On August 9, 2013, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an automatic shelf registration statement (Registration
No. 333-190506) for the potential offering and sale of debt and equity securities. The registration statement allows for the following types of securities to be
offered: debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts, and stock
purchase units. In that The Hartford is a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, the registration statement went
effective immediately upon filing and The Hartford may offer and sell an unlimited amount of securities under the registration statement during the three-year
life of the registration statement.

The Company is party to a put option agreement that provides The Hartford with the right to require the Glen Meadow ABC Trust, a Delaware statutory trust,
at any time and from time to time, to purchase The Hartford’s junior subordinated notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500. Under
the Put Option Agreement, The Hartford will pay the Glen Meadow ABC Trust premiums on a periodic basis, calculated with respect to the aggregate
principal amount of notes that The Hartford had the right to put to the Glen Meadow ABC Trust for such period. The Hartford has agreed to reimburse the
Glen Meadow ABC Trust for certain fees and ordinary expenses. The Company holds a variable interest in the Glen Meadow ABC Trust where the Company
is not the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company did not consolidate the Glen Meadow ABC Trust. As of December 31, 2014, The Hartford has not
exercised its right to require Glen Meadow ABC Trust to purchase the notes. As a result, the notes remain a source of capital for the HFSG Holding Company.

On October 31, 2014, the Company entered into a senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility) that provides for up to $1.0
billion of unsecured credit through October 31, 2019, available in U.S. dollars, Euro, Sterling, Canadian dollars, and Japanese Yen, and terminated its $1.75
billion credit facility expiring January 6, 2016. As of December 31, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility
is available for general corporate purposes. Of the total availability under the Credit Facility, up to $250 is available to support letters of credit issued on
behalf of the Company or subsidiaries of the Company. Under the Credit Facility, the Company must maintain a minimum level of consolidated net worth of
$13.5 billion. The definition of consolidated net worth under the terms of the Credit Facility excludes AOCI and includes the Company’s outstanding junior
subordinated debentures and perpetual preferred securities, net of discount. In addition, the Company’s maximum ratio of consolidated total debt to
consolidated total capitalization permitted under the Credit Facility is 35%, and the maximum ratio of subsidiary debt to consolidated total capitalization is
10%. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
HLIKK previously had four revolving credit facilities in support of operations. These credit facilities were transfered with the sale of HLIKK on June 30,
2014.

On December 18, 2014 the Board of Directors revised the Company's commercial paper issuance authorization from $2.0 billion to $1.0 billion to align the
program with the Company's $1.0 billion five year revolving credit facility which became effective on October 31, 2014. On December 23, 2014, the
Company entered into an agreement with a dealer under the commercial paper program. While The Hartford's maximum borrowings available under its
commercial paper program are $1.0 billion, the Company is dependent upon market conditions to access short-term financing through the issuance of
commercial paper to investors. There is no commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2014.
