Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Vericity, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Mutual Holding Company (Members Mutual) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, Vericity, Inc. completed the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the IPO). The IPO was conducted in connection with the conversion of Members Mutual from mutual to stock form and the acquisition by Vericity, Inc. of all of the capital stock of Members Mutual following its conversion to stock form after its plan of conversion and amended and restated articles of incorporation were approved at a special meeting of eligible members on August 6, 2019 (the Conversion). As a result of the Conversion, Vericity, Inc. became the holding company for converted Members Mutual and its indirect subsidiaries, including Fidelity Life Association (Fidelity Life) and Efinancial, LLC.

Vericity, Inc. operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois‑domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial, LLC (Efinancial) markets life and other products for non‑affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Vericity, Inc. and subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Basis of Presentation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and notes thereto, included in the Form S-1.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates employed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the determination of the valuation of investments in fixed maturities and equity securities, investment impairments, the valuation of deferred tax assets, future policy benefits and other policyholder liabilities.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as unrealized gains or losses and are a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of applicable deferred income taxes. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated by discounting fixed maturity securities cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments, and by independent pricing sources. See Note 7 for further discussion on inputs and assumptions used to estimate fair value.

Revenue Recognition

We adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 606”) on January 1, 2019. The majority of our revenue-generating arrangements are premiums received from insurance contracts and therefore are excluded from the scope of ASU 606. Life and health insurance contract premiums are recognized as income when due from policyholders. Deposits on deposit-type contracts are entered directly as a liability when cash is received.

Commission revenue from the sale of insurance products by Efinancial is recognized once the insurance policy is issued by the insurance company and accepted by the customer (policy placement) and recorded as commission receivable, net of any advances received. Provision is made for commission revenue that, based on experience, will ultimately not be earned due to the customer discontinuing the underlying insurance policy. Commission revenue that Efinancial earns from the sale of insurance products where Efinancial acts as the general agent (wholesale distribution) is recorded net of related commission expense paid to the writing agency.

Our primary revenue-generating arrangements that are within the scope of ASU 606 are our brokerage arrangements with third-parties. In these arrangements, our customer is the insurance carrier and we have a single performance obligation to place a policy for the insurance carrier. Our performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the policy is placed, which is the point in time when the customer obtains control over the policy and has the right to use and obtain the benefits from the policy. In these arrangements, depending on the number of years the policy is in force, a significant majority of our consideration is received in the first year. In addition to the first-year consideration, depending on the specific carrier and product involved, we may also be entitled to renewal commissions over the period of time the policy remains in force. Our consideration is variable based on the amount of time we estimate a policy will remain in force. We estimate the amount of variable consideration that we expect to receive based on our historical experience or carrier experience to the extent available, industry data and our expectations as to future persistency rates. Additionally, we consider application of the constraint and only recognize the amount of variable consideration that we believe is probable to be received and will not be subject to a significant revenue reversal. We monitor and update this estimate at each reporting date.

any remaining performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We have evaluated our arrangements and concluded that none of our brokerage arrangements include a significant financing component, and therefore do not adjust revenue for the time value of money. We have determined that any contract costs (e.g., costs to obtain or costs to fulfill) related to our brokerage arrangements are immaterial.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker makes decisions by analyzing our segment information, which is included in Note 10. For internal decision-making purposes and external reporting purposes, we do not disaggregate revenue beyond our segment information and believe that any further disaggregation is immaterial.

Insurance lead sales include the sale of potential life insurance customer leads to outside parties including agencies and unaffiliated insurers. Sales of leads are recorded at the time the lead data is transferred to the customer and recorded as a receivable, net of allowance for returns.

Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The core principle of the updated guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments, changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard excludes from its scope the accounting for insurance contracts, financial instruments, and certain other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.

The cumulative effect changes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the adoption of the updated guidance on January 1, 2019 were as follows:

	Balance at December 31,		Adoption Adjustment		Balance at January 1,
ASSETS:	2018		Topic 606		2019
Commissions and agent balances	$	1,864	$	8,571	$	10,435
Deferred income tax assets, net	$	10,663		—	$	10,663
Retained earnings	$	174,558	$	8,571	$	183,129

The impact of adoption on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

Earned commissions	$	4,587		$	(47	)	$	4,540

LIABILITIES AND EQUITY:
Liabilities	$	—		$	—		$	—
Equity	$	—		$	—		$	—
Retained earnings	$	165,605		$	152		$	165,757

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated guidance requires changes to the current financial instruments reporting model and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company expects that the primary effects of the new guidance will be around the accounting for equity investments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Under the new guidance, changes in the fair value of equity securities will be reported as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Company's consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 2 – Investments

The Company continuously monitors its investment strategies and individual holdings with consideration of current and projected market conditions, the composition of the Company’s liabilities, projected liquidity and capital investment needs, and compliance with investment policies and state regulatory guidelines.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be substantially shorter than their contractual maturity because they may require monthly principal installments and such loans may prepay principal. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities available-for-sale by contractual maturity, are presented in the following table:

	September 30, 2019
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value

Other‑Than‑Temporary Declines in Fair Value

Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For all other securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired for credit reasons.

Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether an OTTI loss has occurred for a security. The Company has developed a consistent methodology and has identified significant inputs for determining whether an OTTI loss has occurred. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other‑than‑temporary are the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, payment status, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, credit ratings of the securities, and the duration and severity of the decline.

The credit loss component of a fixed maturity security impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third‑party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists and the security is considered to be temporarily impaired. If the present value of the expected cash flows is less than amortized cost, the security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired for credit reasons and is recognized as an OTTI loss in earnings. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized as OTTI in other comprehensive (loss) income.

A rollforward of the cumulative credit losses on fixed maturity securities are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,

Beginning balance of credit losses on fixed maturity securities	$	828	$	828

The indicated gross unrealized losses in all fixed maturity categories decreased to $979 from $6,454 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Based on the Company’s current evaluation of its fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position in accordance with our impairment policy, and the Company’s current intentions regarding these securities, the Company concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired.

Information and concentrations related to fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position are included below.

Note 3 – Policy Liabilities

Future Policy Benefits

Future policy benefits represent the reserve for direct and assumed traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status.

The annuities in payout status are certain structured settlement contracts. The policy liability for structured settlement contracts of $18,523 and $16,145 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, is computed as the present value of contractually-specified future benefits. The amount included in the policy liability for structured settlements that are life contingent at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, is $13,573 and $11,258, respectively.

To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, a premium deficiency reserve is recorded. A liability of $4,453 and $2,001 is included as part of the liability for structured settlements with respect to this deficiency at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The offset to this liability is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized capital gains included in AOCI.

Participating life insurance in force was 17.5% and 21.9% of the face value of total life at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 4 – Reinsurance

The Company uses reinsurance to mitigate exposure to potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, and provide greater diversity of business. For ceded reinsurance, the Company remains liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. To manage the risk from failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations, the Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of all of its reinsurers. No amounts have been recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 for amounts anticipated to be uncollectible or for the anticipated failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations under the contracts.

Reinsurance recoverable is as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2019		2018
Ceded future policy benefits	$	114,965	$	117,035
Claims and other amounts recoverable		19,108		19,566
Ending balance	$	134,073	$	136,601

The reconciliation of direct premiums to net premiums is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Direct premiums	$	37,462		$	35,999		$	111,190		$	105,590
Assumed premiums		6,776			5,987			18,686			15,125
Ceded premiums		(19,814	)		(19,626	)		(56,572	)		(55,253	)
Net insurance premiums	$	24,424		$	22,360		$	73,304		$	65,462

Net policy charges on universal life products were $42, $38, $126 and $126, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in other income.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, reserves related to fixed‑rate annuity deposits assumed from a former affiliate company amounted to approximately $79,641 and $83,299, respectively, and are included with policyholder account balances in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 5 – Executive Compensation Plan

After completion of the IPO, unvested outstanding awards from the Company’s long-term incentive plan (LTIP) which covered certain members of management and the Company’s Board of Directors became fully vested. In the third quarter 2019, all LTIP related liabilities were paid to all eligible participants and the plan was terminated.

Note 6 – Closed Block

The Closed Block was formed at October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at the inception of the Closed Block. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI).

In October 2011, the IDOI approved a reversion of a portion of the initial funding that the Company had determined was not required to fund the Closed Block. The carrying value of the assets transferred from the Closed Block on October 31, 2011, the date of transfer, was $4,397.

The assets and liabilities within the Closed Block are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other accounts of the Company. The maximum future earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is $9,757 and $9,541 of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience, respectively.

The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block, which is referred to as the actuarial calculation. The actuarial calculation projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the actuarial calculation as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a policyholder dividend obligation of $11,656 and $9,383, respectively, resulting from the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings and from accumulated net unrealized investment gains that have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block.

The impacts on the Company’s comprehensive (loss) income from recognizing a policyholder dividend obligation are as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2019			2018
Actual cumulative (loss) income earnings over expected cumulative earnings	$	(8,835	)	$	(8,668	)

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe such litigation will have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be reasonably possible but not probable or, is probable but not reasonably able to be estimated, no accrual is established, but the matter, if material, is disclosed. We believe there is no individual case pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial ‎condition or results of operations.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago

The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC). As a member, the Company is able to borrow on a collateralized basis from FHLBC which can be used as an alternative source of liquidity. FHLBC membership requires the Company to own member stock. At September 30, 2019, the Company held $104 of FHLBC common stock which allows the Company to borrow up to $2,311. Interest on borrowed funds is charged at variable rates established from time to time by FHLBC and depending on the borrowing option selected at the time of the borrowing. No amounts have been borrowed from the FHLBC as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Note 8 – Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell assets in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company attempts to establish fair value as an exit price consistent with transactions taking place under normal market conventions. The Company utilizes market observable information to the extent possible and seeks to obtain quoted market prices for all securities. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Company uses a number of methodologies to establish fair value estimates including discounted cash flow models, prices from recently executed transactions of similar securities, or broker/dealer quotes.

Fair values for the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Management reviews on an ongoing basis the reasonableness of the methodologies used by the pricing services to ensure prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value and to confirm representations regarding whether inputs are observable or unobservable. The main procedure the Company employs in fulfillment of this objective includes back-testing transactions, where past fair value estimates are compared to actual transactions executed in the market on similar dates.

The Company’s assets and liabilities have been classified into a three‑level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Level 1 and Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets the Company can access. Level 1 assets include securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2 — This level includes fixed maturities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets; and model‑derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 instruments also include a private placement equity fund.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid assets for which significant inputs are unobservable in the market, such as structured securities and private placement bonds, that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

Certain assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, intangible assets, future policy benefits excluding term life reserves and policyholder account balances. Accordingly, such items are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the items are subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition (for example, when there is evidence of impairment) and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements at the reporting date.

Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Summary of Significant Valuation Techniques for Assets and Liabilities on a Recurring Basis

Level 1 securities include principally exchange‑traded funds that are valued based on quoted market prices for identical assets.

All the fair values of the Company’s fixed maturities, and equity securities within Level 2 are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. All of the Company’s prices for each security are generally sourced from multiple pricing vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type and region of the world, based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The Company ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type and region. For fixed maturities that do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements using their pricing applications which incorporate a variety of inputs including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, and U.S. Treasury curves. Specifically, for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data. Securities with validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they generally are based on observable pricing for similar assets or other market significant observable inputs.

Level 3 fair value classification consists primarily of investments in private placement securities where the fair value of the security is determined by a pricing service using spread matrix pricing which incorporates a discounted cash flow model where one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable in the marketplace. The remaining securities in Level 3 consist of corporate bonds whose fair values are determined by pricing models where there is a lack of transparency to one or more significant inputs, or broker/dealer quotes. 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. The Company does not adjust broker quotes when used as the fair value measurement for an asset. At September 30, 2019, the Company held 3 securities priced using a broker/dealer quote that was within Level 3. The fair value of Level 3 liabilities is estimated on the discounted cash flow of contractual payments.

If the Company believes the pricing information received from third-party pricing services is not reflective of market activity or other inputs observable in the market, the Company may challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service. Historically, the Company has not challenged or updated the prices provided by third-party pricing services. However, any such updates by a pricing service to be more consistent with the presented market observations, or any adjustments made by the Company to prices provided by third-party pricing services would be reflected in the balance sheet for the current period.

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the period and are based on observable inputs received from pricing sources; therefore, all realized and unrealized gains and losses on these securities for the period are reflected in the table that follows. A summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 assets held at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

			Total gains (losses) included in:
	Balance at January 1, 2019		Net Income (loss)		OCI		Purchases		Sales		Settlements			Net Transfers			Balance at September 30, 2019
Financial Assets

Total assets	$	23,290	$	—	$	(607	)	$	—	$	—	$	(7,738	)	$	(1,250	)	$	13,695

The total change in unrealized investment gains (losses) presented in the preceding table represents unrealized gains (losses) only for the current year during which the applicable financial instruments were classified as Level 3. Securities may be transferred in or out of Level 3 based on the availability of observable market information used to determine the fair value of the security. As a result of obtaining new observable market information, there were 29 transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 in 2019 compared to 1 transfer in 2018. There were no transfers between other levels.

The following presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs utilized by the Company in the fair value measurements of Level 3 assets. Valuations for assets and liabilities not presented in the tables below are primarily based on broker/dealer quotes for which there is a lack of transparency as to inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative detail of these unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably available to the Company at the period presented.

September 30, 2019	Fair Value		Valuation technique	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted Average)
Asset-backed securities	$	3,213	Evaluated Pricing	Direct Observations & Observed Comparables	N/A

December 31, 2018	Fair Value		Valuation technique	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted Average)
Corporate and miscellaneous	$	12,773	Matrix pricing	Spreads off benchmark yields	99-110 bps (102 bps)

For the fixed maturities, an increase in spreads off benchmark yields would result in a lower fair value measurement.

Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

			Estimated Fair Value
September 30, 2019	Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Financial instruments recorded as liabilities:

Policyholder account balances		93,051		—		—		88,513		88,513

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities.

Mortgage Loans — Fair value was based on the discounted value of future cash flows for all first mortgage loans adjusted for specific loan risk. The discount rate was based on the rate that would be offered for similar loans at the reporting date. Fair value excludes $3,193 and $3,262 of second and mezzanine mortgages carried at cost which fair value is not measurable at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Policyholder Loans — Fair value of policyholder loans are estimated using discounted cash flows using risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash value of the underlying insurance policy.

Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances — For deposit liabilities with interest rate guarantees greater than one year or with defined maturities, the fair value was estimated by calculating an average present value of expected cash flows over a broad range of interest rate scenarios using the current market risk‑free interest rates adjusted for spreads required for publicly traded bonds issued by comparably rated insurers. For deposit liabilities with interest rate guarantees of less than one year, the fair value was based on the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Long/short-term debt — Fair value was calculated using the discounted value of future cash flows method. The discount rate was based on the rate that is commensurable to the level of risk. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets has been divided in to short and long-term based upon expected maturity dates.

Note 9 – Long and Short-term Debt

The Company originally entered into a financing arrangement with an external party in January 2018, from which the Company receives an advanced commission-based payment for certain insurance segment term policies sold through the Agency segment, in exchange for a level commission that is paid by the Company over the period the policy remains in-force. The Company’s arrangement with the external party allows the Company to finance up to $23,000 of commission. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a net advance of $17,560 and $13,366, respectively, under this arrangement. At September 30, 2019, the Company expects to pay back the aggregate amounts as presented in the following table.

Due in one year or less	$	3,840
Due after one year through two years		2,360
Due after two years through three years		2,143
Due after three years through four years		1,993

Note 11 – Business Segments

The Company’s current operations were organized into three reportable segments: Insurance, Agency, and Corporate.

The Insurance segment is composed of three broad lines consisting of Direct Life, Closed Block, and Assumed Life and Annuities. Direct Life and the Closed Block are distinct operations; the assumed business and the small amount of structured settlements are all blocks in runoff from a prior management arrangement.

The Agency segment includes the insurance distribution operations of the Company and includes commission revenue from the sale of Fidelity Life products.

The Corporate segment includes certain expenses that are corporate expenses or that will benefit the overall organization and are not allocated to a segment. This segment also recognizes investment income on cash and invested assets held mainly as a result of the IPO.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including any profit or loss from the sale of Insurance segment products through the Agency segment.

The segment results are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three- and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements that are intended to enhance the reader’s ability to assess our future financial and business performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that represent our beliefs concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments, and contain words and phrases such as “may,” “expects,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar expressions. In addition, statements that refer to our future financial performance, anticipated growth and trends in our business and in our industry and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different.

Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and do not undertake, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

The forward-looking statements include, among other things, those items listed below:

•

future economic conditions in the markets in which we compete that could be less favorable than expected and could have impacts on demand for our products and services;

•

our ability to grow and develop our Agency business through expansion of retail call centers, wholesale operations and other areas of opportunity;

•

our ability to grow and develop our insurance business and successfully develop and market new products;

•

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities either through acquisitions or organically;

•

financial market conditions, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates and the level and trends of stock market prices causing a reduction of investment income or realized losses and reduction in the value of our investment portfolios;

•

increased competition in our businesses, including the potential impacts of aggressive price competition by other insurance companies, payment of higher commissions to agents that could affect demand for our insurance products and impact the ability to grow and retain agents in our Agency segment and the entry of new competitors and the development of new products by new or existing competitors, resulting in a reduction in the demand for our products and services;

•

the effect of legislative, judicial, economic, demographic and regulatory events in the jurisdictions where we do business;

•

the effect of challenges to our patents and other intellectual property;

•

costs, availability and collectability of reinsurance;

•

the potential impact on our reported net income that could result from the adoption of future Accounting Standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard-setting bodies;

•

the inability to maintain or grow our strategic partnerships or our inability to realize the expected benefits from our relationship with the standby purchaser;

•

the inability to manage future growth and integration of our operations; and

•

changes in industry trends and financial strength ratings assigned by nationally recognized rating organizations.

You should review carefully the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Form S-1 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2019 (File No. 333-231952), for a complete discussion of the material risks of an investment in our common stock.

Overview

We provide life insurance protection targeted to the middle American market. We believe there is a substantial unmet need for life insurance, particularly among domestic households with annual incomes of between $50,000 and $125,000, a market we refer to as our target Middle Market. We differentiate our product and service offerings through innovative product design and sales processes, with an emphasis on rapidly issued products that are not medically underwritten at the time of sale.

We conduct our business through our two operating subsidiaries, Fidelity Life, an Illinois-domiciled life insurance company, and Efinancial, a call center-based insurance agency. Efinancial sells Fidelity Life products through its own call center distribution platform, independent agents and other marketing organizations. Efinancial, in addition to offering Fidelity Life products, sells insurance products of unaffiliated carriers. We report our operating results in three segments: Agency, Insurance and Corporate.

Agency Segment

This segment primarily consists of the operations of Efinancial. Efinancial is a call center-based insurance agency that markets life insurance for Fidelity Life and unaffiliated insurance companies. Efinancial’s primary operations are conducted through employee agents from two call center locations, which we refer to as our retail channel. In addition, Efinancial operates as a wholesale agency, assisting independent agents that seek to produce business for the carriers that Efinancial represents, which we refer to as our wholesale channel. The agency segment’s main source of revenue is commissions earned on the sale of insurance policies sold through our retail and wholesale channels. Efinancial also generates data and click-through revenue (reported as part of Insurance Lead Sales on the related Statements of Operations) through its eCoverage web presence.

Agency segment expenses consist of marketing costs to acquire potential customers, salary and bonuses paid to our employee agents, salary and other costs of employees involved in managing the underwriting process for our insurance applications, sales management, agent licensing, training and compliance costs. Other Agency segment expenses include costs associated with financial and administrative employees, facilities rent, and information technology. After payroll, the most significant Agency segment expense is the cost of acquiring leads. We partially offset our sales leads expense through advertising revenues from individuals who click on specific advertisements while viewing one of our web pages, and through the resale of leads that are not well suited for our call center.

Insurance Segment

This segment consists of the operations of Fidelity Life. Fidelity Life underwrites primarily term life insurance through Efinancial and a diverse group of independent insurance distributors. Fidelity Life specializes in life insurance products that can be issued immediately or within a short period following a sales call, using non-medical underwriting at the time of policy issuance.

Fidelity Life engages in the following business lines:

Core Life - Our core life insurance business is the primary business of the insurance segment. Core life represents a significant portion of the insurance business written by Fidelity Life since it resumed independent operations in 2005. Our core life business consists of inforce policies that are considered to be of high strategic importance to Fidelity Life.

NonCore Life - Our noncore life business consists of: products that are currently being marketed but are not deemed to be of high strategic importance to the Company; inforce policies from product lines introduced since Fidelity Life resumed independent operations in 2005, but were subsequently discontinued; and an older annuity block of business that was not included in the Closed Block.

Closed Block - Our Closed Block represents all inforce participating insurance policies of Fidelity Life. The Closed Block was established in connection with our 2007 reorganization into a mutual holding company structure.

Annuities and Assumed Life. We have assumed reinsurance commitments with respect to annuity contract-holder deposits and a block of life insurance contracts that were ceded by former affiliates of Fidelity Life. On March 29, 2019, one of these former affiliates recaptured the majority of the assumed block of life business. The annuity deposits were ceded to Fidelity Life through two contracts entered into in the early 1990s. These annuity and assumed life deposits are now largely in runoff, with only minor amounts of new deposits each year. There are minimal remaining surrender charges associated with the assumed annuity contracts.

Insurance segment revenues consist of net insurance premiums, net investment income, and net realized gains (losses) on investments. We recognize premium revenue from our policyholders. We purchase reinsurance coverage to help manage the risk on our insurance policies by paying, or ceding, a portion of the policyholder premiums to the reinsurance company. Our net insurance premiums reflect amounts collected from policyholders, plus premiums assumed under reinsurance agreements less premiums ceded to reinsurance companies. Net investment income represents primarily interest income earned on fixed maturity security investments. We also realize gains and losses on sales of investment securities.

Insurance segment expenses consist of benefits paid to policyholders or their beneficiaries under life insurance policies. Benefit expenses also include additions to the reserve for future policyholder benefits to recognize our estimated future obligations under the policies. Benefit expenses are shown net of amounts ceded under our reinsurance contracts. Our insurance segment also incurs policy acquisition costs that consist of commissions paid to agents, policy underwriting and issue costs and variable sales costs. A portion of these policy acquisition costs are deferred and expensed over the life of the insurance policies acquired during the period. In addition to policy acquisition costs, we incur expenses that vary based on the number of contracts that we have in-force, or variable policy administrative costs. These variable costs consist of expenses paid to third-party administrators based on rates for each policy administered. Our insurance operations also incur overhead costs for functional and administrative staff to support insurance operations, financial reporting and information technology.

Corporate Segment

The results of this segment consist of net investment income and realized investment gains (losses) earned on nominal invested assets. We also include certain corporate expenses that are not allocated to our other segments, including expenses of Vericity, Inc., board expenses, executive management time spent on corporate matters, and financial reporting and auditing costs related to our consolidation and internal controls.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as well as the Company’s Form S-1. The accounting policies discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience, market indicators and other relevant factors and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and may affect our financial position and results of operations.

Results of Operations

The major components of operating revenues, benefits and expenses and net (loss) income were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Total Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, total revenues were $34.6 million compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $3.1 million resulted from higher net insurance premiums and earned commissions primarily due to a shift in business from intersegment to external distributors, partially offset by lower net realized investment (losses) gains and a decrease in insurance lead sales.

Benefits and Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, total benefits and expenses were $43.7 million compared to $35.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $8.3 million was primarily due to higher operating costs and expenses which includes $5.9 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO, life, annuity, and health claim benefits and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had a loss before taxes of $9.1 million compared to a loss before taxes of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The higher loss of $5.2 million was due to increased insurance operating costs and expenses, life, annuity, and health claim benefits, higher amortization of deferred policy acquisition and lower net realized investment gains and losses, partially offset by net insurance premiums.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2018

Total Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total revenues were $103.9 million compared to $93.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $10.6 million resulted from higher net insurance premiums, higher earned commissions primarily due to a shift in business from intersegment to external distributors and higher net realized investment gains, partially offset by a decrease in insurance lead sales.

Benefits and Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total benefits and expenses were $121.5 million compared to $104.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $17.0 million was primarily due to higher life, annuity, and health claim benefits, operating costs and expenses which includes $5.9 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO, and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had a loss before taxes of $17.7 million compared to a loss before taxes of $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increased loss of $6.5 million was due to higher life, annuity, and health claim benefits, operating costs and expenses and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, partially offset by an increase in net insurance premiums and earned commissions.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Earned Commissions

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, earned commissions were $9.6 million compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease of $1.4 million resulted from lower sales in our retail channel, which was primarily due to shift in business mix to more guaranteed issue products and lower agent headcount.

Insurance Lead Sales

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, insurance lead sales were $1.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease of $0.1 million was primarily due to a management decision to reduce external lead sales and maximize retail channel sales.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, operating costs and expenses were $13.6 million compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $0.6 million was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in overhead expenses, which includes $0.9 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO partially offset by lower variable cost of sales of $0.6 million, which was mainly driven by lower retail earned commissions.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Agency segment incurred a net loss of $2.4 million compared to net loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine months Ended September 30, 2018

Earned Commissions

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, earned commissions were $30.3 million compared to $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease of $2.0 million resulted from lower sales in our retail channel, which was primarily due to shift in business mix to more guaranteed issue products and lower agent headcount, partially offset by growth in our wholesale channel.

Insurance Lead Sales

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, insurance lead sales were $4.5 million compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease of $1.6 million was primarily due to a management decision to reduce external lead sales and maximize retail channel sales.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, operating costs and expenses were $39.1 million compared to $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $0.3 million was due to a $1.9 million increase in overhead expenses, primarily due to $0.9 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO and increases in non-agent staff costs partially offset by lower variable cost of sales of $1.6 million, which was mainly driven by lower retail earned commissions.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Agency segment incurred a net loss of $4.3 million compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase in net loss of $3.8 million was the result of lower earned commissions, lower lead sales revenue, and higher operating costs and expenses.

Premium Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net insurance premiums were $24.4 million compared to $22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $2.0 million in net insurance premiums was primarily due to growth in our core lines of $2.2 million, mainly driven by increases in LifeTime Benefit Term (LBT) and Rapid Decision Term and increases of $0.1 million in our non-core lines, and $0.1 million in Closed Block, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in annuities and assumed life.

Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses)

See “Note 2 – “Investments” in the notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Life and Annuity Benefits

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, life and annuity claim benefits were $16.2 million compared with $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $2.7 million was mainly attributable to an increase of $2.3 million in net claims, resulting from $2.5 million higher claim activity on certain core and non-core products and $0.1 million in Closed Block.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, operating costs and expenses were $8.9 million compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $1.8 million was due to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO.

Amortization of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $4.3 million compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, reflecting an increase in our core lines of $0.5 million and non-core lines of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in Closed Block of $0.4 million.

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net loss was $2.2 million compared to net income of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The $3.1 million decrease resulted primarily from a $2.6 million increase in life and annuity benefits, $1.8 million increase in operating costs and expenses, and an increase in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of $0.5 million partially offset by an increase in premiums of $2.0 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Premium Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net insurance premiums were $73.3 million compared to $65.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $7.8 million in net insurance premiums was primarily due to growth in our core lines of $8.6 million, mainly driven by increases in LBT and Rapid Decision Term and $1.3 million in our non-core lines, partially offset by a decrease in annuities and assumed life of $1.4 million due to the recapture of a majority of this business and a decrease in Closed Block of $0.7 million.

Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses)

See “Note 2 – “Investments” in the notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Life and Annuity Benefits

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, life and annuity claim benefits were $48.6 million compared with $40.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $8.5 million was mainly attributable to an increase of $7.7 million in net claim benefits resulting from $7.0 million higher claim activity on certain core and non-core products, and $1.6 million in annuities and assumed life, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in Closed Block. Change in benefit reserves increased $0.8 million primarily due to growth in our core lines of $3.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million in annuities and assumed life primarily related to the recapture of the majority of an assumed life block of business.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, operating costs and expenses were $24.3 million compared to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase of $3.0 million was due to $1.8 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO and an increase in non-deferrable acquisition costs.

Amortization of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $12.9 million compared to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflecting $2.2 million increase from core and non-core lines, partially offset by $1.0 million reduction in Closed Block.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net loss was $2.8 million compared to net income of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in net income of $4.1 million resulted primarily from higher life and annuity benefits and interest credited to policyholders of $8.3 million, higher general expenses of $3.0 million and increased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of $1.2 million, partially offset by increases in premiums of $7.8 million and net realized capital gains of $0.6 million.

Closed Block

The Closed Block was formed as of October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at inception. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future adverse experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, it is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance.

The maximum future earnings to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are $9.6 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience.

The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block which is referred to as the “glide path.” The glide path model projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the glide path as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block policies and the investment experience of the Closed Block assets. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. See “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the net loss increased $2.4 million to $3.7 million from a net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the net loss is primarily related to the completion of the IPO and includes $3.2 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in net investment income.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the net loss increased $3.1 million to $6.7 million from a net loss of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the net loss is primarily related to the completion of the IPO and includes $3.2 million of accelerated vesting of incentive compensation, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in net investment income.

Intercompany Eliminations

The impact of the eliminations for intercompany transactions primarily consists of the sales by our Agency segment of life products of our insurance segment. The eliminations represent the amounts required to eliminate the intercompany transactions as recorded in our segment results, and in particular, to eliminate any intersegment profits resulting from such transactions. Our segment results follow the accounting principles and methods applicable to each segment as if the intercompany transactions were with unaffiliated organizations:

Revenue—our Agency segment recognizes all commission revenue to be paid for the first year that the policy is in force at the date that the insurance policy goes in force at the carrier.

Expense—our insurance segment recognizes the first-year commission as a policy acquisition cost, in proportion to the premiums earned from providing insurance coverage throughout the first year that the policy is in force. In addition, our insurance segment defers the amount by which the first-year commission acquisition costs exceed the ultimate renewal commission and records this amount as deferred acquisition cost that is amortized over the expected life of the policy.

Viewed at the segment level, because of the timing difference between the Agency segment’s immediate recognition of commission revenue and the insurance segment’s deferral and amortization of the commission expense over the expected life of the policy, all else being equal, the sale of a policy through our Agency segment results in an intersegment profit in an amount equal to the difference between the commission paid and the related amortization expense. However, in consolidation, two impacts occur. First, the intercompany revenue recognized by our Agency segment and the related deferred acquisition expense recorded by our insurance segment are eliminated. Second, we record deferred policy acquisition costs equal to that portion of commission deferred acquisition cost (DAC) that can be tied directly to Efinancial’s expenses incurred in the successful placement of a policy. Therefore, in consolidation, the commission DAC recorded in our insurance segment is effectively reduced to reflect the elimination of that portion of commission DAC that results from Efinancial expenses that cannot be directly tied to the successful placement of a policy. The amount of eliminated commission DAC, which represents a majority of the commission DAC, is charged to current expense, and acquisition cost DAC is recorded at a reduced amount, which represents the amount of commission DAC that is eligible for deferral under GAAP.

The results of these elimination entries were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the impact of intercompany eliminations on pre-tax income was a reduction of $0.8 million compared to a $3.4 million reduction for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease in pre-tax loss of $2.6 million was mainly due to lower volume of intersegment sales.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2018

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the impact of intercompany eliminations on pre-tax income was a reduction of $3.9 million compared to a $8.4 million reduction for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease in pre-tax loss of $4.5 million was mainly due to lower volume of intersegment sales.

Investments

Investment Returns

We invest our available cash and funds that support our regulatory capital, surplus requirements and policy reserves in investment securities that are included in our insurance and corporate segments. We earn income on these investments in the form of interest on fixed maturity securities (bonds and mortgage loans) and dividends (equity holdings). Investment income is recorded as revenue, net of investment related expenses. The amount of net investment income that we recognize will vary depending on the amount of invested assets that we own, the types of investments, the interest rates earned and amount of dividends received on our investments.

Gains and losses on sales of investments are classified as “realized investment gains (losses)” and are recorded as revenue. Capital appreciation and depreciation caused by changes in the market value of investments classified as “available-for-sale” is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amount of investment gains and losses that we recognize depends on the amount of and the types of invested assets we own, and the market conditions related to those investments. Our cash needs can vary from time to time and could require that we sell invested assets to fund cash needs.

Investment Guidelines

Our investment strategy and guidelines are developed by management and approved by the Investment Committee of Fidelity Life’s board of directors. Our investment strategy related to our insurance segment is designed to maintain a well-diversified, high quality fixed income portfolio that will provide adequate levels of net investment income and liquidity to meet our policyholder obligations under our life insurance policies and our assumed annuity deposits. To help maintain liquidity, we establish the duration of invested assets within a tolerance to the policy liability duration. The investments of our insurance segment are managed with an emphasis on current income within quality and diversification constraints. The focus is on book yield of the fixed income portfolio as the anticipated portfolio yield is a key element used in pricing our insurance products and establishing policyholder crediting rates on our annuity contracts.

We apply our overall investment strategy and guidelines on a consolidated basis for purposes of monitoring compliance with our overall guidelines. Almost all of our investments (over 99%) are owned by Fidelity Life and are maintained in compliance with insurance regulations. Critical guidelines of our investment plan include:

•

Asset concentration guidelines that limit the amount that we hold in any one issuer of securities,

•

Asset quality guidelines applied on a portfolio basis and for individual issues that establish a minimum asset quality standard for portfolios and establish minimum asset quality standards for investment purchases and investment holdings,

•

Liquidity guidelines that limit the amount of illiquid assets that can be held at any time, and

•

Diversification guidelines that limit the exposure at any time to the total portfolio by investment sectors.

Our investment portfolios are all managed by third-party investment managers that specialize in insurance company asset management. These managers are selected based upon their expertise in the particular asset classes that we own. We contract with an investment management firm to provide overall assistance with oversight of our portfolio managers, evaluation of investment performance and assistance with development and implementation of our investment strategy. This investment management firm reports to our Chief Financial Officer and to the Investment Committee of Fidelity Life’s board of directors. On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances require, we review the performance of all portfolios and portfolio managers with the Investment Committee.

The following table shows the distribution of the fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale by quality rating using the rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Over the periods presented, we have maintained a consistent weighted average bond quality rating of “A.” The percentage allocation of total investment grade securities has increased to 98.2% at September 30, 2019 from 94.0% at December 31, 2018 due to the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) ratings on certain new securities acquired in our portfolio of distressed residential mortgage-backed securities.

The following table sets forth the maturity profile of our debt securities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, with or without penalty.

Every quarter, we review all investments where the market value is less than the carrying value to ascertain if the impairment of the security’s value is OTTI. The quarterly review is targeted to focus on securities with larger impairments and that have been in an impaired status for longer periods of time. (see “Note 9 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” in the accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q).

Net Investment Income

One key measure of our investment income is the book yield on our holdings of fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale. This totaled $301.1 million and $304.3 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Book yield is the effective interest rate, before investment expenses, that we earn on these investments. Book yield is calculated as the percent of net investment income to the average amortized cost of the underlying investments for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our book yield on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale was 4.3% and 4.3%, respectively.

Interest Credited on Contract-holder Deposits

Included with the future policy benefits is the liability for contract-holder deposits on deferred annuity contracts assumed through two reinsurance agreements effective in 1991 and 1992, and certain other policy funds left on deposit with the Company. The aggregate liability for deposits is as follows:

	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		September 30, 2019		September 30, 2018
	Ending Balance		Ending Balance		Year to Date Interest Credited		Year to Date Interest Credited
	(dollars in thousands)
Annuity contract holder deposits—assumed	$	79,641	$	83,299	$	2,362	$	2,534
Dividends left on deposit		7,680		8,147		146		156
Other		1,626		1,605		30		28
Total	$	88,947	$	93,051	$	2,538	$	2,718

The liability for deferred annuity deposits represents the contract-holder account balances. Due to the declines in market interest rates and the book yield on our investment portfolio, we credit interest on all contract-holder deposit liabilities at contractual rates that are currently at the minimum rate allowed by the contract or by state regulations.

Our Insurance segment realizes operating profit from the excess of our book yield realized on fixed maturity securities that support our contract-holder deposits over the amount of interest that we credit to the contract-holder. We refer to this operating profit as the “spread” we earn on contract-holder deposits. If book yields decline further, the amount of spread between the interest earned and credited will be reduced.

Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses)

Realized investment gains and losses are subject to general economic trends and generally correlate with movements in major market indexes. The amounts classified as realized gains and losses in our Statement of Operations include amounts realized from sales of investments, mark-to-market adjustments and OTTI of individual securities related to credit impairment.

Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses)

We also record capital appreciation/depreciation on our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. The following table shows the change in mark-to-market adjustments on our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. These adjustments result from the low current market interest rates, which cause the market value of our holdings, that overall carry higher interest rates than available in the market, to increase.

Financial Position

At September 30, 2019, we had total assets of $806.7 million compared to total assets at December 31, 2018 of $655.0 million, an increase of $152.0 million. The invested asset base increased $91.2 million primarily due to short-term investment increase of $71.2 million related to cash received from the completion of the IPO and increase in market value changes of $20.3 million, partially offset by net sales of invested assets. In addition, the commissions receivable increased by $8.8 million, primarily resulting from the adoption of the Revenue Recognition accounting standard effective January 1, 2019 (see “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Accounting Standards Adopted” in the notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q). Cash increased $58.6 million primarily related to cash from the IPO, partially offset by operations and timing of claim payments and collection of reinsurance recoveries. The above increases were offset by the following drivers: Other assets decreased $2.0 million primarily due to costs incurred in prior years related to the IPO previously classified in Other assets and now included in Additional paid in capital partially offset by increases in internally developed software and due premium. Reinsurance recoverable decreased $2.5 million as a result of a $5.4 million decrease in ceded policy and claim reserves, offset by an increase of $2.9 million related to timing of settlements of reinsurance receivables. Deferred income taxes decreased $2.7 million, primarily due to changes related to investment market gains.

At September 30, 2019, we had total liabilities of $498.0 million compared to total liabilities of $482.8 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $15.2 million. Future policy benefits and claims increased $14.2 million, primarily due to a $30.7 million increase in core and non-core lines due to growth and maturity of the underlying blocks of business, offset by a decrease of $11.1 million in the Closed Block and $5.4 million decrease in annuities and assumed life, primarily related to the recapture of the majority of an assumed life block of business. Debt increased $5.5 million related to additional net borrowings under our commission financing agreement with Hannover Life. Other liabilities increased $0.6 million, primarily related to timing of investment trades, partially offset by changes in operating accruals. Policyholder dividend obligations relating to the Closed Block increased $2.3 million, primarily related to changes in the market value of invested assets. The above increases were offset by the following items: policyholder account balances decreased $4.1 million, which was largely due to annuity payments, other policyholder liabilities and reinsurance liabilities and payables decreased $3.2 million, primarily due to timing of claim payments and reinsurance settlements.

At September 30, 2019, total equity increased to $308.7 million from $172.2 million at December 31, 2018. This increase in equity of $136.5 million consists of a $132.8 million increase as a result of the IPO and a net gain in other comprehensive income for the period of $12.5 million which was due to unrealized net gains on our fixed maturity available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of taxes. Retained earnings decreased by $8.8 million which included a net loss of $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by an increase of $8.6 million related to the Revenue Recognition accounting standard adoption. (See “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Accounting Standards Adopted” in the notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of funds are from premium revenues, commission revenues, investment income and proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments and net borrowings. The Company’s primary uses of funds are for payment of life policy benefits, contract-holder withdrawals on assumed annuity contracts, new business acquisition costs for our insurance operations (i.e., commissions, underwriting and issue costs), cost of sales for Agency operations (i.e., agent compensation, purchased lead and lead generation costs), operating costs and expenses and purchases of investments. Our investment portfolio is structured to provide funds periodically over time, through investment income and maturities, for the payment of policy benefits and contract-holder withdrawals.

Under our commission financing arrangement with Hannover Life, Fidelity Life is able to pay level annual commissions instead of first year only commissions to Efinancial for sales of RAPIDecision® Life policies and Hannover Life advances to Efinancial amounts approximately equal to first year only commissions for sales of those policies. This arrangement reduces Fidelity Life’s surplus strain associated with issuing RAPIDecision® Life business while helping to provide liquidity for Efinancial through the receipt of larger first year only commissions. We are able to obtain advances up to $23 million under our arrangement with Hannover Life. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had net advances of $17.6 million and $13.4 million under this arrangement.

We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “FHLBC”). As a member, we are able to borrow on a collateralized basis from the FHLBC. We own FHLBC common stock with a book value of $0.1 million, which allows us to borrow up to $2.3 million. Interest on borrowed funds is charged at variable rates established from time to time by the FHLBC based on the interest rate option selected at the time of the borrowing. There have been no borrowings from the FHLBC during 2019 and 2018.

During the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, the board of directors of Fidelity Life approved the payment of $5.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in dividends to Vericity Holdings. The dividends provided operating funds to Vericity Holdings to support corporate operations and initiatives. Following the Conversion, Fidelity Life has agreed not to pay any common stock dividends without the approval of a majority of the Company designees. In connection with the approval of the Conversion by the Illinois Director of Insurance, we agreed, for a period of ‎twenty-four months following the completion of the Conversion, to (i) seek the prior approval of the Illinois ‎Department of Insurance for any declaration of an ordinary dividend by Fidelity Life, and (ii) either maintain $20 ‎million of the proceeds of the offering at Vericity, Inc. or use all or a portion of that $20 million to fund our operations.‎

Cash Flows

Cash flows from investing activities includes our fixed maturity securities and equity holdings that are classified as available-for-sale securities. Period to period, the cash flows associated with the changes in these portfolios will vary between cash sources and cash uses depending on portfolio trading due to investment market conditions.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consists of the assumed annuity contract-holder deposits. The annuity liabilities are reducing each period due to cash withdrawals by contract-holders on this block of annuities that were primarily written in the late 1980s. Cash deposits from these annuity contracts are minimal compared to cash withdrawal activity. Also included in financing cash flows are net proceeds from our commission financing arrangement.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or the LP Agreement, in the event that the General Partner determines in good faith in its sole discretion that any sale, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, dividend, distribution or any other transaction or event affects the Class B Units such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the General Partner may, in the manner and to the extent that it deems reasonably appropriate, acting in good faith, adjust any or all of (i) the number of Class B Units, other ownership interests or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which awards may be made under the Plan, (ii) the number of Class B Units, other ownership interests or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards made under the Plan, (iii) the distribution level that must be achieved prior to a Class B Unit being entitled to participate in distributions for the Company or (iv) the terms of any Class B Unit that are affected by the event, in each case in a manner the General Partner reasonably deems appropriate, acting in good faith, to prevent such inappropriate dilution or enlargement.

Article VI
GENERAL PROVISIONS

6.7Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any award made hereunder is, becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or award, or would disqualify the Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable by the General Partner, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the good faith determination of the General Partner, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or award and the remainder of the Plan and any such award shall remain in full force and effect.

6.8Headings. Headings are used herein solely as a convenience to facilitate reference and shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

transferability of the Class B Units under this Agreement, the Plan, the LP Agreement and applicable law, and substantial restrictions on distributions from the Company;

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

6.1Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for the Class B Units granted to the Participant by the Company under this Agreement and for the Participant’s access to and receipt of the confidential information and trade secrets described herein, the Participant agrees to be bound by the following covenants:

(a)Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The Participant agrees that during the course of employment with Vericity, the Participant has and will come into contact with and have access to various forms of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, which are the property of Vericity. This information relates both to Vericity, its customers, vendors and its employees. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information and Trade Secrets” means all information not generally known to the public that the Participant acquires or learns of during the course of the Participant’s employment with Vericity that relates to: (i) information with respect to costs, commissions, expirations, fees, profits, sales, markets, products and product formulae, mailing lists, strategies and plans for future business, new business, product or other development, new and innovative product ideas, potential acquisitions or divestitures, and new marketing ideas; (ii) product formulations, algorithms, system designs, site maps, information processing methodologies, software, software coding methodologies, website functionality, information security processes, business methods, procedures, devices, machines, equipment, data processing programs, software computer models, research projects, system customizations, program implementation plans, and other information and means used by Vericity in the conduct of its business; (iii) the identity of Vericity’s customers and product end users, their names and addresses, the names of representatives of Vericity’s customers responsible for entering into contracts with Vericity, the amounts paid by such customers to Vericity, specific customer needs and requirements, and leads and referrals to prospective customers; and (iv) the identity and number of Vericity’s employees, their salaries, bonuses, benefits, qualifications and abilities; all of which information the Participant acknowledges and agrees has been developed, compiled or acquired by Vericity at its great effort and expense. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets can be in any form: oral, written or machine readable, including electronic files.

(b)	Secrecy of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets Essential. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Vericity is engaged in a highly competitive business and

81636080v1 November 07, 2019 1:54 PM

that its competitive position depends upon its ability to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets which were developed, compiled and acquired by Vericity over a considerable period of time and at its great effort and expense. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that any disclosure, divulging, revelation or use of any of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, other than in connection with Vericity’s business or as specifically authorized by Vericity, will be highly detrimental to Vericity, and that serious loss of business and pecuniary damage may result therefrom.

(c)

Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Participant agrees, except as specifically required in the performance of the Participant’s duties on behalf of Vericity, the Participant will not, while associated with Vericity and for so long thereafter as the pertinent information or documentation remains confidential, directly or indirectly use, disclose or disseminate to any other person, organization or entity or otherwise use any of Vericity’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets; further the Participant agrees to maintain Vericity’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in strict confidence and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to not allow any unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, Vericity’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

(d)

Return of Material. The Participant further agrees to deliver to Vericity, immediately upon resignation or separation from Vericity or at any other time Vericity so requests to return any of the following that may be in the Participant’s possession or under the Participant’s control: (i) any and all documents, files, notes, memoranda, databases, computer files and/or other computer programs reflecting any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets whatsoever, or otherwise relating to Vericity’s business; (ii) lists of Vericity’s customers or leads or referrals to prospective customers; (iii) any computer equipment, home office equipment, automobile or other business equipment belonging to Vericity which the Participant may then possess or have under the Participant’s control; and (iv) all product formulations, algorithms, system designs, site maps, information processing methodologies, software, software coding methodologies, website functionality, information security processes, business methods, procedures, devices, machines, equipment, data processing programs, software computer models, research projects, system customizations, program implementation plans and other information and means used by Vericity in the conduct of its business.

(e)

No Competitive Activity. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Vericity is engaged in a highly competitive business and that by virtue of the Participant’s position and responsibilities with Vericity and the Participant’s access to the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, engaging in any business which is directly competitive with Vericity will cause Vericity great and irreparable harm. Therefore, the Participant covenants and agrees that the Participant shall not, within the Territory, at all times (i) during the Participant’s period of employment with Vericity and (ii) during the period beginning on the date of termination of the

81636080v1 November 07, 2019 1:54 PM

Participant’s employment (whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary, for Cause or without Cause, or otherwise) and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), (1) directly or indirectly, engage in, assist, or have any active interest or involvement, whether as an employee, agent, consultant, creditor, advisor, officer, director, stockholder (excluding holding of less than 1% of the stock of a public company), partner, proprietor or any type of principal whatsoever, in any person, firm, or business entity which engages in a Competitive Business, or any person, firm, or business entity which is planning to engage in a Competitive Business; or (2) be employed in a managerial or executive capacity by any person, firm, or business entity which engages in a Competitive Business or any person, firm, or business entity which is planning to engage in a Competitive Business. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) “Competitive Business” means any business or other endeavor which engages in a business competitive with the Company, or any person, firm or business entity which is planning to engage in a business competitive with the Company and (y) “Territory” means the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of either (1) a termination by Vericity without Cause or (2) a termination by the Participant for Good Reason, “Competitive Business” shall mean any business or other endeavor that provides or engages in non-medically underwritten life insurance products or sales of life insurance products via a call center model.

(f)

Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that solely as a result of employment with Vericity, the Participant has and will come into contact with and acquire confidential information regarding some, most, or all of Vericity’s employees. Therefore, the Participant covenants and agrees that at all times during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not, either on the Participant’s own account or on behalf of any person, firm, or business entity, recruit, solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to cause any employee of Vericity with whom the Participant came into contact or about whom the Participant obtained confidential information, to leave his or her employment with Vericity, or to work in a capacity that is competitive with Vericity, or to work in a capacity that is similar to the capacity in which the employee was employed by Vericity.

(g)Non-Disparagement. The Participant covenants and agrees that at all times following the termination of the Participant’s employment with Vericity for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, in public or private, deprecate, impugn, disparage, or make any remarks that would tend to or be construed to tend to defame (collectively, “Disparage”) Vericity, its products or services, or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents; nor shall the Participant assist any other person, firm or entity in so doing. The Company shall not, and shall instruct its officers and the officers of its Subsidiaries not to, Disparage the Participant at any time following the termination of the Participant’s employment with Vericity for any reason.

6.2Specific Performance. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the Company or an Affiliate may result if the Participant breaches any covenant of the Participant contained herein and that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. Accordingly, if the Participant engages in any act in violation of the provisions of Section 6.1, the Company or an Affiliate shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law or under this Agreement, to injunctive relief to enforce such provisions.

In consideration for the Class B Units granted to the Participant by the Company under this Agreement and for the Participant’s access to and receipt of the confidential information and trade secrets described herein, the Participant agrees to be bound by the following covenants:

(a)Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The Participant agrees that during the course of Service with Vericity, the Participant has and will come into contact with and have access to various forms of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, which are the property

81636087v1 November 07, 2019 1:54 PM

of Vericity. This information relates both to Vericity, its customers, vendors and its employees. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information and Trade Secrets” means all information not generally known to the public that the Participant acquires or learns of during the course of the Participant’s Service with Vericity that relates to: (i) information with respect to costs, commissions, expirations, fees, profits, sales, markets, products and product formulae, mailing lists, strategies and plans for future business, new business, product or other development, new and innovative product ideas, potential acquisitions or divestitures, and new marketing ideas; (ii) product formulations, algorithms, system designs, site maps, information processing methodologies, software, software coding methodologies, website functionality, information security processes, business methods, procedures, devices, machines, equipment, data processing programs, software computer models, research projects, system customizations, program implementation plans, and other information and means used by Vericity in the conduct of its business; (iii) the identity of Vericity’s customers and product end users, their names and addresses, the names of representatives of Vericity’s customers responsible for entering into contracts with Vericity, the amounts paid by such customers to Vericity, specific customer needs and requirements, and leads and referrals to prospective customers; and (iv) the identity and number of Vericity’s employees, their salaries, bonuses, benefits, qualifications and abilities; all of which information the Participant acknowledges and agrees has been developed, compiled or acquired by Vericity at its great effort and expense. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets can be in any form: oral, written or machine readable, including electronic files.

(b)

Secrecy of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets Essential. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Vericity is engaged in a highly competitive business and that its competitive position depends upon its ability to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets which were developed, compiled and acquired by Vericity over a considerable period of time and at its great effort and expense. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that any disclosure, divulging, revelation or use of any of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, other than in connection with Vericity’s business or as specifically authorized by Vericity, will be highly detrimental to Vericity, and that serious loss of business and pecuniary damage may result therefrom.

(c)

81636087v1 November 07, 2019 1:54 PM

(d)Non-Disparagement. The Participant covenants and agrees that at all times following the termination of the Participant’s employment with Vericity for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, in public or private, deprecate, impugn, disparage, or make any remarks that would tend to or be construed to tend to defame (collectively, “Disparage”) Vericity, its products or services, or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents; nor shall the Participant assist any other person, firm or entity in so doing. The Company shall not, and shall instruct its officers and the officers of its Subsidiaries not to, Disparage the Participant at any time following the termination of the Participant’s employment with Vericity for any reason.

5.2Specific Performance. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the Company or an Affiliate may result if the Participant breaches any covenant of the Participant contained herein and that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. Accordingly, if the Participant engages in any act in violation of the provisions of Section 5.1, the Company or an Affiliate shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies and damages as may be available to it by law or under this Agreement, to injunctive relief to enforce such provisions.

ARTICLE VI.

(c)Termination Without Cause; Good Reason.

ARTICLE VI.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

(b)Secrecy of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets Essential. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Vericity is engaged in a highly competitive business and that its competitive position depends upon its ability to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets which were developed, compiled and acquired by Vericity over a considerable period of time and at its great effort and expense. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that any disclosure, divulging, revelation or use of any of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, other than in connection with Vericity’s business or as specifically authorized by Vericity, will be highly detrimental to Vericity, and that serious loss of business and pecuniary damage may result therefrom.

(c)Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Participant agrees, except as specifically required in the performance of the Participant’s duties on behalf of Vericity, the Participant will not, while associated with Vericity and for so long thereafter as the pertinent information or documentation remains confidential, directly or indirectly use, disclose or

81636059v1 November 07, 2019 1:53 PM

disseminate to any other person, organization or entity or otherwise use any of Vericity’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets; further the Participant agrees to maintain Vericity’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in strict confidence and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to not allow any unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, Vericity’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

(d)Return of Material. The Participant further agrees to deliver to Vericity, immediately upon resignation or separation from Vericity or at any other time Vericity so requests to return any of the following that may be in the Participant’s possession or under the Participant’s control: (i) any and all documents, files, notes, memoranda, databases, computer files and/or other computer programs reflecting any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets whatsoever, or otherwise relating to Vericity’s business; (ii) lists of Vericity’s customers or leads or referrals to prospective customers; (iii) any computer equipment, home office equipment, automobile or other business equipment belonging to Vericity which the Participant may then possess or have under the Participant’s control; and (iv) all product formulations, algorithms, system designs, site maps, information processing methodologies, software, software coding methodologies, website functionality, information security processes, business methods, procedures, devices, machines, equipment, data processing programs, software computer models, research projects, system customizations, program implementation plans and other information and means used by Vericity in the conduct of its business.

(e)No Competitive Activity. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Vericity is engaged in a highly competitive business and that by virtue of the Participant’s position and responsibilities with Vericity and the Participant’s access to the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, engaging in any business which is directly competitive with Vericity will cause Vericity great and irreparable harm. Therefore, the Participant covenants and agrees that the Participant shall not, within the Territory, at all times (i) during the Participant’s period of employment with Vericity and (ii) during the period beginning on the date of termination of the Participant’s employment (whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary, for Cause or without Cause, or otherwise) and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), (1) directly or indirectly, engage in, assist, or have any active interest or involvement, whether as an employee, agent, consultant, creditor, advisor, officer, director, stockholder (excluding holding of less than 1% of the stock of a public company), partner, proprietor or any type of principal whatsoever, in any person, firm, or business entity which engages in a Competitive Business, or any person, firm, or business entity which is planning to engage in a Competitive Business; or (2) be employed in a managerial or executive capacity by any person, firm, or business entity which engages in a Competitive Business or any person, firm, or business entity which is planning to engage in a Competitive Business. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) “Competitive Business” means any business or other endeavor which engages in a business competitive with the Company, or any person, firm or business entity which is planning to engage in a business competitive with

81636059v1 November 07, 2019 1:53 PM

the Company and (y) “Territory” means the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of either (1) a termination by Vericity without Cause or (2) a termination by the Participant for Good Reason, “Competitive Business” shall mean any business or other endeavor that provides or engages in non-medically underwritten life insurance products or sales of life insurance products via a call center model.

(f)Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that solely as a result of employment with Vericity, the Participant has and will come into contact with and acquire confidential information regarding some, most, or all of Vericity’s employees. Therefore, the Participant covenants and agrees that at all times during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not, either on the Participant’s own account or on behalf of any person, firm, or business entity, recruit, solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to cause any employee of Vericity with whom the Participant came into contact or about whom the Participant obtained confidential information, to leave his or her employment with Vericity, or to work in a capacity that is competitive with Vericity, or to work in a capacity that is similar to the capacity in which the employee was employed by Vericity.

Other‑Than‑Temporary Declines in Fair Value

The Company regularly reviews its investments portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in the fair value of an investment is other‑than‑temporary. A fixed maturity security is other-than-temporarily impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis and the Company either intends to sell the fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For all other securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired for credit reasons.

A rollforward of the cumulative credit losses on fixed maturity securities are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,

Beginning balance of credit losses on fixed maturity securities	$	828	$	828

Revenue Recognition

Because we recognize revenue prior to being entitled to the payment for these renewal commissions, we recognize a contract asset; however, we have determined that the amount of our contract asset is immaterial. Additionally, because our brokerage arrangements consist of a single performance obligation that is satisfied at the point in time that policies are placed, we do not have any remaining performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We have evaluated our arrangements and concluded that none of our brokerage arrangements include a significant financing component, and therefore do not adjust revenue for the time value of money. We have determined that any contract costs (e.g., costs to obtain or costs to fulfill) related to our brokerage arrangements are immaterial.
