Thank you, and welcome to Delphi Financial’s first quarter 2010 conference call. The earnings release was distributed last evening and it’s posted on the company’s web site, along with the first quarter financial supplement. This call is also being broadcast live on our web site www.Delphifin.com.

Participating in the call this morning with me are Don Sherman, Delphi’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Nita Savage, Vice President of Finance, Bernie Kilkelly, Vice President of Investor Relations, and our colleagues at Reliance Standard Life, Safety National, and Matrix.

Before we get into the call, I want to take a moment to recognize Bob Smith. We announced last week he is retiring from Delphi. I know that many of you who known Bob over the year and join us and wishing him happy and fulfilling retirement. One of Bob’s many achievements with Delphi is the strong team he developed, overseeing investment and financial strategy, corporate development and investor relations.
