Proposal No. 1:

Election of Directors

Lawrence S. Bacow and Ken Miller, two

Proposal No. 1:
Election of our current Board members, have informed the Board that they will step down as directors immediately prior to our 2018 Annual Meeting. The Board would like to thank each of them for their years of distinguished service to Loews and the Board. The Board has determined to fix the number of directors constituting the full Board at thirteen, as of the 2018 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, atDirectors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will vote to elect a Board of thirteentwelve directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. These thirteen nominees include twelve current directors and one new director nominee, Susan Peters. It is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy, unless you specify otherwise, to vote for the election of the nominees named below.below, each of whom is a current director. Our Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director and each has agreed to be nominated in this Proxy Statement.

If any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve, we anticipate that either:

 

proxies will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee or nominees recommended by our Nominating and Governance Committee and approved by our Board; or

 

our Board will adopt a resolution reducing the number of directors constituting our full Board.

Director Nominating Process

In evaluating potential director nominees for recommendation to our Board, our Nominating and Governance Committee seeks individuals with exceptional talent and ability and experience from a wide variety of backgrounds to provide a diverse spectrum of experience and expertise relevant to a diversified business enterprise such as ours.

 

In identifying, evaluating and nominating individuals to serve as directors, our Board and its Nominating and Governance Committee do not rely on any preconceived diversity guidelines or rules. Rather, our Board and its Nominating and Governance Committee believe that Loews is best served by directors with a wide range of perspectives, professional experiences, skills and other individual qualities and attributes.

 

Although we have no minimum qualifications, a candidate should represent the interests of all shareholders, and not those of a special interest group, have a reputation for integrity and be willing to make a significant commitment to fulfilling the duties of a director.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee will screen and evaluate all recommended director nominees (including those validly proposed by shareholders) based on these criteria, as well as other relevant considerations.

Further information regarding the process for a shareholder to recommend a director nominee can be found below under “Submissions or Nominations for our 2019 Annual Meeting” on p. 56 in the Annual Meeting Information section.

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors

 

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that the following directors, and nominees, constituting a majority of our directors, and nominees, are independent under our independence standards and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange: Lawrence S. Bacow, Ann E. Berman, Joseph L. Bower, Charles D. Davidson, Charles M. Diker, Jacob A. Frenkel, Paul J. Fribourg, Walter L. Harris, Philip A. Laskawy, Ken Miller, Susan P. Peters and Anthony Welters. We refer to these directors in this Proxy Statement as our “independent directors.” Our Board considered all relevant facts and circumstances and applied the independence standards described below, which are consistent with New York Stock Exchange listing standards, in determining that none of our independent directors has any material relationship with us or our subsidiaries.

Our Board has established the following standards to determine director independence.

A director would not be considered independent if any of the following relationships exists:

 

during the past three years the director has been an employee, or an immediate family member has been an executive officer, of Loews;

 

the director or an immediate family member received, during any twelve-month period within the past three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from Loews, excluding director and committee fees, pension payments and certain forms of deferred compensation;

 

the director is a current partner or employee or an immediate family member is a current partner of a firm that is Loews’s internal or external auditor, an immediate family member is a current employee of such a firm and personally works on the company’s audit or, within the last three years, the director or an immediate family member was a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on Loews’s audit within that time;

 

the director or an immediate family member has at any time during the past three years been employed as an executive officer of another company where any of Loews’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee; or

 

the director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, Loews for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three years, exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of the other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

In considering Dr. Frenkel’s independence, the Board noted that he serves as Chairman of JPMorgan Chase International, a unit of JPMorgan Chase & Co., where he concentrates on international strategy and global economic issues. From time to time, for many years, Loews and its subsidiaries have had commercial banking and investment banking relationships with JPMorgan Chase & Co. Dr. Frenkel has not had, and is not expected to have, any role in any current or potential future relationships between Loews or any of its subsidiaries and JPMorgan Chase & Co., or any direct or indirect material interest therein.

In considering Mr. Harris’s independence, the Board noted that he has a majority ownership interest in certain insurance brokerage firms which, from time to time, receive brokerage commissions from insurance company subsidiaries of our subsidiary, CNA Financial Corporation. Mr. Harris may not participate and has not participated in the Audit Committee’s consideration of these related party transactions. All business placed with CNA by such insurance brokerage firms was pursuant to written agreements on CNA’s standard forms, is typical of the products offered by CNA to its brokers and commissions were paid in accordance with a schedule that is standard to CNA brokerage contracts of this type. Mr. Harris does not participate in placements of business with CNA. Mr. Harris has informed Loews that these commissions were less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of such firms during each of the last three years. In 2017, commissions totaled approximately $23,000.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board’s current leadership structure consists of twoCo-Chairmen of the Board, Andrew H. Tisch and Jonathan M. Tisch, both of whom are members of the Office of the President, and a lead director, presently Paul J. Fribourg, who is also Chairman of our Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee. Loews’s Chief Executive Officer, and third member of its Office of the President, James S. Tisch, does not currently serve in a formal leadership capacity on our Board.

Our Board believes that this structure provides input, guidance and leadership for the Board from both senior management as represented by theCo-Chairmen of the Board, and thenon-management directors, as represented by the lead director, which assists the Board in effectively fulfilling its oversight role. Our Board also believes that the current exclusion of Loews’s Chief Executive Officer from its leadership structure helps to achieve an appropriate balance between the differing perspectives of management andnon-management directors during the course of its proceedings.

The lead director plays an important role in our Board’s leadership structure.Non-management directors meet in executive session after each regular meeting of our Board. The lead director chairs these meetings ofnon-management directors. Our lead director also currently serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the principal Board committee charged with responsibility for the Board’s leadership structure. In this dual role, the lead director facilitates the ability ofnon-management directors to fulfill their responsibilities and provides a structure for communicating any concerns thatnon-management directors may have directly to Loews’s senior management.

Transactions with Related Persons

Our Audit Committee Charter requires our Audit Committee to review and approve all related party transactions required to be disclosed under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. It has been our Audit Committee’s practice, however, to review and approve or ratify any transaction, regardless of the size or amount, involving us or any of our subsidiaries in which any of our directors, director nominees, executive officers, principal shareholders or any of their immediate family members has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, without the participation of any member who may be involved in the transaction. All such related party transactions are submitted to our General Counsel for review and reported to our Audit Committee for its consideration. In each case, the Audit Committee considers, in light of all of the facts and circumstances it deems relevant, whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to us.

Our Audit Committee reviewed and approved or ratified each of the following 20172021 related party transactions:

Andrew H. Tisch, James S. Tisch and Jonathan M. Tisch the members of our Office of the President, and members of their families have chartered our aircraft for personal travel from time to time. For the use of our owned aircraft, charters are done through an unaffiliated management company and the charterer pays us a fixed hourly rate plus a fuel surcharge which equals or exceeds ourout-of-pocket operating costs. For the use of an aircraft in which we hold a fractional interest, the charterer pays us a rate that closely approximates our incremental cost. The total amount reimbursed or paid to us in 20172021 in connection with this aircraft travel was $1,321,846.$930,447.

Joan H. Tisch, the late mother of Jonathan M. Tisch, a member of Loews’s Office of the President, leased an apartment at the Loews Regency New York Hotel pursuant to a lease approved by our Audit Committee in 2001. The lease became effective upon the death of her late husband, Preston R. Tisch, our formerCo-Chairman of the Board, in late 2005. The rent was stated in the lease and adjusted upward each year by an amount equal to the increase in the consumer price index during the prior year. Mrs. Tisch separately paid rent for another room at the hotel in an amount that was determined based on an analysis of market rates for comparable extended stay rentals at the hotel. Mrs. Tisch and her estate paid the hotel an aggregate of $922,050 for these rentals in 2017.

Alexander Tisch, son of Andrew H. Tisch, is employed as a Vice President in Loews’s Corporate Development Departmentof Loews and as Executive Vice President Commercial & Business Development atof Loews Hotels. Mr.Alexander Tisch anat-will employee, earned cash compensation (including bonus) of $978,769$1,377,980 in 20172021 and participated in benefit programs available to salaried employees generally. In February 2017,2021, he was granted 4,6147,460 restricted stock units under our Incentive Compensation Plan.

Also during 2017, Loews provided members of the Tisch family with general office services and security services for which the company was reimbursed an amount that management believes to be a reasonable estimate of the value of these services. The total amount reimbursed for these services in 2017 was $178,278.

Executive Compensation

Our primary function is to allocate our capital in a wayways that drivesdrive long-term value creation and returns for our shareholders. To do this we make decisions related to investments in our subsidiaries, repurchases of our shares, acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries and prudent investment of our cash and investment assets.

 

22Loews Corporation 2018 Proxy


Executive Compensation

In light of our business model, our most critical asset is our people — our human capital — including our senior leadership team that drives our capital allocation decisions. All of our executive officers and substantially all of our other employees are located in our headquarters office and a neighboring building in New York City. We not only compete for leadership talent with our and our subsidiaries’ peer companies, but also with New York City-based financial services firms, including investment and commercial banks, private equity funds, hedge funds, insurance and reinsurance companies and other sophisticated financial firms. Our compensation policies and practices are driven by our need to attract and retain highly qualified, financially sophisticated executive officers in this competitive marketplace and motivate them to provide a high level of performance for our shareholders.

OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

Our Compensation Philosophy

We have maintained a consistent compensation philosophy for many years, which takes into account that the quality of our leadership has a direct impact on our performance. Our compensation philosophy is based on the following objectives:

 

Motivating superior long-term financial performance and the creation of shareholder value;value over the long term;

 

Discouraging unreasonable risk taking;

 

Aligning compensation with our long-term strategy and focus and the interests of our shareholders;

Providing market-competitive compensation;

 

Avoiding excessive compensation; and

 

Attracting and retaining high-caliber executive talent.

 

We believe in recognizing the performance of our executive officers primarily through a combination of cash compensation, made up of a fixed base salary and incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation, which, in 2017,2021, consisted of performance-based restricted stock units. Because cash incentive compensation and our restricted stock unit awards are tied to performance, a large majority of the compensation paid to our executive officers is performance-based and, other than their fixed base salaries, no compensation is guaranteed.

HOW WE STRUCTURE OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

How We Structure our Executive Compensation Program

We structure our executive compensation to avoid the possibility of excessive compensation in any given year, including through:

 

the Compensation Committee’s ability to exercise negative discretion in determining cash incentive compensation;

 

setting what we believe to be reasonable, but achievable, performance targets for both cash incentive compensation and stock-based awards; and

 

setting target levels for cash incentive compensation that are generally based on the prior year’s levels and generally not paying cash incentive compensation in excess of these targets.pre-established target levels set by the Compensation Committee.

The result has been that the cash compensation paid to our named executive officers has not fluctuated significantly during the past five years.

We believe this structure provides ample motivation for our executive officers to maximize their performance and focus on the long-term success of the company, while deterring unreasonable risk taking with an eye toward short-term results.

Loews Corporation2022 Proxy23


Executive Compensation

The fixed base salary for our named executive officers has generally comprised substantially less than half of their total potential cash compensation, with the balance coming from our performance-based incentive compensation plan.Incentive Compensation Plan. In setting potential awards under that plan, our Compensation Committee sets what it believes are reasonable, but achievable, target levels, but reserves broad discretion to reduce or eliminate incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee also establishes maximum award levels that will not be exceeded.

Executive Compensation

 

In selecting and allocating the elements of our executive compensation program, we have considered, among other things, our historical compensation policies as they have evolved over the years surveys ofand benchmarking information regarding executive compensation atpaid by comparably sized companies and information concerning the executive compensation programs of various companies engaged in businesses similar to ours and our principal subsidiaries as well as others with which we compete for talent in the New York City marketplace.

We also consider applicable tax and accounting impacts of executive compensation. See “Other Considerations — Tax and Accounting Considerations” on page 35.

OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE SHAREHOLDER VALUE OVER THE LONG TERM

Our compensation program is intended to align the interests of our senior executives with those of our shareholders. Our goal is to increase shareholder value over the long term and to reasonably reward superior performance that supports that goal. In establishing the aggregate amount of targeted compensation for each named executive officer, we do not rely on formula-driven plans, which could result in unreasonably high compensation levels and encourage excessive risk taking. Instead, aggregate target compensation is based on an evaluation of the individual’s performance, skills, leadership and expected future contributions in the context of our financial performance and seeks to achieve the objectives of our compensation philosophy set forth above. Based on these considerations, we determine an overall level of target cash compensation, a portion of which is to be paid as base salary and the balance of which is structured to be performance-based cash compensation, and a level of stock-based awards. We consider the aggregate compensation (earned or potentially available) to each named executive officer in establishing each element of compensation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION RESPONSE TO COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in 2020, significantly affected the global economy, including certain of the industries in which our subsidiaries operate. The hospitality industry, in which Loews Hotels & Co operates, was particularly strained. In response to the pandemic’s impact on Loews Hotels & Co team members, and to demonstrate their leadership and dedication to Loews, each of James, Andrew and Jonathan Tisch voluntarily agreed to forego 50% of his base salary from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and 50% of any annual cash incentive compensation award for the 2020 performance year earned under our Incentive Compensation Plan.

Compensation Governance

We are committed to good compensation governance and design and administer our executive compensation program to be consistent with our business goals and in the best interests of our shareholders. In that regard, we:

 

maintain a fully independent Compensation Committee, which oversees all aspects of our executive compensation and monitors, reviews and approves all executive compensation decisions;

 

structure our cash incentive compensation awards to executive officers so that the Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion over these awards;

 

structure our executive officers’ stock-based compensation to be performance-based;

 

have a clawback policy that allows for the recoupment of incentive compensation;

do not have employment agreements with, or guarantee compensation to, any of our executive officers;

 

do not maintain agreements with any of our executive officers to pay severance upon a change in
control; and

 

conduct an annual advisory vote of shareholders on our executive compensation practices. As noted above, weWe have received a large majority advisory vote in favor of our executive pay program every year since implementing this vote.

Compensation Program Structure and Process

The principal components of compensation for our named executive officers are:

 

base salary;

 

performance-based cash incentive compensation awards;

 

performance-based stock-based awards; and

 

retirement, medical and related benefits.

Each year, our Chief Executive Officer, after consulting with the other members of the Office of the President and our Vice President, Human Resources, reviews with the Compensation Committee the performance of each named executive officer and each other executive officer, and makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee with respect to their annual compensation, including the setting of

Loews Corporation2022 Proxy25


Executive Compensation

parameters for cash incentive compensation awards and stock-based awards. The Compensation Committee then meets in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer present and makes the final determination regarding the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other named executive officers, as well as our other executive officers. The other named executive officers do not play any role in their own compensation determination other than discussing their performance with the Chief Executive Officer, and neither our Chief Executive Officer nor any other executive officer participates in the Compensation Committee’s final deliberations on compensation matters.

BASE SALARY

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee has established the base salary for each of our named executive officers has remained unchanged at approximately $1 million per annumyear for at least the last fiveten years. Historically, this reflected the impact of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which applied until 2017 to limitthat limited the amount of non-performance-based compensation we were able to deduct for federal income tax purposes to $1 million for certain of the named executive officers, except to the extent the compensation was considered to be “qualified performance-based compensation.” Theofficers. While these provisions providing an exemption for “qualified performance-based compensation” were repealed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 passed in December 2017 and will not apply to compensation paid beginning in 2018. Nevertheless,are no longer applicable, the base salary established for each of our named executive officers will remain unchanged in 2018 at2021 remained approximately $1 million. In addition,million as the relative lower weight of base salary to performance-based compensation is consistent with the Compensation Committee’s belief that performance-based compensation should be the greater part of the compensation of each of our named executive officers.

Executive Compensation

Cash incentive compensation awards

 

CASH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDS

The largest portion of the compensation ofearned by our named executive officers in 20172021 came from cash awards under our Incentive Compensation Plan. This element of our compensation program ensures that a significant portion of each executive’s annual compensation is dependent on Loews’s annual achievement of a metric that we call “performance-based income.”

 

Defining Performance-based Income

Performance-based income is defined in our Incentive Compensation Plan as our consolidated net income as adjusted by the Compensation Committee under the terms of our Incentive Compensation Plan to account for specific factors that may impact our business, but which the Compensation Committee deems reasonable and appropriate to exclude or include in determining performance for incentive compensation purposes.

Process of Establishing Annual Incentive Compensation Plan as our consolidated net income as adjusted by the Compensation Committee under the terms of our Incentive Compensation Plan to account for specific factors that may impact our business, but which the Compensation Committee deems reasonable and appropriate to exclude or include in determining performance for incentive compensation purposes. The Compensation Committee may take into account, among other things, the potential impact on our earnings of realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, accounting changes, acquisitions and dispositions, charges relating to litigation, charges relating to reserve strengthening and adverse development associated with prior accident years at CNA, catastrophes and changes in legislation or regulation.

PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDSAwards

 

STEP 1

Establish annual performance bonus pool

First quarter of each year

First, the Compensation Committee establishes an annual performance bonus pool expressed as a percentage of our performance-based income for that year.

The performance bonus pool is not an expectation of the bonus amounts that will, in fact, be paid; rather, it sets the outer limit of compensation that can be paid to all executive officers in our incentive compensation program for the year.

 

The Committee allocates a portion of the performance bonus pool to each of the named executive officers and other executive officers who participate in the incentive compensation program.

 

26Loews Corporation2022 Proxy


Executive Compensation

STEP 2

Establish Target Award

First quarter of each year

Then, the Compensation Committee establishes a target award (expressed as a dollar amount) for each participant, based on, among other things, an assessment of the individual’s expected performance.

The intention is that the incentive compensation award will not exceed the target award (even if the portion of the performance bonus pool allocated to a participant is in excess of the established target), except based on the Compensation Committee’s discretion.

 

STEP 3

Establish Maximum Award

First quarter of each year

Next, the Compensation Committee establishes a maximum award (expressed as a dollar amount) for

each participant, to cap the amount in excess of the target that the Committee may in its discretion award any participant.

A participant’s award cannot exceed the portion of the performance bonus pool allocated to the participant, and also cannot exceed the maximum award amount established by the Committee. In addition, it has been the practice of the Compensation Committee to retain negative discretion in the payment of awards, which allows the Committee to reduce or eliminate any award at its discretion.

 

Loews Corporation 2018 Proxy27


Executive Compensation

STEP 4

Define Performance-based Income

First quarter of each year

The Compensation Committee determines what adjustments should be made to our consolidated net income for the year to account for factors that it believes would not be appropriate to include when determining performance for incentive compensation purposes.

However, by reserving the ability to exercise negative discretion to reduce an award otherwise earned, the Committee retains the ability to take into account these excluded items and other factors it deems relevant.

 

STEP 5

Calculate Performance-based Income and Conduct Participant Performance Assessment

First quarter of following year

After the fiscal year ends, the amount of performance-based income earned for the year is determined.


Once this has been determined, the Compensation Committee reviews andre-assesses each participant’s performance in the context of our financial performance and seeking to achieve the goals of our compensation philosophy.

Based upon this review andre-assessment, the Committee awards incentive compensation out of each executive’spre-allocated percentage of the performance bonus pool.

 

The Committee, in its discretion, then determines whether to award incentive compensation that meets or exceeds the target award (up to the maximum award established for that individual) or that is lower than the target award. Historically, the Committee has exercised its negative discretion to limit awards paid to thepre-established target amounts.

How We Determined the Performance Bonus Pool for 20172021 Incentive Compensation

For 2017,2021, the Compensation Committee established at the beginning of 20172021 a performance bonus pool of 4%4.5% of performance-based income, which it determined was an appropriate level to recognize the performance of plan participants, which include all of our named executive officers and other executive officers.

As has historically been the case, there was no expectation that the entire performance bonus pool would, in fact, be awarded and paid out, as the Compensation Committee’s practice has been to exercise its discretion to pay bonuses amounting to only a fraction of the performance bonus pool. The potential for excessive compensation was further limited by the establishment at the beginning of 20172021 of target levels and absolute maximum amounts for each named executive officer and each other executive officer participating in our incentive compensation program.

 

In allocating the performance bonus pool and establishing the target and maximum awards for each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee took into account:

 

our compensation philosophy and objectives, which aim to reasonably reward superior performance while eschewing formula-driven criteria, which have the potential of providing unreasonably high compensation levels;

 

the individual’s duties, past and expected performance of those duties and compensation history; and

 

our goals of increasing shareholder value over the long term.

Negative discretion

An integral part of the implementation of the cash incentive compensation program by the Compensation Committee is the ability to use negative discretion for the award to each executive officer, allowing the Committee to reduce or eliminate any award notwithstanding the level of performance-based income. This gives the Committee the flexibility to appropriately evaluate the performance of each executive officer considering not only the level of performance-based income, but also Loews’s consolidated net income and the individual’s performance.



 

For each named executive officer, other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee also took into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee relied on these qualitative factors, together with its discretion to reduce awards below the target award as well as to pay

awards up to the maximum amount, and determined not to establish other specific, quantitative criteria or numerical formulas of performance measures.

2017 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME AND RATIONALEExecutive Compensation

2021 Adjustments to Consolidated Net Income and Rationale

The Compensation Committee determined in the first quarter of 20172021 that net income should be adjusted to determine performance-based income for 20172021 as set forth below. However, by reserving the ability to exercise negative discretion to reduce an award otherwise earned, the Committee retainsretained the ability to take into account these excluded items (including, for example, impairments) and other factors it deems relevant when ultimately approving awards.

 

Adjustment identified in first quarter 20172021Rationale for exclusion

The effect of accounting changes

This item was excluded because:

 

by its nature it is not a cash item;

 

it is not within the control of the company or any named executive officer; and

 

it has the possibility of increasing or decreasing net income in ways that may not be predictable when performance-based income is established.

 

Net losses attributed to the impairment of goodwill or

long-lived assets

This item was excluded because:

 

it is not a cash item;

 

under generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill and
long-lived assets are accounted for using an impairment-based model under which the carrying value is subject to reduction, resulting in charges to income, based on a decline in fair value,
but the carrying value cannot be increased in subsequent periods
if fair values rise; and

 

doing so encourages management to approach impairment decisions objectively and impartially.

For instance, in 2010, CNA completed a retroactive reinsurance transaction under which it ceded substantially all of its estimated legacy asbestos and environmental pollution liabilities wereto a reinsurer, subject to an aggregate limit of $4 billion. Additionally, in 2021, CNA ceded certain legacy excess workers’ compensation liabilities to a reinsurer. Accordingly, theThe Compensation Committee determined that any remaining charges related to thispre-2001 legacy business, as well as any net income which may result from thestatement impact of applying retroactive reinsurance benefitsaccounting relating to the lostloss portfolio transfer transaction,transactions should not be considered when measuring current performance.

Charges Committee determined that any net income or loss relating to net reserve strengthening andor adverse dividend or premium development at CNA associated withfor accident years prior to 2000 related to mass tort claims

RealizedInvestment gains and losses

The Compensation Committee decided to exclude both realizedinvestment gains and realized losses because the decision to realize a gain or a loss is frequentlycan be a discretionary decision. Accordingly, by excluding realized gains and losses, any implication that an individual could be wrongly motivated in taking or failing to take a gain or loss in an effort to impact consolidated net income would be removed. In addition, a significant component of the company’s realized investment gains and losses

Executive Compensation

Adjustment identified in recent years has included “other-than-temporary impairments” of investment securities. As is the case with respect to impairments of goodwill or long-lived assets, these impairments can only result in charges; any subsequent increase in the market value of an impaired security can be recognized only if that security is sold.

first quarter 2021Rationale for exclusion
Catastrophe losses of CNA in excess of, but not less than, CNA’s 2017 budgeted amount

The Compensation Committee excluded this item because the level of catastrophes that impact a property and casualty insurer is, of course, unpredictable and, accordingly, not an appropriate way to measure performance. On the other hand, performance-based income should not be increased just because of a low level of catastrophes in any year. The Compensation Committee determined that the amount for catastrophe losses budgeted at the beginning of the year — which at times has been higher or lower than the actual level of catastrophe losses — is preferable for measuring performance.

ChargesAny net income or loss relating to the disposition, by judgment or settlement, of smoking- and health-related litigation.litigation that is not related to the operations of the company’s continuing consolidated subsidiaries

The Compensation Committee determined that any chargesnet income or loss relating to the disposition of litigation such as this nature wouldmatter should not be appropriate in determining performance-based income.

considered when measuring current performance.
Any net income or loss attributable to changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulting from a change in income tax rates in 2017.2021

Several of Loews’s subsidiaries, by the nature of their business, recognize significant deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which have accumulated over many years. A change in the income tax rate could have a significant impact on these deferred tax items and on Loews’s net income since the impact in the year of this change would involve the entire historical balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Compensation Committee determined to exclude this item since any change in income tax rates is, of course, unpredictable and not within the company’s control, and the resulting impact on net income and loss would not be a suitable indication of performance.

Any gain or loss on disposal of discontinued operations (but not income from operations of the discontinued operations)

The Compensation Committee determined to exclude both gains and losses from the disposal of discontinued operations in the belief that the results from a disposition, whether positive or negative, relate to the generally multi-year holding period of the asset disposed of, even though recognized in the year of disposal. Therefore, any such gains or losses could distort net income in the year of disposition.

Executive Comensation

 

For 2017,2021, performance-based income ultimately amounted to $1,038$1,211 million compared to consolidated net income of $1,164$1,578 million.

 

PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK-BASED AWARDS

Performance-based stock-based awards

The third principal element of our compensation program for named executive officers and other executive officers is stock-based awards, which in 20172021 consisted of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”).

The PRSUs, similar to the time-vesting RSUs granted in 20172021 to ournon-executive officers and certain other managerial and professional employees(“ (“non-executive RSUs”), have dividend equivalent rights (payable in additional PRSUs) and will vest in two equal tranches (subject to earlier vesting in the case of death, disability, termination without cause and certain retirements):

 

50% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and

 

50% on the third anniversary of the grant date.

In addition, for dividends, the PRSUs (along with non-executive RSUs) are credited cash (accruing interest each year at the one-year Treasury rate applicable in January of the year the dividend is paid) in respect of dividends paid, with such cash to be delivered to the executives only if and when the underlying PRSUs have been actually earned and vested.

30Loews Corporation2022 Proxy


Executive Compensation

However, unlikenon-executive RSUs, in addition to being subject to the same time-vesting terms asnon-executive RSUs, PRSUs granted to our executive officers are also subject to performance-vesting terms.

The performance-vesting terms make PRSUs dependent on the company achieving apre-established level
of performance-based income per share for 2017.2021. The terms of the PRSUs awarded in the first quarter of 20172021 provided that they would be earned by our executive officer recipients as follows (subject to the time-vesting provisions of the PRSUs):

PERFORMANCE-BASED INCOMEPerformance-based Income PER SHARE:

At or Above Target

100% of PRSUs earned

At 50% to 100% of Target

Pro rata portion of PRSUs earned

Below 50% of Target

No PRSUs earned

 

In connection with the grant of PRSUs to our executive officers in the first quarter of 2017,2021, the Compensation Committee established the performance-based income per share target for PRSUs at $1.50$2.05 per share. The Committee did not make any changes to the 2021 executive compensation program or metrics after they were established in the first quarter of 2021, including to this per share target amount.

The ultimate value of stock-based awards under our Incentive Compensation Plan is directly correlated to our performance as measured by the price of our Common Stockcommon stock over the long term. The value of these awards increases and decreases directly with changes in the price of our Common Stock.common stock. In addition, unlike base salary and incentive compensation awards, which are earned and paid based on the annual performance of the individual and the company, PRSUs awarded in 20172021 vest over a period of three years. As a result, these awards encourage executives to continue their employment with Loews. These elements further serve to align the executive’s interests with those of our shareholders.

The Compensation Committee generally makes grants of stock-based awards in the first quarter of each year at the same time the Committee performs its annual management performance evaluation and takes other compensation actions. Annual equity grants for executive officers occur on the same date as our annual equity grants for our other officers and certain professional and managerial employees, which in 20172021 was the date of the Compensation Committee’s February 20172021 meeting. As the grant date for our annual stock-based awards generally occurs on the date of a Compensation Committee meeting in the first quarter of the year, the grant date is set well in advance when the schedule of Compensation Committee meetings is arranged. Loews does not grant stock-based awards in anticipation of the release ofnon-public information or time the release of this information based on stock-based award grant dates. We also at times grant stock-based awards to new executives when they are hired or promoted during the year. These grants are approved by the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of smallsmaller grants, by our Chief Executive Officer, as delegated by the Committee).

BASE SALARYBase Salary

The base salary of each of our named executive officers for 2021 was $975,000. This amount is unchanged from previous years, except that, as noted above, each of James, Andrew and remained at $975,000,Jonathan Tisch voluntarily agreed to forego 50% of his 2020 base salary, beginning on April 1, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on Loews Hotels & Co team members. The lack of increases in base salary is consistent with our objectives of emphasizing performance-based compensation.

CASH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDSCash incentive compensation awards

For 2017,2021, the Compensation Committee made cash incentive compensation awards to our Chief Executive Officer and each of our other named executive officers, which were paid in the first quarter of 2018.2022. In determining the amounts to be paid toearned by these executives, the Committee acted consistently within
the parameters of the grants that were established in the first quarter of 2017,2021, including the size of the performance bonus pool for the year. However, the Committee also exercised its business judgment, using essentially a qualitative, rather than formula-driven, approach based on the Committee’s overall judgment of the individual’s performance in the context of our financial performance and seeking to achieve the objectives of our compensation philosophy. The Committee did not make any changes to the 2021 executive compensation program or metrics after they were established in the first quarter of 2021.

In addition to the specific factors discussed below, the Compensation Committee considered:

 

its compensation philosophy in favor of fair and consistent pay levels and against excessive or unreasonable compensation levels;

 

an emphasis on consistent, long-term, superior performance by the individual;

 

its evaluation of the performance of each named executive officer based on direct observation, since each named executive officer regularly reports to the Board on the operations of the company and its subsidiaries; and

 

for each named executive officer other than the Chief Executive Officer, executive sessions with the Chief Executive Officer in which each named executive officer’s performance is reviewed and evaluated.

These factors were not weighted and there is no formula for how these factors were applied in determining cash incentive compensation awards.

Chief Executive Officer

In making its determination regarding the grant and payment of an incentive compensation award for 2017 to our Chief Executive Officer, James S. Tisch, the Compensation Committee first considered the overall performance of the company and its principal subsidiaries. The Committee also considered, among other things, its compensation philosophy against excessive or unreasonable compensation levels and its emphasis on consistent, long-term, superior performance by the individual.

Based on these considerations, at the beginning of 2017, the Committee modestly increased Mr. Tisch’s target bonus level, but did not increase his maximum bonus level for 2017. The Committee also retained negative discretion to reduce any award to what it determines is a reasonable level under the circumstances.

The Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Tisch’s performance in 2017 Committee considered, among other things, the overall performance of the company and its principal subsidiaries, including in light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, its compensation philosophy against excessive or unreasonable compensation levels and its emphasis on consistent, long-term, superior performance by the individual.

Based on these considerations, at the beginning of 2021, the Compensation Committee kept Mr. Tisch’s target and maximum bonus levels unchanged from the prior year. The Committee also noted that, as described above, Mr. Tisch voluntarily elected to forego 50% of his 2020 incentive compensation award in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee also retained negative discretion to reduce any award to what it determines is a reasonable level under the circumstances.

The Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Tisch’s performance in 2021 and during recent prior years, considering the overall state of the markets in which Loews and its subsidiaries operate and the financial markets generally. This is consistent with the Committee’s philosophy of evaluating performance over the longer term to encourage and reward long-term value creation and to discourage unreasonable risk-taking. The Committee considered Mr. Tisch’s ability to demonstrate leadership and maintain stability and encourage prudent growth, cost-cutting initiatives and other strategies at Loews and our subsidiaries throughout the tumultuous year, and to prudently allocate the company’s capital to take advantage of market opportunities and protect against known risks.

The Compensation Committee noted the following accomplishments under Mr. Tisch’s leadership:  

  Loews repurchased more than 21 million shares, or 7.8%, of its common stock in 2021 and has repurchased approximately 85 million shares, or 26%, of its common stock since 2018, while consistently maintaining a very strong liquidity position;  

  the company’s capital to take advantage of market opportunities and protect against known risks.

The Compensation Committee noted the following accomplishments under Mr. Tisch’s leadership:

Loews’s book value per share (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income) increased approximately 17.3%22.8% during the past five years;
and  

 

the company repurchased more than 4.7 million shares, or 1.4%, of its Common Stock in 2017 and has repurchased more than 61 million shares, or 15.5%, of its Common Stock over the past five years, while consistently maintaining a very strong liquidity position; and

the leadership teams at Loews’s principal operating subsidiaries remained focused and motivated to maintain stability through the pandemic in order to ultimately drive the most value from their respective companies, helped in part by the leadership of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers.

As a result of these efforts, the underlying businesses of Loews’s subsidiaries have remained strong, even in certain challenging operating environments. For example:

 

As a result of these efforts, Loews’s investments in its subsidiaries have remained strong, even through the very challenging 2021 operating environment. For example:  

CNA has maintainedachieved strong underlying P&C underwriting profitability and premium growth while actively managing the risk in its long-term care business and maintaining an extremely strong capital position, which has allowed it to pay substantial dividendsposition;  

  Boardwalk Pipelines increased its operating results, added over $790 million to its shareholders, includingbacklog in 2021 and decreased its leverage;  

  Loews Hotels continued to stabilize its business through the company,pandemic, reopened all of its existing properties and moved forward with expanding its portfolio through new development projects; and  

  Loews realized 100% of its equity capital invested in recent years;Altium Packaging through a dividend recapitalization and the minority stake sale, while maintaining a 52.7% ownership position.

 Diamond Offshore has successfully reduced its operating costs while maintaining its focus on keeping its rigs contracted;

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners has continued to successfully execute its long-term growth strategy without the need to issue significant amounts of equity that would dilute its unit holders, including the company; and

Loews Hotels has continued to improve the operations of its portfolio of hotels and resorts.

Incentive Compensation DeterminationDetermination::The Compensation Committee determined in the first quarter of 2018, based upon his leadership and accomplishments discussed2022, for the reasons detailed above, to awardthat Mr. Tisch earned his target incentive compensation award for 2017 equal to his target award, which is a modest increase from last year.2021. This award is approximately 44%39.4% of the amount allocated to him from the performance bonus pool based on the level of Performance-based Incomeperformance-based income for the year.

Executive Compensation

Other Named Executive Officers (NEOs)


Similar to our Chief Executive Officer, each of our other named executive officers was granted a cash incentive compensation award in the first quarter of 20172021 that was paid in the first quarter of 2018.

2022.

Consistent with the Compensation Committee’s philosophy of targeting overall compensation that does not fluctuate substantially year over year, the target and maximum levels for the awards were modestly increased from last year for each of our other named executive officers whilefor 2021 were unchanged from the maximum levels were unchanged.

established for them for 2020. The Committee also noted that, as described above, each of Andrew and Jonathan Tisch voluntarily elected to forego 50% of his 2020 incentive compensation award in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In making its determination regarding the paymentamount of these awards toearned by these executives, the Compensation Committee considered many of the same factors described above that it considered for our Chief Executive Officer.Officer, including each executive’s performance through the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Based on its evaluation of each executive’s performance, including the input and recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee, in the first quarter of 2018,2022, awarded each of these other named executive officers incentive compensation equal to their target amount for 2017.

2021.
   

Incentive Compensation DeterminationDetermination::These incentive compensation awards amounted to approximately 44%39.4% of the total amount available in the performance bonus pool for each of the other named executive officers and are consistent with the Committee’s compensation philosophy in favor of rewarding consistent, long-term superior performance, but against excessive or unreasonable compensation.

 
PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK-BASED AWARDS

Performance-Based Stock-Based Awards

In making its determinations regarding the award of PRSUs in 20172021 to our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered the same factors described above on page 2732 under “Cash Incentive Compensation Awards” as well as the level of stock-based awards previously awarded to these individuals. These factors are not weighted and there is no formula for how these factors were applied in determining the number of PRSUs granted.

 

PRSU Determination:Based on all factors reviewed, in the first quarter of 2017, the Committee awarded 19,405 PRSUs, representing a grant date value of $900,000, to each member of our Office of the President and 15,308 PRSUs, representing a grant date fair value of $710,000, to each of our other named executive officers. For 2017, performance-based income amounted to $3.08 per share, resulting in 100% of these PRSUs being earned by each of our named executive officers in the first quarter of 2018; however, these PRSUs still remain subject to their time-vesting provisions, with 50% of these PRSUs vesting in 2019 and 50% vesting in 2020.

Executive Compensation
Based on all factors reviewed, in the first quarter of 2021, the Committee awarded 19,184 PRSUs, representing a grant date value of $900,000, to each of James, Andrew and Jonathan Tisch and 15,134 PRSUs, representing a grant date fair value of $710,000, to each of David Edelson and Kenneth Siegel. The grant date fair value for these awards for 2021 was unchanged from the grant date fair value of the PRSU awards made to our executive officers for 2020. For 2021, performance-based income amounted to $4.65 per share, resulting in 100% of these PRSUs being earned by each of our named executive officers in the first quarter of 2022; however, these PRSUs still remain subject to their time-vesting provisions, with 50% of these PRSUs vesting in 2023 and 50% vesting in 2024.

Executive Compensation

Other Considerations

Compensation Program as it Relates to Risk.Management and the Compensation Committee regularly review our compensation policies and practices to ensure they do not encourage excessive risk taking. This review includes the cash and equity incentive programs, which are discussed in detail above under “Compensation Program Structure and Process” beginning on page 25. Based on this review, we do not believe that our compensation program encourages excessive risk taking, due to, among many considerations, the following plan design elements:

Our program appropriately balances the three primary components of our executives’ compensation: base salary, cash incentive compensation and equity-based incentive compensation.

The Compensation Committee establishes reasonable, but achievable, performance targets for cash and equity-based incentive compensation in order to motivate our executives to create value for our shareholders over the long term while exercising prudent risk management.

Awards of cash and equity-based incentive compensation are capped, and the Compensation Committee has the authority to exercise negative discretion with respect to payouts of cash incentive compensation, limiting excessive rewards for short-term results.

Each of James and Jonathan Tisch, the members of our Office of the President, and Andrew Tisch, Co-Chairman of our Board, owns, and has owned for many years, a significant amount of our common stock, which strongly aligns their interests with those of our shareholders and encourages a long-term focus.

Our clawback policy, described below, allows for the recoupment of incentive compensation payments and awards if an executive officer’s conduct leads to a restatement of our financial results, which mitigates risk.

Clawback Policy.We have adopted a policy that allows for the recoupment of incentive compensation (cash and equity-based) paid or awarded to an executive officer if we are required to restate our financial statements due to material noncompliance with federal securities laws if that officer’s intentional or unlawful misconduct materially contributed to the need for such restatement. In such case, for any period affected by the restatement, the executive’s incentive compensation will be subject to recoupment to the extent the amounts paid or awarded were greater than the amounts that would have been paid or awarded if they had been calculated on the basis of the restated financial results.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy.We have adopted a policy that prohibits directors and executive officers from entering into hedging transactions in our common stock. For purposes of this policy, a hedging transaction is the entry into, or purchase or sale of, any financial instrument (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps and collars), or the entry into of any other transaction, in each case for the express purpose of offsetting a potential decline in the market value of our common stock. For the avoidance of doubt, financial instruments and transactions subject to this policy do not include transactions in securities (or derivative instruments relating thereto) of any open-end mutual fund, unit investment trust or exchange-traded fund, or of any company that is not affiliated with us.

In addition, directors and executive officers are prohibited from pledging our common stock, options relating to our common stock or any other security linked to our common stock as collateral for a loan unless the director or executive officer has the ability to repay the loan without liquidating the pledged stock and the loan is fully recourse to the director or executive officer.

Employment AgreementsAgreements.. We have no employment or other agreements relating to severance or payment upon a change of control with any of our named executive officers or other executive officers.

Share Ownership Guidelinesby Executive Officers and Directors.. Although we have not adopted any share ownership guidelines for our executive officers, we note that, asAs disclosed above under “Director and Officer Holdings” on page 19, each memberof James and Jonathan Tisch, the members of our Office of the President, and Andrew Tisch, Co-Chairman of our Board, owns, and has owned for many years, a significant amount of our Common Stock,common stock, which strongly aligns their interests with those of our other shareholders.

Tax and Accounting Considerations. Our Compensation Committee takes into consideration the accounting and tax implications of our compensation and benefit programs, including with respect to the tax deductibility of compensation paid under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the tax deductibility of annual compensation paid by public companies to certain executive officers to $1 million. Prior to the enactment of the tax reform legislation in December 2017, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provided an exemption from this limitation for “qualified performance-based compensation,” which we historically relied on to obtain a tax deduction for performance-based compensation paid to our named executive officers, including cash incentive compensation and PRSUs awarded in 2017. However, the tax reform legislation repealed the “qualified performance-based compensation” exemption under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Each SAR reported above vested and became exercisable with respect to 100% of its underlying securities on the date it was granted.

(2)The exercise prices were calculated in accordance with Diamond Offshore’s stock option plan by averaging the high and low sales prices of Diamond Offshore’s common stock as traded on The New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately preceding the grant date.

(3)The New York Stock Exchange was not open for trading on the grant dates, so the prices in this column reflect the closing market price on the last trading day prior to each grant date.

Deferred Compensation

2008 Plan.The following table shows information regarding compensation deferred by Mr.David Edelson on a nonqualified basis under our legacy Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which was frozen as of December 31, 2015. Under that plan, employees earning in excess of $100,000 per year could defer up to ten percent of their base salaries for a period of not less than three years, or until they are no longer employed by us. Deferred amounts are maintained by us in an interest-bearing account. Upon electing to participate in this plan each year, each participating employee chose the amount to be deferred and the duration of the deferral, whether to receive distributions of deferred amounts in a single payment or in equal annual installments over any period of time up to 15 years, and an interest rate from a selection of short-term and long-term rates established in accordance with the plan’s requirements and available depending on the duration of the deferral. None of our other named executive officers have outstanding balances under this plan.

In addition, we make annual contributions to the Deferred Investment Plan accounts of eligible employees equal to 5% of the participant’s annual cash compensation that is in excess of the annual IRS compensation limits for 401(k) plans.

Upon electing to participate each year, a participant chooses the amount to be deferred, the duration of the deferral and whether to receive distributions of deferred amounts in a single payment or in equal annual installments over a period of up to 15 years. Participants may allocate deferred account balances among a number of investment funds selected by the benefits committee administering the plan.

Executive Compensation Tables

CEO Pay Ratio

Under SEC rules established pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required beginning with our 2017 fiscal year, to disclose the ratio of pay of our Chief Executive Officer to that of our median employee, as defined under those rules, excluding our Chief Executive Officer. In order to estimate this ratio, we first determined our employee population using a determination date of December 31, 2017.2021. A new determination date was used this year to reflect changes to our employee population since the prior determination date. Under the SEC rules, our employee population includesincluded approximately 15,50015,587 employees from Loews Corporation and certain of our controlledconsolidated subsidiaries — CNA, Diamond Offshore, Boardwalk Pipeline PartnersPipelines and Loews Hotels. We excluded Consolidated Container Company pursuant to the applicable rules as it was acquired during 2017. As of December 31, 2017, Consolidated Container Company had approximately 2,300 employees. We identified the median employee from this employee population using a compensation measure that incorporatesincorporated base salary, overtime and any bonuses paid for 2017.2021. For employees hired during the year, their compensation was annualized to reflect a full year of wages. TheInternational employees’ pay was converted to US dollar equivalents using the average of the exchange rates from January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. For 2021, the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, which is equal to the total compensation amount reflected in the Summary Compensation Table above, and the median employee from the employee population determined under the SEC rules is $6,527,773$6,119,523 and $77,916,$53,781, respectively. This results in a CEO pay ratio estimate of 84:114:1. Given the numerous different methodologies, assumptions, adjustments and estimates that companies may apply as permitted under SEC rules, this information may not be an appropriate basis for comparison between different companies.

Proposal No. 3: Ratification of the Appointment of Our Independent Auditors

Proposal No. 3:
Ratification of the Appointment of Our Independent Auditors

Proposal No. 3:

Ratification of the Appointment

of Our Independent Auditors

Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent external audit firm retained to audit our financial statements and the audit fee negotiations associated with their retention. Our Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent auditors for 2018.2022. The Audit Committee regularly evaluates the performance of our independent auditors to determine if it is engaging the firm it believes is best positioned to serve the company and its shareholders. The Audit Committee also periodically considers whether, in order to assure continuing auditor independence, Loews should rotate its independent external audit firm. In conjunction with the mandated rotation of the independent auditors’ lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its Chairman participate in the selection of each new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as Loews’s independent external auditor is in the best interests of Loews and its shareholders.

Although it is not required to do so, our Board wishes to submit the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP for ratification by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Even if this selection is ratified by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, our Audit Committee may at its discretion change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our shareholders. If our shareholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, our Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be at the Annual Meeting to answer appropriate questions and, if they choose to do so, to make a statement.

Audit Committee Report

Audit Committee Report

The primary role of the Board’s Audit Committee is to oversee our financial reporting process and manage our relationship with our independent auditors. For more information about the Audit Committee’s responsibilities please see “Board Committees” on page 13. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed, and discussed with Loews’s management and independent auditors, the company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.2021. The Audit Committee has also discussed with our independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted and as amended by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).

In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors their independence in relation to Loews and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures provided to the Audit Committee as required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the audit committeeAudit Committee concerning independence. We have determined that the provision ofnon-audit services provided by the auditors is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. For more information about services provided by our independent auditors, please read “Audit Fees and Services,” in Proposal 3 on page 51.49.

The members of the Audit Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them by management and the independent auditors and on management’s representation that the company’s financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity. They do not provide any expert or special assurance as to Loews’s financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent auditors’ work. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has applied appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or internal controls and procedures, that the audit of the company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that Loews’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or that the company’s auditors are in fact “independent.”

Based upon the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2021, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
