Business Description 

Protective Life Insurance Company (Protective), a stock life insurance company, was founded in 1907. Protective is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation (PLC), an insurance holding company whose common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: PL). Protective provides financial services through the production, distribution, and administration of insurance and investment products. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Protective” refers to the consolidated group of Protective Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries.

Protective operates several business segments each having a strategic focus. An operating segment is generally distinguished by products and/or channels of distribution. Protective’s operating segments are Life Marketing, Acquisitions, Annuities, Stable Value Products and Asset Protection. Protective also has an additional segment referred to as Corporate and Other.

Life Marketing

The Life Marketing segment markets level premium term and term-like life insurance, universal life, variable universal life insurance and “bank owned life insurance” (BOLI) products on a national basis. The segment uses several methods of distribution for its products. One distribution system is comprised of brokerage general agencies who recruit a network of independent life insurance agents. The segment also distributes life insurance products through a network of experienced independent personal producing general agents who are recruited by regional sales managers. Also, Protective markets BOLI through an independent marketing organization that specializes in this market. The segment also distributes life insurance products through stockbrokers and banks, and through direct response and worksite arrangements.

Acquisitions

The Acquisitions segment focuses on acquiring, converting, and servicing policies acquired from other companies. The segment’s primary focus is on life insurance policies sold to individuals. These acquisitions may be accomplished through acquisitions of companies or through the reinsurance of blocks of policies from other insurers. Forty-three transactions have been closed by the segment since 1970, including 16 since 1989. Policies acquired through the segment are usually administered as “closed” blocks; i.e., no new policies are being marketed. Therefore, the amount of insurance in force for a particular acquisition is expected to decline with time due to lapses and deaths of the insured.
