Corporate Structure FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions Question Commentary 1. Why does Athene have reinsurance operations in Bermuda? • Bermuda provides Athene an efficient means to raise third-party capital. Investing in a Bermuda reinsurance entity provides non-U.S. investors a more tax efficient means to invest capital that supports Athene’s policyholders. While Bermuda is enacting a 15% corporate income tax, it remains below the U.S. and there is no second layer of Bermuda tax on distributions to investors. While the U.S. insurance industry has struggled to raise primary equity capital, Athene has raised substantial third-party equity capital through its Bermuda entities. • Following its merger with Apollo, Athene itself is a full U.S. taxpayer: The third-party investors in ACRA are the only beneficiaries of the tax advantages from investing in a Bermuda reinsurer versus a U.S. company. • Not all ‘offshore’ insurance jurisdictions are equal, and Bermuda is a premier international reinsurance jurisdiction. Athene was founded as a reinsurer and chose to establish itself in Bermuda because of the leading infrastructure, regulatory expertise, and staff talent. The United States National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") has approved Bermuda as a Qualified Jurisdiction and most recently a Reciprocal Jurisdiction for reinsurance purposes. European regulators have also approved Bermuda for Solvency II equivalency. Athene maintains substantial presence in Bermuda. Athene has 100 employees in Bermuda, more than any other Bermuda based life insurance entity. Many other large reinsurers, including AIG, AXA XL, Chubb, MassMutual, MetLife, Munich Re, Pacific Life, Prudential and RGA, have substantial operations in Bermuda. • Athene runs its Bermuda entities to the same reserving principles as its U.S. insurance subsidiaries. At any given time, Athene manages Bermuda balance sheets to the most binding capital regimes implied by each of Bermuda regulators, U.S. regulators, and Athene’s four rating agencies. Athene does not select the domicile in which to hold a particular type of business or asset based on the capital or reserving standards of that jurisdiction. • Athene does not maintain any regulated insurance balance sheets in the Cayman Islands. Athene is committed to doing business in jurisdictions that have established, recognized and credible regulatory regimes in place. A good indicator of that is whether a jurisdiction has been recognized by the U.S. as a reciprocal jurisdiction, is subject to a Covered Agreement, or has been designated as equivalent by the European Union. Bermuda is an example of such a recognized jurisdiction; the Cayman Islands are not. Regulators concerned about regulatory arbitrage should be taking note of companies doing business in jurisdictions that are not recognized. 13
Frequently Asked Questions Note: All metrics as of December 31, 2023 unless otherwise disclosed. 1. Represents the financial strength ratings of Athene’s primary insurance subsidiaries. Financial strength ratings are statements of opinions and not statements of facts or recommendations to purchase, hold or sell securities. They do not address the suitability of securities for investment purposes and should not be relied on as investment advice. 2. See slide 11 for the definitions of U.S. RBC, Bermuda RBC and Consolidated RBC. 3. Regulatory capital is also referred to as “statutory capital” in this presentation and is presented here as of December 31, 2023. Statutory capital includes noncontrolling interests in ACRA. 4. Excess equity capital is computed as capital in excess of the capital required to support Athene's core operating strategies, as determined based upon internal modeling and analysis of economic risk, as well as inputs from rating agency capital models and consideration of both NAIC RBC and Bermuda capital requirements. 5. Untapped debt capacity assumes capacity of 25% adjusted debt to capitalization and is subject to general availability and market conditions. Question Commentary 2. What is the impact to Athene from Bermuda's enactment of the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023? • On December 27, 2023, Bermuda announced it is enacting a 15% corporate income tax. • Because of the new Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act (CIT), Athene recorded a new net DTA of $1.8B on a GAAP basis at year-end 2023. • Since the merger with Apollo, Athene has been and will continue to be a U.S. corporate taxpayer at prevailing statutory rates (currently 21%). 3. How does Athene capitalize its insurance entities? • Athene is well-capitalized and is highly rated (IFRS ratings of A1 by Moody’s, A+ by S&P, A+ by Fitch, and A by AM Best)1. • Athene’s Bermuda entities are managed to the same reserving principles as Athene’s U.S. entities. Athene’s Bermuda balance sheets are managed under the reserving and capital standards implied by each of Bermuda regulators, U.S. regulators, and its four ratings agencies, and Athene is managed to the most binding of those capital regimes at any given time. Athene does not select the domicile in which to hold a particular type of business or business written in a particular market environment based on the capital or reserving standards of that jurisdiction. Athene does not ‘shop’ between jurisdictions. • Athene manages capital in line with its view of the economic risk in each entity (capital is held by the entity bearing the risk). Athene’s Bermuda subsidiaries are managed to substantially the same reserving and capital levels as the U.S. insurance entities that report on a U.S. Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) metric. As of December 31, 2023, Athene’s Bermudian reinsurance subsidiaries had a combined RBC of 400%, Athene’s U.S. subsidiaries had a combined RBC of 392%2. • At year end 2023, Athene holds capital in excess of ‘AA’ levels under the S&P capital model and had $26.2 billion3 of regulatory capital including ACRA noncontrolling interests. • At year end 2023, Athene had access to ~$8.0 billion of deployable capital, including: i) $2.6 billion4 of regulatory capital viewed as excess equity capital, ii) $3.8 billion of untapped leverage capacity5, and iii) access to $1.6 billion of undrawn capital at ACRA, Athene’s strategic sidecar structure. 14
Frequently Asked Questions Commentary 4. Did Athene Holding Company redomicile in the U.S.? • Effective December 31, 2023, Athene's parent company, Athene Holding Ltd., redomiciled from Bermuda to the state of Delaware. As a result, Athene Holding Ltd. is a U.S. corporation. • Athene Holdco redomiciled to simplify its corporate structure following the merger with Apollo in 2022; the regulated Bermuda insurance entities remain. Athene has been subject to U.S. corporate taxes at a 21% statutory corporate rate since the merger with Apollo. • There are no changes to regulatory requirements. Iowa remains group supervisor. • The 8-K Filing announcing the redomicile to Delaware can be found here. 5. Are there capital maintenance obligations to Athene’s insurance subsidiaries? • A capital maintenance agreement requires a parent company to provide capital, or cause capital to be provided, to its insurance subsidiary to the extent the subsidiary’s capital falls below an agreed upon amount. • We have several capital maintenance agreements in place, including from Athene Holding Ltd. (AHL) (capital provider) to Athene Annuity & Life Assurance Company (our Delaware domiciled insurer) and Athene Annuity and Life Company (AAIA) (our Iowa domiciled insurer) and from AAIA (capital provider) to Athene Annuity & Life Assurance Company of New York (AANY) (our New York domiciled insurer). • Each agreement (i) requires the capital provider to maintain the RBC ratio of the relevant insurer to a certain level and (ii) is perpetual until terminated with the consent of the relevant state insurance regulator (e.g., the New York Department of Financial Services in the case of the AAIA – AANY agreement). • Through these capital maintenance agreements, clients benefit from Athene’s aggregate capitalization. 15
Frequently Asked Questions Note: All metrics as of December 31, 2023 unless otherwise disclosed. 1. Gross regulatory capital includes noncontrolling interests in ACRA. 2. Including the non controlling interests. Question Commentary 6. Why does Athene use intercompany reinsurance? • Intercompany reinsurance is a common practice in the insurance industry. Intercompany reinsurance allows insurance companies to pool risk into and diversify risks within particular entities. It strengthens the creditworthiness of the entire group by making the capital in all entities available to support risks assumed by any one particular entity. It is on this consolidated basis that rating agencies, clients, and shareholders look at Athene’s capital levels. • When reinsurance clients choose to face Athene’s U.S. entities for their reinsurance needs or when those U.S. entities offer policies directly to U.S. consumers, Athene typically utilizes internal reinsurance to transfer the majority of the liabilities to its Bermuda subsidiaries. This allows all policyholders to benefit from Athene’s aggregate capitalization, including $19.0 billion1 of gross regulatory capital in its Bermuda subsidiaries, and access to third-party capital raised to support its insurance business. • Like Athene’s reinsurance transactions with third parties, Athene’s intercompany reinsurance transactions are executed in accordance with appropriate insurance regulation. • Athene’s primary purpose for intercompany reinsurance is to utilize on demand capital from third party investors in their ACRA sidecars 7. How do Athene’s reinsurance agreements impact the statutory financials of Athene’s respective entities? • Under modified and funds-withheld coinsurance agreements, the ceding insurer maintains possession of the assets in a dedicated account in order to provide further protection against the credit risk of a reinsurer. Accordingly, the assets backing the liabilities reinsured to Athene’s Bermudian reinsurers remain on the balance sheets of the U.S. reinsurance clients. The risk, and the capital backing that risk, sits with Bermudian reinsurers as documented in the reinsurance treaties. • All the intercompany liabilities reinsured to Athene’s Bermuda subsidiaries under Athene’s structure, like those of its third-party clients, benefit from the substantial $19.0 billion1 gross regulatory capital base in the Bermuda entities. • As a result, Athene’s U.S. statutory financials show ~75%2 of its assets, but less than 25% of its capital. 16
Frequently Asked Questions Note: All metrics as of December 31, 2023 unless otherwise disclosed. 1. The risk-based capital ratio of Athene's non-U.S. reinsurance subsidiaries is calculated by applying NAIC risk-based capital factors to the statutory financial statements on an aggregate basis, excluding U.S. subsidiaries and interests in other non- insurance subsidiary holding companies with an adjustment in Bermuda and non-insurance holdings companies to limit RBC concentration charges such that when they are applied to determine target capital, the charges do not exceed 100% of the asset’s carrying value. 2. The CAL RBC ratio for AADE, Athene's parent U.S. insurance company. Question Commentary 8. Would NAIC changes to asset adequacy / cash flow testing on reinsurance impact Athene? • The analysis is in the early stages and subject to robust deliberation by the NAIC. • Athene conducts quarterly cash flow testing on a legal entity basis, including all Bermuda entities, as well as on a consolidated basis. • All balance sheets are managed to the most binding capital regimes of US, Bermuda, and the four rating agencies. • Similar reserve, capital and risk management practices between the U.S. and Bermuda (Bermuda RBC of 400%1; $1B of reserves in the U.S. = $1B of reserves in Bermuda) 9. Where can I find additional disclosure on Athene’s Bermuda entities? • Athene makes financial statements of several of its insurance operating subsidiaries, including its Bermudian reinsurance entity Athene Life Re Ltd. ("Athene Life Re"), available on its website: https://ir.athene.com/FinancialDocs. The latest key financial disclosures provided to the Bermuda Monetary Authority, are available at the following link. • Athene Life Re also has a dedicated website on which it publishes Athene Life Re’s annual audited GAAP financials and its Financial Condition Report, a report on the business operations of a Bermuda-based insurance company including its risk management, governance and capital position. A link to Athene Life Re’s website is here: https://www.athenelifere.bm/about/financials/. • In addition to disclosure under Bermuda regulation, Athene voluntarily discloses the capitalization of its Bermuda entities under the alternative U.S. Risk Based Capital framework. On an annual basis, Athene discloses the RBC of both Bermudian 400%1 and U.S. 392%2 reinsurance subsidiaries in its Form 10-K. See a link to the latest Form 10-K at https://ir.athene.com/Docs. • While Athene makes all this disclosure available on an entity level, the company’s structure means that stakeholders are supported by the aggregate capital across each of Athene’s entities. Athene’s consolidated financials provide a combined view across all its entities, and it is on this basis that rating agencies, clients, and shareholders look at Athene’s capital levels. Athene’s consolidated financials are available here: https://ir.athene.com/QuarterlyResults and https://ir.athene.com/Docs. 17
18 Frequently Asked Questions 1. Absent failure to pay by the U.S. reinsurance client. 2. Once a judgement against an Athene Bermuda reinsurer is obtained in a U.S. court, an Athene U.S. insurer would enforce the judgment in Bermuda. Question Commentary 10. How would Athene’s U.S. entities legally ensure support from their Bermuda affiliates? • The reinsurance treaties between Athene’s U.S. insurance entities and their affiliated Bermuda reinsurers are generally similar to other modified and funds withheld coinsurance reinsurance treaties used between third-parties in the industry. Such reinsurance requires that collateral is fully funded, as tested quarterly. In the event the collateral is in deficit, the reinsurer is required to contribute to fully fund the collateral requirement. • Athene’s Bermuda entities have no legal right to terminate their obligations under the reinsurance treaties without the consent of their affiliated U.S. reinsurance clients. 1 Performance by Athene’s Bermuda reinsurers is further assured as a result of those entities being under common control with the U.S. entities and the fact that it is on the consolidated basis that rating agencies, clients, and shareholders look at Athene. • In the unlikely event that Athene’s Bermuda entities do materially breach a reinsurance contract, including failure to pay, the Athene U.S. entity may terminate that reinsurance treaty following a cure period. Such termination would result in a recapture of the insurance policies and a release of the insurance reserve assets held at the Athene U.S. insurer with respect to the policies. Upon termination, the Athene Bermuda reinsurer would also be required to pay any final settlement of claims under the reinsurance treaty. In addition, it is helpful that the underlying assets have remained on the U.S. entity’s balance sheet, so there would be no need to ‘claw’ them back. • Any breach of contract due to failure to pay amounts under the treaty, including a termination payment (if any), would be subject to U.S. law (generally the state of the relevant Athene insurer) and any disputes as to payments would be subject to arbitration in the U.S.2
Frequently Asked Questions Question Commentary 11. Athene pays a dividend to Apollo, can the dividend be adjusted? • Athene intends to pay regular common stock dividends to its parent company of $750 million per year, consistent with its business plan. • Management, together with Apollo, periodically evaluates Athene’s business plan to ensure the amount of the common stock dividend is appropriate given the competing uses for its capital and may adjust this amount depending on the need to fund these competing uses from time to time. 12. Are there cross- guarantees between the Apollo and Athene debt and preferred stock issuances? • No, there are no such cross-guarantees between the Apollo credit group, comprised of Apollo Global Management (Holding Company) and Apollo Asset Management, and Athene Holding Ltd. 13. Will Apollo support Athene with capital if it is needed to support policyholders? • Athene Holding Ltd. and Apollo Asset Management maintain separate and distinct credit profiles and capital structures. • While there are no such guarantees of support, Athene is a subsidiary of, and consolidated within, Apollo Global Management. Both entities, including Athene’s policyholders, collectively benefit from the strength of the fully consolidated business. 19
Frequently Asked Questions Question Commentary 14. Who is Athene’s regulator? • The Iowa Insurance Division (IID) is Athene’s group supervisor. Each insurance entity also has a local regulator. Athene’s insurance regulators include Iowa, Bermuda, Delaware, and New York. 15. What is an IAIG, and what does this designation mean for Athene? • An Internationally Active Insurance Group (IAIG) is an insurance group which, based on the group’s size and amount or degree of international activity, has been deemed by the group’s group wide supervisor in its discretion to be an “internationally active insurance group.” The definition of an IAIG and what that designation means for a group is based on the International Association of Insurance Supervisors’ (IAIS) Common Framework for Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups, as implemented in a particular jurisdiction. • The IID identified AGM as meeting the criteria as an IAIG and further identified Athene as the Head of the IAIG in February 2024. • As head of the IAIG, Athene is expected to ultimately be subject to the relevant group capital calculation, known as the Aggregation Method, that will apply to U.S. headquartered IAIGs once adopted by U.S. regulators. The Aggregation Method is anticipated to be adopted in 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on Athene’s capital requirements. • As an IAIG, Apollo joins approximately 50 IAIGs from more than 15 jurisdictions in shaping the regulatory future of the industry. Apollo will work alongside well-known and well-established organizations such as Allianz, Berkshire Hathaway, Chubb, MetLife, and Prudential. 20
Frequently Asked Questions 1. Includes $4.1 billion of Goodwill from the APO merger. 2. GAAP vs. Regulatory accounting differences driven by GAAP vs. STAT Reserves, GAAP vs STAT Investments, DAC/VOBA, Taxes and other accounting methodology differences. Question Commentary 16. What are the major differences between Regulatory Capital (STAT) and GAAP Adjusted AHL Common Stockholder’s Equity? • Three major factors drive the difference between Regulatory Capital and GAAP Adjusted AHL Common Stockholders Equity, at year-end 2023: • Unlike GAAP, statutory accounting does not allow companies to defer acquisition costs or create intangible goodwill from acquisitions. For some insurance companies these intangible GAAP assets can be sizeable, inflating GAAP Stockholders Equity relative to ‘hard’ regulatory capital.

Non-GAAP Measures & Definitions 33 Assets Under Management “Assets Under Management”, or “AUM”, refers to the assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which Apollo provides investment management, advisory, or certain other investment-related services, including, without limitation, capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. AUM equals the sum of: 1. the net asset value (“NAV”), plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments, or gross assets plus capital commitments, of the yield and certain hybrid funds, partnerships and accounts for which we provide investment management or advisory services, other than certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), and certain perpetual capital vehicles, which have a fee-generating basis other than the mark-to-market value of the underlying assets; for certain perpetual capital vehicles in yield, gross asset value plus available financing capacity; 2. the fair value of the investments of equity and certain hybrid funds, partnerships and accounts Apollo manages or advise, plus the capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts are entitled to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments, plus portfolio level financings; 3. the gross asset value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets Apollo manages or advises; and 4. the fair value of any other assets that Apollo manages or advises for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which Apollo provides investment management, advisory, or certain other investment-related services, plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts for investments that may require pre-qualification or other conditions before investment plus any other capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above. Apollo’s AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which Apollo charges either nominal or zero fees. Apollo’s AUM measure also includes assets for which Apollo does not have investment discretion, including certain assets for which Apollo earns only investment-related service fees, rather than management or advisory fees. Apollo’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in its governing documents or in any Apollo Fund management agreements. Apollo considers multiple factors for determining what should be included in its definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) Apollo’s ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) Apollo’s ability to generate income from the underlying assets in its funds; and (3) the AUM measures that Apollo uses internally or believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, Apollo’s calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Apollo’s calculation also differs from the manner in which its affiliates registered with the SEC report “Regulatory Assets Under Management” on Form ADV and Form PF in various ways. Apollo uses AUM as a performance measurement of its investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs.
