Item 2.02 Results of Operation and Financial Condition
The information required by this item is included in Item 8.01 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 27, 2013, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company") announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell Hartford Life International, Ltd. ("HLIL"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, in a cash transaction to Columbia Insurance Company, a Berkshire Hathaway company, for approximately $285 million (the "Transaction"). The Transaction resulted in a net loss of approximately $102 million in the second quarter of 2013. At closing, HLIL’s sole asset will be its subsidiary, Hartford Life Limited, a Dublin-based company that sold variable annuities in the U.K. from 2005 to 2009. The Transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, is expected to close by the end of 2013.
