* The terms ”agent” and ”financial professional” are used interchangeably throughout this brochure and refer to someone who is in a sales role under an agent contract. 1. Offered by properly licensed registered representatives through NYLIFE Securities (member FINRA/SIPC), a Licensed Insurance Agency and a New York Life subsidiary. 2. Wealth management and advisory services offered by Financial Advisors of Eagle Strategies LLC, a Registered Investment Adviser and a New York Life company. Qualification requirements include but are not limited to applicable FINRA general securities, agent state law, investment advisory licenses, compliance history, production standards, and required training. Requirements are subject to change. 3. If you qualify for an Introductory (PTAS) Contract, you will preview an agent career with New York Life as an independent contractor while continuing to work at your current job, with limited exceptions. PTAS Agents are not eligible for benefits. During this preview period of up to six months, any sales you make will continue to accrue until you either make enough sales to become a full-time agent under a Training Allowance Subsidy (TAS) Contract or the passage of six months, whichever is earlier. If you do not become a full-time agent, first year commissions on any sales you made will be paid to you in a lump sum at the end of your PTAS contract period. If you become a full time agent under a TAS Contract, you will be credited with the commissions you accrued under the Introductory Contract. 4. Based on 2024 company data for 8,136 agents operating under our N9 and N8 Agents Contracts, without persistency bonus, who were active as of December 31, 2024. N9 is the current contract for new financial professionals. N8 contracts were issued to new financial professionals prior to April 2004. The company reserves the right to amend or modify the available contract for new financial professionals and the compensation under such contract. Contracts determine your compensation and benefits. Sales production requirements are determined annually by the company. Historical agent incomes are provided for informational purposes only. Agent income is not guaranteed. Income is dependent upon the sales of each agent. Agent compensation is commission-based and determined through the ledger process. Overall compensation includes positive income credits for commissions based on actual sales and certain allowances or incentives, if eligible, based upon persistency and production, as well as debits associated with commission reversals, authorized expenses and other items. Not all debits are included in the average income figures above. Each credit and debit posted to the Agent's Ledger is part of determining the agent's compensation and no individual credit posted to the ledger is earned until the ledger reconciliation process is complete. Agents receive payments equal to the positive balance on the Agent's Ledger after the credits and debits are applied, except that financial professionals operating under an Introductory (PTAS) Contract who fail to sell enough to trigger a full time agent’s contract will be paid first year commissions on any sales made in a lump sum at the end of their PTAS Contract period. 5.
