2012 Annual Guidance

Given pricing actions and a continued challenging economic environment,
we expect group insurance premium growth to be relatively flat.
We expect our group insurance annual benefit ratio to be in the range of
80% to 82%.
If the current interest rate environment persists, we estimate the discount
rate would be lowered 25 to 50 basis points.
We expect share repurchases to be in the range of $40 to $80 million.
Our estimated 2012 effective income tax rate will be 26% to 27%.
We estimate that implementing ASU 2010-26 will increase pre-tax
expenses by approximately $3 to $4 million.
