Item 8.01 Other Events.
Primerica, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update certain items in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Annual Report"). On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts ("ASU 2010-26") retrospectively. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), we are required to revise previously issued financial statements using the deferral and recognition guidance under ASU 2010-26 for each of the years presented in the 2011 Annual Report, if those financial statements are incorporated by reference in certain subsequent filings with the SEC made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the adoption of ASU 2010-26. The revision of the previously issued 2011 Annual Report is being made in accordance with applicable accounting rules and should not be read as a restatement of the 2011 Annual Report. The reduction to our deferred policy acquisition costs asset, or DAC, was approximately $146.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and approximately $114.3 as of December 31, 2010. The reduction to net income was approximately $21.1 million in 2011, approximately $25.3 million in 2010, and approximately $11.9 million in 2009.  The net impact of adoption reduced stockholders' equity by approximately $96.0 million as of December 31, 2011, by approximately $75.0 million as of December 31, 2010, and by approximately $176.5 million as of December 31, 2009.
The following items of the 2011 Annual Report are being updated retrospectively to reflect the adoption described above (which items as updated are included in Exhibits 99.1 through 99.6 to this filing and incorporated herein by reference):
Item 1. Business (Segment Financial and Geographic Disclosures section);
Item 6. Selected Financial Data;
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk;
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; and
Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules ((c) Financial Statement Schedules section).
This Current Report on Form 8-K modifies and updates the disclosures presented in the 2011 Annual Report for (i) matters relating to the adoption of ASU 2010-26 and its associated impact and (ii) the addition of Note 19 to the consolidated and combined financial statements to disclose the occurrence of subsequent events first publicly disclosed by the Company in its Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2012 and April 18, 2012.
The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2011 Annual Report, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012. More current information is contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”) and the Company's other filings with the SEC. The Form 10-Q and other SEC filings contain important information regarding events, developments and updates to certain expectations of the Company that have occurred subsequent to the filing of the 2011 Annual Report.
