Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing was to officially announce the completion of the sale of The Hartford's Japanese subsidiary, Hartford Life Insurance KK, and to provide selected pro forma financial information that reflects the business as if this sale had occurred earlier.

The Hartford is providing pro forma financial information to give investors a clearer view of the ongoing operational performance of the company's core businesses, excluding the results and impact of the divested Japanese operations. This helps in analyzing trends and profitability without the influence of the sold segment.

The selected quarterly pro forma financial information covers the three months ended March 31, 2014, and each of the quarters in the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012.

No, the pro forma financial information is specifically prepared as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2012, and explicitly excludes any non-recurring charges or credits directly attributable to the sale itself. This means the immediate financial impact of the sale is not reflected in this particular pro forma data.
