1 Based on 2022 Company data for 7,603 agents operating under our N9 and N8 Agent's Contracts in all states, without persistency bonus who were active as of December 31, 2022. N9 is the current contract for new financial professionals. N8 contracts were issued to new financial professionals prior to April 2024. Contracts determine your compensation and benefits. Sales production requirements are determined annually by the company. Historical agent incomes are provided for informational purposes only. Agent income is not guaranteed. Income is dependent upon the sales of each agent. Agent compensation is commission-based and determined through the ledger process. Overall compensation includes positive income credits for commissions based on actual sales and certain allowances or incentives, if eligible, based upon persistency and production, as well as debits associated with commission reversals, authorized expenses and other items. Each credit and debit posted to the Agent's ledger is part of determining the agent's compensation and no individual credit posted to the ledger is earned until the ledger reconciliation process is complete. Agents receive payments equal to the positive balance on the Agent's Ledger after the credits and debits are applied, except that Agents operating under an Introductory (PTAS) Contract who fail to sell through enough to trigger a full-time agent contract will be paid all commissions on any sales made in a lump sum at the end of their PTAS Contract period. Life presistency bonus removed.
