On September 23, 2026, Hartford Fire Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Hartford Insurers”), each a wholly owned insurance company subsidiary of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Reinsurance Commutation and Release Agreement (the “Commutation Agreement”) with National Indemnity Company (“NICO”), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Pursuant to the Commutation Agreement, the Hartford Insurers and NICO agreed to the commutation and termination of their existing Aggregate Excess of Loss Reinsurance Agreement (the “Reinsurance Agreement”), which has provided asbestos and environmental adverse development cover reinsurance since December 31, 2016, and certain related transaction documents.
