Restructuring Costs and Other Charges
As part of the integration of Travelers’ operations, management approved and initiated plans to reduce approximately 1,000 domestic
and international Travelers positions, which was completed in December 2006. MetLife initially recorded restructuring costs, including
severance, relocation and outplacement services of Travelers’ employees, as liabilities assumed in the purchase business combination of
$49 million. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liability for restructuring costs was reduced by $4 million and $1 million,
respectively, due to a reduction in the estimate of severance benefits to be paid to Travelers employees. The restructuring costs associated
with the Travelers acquisition were as follows:

involved in the distribution of annuity products and retirement plans to the education, healthcare, and not-for-profit markets, for $56 million,
of which $2 million was allocated to goodwill and $54 million to other identifiable intangibles, specifically the value of customer relationships
acquired, which has a weighted average amortization period of 16 years. CitiStreet Associates was integrated with MetLife Resources, a
