dated as of November 23, 2021 (the “Indenture”), with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, as
supplemented by a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) providing for the terms of the Senior Notes. The Indenture
contains covenants that restrict the Company’s ability, with specified exceptions, to (i) incur debt secured by any capital

control of JNLIC, unless the Senior Notes are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured debt so long as such debt is
so secured; (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of capital stock of JNLIC, or any entity (other than the Company) having
direct or indirect control of JNLIC; and (iii) merge with or into or consolidate with another entity or convey, lease or otherwise

or principal, cross defaults to material indebtedness, and insolvency and bankruptcy events. The net proceeds of the Senior Notes are expected to be used for general
corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, (i) repaying or redeeming at or before maturity, the Company’s $400,000,000
5.170% Senior Notes due June 8, 2027 and/or JNLIC’s $250,000,000 8.15% surplus notes due March 15, 2027. The Senior Notes were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated
