Review of $150 mil Life Insurance purchased through Bryant Group
Rationale for the $50mil life insurance policy on Leon:
Proceeds would be available at time of death to pay off some of indebtedness related to
your art collection
Rationale for the second-to-die policy on Debra and Leon:
Proceeds would be available at time of death to pay estate taxes
These policies are owned in irrevocable life insurance trusts (the Leon D Black Insurance
Trusts #1 and #2). The policies purchased were set up in a split-dollar structure to
minimize gift tax. The split-dollar entity, AIF W Management Inc (now part of BFP),
advances the annual premiums (in lieu of compensation to Leon). Fortunately, these
variable universal life policies were purchased from top carriers who have fared relatively
well in the recent financial crisis. Investments in various mutual funds were elected at the
time of the purchase of the policies by John Hannan. The goal in a structure like this is to
have the policy assets invested in a way that they will appreciate enough to have
sufficient equity to allow for a cash withdrawal to both repay premiums previously
advanced by the split dollar entity(at which point the split $ arrangement is terminated)
and cover premiums going forward. The death benefit, when ultimately paid to the Trust,
is income tax-free and estate tax free. In 2009, you paid gift tax on a reportable income
and gift of $90,639 compared with the MI amount of $1.8 mil of premiums paid annually
which would otherwise have been considered gifts to the trusts.
These policies were initiated in September 1999. You have paid in $19.5 mil in premiums
(shown in the `split-dollar advance' column on the attached 12/31/09 Summary of
Coverage). The cash surrender value (which is tied to the underlying value of the assets
invested) was valued at $142 mil at 12/31/09. This reflects a difficult decade for stocks
generally. Also, the investment options chosen were heavily growth oriented. Think back
to 1999 in the midst of the tech bubble in the making. At that time growth was the only
thing working and the only thing people wanted to own. The other side of the bubble
ie.2000-2002 was quite painful. In the period 1/1/00-12/31/09 the Russell 1000 Growth
index declined 33% cumulatively. The original options have not been revised or
rebalanced along the way. While in the currently slow growing economy growth style
portfolios are likely to do well, I have a review of the funds owned on my to-do list and
will work to add some international options and rebalance a bit from the existing funds.
Whereas the original plan called for an equity build in the underlying assets that
would have allowed premium recovery to begin next year, it looks as though we face
another decade of premium payments before we begin that process. Assuming an
average return of 9%, it will be 2020 before we get to the point of the premium advances
being covered. The death benefits are fully intact at the $150 mil face value of the
policies and will service their intended purposes. The terms of the structure stipulate that
if the needed equity appreciation is not achieved before the death of the insured, the
repayment of premiums advanced by the split-dollar entity is paid from the death benefit.
EFTA01127285
Additional planning suggestion from Roger Cammon for consideration:
Make an additional gift to the trust of a 'lowly valued, likely to appreciate' asset which,
once contributed and appreciated, could be used to accelerate the process of terminating
the split $ arrangement. I will give this idea additional consideration.
We also spoke about insurance as asset protection. There is definite appeal. For
instance, let's use an example of a $25mi1 life insurance policy purchased for asset
protection purposes: Contrary to a purchase of insurance for the normal purpose of
the death benefit, in this case, the death benefit is just the tax shield for the assets
inside the policy. You want to buy as little death benefit as life insurance tax law will
allow. Premiums would then be extremely small and, from the start, the cash value
is accessible via a loan from the policy. Under NY State law, the cash value of life
insurance is exempt from the claims of creditors. If housed in a trust as Weil
Gotahal has suggested, there would be even greater surety of asset protection but
you would have to pay the gift tax on the $25mi1 or cost of the policy. The assets in
the policy would grow tax free and can be invested in a choice from the carrier
menu of investment options or it is possible to buy a customized policy allowing a
hedge fund or any other alternative asset.
EFTA01127286
Eackaround
Original intention: build up enough cash in the policy to unwind the split dollar
arrangement and have enough value left over to maintain the policy with no further
premiums. Investment returns have been disappointing. Current projections imply a need
to continue with premium payments for another 10 years (@ $1.8mil/yr)
AIF IV is a LP of Black Family Partners LP and Leon is the sole shareholder of AIF IV Mgmt
I began with the question of what's the appropriate amount of insurance for Leon &
Debra to have but this is a bit of a moot point since amt already held is in line with max
available. Est at $165mil-lower than historically due to consolidation of reinsurers.
Possible Solutions:
Switch to guaranteed insurance plan
Trust gets stated DB, gives up opportunity for equity growth
?material modification, premiums required going forward?
Pay back the split dollar amt using GRAT or CLAT with favorable gift tax implications
Per Ada will take too long
Any change in carriers-considered a `material modification'-would eliminate SD benefit
Per Gail Brannock and Jay Rabinowitz UST, Roger Cammon
amend current split $ agreement to be a non equity split dollar where trust owes the
company the greater of the CSV or premiums paid at termination or death
Split $ entity has to stay in place until Leon's Death
Trust gets the death benefit less premium advances that go to All'
Any equity policy growth above DB goes to AIF
Per memo from Carlyn: if the split $ arrangement is terminated, AIF would receive only
the current cash value now
AIF IV Mgmt under the split $ agreements pays the premiums but Black Family Partners
does now. Resulting question-is AIF owned by BFP or Leon?Per Lindsey Cei email AIF
IVis an LP of Black Family Partners. Leon is the sole shareholder of AIF IV Mgmt
Since BFP did not become a party to the split $ agreement but was just advancing funds
to AIF for premiums then, perhaps, does AIF have to repay BFP the full amount of its
outlays even if the it gets a cash surrender value less than premiums paid.
EFTA01127287
If we unwind the split $ arrangement we will have a more palatable number years of
premium payments and then the policies should at least be self sustaining.
Bad news, underlying investments dramatically underperformed expectations and so the
original plan to repay AIF for the premium advances, unwind the split $, and have
$150mi1 of policies which are self sustaining and require no additional premiums has
failed. The good news is that if we proceed with the proposal from Carlyn to unwind the
split $ arrangement with resources already outside Leon's estate, these policies with
substantial death benefits will be owned by trusts to benefit his children.
Unwinding the split $ arrangement eliminates the reportable income and gifts of approx
$100,000/yr we have been incurring
Once unwound, the second to die policies require premium payments for a manageable
number of years. Individual policies are in less good shape, may need to liquidate or
exchange these policies.
Normally you would want to wait to terminate the SD until there is enough equity to
repay advances and eliminate premiums
It has been suggested we should liquidate the Security of Denver policy or exchange for a
new policy since even assuming a 9% return the policy only holds up until Leon is 77 yrs
old

New York MEMORANDUM
Date: December 5, 2011 cc: Eileen Alexanderson
Ada Clapp
Tom Turrin
To: Leon Black From: Carlyn McCaffrey
Elyse G. Kirschner
Re: Split Dollar Insurance Proposal
This memorandum explains a proposal regarding the split-dollar insurance
arrangements among you, ATE IV Management Inc., an S corporation wholly owned by you
("AIF"), and Norman Brownstein, the trustee of your 1999 Life Insurance Trusts (the "Trustee")
We discussed this proposal with Eileen Alexanderson, Ada Clapp and Tom Turrin at a meeting
last week.
Background
In 1999, the Trustee purchased $50 million of insurance on your life (three
separate policies), and $100 million of insurance on the joint lives of you and Debra (five
separate policies). The Trustee entered into two split-dollar agreements with you and AIF, one
for the policies on your life, which are held in the 1999 Life Insurance Trust #1, and one for the
policies on your and Debra's lives, which are held in the 1999 Life Insurance Trust #2. Each
split-dollar agreement obligates AIF to pay the full amount of the Planned Periodic Premium (as
defined in the policy contract) on each policy. Each agreement also obligates you or the Trustee
to make annual payments to AIF of the annual value of the current life insurance protection
offered by the policies.
The Trustee has the right to terminate each split-dollar agreement at any time.
AIF does not have any right to terminate either split-dollar agreement.
DM US 30967272-I.088835.00I
EFTA01127289
In exchange for AIF's agreement to pay the Planned Periodic Premiums, the
Trustee agreed that when a policy matured by reason of the death of the insured or insureds he
would pay AIF an amount equal to the sum of all the premiums paid by it on such policy less the
amounts previously paid to it with respect to such policy (the "Net Aggregate Premiums"). The
Trustee also agreed that if he terminated a split-dollar agreement before the death of the insured
or insureds he would either pay AIF an amount equal to the Net Aggregate Premiums for the
policies subject to the terminated agreement or would transfer the policies to AIF To secure his
obligations under the split-dollar agreements, the Trustee assigned the insurance policies to AIF
as collateral.
The total Planned Periodic Premiums with respect to all of the policies held in the
trusts is approximately $1.8 million each year. For each year that the split dollar arrangement is
in effect you have been treated as having received compensation equal to the cost of the current
life insurance protection offered by each policy and as having made a gift of this amount to the
1999 Life Insurance Trusts. Tom Turrin has been properly reporting these amounts on your
annual income and gift tax returns. For 2011, the amount of compensation/gift was
approximately $97,652. However, as the premiums continue to increase over the term of the
policies, the amount of taxable income you will be deemed to have received and the size of your
taxable gifts to the insurance trusts will increase.
Since 1999, when the parties initiated the split-dollar arrangements, AIF has paid
about $20.1 million in premiums. In recent years AIF had been borrowing from the Black
Family Partners in order to make these premium payments. In 1999, at the commencement of
the split-dollar arrangements, it was estimated that by 2010 the cash surrender value of the
policies would be about $22 million. However, because of poor market performance, as of
March 31, 2010, the cash surrender value of the policies together was about $15 million.
DM US 30967272-L088835.00H 2
EFTA01127290
Given the poor performance of the policies over the past decade and the fact that
the $150 million death benefit will not come close to fully covering your anticipated estate taxes,
it makes sense to evaluate whether it is appropriate for the insurance trusts to continue to
maintain the existing policies. Eileen is analyzing whether to continue the existing policies. In
the interim, we think it is important to restructure the split-dollar arrangements in order to
minimize the ongoing tax consequences to you. To that end, we have proposed the transaction
described below.
Proposed Transaction
Acquisition of Rights Under Split-Dollar Agreements by The Black 2006
Family Trust. The Black 2006 Family Trust (the "2006 Trust") will purchase AIF's rights under
the split-dollar agreements from AIF for cash. The purchase price will be based on an appraisal
of the value of such rights to be obtained by the trustees of the 2006 Trust and by AIF. Because
the rights of AIF under the split-dollar agreements are limited to the right to receive the Net
Aggregate Premiums on your death or on the death of the survivor of you and Debra (unless the
owners of the policies elect to terminate the split-dollar agreements), the appraised value is likely
to be substantially less than the current cash value of the policies. Eileen will arrange for the
appraisals.
Once this step has been completed, you will no longer have any income or gift tax
liability on account of the annual cost of the current life insurance protection offered by each
policy.
Repayment of Loans to Black Family Partners. AIF will use the funds it
receives from the trustees of the 2006 Trust to repay any outstanding loans to Black Family
Partners. It will then liquidate. AIF's remaining cash, if any, will be distributed to you.
DM US 10967272-I.088835.0011 3
EFTA01127291
Termination of Split-Dollar Aareements. The Trustee of the 1999 Life Insurance
Trusts may then decide to terminate the split-dollar agreements in order to avoid any further
potential liability for the annual cost of the current life insurance protection offered by the
policies. Upon termination, because the Trustee lacks sufficient resources to pay the trustees of
the 2006 Trust an amount equal to the Net Aggregate Premiums, he will transfer his interests in
the policies to the trustees of the 2006 Trust.
