For many years, insurance company issuers of non-variable products that are registered with the SEC on Forms S-1 or S-3 have been required to disclose compensation information about highly-compensated executive officers of the issuer.

However, insurance companies issuing, or contemplating issuing such products – which include certain indexed-linked annuities and market value adjustment annuities – have long questioned the relevance to contract owners of executive compensation information. Among other things, requiring such information to be disclosed seems anomalous when the same information has not been deemed relevant or required to be disclosed in SEC registration statements filed for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
