December 31, 2006, the assets and liabilities of the Chilean insurance operations, which were held for sale, were reported in other
assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
C. Sale of Retirement Benefits Business
In 2004, the Company sold its retirement benefits business, excluding the corporate life insurance business, for cash proceeds of $2.1
billion. The sale resulted in an initial after-tax gain of $809 million, of which $267 million after-tax was recognized immediately and
the remaining amount was deferred. The Company recognized deferred gains of $3 million after-tax in 2008, $5 million after-tax in
2007 and $14 million after-tax in 2006. As of December 31, 2008, the remaining deferred gain of $33 million after-tax will be
recognized in the Company’s results of operations through 2032.
D. Sale of Individual Life Insurance and Annuity Business
In 1998, the Company sold its individual life insurance and annuity business for cash proceeds of $1.4 billion. The sale generated an
after-tax gain of approximately $800 million, the majority of which was deferred and is recognized at the rate that earnings from the
sold business would have been expected to emerge (primarily over 15 years on a declining basis). The Company recognized deferred
gains of $22 million after-tax in 2008, $25 million after-tax in 2007 and $28 million after-tax in 2006. The remaining deferred gain as
of December 31, 2008, was $108 million after-tax.
