Lincoln National Corporation ("LNC") is a holding company, which operates multiple insurance and investment management businesses through subsidiary companies.

Based on assets, LNC is the 44th largest U.S. Corporation1 and based on revenues, is the 8th largest U.S. stockholder-owned company within the Fortune 500 Life/Health Insurance Industry Ranking2. LNC's operations are divided into four business segments: 1) Lincoln Retirement, 2) Life Insurance, 3) Investment Management and 4) Lincoln UK. Over the past five years, segments have been redefined as follows. During the first quarter of 2000, an internal reorganization resulted in the creation of a separate Lincoln Retirement segment and a separate Life Insurance segment. At the end of 2000, LNC established a new wholesaling distribution organization, Lincoln Financial Distributors ("LFD"), to focus on the changing business needs of financial intermediaries. Beginning with the first quarter of 2001, LFD's results were reported within Other Operations. Previously, LNC's wholesaling efforts were conducted separately within the Lincoln Retirement, Life Insurance and Investment Management segments. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2001, LNC had a Reinsurance segment, however these operations were sold to Swiss Re on December 7, 2001 and the related segment information prior to the close of this transaction was moved to Other Operations.
