TABLE OF CONTENTS

The states in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled have laws which require regulatory approval for the acquisition of “control” of insurance companies. Under these laws, there exists a presumption of “control” when an acquiring party acquires 10% or more of the voting securities of an insurance company or of a company which itself controls an insurance company. Therefore, any person acquiring 10% or more of our common stock would need the prior approval of the state insurance regulators of these states or a determination from such regulators that “control” has not been acquired.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves substantial risks. You should consider carefully the following risks and other information in this prospectus, including our combined and pro forma financial statements and related notes, before you decide to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually materializes, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Distribution Structure

Our failure to continue to attract large numbers of new recruits and retain sales representatives or to maintain the licensing success of our sales representatives would materially adversely affect our business.

New sales representatives provide us with access to new referrals, enable us to increase sales, expand our client base and provide the next generation of successful sales representatives. As is typical with insurance and distribution businesses, we experience a high rate of turnover among our part-time sales representatives, which requires us to attract, retain and motivate a large number of sales representatives. Recruiting is primarily performed by our current sales representatives and the effectiveness of our recruiting is generally dependent upon our reputation as a provider of a rewarding and potentially lucrative income opportunity, as well as the general competitive and economic environment. The motivation of recruits to complete their training and licensing requirements and to commit to selling our products is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of our compensation and promotional programs and the competitiveness of such programs compared with other companies, including other part-time business opportunities.

If our new business opportunities and products do not generate sufficient interest to attract new recruits, motivate them to become licensed sales representatives and incentivize them to sell our products and recruit other new sales representatives, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Furthermore, if we or any other direct sales businesses with a similar distribution structure engage in practices resulting in increased negative public attention for our business, the resulting reputational challenges could adversely affect our ability to attract new recruits.

Certain of our key RVPs have large sales organizations that include thousands of downline sales representatives. These key RVPs are responsible for attracting, motivating, supporting and assisting the sales representatives in their sales organizations. The loss of one or more key RVPs, together with a substantial number of their sales representatives, for any reason, including movement to a competitor, or any other event that causes the departure of a large number of sales representatives, could materially adversely affect our financial results and could impair our ability to attract new sales representatives.

There are a number of laws and regulations that could apply to our distribution model, which subjects us to the risk that we may have to modify our distribution structure.

In the past, certain direct sale distribution models have been subject to challenge under various laws, including laws relating to business opportunities, franchising, pyramid schemes and unfair or deceptive trade practices. If these laws were to apply to us, we may be required to make changes to our distribution model, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

State business opportunity laws often impose, among other things, registration and disclosure requirements. While we have not been and are not currently subject to such laws, there is a risk that a governmental agency or court could disagree with our assessment or that these laws and regulations could change. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, is in the process of promulgating a new “Business Opportunity Rule,” which would

12

Table of Contents

not apply to companies like ours as currently drafted, but could be broadened in its final form to encompass our business. Becoming subject to business opportunity or franchise laws or regulations could require us to provide certain disclosures and regulate the manner in which we recruit our sales representatives that may increase the expense of, or adversely impact our success in, recruiting new sales representatives and make it more difficult for us to successfully attract and recruit new sales representatives or require us to change our business model, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There are various laws and regulations that prohibit fraudulent or deceptive schemes known as “pyramid schemes.” The application of these laws and regulations to a given set of business practices is inherently fact-based and, therefore, is subject to interpretation by applicable enforcement authorities. Thus, even though we believe that our distribution practices are currently in compliance with, or exempt from, these laws and regulations, there is a risk that a governmental agency or court could disagree with our assessment or that these laws and regulations could change, which may require us to alter our distribution model or cease our operations in certain jurisdictions or result in other costs or fines, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There are also federal, state and provincial laws of general application, such as the Federal Trade Commission Act, or the FTC Act, and state or provincial unfair and deceptive trade practices laws that could potentially be invoked to challenge aspects of our recruiting of sales representatives and compensation practices. In particular, our recruiting efforts include promotional materials for recruits that describe the potential opportunity available to them if they join our sales force. These materials, as well as our other recruiting efforts and those of our sales representatives, are subject to scrutiny by the FTC and state and provincial enforcement authorities with respect to misleading statements, including misleading earnings claims made to convince potential new recruits to join our sales force. If claims made by us or by our sales representatives are deemed to be misleading, it could result in violations of the FTC Act or comparable state and provincial statutes prohibiting unfair or deceptive trade practices or result in reputational harm, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There may be adverse tax and employment law consequences if the independent contractor status of our sales representatives is successfully challenged.

Our sales representatives are treated by us as independent contractors who operate their own businesses. In the past, we have been successful in defending our company against claims that our sales representatives should be treated like employees in various contexts before courts and administrative agencies. Of note, the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, issued a National Office Technical Advice Memorandum in 1997 confirming the independent contractor status of our U.S. sales representatives for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Nevertheless, there is a risk that the IRS or another authority will take a different view or that the standing practice of our industry will change. Furthermore, the tests governing the determination of whether an individual is considered to be an independent contractor or an employee are typically fact sensitive and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Laws and regulations that govern the status of independent sales representatives are subject to change or interpretation by various authorities. If a federal, state or provincial authority or court enacts legislation or adopts regulations that change the manner in which employees and independent contractors are classified or makes any adverse determination with respect to some or all of our independent contractors, we could incur significant costs in complying with such laws and regulations, including, in respect of tax withholding, social security payments and recordkeeping, or we may be required to modify our business model, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there is the risk that we may be subject to significant monetary liabilities arising from fines or judgments as a result of any such actual or alleged non-compliance with federal, state, or provincial tax or employment laws. Further, if it were determined that our sales representatives should be treated as employees, we could possibly incur additional liabilities with respect to any applicable employee benefit plan.

Table of Contents

Our sales representatives’ non-compliance with any applicable laws could subject us to material liabilities.

Extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws regulate our products and our relationships with our clients, imposing certain requirements that our sales representatives must follow. Some of these requirements and procedures vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but many of them, especially those applicable to our securities business, arise from applicable securities laws or from the rules promulgated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, or other applicable regulatory authorities. In addition to imposing requirements that representatives must follow in their dealings with clients, these laws and rules generally require us to maintain a system of supervision to attempt to ensure that our sales representatives comply with these requirements. In order to comply with these laws, we have developed policies, procedures and controls to supervise and monitor our sales representatives. However, despite these compliance and supervisory efforts, the breadth of our operations and the broad regulatory requirements could result in oversight failures and instances of non-compliance or misconduct on the part of our sales representatives.

Examples of such non-compliance or misconduct could include selling products that are not provided or otherwise authorized by us, which is referred to as “selling away,” selling fictitious products, misappropriating client funds or engaging in other fraudulent or otherwise improper activity, recommending products that are not suitable, engaging in activities for which a sales representative is unlicensed or otherwise not authorized to sell, or failing to comply with applicable laws regarding contact with persons on “do not call” or “do not fax” lists, or requirements under anti-spam laws.

Non-compliance or misconduct by our sales representatives could result in violations of law, and could subject us to regulatory sanctions, significant monetary liabilities, restrictions on or the loss of the operation of our business, claims against us or reputational harm, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, from time to time, we are subject to private litigation as a result of misconduct by our sales representatives. Such litigation may be costly to defend and settle. Although incidents of misconduct in the past have not caused material harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations, there is no assurance that future incidents will not result in significant claims or result in litigation that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure to protect the confidentiality of client information could adversely affect our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Pursuant to federal laws, various federal regulatory and law enforcement agencies have established rules protecting the privacy and security of personal information. In addition, most states and some provinces have enacted laws, which vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, to safeguard the privacy and security of personal information. Many of our sales representatives have access to and routinely process personal information of clients through a variety of media, including the Internet and software applications. We rely on various internal processes and controls to protect the confidentiality of client information that is accessible to, or in the possession of, our company and our sales representatives. We have a significant number of sales representatives in North America, and it is possible that a sales representative could, intentionally or unintentionally, disclose or misappropriate confidential client information. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls, including any failure to implement newly-required additional controls, or if our sales representatives fail to comply with our policies and procedures, misappropriation or intentional or unintentional inappropriate disclosure or misuse of client information could occur. Such internal control inadequacies or non-compliance could materially damage our reputation or lead to civil or criminal penalties, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Insurance Business and Reinsurance

We may face significant losses if our actual experience differs from our expectations regarding mortality or persistency.

We set prices for life insurance policies based upon expected claim payment patterns derived from assumptions we make about the mortality rates, or likelihood of death, in any given year of our policyholders. The long-term profitability of these products depends upon how our actual mortality rates compare to our pricing assumptions. For example, if mortality rates are higher than those assumed in our pricing assumptions, we could be required to make more death benefit payments under our life insurance policies or to make such payments sooner than we had projected, which may decrease the profitability of our term life insurance products and result in an increase in the cost of our subsequent reinsurance transactions.

The prices and expected future profitability of our life insurance products are also based, in part, upon assumptions related to persistency, which is the probability that a policy will remain in force from one period to the next. Actual persistency that is lower than our persistency assumptions could have an adverse effect on profitability, especially in the early years of a policy, primarily because we would be required to accelerate the amortization of expenses we deferred in connection with the acquisition of the policy. Actual persistency that is higher than our persistency assumptions could have an adverse effect on profitability in the later years of a block of policies because the anticipated claims experience is higher in these later years. If actual persistency is significantly different from that assumed in our pricing assumptions, our reserves for future policy benefits may prove to be inadequate. We are precluded from adjusting premiums on our in force business during the initial term of the policies, and our ability to adjust premiums on in force business after the initial policy term is limited by our insurance policy forms to the maximum premium rates in the policy.

Our assumptions and estimates regarding persistency and mortality require us to make numerous judgments and, therefore, are inherently uncertain. We cannot determine with precision the actual persistency or ultimate amounts that we will pay for actual claim payments on a block of policies, the timing of those payments, or whether the assets supporting these contingent future payment obligations will increase to the levels we estimate before payment of claims. If we conclude that our reserves, together with future premiums, are insufficient to cover actual or expected claims payments and the scheduled amortization of our DAC assets, we would be required to first accelerate our amortization of the DAC assets and then increase our reserves and incur income statement charges for the period in which we make the determination, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The occurrence of a catastrophic event could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our insurance operations are exposed to the risk of catastrophic events, which could cause a large number of premature deaths of our insureds. Catastrophic events include wars and other military actions, terrorist attacks, natural or man-made disasters and pandemics or other widespread health crises. Catastrophic events are not contemplated in our actuarial mortality models. A catastrophic event could also cause significant volatility in global financial markets and disrupt the economy. Although we have ceded a significant majority of our mortality risk to reinsurers since the mid-1990s, a catastrophic event could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Claims resulting from a catastrophic event could cause substantial volatility in our financial results for any fiscal quarter or year and could also materially harm the financial condition of our reinsurers, which would increase the probability of default on reinsurance recoveries. Our ability to write new business could also be adversely affected.

In addition, most of the jurisdictions in which our insurance subsidiaries are admitted to transact business require life insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which raise funds to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed

15

Table of Contents

issuers. It is possible that a catastrophic event could require extraordinary assessments on our insurance companies, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our insurance business is highly regulated, and statutory and regulatory changes may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Life insurance statutes and regulations are generally designed to protect the interests of the public and policyholders. Those interests may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Currently, in the United States, the power to regulate insurance resides almost exclusively with the states. Much of this state regulation follows model statutes or regulations developed or amended by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or NAIC, which is comprised of the insurance commissioners of each U.S. jurisdiction. The NAIC re-examines and amends existing model laws and regulations (including holding company regulations) in addition to determining whether new ones are needed.

The laws of the various U.S. jurisdictions grant insurance departments broad powers to regulate almost all aspects of our insurance business.

Some recent NAIC and state statutory and regulatory activity has been undertaken in response to increased federal attention focused on inefficiencies in the current U.S. state-based regulatory system. The U.S. Congress continues to examine the current condition of U.S. state-based insurance regulation to determine whether to impose federal regulation and to allow optional federal insurance company incorporation. Bills are occasionally introduced in the U.S. Congress that could affect life insurers. In addition to an optional federal charter, Congress has considered legislation pre-empting state law in certain respects in connection with the regulation of reinsurance and other matters. We cannot predict with certainty whether, or in what form, reforms will be enacted and, if so, whether the enacted reforms will positively or negatively affect our business or whether any effects will be material. Changes in federal statutes, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, financial services regulation and federal taxation, in addition to changes to state statutes and regulations, may be more restrictive than current requirements or may result in higher costs, and could materially adversely affect the insurance industry and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Provincial and federal insurance laws regulate many aspects of our Canadian insurance business. Please see the section entitled “Business — Insurance Regulation.” Changes to provincial or federal statutes and regulations may be more restrictive than current requirements or may result in higher costs could materially adversely affect the insurance industry and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If there were to be extraordinary changes to statutory or regulatory requirements, we may be unable to fully comply with or maintain all required insurance licenses and approvals. Regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licenses and approvals. If we do not have all requisite licenses and approvals, or do not comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, the regulatory authorities could preclude or temporarily suspend us from carrying on some or all of our insurance activities or monetarily penalize us, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict with certainty the effect any proposed or future legislation or regulatory initiatives may have on the conduct of our business. Please see the section entitled “Business — Regulation — Insurance Regulation.”

A decline in the risk-based capital, or RBC, of our insurance subsidiaries could result in increased scrutiny by insurance regulators and ratings agencies and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Each of our insurance subsidiaries is subject to RBC standards and other minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements (in Canada, minimum continuing capital and surplus requirements, or MCCSR) imposed under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of domicile. The RBC formula for U.S. life insurance companies

16

Table of Contents

generally establishes capital requirements relating to insurance, business, asset and interest rate risks. Our U.S. insurance subsidiaries are required to report their results of RBC calculations annually to the applicable state department of insurance and the NAIC. Our Canadian insurance subsidiary is required to provide its MCCSR calculations to the Canadian regulators. In any particular year, statutory capital and surplus amounts and RBC and MCCSR ratios may increase or decrease depending on a variety of factors, including the amount of statutory income or losses generated by our insurance subsidiaries (which is sensitive to equity and credit market conditions), the amount of additional capital our insurance subsidiaries must hold to support business growth, changes in their reserve requirements, the value of certain fixed income and equity securities in their investment portfolios, the credit ratings of investments held in their portfolios, the value of certain derivative instruments, changes in interest rates, credit market volatility, changes in consumer behavior, as well as changes to the NAIC’s RBC formula or the MCCSR calculation of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, or OSFI. Many of these factors are outside of our control. Our financial strength and credit ratings are significantly influenced by the statutory surplus amounts and RBC and MCCSR ratios of our insurance company subsidiaries. Ratings agencies may change their internal models, effectively increasing or decreasing the amount of statutory capital we must hold in order to maintain our current ratings. In addition, ratings agencies may downgrade the invested assets held in our portfolio, which could result in a reduction of our capital and surplus by means of other-than-temporary impairments. Changes in statutory accounting principles could also adversely impact our ability to meet minimum RBC, MCCSR and statutory capital and surplus requirements. Furthermore, during the initial years of operation after the Citi reinsurance transactions, our statutory capital and surplus may prove to be insufficient and we may incur ongoing statutory losses as a result of the high amounts of upfront commissions that are paid to our sales force in connection with the issuance of term life insurance policies. The statutory capital and surplus strain associated with payment of these commissions will be of greater impact during the initial years of our operations as a public company, as the in force book of business, net of the Citi reinsurance transactions, grows. There is no assurance that our insurance subsidiaries will not need additional capital or that we will be able to provide it to maintain the targeted RBC and MCCSR levels to support their business operations.

The failure of any of our insurance subsidiaries to meet its applicable RBC and MCCSR requirements or minimum capital and surplus requirements could subject it to further examination or corrective action imposed by insurance regulators, including limitations on its ability to write additional business, supervision by regulators or seizure or liquidation. Any corrective action imposed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A decline in RBC or MCCSR also limits our ability to take dividends or distributions out of the insurance subsidiary and could be a factor in causing ratings agencies to downgrade the financial strength ratings of all our insurance subsidiaries. Such downgrades would have an adverse effect on our ability to write new insurance business and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A ratings downgrade by a ratings organization could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have three insurance subsidiaries. Primerica Life Insurance Company, or Primerica Life, our Massachusetts life insurance company, National Benefit Life Insurance Company, or NBLIC, our New York life insurance company, and Primerica Life Insurance Company of Canada, or Primerica Life Canada, our Canadian life insurance company, have each been assigned a financial strength rating of “A+” (superior) by A.M. Best Co. Primerica Life currently also has an insurer financial strength rating of “AA” (very strong) from Standard & Poor’s. Primerica Life Canada and NBLIC are not rated by Standard & Poor’s.

Financial strength ratings are an important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Such ratings are important to maintaining public confidence in us and our ability to market our insurance products. Ratings organizations review the financial performance and financial conditions of insurance companies, including our three insurance subsidiaries, and provide opinions regarding financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet obligations to policyholders. A downgrade in the financial strength

17

Table of Contents

ratings of our insurance subsidiaries, or the announced potential for a downgrade, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including by:

The financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries are subject to periodic review using, among other things, the ratings agencies’ proprietary capital adequacy models, and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. Insurance financial strength ratings are directed toward the concerns of policyholders and are not intended for the protection of investors or as a recommendation to buy, hold or sell securities. This offering, the Citi reinsurance transactions, the other concurrent transactions and any potential difficulties associated with anticipated statutory losses during the initial period of operation following the Citi reinsurance transactions could cause the ratings agencies to reduce the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries, which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain clients and could result in reduced sales of our products. Our financial strength ratings will affect our competitive position relative to other insurance companies. If the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries fall below certain levels, some of our policyholders may move their business to our competitors.

In addition, the standards used by ratings agencies in determining financial strength are different from capital requirements set by insurance regulators. We may need to take actions in response to changing standards set by any of the ratings agencies, as well as statutory capital requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Credit deterioration in, and the effects of interest rate fluctuations on, our invested asset portfolio could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Following the consummation of this offering, the Citi reinsurance transactions and the other concurrent transactions, we expect that a large percentage of our invested asset portfolio will be invested in fixed income securities; as a result, credit deterioration and interest rate fluctuations could materially affect the value and earnings of our invested asset portfolio. Fixed income securities decline in value if there is no active trading market for the securities or the market’s impression of, or the ratings agencies’ views on, the credit quality of an issuer worsens. During periods of declining market interest rates, any interest income we receive on variable interest rate investments would decrease. In addition, during such periods, we would be forced to reinvest the cash we receive as interest or return of principal on our investments in lower-yielding high-grade instruments or in lower-credit instruments to maintain comparable returns. Issuers of fixed income securities could also decide to prepay their obligations in order to borrow at lower market rates, which would increase the percentage of our portfolio that we would have to reinvest in lower-yielding investments of comparable credit quality or in lower quality investments offering similar yields. If interest rates generally increase, the market value of our fixed rate income portfolio decreases. If the market value of our fixed maturity portfolio decreases, we may realize losses if we deem the value of our fixed income portfolio to be other-than-temporarily-impaired. Our invested asset portfolio is also exposed to risks associated with the broader equity markets to the extent of the relatively small position we maintain in equity securities.

Table of Contents

Valuation of our investments and the determination of whether a decline in the fair value of our invested assets is other-than-temporary are based on methodologies and estimates that may prove to be incorrect.

GAAP requires that when the fair value of our invested assets declines and such decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we recognize a loss in either accumulated other comprehensive income or on our combined statement of income based on certain criteria in the period that such determination is made. Determining the fair value of certain invested assets, particularly those that do not trade on a regular basis, requires an assessment of available data and the use of assumptions and estimates. Once it is determined that the fair value of an asset is below its carrying value, we must determine whether the decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, which is based on subjective factors and involves a variety of assumptions and estimates. For information on our valuation methodology, please see Note 2 to our audited combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies — Investments.” There are certain risks and uncertainties associated with determining whether declines in market value are other-than-temporary. These include significant changes in general economic conditions and business markets, trends in certain industry segments, interest rate fluctuations, rating agency actions, changes in significant accounting estimates and assumptions and legislative actions. In the case of mortgage-and other asset-backed securities, there is added uncertainty as to the performance of the underlying collateral assets. To the extent that we are incorrect in our determination of fair value of our investment securities or our determination that a decline in their value is other-than-temporary, we may realize losses that never actually materialize or may fail to recognize losses within the appropriate reporting period.

The failure by any of our reinsurers to perform its obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We extensively use reinsurance in the United States to diversify our risk and to manage our loss exposure to mortality risk. Reinsurance does not relieve us of our direct liability to our policyholders, even when the reinsurer is liable to us. We, as the insurer, are required to pay the full amount of death benefits even in circumstances where we are entitled to receive payments from the reinsurer. Due to factors such as insolvency, adverse underwriting results or inadequate investment returns, our reinsurers may not be able to pay the reinsurance recoverables they owe to us on a timely basis or at all. Reinsurers might refuse or fail to pay losses that we cede to them or might delay payment. Since death benefit claims may be paid long after a policy is issued, we bear credit risk with respect to our reinsurers. The creditworthiness of our reinsurers may change before we can recover amounts to which we are entitled.

No assurance is given that our reinsurers will pay the reinsurance recoverables owed to us now or in the future or that they will pay these recoverables on a timely basis. Any such failure to pay by our reinsurers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The failure by Citi to perform its obligations to us under our co-insurance agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into a total of four co-insurance agreements with three affiliates of Citi pursuant to which we will cede between 80% and 90% of the risks and rewards of our term life insurance policies that will be in force at December 31, 2009. We estimate that the insurance policies will have allocable general account reserves of approximately $         billion at such date. Under this arrangement, our current third party reinsurance agreements will remain in place. The largest of these transactions will involve two reinsurance agreements between Primerica Life and a newly-formed Citi-owned Vermont special purpose financial insurance company, or SPFC. SPFC will be formed solely for the purpose of entering into these reinsurance transactions, has no operating history and does not possess a financial strength rating from any rating agency. The other transactions will be between (1) Primerica Life Canada and Financial Reassurance Company, Ltd., or FRAC, an unrated Bermuda reinsurer that operates solely for the purpose of reinsuring Citi-related risks

and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citi, and (2) NBLIC and American Health and Life Insurance Company, or AHL, a wholly owned insurance subsidiary of Citi that has a financial strength rating of “A” by A.M.

Each of the three reinsurers will enter into trust agreements with our respective insurance subsidiaries and a third party trustee pursuant to which the reinsurer will place assets (primarily treasury and fixed income securities) in trust for such subsidiary’s benefit to secure the reinsurer’s obligations to such subsidiary. Each such reinsurance agreement will require each reinsurer to maintain assets in trust sufficient to give the subsidiary full credit for regulatory purposes for the insurance, which amount will not be less than the amount of the reserves for the reinsured liabilities. In addition, in the case of the reinsurance transactions between SPFC and Primerica Life, Citi will agree in a capital maintenance agreement to maintain SPFC’s RBC above a specified minimum level, subject to a maximum amount of $       million being contributed by Citi. After the first five years of the capital maintenance agreement, the maximum amount payable will be an amount equal to a fixed percentage of total statutory reserves. In the case of the reinsurance transaction between NBLIC and AHL, Citi will over-collateralize the assets in the trust for NBLIC by         % for the life of the reinsurance agreement between NBLIC and AHL. Furthermore, our insurance subsidiaries will have the right to recapture the business upon the occurrence of an event of default under their respective reinsurance agreement with Citi affiliates. An event of default includes (1) a reinsurer insolvency, (2) failure through the fault of the reinsurer to maintain the fair market value of the assets in trust equal to the statutory reserves required to be carried for the reinsured liabilities or (3) a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by the reinsurer. While any such recapture will be at no cost to us, such recapture will result in a substantial increase in our insurance exposure and require us to be fully responsible for the management of the assets set aside to support statutory reserves. The type of assets we might obtain as a result of a recapture may not be as highly liquid as our current invested asset portfolio and could result in an unfavorable impact on our risk profile. Please see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship with Citi Following this Offering — Citi Reinsurance Transactions” for a further description of these reinsurance agreements and the related trust agreements.

No assurance is given that the relevant Citi reinsurer will pay the reinsurance obligations owed to us now or in the future or that it will pay these obligations on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the capital maintenance agreement between SPFC and Citi and the initial over-collateralization of assets in trust for the benefit of our insurance companies, if any of our reinsurers affiliated with Citi becomes insolvent, the amount in the trust account to support the obligations of such reinsurer is insufficient to pay such reinsurer’s obligations to us and we fail to enforce our right to recapture the business, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

YRT reinsurance may not be available or affordable in the future to limit our mortality risk exposure.

As described above, we have historically used yearly-renewable term reinsurance, known as YRT, to manage our loss exposure to mortality risks. It is our current intention to continue our practice of purchasing mortality reinsurance in the future consistent with our past practice. While YRT reinsurance agreements generally bind the reinsurers for the life of the business reinsured at generally fixed pricing, market conditions beyond our control determine the availability and cost of the reinsurance protection for new business. We may not be able to maintain our current YRT reinsurance agreements in adequate amounts and at favorable rates. Any decrease in the amount of YRT reinsurance will increase our exposure to mortality risks.

Risks Related to Our Investments and Savings Products Business

A decision by certain mutual funds to discontinue custodial or recordkeeping services with us would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant portion of our earnings from investment and savings products comes from fees earned for custodial services and recordkeeping services that we provide to clients that hold mutual funds of certain mutual fund companies. A decision by one or more of these fund companies to discontinue these services would result in

20

Table of Contents

a significant loss in recordkeeping and custodial fee revenue. We also receive revenue sharing payments from certain mutual fund companies based on our sales and our clients’ asset values. A decision by one or more of these fund companies to alter or discontinue these arrangements would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and provincial securities legislation and regulation, changes in which may require us to alter our business practices and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

U.S. federal and state securities laws apply to our sales of mutual funds and certain insurance products that are also “securities,” including variable annuities. As a broker-dealer, our subsidiary, PFS Investments, is subject to federal and state regulation of its securities business, including sales practices, trade suitability, supervision of registered representatives, receipt and safekeeping of consumers’ funds, recordkeeping, the conduct and qualification of officers and employees, the rules and regulations of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and state blue sky regulation. Violations of laws or regulations applicable to the activities of PFS Investments could subject it to disciplinary actions and could result in the imposition of cease and desist orders, fines or censures, restitution to clients, disciplinary actions, including the potential suspension or revocation of its license by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or the suspension or expulsion from FINRA and reputational damage. Our subsidiary, Primerica Shareholder Services, or PSS, is a registered transfer agent engaged in the recordkeeping business and is subject to SEC regulation and, therefore, could face similar disciplinary actions for violations of applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, there is a risk that a third party with which PSS contracts will improperly perform its task, which could subject us to liability. Changes in, or violations of, any of these laws or regulations could affect the cost of, or our ability to distribute, our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to the securities laws of the provinces and territories of Canada in which we sell our mutual fund products and those of third parties. We are also subject to the rules of the self-regulatory organization governing mutual fund dealers, the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada, or MFDA. Our Canadian dealer subsidiary, PFSL Investments Canada Ltd., or PFSL Investments Canada, is registered as a mutual fund dealer in all Canadian provinces and territories in which we sell investment and savings products and is regulated by the MFDA, as well as by all provincial and territorial securities commissions. Our sales representatives who sell mutual funds through PFSL Investments Canada are required to be registered representatives of PFSL Investments Canada and are also subject to regulation by the MFDA and the provincial and territorial securities commissions. PFSL Investments Canada is subject to periodic review by both the MFDA and the provincial and territorial securities commissions to assess its compliance with, among other things, applicable capital requirements and sales practices and procedures. These regulators have broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict the conduct of our business for failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations. Possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual sales representatives, limitations on the activities in which the dealer may engage, suspension or revocation of the dealer registration, censure or fines. Changes in, or violations of, any of these laws or regulations could affect the cost of, or our ability to distribute, our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If heightened standards of conduct are imposed on us or our sales representatives as a result of currently pending legislation, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

PFS Investments, which is regulated as a broker-dealer, and our U.S. sales representatives are currently subject to general anti-fraud limitations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and SEC rules and regulations, as well as other conduct standards prescribed by FINRA. These standards generally require that broker-dealers and their sales representatives disclose conflicts of interest that might affect the advice or recommendations they provide. The Investor Protection Act of 2009, or IPA, proposed by the Treasury

21

Table of Contents

Department in July 2009, would, if enacted, establish fiduciary duties for broker-dealers similar to those imposed on investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and could limit or ban mandatory arbitration provisions in our client agreements. If the IPA is enacted, our sales representatives would, among other requirements, be required to adhere to heightened standards of conduct and to disclose any conflicts of interest and compensation structures. The IPA would also enhance the SEC’s enforcement powers by expanding the scope of enforcement actions for aiding and abetting violations, increasing the SEC’s authority to ban persons from selling our products and increasing the potential recovery for whistleblowers. If the IPA is enacted, it could result in increased litigation, regulatory risks, sanctions, changes to our business model or a reduction of the products we offer to our clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our suitability policies and procedures could be deemed inadequate.

We review account applications for our investment or savings product received by us for suitability. While we believe that our policies and procedures implemented to help our sales representatives assist clients in making appropriate and suitable investment choices are reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations, it is possible that FINRA and MFDA may not agree. In that event, we could be subject to regulatory actions or civil litigation, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our sales force support tools may fail to appropriately identify suitable investment products.

Our support tools are designed to educate the client, to help identify a client’s financial needs, illustrate the potential benefits of our products and allow a sales representative to show the client how a sales representative’s recommendations may help them. There is a risk that the assumptions and methods of analyses embedded in our support tools could be successfully challenged and subject us to regulatory actions or civil litigation, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Non-compliance with applicable regulations could lead to revocation of our subsidiary’s status as a non-bank custodian.

PFS Investments is a non-bank custodian of retirement accounts, as permitted under Treasury Regulation 1.408-2. The IRS retains authority to revoke or suspend that status if it finds that PFS Investments is unwilling or unable to administer retirement accounts in a manner consistent with the requirements of the regulations. Revocation of PFS Investments’ non-bank custodian status would affect its ability to earn revenue for providing such services and, consequently, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Loan Business

The current economic environment and stringent credit policies may continue to negatively affect our loan production.

In response to recent economic conditions and consistent with steps taken by other mortgage lenders generally, our mortgage lenders have implemented more rigorous credit standards, including more restrictive loan-to-value limitations and more restrictive underwriting criteria, which have adversely affected our loan business since the second half of 2008. We anticipate that these credit restrictions will be ongoing, and it is possible that further restrictive underwriting criteria may be imposed by our mortgage lenders in reaction to changes in the economic environment or by new legislative or regulatory requirements impacting mortgage lending generally. Heightened credit standards could materially reduce the volume of our loan sales. In addition, it is possible that our mortgage lender in the United States, Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb, or CTB, will modify the mortgage product that it currently offers to make it a conforming loan product that would be saleable to one of

22

Table of Contents

the government-sponsored enterprises. This modification may result in more restrictive underwriting criteria and materially adversely affect the volume of loans that we sell. Any change to a conforming product could materially adversely impact the compensation paid to our loan broker, Primerica Financial Services Home Mortgages, Inc., or Primerica Mortgages.

While mortgage origination historically has not accounted for a significant portion of our earnings, sourcing of mortgage loans historically has provided an opportunity for new sales representatives to receive commissions before they have completed the licensing process that is required in order to sell life insurance and certain other products. Additionally, some of our sales representatives use loan product sales efforts as a gateway to establish an ongoing relationship with clients. Consequently, the reduction in the scale of our loan product distribution business and the related commission compensation to our sales force may cause us to have fewer sales representatives and impede our overall growth.

The loss of our Citi-affiliated lenders may reduce sales of our loan products.

Our sales representatives in the United States sell mortgage products of CTB through Primerica Mortgages, and also sell unsecured loans of Citibank, N.A., or Citibank. Our sales representatives in Canada refer mortgage loan clients to Citicorp Home Mortgage, a division of CitiFinancial Canada, Inc., or CitiFinancial Canada. However, our current Citi-affiliated lenders are not obligated, and have made no commitment, to continue serving as our lenders following this offering. Although we currently anticipate that there will be a transition period following this offering, during which our Citi-affiliated lenders will continue to serve as our lenders, there is no guarantee that such a transition period will occur or any certainty regarding the potential terms of our commercial relationships with our lenders during any such transition period, and our current lenders are under no obligation to continue serving as our lenders after such transition period, if any, expires. Consequently, CTB and Citicorp Home Mortgage may choose to no longer serve as our mortgage lenders, and Citibank may choose to no longer permit us to sell its unsecured loans. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate viable arrangements with other lenders that will allow Primerica Mortgages to continue to offer, and our sales representatives in Canada to continue to refer, loan products in the future. In the United States, we currently anticipate that if Primerica Mortgages is able to find a new lender or lenders, or if Primerica Mortgages continues with CTB as our mortgage lender, we will only be able to offer traditional conforming loans, which may have more restrictions than the loan products we currently offer. These restrictions could limit our product offering and, therefore, materially negatively affect our sales. In addition, in Canada, there is some uncertainty as to the availability of funding for our loan referral program. Should funding be significantly restricted, and we are unable to secure an alternate lending source, our ability to offer the loan referral program in Canada would be significantly reduced or curtailed.

New licensing requirements will continue to significantly reduce the size of our loan sales force.

The number of our sales representatives who are authorized to sell loan products in the United States has decreased and will continue to decrease due to the implementation of individual licensing requirements mandated by the recently enacted Federal Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008, or the “SAFE Act.” The SAFE Act requires all states to enact laws that require all U.S. sales representatives to be individually licensed or registered if they intend to offer the mortgage loan products that we distribute in the United States. Prior to the enactment of the SAFE Act, our sales representatives were not required to be individually licensed or registered to sell mortgage loan products in the majority of states. By the end of 2010, we anticipate that all of our sales representatives who engage in our loan business will be subject to the SAFE Act licensing or registration requirements. These licensing requirements include enrollment in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System, application to state regulators for individual licenses, a minimum of 20 hours of pre-licensing education, an annual minimum of eight hours of continuing education and the successful completion of both national and state exams. We expect that compliance with these licensing and registration regimes (including background checks) may be prohibitive in terms of cost or time for a large number of our sales representatives. In addition, we currently anticipate that the exams may prove to be challenging to pass and that many of our sales

23

Table of Contents

representatives could find the educational and testing requirements or the associated necessary preparation time inconvenient or daunting. We currently expect that the SAFE Act licensing and registration requirements will cause a significant reduction in the scale of our loan product distribution business in the near term, which could materially adversely affect our loan product sales.

Our loan business is subject to various federal laws, changes in which could affect the cost or our ability to distribute our products and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our U.S. loan business is subject to various federal laws, including the Truth In Lending Act and its implementing regulation, Regulation Z, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and its implementing regulation, Regulation B, the Fair Housing Act and the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act. We are also subject to the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act, or RESPA, and its implementing regulation, Regulation X, which requires timely disclosures related to the nature and costs of real estate settlement amounts and limits those costs and compensation to amounts reasonably related to the services performed. Additionally, we must comply with various state and local laws and policies concerning the provision of consumer disclosures, net branching, predatory lending and high cost loans and recordkeeping. For example, under the predatory lending and high cost loan laws of some states, the origination of certain residential mortgage loans, including loans that are not classified as “high cost” loans under applicable law, must satisfy tangible benefits tests with respect to the related borrower. Differing interpretations of, changes in, or violations of, any of these laws or regulations could subject us to damages, fines or sanctions and could affect the cost or our ability to distribute our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Other Risks Related to Our Business

The continuing effects of the downturn in the North American economy could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been materially adversely affected by the recent economic crisis in North America, including increased volatility in the availability and cost of credit, shrinking mortgage markets, falling equity values and consumer confidence and general instability of financial and other institutions. In an economic downturn like the recent one, which is characterized by higher unemployment, lower family income, lower valuation of retirement savings accounts, lower corporate earnings, lower business investment and lower consumer spending, the demand for term life insurance products, variable annuities, mutual funds and other financial products that we sell has been adversely affected. A continuation of the effects of the economic downturn could severely affect new sales and cause clients to liquidate mutual funds and other investments sold by our sales representatives. This could cause a decrease in the asset value of client accounts, reduce our trailing commission revenues and result in other-than-temporary-impairments in our invested asset portfolio. In addition, we may experience an elevated incidence of lapses or surrenders of insurance policies, and some of our policyholders may choose to defer paying insurance premiums or stop paying insurance premiums altogether. Downturns and volatility in equity markets may discourage purchases of variable annuities and mutual funds that we sell for third parties. Moreover, if the effects of the recent downturn continue, it will likely have an adverse effect on our business, including our ability to efficiently access the capital markets for capital management purposes. If credit markets remain tight for a prolonged period, our liquidity will be more limited than it otherwise would have been, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to various federal laws and regulations in the United States and Canada, changes in which or violations of which may require us to alter our business practices and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the United States, we are subject to the Right to Financial Privacy Act and its implementing regulation, Regulation S-P, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,

24

Table of Contents

the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the FTC Act, the Unfair Trade Practices Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Bank Holding Company Act Amendments of 1970 and anti-tying restrictions. We are also subject to anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the Patriot Act, which requires us to develop and implement customer identification and risk-based anti-money laundering programs, report suspicious activity and maintain certain records. We are also required to follow certain economic and trade sanctions programs that are administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Control that prohibit or restrict transactions with suspected countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals.

In Canada, we are subject to provincial and territorial consumer protection legislation that pertains to unfair and misleading business practices, provincial and territorial credit reporting legislation that provides requirements in respect of obtaining credit bureau reports and providing notices of decline, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Competition Act, the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, the Telecommunications Act and certain CRTC Telcom Decisions in respect of unsolicited telecommunications. We are also subject to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and its accompanying regulations, which require us to develop and implement money laundering policies and procedures relating to customer indemnification, reporting and recordkeeping, develop and maintain ongoing training programs for employees, perform a risk assessment on our business and clients and institute and document a review of our anti-money laundering program at least once every two years. We are also required to follow certain economic and trade sanctions and legislation that prohibit us from, among other things, engaging in transactions with, and providing services to, persons on lists created under various federal statutes and regulations and blocked persons and foreign countries and territories subject to Canadian sanctions administered by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada and the Department of Public Safety Canada.

Changes in, or violations of, any of these laws or regulations may require additional compliance procedures, or result in enforcement proceedings, sanctions or penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Legal and regulatory investigations and actions may result in financial losses and harm our reputation.

We face a risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses. From time to time, we are subject to private litigation and regulatory investigations as a result of sales representative misconduct. Please see the risk factor above entitled “— Our sales representatives’ non-compliance with any applicable laws could subject us to material liabilities.” In addition, we may become subject to suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, payment of improper sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, recommending unsuitable sales of products to clients and our pricing structures. Life insurance companies have historically been subject to substantial litigation resulting from policy disputes and other matters. For example, they have faced extensive claims alleging improper life insurance sales practices. If we become subject to similar litigation, any judgment or settlement of such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we are subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities. For example, we have a large sales force, and we could face claims by some of our sales representatives arising out of their relationship with us, including claims involving contract terminations, commission disputes, transfers of sales representatives from one sales organization to another, agreements among sales representatives or between us and a sales representative or any of our other dealings with, or policies regarding, sales representatives. We are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas and books and record examinations, from state, provincial and federal regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

25

Table of Contents

Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in any such litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The inability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make distributions or other payments to us in sufficient amounts, including due to bankruptcy or insolvency, would impede our ability to meet our obligations.

We are a holding company, and we have no operations. Our primary asset will be the capital stock of our subsidiaries. We will rely primarily on dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries to meet our operating costs and other corporate expenses, as well as to pay dividends to our stockholders. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us in the future will depend on their earnings, covenants contained in future financing or other agreements and on regulatory restrictions. The ability of our insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends will further depend on their statutory surplus. If the cash we receive from our subsidiaries pursuant to dividend payments and tax sharing arrangements is insufficient for us to fund our obligations, or if a subsidiary is unable to pay dividends to us, we may be required to raise cash through the incurrence of debt, the issuance of equity or the sale of assets. However, given the recent volatility in the capital markets, there is no assurance that we would be able to raise cash by these means.

The payment of dividends and other distributions to us by our insurance subsidiaries is regulated by insurance laws and regulations. The jurisdictions in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled impose certain restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to us. In the United States, these restrictions are based, in part, on the prior year’s statutory income and surplus. In general, dividends up to specified levels are considered ordinary and may be paid without prior approval. For example, in Massachusetts the ordinary dividend capacity for Primerica Life is based on the greater of (1) 10% of the previous year-end statutory capital and surplus or (2) the previous year’s statutory net gain from operations. Dividends in larger amounts are subject to approval by the insurance commissioner of the state of domicile. In Canada, dividends can be paid, subject to the paying insurance company continuing to meet the regulatory requirements for capital adequacy and liquidity and upon 15 days minimum notice to OSFI. No assurance is given that more stringent restrictions will not be adopted from time to time by jurisdictions in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, and such restrictions could have the effect, under certain circumstances, of significantly reducing dividends or other amounts payable to us by our subsidiaries without prior approval by regulatory authorities. In addition, in the future, we may become subject to debt instruments or other agreements that limit our ability to pay dividends. The ability of our insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to us is also limited by our need to maintain the financial strength ratings assigned to us by the ratings agencies.

If any of our subsidiaries were to become insolvent, liquidate or otherwise reorganize, we, as sole stockholder, will have no right to proceed against the assets of that subsidiary. Furthermore, with respect to our insurance subsidiaries, we, as sole stockholder, will have no right to cause the liquidation, bankruptcy or winding-up of the subsidiary under the applicable liquidation, bankruptcy or winding-up laws, although, in Canada, we could apply for permission to cause liquidation. The applicable insurance laws of the jurisdictions in which each of our insurance subsidiaries is domiciled would govern any proceedings relating to that subsidiary. The insurance authority of that jurisdiction would act as a liquidator or rehabilitator for the subsidiary. Both creditors of the subsidiary and policyholders (if an insurance subsidiary) would be entitled to payment in full from the subsidiary’s assets before we, as the sole stockholder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from the subsidiary, which could adversely affect our ability to pay our operating costs and other corporate expenses.

If the ability of our insurance or non-insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments to us is materially restricted by regulatory requirements, bankruptcy or insolvency, or our need to maintain our financial strength ratings, or is limited due to operating results or other factors, it could materially adversely affect our ability to pay our operating costs and other corporate expenses.

26

Table of Contents

We may need to incur debt or issue additional equity in order to meet our operating and regulatory capital requirements.

In light of the cash outflows associated with issuing new term life insurance policies and the Citi reinsurance transactions, there will be significant demands on our liquidity in the near to intermediate term. Therefore, in order to meet our operating and regulatory requirements, we may need to incur debt or issue additional equity in order to fund working capital and capital expenditures or to make acquisitions and other investments. If we raise funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred equity securities, any such debt securities or preferred equity securities issued will have liquidation rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity securities, the issuance will dilute your ownership interest in us. There is no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are not able to obtain sufficient financing, we may be unable to maintain or grow our business.

Our non-compliance with the covenants of the Citi note could result in a reduction in our liquidity and lead to downgrades in our financial strength ratings.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we will issue to Citi the $         million Citi note. Our obligations under the Citi note are subject to our compliance with the covenants contained therein. Our failure to comply with these covenants would restrict our liquidity and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant change in the competitive environment in which we operate could negatively affect our ability to maintain or increase our market share and profitability.

We face competition in all of our business lines. Our competitors include financial services companies, mutual fund companies, banks, investment management firms, broker-dealers, insurance companies and direct sales companies. In many of our product lines, we face competition from competitors that have greater market share or breadth of distribution, offer a broader range of products, services or features, assume a greater level of risk, have lower profitability expectations or have higher financial strength ratings than we do. A significant change in this competitive environment could materially adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase our market share and profitability.

The loss of key personnel could negatively affect our financial results and impair our ability to implement our business strategy.

Our success substantially depends on our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team. The efforts, personality and leadership of our senior management team have been, and will continue to be, critical to our success. The loss of service of our senior management team due to disability, death, retirement or some other cause could reduce our ability to successfully motivate our sales representatives and implement our business plan and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. John Addison and Rick Williams, our co-CEOs, are well regarded by our sales representatives and have substantial experience in our business and, therefore, are particularly important to our company. Although both Messrs. Addison and Williams are expected to enter into employment agreements with us, there is no assurance that they will do so or, if they do, that they will complete the term of their employment agreements or renew them upon expiration.

In addition, the loss of key RVPs for any reason could negatively affect our financial results and could impair our ability to attract new sales representatives. Please see the risk factor above entitled “— Our failure to continue to attract large numbers of new recruits and retain sales representatives or to maintain the licensing success of our sales representatives would materially adversely affect our business.”

If one of our significant information technology systems fails or if its security is compromised, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our information technology systems, which are centered on a mainframe platform supported by servers housed at our Duluth and Roswell, Georgia sites. We rely on these systems throughout our business for a variety of functions. Our information technology systems run a variety of third party and proprietary software, including Primerica Online (our website portal to our sales force), our insurance administration system, Virtual Base Shop (our paperless office for RVPs), TurboApps (our point-of-sale data collection tool for product/recruiting applications), our licensing decision and support system and our compensation system.

Despite the implementation of security and back-up measures, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to physical or electronic intrusions, viruses or other attacks, programming errors and similar disruptions. The failure of any one of these systems for any reason could cause significant interruptions to our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We retain confidential information in our information technology systems, and we rely on industry standard commercial technologies to maintain the security of those systems. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures and penetrate our information technology systems could access, view, misappropriate, alter, or delete information in the systems, including personally identifiable client information and proprietary business information. In addition, an increasing number of jurisdictions require that clients be notified if a security breach results in the disclosure of personally identifiable client information. Any compromise of the security of our information technology systems that results in inappropriate disclosure or use of personally identifiable client information could damage our reputation in the marketplace, deter people from purchasing our products, subject us to significant civil and criminal liability and require us to incur significant technical, legal and other expenses.

In the event of a disaster, our business continuity plan may not be sufficient, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our infrastructure supports a combination of local and remote recovery solutions for business resumption in the event of a disaster. In the event of either a campus-wide destruction of all buildings or the inability to access our main campus in Duluth, Georgia, our business recovery plan provides for our employees to perform their work functions via a dedicated business recovery site located 25 miles from our main campus, by remote access from an employee’s home or by relocation of employees to our New York or Ontario offices. However, in the event of a full scale local or regional disaster, our business recovery plan may be inadequate, and our employees and sales representatives may be unable to carry out their work, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be materially adversely affected by currency fluctuations in the United States dollar versus the Canadian dollar.

Over the three year period ended December 31, 2008, we derived approximately 13% and 17% of our revenues and pre-tax earnings, respectively, from our Canadian businesses. In recent periods, there have been significant exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. A weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would result in lower levels of reported revenues, net income, assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income in our U.S. dollar combined financials statements. We have not historically hedged against this exposure. Significant exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Relationship with Citi

Control of our company by Citi may result in conflicts of interest.

After the completion of this offering, Citi will beneficially own             million shares of our common stock, representing     % of the voting power of our outstanding common stock.

As long as Citi owns shares of our common stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of our outstanding voting securities, Citi will generally be able to determine the outcome of all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors. As a result, Citi will be in a position to continue to control most of our significant corporate actions. Please see the section entitled “Principal and Selling Stockholder” included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Under the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, the prior consent of Citi will be required in connection with certain corporate actions by us until Citi ceases to beneficially own shares of our common stock entitled to 50% or more of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of our then outstanding common stock and, with respect to certain other actions, until Citi ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of our then outstanding common stock. Please see the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock — Certificate of Incorporation Provision Relating to Control by Citi.”

Because Citi’s interests may differ from ours, actions that Citi, as our controlling stockholder, may take with respect to us may not be favorable to us. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise between us and Citi in a number of areas relating to our past and ongoing relationships.

Citi and its directors and officers will have limited liability to us or you for breach of fiduciary duty.

Our certificate of incorporation will provide that, subject to any contractual provision to the contrary (including the intercompany agreement), Citi will have no obligation to refrain from:

Under our certificate of incorporation, neither Citi nor any officer or director of Citi, except as provided in our certificate of incorporation, will be liable to us or to our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any of these activities. Please see the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock — Certificate of Incorporation Provision Relating to Corporate Opportunities and Interested Directors.”

If Citi engages in the same type of business we conduct, our ability to successfully operate and expand our business may be hampered.

Because Citi may engage in the same activities in which we engage (subject to the terms of the intercompany agreement), there is a risk that we may be in direct competition with Citi with respect to insurance underwriting or distribution activities. To address these potential conflicts, we will adopt a corporate opportunity policy which will be incorporated into our certificate of incorporation.

Please see the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock — Certificate of Incorporation Provision Relating to Corporate Opportunities and Interested Directors.” Due to the significant resources of Citi, including financial resources and name recognition, Citi could have a significant competitive advantage over us should it decide to engage in the type of business we conduct, which may cause our business to be materially adversely affected.

Some of our arrangements with Citi may not be sustained at the same levels as when we were wholly owned by Citi.

We have, and after this offering will continue to have, contractual arrangements which require Citi and its affiliates to provide certain services to us. Following this offering, many of these services will be governed by a transition services agreement between Citi and us. There is no assurance that upon termination or expiration of the transition services agreement, these services will be sustained at the same levels as they were when we were receiving such services from Citi or that we will obtain the same benefits. We may not be able to replace services and arrangements in a timely manner or on terms and conditions, including cost, as favorable as those we have previously received from Citi. The agreements with Citi and its affiliates were entered into in the context of a parent-wholly owned subsidiary relationship, and we may have to pay higher prices for similar services from Citi or unaffiliated third parties in the future. Please see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship with Citi Following this Offering — Transition Services Agreement.”

Our historical combined and pro forma financial data are not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as a stand-alone company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.

Our historical combined financial data included in this prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows we would have achieved as a stand-alone company during the periods presented or those we will achieve in the future. This is primarily the result of the following factors:

Our financial condition and future results of operations, after giving effect to the Citi reinsurance transactions and the other concurrent transactions, will be materially different from amounts reflected in our combined financial statements that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. As a result of these transactions, it may be difficult for investors to compare our future results to historical results or to evaluate our relative performance or trends in our business. For an understanding of pro forma combined financial statements taking into account, among other things, the Citi reinsurance transactions and the other concurrent transactions, please see the risk factor above entitled “— The failure by Citi affiliates to perform their obligations to us under our co-insurance agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations” and the section entitled “Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements.”

We expect to incur significant charges in connection with this offering and incremental costs as a stand-alone public company.

We will need to replicate or replace certain facilities, systems and infrastructure to which we will no longer have the same access after this offering. In addition, we expect to incur significant non-cash compensation charges associated with the grant of equity awards to our sales representatives and employees. We will also need

30

Table of Contents

to make significant investments to operate without the same access to Citi’s existing operational and administrative infrastructure. These initiatives will be costly to implement. We estimate that we will incur $       in total pre-tax costs related to this offering. Due to the scope and complexity of the underlying projects relative to these efforts, the amount of total costs could be materially higher than our estimate, and the timing of the incurrence of these costs is subject to change.

Citi currently performs or supports many important corporate functions for our operations, including information technology, treasury, financial reporting, tax administration, human resources administration, government relations, procurement and other services. Our combined financial statements reflect charges for these services. Following this offering, many of these services will be governed by a transition services agreement with Citi. For more information regarding transition services, please see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” There is no assurance that upon termination or expiration of the transition services agreement, these services will be sustained at the same levels as when we were receiving such services from Citi or that we will obtain the same benefits. When we begin to operate these functions independently, if we do not have our own adequate systems and business functions in place, or are unable to obtain them from other providers, we may not be able to operate our business effectively or at comparable costs, and our profitability may decline. In addition, our business has benefited from Citi’s purchasing power when procuring goods and services, including office supplies and equipment, employee benefit platforms, travel services and computer software licenses. As a stand-alone company, we may be unable to obtain such goods and services at comparable prices or on terms as favorable as those obtained prior to this offering, which could decrease our overall profitability.

This offering and future sales of our common stock by Citi could adversely affect our business and profitability due to our loss of Citi’s strong brand, reputation and capital base.

As a subsidiary of Citi, we have marketed our products and services using the tag line, “Primerica, a Citi Company,” and we believe the association with Citi has provided us with preferred status among our clients, vendors and other persons due to Citi’s globally recognized brand, perceived high quality products and services, and strong capital base and financial strength. This offering could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain clients, which could result in reduced sales of our products. The loss of the Citi brand may also prompt some third parties to reprice, modify or terminate their distribution or vendor relationships with us. We cannot predict with certainty the effect that this offering will have on our business, our clients, vendors or other persons.

If Citi sells a controlling interest in our company to a third party in a private transaction, you may not realize any change of control premium on the shares of our common stock purchased in this offering.

Following this offering, Citi will continue to own at least a majority equity interest in our company. Citi will have the ability, should it choose to do so, to sell some or all of its shares of our common stock in a privately negotiated transaction, which, if sufficient in size, could result in a change of control of our company. Citi’s ability to privately sell its shares of our common stock, with no requirement for a concurrent offer to be made for the shares of our common stock that will be publicly traded hereafter, could prevent you from realizing any change of control premium on your shares of our common stock that may otherwise accrue to Citi upon its private sale of our common stock. Additionally, if Citi privately sells its majority equity interest in our company, we will be subject to the control of a presently unknown third party. Citi has indicated that, except as otherwise described in this prospectus, it does not currently have any agreement or understanding with respect to the disposition of its remaining ownership stake in us.

We are subject to banking regulations that may limit our business activities.

Citi’s relationship and good standing with its regulators are important to the conduct of our business. Citi is a bank holding company and a “financial holding company” regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or FRB, under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, or the BHC Act. The BHC Act imposes

31

Table of Contents

regulations and requirements on Citi and on any company that the FRB deems to be controlled by Citi. The regulation of Citi and its controlled companies under applicable banking laws is intended primarily for the protection of Citi’s banking subsidiaries, their depositors, the deposit insurance fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the banking system as a whole, rather than for the protection of stockholders or creditors of Citi or us. Because we are controlled by Citi, we are currently subject to regulation, supervision, examination and potential enforcement action by the FRB. Following this offering, we will continue to be controlled by Citi for bank regulatory purposes and, therefore, we will continue to be subject to regulation by the FRB and to most banking laws, regulations and orders that apply to Citi.

We will remain subject to this regulatory regime until Citi is no longer deemed to control us for bank regulatory purposes, which may not occur until Citi has significantly reduced its ownership interest in us. The ownership level at which the FRB would consider us no longer controlled by Citi will depend on the circumstances at that time (such as the extent of our relationships with Citi) and could be less than 5%. For so long as we are subject to the BHC Act, we generally may conduct only activities that are authorized for a “financial holding company” under the BHC Act, which in some cases are more restrictive than those available to us under applicable insurance regulatory requirements. There are limits on the ability of bank subsidiaries of Citi to extend credit to, or conduct other transactions with, us. Citi and its subsidiaries are also subject to examination by various banking regulators, which results in examination reports and ratings that may adversely impact the conduct and growth of our businesses. The FRB has broad enforcement authority over us, including the power to prohibit us from conducting any activity that, in the FRB’s opinion, is unauthorized or constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting our business. The FRB may also impose substantial fines and other penalties for violations of applicable banking laws, regulations and orders. The failure of Citi to maintain its status as a financial holding company could result in substantial limitations on certain of our activities and our growth. In addition, pursuant to the intercompany agreement we will enter into with Citi, we will agree not to take any action or fail to take any action that would result in Citi being in non-compliance with the BHC Act or any other applicable bank regulatory law, rule, regulation, guidance, order or directive.

In addition, our business in Canada is subject to Bank Act restrictions for so long as Citi has control of us (in fact or in law). In general, these restrictions permit Citi to carry on in Canada those businesses that Canadian banks are permitted to conduct, and permit Citi to control (including by way of control in fact), or to hold a “substantial investment” in (i.e., more than 25% of the equity or, for a corporation, more than 10% of the voting power), those types of Canadian entities that Canadian banks are permitted to control or in which they are permitted to make substantial investments. Such permitted businesses and investments include most, but not all, financial service businesses, certain related businesses and, subject to limits as to size, scope and length of time held, other businesses. Implementing such business ventures may be subject to a requirement to obtain prior regulatory approval, and are subject to regulatory oversight. We may also be subject to other foreign banking laws and supervision that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our employees may be subject to compensation restrictions under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

For so long as Citi continues to own at least a majority equity interest in us following this offering, our employees will continue to be considered employees of Citi for purposes of determining whether their compensation is subject to restrictions under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. If the compensation that can be paid to or accrued with respect to certain members of our senior management team were to be so restricted, it could materially adversely affect our ability to retain those members of our senior management or attract suitable replacements.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, and you may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the initial public offering price.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. An active trading market for shares of our common stock may never develop or be sustained following this offering. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling your shares of common stock at an attractive price, or at all. The price for our common stock in this offering will be determined by negotiations among Citi and representatives of the underwriters, and it may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at any other price or at the time that you would like to sell. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling our common stock, and it may impair our ability to motivate our employees and sales representatives through equity incentive awards and our ability to acquire other companies, products or technologies by using our common stock as consideration.

We expect that the price of our common stock will fluctuate substantially.

You should consider an investment in our common stock to be risky, and you should invest in our common stock only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. Some factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, in addition to the other risks mentioned in this section of the prospectus, are:

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress our common stock price.

Upon completion of this offering, Citi will own              shares of our common stock. Citi intends to divest its remaining interest in us as soon as is practicable, subject to market and other conditions. Future sales of these shares in the public market will be subject to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act for so long as Citi is deemed to be our affiliate, unless the shares to be sold are registered with the SEC. We

33

Table of Contents

will grant Citi demand registration rights, beginning 180 days after the consummation of this offering, with respect to registration of such shares of common stock with the SEC. Please see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship with Citi Following this Offering — Intercompany Agreement — Registration Rights.” We are unable to predict with certainty whether or when Citi will sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock. Sales by Citi of a substantial number of shares after this offering, or a perception that such sales could occur, could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock. Upon completion of this offering, except as otherwise described herein, all shares that are being offered hereby will be freely tradable without restriction, assuming they are not held by our affiliates.

We, our officers, directors and the selling stockholder have agreed with the underwriters that, without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., we and they will not, subject to certain exceptions and extensions, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of directly or indirectly, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the shares of our common stock subject to the lock-up. Please see the section entitled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Lock-Up Agreements.”

In addition, immediately following this offering, we intend to file a registration statement registering under the Securities Act the shares of common stock reserved for issuance in respect of certain incentive awards to our officers, employees and sales representatives. If any of these holders causes a large number of securities to be sold in the public market, the sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. These sales also could impede our ability to raise future capital. Please see the section entitled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the shares of our common stock that will be available for future sales upon completion of this offering.

You will incur immediate dilution as a result of this offering.

If you purchase common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your shares than the pro forma net tangible book value of your shares. As a result, you will incur immediate dilution of $             per share, representing the difference between the assumed initial public offering price of $             per share and our estimated net tangible book value as of                     , 2010. Accordingly, should we be liquidated at our book value, you would not receive the full amount of your investment. Please see the section entitled “Dilution.”

As an independent public company, we are expected to expend additional time and resources to comply with rules and regulations that do not currently apply to us, and failure to comply with such rules may lead investors to lose confidence in our financial data.

As an independent public company, the various rules and regulations of the SEC, as well as the rules of the                     , will require us to implement additional corporate governance practices and adhere to a variety of reporting requirements. Compliance with these public company obligations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and could place additional demands on our finance and accounting staff and on our financial, accounting and information systems.

In particular, as a public company, our management will be required to conduct an annual evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting and include a report of management on our internal controls in our annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, we will be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Auditing Standard No. 5. Under current rules, we will be subject to these requirements beginning with our annual report on

34

Table of Contents

Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, or if our registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an attestation and an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, of Delaware corporate law and of state and Canadian insurance law, may prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws will contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. These provisions will include:

Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. For more information, please read the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock — Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and of Delaware Law.” We believe that these provisions protect our stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors and by providing our board of directors with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make us immune from takeovers. However, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board of directors determines is not in our best interests and that of our stockholders.

The insurance laws and regulations of Massachusetts, the jurisdiction in which our principal insurance subsidiary, Primerica Life, is organized, may delay or impede a business combination involving us. The Massachusetts Insurance Law prohibits any person from acquiring control of us, and thus indirect control of Primerica Life, without the prior approval of the Massachusetts Commissioner of Insurance. That law presumes that control exists where any person, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, holds the power to vote or holds proxies representing 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock, unless the Massachusetts Commissioner, upon application, determines otherwise. Even persons who do not acquire beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock may be deemed to have acquired such control, if the Massachusetts Commissioner determines that such persons, directly or indirectly, exercise a controlling influence over our management or our policies. Therefore, any person seeking to acquire a controlling interest in us would face regulatory obstacles which may delay, deter or prevent an acquisition that stockholders might consider in their best interests. New York, the domiciliary jurisdiction of NBLIC, has similar insurance laws regarding a change of control. Moreover, under Canadian federal insurance law, the consent of the Minister of Finance is required in order for anyone to acquire direct or indirect control, including control in fact, of our Canadian insurance subsidiary, Primerica Life Canada, or to acquire, directly or through any controlled entity or entities, a significant interest (i.e., more than 10%) of any class of its shares. These laws could also delay or impede a business combination involving us that some or all of our stockholders might consider to be desirable.

We currently intend to pay a modest dividend on our common stock; consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will primarily depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We currently anticipate paying a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $             per share. Returns on your investment will primarily depend on the appreciation, if any, in the price of our common stock. We anticipate that we will retain most of our future earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. The determination of whether to pay such a dividend or to increase such dividend on our common stock in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent on a variety of factors, including our financial condition, earnings, legal requirements and other factors that the board of directors deems relevant.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this document as well as some statements in periodic press releases and some oral statements made by our officials and their respective subsidiaries during our presentations are “forward-looking” statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate” and similar expressions, or future conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.” In addition, any statement concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible actions taken by us or our subsidiaries, which may be provided by our management teams, are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve external risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of our management team, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected or cause a significant reduction in the market price of our common stock. These risks and uncertainties include, among others:

37

Table of Contents

Developments in any of these areas, which are more fully described elsewhere in this prospectus, could cause our results to differ materially from results that have been or may be anticipated or projected which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected or cause a significant reduction in the market price of our common stock and impair your ability to sell shares of our common stock at an attractive price.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock being offered hereby. All of the net proceeds will be received by Citi.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We are a holding company, and we have no operations. Our sole asset is the capital stock of our subsidiaries. The states in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled impose certain restrictions on our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to us. These restrictions are based in part on the prior year’s statutory income and surplus. In general, dividends up to specified levels are considered ordinary and may be paid without prior approval. Dividends in larger amounts are considered extraordinary and are subject to approval by the insurance commissioner of the state of domicile. No assurance is given that more stringent restrictions will not be adopted from time to time by states in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, and such restrictions could have the effect, under certain circumstances, of significantly reducing dividends or other amounts payable to us by our subsidiaries without affirmative prior approval by state regulatory authorities. In addition, in the future, we may become subject to debt instruments or other agreements that limit our ability to pay dividends. Please see the section entitled “Business — Insurance Regulation — Insurance Holding Company Regulation; Limitations on Dividends.”

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we paid $33.2 million (none of which were deemed extraordinary), $436.2 million (none of which were deemed extraordinary) and $336.1 million (none of which were deemed extraordinary) of dividends, respectively, to Citi.

We initially expect to pay quarterly cash dividends to holders of our common stock of $            per share, subject to the discretion of our board of directors and dependent on a variety of factors, including our financial condition, earnings, legal requirements and other factors that the board of directors deems relevant. Our payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors in accordance with applicable law after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for growth. Under Delaware law, we can only pay dividends either out of “surplus,” which is defined as total assets at fair market value minus total liabilities, minus the aggregate par value of our outstanding stock, or out of the current or the immediately preceding year’s earnings. Therefore, no assurance is given that we will pay any dividends to our common stockholders, or as to the amount of any such dividends if our board of directors determines to do so.

Special Dividend to Citi.    Upon completion of the Citi reinsurance transactions and prior to the completion of this offering, certain of our insurance subsidiaries will pay a special dividend to Citi in the aggregate amount of $             million of cash and securities. Please see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship with Citi Following this Offering — Citi Reinsurance Transactions.”

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $            , or $             per share, assuming              shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding at such date. Net tangible book value per share represents:

Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share immediately following this offering.

After giving effect to the Citi reinsurance transactions and the other concurrent transactions and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2009 would have been approximately $            , or $            per share. This represents an immediate dilution of $             per share to investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution per share:

Immediately prior to this offering, we will issue              shares of our common stock to our directors, officers and certain employees and              shares of our common stock to our sales force leaders, representing an aggregate of     % of our outstanding common stock. In addition, certain unvested equity awards held by our employees and sales representatives under Citi’s equity compensation plan will be converted into Primerica equity awards. Because these shares of common stock will be issued or converted in connection with this offering and are assumed to be issued and outstanding for purposes of this prospectus, there will not be any dilution to investors in this offering relating to such stock issuances. However, we also intend to allocate up to            shares of our common stock, or     % of our common stock outstanding immediately following the completion of this offering, for future grants to our employees. To the extent that we issue any such shares of our common stock or issue options to purchase our common stock that are subsequently exercised, there will be further dilution to investors in this offering. Please see the section entitled “Management — Equity Incentive Plan.”

For an understanding of pro forma financial data taking into account, among other things, the Citi reinsurance transactions and the other concurrent transactions, please see the section entitled “Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements.”

Due to a change in our DAC and reserve estimation approach implemented as of December 31, 2008, our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 are not directly comparable to our results for other fiscal years and our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not directly comparable to our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
