4 Executive Summary ❑ The Company has spent recent years transforming its business into a specialty health franchise with a niche group LTD, DBL and life business ❑ 2016 was a transition year as legacy businesses (e.g., stop loss) ran off and as management executed its plan to re - deploy excess capital through strategic investments in distribution and on - boarding of new distribution partnerships ❑ 2017 experiencing excellent growth in specialty health ❑ In 2018, projecting exceptional growth via: ➢ New bundled product launch with eHealth and other leading distributors (launched 9/7/17) ➢ New distribution partners ➢ Expansion of DBL block due to new paid family leave rider (PFL) as of 1/1/18 ➢ In 2018, New York State will require employers to provide job - protected paid leave to care for a new child or sick family member or to assist when someone is called to active military service. The coverage will be added, as a rider, to all existing New York DBL policies. Standard Security Life anticipates that the implementation of this coverage is expected to more than double our current $30 million DBL block. The rates for this rider are set by New York State, and as this is a new product, the underwriting profitability is unclear at this point. ➢ New STD product for Federal Employees distributed through leading carrier ➢ New pet distribution
