Loews Corporation and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Loews Corporation is a holding company. Its consolidated subsidiaries are engaged in the following lines of business: commercial property and casualty insurance (CNA Financial Corporation (“CNA”), an ~~89.5%~~89.6% owned subsidiary); transportation and storage of natural gas and natural gas liquids (Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (“Boardwalk Pipelines”), a wholly owned subsidiary); and the operation of a chain of hotels (Loews Hotels Holding Corporation (“Loews Hotels & Co”), a wholly ~~owned subsidiary); and the manufacture of rigid plastic packaging solutions (Altium Packaging LLC (“Altium Packaging”), a~~ ~~99%~~ owned subsidiary). Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” as used herein means Loews Corporation including its consolidated subsidiaries, the term “Net income (loss) attributable to Loews Corporation” as used herein means Net income (loss) attributable to Loews Corporation shareholders and the term “subsidiaries” means Loews Corporation’s consolidated subsidiaries.

On April 1, 2021, Loews Corporation sold 47% of its interest in Altium ~~Packaging.~~Packaging, previously a 99% owned subsidiary. See Note 2 for further discussion.

As a result of the April 26, 2020 bankruptcy filing of Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (“Diamond Offshore”) and certain of its subsidiaries and applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Diamond Offshore was deconsolidated from Loews Corporation’s consolidated financial statements in the second quarter of 2020. Loews Corporation’s operating results for the first quarter of 2020 include the operations of Diamond Offshore. During the first quarter of 2020, Diamond Offshore recorded an aggregate asset impairment charge of $774 million ($408 million after tax and noncontrolling interests), which is reported within Operating expenses and other on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. For additional information regarding the deconsolidation of Diamond Offshore and the Diamond Offshore asset impairments, see Notes 2 and 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ~~and~~ results of operations, comprehensive ~~loss~~income (loss) and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020. Net income (loss) for the second quarter and first ~~quarter~~half of each of the years is not necessarily indicative of net income (loss) for that entire year. These Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company presents basic and diluted net income (loss) per share on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Basic net income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 there were 0 shares attributable to employee stock-based compensation awards excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding amounts because the effect would have been antidilutive.

Recently issued ASUs – In August of 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-12, “Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts.” The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the measurement and disclosure of long-duration contracts. The guidance requires entities to update annually cash flow assumptions, including morbidity and persistency, and update quarterly discount rate assumptions using an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield. The effect of changes in cash flow assumptions will be recorded in Net income and the effect of changes in discount rate assumptions will be recorded in Other comprehensive income (“OCI”). This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method or a full retrospective transition method. The guidance requires restatement of prior periods presented. The Company plans to adopt on the effective date, using the modified retrospective transition method and is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, including the increased disclosure requirements. The annual updating of cash flow assumptions is expected to increase income statement volatility. While the requirements of the new guidance represent a material change from existing accounting guidance, the underlying economics of the business and related cash flows will be unchanged.

The net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments included in the tables above are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). When presented in AOCI, these amounts are net of tax and noncontrolling interests and any required Shadow Adjustments. To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting long term care products and structured settlements not funded by annuities would result in a premium deficiency if those gains were realized, a related increase in Insurance reserves is recorded, net of tax and noncontrolling interests, as a reduction of net unrealized gains through Other comprehensive income (loss) (“Shadow Adjustments”). As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net unrealized gains on investments included in AOCI were correspondingly reduced by Shadow Adjustments of ~~$2.1~~$2.4 billion and $2.5 billion (after tax and noncontrolling interests).

Based on current facts and circumstances, the Company believes the unrealized losses presented in the ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 securities in a gross unrealized loss position table above are not indicative of the ultimate collectability of the current amortized cost of the securities, but rather are attributable to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and other factors. There is no current intent to sell securities with unrealized losses, nor is it more likely than not that sale will be required prior to recovery of amortized cost; accordingly, it was determined that there are 0 additional impairment losses to be recorded at ~~March~~ ~~31,~~June 30, 2021.

Investment Commitments

As part of the overall investment strategy, investments are made in various assets which require future purchase, sale or funding commitments. These investments are recorded once funded, and the related commitments may include future capital calls from various third-party limited partnerships, signed and accepted mortgage loan applications and obligations related to private placement securities. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021,commitments to purchase or fund were approximately ~~$1.4~~$1.3 billion and to sell were approximately ~~$100~~$95 million under the terms of these investments.

4. Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable:

●

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

●

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

●

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.

Prices may fall within Level 1, 2 or 3 depending upon the methodology and inputs used to estimate fair value for each specific security. In general, securities are priced using third party pricing services. Securities not priced by pricing services are submitted to independent brokers for valuation and, if those are not available, internally developed pricing models are used to value assets using a methodology and inputs ~~the Company believes~~that market participants presumably would use to value the assets. Prices obtained from third-party pricing services or brokers are not adjusted.

Control procedures are performed over information obtained from pricing services and brokers to ensure prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value and to confirm representations regarding whether inputs are observable or unobservable. Procedures may include: (i) the review of pricing service methodologies or broker pricing qualifications, (ii) back-testing, where past fair value estimates are compared to actual transactions executed in the market on similar dates, (iii) exception reporting, where period-over-period changes in price are reviewed and challenged with the pricing service or broker based on exception criteria and (iv) detailed analysis, where an independent analysis of the inputs and assumptions used to price individual securities is ~~performed.~~performed.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following tables. Corporate bonds and other includes obligations of the U.S. Treasury, government-sponsored enterprises, foreign governments and redeemable preferred ~~stock.~~stock.

Index

Securities may be transferred in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the availability of observable market information and quoted prices used to determine the fair value of the security. The availability of observable market information and quoted prices varies based on market conditions and trading volume.

Valuation Methodologies and Inputs

The following section describes the valuation methodologies and relevant inputs used to measure different financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the instruments are generally classified.

Fixed Maturity Securities

Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and exchange traded bonds valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 securities include most other fixed maturity securities as the significant inputs are observable in the marketplace. All classes of Level 2 fixed maturity securities are valued using a methodology based on information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, a discounted cash flow methodology or a combination of both when necessary. Common inputs for all classes of fixed maturity securities include prices from recently executed transactions of similar securities, marketplace quotes, benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, interest rates and U.S. Treasury or swap curves. Specifically for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data. Fixed maturity securities are primarily assigned to Level 3 in cases where broker/dealer quotes are significant inputs to the valuation, and there is a lack of transparency as to whether these quotes are based on information that is observable in the marketplace. Level 3 securities also include private placement debt securities whose fair value is determined using internal models with some inputs that are not market observable.

Equity Securities

Level 1 securities include publicly traded securities valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 securities are primarily valued using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions and other pricing models utilizing market observable inputs. Level 3 securities are primarily priced using broker/dealer quotes and internal models with some inputs that are not market observable.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Equity options are valued using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivatives, principally interest rate swaps, currency forwards, total return swaps, commodity swaps, equity warrants and options, are valued using inputs including broker/dealer quotes and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, depending on the amount of transparency as to whether these quotes are based on information that is observable in the marketplace.

Short Term and Other Invested Assets

Securities that are actively traded or have quoted prices are classified as Level 1. These securities include money market funds, treasury bills and exchange traded open-end funds valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 primarily includes commercial paper, for which all inputs are market observable. Fixed maturity securities purchased within one year of maturity are classified consistent with fixed maturity securities discussed above. Short term investments as presented in the tables above differ from the amounts presented in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets because certain short term investments, such as time deposits, are not measured at fair value.

Index

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of Level 3 assets. Valuations for assets and liabilities not presented in the tables below are primarily based on broker/dealer quotes for which there is a lack of transparency as to inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative detail of unobservable inputs from these broker quotes is neither provided nor reasonably available. The weighted average rate is calculated based on fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amount, estimated fair value and the level of the fair value hierarchy of the financial assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets are presented in the following tables. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of short term debt and long term debt exclude finance lease obligations. The carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for cash and short term investments not carried at fair value and certain other assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these items.

5. Claim and Claim Adjustment Expense Reserves

Property and casualty insurance claim and claim adjustment expense reserves represent the estimated amounts necessary to resolve all outstanding claims, including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims as of the reporting date. Reserve projections are based primarily on detailed analysis of the facts in each case, experience with similar cases and various historical development patterns. Consideration is given to historical patterns such as claim reserving

~~Index~~

trends and settlement practices, loss payments, pending levels of unpaid claims and product mix, as well as court decisions and economic conditions, including inflation and public attitudes. All of these factors can affect the estimation of claim and claim adjustment expense reserves.

Establishing claim and claim adjustment expense reserves, including claim and claim adjustment expense reserves for catastrophic events that have occurred, is an estimation process. Many factors can ultimately affect the final settlement of a claim and, therefore, the necessary reserve. Changes in the law, results of litigation, medical costs, the cost of repair materials and labor rates can affect ultimate claim costs. In addition, time can be a critical part of reserving determinations since the longer the span between the incidence of a loss and the payment or settlement of the claim, the more variable the ultimate settlement amount can be. Accordingly, short-tail claims, such as property damage claims, tend to be more reasonably estimable than long-tail claims, such as workers’ compensation, general liability and professional liability claims. Adjustments to prior year reserve estimates, if necessary, are reflected in the results of operations in the period that the need for such adjustments is determined. There can be no assurance that the ultimate cost for insurance losses will not exceed current estimates.

Catastrophes are an inherent risk of the property and casualty insurance business and have contributed to material period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations and/or equity. The Company reported catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, of ~~$125~~$54 million and ~~$75~~$301 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 and $179 million and $376 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Net catastrophe losses for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were related primarily ~~driven by Winter Storms Uri and Viola.~~to severe weather-related events. Net catastrophe losses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 included ~~$13~~$182 million related to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, ~~with the remaining $62~~$61 million related to civil unrest and $58 million related primarily to ~~U.S. weather~~severe weather-related events. Net catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included $195 million related to the COVID-19 pandemic, $61 million related to civil unrest and $120 million related primarily to severe weather-related events.

Net Prior Year Development

Changes in estimates of claim and claim adjustment expense reserves net of reinsurance, for prior years are defined as net prior year loss reserve development. These changes can be favorable or unfavorable.

Favorable net prior year loss reserve development of ~~$15~~$11 million and $28 million was recorded for commercial property and casualty operations (“Property & Casualty Operations”) for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 and favorable net prior year loss reserve development of $26 million and $43 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development of $40 million and $50 million was recorded for CNA’s operations outside of Property & Casualty Operations (“Other Insurance Operations”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Favorable development in surety was primarily due to lower than expected frequency and lack of systemic activity in recent accident years.

Unfavorable development in commercial auto was due to higher than expected claim severity in CNA’s construction and middle market businesses in recent accident years.

Favorable development in workers’ compensation was due to favorable medical trends driving lower than expected severity in multiple accident years.

Unfavorable development in other insurance operations was due to higher than expected emergence in mass tort exposures in older accident years primarily related to abuse.

2020

Unfavorable development in commercial auto was due to unfavorable claim severity in CNA’s middle market and construction businesses in accident years 2017 through 2019.

Favorable development in workers’ compensation was due to favorable medical ~~professional liability~~trends driving lower than expected severity in multiple accident years.

Unfavorable development in property and other was primarily due to ~~unfavorable outcomes on specific claims~~higher than expected large loss activity in CNA’s middle market, national accounts and marine business units in accident year 2019.

Asbestos & Environmental Pollution (“A&EP”) Reserves

In 2010, Continental Casualty Company (“CCC”) together with several insurance subsidiaries completed a transaction with National Indemnity Company (“NICO”), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., under which substantially all of ~~the~~their legacy A&EP liabilities were ceded to NICO through a loss portfolio transfer (“LPT”). At the effective date of the transaction, approximately $1.6 billion of net A&EP claim and allocated claim adjustment expense reserves were ceded to NICO under a retroactive reinsurance agreement with an aggregate limit of $4.0 billion. The $1.6 billion of claim and allocated claim adjustment expense reserves ceded to NICO was net of $1.2 billion of ceded claim and allocated claim adjustment expense reserves under existing third party reinsurance contracts. The NICO LPT aggregate reinsurance limit also covers credit risk on the existing third party reinsurance related to these liabilities. NICO was paid a reinsurance premium of $2.0 billion and billed third party reinsurance receivables related to A&EP claims with a net book value of $215 million were transferred to NICO, resulting in total consideration of $2.2 billion.

In years subsequent to the effective date of the LPT, adverse prior year development on A&EP reserves was recognized resulting in additional amounts ceded under the LPT. As a result, the cumulative amounts ceded under the LPT have exceeded the $2.2 billion consideration paid, resulting in the NICO LPT moving into a gain position, requiring retroactive reinsurance accounting. Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, this gain is deferred and only recognized in earnings in proportion to actual paid recoveries under the LPT. Over the life of the contract, there is no economic impact as long as any additional losses incurred are within the limit of the LPT. In a period in which a change in the estimate of A&EP reserves is recognized that increases or decreases the amounts ceded under the LPT, the proportion of actual paid recoveries to total ceded losses is affected and the change in the deferred gain is recognized in earnings as if the revised estimate of ceded losses was available at the effective date of the LPT. The effect of the deferred retroactive reinsurance benefit is recorded in Insurance claims and policyholders’ benefits on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

Index

The impact of the LPT on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations was the recognition of a retroactive reinsurance benefit of $1012 million and $1420 million for the three months ended ~~March~~June ~~31,~~30, 2021 and 2020 and $22 million and $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cumulative amounts ceded under the LPT were $3.3 billion. The unrecognized deferred retroactive reinsurance benefit was $~~388~~376 million and $398 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and is included within Other liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

NICO established a collateral trust account as security for its obligations under the LPT. The fair value of the collateral trust account was ~~$4.6 billion and $4.2~~$2.9 billion as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 ~~and December 31, 2020.~~. In addition, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. guaranteed the payment obligations of NICO up to the aggregate reinsurance limit as well as certain of NICO’s performance obligations under the trust agreement. NICO is responsible for claims handling and billing and collection from third-party reinsurers related to the majority of the ~~Company’s~~ A&EP claims.

Excess Workers’ Compensation LPT

On February 5, 2021, CNA completed a transaction with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited (“Cavello”), a subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited, under which certain legacy excess workers’ compensation (“EWC”) liabilities were ceded to Cavello. Under the terms of the transaction, based on reserves in place as of January 1, 2020, approximately ~~$690~~$690 million of net EWC claim and allocated claim adjustment expense reserves were ceded to Cavello under a loss portfolio transfer (“EWC LPT”) with an aggregate limit of ~~$1.0~~$1.0 billion. Cavello was paid a reinsurance premium of ~~$697~~$697 million, less claims paid between January 1, 2020 and the closing date of the agreement of ~~$64~~$64 million. After transaction costs, a loss of approximately $11 million (after tax and noncontrolling interest) was recognized in ~~the~~ Other Insurance Operations ~~business for~~in the ~~three months ended March 31,~~first quarter of 2021 related to the EWC LPT.

As of June 30, 2021, the cumulative amounts ceded under the EWC LPT were $690 million and the remaining amount available under the $1.0 billion aggregate limit was $310 million.

Cavello established a collateral trust account as security for its obligations, which will be maintained at 105% of outstanding reserves. ~~As of March 31, 2021, the remaining amount available under the $1.0 billion aggregate limit of the EWC LPT was $310 million on an incurred basis.~~

Credit Risk for Ceded Reserves

The majority of CNA’s outstanding voluntary reinsurance receivables are due from reinsurers with financial strength ratings of A- or higher. Receivables due from reinsurers with lower financial strength ratings are primarily due from captive reinsurers and are backed by collateral arrangements.

~~6. Debt~~

~~On February 3, 2021, Altium Packaging entered into a $1.05~~ ~~billion~~ ~~seven-year~~ ~~secured term loan. The term loan is a variable rate facility which bears interest at a floating rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of~~ ~~2.75%, subject to a~~ ~~0.5%~~ ~~LIBOR floor. The proceeds were used to pay the outstanding principal balances of its variable rate term loans and lending facility and a dividend of $200~~ ~~million~~.

~~10.~~9. Legal Proceedings

On May 25, 2018, plaintiffs Tsemach Mishal and Paul Berger (on behalf of themselves and the purported class, “Plaintiffs”) initiated a purported class action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”) against the following defendants: Boardwalk Pipelines, Boardwalk GP, LP (“General Partner”), Boardwalk GP, LLC and Boardwalk Pipelines Holding Corp. (“BPHC”) (together, “Defendants”), regarding the potential exercise by the General Partner of its right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common units representing limited partnership interests in Boardwalk Pipelines not already owned by the General Partner or its affiliates.

On June 25, 2018, Plaintiffs and Defendants entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, subject to the approval of the Court (the “Proposed Settlement”). Under the terms of the Proposed Settlement, the lawsuit would be dismissed, and related claims against the Defendants would be released by the Plaintiffs, if BPHC, the sole member of the General Partner, elected to cause the General Partner to exercise its right to purchase the issued and outstanding common units of Boardwalk Pipelines pursuant to Boardwalk Pipelines’ Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (“Limited Partnership Agreement”), within a period specified by the Proposed Settlement. On June 29, 2018, the General Partner elected to exercise its right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common units representing limited partnership interests in Boardwalk Pipelines not already owned by the General Partner or its affiliates pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement within the period specified by the Proposed Settlement. The transaction was completed on July 18, 2018.

On September 28, 2018, the Court denied approval of the Proposed Settlement. On February 11, 2019, a substitute verified class action complaint was filed in this proceeding. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which was heard by the Court in July of 2019. In October of 2019, the Court ruled on the motion and granted a partial dismissal, with certain aspects of the case proceeding to trial. A trial was held the week of February 22, 2021 and post-trial oral arguments ~~are scheduled for~~were held on July 14, 2021.

The Company is from time to time party to other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While it is difficult to predict the outcome or effect of any litigation, management does not believe that the outcome of any pending litigation, including the Boardwalk Pipelines matter described above, will materially affect the Company’s results of operations or equity.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

CNA Data Breach-related Contingency

As previously disclosed, CNA sustained a sophisticated cybersecurity attack in March of 2021 involving ransomware. CNA’s investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party copied some personal information relating to certain current and former employees, contractor workers and their dependents and certain other persons, including some policyholders. In July of 2021, CNA provided notifications to the impacted individuals and to regulators, in accordance with applicable law. CNA may be subject to subsequent investigations, fines or penalties, as well as other legal claims and actions, related to the foregoing. The likelihood is reasonably possible, but the amount of such fines, penalties or costs, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

Based on the information currently known, CNA does not believe that the March 2021 cybersecurity attack will have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition, but no assurances can be given as it continues to assess the full impact from the incident, including costs, expenses and insurance coverage.

CNA Guarantees

CNA has provided guarantees, if the primary obligor fails to perform, to holders of structured settlement annuities issued by a previously owned subsidiary. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the potential amount of future payments CNA could be required to pay under these guarantees was approximately $1.6 billion, which will be paid over the lifetime of the annuitants. CNA does not believe any payment is likely under these guarantees, as CNA is the beneficiary of a trust that must be maintained at a level that approximates the discounted reserves for these annuities.

~~12.~~11. Segments

Loews Corporationhas 4 reportable segments comprised of 3 individual consolidated operating subsidiaries, CNA, Boardwalk Pipelines and Loews Hotels & Co; and the Corporate segment. In the first quarter of 2020 Diamond Offshore was a reportable ~~segment.~~segment and was deconsolidated during the second quarter of 2020. The Corporate segment is primarily comprised of Loews Corporation excluding its subsidiaries, and the operations of Altium ~~Packaging.~~Packaging through March 31, 2021. On April 1, 2021, Loews Corporation sold 47% of its interest in Altium Packaging and as a result, Altium Packaging was deconsolidated from Loews Corporation’s consolidated financial results. Subsequent to deconsolidation, Loews Corporation’s investment in Altium Packaging is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with Equity income (loss) reported in Operating expenses and other on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations in the Corporate segment. For further discussion on the deconsolidations of Diamond Offshore ~~was deconsolidated during the second quarter of 2020.~~ and Altium Packaging see Note 2.

Net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 was ~~$261~~$754 million, or ~~$0.97~~$2.86 per share, compared to a net loss of ~~$632~~$835 million, or ~~$2.20~~$2.96 per share in the comparable 2020 period. Net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.0 billion, or $3.82 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 billion, or $5.16 per share in the comparable 2020 period.

~~Loews Corporation’s~~The three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include a gain of $438 million (after tax) related to the sale of 47% of Altium Packaging and its deconsolidation on April 1, 2021. The three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included a loss of $957 million (after tax) related to the bankruptcy filing and deconsolidation of Diamond Offshore. Excluding these significant transactions, net income for the ~~first three months~~second quarter of 2021 was driven by CNA, which had improved net investment income, net investment gains, and solid non-catastrophe current accident year property and casualty underwriting results. Boardwalk Pipelines also contributed positivelywould have been $316 million compared to ~~Loews Corporation’s 2021 quarterly results.~~

Loews Hotels & Co posted a net loss for the first three months of 2021 due to the continued negative impact on travel of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year’s first quarter results included a significant loss related to Diamond Offshore, which is no longer a subsidiary.

On April 1, 2021 Loews Corporation sold 47% of its interest in Altium Packaging for approximately $420 million in cash consideration, subject to expenses and post-closing adjustments. As a result of the terms of this transaction, Loews Corporation will share certain participating rights with GIC related to capital allocation and other decisions and is required to deconsolidate Altium Packaging as of the date of the sale under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the sale and subsequent deconsolidation, Loews Corporation expects to recognize a pretax gain of approximately $560$122 million in the second quarter of ~~2021.~~2020.

The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period, excluding these significant transactions, was driven by CNA, which reported lower net catastrophe losses, improved net investment income, and higher property and casualty underwriting results before net catastrophe losses and prior year development. Boardwalk Pipelines also contributed positively as revenues from recently completed growth projects increased from the second quarter of 2020. Loews Hotels & Co posted improved year-over-year second quarter results due to the strong rebound in travel to resort destinations. The Parent Company investment portfolio experienced lower net investment income in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the comparable prior year period.

The drivers of the improved net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable 2020 period are consistent with the three-month discussion above. In addition, during the first six months of 2020, Diamond Offshore recognized drilling rig impairment charges of $408 million (after tax and noncontrolling interests) and operating losses of $68 million (after tax and noncontrolling interests). CNA posted net investment gains during the first six months of 2021 compared to net investment losses in the comparable prior year period, and the Parent Company investment portfolio experienced higher net investment income during the first six months of 2021 compared to the comparable prior year period.

Net income attributable to Loews Corporation was ~~$279~~$330 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 as compared with ~~a net loss of $55~~$135 million in the comparable 2020 period. The ~~improvement~~increase was primarily due to ~~higher~~lower net ~~investment income, investment gains~~catastrophe losses of $54 million ($38 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 as compared ~~with investment losses~~to $301 million ($212 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) in the comparable 2020 period and improved non-catastrophe current accident year underwriting results. ~~Higher~~Net catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to severe weather-related events. Net catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $182 million related to COVID-19, $61 million related to civil unrest and $58 million related primarily to severe weather-related events.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Comparable 2020 Period

Net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $609 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with $80 million in the comparable 2020 period. The increase was primarily due to improved current accident year underwriting results, higher net investment income ~~in the first three months of 2021 was driven by limited partnership~~ and common stock returns. Investment gains were driven by the favorable relative change in the fair value of non-redeemable preferred stock and lower impairment losses. These results were partially offset by higher ~~net~~investment gains. Net catastrophe losses ~~of $125~~were $179 million ($88126 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 as compared ~~with $75~~to $376 million ($53265 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) in the comparable 2020 period. Net catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to severe weather-related events. Net catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included $195 million related to COVID-19, $61 million related to civil unrest and $120 million related primarily to severe weather-related events. Higher net investment income was driven by improved limited partnership and common stock returns and higher investment gains were driven by lower impairment losses and the favorable change in fair value of non-redeemable preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period.

CNA’s Property & Casualty and Other Insurance Operations

CNA’s commercial property and casualty insurance operations (“Property & Casualty Operations”) include its Specialty, Commercial and International lines of business. CNA’s Other Insurance Operations outside of Property & Casualty Operations include its long term care business that is in run-off, certain corporate expenses, including interest on CNA’s corporate debt, certain property and casualty businesses in run-off, including CNA Re, Asbestos & Environmental Pollution (“A~~&EP,~~&EP”), excess workers’ compensation and legacy mass tort. We believe the presentation of CNA as one reportable segment is appropriate in accordance with applicable accounting standards on segment reporting. However, for purposes of this discussion and analysis of the results of operations, we provide greater detail with respect to CNA’s Property & Casualty Operations and Other Insurance Operations to enhance the reader’s understanding and to provide further transparency into key drivers of CNA’s financial results.

~~Index~~

Effective January 1, 2021, and in connection with the ceding of certain legacy reserves under a retroactive reinsurance agreement executed in February 2021, CNA changed the presentation of a legacy portfolio of excess workers’ compensation policies relating to business written in 2007 and prior. This business, which was previously reported as part of the Commercial business, is now reported as part of the Other Insurance Operations business. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 for further information on this retroactive reinsurance agreement. In addition, a determination was made to change the presentation of certain legacy mass tort reserves. Similar to the aforementioned excess workers’ compensation legacy business, these legacy mass tort reserves were previously reported in the Commercial business and are now reported as part of the Other Insurance Operations business. These changes were made to better reflect the manner in which CNA is organized for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance. Prior period information has been conformed to the new presentation.

In assessing its insurance operations, CNA utilizes the core income (loss) financial measure. Core income (loss) is calculated by excluding from net income (loss), investment gains or losses and any cumulative effects of changes in accounting guidance. In addition, core income (loss) excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income (loss) excludes investment gains or losses because investment gains or losses are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of CNA’s primary insurance operations. Core income (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure and management believes this measure is useful for investors to evaluate its insurance operations. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation of core income (loss) to net income (loss) that follows in this MD&A.

Recent Developments

As previously disclosed, CNA sustained a sophisticated cybersecurity attack in March of 2021 involving ransomware that caused a network disruption and impacted certain of its systems. As a result, CNA’s written premium production, most notably in Commercial, was impacted by lower levels of retention and new business during the three months ended June 30, 2021. CNA has also incurred additional expenses within Other Insurance Operations related to the cybersecurity attack and expects these expenses may continue. While CNA does not believe that the March 2021 cybersecurity attack will have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition, no assurances can be given at this time as it continues to assess the full impact from the incident, including costs, expenses and insurance coverage.

Catastrophes and Related Reinsurance

Various events can cause catastrophe losses. These events can be natural or man-made, including hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, hail, severe winter weather, fires, floods, riots, strikes, civil unrest, cyber attacks, pandemics and acts of terrorism that produce unusually large aggregate losses.

Index

Catastrophes are an inherent risk of the property and casualty insurance business and have contributed to material period-to-period fluctuations in CNA’s results of operations and/or equity. CNA generally seeks to manage its exposure to catastrophes through the purchase of catastrophe reinsurance and has catastrophe reinsurance treaties that cover property and workers’ compensation losses. CNA conducts an ongoing review of its risk and catastrophe coverages and from time to time makes changes as it deems appropriate. CNA utilizes various reinsurance programs to mitigate catastrophe losses including excess-of-loss occurrence and aggregate treaties covering property and workers’ compensation, and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 (“TRIPRA”), as well as individual risk agreements that reinsure from losses from specific classes or lines of business. During the second quarter of 2021, CNA added a quota share treaty to its property reinsurance program, which covers policies written during the treaty term and in-force as of June 1, 2021. As a result of the coverage of in-force policies, net written premiums were reduced by $122 million during the quarter for the one-time catch-up under the treaty of unearned premium on policies previously written as of the June 1, 2021 treaty inception. This ceded premium will earn in future quarters consistent with the underlying gross policies. CNA also renewed its excess-of-loss property catastrophe reinsurance as described below.

Group North American Property Treaty

CNA purchased corporate catastrophe excess-of-loss treaty reinsurance covering its U.S. states and territories and Canadian property exposures underwritten in its North American and European companies. Exposures underwritten through Hardy are excluded. The treaty has a term of June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2022 and provides coverage for the accumulation of covered losses from catastrophe occurrences above CNA’s per occurrence retention of $190 million up to $900 million for all losses other than earthquakes. Earthquakes are covered up to $1.0 billion. Losses stemming from terrorism events are covered unless they are due to a nuclear, biological or chemical attack. All layers of the treaty provide for one full reinstatement.

See the Catastrophes and Related Reinsurance section of our MD&A included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information.

Property & Casualty Operations

In evaluating the results of Property & Casualty Operations, CNA utilizes the loss ratio, the loss ratio excluding catastrophes and development, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio, the combined ratio and the combined ratio excluding catastrophes and development. These ratios are calculated using GAAP financial results. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The loss ratio excluding catastrophes and development excludes net catastrophes losses and changes in estimates of claim and claim adjustment expense reserves, net of reinsurance, for prior years from the loss ratio. The expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders’ dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss, expense and dividend ratios. The combined ratio excluding catastrophes and development is the sum of the loss ratio excluding catastrophes and development, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. In addition, renewal premium change, rate, retention and new business are also utilized in evaluating operating trends. Renewal premium change represents the estimated change in average premium on policies that renew, including rate and exposure changes. Rate represents the average change in price on policies that renew excluding exposure change. For certain products within Small Business, where quantifiable, rate includes the influence of new business as well. Exposure represents the measure of risk used in the pricing of the insurance product. Retention represents the percentage of premium dollars renewed in comparison to the expiring premium dollars from policies available to renew. Renewal premium change, rate and retention presented for the prior period are updated to reflect subsequent activity on policies written in the period. New business represents premiums from policies written with new customers and additional policies written with existing customers. Gross written premiums, excluding third party captives, represents gross written premiums excluding business which is ceded to third party captives, including business related to large warranty programs.

Specialty’s combined ratio improved ~~2.5~~16.3 points for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period due to a 1.4 point improvement in the expense ratio and a 1.1 point improvement in the loss ratio. The improvement in the loss ratio was primarily due to higher favorable net prior year loss reserve development and lower net catastrophe losses. The improvement in the expense ratio was driven by higher net earned premiums.

Commercial’s combined ratio increased 5.1 points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period due to a 6.9 point increase in the loss ratio, partially offset by a 1.8 point improvement in the expense ratio. The increase in the loss ratio was primarily due to higher net catastrophe losses, which were 13.4 points of the loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared with 7.0 points of the loss ratio in the comparable 2020 period. The improvement in the expense ratio was driven by favorable acquisition expenses and higher net earned premiums.

~~International’s combined ratio improved 4.0 points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period due to a 3.0~~14.3 point improvement in the loss ratio and a ~~1.0~~2.0 point improvement in the expense ratio. The improvement in the loss ratio was driven by lower net catastrophe losses, which had a minimal impact on the loss ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with being 15.0 points of the loss ratio for the comparable 2020 period, and improved non-catastrophe current accident year underwriting results. The improvement in the expense ratio was driven by a favorable ~~commission rates~~acquisition ratio and higher net earned premiums.

Commercial’s combined ratio improved 12.3 points for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period. The loss ratio improved 10.7 points driven by lower net catastrophe losses, which were 5.8 points of the loss ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with 19.0 points of the loss ratio in the comparable 2020 period. The combined ratio excluding catastrophes and development improved 0.2 points for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period, reflecting a 1.6 point improvement in the expense ratio largely offset by a 1.4 point increase in the loss ratio excluding catastrophes and development. The improvement in the expense ratio was primarily due to higher net earned premiums. The increase in the loss ratio excluding catastrophes and development was driven by lower loss frequency as a result of shelter in place restrictions in the second quarter of 2020.

Index

International’s combined ratio improved 22.3 points for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the comparable 2020 period due to a 19.1 point improvement in the loss ratio and a 3.2 point improvement in the expense ratio. The improvement in the loss ratio was driven by lower net catastrophe losses, which were 0.8 points of the loss ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with 19.9 points of the loss ratio in the comparable 2020 period, and improved non-catastrophe current accident year underwriting results. The improvement in the expense ratio was driven by higher net earned premiums and lower acquisition costs.

well as the timing and amount of dividends paid in the preceding 12 months. Additionally, ordinary dividends may only be paid from earned surplus, which is calculated by removing unrealized gains from unassigned surplus. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, CCC was in a positive earned surplus position. CCC paid dividends of ~~$330~~$480 million and ~~$670~~$815 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020. The actual level of dividends paid in any year is determined after an assessment of available dividend capacity, holding company liquidity and cash needs as well as the impact the dividends will have on the statutory surplus of the applicable insurance company.

Certain of the hotels wholly or partially owned by Loews Hotels & Co are financed by debt facilities, with a number of different lenders. Each of the loan agreements underlying these facilities contain a variety of financial and operational covenants. As a result of the impacts of COVID-19, Loews Hotels & Co has proactively requested certain lenders, where applicable, to (1) temporarily waive certain covenants to avoid an event of default and/or further restriction of the hotel’s cash balances through the establishment of lockboxes and other measures; (2) temporarily allow funds previously restricted directly or indirectly under the hotel’s underlying loan agreement for the renewal, replacement and addition of building improvements, furniture and fixtures to be used instead for hotel operations and maintenance; and/or (3) defer certain interest and/or principal payments while the hotels operations ~~are~~were temporarily suspended or significantly impacted by a decline in occupancy. Loews Hotels & Co also continues to work with lenders on loans that are being reviewed for extension. These discussions with lenders are ongoing and may require Loews Hotels & Co to make principal paydowns or provide guaranties of a subsidiary’s debt to otherwise avoid an event of default.

Duration

A primary objective in the management of CNA’s investment portfolio is to optimize return relative to the corresponding liabilities and respective liquidity needs. CNA’s views on the current interest rate environment, tax regulations, asset class valuations, specific security issuer and broader industry segment conditions as well as domestic and global economic conditions, are some of the factors that enter into an investment decision. CNA also continually monitors exposure to issuers of securities held and broader industry sector exposures and may from time to time adjust such exposures based on its views of a specific issuer or industry sector.

A further consideration in the management of CNA’s investment portfolio is the characteristics of the corresponding liabilities and the ability to align the duration of the portfolio to those liabilities and to meet future liquidity needs, minimize interest rate risk and maintain a level of income sufficient to support the underlying insurance liabilities. For portfolios where future liability cash flows are determinable and typically long term in nature, CNA segregates investments for asset/liability management purposes. The segregated investments support the long term care and structured settlement liabilities in Other Insurance Operations.

The effective durations of CNA’s fixed income securities and short term investments are presented in the following table. Amounts presented are net of payable and receivable amounts for securities purchased and sold, but not yet settled.

CNA’s investment portfolio is periodically analyzed for changes in duration and related price risk. Certain securities have duration characteristics that are variable based on market interest rates, credit spreads and other factors that may drive variability in the amount and timing of cash flows. Additionally, CNA periodically reviews the sensitivity of the portfolio to the level of foreign exchange rates and other factors that contribute to market price changes.

Risks Related to Us and Our Subsidiary, CNA Financial Corporation (“CNA”)

Any significant interruption in the operation of CNA’s business functions, facilities and systems or its vendors’ facilities and systems could result in a materially adverse effect on its operations.

CNA’s business is highly dependent upon its ability to perform, in an efficient and uninterrupted manner, through its employees or vendor relationships, necessary business functions, ~~(such~~such as internet support and 24-hour call ~~centers),~~centers, processing new and renewal business and processing and paying claims and other obligations.

Index

CNA’s, or its vendors’, facilities and systems could become unavailable, inoperable, or otherwise impaired from a variety of causes, including natural events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, earthquakes, severe winter weather and fires, or other events, such as explosions, terrorist attacks, computer security breaches or cyber attacks, riots, hazardous material releases, medical epidemics or pandemics, utility outages, interruptions of CNA’s data processing and storage systems or the systems of third-party vendors, or unavailability of communications facilities. An interruption of CNA’s system availability occurred in March of 2021 as a result of a cybersecurity attack sustained by CNA. Please refer to the immediately following risk factor for further information regarding this incident.

Likewise, CNA could experience a significant failure, interruption or corruption of one or more of its vendors’ information technology, telecommunications, or other systems for various reasons, including significant failures or interruptions that might occur as existing systems are replaced or upgraded. The shut-down or unavailability of one or more of CNA’s or its vendors’ systems or facilities for these and other reasons could significantly impair CNA’s ability to perform critical business functions on a timely basis.

In addition, because CNA’s information technology and telecommunications systems interface with and depend on third-party systems, CNA could experience service denials if demand for such service exceeds capacity or a third-party system fails or experiences an interruption. If sustained or repeated, such events could result in a deterioration of CNA’s ability to write and process new and renewal business, provide customer service, pay claims in a timely manner, or perform other necessary business functions, including the ability to issue financial statements in a timely manner.

~~Index~~

The foregoing risks could also expose CNA to monetary and reputational damages. Potential exposures resulting from the March of 2021 cybersecurity attack, described in the immediately following risk factor, as well as any future incidents may include substantially increased compliance costs, ~~and required~~as well as increased costs relating to investments in computer system ~~upgrades~~ and security-related ~~investments.~~upgrades, with those costs potentially not recoverable under relevant insurance coverage. If CNA’s business continuity plans or system security do not sufficiently address these risks, they could have a material adverse effect on CNA’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Based on the information currently known, CNA does not believe that the March of 2021 cybersecurity attack will have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial ~~condition. However,~~condition, but no assurances can be given as it continues to assess the full impact from the incident, including costs, expenses and insurance coverage. CNA may also be subject to future incidents that could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition or may result in operational impairments and financial losses, as well as significant harm to its reputation.

Any significant breach in CNA’s data security infrastructure could disrupt business, cause financial losses and damage its reputation, and insurance coverage may not be available for claims related to a breach.

A significant breach of CNA’s data security infrastructure may result from actions by its employees, vendors, third-party administrators, or unknown third parties or through cyber attacks. The risk of a breach can exist whether software services are in CNA’s data centers or CNA uses cloud-based software services.

Such a breach could affect CNA’s data framework or cause a failure to protect the personal information of its customers, claimants or employees, or sensitive and confidential information regarding its business and may result in operational impairments and financial losses, as well as significant harm to its reputation. The breach of confidential information also could give rise to legal liability and regulatory action under data protection and privacy laws, as well as evolving regulation in this regard. Any such breach of CNA’s data security infrastructure could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

CNA sustained a sophisticated cybersecurity attack in March of 2021 involving ransomware that caused a network disruption and impacted certain of its systems. ~~Promptly upon~~Upon detection, CNA undertook steps to address the incident, including engaging a team of third-party forensic experts and notifying law enforcement and key regulators. ~~As of the date of this report,~~ CNA ~~has~~ restored network systems and resumed normal operations. CNA is continuing to assess ~~the full extent of the impact from the incident, as well as determining any additional~~all actions that it ~~may~~will take to improve its existing systems.

In addition, the misuse, or perceived misuse, of sensitive or confidential information regarding its business or policyholders could cause harm to CNA’s reputation and result in the loss of business with existing or potential customers, which could adversely impact its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Although CNA maintains cybersecurity insurance coverage insuring against costs resulting from cyber attacks (including the ~~attack described above)~~March 2021 attack), it is possible losses may exceed the amount available under CNA’s coverage ~~and~~and/or its coverage policy may not cover all losses. Costs and expenses incurred and likely to be incurred by CNA in connection with the March 2021 attack include both direct and indirect costs and not all may be covered by its insurance coverage. In addition, potential disputes with its insurers about the availability of insurance coverage for claims relating to the March 2021 attack or any future incident could occur. Further, both as a result of the March 2021 attack and industry trends generally, the replenishment of CNA’s current policy through the end of the term, as well as future cybersecurity insurance coverage beyond the current term, may be difficult to obtain ~~or may~~and will likely only be available at significantly higher ~~costs to CNA.~~cost.

Risks Related to Us and Our Subsidiaries Generally

Failures or interruptions in or breaches to our or our subsidiaries’ computer systems could materially and adversely affect our or our subsidiaries’ operations.

We and our subsidiaries are dependent upon information technologies, computer systems and networks, including those maintained by us and our subsidiaries and those maintained and provided to us and our subsidiaries by third parties (for example, “software-as-a-service” and cloud solutions), to conduct operations and are reliant on technology to help increase efficiency in our and their businesses. We and our subsidiaries are dependent upon operational and financial computer systems to process the data necessary to conduct almost all aspects of our and their businesses. Any failure of our or our subsidiaries’ computer systems, or those of our or their customers, vendors or others with whom we and they do business, could materially disrupt business operations.

Computer, telecommunications and other business facilities and systems could become unavailable or impaired from a variety of causes, including cyber attacks or other cyber incidents, storms and other natural disasters, terrorist attacks, fires, utility outages, theft, design defects, human error or complications encountered as existing systems are replaced or upgraded. Cyber attacks and other cyber incidents are occurring more frequently, are constantly evolving in nature, are becoming more sophisticated and are being carried out by groups and individuals with a wide range of expertise and motives. The U.S. government has issued public warnings that indicate energy assets may be specific targets of cyber attacks, which can have catastrophic consequences, and hotel chains, among other consumer-facing businesses, have been subject to various cyber attacks targeting payment card and other sensitive consumer information. Cyber attacks and cyber incidents take many forms, including cyber extortion, denial of service, social engineering, introduction of viruses or malware, exploiting vulnerabilities in hardware, software or other infrastructure, hacking, website defacement, theft of passwords and other credentials, unauthorized use of computing resources for digital currency mining and business email compromise. CNA was recently subjected to a cybersecurity incident. For additional information about this CNA incident see “Risks Related to Us and Our Subsidiary, CNA Financial Corporation” above under this Part II, Item 1A.

Index

As with other large companies, we and our subsidiaries have experienced cyber attacks and other cyber incidents and expect this to continue. If we and our subsidiaries do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to continue to build and maintain our and their information technology security infrastructure, or if we fail to timely identify or appropriately respond to cyber attacks or other cyber incidents, then this may disrupt our and our subsidiaries’ operations, cause significant damage to our or their assets and surrounding areas, cause loss of life or serious bodily injury, impact our or their data framework or cause a failure to protect personal information of customers or employees.

The foregoing risks relating to disruption of service, interruption of operations and data loss could impact our and our subsidiaries’ ability to timely perform critical business functions, resulting in disruption or deterioration in our and our subsidiaries’ operations and business and expose us and our subsidiaries to significant financial losses and monetary and reputational damages. In addition, potential exposures include substantially increased compliance costs and required computer system upgrades and security related investments. The breach of confidential information also could give rise to legal liability and regulatory action under data protection and privacy laws and regulations, both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
