Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Business: (Globe Life), (the Company), refers to Globe Life Inc., an insurance holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1979, and Globe Life Inc. subsidiaries and affiliates. Globe Life Inc.'s direct or indirect primary subsidiaries are Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company, American Income Life Insurance Company, Liberty National Life Insurance Company, Family Heritage Life Insurance Company of America, and United American Insurance Company. The underwriting companies are owned by their ultimate corporate parent, Globe Life Inc. (Parent Company).

Globe Life provides a variety of life and supplemental health insurance products to a broad base of customers. The Company is organized into three reportable segments: life insurance, supplemental health insurance, and investments.

Globe Life markets its insurance products through a number of distribution channels, each of which sells the products of one or more of Globe Life's insurance segments. Our distribution channels consist of the following exclusive agencies: American Income Life Division (American Income), Liberty National Division (Liberty National) and Family Heritage Division (Family Heritage); an independent agency, United American Division (United American); and our Direct to Consumer Division (DTC).

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Globe Life have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position at June 30, 2025, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that were included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2025.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See further documentation in the significant accounting policies or the accompanying notes.

Reinsurance and Recapture: In the normal course of business, Globe Life insurance subsidiaries will enter into reinsurance agreements to limit their exposure to the risk of loss as well as enhance their capital position. The Company entered into a coinsurance transaction with funds withheld agreement with a third-party reinsurer on March 6, 2025, with an agreement effective date of January 1, 2025. Under the terms of the agreement Globe Life ceded 100% of the liabilities, net of existing reinsurance, associated with certain term and whole life insurance policies. The contract is accounted for under deposit accounting as it did not pass the risk transfer requirements for reinsurance treatment on a GAAP basis. Since the agreement is subject to deposit accounting and meets the right of offset conditions outlined in the accounting policy the Company recorded the initial coinsurance, ceding commission and funds withheld balance on a net basis. At inception, no cash was exchanged between the parties and subsequently, a risk charge was recorded as a component of net investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, with net cash settlements occurring quarterly between the parties.

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a recapture and termination agreement with a third-party reinsurer to recapture certain policies that had previously been ceded under a reinsurance agreement dated November 12, 2001. The recapture was executed to accomplish common objectives between the Company and the reinsurer. As a result of the transaction, the Company received net proceeds of $39 million, which are reflected as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company also recognized a gain of approximately $14 million in policyholder benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 2—New Accounting Standards

Accounting Pronouncements Yet to be Adopted: ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, adds disclosure requirements to disaggregate information related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The disclosures will enhance the assessment of an entity’s operations and related tax risks.

This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and will be implemented on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the standard will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The guidance requires only additional disclosure, as a result there will be no effects on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, adds disclosure requirements to disaggregate information related to an entity's income statement. The disclosures will allow for enhanced transparency of an entity's expenses.

This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027. The Company is evaluating the standard.

The following table presents changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in accumulated other comprehensive income for assets held at the end of the reporting period for Level 3 classification:

Transfers between levels within the hierarchy occur when there are changes in the observability of the inputs and market data. Transfers into Level 3 occur when there is little unobservable market activity for the asset/liability as of the measurement date and the Company is required to rely upon internally-developed assumptions or third parties. Transfers out of Level 3 occur when quoted prices in active markets becomes available for identical assets/ liabilities or the ability to corroborate by observable market data.

The following table represents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements:

Private placement fixed maturities $ 418,397 Determination of credit spread Credit rating B to AAA BBB+
Asset-backed securities 32,593 Determination of credit spread Credit rating CC to BBB BB+
$ 450,990

(1)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

Private placement fixed maturities and asset-backed securities are valued based on the contractual cash flows discounted by a yield determined as a treasury benchmark rate adjusted for a credit spread. The credit spread is developed from observable indices for similar securities and unobservable indices for private securities or private comparable securities for corresponding credit ratings. The credit ratings for the securities may be considered unobservable inputs, as they are private letter ratings issued by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or are assigned by the third-party investment manager based on a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit underwritten. A higher (lower) credit rating would result in a higher (lower) valuation. For more information regarding valuation procedures, please refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies under the caption Fair Value Measurements, Investments in Securities disclosed in the Form 10-K.

Gross unrealized losses may fluctuate quarter over quarter due to factors in the market that affect our holdings, such as changes in interest rates or credit spreads. The Company considers many factors when determining whether an allowance for a credit loss should be recorded. While the Company holds securities that may be in an unrealized loss position from time to time, Globe Life does not generally intend to sell and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturities prior to their anticipated recovery or maturity due to the strong cash flows generated by its insurance operations.

The following tables are reflective of the key factors, debt service coverage ratios, and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios that are utilized by management to monitor the performance of the portfolios. The Company only makes new investments in commercial mortgage loans that have a LTV ratio less than 80%. LTV ratios that exceed 80% are generally a result of decreases in the valuation of the underlying property. Generally, a higher LTV ratio and a lower debt service coverage ratio equates to higher risk of loss.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 37 loans in the portfolio. During the quarter, the Company evaluated the commercial mortgage loan portfolio on both an individual and pooling basis to determine the allowance for credit losses and determined four loans were collateral dependent or likely to foreclose. The allowance for credit losses on these loans was determined using the practical expedient which was based on an estimate of fair value of the underlying collateral plus costs to sell the asset. The total principal balance of the four loans was $49 million and the allowance, determined using the practical expedient, was $3 million as of June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, one loan with an outstanding principal value of $2 million was removed from the evaluation as a result of foreclosure. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, two loans with an outstanding principal value of $5 million were removed from the evaluation as a result of foreclosure and were transferred into limited partnerships, held under the fair value option, in other long-term investments. As of June 30, 2025, there were two commercial mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure, with an outstanding par value of $41 million and outstanding interest due of $0. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses decreased by $1 million to $6.6

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees: At June 30, 2025, Globe Life had no guarantee agreements which were either Parent Company guarantees of subsidiary obligations to a third party or Parent Company guarantees of obligations between wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Letters of credit—The Parent Company has guaranteed letters of credit with a group of banks in connection with its credit facility. The letters of credit were issued by TMK Re, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to secure TMK Re, Ltd.’s obligation for claims on certain policies reinsured by TMK Re, Ltd. that were sold by other Globe Life insurance subsidiaries. These letters of credit facilitate TMK Re, Ltd.’s ability to reinsure the business of Globe Life's insurance carriers. The credit facility was amended on March 29, 2024 and now expires in 2029. The maximum amount of letters of credit available is $250 million. The Parent Company would be liable to the extent that TMK Re, Ltd. does not pay the reinsured party. The amount of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2025 was $115 million.

Litigation: Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, are subject to litigation, including: putative class action litigation; alleged breaches of contract; torts, including bad faith and fraud claims based on alleged wrongful or fraudulent acts of agents of the Parent Company's insurance subsidiaries; alleged employment discrimination; alleged worker misclassification; and miscellaneous other causes of action. Based upon information presently available, and in light of legal and other factual defenses available to the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that such litigation will have a material adverse effect on Globe Life Inc.'s financial condition, future operating results or liquidity; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future. This bespeaks caution, particularly in states with reputations for high punitive damage verdicts.

On November 30, 2023, Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiary, American Income Life Insurance Company, received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeking documents relating to sales practices by certain independent sales agents contracted to sell American Income Life Insurance Company policies. Globe Life Inc. and American Income Life Insurance Company cooperated fully in responding to the Department of Justice’s requests. On July 28, 2025, the Department of Justice informed the companies that it had closed its investigation. The closing of the investigation means the Department of Justice will not be taking enforcement action against Globe Life Inc. or American Income Life Insurance Company.

In April 2024, Globe Life Inc. received an inquiry from the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office requesting information related to recent short seller reports making allegations about Globe Life Inc. Globe Life Inc. provided information in response to the SEC’s requests and cooperated fully with the SEC. On July 24, 2025, SEC staff notified Globe Life Inc. that they had concluded their investigation and, based on the information gathered, did not intend to recommend an SEC enforcement action against Globe Life Inc.

On April 30, 2024, a putative securities class action was filed against Globe Life Inc. and six of its current/former executives and directors in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (City of Miami Gen. Emp. & Sanitation Emp. Ret. Trust, et al. v. Globe Life Inc., et al., Case No. 4:24-cv-00376). On July 24, 2024, the Court appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel for the putative class of shareholders. The Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Complaint on October 4, 2024 that asserts claims under §§ 10(b), 20(a), and 20(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(b), and 10b-5(c) promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Globe Life Inc.'s securities from May 8, 2019 through April 10, 2024. The Consolidated Complaint adds four additional executives as defendants and alleges that certain of Globe Life Inc.'s disclosures about financial performance and certain other public statements during the putative class period were materially false or misleading. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the litigation on December 3, 2024. Globe Life Inc. plans to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. Pursuant to Globe Life Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with the named defendants, Globe Life Inc. has agreed to indemnify those defendants for all expenses and losses related to the litigation, subject to the terms of those indemnification agreements. The outcome of litigation of this type is inherently uncertain, and there is always the possibility that a Court rules in a manner that is adverse to the interests of Globe Life Inc. and the individual defendants. However,

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

the amount of any such loss in that outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Further, management cannot reasonably estimate whether an outcome on the putative class action will be resolved in the near term.

Also pending in the Eastern District of Texas is a consolidated shareholder derivative suit that is closely related to the putative securities class action disclosed above (the “City of Miami Matter”). On November 7, 2024, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Jui Cheng Hsiao filed a shareholder derivative complaint against Globe Life Inc. as a nominal defendant, as well as certain current and former Globe Life Inc. executives and members of its Board of Directors. On November 14, 2024, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Gautam Jadhav filed a shareholder derivative complaint against the same set of defendants. Each shareholder derivative complaint asserts one claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the individual defendants and alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Globe Life Inc. by causing or permitting Globe Life Inc. to make misleading statements about its performance and financial results. The allegations are substantially similar to the allegations made in the City of Miami Matter and derive from a short seller report. On November 25, 2024, the two shareholder plaintiffs moved to consolidate the two actions into one action and the Court granted the motion on January 3, 2025 (In re Globe Life Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 4:24-cv-00993-ALM (E.D. Tex.)). The case is before the same Court as the City of Miami Matter. On January 16, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion to stay such proceedings pending the Court’s resolution of the motion to dismiss filed by Globe Life Inc. in the City of Miami Matter. The Court granted such joint motion to stay the proceedings on January 25, 2025.

On September 26, 2024, Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiary, American Income Life Insurance Company, were notified by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that the EEOC conducted an investigation of charges filed against Globe Life Inc. and/or American Income Life Insurance Company by five former sales agents and one then-current sales agent. The EEOC asserts that there is reasonable cause to believe the six complainants were employees, not independent contractors, of Globe Life Inc. and/or American Income Life Insurance Company and were discriminated against on the basis of sex, and that one complainant was also discriminated against on the basis of race. In addition, the EEOC asserts that there is reasonable cause to believe that a class of female workers were employees, not independent contractors, and were subject to unlawful conduct which also constitutes a pattern-or-practice of discrimination. The EEOC’s investigative findings are not binding on Globe Life Inc. The EEOC’s procedures provide for a conciliation process that has concluded without achieving a resolution. The EEOC may elect to file a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of the workers based on the alleged statutory violations. The EEOC has not filed any legal proceedings at this time. In the event the EEOC elects to pursue any claims in court, Globe Life Inc. intends to defend against any such lawsuit vigorously. The outcome of litigation of this type would be inherently uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated or determined at this time. There is always the possibility that a Court rules in a manner that is adverse to the interests of Globe Life Inc.

Credit facility: Globe Life has in place a credit facility which provides for a $1 billion revolving credit facility that may be increased to $1.25 billion. The credit facility matures March 29, 2029 and may be extended up to two one-year periods upon the Company's request. Pursuant to this agreement, the participating lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to Globe Life and to issue secured or unsecured letters of credit. The Company has not drawn on any of the credit to date.

The facility is further designated as a back-up credit line for a commercial paper program under which the Company may either borrow from the credit line or issue commercial paper at any time, with total commercial paper outstanding not to exceed the facility maximum of $1 billion, less any letters of credit issued. Interest is charged at variable rates. In accordance with the agreement, Globe Life is subject to certain covenants regarding capitalization.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants.

Federal Home Loan Bank: FHLB membership provides certain of our insurance subsidiaries with access to various low-cost collateralized borrowings and funding agreements. The membership requires ownership of FHLB common stock, as well as the purchase of activity-based common stock equal to approximately 4.1% of outstanding borrowings.

Globe Life owned $33 million in FHLB common stock as of June 30, 2025 and $34 million as of December 31, 2024. The FHLB stock is restricted from redemption or repurchases for the duration of the membership and recorded at cost (par) as required by applicable guidance. The FHLB stock is included in "Other long-term investments" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Borrowings with the FHLB are subject to the availability of pledged assets at the insurance subsidiaries of Globe Life. As of June 30, 2025, Globe Life's insurance subsidiaries' maximum borrowing capacity under the FHLB facility was approximately $649 million, net of outstanding funding agreements and short-term borrowings, on pledged assets with a fair value of $1.3 billion. As of June 30, 2025, $397 million in funding agreements were outstanding with the FHLB, compared to $372 million as of December 31, 2024. This amount is included in "Other policyholders' funds" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 12—Business Segments

Globe Life is organized into three operating segments: life, health, and investments.

Globe Life's reportable insurance segments are based on the insurance product lines it markets and administers: life insurance and supplemental health insurance. There is also an investment segment that manages the investment portfolio and cash flow for the insurance segments. The Company's chief operating decision makers ("CODM"), our Co-CEOs, evaluate the overall performance of the operations of the Company in accordance with these segments.

During the fourth quarter of 2024 we entered into a coinsurance agreement to cede a majority of the annuity business to a third-party insurer. This impacted a significant portion of our annuities which had previously been classified as one of our reportable segments. The annuity segment has historically represented less than 1% of revenue and has not been core to the Company's business. We adjusted our segments from four down to three at December 31, 2024. All quarterly presentations of segment information related to prior year have been recast for the periods presented to reflect this change in segments.

Life insurance products marketed by Globe Life include traditional whole life and term life insurance. Health insurance products are generally guaranteed renewable and include Medicare Supplement, cancer, critical illness, accident, and other limited-benefit supplemental hospital and surgical products.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in 2024 which added disclosure requirements to segment expenses, improving the financial reporting of the entity’s overall performance and assessment of future cash flows. The disclosures required more detailed information related to the entity’s reportable segments and the new disclosures are also required prospectively on a quarterly basis. The prior-year presentation has been recast to reflect the new disclosures in accordance with this adopted accounting standard.

The following tables present segment premium revenue by each of Globe Life's distribution channels.

Due to the nature of the life insurance industry, Globe Life has no individual or group that would be considered a major customer. Substantially all of Globe Life's business is conducted in the United States.

The measure of profitability established by the CODM for the insurance segments is underwriting margin before other income and administrative expenses, in accordance with the manner in which the segments are managed. It essentially represents gross profit margin on insurance products before insurance administrative expenses and consists primarily of premium less net policy benefits, acquisition expenses, and commissions. Required interest on policy liabilities is reflected as a component of the Investment segment (rather than as a component of underwriting margin in the insurance segment) in order to match this cost with the investment income earned on the assets supporting the policy liabilities.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

The measure of profitability for the Investment segment is excess investment income, representing the net income earned on the investment portfolio in excess of policy requirements. Other than the required interest on the insurance segments, no other intersegment revenues or expenses are recognized. Expenses directly attributable to corporate operations are included in the “Corporate & Other” category. Stock-based compensation expense is considered a corporate expense by Globe Life management and is included in this category. All other unallocated revenues and expenses on a pretax basis, including insurance administrative expense and interest on debt, are also included in the “Corporate & Other” segment category.

Globe Life holds a sizable investment portfolio to support its insurance liabilities, the yield from which is used to offset policy benefit, acquisition, administrative, and tax expenses. This yield or investment income is taken into account when establishing premium rates and profitability expectations for its insurance products. From time to time, investments are sold or called, or experience a credit loss event, each of which are reflected by the Company as realized gain (loss)—investments. These gains or losses generally occur as a result of disposition due to issuer calls, compliance with Company investment policies, or other reasons often beyond management’s control. Unlike investment income, realized gains and losses are incidental to insurance operations, and only overall yields are considered when setting premium rates or insurance product profitability expectations. While these gains and losses are not relevant to segment profitability or core operating results, they can have a material positive or negative result on net income. For these reasons, management removes realized investment gains and losses when it views its segment operations.

Management also removes non-operating items unrelated to the Company's core insurance activities when evaluating those results. Therefore, these items are excluded in its presentation of segment results because accounting guidance requires that operating segment results be presented as management views its business. All of these items are included in “Other operating expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the appropriate year. See additional detail below in the tables.

Note 13—Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2025, Globe Life entered into a 30-year facility agreement (“Facility Agreement”) with a Delaware Trust (the “Trust”) to complete the issuance and sale of 500 thousand of Pre-Capitalized Trust Securities redeemable May 15, 2055 (the “P-Caps”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million in a private placement. On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a facility agreement with the Trust that grants the Company the right to require the Trust to purchase from the Company’s 6.580% Senior Notes due 2055 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding and held by the Trust, of up to $500 million. We agreed to pay a semi-annual facility fee of 1.789% per annum on the unexercised portion of the issuance right which will be expensed as incurred. The costs that are directly attributable to the debt issuance will be capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of the facility agreement. Approximately, $7 million of direct transaction costs associated with the P-Caps facility will be capitalized as part of the arrangement. P-Caps provide the Company with a source of liquidity, the proceeds of which, if drawn, would be used for general corporate purposes.

On July 3, 2025, Globe Life Inc. completed the acquisition of real estate located in McKinney, Texas for total consideration of $80 million. The acquisition was executed in order to support Company growth and efficiency through modern technological infrastructure and centralized operations. The acquisition includes land, a building structure and building improvements. The transaction was executed pursuant to a purchase agreement and will be accounted for as an asset acquisition. The building will be depreciated over its estimated useful life of 40 years on a straight-line basis. The Company expects to utilize the facility for its own operational needs.

Results of Operations

How Globe Life Views Its Operations. Globe Life Inc. is the holding company for a group of insurance companies that market primarily individual life and supplemental health insurance to lower middle to middle-income households throughout the United States. We view our operations by segments, which are the insurance product lines of life and supplemental health, and the investment segment that supports the product lines.
Insurance Product Line Segments. The insurance product line segments involve the marketing, underwriting, and administration of policies. Each product line is further subdivided by the various distribution channels that market the insurance policies. Each distribution channel operates in a niche market offering insurance products designed for that particular market. Whether analyzing profitability of a segment as a whole, or the individual distribution channels within the segment, the measure of profitability used by management is the underwriting margin, as seen below:
Premium revenue<br><br>(Policy obligations)<br><br>(Policy acquisition costs and commissions)<br><br>Underwriting margin
Investment Segment. The investment segment involves the management of our capital resources, including investments and the management of liquidity. Our measure of profitability for the investment segment is excess investment income, as seen below:
Net investment income<br><br>(Required interest on policy liabilities)<br><br>Excess investment income

Current Highlights.

•Net income as a return on equity (ROE) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 18.8% and net operating income as an ROE, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income(1) was 14.4%.

•Total premium increased 5% over the same period in the prior year. Life premium increased 3% for the period from $1.62 billion in 2024 to $1.67 billion in 2025.

•Total net sales increased 6% over the same period in the prior year from $415 million in 2024 to $439 million in 2025. The average producing agent count across all of the exclusive agencies increased 4% over the prior year.

•Book value per share increased 14% over the same period in the prior year from $58.06 to $66.07. Book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income(1), increased 10% over the prior year from $82.38 in 2024 to $90.26 in 2025.

•For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 3.3 million shares of Globe Life Inc. common stock at a total cost of $403 million for an average share price of $121.38.

The following graphs represent net income and net operating income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(1)As shown in the charts above, net operating income is primarily comprised of insurance underwriting margin plus excess investment income and annuity and other income, offset by operating expenses after tax and, as such, is considered a non-GAAP measure. It has been used consistently by Globe Life's management for many years to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. It differs from net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized gains and losses and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Net operating income as an ROE, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), is considered a non-GAAP measure. Management utilizes this measure to view the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. The impact of the adjustment to exclude AOCI is $(2.0) billion and $(2.2) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Book value per share, excluding AOCI, is also considered a non-GAAP measure. Management utilizes this measure to view the book value of the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. The impact of the adjustment to exclude AOCI is $(24.19) and $(24.32) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Summary of Operations.

•Net income totaled $507 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $513 million in the same period in 2024.

•On a diluted per common share basis, net income per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased 10% from $5.51 to $6.07.

•Net operating income was $530 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $535 million for the same period in 2024.

•On a diluted per common share basis, net operating income per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $5.76 to $6.34, a 10% increase.

Net operating income is primarily comprised of insurance underwriting margin plus excess investment income and annuity and other income, offset by operating expenses, after tax and, as such, is considered a non-GAAP measure. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We do not consider realized gains and losses to be a component of our core insurance operations or operating segments. Additionally, net income was affected by certain non-operating items. We do not view these items as components of core operating results because they are not indicative of past performance or future prospects of the insurance operations. We remove items such as these that relate to prior periods or are non-operating items when evaluating the results of current operations, and therefore exclude such items from our segment analysis for current periods.

As previously noted, a component of insurance underwriting margin is policy obligations, which includes for each reporting period the change in the liability for future policy benefits ("LFPB"). The LFPB is determined each reporting period based on the net level premium method. Net level premiums reflect a recomputed net premium ratio using actual experience since the issue date, and expected future experience based on future cash-flow assumptions See Note 6—Policy Liabilities for additional information.

Overall, the Company continues to see positive signs in its core operations, including sales and premium growth, and continues to achieve an operating ROE (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income) generally in the mid-teens.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Globe Life's operations on a segment-by-segment basis are discussed in depth below. Net operating income has been used consistently by management for many years to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. It differs from GAAP net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized gains and losses and other significant and unusual items included in net income. Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company’s business. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

The life insurance segment is our primary segment and is the largest contributor to earnings in each period presented. The life insurance segment underwriting margin increased $48 million compared with the prior period, primarily a result of increased premiums and favorable policy obligations as a percent of premium. Excess investment income declined $16 million compared with the prior period, partly due to lower earned yields on commercial mortgage loans, limited partnerships and short term investments. The health segment experienced higher policy obligations and declined $11 million in the first six months of 2025 with $183 million of underwriting margin compared with $194 million in the first six months of 2024.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

The discussions of our segments are presented in the manner we view our operations, as described in Note 12—Business Segments.

We use three measures as indicators of premium growth and sales over the near term: “annualized premium in force,” “net sales,” and “first-year collected premium.”

•Annualized premium in force is defined as the premium income that would be received over the following twelve months at any given date on all active policies if those policies remain in force throughout the 12-month period.

•Net sales is calculated as annualized premium issued, net of cancellations generally in the first 30 days after issue, except in the case of Direct to Consumer, where net sales is annualized premium issued at the time the first full premium is paid after any introductory offer period (typically one month) has expired. Management considers net sales to be a better indicator of the rate of premium growth than annualized premium issued since annualized premium issued excludes cancellations, and cancellations do not contribute to premium income.

•First-year collected premium is defined as the premium collected during the reporting period for all policies in their first policy year. First-year collected premium takes lapses into account in the first year when lapses are more likely to occur, and thus is a useful indicator of how much new premium is expected to be added to premium income in the future. First-year collected premiums are lower than net sales over the prior 12 months because premiums are not collected on lapsed policies after the date of lapse.

Cancellations are not included in lapses.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

A discussion of life operations by distribution channel follows.

The American Income Life Division markets to members of labor unions and other affinity groups and continues to diversify its lead sources, utilizing internally generated leads, third-party internet vendor leads and referrals to facilitate sustainable growth. This Division is Globe Life's largest contributor of life premium of any distribution channel at 53% of the Company's June 30, 2025 total life premium. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the average monthly life premium issued per policy was $59 as compared to $57 for the same period in the prior year. Net sales were $195 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, up from $192 million in the year-ago period. The underwriting margin, as a percent of premium, was 45% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The average producing agent count increased 3% over the year-ago period. The increase in average producing agent count was driven by an increase in new agent recruiting along with continued improvement in new agent retention. Sales growth in this Division, as well as within our other exclusive agencies, is generally dependent on growth in the size of the agency force.

Below is the average producing agent count as of the indicated periods for the American Income Life Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year.

At June 30, Change
2025 2024 Amount %
American Income 11,876 11,504 372 3

American Income Life continues to focus on growing and strengthening the agency force, specifically through emphasis on agency middle-management growth and additional agency openings. In addition to offering financial incentives and training opportunities, the Division has made considerable investments in information technology, including a customer relationship management (CRM) tool for the agency force. This tool is designed to provide dashboards and drive productivity in lead distribution, conservation of business, and new agent recruiting. Additionally, this Division has invested in and successfully implemented technology that allows the agency force to engage in virtual recruiting, training, and sales activity. The agents have shifted to primarily a virtual experience with the customers and have generated a vast majority of sales through virtual presentations. We find this flexibility to be enticing for new recruits as well as a driver of retention in our agency force.

The Direct to Consumer Division (DTC) markets adult and juvenile life insurance through a variety of channels, including direct mail, insert media, and digital marketing. The different media channels support and complement one another in the Division's efforts to provide consumer outreach. All three channels work as part of an omnichannel approach. Sales from the internet and inbound phone calls continue to outpace the activity from direct mail. DTC's long-term growth has been fueled by consistent innovation and brand awareness. Additionally, the DTC Division provides valuable support to our agency business through brand impressions and inquiries that lead to sales in our exclusive agency channels. New initiatives are continuously introduced to help increase response rates, issue rates, and create a seamless customer experience. The juvenile insurance market is an important source of sales as well as a vehicle to reach the parents and grandparents of existing juvenile insureds, who are more likely to respond favorably to a direct to consumer solicitation for life coverage on themselves in comparison to the general adult population. Additionally, future offerings to parents and grandparents for adult and juvenile insurance are sources of lower acquisition-cost life insurance sales in the future.

DTC net sales declined 5% to $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $59 million for the same period in the prior year. This decline is due primarily to an intentional reduction of direct mail and print insert marketing activity because of the impact of inflation on postage, paper and online advertising costs. We reported higher net sales in the second quarter of 2025, which were up 24% from the first quarter of the year, resulting from our initiatives noted above. While total year to date sales have declined compared to the prior year, the focus has been on improving profitability and improving underwriting margin. DTC’s underwriting margin was $133.2 million and 27% as a percent of premium for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $122.4 million and 25% as a percent of premium for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the average monthly life premium issued for DTC adults was $17 as compared to $15 for the same period in the prior year.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

The Liberty National Division markets individual life insurance to middle-income household and worksite customers. Recent investments in new sales technologies as well as recent growth in middle management within the Division are expected to support increased sales. Underwriting margin and premium were up 6% from the year ago period at $65 million and $193 million respectively. The underwriting margin as a percent of premium was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2025, at 34% compared to the year-ago period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the average monthly life premium per policy issued rose slightly compared to the prior year to $44 from $43.

Below is the average producing agent count for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for the Liberty National Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year.

The Liberty National Division's average producing agent count increased when compared with the prior-year comparable period. This Division continues to execute a long-term plan to grow through expansion from small-town markets in the Southeast to more densely populated areas with larger pools of potential agent recruits and customers in the communities, regions, and cities the Liberty National Division serves. Expansion of this Division’s presence in larger geographic cities, with less penetrated areas will help create long-term sustainable agency growth. Additionally, the Division continues to help improve the ability of agents to develop new worksite marketing business. A CRM platform and enhanced analytical capabilities have helped the agents develop additional worksite marketing opportunities and improve the productivity of agents selling in the individual life market. As the Division gains momentum in its sales and recruiting initiatives, advances in technology and use of the CRM platform, it anticipates continued growth in recruiting activity, average producing agent count, and net sales.

The Other agency distribution channels primarily include non-exclusive independent agencies selling primarily life insurance. The Other distribution channels contributed $101 million of life premium income, or 6% of Globe Life's total life premium income in the six months ended June 30, 2025, and contributed 2% of net sales for the period.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Health insurance sold by the Company primarily includes Medicare Supplement insurance as well as retiree health insurance, accident coverage, and other limited-benefit supplemental health products such as cancer, critical illness, heart disease, intensive care, and other health products.

Health premium accounted for 31% of our total premium in 2025, while the health underwriting margin accounted for 21% of total underwriting margin. Health underwriting margin declined to $183 million compared to $194 million in the prior year. While the Company continues to emphasize life insurance sales relative to health, due to life’s superior long-term profitability and its greater contribution to excess investment income, the health business provides a significant contribution to return on equity as it does not require a substantial amount of up-front capital.

First-year collected premium from Medicare Supplement policies make up the remaining $35.3 million, or 31%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $29.8 million, or 28%, in the same period in the prior year.

A discussion of health operations by distribution channel follows.

The United American Division consists of non-exclusive independent agencies who may also sell for other companies. The United American Division was Globe Life's largest health agency in terms of health premium income, with net sales up 53% from the same period in the prior year.

This Division includes different units:

•UA General Agency, which primarily sells individual Medicare Supplement insurance through independent agents;

•Special Markets, which markets retiree health insurance to employer and union groups through brokers; and

•Globe Life Group Benefits, which offers group worksite supplemental health insurance through brokers.

The majority of the premium revenue comes from Medicare Supplement. Underwriting margin as a percent of premium for the Division was 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 10% for the same period in 2024. The decline in underwriting margin as a percent of premium when compared to prior year is primarily attributable to increased claims utilization during the current year from Medicare Supplement. We adjust premium rates based upon an annual review of utilization and claim cost trends and submit revisions for approval to the insurance department regulators, and if approved, the new premium rates generally become effective in the following year.

The Family Heritage Division primarily markets limited-benefit supplemental health insurance to small- to medium- sized businesses. Most of its policies include a return of premium feature, where premium paid is returned less any claims paid to the policyholder at the end of a specified period stated within the insurance policy. Underwriting margin as a percent of premium was 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The Division experienced a 14% rise in health net sales as compared with the same six-month period a year ago, primarily due to increased agent count and increased agent productivity. The Division will continue to implement incentive and retention programs to further these increases in the number of producing agents.

Below is the average producing agent count at the end of the period for the Family Heritage Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year. The average producing agent count increased 10% compared with the same period a year ago. Along with the Division's increased efforts to grow agent count, it is also focused on the further training and development of its middle management. While growth in net sales and earned premium is impacted by agent productivity, growth in the number of producing agents will be the primary driver of future growth in sales, similar to our other exclusive agencies.

The Liberty National Division represented 13% of all Globe Life health premium income for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Liberty National Division markets limited-benefit supplemental health products, consisting primarily of cancer, critical illness, and accident insurance. Much of Liberty National's health business is generated through worksite marketing targeting small businesses. Health premium at the Liberty National Division was $95.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 up from $95.3 million for the same period in 2024. Liberty National's first-year collected premium fell 1% to $14.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $14.1 million for the same period in 2024. Health net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 fell 4% from the comparable period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, underwriting margin as a percent of premium was 53%, compared with 56% in the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in policy obligations in the current period.

While both the American Income Life Division and the Direct to Consumer Division sell life insurance, they also market health products. The American Income Life Division primarily markets accident plans. The Direct to Consumer Division primarily markets Medicare Supplement insurance to employer or union-sponsored groups. On a combined basis, these other channels accounted for 13% of health premium for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 14% for the same period in 2024.

INVESTMENTS

We manage our capital resources, including investments and cash flow, through the investment segment. Excess investment income represents the profit margin attributable to investment operations and is the measure that we use to evaluate the performance of the investment segment as described in Note 12—Business Segments. It is defined as net investment income less the required interest attributable to policy liabilities.

Management views excess investment income per diluted common share as an important and useful measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as excess investment income divided by the total diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, representing the contribution by the investment segment to the consolidated earnings per share of the Company.

(1)Interest on policy liabilities, at original rates, is a component of total policyholder benefits, a GAAP measure.

Excess investment income declined $16 million, or 18%, compared with the year-ago period. Excess investment income per diluted common share was $0.85 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 9% from the prior-year period. Excess investment income per diluted common share generally increases or decreases at a different pace than excess investment income because the number of diluted shares outstanding generally decreases from year to year as a result of our share repurchase program.

Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $563 million, or 1% less than the year-ago period. Mean invested assets increased 1% during the first six months of 2025 over the same period last year. Net investment income declined in the current period primarily due to lower earned yields on short-term investments, commercial mortgage loans and limited partnerships compared to the prior year. The effective annual yield rate earned on the fixed maturity portfolio was 5.27% in the first six months of 2025, compared to 5.26% a year earlier. In addition to fixed maturities, the Company has also invested in commercial mortgage loans and limited partnerships with debt-like characteristics that diversify risk and enhance risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted returns on the portfolio. The earned yield on the Company's commercial mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 5.62% compared with 8.47% in the prior year period. The lower earned yield on commercial mortgage loans is partly due to lower floating rates in addition to loans in non-accrual status. The earned yield on limited partnership investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 7.60% and 8.90% in the comparable prior year period. See additional information in Note 4—Investments.

Globe Life's net investment income benefits from higher interest rates on new investments. While increasing interest rates have resulted in a net unrealized loss from our available-for-sale debt securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2025, we are not concerned because we do not generally intend to sell, nor is it likely that we will be required to sell, the fixed maturities prior to their anticipated recovery.

Required interest on insurance policy liabilities reduces excess investment income, as it is the amount of net investment income necessary to cover the interest-related growth on insurance policy liabilities. As such, it is reclassified from the insurance segment to the investment segment. As discussed in Note 12—Business Segments, management regards this as a more meaningful analysis of the investment and insurance segments. Required interest is based on the original discount rate assumptions for our insurance policies in force.

The vast majority of our life and health insurance policies are fixed interest rate protection policies, not investment products, and are accounted for under current GAAP accounting guidance for long-duration insurance products which mandates that interest rate assumptions for a particular block of business be “locked in” for the life of that block of business. Each calendar year, we set the original discount rate to be used to calculate the benefit reserve liability for all insurance policies issued that year. The liability reported on the balance sheet is updated in subsequent periods using current discount rates as of the end of the relevant reporting period with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income.

GL Q2 2025 FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

Globe Life Inc.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

The discount rate used for policies issued in the current year has no impact on the in force policies issued in prior years, as the rates of all prior issue years are also locked in for purposes of recognizing income. As such, the overall original discount rate for the entire in force block of 5.6% is a weighted average of the discount rates being used from all issue years. Changes in the overall weighted-average discount rate over time are caused by changes in the mix of the reserves on the entire block of in force business. Business issued in the current year has little impact on the overall weighted-average original discount rate due to the size of our in force business.

In comparison to the year-ago period, required interest on insurance policy liabilities increased $10 million, or 2%, to $492 million, consistent with the 2% growth in average interest-bearing insurance policy liabilities.

Realized Gains and Losses. Our life and health insurance companies collect premium income from policyholders for the eventual payment of policyholder benefits, sometimes paid for many years or even decades in the future. Since benefits are expected to be paid in future periods, premium receipts in excess of current expenses are invested to provide for these obligations. For this reason, we hold a significant investment portfolio as a part of our core insurance operations. This portfolio consists primarily of high-quality fixed maturities containing an adequate yield to provide for the cost of carrying these long-term insurance product obligations. As a result, fixed maturities are generally held for long periods to support these obligations. Expected yields on these investments are taken into account when setting insurance premium rates and product profitability expectations.

Despite our intent to hold fixed maturity investments for a long period of time, investments are occasionally sold, exchanged, called, or experience a credit loss event, resulting in a realized gain or loss. Gains or losses are only secondary to our core insurance operations of providing insurance coverage to policyholders. The Company also has investments in certain limited partnerships, held under the fair value option, with fair value changes recognized in Realized gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Realized gains and losses can be significant in relation to the earnings from core insurance operations, and as a result, can have a material positive or negative impact on net income. The significant fluctuations caused by gains and losses can cause period-to-period trends of net income that are not indicative of historical core operating results or predictive of the future trends of core operations. Accordingly, they have no bearing on core insurance operations or segment results as we view operations. For these reasons, and in line with industry practice, we remove the effects of realized gains and losses when evaluating overall insurance operating results.

The following table summarizes our tax-effected realized gains (losses) by component.

Investment Acquisitions. Globe Life's investment policy calls for investing primarily in investment grade fixed maturities that meet our quality and yield objectives. We generally invest in securities with longer-term maturities because they more closely match the long-term nature of our life and health policy liabilities. We believe this strategy is appropriate since our expected future cash flows are generally stable and predictable and the likelihood that we will need to sell invested assets to raise cash is low.

The following table summarizes selected information for fixed maturity investments. The effective annual yield shown is based on the acquisition price and call features, if any, of the securities. For non-callable bonds, the yield is calculated to maturity date. For callable bonds acquired at a premium, the yield is calculated to the earliest known call date and call price after acquisition ("first call date"). For all other callable bonds, the yield is calculated to maturity date.

(1)Fixed maturity acquisitions included unsettled trades of $0 in 2025 and $0 in 2024.

(2)Tax-equivalent basis, where the yield on tax-exempt securities is adjusted to produce a yield equivalent to the pretax yield on taxable securities.

For investments in callable bonds, the actual life of the investment will depend on whether the issuer calls the investment prior to the maturity date. Given our investments in callable bonds, the actual average life of our investments cannot be known at the time of the investment. Absent sales and "make-whole calls," however, the average life will not be less than the average life to next call and will not exceed the average life to maturity. Data for both of these average life measures is provided in the above chart.

Acquisitions in 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of corporate and municipal bonds with securities spanning a diversified range of issuers, industry sectors, and geographical regions. In the first six months of 2025, we invested primarily in the industrial, financial, and utility sectors. For the entire portfolio, the taxable equivalent effective yield earned was 5.27%, up approximately 1 basis point from the yield in the first six months of 2024. The increase in taxable equivalent effective yield was primarily due to new purchases at yields exceeding the yield on dispositions and the average portfolio yield. For the remainder of 2025, the Company will continue to execute on its existing strategy by seeking to invest in assets that satisfy our quality and other objectives, while maximizing the highest risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted return.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Corporate securities, which consist of bonds and redeemable preferred stocks, were the largest component of the fixed-maturity portfolio as of June 30, 2025, representing 80% of amortized cost, net, and 82% of fair value. The remainder of the portfolio is invested primarily in securities issued by the U.S. government and U.S. municipalities. The Company holds insignificant amounts in foreign government bonds, collateralized debt obligations, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Corporate securities are diversified over a variety of industry sectors and issuers. At June 30, 2025, the total fixed maturity portfolio consisted of 1,016 issuers.

Fixed maturities had a fair value of $17.4 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $17.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The net unrealized loss position in the fixed-maturity portfolio decreased from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2024 to $1.6 billion at June 30, 2025 due to a change in market rates during the period.

For more information about our fixed-maturity portfolio by component at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, including a discussion of allowance for credit losses, an analysis of unrealized investment losses, and a schedule of maturities, see Note 4—Investments.

An analysis of the fixed-maturity portfolio by composite quality rating at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is shown in the following tables. The company uses the NAIC designation for credit quality ratings. The NAIC designation is generally determined using the second lowest rating available from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”) when three or more ratings are available and the lowest rating when two or fewer rating are available. When NRSRO ratings are unavailable the rating may be assigned by the Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the NAIC.

The overall quality rating of the portfolio is A-, the same as of year-end 2024. Fixed maturities rated BBB are 44% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2025, down from 46% at December 31, 2024. While this ratio is high relative to our peers, it is at its lowest level since 2006 and we have limited exposure to higher-risk assets such as derivatives, equities, and asset-backed securities. Additionally, the Company does not participate in securities lending and has no off-balance sheet investments as of June 30, 2025. Of our fixed maturity purchases, BBB securities generally provide the Company with the best risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted returns largely due to our ability to hold securities to maturity regardless of fluctuations in interest rates or equity markets.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Our investment policy calls for investing primarily in fixed maturities that are investment grade and meet our quality and yield objectives. Thus, the balance of below-investment grade issues is primarily the result of ratings downgrades of existing holdings. Below-investment grade bonds at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses, were 3% of total fixed maturities at amortized cost as of June 30, 2025.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses are classified into two categories: insurance administrative expenses and expenses of the Parent Company. Insurance administrative expenses generally include expenses incurred after a policy has been issued. As these expenses relate to premium for a given period, management measures the expenses as a percentage of premium income. The Company also views stock-based compensation expense as a Parent Company expense. Expenses associated with the issuance of our insurance policies are reflected as acquisition expenses and included in the determination of underwriting margin.

An analysis of operating expenses is shown below.

Total operating expenses, per Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations $ 217,039 $ 192,322 $ 24,717 13

Total operating expenses for June 30, 2025 increased in comparison with the prior year primarily due to increases in insurance administrative expenses as well as stock compensation and legal proceedings. Insurance administrative expenses increased $11 million primarily due to higher employee costs, which include salaries and other costs. Insurance administrative expenses as a percent of premium were 7.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 7.0% for the same period in 2024. Stock compensation expense increased primarily due to changes in the mix of awards and increase in award values.

SHARE REPURCHASES

Globe Life has an ongoing share repurchase program that began in 1986. The share repurchase program is reviewed with the Board of Directors quarterly, and continues indefinitely unless and until the Board of Directors decides to suspend, terminate or modify the program. On November 18, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.8 billion under the Company's existing share repurchase program. Management generally determines the amount of repurchases based on the amount of excess cash flows and other available sources after the payment of dividends to the Parent Company shareholders, general market conditions, and other alternative uses. Since implementing our share repurchase program in 1986, we have used $10.7 billion to repurchase Globe Life Inc. common shares, after determining that the repurchases provide a greater risk-adjusted after-tax return than other investment alternatives.

Excess cash flow at the Parent Company is primarily comprised of dividends received from the insurance subsidiaries less interest expense paid on its debt and other limited operating activities. Additionally, when stock options are exercised, proceeds from these exercises and the resulting tax benefit are used to repurchase additional shares on the open market to minimize dilution as a result of the option exercises.

The following table summarizes share repurchases for the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(1)Excludes excise tax on the repurchase of treasury stock of $3.7 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The amount of share repurchases in the first six months were higher due to higher excess cash flow. The amount of excess cash flow was higher than in the prior year primarily due to higher statutory earnings and the inclusion of extraordinary dividends approved in late 2024. Throughout the remainder of this discussion, share repurchases will only refer to those made from excess cash flow at the Parent Company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity. Liquidity provides Globe Life with the ability to meet on demand the cash commitments required to support our business operations and meet our financial obligations. Our liquidity is primarily derived from multiple sources: positive cash flow from operations, a portfolio of marketable securities, a revolving credit facility, commercial paper, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Insurance Subsidiary Liquidity. The operations of our insurance subsidiaries have historically generated substantial cash inflows in excess of immediate cash needs. Cash inflows for the insurance subsidiaries primarily include premium and investment income. In addition to investment income, maturities and scheduled repayments in the investment portfolio are cash inflows. Cash outflows from operations include policy benefit payments, commissions, administrative expenses, and taxes. A portion of cash inflows in the current year will provide for the payment of future policy benefits and are invested primarily in long-term fixed maturities as they better match the long-term nature of these obligations. Excess cash available from the insurance subsidiaries’ operations is generally distributed as a dividend to the Parent Company, subject to regulatory restrictions. The dividends are generally paid in amounts equal to the subsidiaries’ prior year statutory net income excluding realized capital gains. While the insurance subsidiaries annually generate more operating cash inflows than cash outflows, the companies also have the entire available-for-sale fixed-maturity investment portfolio available to create additional cash flows if required.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Four of our insurance subsidiaries are members of the FHLB of Dallas. FHLB membership provides the insurance subsidiaries with access to various low-cost collateralized borrowings and funding agreements. While not the only source of liquidity, the FHLB could provide the insurance subsidiaries with an additional source of liquidity, if needed. Refer to Note 11—Debt for further details.

Parent Company Liquidity. An important source of Parent Company liquidity is the dividends from its insurance subsidiaries. These dividends are received throughout the year and are used by the Parent Company to pay dividends on common and preferred stock, interest and principal repayment requirements on Parent Company debt, and operating expenses of the Parent Company.

Six Months Ended<br>June 30, Twelve Months Ended <br>December 31,
2025 2024 Projected 2025 2024
Liquidity Sources:
Dividends from Subsidiaries $ 351,394 $ 358,255 $700,000—$750,000 $ 692,690
Excess Cash Flows(1) $ 474,953 $ 327,283 $780,000—$830,000 $ 455,013

(1)Excess cash flows are reported gross of shareholder dividends. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, shareholder dividends were $43 million and $44 million, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we project approximately $84 million in shareholder dividends, compared to the $85 million paid in 2024.

Dividends from subsidiaries and excess cash flows are projected to be higher in 2025 than in 2024 primarily due to improved earnings from favorable mortality trends and growth in business, as well as positive impacts from lower reserve increases under statutory accounting impacting the 2024 statutory earnings that derive the 2025 dividends. The excess cash flows in 2025 include the extraordinary dividends approved in the latter part of 2024 of $192 million. Additional sources of liquidity for the Parent Company are cash, intercompany receivables, intercompany borrowings, debt markets, term loans, and a revolving credit facility.

On July 1, 2025, we entered into a 30-year facility agreement (“Facility Agreement”) with a Delaware Trust (the “Trust”) formed by us in connection with the sale by the trust of $500 million pre-capitalized trust securities redeemable May 15, 2055 in a Rule 144A private placement. The Trust invested the proceeds from the sale of its securities in a portfolio of principal and interest strips of U.S. Treasury securities (the “Strips”).

The Facility Agreement provides us with the right to sell at any time to the Trust up to $500 million of our 6.580% Senior Notes due 2055 (the “6.580% Senior Notes”) in exchange for a corresponding amount of the Strips held by the Trust (the “Issuance Right”). We agreed to pay a semi-annual facility fee of 1.789% per annum on the unexercised portion of the Issuance

The Issuance Right will be exercised automatically in full upon (i) our failure to pay the facility fee or to purchase any Strips required to be purchased under the Facility, if the failure to pay is not cured within 30 days, or (ii) certain bankruptcy events involving the Company. We are also required to exercise the Issuance Right in full if our consolidated stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI) falls below $1.55 billion, subject to certain adjustments.

The Company can redeem the 6.580% Senior Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of par or a make-whole redemption price. At June 30, 2025, the Company had no senior note issuances under the Facility Agreement.

Short-Term Borrowings. An additional source of Parent Company liquidity is a credit facility with a group of lenders. The facility was amended on March 29, 2024, resulting in an increased capacity of $250 million. The facility allows for unsecured borrowings and stand-by letters of credit up to $1 billion, which could be increased up to $1.25 billion. While the Parent Company may request the increase, it is not guaranteed. The updated five-year credit agreement will mature on March 29, 2029. Up to $250 million in letters of credit can be issued against the facility. The facility serves as a backup line of credit for a commercial paper program under which commercial paper may be issued at any time, with total commercial paper outstanding not to exceed the facility maximum less any letters of credit issued. Interest charged on the commercial paper program resembles variable rate debt due to its short term nature. As of June 30, 2025, we had available $488 million of additional borrowing capacity under this facility,

compared to $572 million a year earlier. As of June 30, 2025, the Parent Company was in full compliance with all covenants related to the aforementioned debt.

As a part of the credit facility, Globe Life has stand-by letters of credits. These letters of credit are issued on behalf of our insurance subsidiaries.

The following tables present certain information about our commercial paper borrowings.

Daily-weighted average interest rate (annualized) 4.99 % 5.76 %
Maximum daily amount outstanding during period (par value) $ 605,500 $ 633,425

The Company reduced commercial paper borrowings by $22 million since year end. The Company was able to issue commercial paper as needed under this facility during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Globe Life expects to have readily available funds for 2025 and the foreseeable future to conduct its operations and to maintain target capital ratios in the insurance subsidiaries through liquid assets currently available, internally-generated cash flow and the credit facility. In the event more liquidity is needed, the Parent Company could generate additional funds through multiple sources including, but not limited to, the issuance of debt, an additional short-term credit facility or term loan, and intercompany borrowing.

Consolidated Liquidity. Consolidated net cash inflows from operations were $740 million in the first six months of 2025, compared with $725 million in the same period of 2024. The increase is attributable to routine fluctuations in the settlement of operating activities. In addition to cash inflows from operations, our insurance companies received proceeds from dispositions of fixed maturities available for sale, mortgage loans, and other long-term investments in the amount of $434 million during the first six months of 2025. As previously noted under the caption Short-Term Borrowings, the Parent Company has in place a revolving credit facility. The insurance companies have no additional outstanding credit facilities.

Cash and short-term investments were $356 million at June 30, 2025, compared with $250 million at December 31, 2024. In addition to these liquid assets, $17 billion (fair value at June 30, 2025) of fixed income securities are available for sale in the event of an unexpected need. Approximately $1.3 billion, at fair value, are pledged for outstanding FHLB advances and reinsurance. Further, approximately 98% of our fixed income securities are publicly traded, freely tradable under SEC Rule 144, or qualified for resale under SEC Rule 144A. While our fixed income securities are classified as available for sale, we have the ability and general intent to hold any securities to recovery or maturity. Our strong cash flows from operations, on-going investment maturities, and available liquidity under our credit facility make any need to sell securities for liquidity highly unlikely.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Subsidiary Capital: The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has established a risk-based factor approach for determining threshold risk-based capital levels for all insurance companies. This approach was designed to assist the regulatory bodies in identifying companies that may require regulatory attention. A Risk-Based Capital (RBC) ratio is typically determined by dividing adjusted total statutory capital by the amount of RBC determined using the NAIC’s factors. If a company’s RBC ratio approaches two times the RBC amount, the company must file a plan with the NAIC for improving its capital levels (this level is commonly referred to as “Company Action Level” RBC). Companies typically hold a multiple of the Company Action Level RBC depending on their particular business needs and risk profile.

Our goal is to maintain statutory capital within our insurance subsidiaries at levels necessary to support our current ratings. For 2025, Globe Life has targeted a consolidated Company Action Level RBC ratio of 300% to 320%. The Company has concluded that this capital level is more than adequate and sufficient to support its current ratings, given the nature of its business and its risk profile. For 2024, our consolidated Company Action Level RBC ratio was 316%. The Parent Company is committed to maintaining the targeted consolidated RBC ratio at its insurance subsidiaries and has sufficient liquidity available to provide additional capital if necessary.

Shareholders' Equity: Shareholders’ equity was $5.4 billion at June 30, 2025. This compares with $5.3 billion at December 31, 2024 and $5.2 billion at June 30, 2024. During the six months since December 31, 2024, shareholders’ equity increased as a result of net income of $507 million during the first six months of 2025, but was offset by share repurchases of $403 million and an additional $109 million in share repurchases to offset the dilution from stock option exercises. Additionally, the change in the balance of AOCI increased shareholders' equity $46 million primarily due to changes in interest rates and discount rates over the period.

On April 25, 2025, the Parent Company announced that it had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. This dividend was paid on August 1, 2025.

We plan to use excess cash available at the Parent Company as efficiently as possible in the future. Excess cash flow, as we define it, results primarily from the dividends received by the Parent Company from its insurance subsidiaries less the interest paid on debt. The cash received by the Parent Company from our insurance subsidiaries is after they have made substantial investments during the year to grow the business. Possible uses of excess cash flow include, but are not limited to, share repurchases, acquisitions, shareholder dividend payments, investments in securities, or repayment of short-term debt. We will determine the best use of excess cash after ensuring that targeted capital levels are maintained in our insurance subsidiaries. If market conditions are favorable, we currently expect that share repurchases will continue to be a primary use of those funds.

Future policy benefits are computed using current discount rates with the impact of changes in discount rates included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, the liability for future policy benefits is calculated using net premiums rather than gross premiums. Given that gross premiums are considerably higher than net premiums for our business, as seen in Note 6—Policy Liabilities, the measurement of the liability is higher than what it would be had it been computed using gross premiums. This is an important consideration when analyzing shareholders' equity.

We maintain a significant available-for-sale fixed maturity portfolio to support our insurance policy liabilities. Current accounting guidance requires that we revalue our portfolio to fair market value at the end of each accounting period. The period-to-period changes in fair value, net of their associated impact on income tax, are reflected directly in shareholders’ equity. Changes in the fair value of the portfolio can result from changes in market rates.

While a majority of invested assets are revalued, accounting rules do not permit interest-bearing insurance policy liabilities to be valued at fair value in a consistent manner as that of assets, with changes in value applied directly to shareholders’ equity. Due to the size of our policy liabilities in relation to our shareholders’ equity, an inconsistency exists in measurement, which may have a material impact on the reported value of shareholders’ equity. Fluctuations in interest rates cause undue volatility in the period-to-period presentation of our shareholders’ equity, capital structure, and financial ratios. Due to the long-term nature of our fixed-maturity investments and liabilities and the strong cash flows consistently generated by our insurance subsidiaries, we have the ability to hold our securities to maturity. As such, we do not expect to incur losses due to fluctuations in market value of fixed maturities caused by market rate changes and temporarily illiquid markets. Accordingly, our management, credit

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than the Remaining Life and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number


4 of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life.

If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. “Trust Declaration” means the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of July 1, 2025, among the Company, as depositor, The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee of the Trust, and BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, a Delaware banking corporation, as Delaware trustee, and the Company (solely for the purposes of Section 5.10(b), Section 5.10(f), Section 7.1(a) and Section 10.4(c) thereof), relating to the Trust. “Trust Securities” means the pre-capitalized trust securities of the Trust. ARTICLE II TERMS OF THE NOTES Section 201 Terms of the Notes. The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established: (a) The Notes are hereby created and designated a series of Securities under the Base Indenture.

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture and at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Amount.


5 On the date hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a single certificate, registered in the name of the Trust in the form of Exhibit A to this Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial Note Certificate”), to evidence Notes that may be sold to the Trust from time to time pursuant to the Facility Agreement. The initial principal amount of the Initial Note Certificate shall be $0, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by such certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased (at the direction of the Company in a Company Order) to reflect (i) any issuance and sale, or any Repurchase (as defined in the Facility Agreement), of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement upon receipt of written confirmation of the receipt of the purchase price for the Notes to be sold or repurchased from (A) the Company in the case of any exercise of the Issuance Right (as defined in the Facility Agreement), (B) the Issuance Right Assignee (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in the case of any exercise of the Assigned Issuance Right (as defined in the Facility Agreement) or (C) the trustee of the Trust in the case of any Repurchase (as defined in the Facility Agreement), (ii) any cancellation thereof pursuant to Section 201(n) hereof or (iii) any redemption thereof pursuant to Section 201 hereof; provided that the principal amount of Notes represented by the Initial Note Certificate may at no time exceed the Maximum Amount. The principal amount of the Initial Note Certificate as recorded in the Security Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. (c) The Stated Maturity for the Notes shall be May 15, 2055, or if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day. (d) The Notes will initially be issued at 100% of the principal amount. (e) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 6.580% per annum. The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be the date the Notes are delivered to the Trust or, if such date is not a May 15 or November 15, the immediately preceding May 15 or November 15 (or, if such date is prior to November 15, 2025, the date that the Trust Securities are initially issued); the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on the May 15 or November 15 next following the date the Notes are delivered to the Trust; the initial interest period will be the period from, and including, the date the Notes are delivered to the Trust or, if such date is not a May 15 or November 15, the immediately preceding May 15 or November 15 (or, if such date is prior to November 15, 2025, the date that the Trust Securities are initially issued) to, but excluding, the initial Interest Payment Date, and the subsequent interest periods will be the periods from, and including, an Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date; provided that (a) interest payable at maturity or upon redemption will be paid to the Person in whose name the principal of the Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is payable and (b) if a payment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then the applicable interest payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 307 of the Base Indenture, (a) at any time that an outstanding Note is held by the Trust or in book-entry form only, interest will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant date of payment and (b) if


6 any Note is issued as a certificated Note to holders of Trust Securities on or after a Regular Record Date and prior to the related Interest Payment Date, interest shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Trust Securities were registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date (and notified in writing by the Company to the Trustee). Payment of principal of and interest on (and premium and Make-Whole Amounts, if any, on) the Notes will initially be made at the office of the Company located at 3700 South Stonebridge Drive, McKinney, Texas 75070 (provided that if the Notes are distributed by the Trust to the holders of the Trust Securities upon the dissolution and termination of the Trust, then such payments shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, however, that at any time that the Notes are registered to Cede & Co., such payment will be made by wire transfer in accordance with the procedures established by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. So long as the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume without inquiry that payments to the Holders of the Notes have been made absent written notice to the contrary. (f) If the Notes are distributed by the Trust to the holders of the Trust Securities upon the dissolution and termination of the Trust, then such Notes shall initially be issuable in global form (each such Note in global form, a “Global Note”) and, prior to such distribution, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the cancellation of the Initial Note Certificate in exchange for the issuance of one or more Global Notes through the facilities of DTC (including delivery to the Trustee of a Company Order to authenticate such Global Note(s) and approve Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) deposit instructions as necessary to effectuate such exchange). The Trustee shall have no duty to cause such Global Note(s) to be exchanged for the Initial Note Certificate other than authenticating such Global Note(s) and approving DWAC instructions initiated by the holders thereof as directed in such Company Order. Each Global Note and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Fifth Supplemental Indenture. Each Global Note shall represent the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, in accordance with Sections 203 and 305 of the Base Indenture. Furthermore, any Global Note shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes only in the limited circumstances provided in Section 305 of the Base Indenture. (g) If the Notes are distributed by the Trust to the holders of the Trust Securities upon the dissolution and termination of the Trust, the depositary for such Global Note(s) (the “Depositary”) shall initially be DTC, New York, New York; provided that, if the Notes are not eligible to be settled through DTC or any successor thereto at the time of such distribution, such Notes will be distributed in definitive form.

(i) The Notes shall be redeemable pursuant to Section 1101 of the Base Indenture pursuant to the following terms: (i) Prior to the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. (ii) On or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. (iii) Notice of redemption shall be given in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or by overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery, or, in the case of a Global Note, sent electronically in accordance with the procedures of the applicable Depositary, to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed (at the Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register) not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date. All notices of redemption shall contain the information set forth in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture. (iv) Any exercise of the Company’s option to redeem the Notes will be done in compliance with the Indenture. (v) If the Company elects to redeem only a portion of the Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata, in accordance with the procedures of the applicable Depositary and any applicable stock exchange to the extent applicable; provided further, that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Note shall be in a denomination of not less than $2,000.00. Prior to the dissolution and termination of the


8 Trust, the Company may redeem the Notes only in integral multiples of $25,000,000 principal amount. (vi) Once notice of redemption is sent, any Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, subject to any conditions precedent specified in such notice. (vii) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or portions thereof) called for redemption hereunder on and after the Redemption Date. (viii) The Notes that have been redeemed pursuant to this Section 201(i) shall be cancelled and may not be reissued. (ix) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating or verifying the Redemption Price. (x) Prior to the dissolution and termination of the Trust, the Company may repurchase the Notes in compliance with Section 2.2 of the Facility Agreement. (j) The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund pursuant to Section 1201 of the Base Indenture.

(l) Holders of the Notes will not have the option to have the Notes repaid prior to the Stated Maturity. (m) Paying Agent; Security Registrar. Initially, the Company shall act as Paying Agent and the Trustee shall act as Security Registrar. The office of the Company at 3700 South Stonebridge Drive, McKinney, Texas 75070 shall be the office or agency of the Paying Agent and the Corporate Trust Office shall be the office or agency of the Security Registrar for the Notes. If the Notes are distributed by the Trust to the holders of the Trust Securities upon the dissolution and termination of the Trust, the Trustee shall initially act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar and the Corporate Trust Office shall be the office or agency of the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar for the Notes. (n) Transfer and Exchanges (i) The Security Registrar shall not be required to effect any transfer (other than to the Company or DTC or its nominee) of any Notes on the Security Register unless (i) it receives a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder or their attorney duly authorized in writing, or (ii) any other exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act is available and, in each case, the Company or the Trustee receives such documentation, including Opinions of Counsel, requested by the Company or the Trustee in order to confirm compliance with the transfer restrictions set


9 forth herein; provided that, if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the registered holder of a Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. (ii) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without being subject to any conditions as provided in Rule 144; provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to that effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause an Opinion of Counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate. Any Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend. (iii) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note that is not a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon prior written notice to the Trustee. (iv) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Fifth Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in a Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine compliance on their face as to form with the express requirements hereof; provided that the Trustee shall have no duty to require such documents to the extent it has no knowledge of any such transfer. (v) In the event that a Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder (as defined in the Trust Declaration) is the beneficial owner or holder of any Trust Securities and requests that the trustee of the Trust exchange Trust Securities for Notes pursuant to Section 5.4(e) of the Trust Declaration, the Trustee shall register the transfer of such Notes to such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder or, if requested, cancel such Notes in accordance with Section 309 of the Base Indenture. The Company shall provide the Trustee with a copy of any such request by any such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder under Section 5.4(e) of the Trust Declaration promptly after such a request is made. (o) Restricted Legend (i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (ii) of this Section 201(o), the proviso to Section 201(n)(i) or Section 201(n)(ii), each Note shall bear the Restricted Legend. (ii) If the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require (which shall also be addressed to the Trustee)) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without compliance with any limits thereunder and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a


10 beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may instruct the Trustee in an Officers’ Certificate to cancel the Note and issue to the holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount of the same series, registered in the name of the registered holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction and shall incur no liability with complying with such instructions. (iii) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend (or any beneficial interest in such a Note), each registered holder thereof and each owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this Fifth Supplemental Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such beneficial interest) only in accordance with this Fifth Supplemental Indenture and such legend.
