          This Amendment No. 2 amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO

a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Hartford Fire Insurance Company, a
Connecticut corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent,
and Hartford Life, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), relating to the
third-party tender offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Company, at a purchase price of $50.50 per share, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth

     Item 1 and Item 7 is each hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

     The  information  set  forth  in  "SUMMARY  TERM  SHEET"  and  "THE  TENDER
OFFER--Section 9. Source and Amount of Funds" in the Offer to Purchase is hereby
amended to reflect the following:

     The Hartford  Financial  Services Group,  Inc. ("The Hartford")  intends to
finance its purchase of the shares of Hartford  Life,  Inc. Class A Common Stock
from  commercial  paper  facilities  or other debt  financings,  the sale of its
common  stock in an equity  offering and  internally  generated  funds.  In that
regard,  The Hartford  announced on June 5, 2000 that it sold 7.3 million shares
of its common stock to Goldman,  Sachs & Co., raising approximately $400 million
to  partially  fund The  Hartford's  purchase  of the  publicly  held  shares of

short-term  debt financings with the proceeds from long-term debt financings and
with  funds  from  other  sources,  including  the  possible  sale of  assets or
additional equity financings.
