Item 5. Other Events
In January 1998, six annuity policyholders commenced a lawsuit against the
Registrant. The action is styled on behalf of the plaintiffs and on behalf of a
class of policyholders who purchased annuity policies. The plaintiffs allege
that they and other annuity policyholders have been damaged due to certain
alleged misrepresentations and alleged inadequate disclosures. The case was
commenced in the United States Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Registrant expects to file a motion to transfer the case to the Minnesota
Federal Court and make other possibly dispositive motions. Although the
litigation is at an early stage, the Registrant believes the plaintiffs will not
be able to substantiate their claims and the Registrant has meritorious
defenses. The Registrant does not anticipate any material adverse financial
result.
