2 DELIVERING ON LONG-TERM PROMISES | GUARDIAN 2011

I am pleased to report Guardian delivered a strong performance in 2011 despite continuedweakness in the economy. We declared the highest dividend payout to our individual life policyholders in our history, $795 million. Our capital, a key indicator of our financial position, figrew by $117 million to $5.5 billion. We generated record sales results in our businesses and grew our career agent network. Additionally, all four major credit ratings agencies affirmed ourffialready strong financial strength ratings.fi

These results demonstrate that our company continues to provide products and services that address our clients’ needs, even in a climate of fi nancial uncertainty. What’s more, fiour life insurance policyholders renewed their policies at a rate that is among the highest in the industry.

Our accomplishments speak to the contributions of Guardian’s more than 8,000 home offi ce and fiffi eld associates, whose hard fiwork, dedication, and commitment to quality and service place them among the best in the industry. All of us at Guardian are proud of these results and the manner in which we achieved them: ethically, socially responsibly,

and by embracing the enduring values that have guided us for over 150 years: we do the right thing; people count; and we hold ourselves to very high standards.

In succeeding Dennis J. Manning as CEO in July 2011, I am the benefi ciary of his signififi cant ficontributions to our company as well as those of the generations of leadership that came before me. Like Dennis and his predecessors, I am fully committed to building for the future and leaving the company even stronger than it is today. It is an honor to be part of this tradition of safeguarding our policyholders’ trust.

My colleagues and I know we need to earn your confi dence each and every day. We will ficontinue to make our policyholders’ needs, and delivery on our long-term promises, our highest priority—through the quality of the decisions we make, and the integrity, hard work, and dedication of our people.

MUTUALITY

Because Guardian is a mutualcompany, it is managed in the best interests of its owners—the policyholders. Mutuality allows the company to operate for the long term, guided by core values that ensureGuardian is doing the right thing for its customers.

How does being a mutual companymake Guardiandiff erent fromffffa publicly held company?

Since our policyholders are also our owners, everythingwe do is aimed at serving their best interests. Unlike publicly held companies, we have no stockholders,

and therefore no confl icts flbetween the short-termdemands of Wall Street andthe long-term interests of our policyholders. Freed from having to pursue immediate gains through overly aggressive product pricing or risky investments, we’re able to focus on maintaining ourfi nancial strength.fi

How does Guardian’s mutuality benefit ficustomers?

Whole life policyholders benefit directly from our fimutual structure through the dividends paid to them, whichserve to lower the long-term net cost of our whole life policies.The prudent and effi cient way ffiwe manage our company hashistorically allowed us to pay competitive dividends.

All of our clients benefi t fifrom our rigorous risk management, which helps us to perform well in difficultffieconomic periods. We have built a wide portfolio of products that not only enhance the range of customer needs we canmeet, but also contribute to our business diversity, stability and, ultimately, our policyholder dividend.

Finally, the long-term view aff orded by mutuality ffffallows us to invest in dedicated career FinancialRepresentatives and group benefits sales associates who fibuild lasting relationships with customers, helping them achieve security for their businesses and families through expert knowledge and guidance.
