Likewise, the Company is sometimes named as a cross-defendant in litigation, which is principally directed against an insured who was issued a policy of insurance directly or indirectly through the Company. Incidental actions related to disputes concerning the issuance or non-issuance of individual policies are sometimes brought by customers or others. These items are also handled on a routine basis by the Company’s counsel, and they do not generally affect the operations of the Company. Management is confident that the ultimate outcome of pending litigation should not have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. The Company vigorously defends itself unless a reasonable settlement appears appropriate.

Loss and loss adjustment expenses: Vesta has recorded liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses of $281.0 million at December 31, 2001. Vesta maintains property-casualty loss reserves to cover the estimated ultimate unpaid liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses with respect to reported and unreported claims incurred. Reserves do not represent an exact calculation of the ultimate liability, but instead represent estimates, generally utilizing actuarial projection techniques. These reserve estimates are expectations of what the ultimate settlement and administration of claims will cost based on an assessment of facts and circumstances then known, review of historical settlement patterns, estimates of trends in claims severity and frequency, estimates of reinsurance recoverables, estimates of salvage and subrogation and other factors. Vesta believes its liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses is adequate, however given the inherent uncertainty in reserve estimates, there can be no assurance that the ultimate amount of actual losses will not exceed the related amounts currently estimated. Furthermore, any such differences, either positive or negative, could have a material effect on our results of operations and could be material to our financial position.

White Mountains reported income tax benefit of $33 million in 2016 on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $147 million. White Mountains’s effective tax rate was different from the 2016 U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a full valuation allowance on all of the net deferred tax assets at U.S. operations including a $21 million tax benefit generated by the sale of Tranzact recognized in continuing operations related to the reversal of a valuation allowance that resulted from income that was recognized within discontinued operations, income generated in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States and a tax benefit recorded at BAM related to its MSC collected. For BAM, MSC collected and the related taxes thereon are recorded directly to non-controlling interest equity, while the valuation allowance on such taxes is recorded through the income statement. As a result, BAM recorded a tax benefit of $11 million associated with the valuation allowance on taxes related to MSC collected that is included in the effective tax rate.

However, there remains unavoidable uncertainty due to Brexit, and in particular, a no-deal Brexit. The Group has well established plans for an orderly Brexit however there are impacts of a no-deal Brexit that are difficult to plan for and which could be disruptive. The degree of market disruption, and hence volatility, as a result of a no-deal Brexit is difficult to predict but our teams have processes in place to support the smooth and orderly governance of our funds should there be a disruption to pricing or liquidity of underlying assets.

As of December 31, 2005, both Federated National and American Vehicle were in compliance with all regulatory requirements. However, as a result of the hurricanes striking Florida in August and September 2004, we were technically not in compliance with certain regulatory requirements. To retain our certificates of authority, Florida insurance laws and regulations require that our insurance company subsidiaries, Federated National and American Vehicle, maintain capital surplus equal to the greater of 10% of its liabilities or the 2004 statutory minimum capital and surplus requirement of $4.00 million as defined in the Florida Insurance Code. As of December 31, 2004, Federated National was not in compliance with its requirement to maintain minimum capital surplus primarily based on the incurred losses associated with the four hurricanes that occurred in August and September 2004. Under the provisions afforded Federated National according to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No 72 titled “Surplus and Quasi-reorganizations”, compliance with this provision was restored by way of a surplus infusion from 21st Century. American Vehicle remains in compliance with statutory minimum capital and surplus requirement. The insurance companies are also required to adhere to prescribed premium-to-capital surplus ratios. As of December 31, 2004, Federated National did not comply with the prescribed premium-to-capital surplus ratio, primarily based on the incurred losses associated with the four hurricanes that occurred in August and September 2004. Under the provisions afforded Federated National according to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No 72, compliance with this provision was also restored. American Vehicle remains in compliance with statutory premium-to-capital surplus ratios.

In 2016, total large losses incurred increased by $24 million, or 14 percent, net of reinsurance. The corresponding ratio increased 0.7 percentage points. The 2016 increases on both a dollar and ratio basis were primarily due to higher amounts for our commercial casualty and commercial property lines of business. In 2015, total large losses incurred and the corresponding ratio was lower than it was in 2014, largely due to a lower amount of large losses for our commercial casualty and commercial property lines of business. Our analysis indicated no unexpected concentration of these losses and reserve increases by geographic region, policy inception, agency or field marketing territory. We believe the inherent volatility of aggregate loss experience for our portfolio of larger policies is greater than that of our portfolio of smaller policies, and we continue to monitor the volatility in addition to general inflationary trends in loss costs.

Additionally, ILFC recorded impairment charges, fair value adjustments and lease-related charges of $1.7 billion in each of 2011 and 2010. The impairment charges in 2011 resulted from unfavorable trends affecting the residual values of certain aircraft types. In monitoring the aircraft in ILFC's fleet for impairment charges on an on-going basis, ILFC considers facts and circumstances such as projected lease rates and terms, residual values, overhaul rental realization and aircraft holding periods. These items are considered in determining whether ILFC would need to modify its assumptions used in its recoverability assessments. In addition to these factors, ILFC considered its newly acquired end-of-life management capabilities from its acquisition of AeroTurbine and its impact on ILFC's strategy, as well as potential sales. While ILFC's overall business model has not changed, its expectation of how it may manage out-of-production aircraft, or aircraft that have been affected by new technology developments, changed due to the AeroTurbine acquisition. The result of the overall assessment based on ILFC's updated assumptions and management's change in its end-of-life strategy for older generation aircraft indicated that the book value of certain aircraft were not fully recoverable and these aircraft were deemed impaired. The aircraft impaired were primarily out-of-production aircraft, or aircraft that have been impacted by new technology developments.

Benefits, Claims and Settlement Expenses. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 17%, from $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $6.3 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily associated with better mortality experience in the current period, which resulted in lower claims activity.

The percentage of claims unpaid at December 31, 2012 for each accident year reflects both the speed at which claims and claim expenses for each accident year have been paid and our estimate of claims and claim expenses for that accident year. As seen above, claims and claim expenses for the 2006 and prior accident years have generally been paid, with 2001 having 4.4% remaining unpaid. This is driven in part by the mix of our business, which primarily included property catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance for personal lines property coverage, rather than commercial property coverage or retrocessional coverage, and the speed of the settlement and payment of claims by our underlying cedants. In contrast, our 2001 accident year, which includes losses from the events of September 11, 2001, includes a higher mix of commercial business and retrocessional coverage where the underlying claims of our cedants tend to be settled and paid more slowly. In addition, our 2007 accident year has also paid out more slowly due to increased complexity surrounding claims of our underlying cedants as a result of the notable losses during 2007, including European windstorm Kyrill. As noted in the table above, the percentage of claims and claims expenses unpaid as of December 31, 2012 related to more recent years, such as 2009 through 2012, range from 17.6% to 80.6%, which higher percentages are driven by the recency of these accident years, combined with the complexity surrounding claims of our underlying cedants and the nature of the events, such as the 2010 and 2011 New Zealand earthquakes, the Tohoku earthquake and storm Sandy.

UTI and FCC established a deferred compensation plan during 1993 pursuant to which an officer or agent of FCC, UTI or affiliates of UTI, could defer a portion of their income over the next two and one-half years in return for a deferred compensation payment payable at the end of seven years in the amount equal to the total income deferred plus interest at a rate of approximately 8.5% per annum and a stock option to purchase shares of common stock of UTI. At the beginning of the deferral period an officer or agent received an immediately exercisable option to purchase 2,300 shares of UTI common stock at $17.50 per share for each $25,000 ($10,000 per year for two and one-half years) of total income deferred. The option expires on December 31, 2000. A total of 105,000 options were granted in 1993 under this plan. As of December 31, 1998 no options were exercised. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company held a liability of $1,494,520 and $1,376,384, respectively, relating to this plan. At December 31, 1998, UTI common stock had a market price of $8.125 per share.

Net losses and loss expenses. Net losses and loss expenses increased by $76.5 million, or 72.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in net losses and loss expenses was primarily the result of increased storm activity during 2008 partially offset by higher net favorable reserve development. Loss activity in the current period’s business included estimated losses and loss expenses of $6.0 million for flooding in the U.S. Midwest, $27.2 million for a gas pipeline explosion in Australia, $14.1 million for Hurricane Gustav and $60.0 million for Hurricane Ike.

We discussed and checked all this in our meetings in March, May and September on the basis of verbal reports from the Management Board and writtenmaterial. In two cases, the Supervisory Board passed written resolutions on this. In addition to its ordinary meetings, the Standing Committee twice took decisions through themedium of telephone conference calls. One of the decisions dealt with the conclusion of a settlement with those shareholders who had started actions in law to contest themerger. In the settlement that was reached the plaintiffs agreed to withdraw their actions in consideration for our assuming their lawyers’ costs, so that these actions nomore stood in the way of the merger and transformation of the company.

Merrill Lynch Life’s investment in collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) had a carrying value of $20.3 million and $41.3 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2003, approximately 94% of Merrill Lynch Life’s CMO and MBS holdings were fully collateralized by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. CMO and MBS securities are structured to allow the investor to determine, within certain limits, the amount of interest rate risk, prepayment risk and default risk that the investor is willing to accept. It is this level of risk that determines the degree to which the yields on CMO and MBS securities will exceed the yields that can be obtained from corporate securities with similar credit ratings.

Historically, adjusted operating income included the net impact of both the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities associated with our living benefit features and the change in fair value of the related derivative hedge positions, as well as the related impact to the amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs. In light of management’s decision to change the hedge target, as discussed above, in the third quarter of 2010, we amended our definition of adjusted operating income to exclude changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and the related derivative hedge positions, as well as the related amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs. The net impact of both the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities associated with our living benefit features and the change in fair value of the related derivative hedge positions are included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net and related adjustments” and the related impact to the amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs is included in “Related charges.” See “-Consolidated Results of Operations-Segment Measures” for additional information.

Additionally in the Program division, the Company changed its strategies within its Workers' Compensation underwriting activities during 1996. In 1995 and previous years, the Company had followed a strategy of depopulating assigned risk pools through the application of intensive case management techniques with risks which had become unacceptable to the standard market due to frequency rather than severity. With the improvement of workers' compensation results for the industry as a whole, more companies were willing to write workers' compensation, and therefore, the number of risks fitting the Company's profile for removal from assigned risk pools was substantially depleted. During 1996, the Company moved to a strategy of partnership arrangements with select agencies in which the agent accepts part of the underwriting risk in return for an enhanced profit sharing from the Company. Due to the competitive market, this strategy is developing slowly, and, thus, the Company experienced a 65% decrease in its direct written premiums in this line of business. This transition phase caused the expense ratio in this line of business to increase more than 100%, and resulted in an underwriting loss for this line of business.

In November 2012, ING Insurance restructured the IABF to effectively delink ING Insurance US from the IABF. ING Insurance US transferred its Dutch State receivable of approximately EUR 1.1 billion (USD 1.4 billion) to ING Bank, and at the same time transferred legal title to 80% of the Alt-A portfolio to ING Bank. The securities were held in an ING Bank custody account for the benefit of the Dutch State (the portion for which the investment risk has been transferred to the Dutch State). Following the restructuring, ING Insurance US continues to own 20% of the Alt-A portfolio (the portion for which the economic ownership and investment risk remains for the risk of ING), but will going forward have the right to sell these securities, subject to a right of first refusal granted to ING Bank. ING has committed to the Dutch State that it will not sell these securities to non-ING parties without the prior written consent of the Dutch state.
