NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

There have been no significant changes to the following December 31, 2023 Annual Statement notes: 1(B, C1-5,C7-13),2-4,5(A-C, D(2), E-P, R), 6-7,8(A3-A7, A9), 9-10, 11(A), 12(A(1-3,5-18),B-I),13(A-C,E-M),14(B-C,E-G),15-19,21(A-B,D-H),23-24,26-36.

Continental Casualty Company (CCC or the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Continental Corporation (TCC), which is an insurance holding company which is wholly-owned by CNA Financial Corporation (CNAF). Loews Corporation (Loews) owned approximately 92% of the outstanding common stock of CNAF as of March 31, 2024.

Other related entities include American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania (ACCO), Bantry Insurance Company (BIC), CNA Insurance Company (Europe) S.A. (CICE), CNA Insurance Company Limited (CICL), Columbia Casualty Company (COL), Hardy Underwriting Bermuda Limited (Hardy), Inverin Insurance Company (IIC), National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford (NFI), Surety Bonding Company of America (SBCA), The Continental Insurance Company (CIC), The Continental Insurance Company of New Jersey (CNJ), Transportation Insurance Company (TPI), Universal Surety of America (USA), Valley Forge Insurance Company (VFI), and Western Surety Company (WSC).

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern

  1. Accounting Practices
    The accompanying financial statements of CCC have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Illinois (Illinois). Illinois requires its domiciled insurance companies to prepare statutory basis financial statements in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP), subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by Illinois. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of the statutory financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
    The Company has obtained approvals pursuant to SSAP No. 62R, Property and Casualty Reinsurance, paragraphs 87 and 88 in conjunction with its 2010 Loss Portfolio Transfer (LPT) with National Indemnity Company (NICO) further discussed in Note 23 of the 2023 Annual Statement. These approvals allow the Company to aggregate all third-party asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP) reinsurance balances administered by NICO in Schedule F and to utilize the LPT as collateral for the underlying third party reinsurance balances. In accordance with paragraph 121 of SSAP No. 62R, the impact of these approvals is a surplus benefit of $92 million.
    A reconciliation of the Company's net income and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by Illinois as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 is shown below.

  1. Accounting Policies
    6. Loan-backed securities with NAIC designations 1 and 2 are stated at amortized cost, whereas, those with NAIC designations 3 through 6 are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. However, certain legacy, non-agency loan- backed securities that closed prior to January 1, 2013 are stated at either fair value or the lower of amortized cost or fair value depending on the relationship between the amortized cost of the security and modeled price points provided by the NAIC. Non-rated residual tranches of loan-backed and structured securities are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The Company recognizes income for loan-backed securities using an effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments predominantly using the retrospective method. Unrealized gains (losses) resulting from loan-backed securities that are carried at fair value are credited or charged to unassigned surplus, net of the effects of income taxes.
  2. Going Concern
    Based upon its evaluation of relevant conditions and events, management did not have substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as of March 31, 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5 - Investments

D. Loan-backed Securities

1. Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed securities were obtained by researching broker/dealer survey values, analyzing recent trends from remittance reports, and developing internal estimates.

3.

The following table lists each loan-backed security held as of March 31, 2024, for which an OTTI loss was recognized

during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to reduce the amortized cost basis to the present value of cash flows

expected to be collected.

The following table summarizes the aggregate gross unrealized losses of loan-backed securities based on the difference

between fair value and amortized cost as of March 31, 2024.

a. The aggregate amount of unrealized losses:

1

Less than 12 months

5,368,738,691

  1. 5. The assessment of whether an OTTI loss has occurred on a loan-backed security incorporates both quantitative and qualitative information. The Company considers its intent and ability, at the reporting date, to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. The Company also considers results and analysis of cash flow modeling for loan-backed securities. The focus of the analysis for loan-backed securities is on assessing the sufficiency and quality of underlying collateral and timing of cash flows based on scenario tests.

  2. Prepayment Penalty and Acceleration Fees
    The following table provides the number of CUSIPs sold, disposed of or otherwise redeemed, and the aggregate amount of investment income generated for bonds as a result of a callable or tender offer feature for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Note 8 - Derivative Instruments

  1. Derivatives under SSAP No. 86 - Derivatives

1 & 2. The Company may use derivatives in the normal course of business, primarily in an attempt to reduce its exposure to market risk (principally interest rate risk, credit risk, equity price risk, and foreign currency risk) stemming from various assets and liabilities. The Company's principal objective under such strategies is to achieve the desired reduction in economic risk, even if the position does not receive hedge accounting treatment.

The Company may enter into interest rate swaps, futures and forward commitments to purchase securities to manage interest rate risk. The Company may use foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk.

Credit exposure associated with non-performance by the counterparties to derivative instruments is generally limited to the uncollateralized fair value of the asset related to the instruments recognized on the balance sheet. The Company generally requires that all over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement, and exchanges collateral under the terms of these agreements with its derivative investment counterparties depending on the amount of the exposure and the credit rating of the counterparty. The Company does not offset derivative positions against the fair value of collateral provided and positions subject to netting arrangements.

There was no cash collateral provided by the Company and no cash collateral received from counterparties held as of March 31, 2024. There was less than $1 million of cash collateral provided by the Company and no cash collateral received from counterparties held as of December 31, 2023.
