CARRIER MESSAGE We recognize the world around us is changing rapidly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we all adjust to the evolving situation and its ongoing impact, we want to share one thing that isn’t changing. You can depend on Lincoln Financial — our strength, our stability and our 115-year long history and experience helping our partners and customers navigate both the good and the challenging times. As we continue responding to challenges surfaced by the COVID-19 pandemic, I want to highlight our three core priorities for Lincoln’s Life and Executive Benefits distribution business: • • • Taking care of our employees. Lincoln successfully transitioned our 10,000+ employees to work from home and we are ready to support you and your clients. Serving our customers. You are the lifeblood of this organization and we’ve spent the past month ensuring you have every opportunity to continue to do business with Lincoln. We have focused on staying in touch with you, keeping you up to date on our e-capabilities, our products, and our policies. We’re available when you need us so please don’t hesitate to connect. Running the business. We have a robust business continuity plan in place to ensure our business operations continue, and that the service we provide to our firm partners, advisors and policyholders is uninterrupted. It is in times like these – exactly like these – that we are reminded of the important role we play together in helping American families find security through the solutions we offer. Now more than ever, we are in a unique position to help clients get through this and come out stronger. That’s why we recently launched a new campaign, Building Confidence in Times of Crisis, to take a look at past health and economic events, share insights on how we’ve overcome adversity, and offer ideas that can help financial professionals strengthen their client conversations to help navigate our current environment.
