1 A LEGAL & GENERAL AMERICA AGENCY COMMUNICATION TO: LEGAL & GENERAL AMERICA GENERAL AGENTS FROM: FRANK GENCARELLI, SVP, SALES AND MARKETING DATE: AUGUST 6, 2012 OPTerm, PennTerm and Term Rider prices are increasing with applications received September 4 and later. Six Words: Right Reason. Right Price. Right Time. Right Reason: As the investment environment continues on its uncertain path, today s yields mandate that we increase prices on level term in order to remain a profitable company for the long term. We want to be clear that this is driven by investment returns critical to pricing (see attached "The Picture Tells the Story: Investment Yield History/Japan Scenario"), not by any desire to stem the flow of business. We have sufficient capital to fuel our growth, and have executed strategies to cover reserve obligations on the growing volumes of business we hope to write now and in the future. Right Price: s have increased across many ages and rating classes (there are no decreases). We make no apologies for this. The long-term ability of the company to deliver on its promises is the most important consumer benefit we provide. But we ve been smart about it: our rank among the thirteen key competitors we routinely follow has not changed in our usual comparison cells. Sample premiums (old and new) and rankings are included with this announcement. Right Time: You have a generous period of time until August 31 to close any cases that have been initiated with current rates.

2 And there s a whole lot more that s right about LGA term: True Term Unlike Term UL, our true term design is not under regulatory threat to increase reserve requirements.

4 THE PICTURE TELLS THE STORY: INVESTMENT YIELD HISTORY This chart shows investment yield curves. They show yields on corporate bonds, selling at par. On the left are yields for the shortest investments. To the right are yields on the longest, 20 and 30 year investments. Though yields at the short end of the curve have been low for some time, the more recent fall in longer-duration yields is an indication of diminished confidence by the market that rates will rise. Many experts describe the current interest rate environment as the most challenging they ve ever faced, and the future interest rate environment as the most uncertain. Though most believe interest rates will eventually rise, no one knows when, and there are forces (such as Operation Twist) external to the natural market keeping them down. Surely, no one can guarantee today s prices through a Japan scenario. What s a Japan scenario? Recently, Mr. Hiroshi Shimizu, Managing Executive Officer of Nippon Life Insurance Company of Japan, spoke to the ACLI CEO Forum. The following is an excerpt from the notes to that meeting: WE NEED TO BE A FINANCIALLY HEALTHY COMPANY FOR THE LONG TERM TO FULFILL A LIFETIME OF PROMISES. In October 1990, the Japan Government Bond (JGB) interest rate was 7.79 percent. Over the next decade, the rate rapidly plummeted and the low interest rate environment has lasted ever since. Mr. Shimizu told the Forum that competitive pressures pushed life insurers to gradually raise the guaranteed rates on their products despite the low interest rates offered by JGB. Insurers felt optimistic that interest rates would rise again, but they never did.
