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, included within accounts payable and general expenses due and accrued, the Company’s payable was $22,304 and $14,999, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, included within general insurance expenses are incurred expenses of $11,688, $7,682 and $5,316, respectively.
The Company settled $4,383, $3,206, $5,750 with Wilton Re Services related to vested awards paid in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Funds held interest ceded
The IGR is a funds withheld reinsurance agreement where assets equal to the net statutory reserves are withheld and legally owned by the Company. Net investment income includes the interest income earned on these assets and funds held interest ceded includes the portion due WRAC at rates defined by the treaty terms. The funds withheld interest ceded increased $9,703 in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to improved earned rates driven by lower year-over-year unrealized losses in the underlying asset portfolio, tempered by a net runoff of the funds withheld.
Net transfers to (from) Separate Accounts
Net transfers from Separate Accounts increased $39,620 in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to higher surrenders and increased net investment income.
Insurance activities of the Company’s separate accounts such as premium collection and payment of claims and benefits are accounted for as transactions of the general account. The general account is then reimbursed by the separate account for those activities. Surrenders from the Separate Account increased $19,206 during 2023 primarily due to a large cohort of MGA policies reaching the end of their guaranteed reset period.
The Separate Account for MGA products provides the opportunity for the contractholder to invest in one or any combination of up to ten interest rate guarantee periods. The actual portfolio earnings, net of those credited to the contractholders, inure to the benefit of the general account and during 2023 increased $19,493 primarily due to year-over-year change in unrealized gains and losses.

Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York
Statutory - Basis Management Discussion and Analysis
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the
Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts in thousands of US Dollars, except share amounts)
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Generally, cash is provided by investing activities to fund the run-off operations of the Company. A portion of the diversified product portfolio, primarily deferred annuities and universal life insurance policies, is subject to discretionary surrender and withdrawal by customers. Cash provided by investments increased $23,851 in 2023 compared to 2022.
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased $22,002 in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to the 2023 ordinary dividend being less than the 2022 extraordinary dividend offset by $29,113 of net IGR activity for changes in WRAC’s reimbursement of nonadmitted IMR, settlement of net losses from funds held portfolio asset transfers and changes in the funds held balance, and the normal fluctuations of remittances and items not allocated and contract holder funds.
Capital Resources
Change in surplus
During 2023, surplus increased $22,242 to $311,675 primarily resulting from the net income of $51,577 and increase in deferred taxes of $7,194, offset by the December 16, 2023, ordinary dividend of $8,500, the $7,462 change in surplus as a result of reinsurance, and the $16,553 increase in AVR.
Dividends to stockholders
The Company is subject to statutory regulations of the state of New York. Under these regulations, the maximum amount of dividends which can be paid by a company to shareholders in any twelve month period without prior approval of the New York Department of Financial Services is restricted to the greater of 10% of surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or net income less realized gains of the preceding year, which may be further limited. The Company can pay dividends of $37,783 in 2024 without prior regulatory approval.
Risk Based Capital Analysis
Risk-Based Capital (RBC) is an amount of capital insurance regulators require insurance companies to have to maintain solvency and fulfill their financial operating needs. An Authorized Control Level RBC ratio of at least 200% meets the regulatory requirements.
The following table presents the Company’s Total Adjusted Capital (TAC), the Authorized Control Level (ACL), and the RBC ratio as of December 31, 2023, and 2022:
 
2023
2022
TAC
$408,977
$370,175
ACL
$40,184
$40,180
RBC ratio
508.9%
460.6%
The Company’s TAC increased $38,802 in 2023, primarily driven by changes in surplus of $22,242 described above, and the increase in AVR of $16,553.

ITEM 14.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Amended and Restated Charter of Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York (Depositor) provide for the indemnification of its directors against damages for breach of duty as a director, so long as such person acts or omissions were not in bad faith or involve intentional misconduct or acts or omissions that such person know or reasonable should have known violated the Insurance law or that constituted a knowing violation of any other law that such person personally gain in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled.
Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, the Depositor agrees to indemnify the Distributor for any act or omission in the course of or in connection with rendering services under the underwriting agreement or arising out of the purchase, retention or surrender of a contract; provided however that the company will not indemnify Distributor for any such liability that results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of Distributors or from the reckless disregard by Distributors of its duties and obligations arising under the underwriting agreement.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the forgoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public Policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public Policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
