| Several commentators suggested deleting or modifying sections 3.2(a), 3.4.1(c), and 3.4.2.4 because the language is too prescriptive and best left to regulation. | The reviewers believe the guidance is appropriate and made no change in response to these comments. |

| Several commentators expressed concern about the phrase “recouping past losses or distributing past gains” being too prescriptive or ambiguous and suggested either deleting that language or inserting “if required by statute or regulation” as a condition. | The reviewers disagree but added clarifying language to section 3.4.2.5 to address this comment. |
| One commentator suggested adding back the guidance from the first exposure draft regarding prospective pattern of profits by duration in sections 3.2(b), 3.4.1(g), and 3.4.2.4(c). | The reviewers believe the guidance is appropriate and therefore made no change. |
