Detailed description Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. is a multinational insurance and investment management company offering a range of property and casualty, group benefits, and mutual funds.

This financial article presents a detailed overview of a specific fixed-income security, an obligation identified by ISIN US416515AY06 and CUSIP 416515AY0, issued by Hartford Financial Services, a leading U.S.-based investment and insurance company renowned for its operations in property and casualty insurance, group benefits, and mutual funds. This bond, denominated in USD and issued from the United States, carried an annual interest rate of 4%, with payments distributed semi-annually, as part of a total issuance valued at $300,000,000 and available for a minimum purchase of $2,000. It is crucial to note that this security reached its maturity date on March 30, 2015, and has since been fully redeemed at its 100% par value, confirming its completed lifecycle, and during its existence, it did not receive a credit rating from either Standard & Poor's or Moody's, both agencies assigning it an 'NR' designation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by words such as "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "seeks," "believes," "estimates,"
"expects," "projects," and similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding
economic, competitive and legislative developments. Because forward-looking statements relate to the
future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult
to predict. They have been made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments and their potential effect upon us. Future developments may not be in line with
management's expectations or have unanticipated effects. Actual results could differ materially from
expectations, depending on the evolution of various factors, including, but not limited to, those set
forth in this prospectus supplement and those set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (as updated from time to time). These important
risks and uncertainties include:


· significant risks and uncertainties related to our current operating environment, which reflects
continued volatility in financial markets, constrained capital and credit markets and uncertainty
about the timing and strength of an economic recovery and the impact of governmental
budgetary and regulatory initiatives and whether management's initiatives to address these risks
will be effective;


· the risk that our actual sources and uses of capital in a stress scenario may vary materially and
adversely from our modeled projected sources and uses of capital that we disclosed in
connection with our planned repurchase of the Series E Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock,
or the Series E Preferred Stock, whether as a result of one or more assumptions proving to be
materially inaccurate or as a result of the Company's exposure to other risks during stressed
economic conditions that were not taken into account in preparing such modeled projections;


· risks associated with our continued execution of steps to realign our business and reposition our
investment portfolio, including the potential need to adjust our plans to take other restructuring
actions, such as divestitures;


· market risks associated with our business, including changes in interest rates, credit spreads,
equity prices, foreign exchange rates, as well as challenging or deteriorating conditions in key
sectors such as the commercial real estate market, that have pressured our results and are
expected to continue to do so in 2010;


· volatility in our earnings resulting from our recent adjustment of our risk management program
to emphasize protection of statutory surplus;


· the impact on our statutory capital of various factors, including many that are outside our
control, which can in turn affect our credit and financial strength ratings, cost of capital,
regulatory compliance and other aspects of our business and results;


· risks to our business, financial position, prospects and results associated with negative rating
actions or downgrades in our financial strength and credit ratings or negative rating actions or
downgrades relating to our investments;


· the potential for differing interpretations of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions that
underlie the valuation of our financial instruments that could result in changes to investment
valuations;


· the subjective determinations that underlie our evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments
on available-for-sale securities;


· losses due to nonperformance or defaults by others;


· the potential for further acceleration of deferred policy acquisition cost amortization;

· the potential for further impairments of our goodwill or the potential for establishing valuation
allowances against deferred tax assets;


· the possible occurrence of terrorist attacks and our ability to contain our exposure, including the
effect of the absence or insufficiency of applicable terrorism legislation on coverage;


· the difficulty in predicting our potential exposure for asbestos and environmental claims;


· the possibility of a pandemic or other man-made disaster that may adversely affect our
businesses and cost and availability of reinsurance;


· weather and other natural physical events, including the severity and frequency of storms, hail,
snowfall and other winter conditions, natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, as
well as climate change, including effects on weather patterns, greenhouse gases, sea, land and
air temperatures, sea levels, rain and snow;


· the response of reinsurance companies under reinsurance contracts and the availability, pricing
and adequacy of reinsurance to protect us against losses;


· the possibility of unfavorable loss development;


· actions by our competitors, many of which are larger or have greater financial resources than we
do;


· the restrictions, oversight, costs and other consequences of being a savings and loan holding
company, including from the supervision, regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift
Supervision, or the OTS, and arising from our participation in the Capital Purchase Program, or
the CPP, under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, certain elements of which
will continue to apply to us for so long as the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or the Treasury
Department, holds the warrant or shares of our common stock received on exercise of the
warrant that we issued to the Treasury Department as part of our participation in the CPP, even
after we repurchase the preferred stock issued in connection therewith;


· unfavorable judicial or legislative developments;


· the potential effect of domestic and foreign regulatory developments, including those that could
adversely impact the demand for our products, operating costs and required capital levels,
including changes to statutory reserves and/or risk-based capital requirements related to
secondary guarantees under universal life and variable annuity products;


· our ability to distribute our products through distribution channels, both current and future;


· the uncertain effects of emerging claim and coverage issues;


· the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us;


· our ability to effectively price our property and casualty policies, including our ability to obtain
regulatory consents to pricing actions or to non-renewal or withdrawal of certain product lines;


· our ability to maintain the availability of our systems and safeguard the security of our data in
the event of a disaster or other unanticipated events;


· the potential for difficulties arising from outsourcing relationships;


· the impact of potential changes in federal or state tax laws, including changes affecting the
availability of the separate account dividend received deduction;


· the impact of potential changes in accounting principles and related financial reporting
requirements;


· our ability to protect our intellectual property and defend against claims of infringement; and


· other factors described in such forward-looking statements.
