 This presentation and certain oral statements made on LNC’s behalf may contain information that includes
 or is a “forward-looking statement” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
 1995 (“PSLRA”). A forward-looking statement is a statement that does not strictly relate to a historical fact.
 A forward look statement includes any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results,
 performance or achievements, and may contain words like: “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “estimate”,
 “project”, “will”, “shall” and other words or phrases with similar meaning. LNC claims the protection afforded
 by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA.
 
 Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ
 materially from the results contained in the forward-looking statements, legislative and regulatory changes
 and proceedings, changes in interest rates, sudden or prolonged declines in the equity markets, continued
 economic decline and credit-related illiquidity, deviation in actual experience regarding future persistency,
 mortality, morbidity, interest rates or equity market returns from Lincoln’s assumptions used in pricing its
 products, in establishing related insurance reserves, and in the amortization of intangibles that may result
 in an increase in reserves and a decrease in net income; and changes in general economic or business
 conditions. These risks and uncertainties, as well others, are described in LNC’s 2008 Form 10-K, 2009
 Forms 8-K, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, LNC
 operates in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time
 and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.
 
 Further, it is not possible to assess the impact of all risk factors on LNC’s business or the extent to which
 any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
 any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undo
 reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, LNC disclaims any
 obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the
 date of this presentation.

 “We expect to repay CPP funds in the second half of 2010 or
 first half of 2011 or as market conditions dictate and without
 diluting operating earnings per share. “
Considerations:
  Regulatory and rating agency dialog around stress testing capital
 influences final funding mix
The CPP Exit Question
“…as market conditions dictate”:
  Pace of economic recovery and impact on capital conditions
  The health of the markets and overall cost of capital

Definition of Income (Loss) from Operations: Income (loss) from operations as used in this document is a non-GAAP financial measure
and is not a substitute for net income (loss) calculated using GAAP measures. Income (loss) from operations is the primary financial
measure we use to evaluate and assess our results. Our management and Board of Directors believe that this performance measure
explains the results of our ongoing businesses in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in our
current business because the excluded items are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or
future performance of the business segments, and, in most instances, decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the
operations of the individual segments. We exclude the after-tax effects of the following items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at
income (loss) from operations: realized gains and losses associated with the following ("excluded realized gain (loss)"): sale or
disposal of securities; impairments of securities; change in the fair value of embedded derivatives within certain reinsurance
arrangements and the change in the fair value of our trading securities; change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge our
guaranteed death benefit ("GDB") riders within our variable annuities, which is referred to as "GDB derivatives results"; change in the
fair value of the embedded derivatives of our guaranteed living benefit (“GLB”) riders within our variable annuities accounted for under
the Derivatives and Hedging and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics of the FASB ASC (“embedded derivative
reserves”), net of the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge the changes in the embedded derivative reserves, the
net of which is referred to as “GLB net derivative results”; and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to
index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our
indexed annuity products accounted for under the Derivatives and Hedging and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics
of the FASB ASC (“indexed annuity forward-starting option”); change in reserves accounted for under the Financial Services -
Insurance - Claim Costs and Liabilities for Future Policy Benefits Subtopic of the FASB ASC resulting from benefit ratio unlocking on
our GDB and GLB riders ("benefit ratio unlocking"); income (loss) from the initial adoption of new accounting standards; income (loss)
from reserve changes (net of related amortization) on business sold through reinsurance; gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt;
losses from the impairment of intangible assets; and income (loss) from discontinued operations.
The company uses its prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% while taking into account any permanent differences for
events recognized differently in its financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling non-GAAP measures to the
most comparable GAAP measure.
