Customer-related intangibles of $5 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Dominion in 2013.

(2)
Fair value adjustments of $5 million and $191 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Dominion in 2013 and in connection with the merger of The St. Paul Companies, Inc. and Travelers Property Casualty Corp. in 2004, respectively, and were based on management's estimate of nominal claims and claim adjustment expense reserves and reinsurance recoverables. The method used calculated a risk adjustment to a risk-free discounted reserve that would, if reserves ran off as expected, produce results that yielded the assumed cost-of-capital on the capital supporting the loss reserves. The fair value adjustments are reported as other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheet, and the amounts measured in accordance with the acquirer's accounting policies for insurance contracts have been reported as part of the claims and claim adjustment expense reserves and reinsurance recoverables. The intangible assets are being recognized into income over the expected payment pattern. Because the time value of money and the risk adjustment (cost of capital) components of the intangible assets run off at different rates, the amount recognized in income may be a net benefit in some periods and a net expense in other periods. Additionally, $5 million of contract-related intangibles were recorded related to operating leases in connection with the acquisition of Dominion in 2013.

(3)
Intangible assets not subject to amortization of $1 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Dominion in 2013.
