Certain derivative actions were brought against the officers named in the Securities Class Action, and certain current and former directors of the Company, alleging claims relating to the matters at issue in the Securities Class Action. In February 2024, formal stipulations of settlement incorporating the substantive terms of the memoranda of understanding and detailing the proposed settlements’ operational terms were submitted for court approval. The orders approving the formal stipulations of settlement became final and non-appealable in the second and third quarters of 2024, respectively, and the Company fulfilled all of its obligations pursuant to such stipulations of settlements . The settlements are without any admission of the allegations in the complaints, which the defendants deny. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s insurers funded $ 2.8 million to an escrow account established for the purpose of paying the settlement amounts in accordance with the terms of the applicable settlement, and the Company reversed the previously recorded $ 2.8 million legal reserve within accrued expenses and other liabilities and the related $ 2.8 million receivable within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Each limited partnership investment is evaluated under applicable GAAP to determine if it is a variable interest entity (VIE) and would qualify for consolidation. Only primary beneficiaries are required or allowed to consolidate VIEs. The investments are not consolidated because the Company has no power to control the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of these entities and therefore the Company is not the primary beneficiary of any of these interests. Globe Life's involvement is limited to its limited partnership interest in the entities. The Company has not provided any other financial support to the entities beyond its commitments to fund its limited partnership interests, and there are no arrangements or agreements with any of the interests to provide other financial support. The maximum loss exposure relative to these interests is limited to their carrying value and future commitments. The Company has approximately 2 % of total assets in low-income housing tax credits and certain limited partnerships (investment funds) that qualify as unconsolidated VIEs.

The limited partnership investments are reported at the Company's pro-rata share of the investment fund's net asset value or its equivalent (NAV), as a practical expedient for fair value. Changes in the NAV are recorded in net income and increase the carrying value on the balance sheet. The amount of change in NAV attributable to the net operating results of the fund is recorded in "Net investment income" with the remaining balance of the change reflected in "Realized gains (losses)." Distributions received from the funds reduce the carrying value. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the outstanding carrying value and future funding commitments.

" Accrued investment income " also consists of interest income earned on the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, but which is yet to be received as of the balance sheet date. Accrued investment income will be placed in non-accrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent or otherwise deemed to be uncollectible by management. Any currently accrued investment income will subsequently be written off. As of December 31, 2023, the accrued interest receivable for commercial mortgage loans was $ 1.7 million. Mortgage loans generally pay interest monthly, therefore accrued interest is typically for a period of less than 30 days.

Premium income for traditional long-duration life and health insurance products is recognized evenly over the contract period and when due from the policyholder. Premiums for short-duration health contracts are recognized as revenue over the contract period in proportion to the insurance protection provided. Premiums for universal life-type and annuity contracts are added to the policy account value, and revenues for such products are recognized as charges to the policy account value for mortality, administration, and surrenders (retrospective deposit method). Life premium includes policy charges of $ 12.9 million, $ 13.5 million, and $ 14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Other premium consists of annuity policy charges in each year. For most insurance products, the related benefits and expenses are matched with revenues by means of the provision of future policy benefits and the amortization of DAC in a manner which recognizes profits as they are earned over the revenue recognition period.

The Company previously accounted for certain group Medicare supplement policies with termination clauses as long-duration contracts. The termination clause precludes the insurance policies from being guaranteed renewable contracts and accordingly should be accounted for as short-duration contracts.
