Financial results for the first quarter of 2013 will include a deferred acquisition cost ("DAC") charge of approximately $600 million, after tax. The charge reflects the elimination of future estimated gross profits on the Japan variable annuity ("VA") block due to costs associated with the Company's expanded Japan VA hedging program.

The first quarter of 2013 will also include the previously announced charge of $140 million, after tax, associated with costs incurred in connection with the Company's $800 million debt tender offer completed in the first quarter of 2013.
