There are certain differences between Bermuda statutory and US statutory frameworks that result in Consolidated RBC being approximately 20 RBC points higher as of December 31, 2025. The primary driver of this difference is that Bermuda statutory financial statements require that assets assumed as part of a reinsurance transaction and any assets sold are recorded at their market value, without posting an interest maintenance reserve.

Net investment earned rate						Computed as the income from our net invested assets divided by the average net invested assets for the relevant period, presented on an annualized basis for interim periods. The primary adjustments to net investment income to arrive at our net investment earnings are (a) net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interests), (b) forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges, (c) amortization of premium/discount on held-for-trading securities, (d) the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, (e) an adjustment to the change in net asset value of our ADIP investments to recognize our proportionate share of spread related earnings based on our ownership in the investment funds and (f) the removal of the proportionate share of the ACRA net investment income associated with the noncontrolling interests.

Net investment earned rate excludes the income and assets on business related to ceded reinsurance transactions.
Net investment spread						Net investment spread measures our investment performance plus our strategic capital management fees less our total cost of funds, presented on an annualized basis for interim periods.

Net reserve liabilities include our economic ownership of ACRA reserve liabilities but do not include the reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interests. Net reserve liabilities are net of the ceded liabilities to third-party reinsurers as the costs of the liabilities are passed to such reinsurers and, therefore, we have no net economic exposure to such liabilities, assuming our reinsurance counterparties perform under our agreements. Net reserve liabilities include the underlying liabilities assumed through modco reinsurance agreements in order to match the liabilities with the expenses incurred.
Payout annuities						Annuities with a current cash payment component, which consist primarily of single premium immediate annuities, supplemental contracts and structured settlements

Item 1. Business

Overview

We are a leading financial services company that specializes in issuing, reinsuring and acquiring retirement savings products designed for the increasing number of individuals and institutions seeking to fund retirement needs. Apollo Global Management, Inc. (AGM, and together with its subsidiaries other than us or our subsidiaries, Apollo) (NYSE: APO) is the beneficial owner of 100% of our common stock and controls all of the voting power to elect our board of directors.

We focus on generating spread income by combining our two core competencies of (1) sourcing long-term, persistent liabilities and (2) using the global scale and reach of Apollo’s asset management business to actively source or originate assets with our preferred risk and return characteristics. Our investment philosophy is to invest a portion of our assets in securities that earn an incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk and capitalize on our long-dated, persistent liability profile to prudently achieve higher net investment earned rates, rather than assuming incremental credit risk. Our differentiated investment strategy benefits from our relationship with Apollo, which provides a full suite of services for our investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisitions asset diligence, and certain operational support services including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Our relationship with Apollo provides us with access to Apollo’s investment professionals around the world, as well as Apollo’s global asset management infrastructure across a broad array of asset classes. We are led by a highly skilled management team with extensive industry experience.

Apollo’s asset management expertise supports the sourcing and underwriting of assets for our portfolio. We are invested in a diverse array of primarily high-grade fixed income assets including corporate bonds, structured securities, and commercial and residential real estate loans, among others. We establish risk thresholds which in turn define risk tolerance across a wide range of factors, including credit risk, liquidity risk, concentration risk and caps on specific asset classes. In addition to other efforts, we manage the risk of rising interest rates by strategically allocating a meaningful portion of our investment portfolio into floating rate securities. We manage our interest rate risk in a declining rate environment through hedging activity or the issuance of additional floating rate liabilities to lower our overall net floating rate position. We also maintain holdings in less interest rate-sensitive investments, including collateralized loan obligations (CLO), non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and various types of structured products, consistent with our strategy of pursuing incremental yield by assuming liquidity and complexity risk, rather than assuming incremental credit risk.

Rather than increase our allocation to higher risk securities to increase yield, we pursue the direct origination of high-quality, predominantly senior secured assets, which we believe possess greater alpha-generating qualities than securities that would otherwise be readily available in public markets. These direct origination strategies include investments sourced by (1) affiliated platforms that originate loans to third parties and in which we gain exposure directly to the loan or indirectly through our ownership of the origination platform and/or securitizations of assets originated by the origination platform, and (2) Apollo’s extensive network of direct relationships with predominantly investment-grade counterparties.

We use, and may continue to use, derivatives, including swaps, options, futures and forward contracts, and reinsurance contracts, to hedge risks such as current or future changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, current or future changes in cash flows and changes in interest rates, equity markets, currency fluctuations and longevity.

Relationship with Apollo

We are a subsidiary of AGM. Through this relationship, Apollo allows us to leverage the scale of its asset management platform to source attractive assets for our investment portfolio. In addition to co-founding the Company, Apollo assists us in identifying and capitalizing on acquisition and block reinsurance opportunities that have helped us significantly grow our business. Six of our twelve directors are employees of or consultants to, or are otherwise affiliated with, Apollo, including (1) our Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, who is also a member of the board of directors and an executive officer of Apollo, and the Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Insurance Solutions Group LP (ISG), our investment manager and a subsidiary of AGM, and (2) our Chief Executive Officer, who is a Partner and an executive officer of Apollo. Additionally, our Chief Financial Officer is a Partner and employee of Apollo. See Item 1A. Risk Factors–Risks Relating to Our Relationship with Apollo–There are potential conflicts of interests between Apollo, our corporate parent, and the holders of our preferred stock and Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Growth Strategy

The key components of our long-term growth strategy are as follows:

•Expand Our Organic Distribution Channels – We plan to grow organically by expanding our retail, flow reinsurance and institutional distribution channels throughout the US, including expanding our product offering and distribution capabilities to help meet growing retirement needs. We plan to supplement our domestic growth through international expansion, particularly in Asia. These organic channels generally allow us to adjust our product mix to originate liabilities that meet our return targets in diverse market environments.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

We expect our retail channel to continue to benefit from our credit profile, strong financial position, suite of capital-efficient products and product design capabilities. We believe that this should support growth in sales at our desired cost of funds through increased volumes in each of our existing retail channels, including expanding our bank and broker-dealer networks. However, we do not seek to achieve volume growth at the expense of profitability. As a result, we adjust our retail pricing rapidly for changes in asset yields.

Within our flow reinsurance channel, we expect our credit profile and growing reputation as a valuable reinsurance counterparty will enable us to attract additional flow reinsurance partners while continuing to support strong volumes with existing counterparties. Our ability to provide attractive solutions to reinsurance partners was demonstrated by our entry into the Japanese and other Asia-Pacific markets with the establishment of several partnerships across the APAC region and in the US over the past several years. Similar to our retail channel, we do not seek to achieve volume growth at the expense of profitability and, therefore, tend to respond rapidly to adjust our pricing for changes in asset yields.

We expect to grow our institutional channel by continuing to engage in programmatic issuances of funding agreements and pursuing additional pension group annuity transactions. Our demonstrated ability to create customized solutions for pension group annuity counterparties seeking to reduce or eliminate their exposure to pension obligations will continue to allow us to be active in this channel. Although the competitive environment and litigation against certain of our pension group annuity clients has limited the number of transactions more recently, going forward, we expect to build on our overall growth in the US and explore options for transactions in other jurisdictions.

•Pursue Attractive Inorganic Growth Opportunities – We plan to continue leveraging our expertise in sourcing and evaluating inorganic transactions to grow our business profitably. We believe that our demonstrated ability to successfully consummate complex transactions, strong ratings, deep access to capital, and asset management expertise through our partnership with Apollo, provides us with distinct advantages relative to other acquisition and block reinsurance counterparty candidates. Furthermore, we have achieved sufficient scale to provide meaningful operational synergies for the businesses and blocks of business that we acquire and reinsure, respectively. Consequently, we believe that we are an attractive partner to insurance companies seeking to release capital backing asset intensive business lines or restructure certain aspects of their businesses.

•Expand Our Product Offering – We seek to build products that meet our policyholders’ retirement savings objectives, such as accumulation, income and legacy planning. Our products are customized for each of the retail channels through which we distribute, including independent marketing organizations (IMOs), banks, and independent broker dealers, and represent innovative solutions that meet the needs of policyholders in each of these channels. We continue to release updated or new products to meet the evolving needs of policyholders. Our diverse Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) product offerings are complemented by a number of innovative custom indices, which allow our customers to gain access to sophisticated strategies that are designed for better performance within our products. During 2025, approximately 55% of sales went to custom indices that are only available through our products. In 2025, Athene was recognized for its indexed annuity lineup by winning “Deal of the Year - FIA” for its Athene Protector product from Structured Retail Products and “Best Carrier” from Structured Product Intelligence.

In addition to existing markets, we are creating products that capitalize on the capabilities of both Apollo and Athene to enter new markets to help meet growing retirement needs. In 2025, we launched and issued our first Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC) to defined contribution stable value funds and began selling structured settlement annuities. To better position us to expand distribution of annuities to defined contribution plans, we acquired Advantage Retirement Solutions, which was rebranded to Vitera, and made enhancements to our annuity offering with Vitera in 2025. Vitera provides guaranteed lifetime income as an asset class by using its flagship technology to embed that asset class into a target date fund using group fixed indexed annuities with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits that we and other insurance carriers issue. We plan to continue to innovate and develop new products suitable for defined contribution plans, stable value funds, health savings accounts and international retirement markets.

•Leverage Our Merger with Apollo – We intend to continue leveraging our close relationship with Apollo to source high-quality assets with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Apollo’s global scale and reach provide us with broad market access across environments and geographies and allow us to actively source assets that exhibit our preferred risk and return characteristics. We will also continue to partner with Apollo’s portfolio of origination platforms, which provide us assets with higher spreads than those available in the public markets. See –Investment Management for more information regarding Apollo’s origination platforms. Our relationship with Apollo will allow us to continue to offer creative solutions to insurance companies seeking to restructure their businesses and may enable us opportunities to source additional volumes of attractively priced liabilities.

Finally, our relationship with Apollo will continue to provide us with access to on-demand capital through ACRA. We believe this capital will continue to be instrumental to executing our growth strategy. See –Capital for additional information regarding ACRA.

Item 1. Business

•Allocate Assets during Market Dislocations – As we have done successfully in the past, we plan to capitalize on future market dislocations to opportunistically reposition our portfolio to capture incremental yield. For example, regulatory changes in the wake of the financial crisis have made it more expensive for banks and other traditional lenders to hold certain illiquid and complex assets, notwithstanding the fact that these assets may have prudent credit characteristics. The repressed demand for these asset classes has provided opportunities for investors to acquire high-quality assets that offer attractive returns. For example, we see continuing opportunities as banks retreat from direct mortgage lending, structured and asset-backed products, and middle-market commercial loans. We intend to maintain a flexible approach to asset allocation, which will allow us to act quickly on similar opportunities that may arise in the future across a wide variety of asset types.

•Maintain Risk Management Discipline – Our risk management strategy is to proactively manage our exposure to risks associated with interest rate duration, credit risk and structural complexity of our invested assets. We address interest rate duration and liquidity risks by managing the duration of the liabilities we source with the assets we acquire through asset liability management (ALM) modeling. We assess credit risk by modeling our liquidity and capital under a range of stress scenarios. We manage the risks related to the structural complexity of our invested assets through Apollo’s modeling efforts. The goal of our risk management discipline is to be able to continue to grow and achieve profitable results across various market environments. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for additional information.

2 Life and other primarily includes premium from whole life block reinsurance transactions in 2023 and 2025 as well as deposits from guaranteed investment contracts in 2025.

Gross premiums and deposits are comprised of all products’ deposits, which generally are not included in revenues on the consolidated statements of income, and premiums collected. Gross premiums and deposits include directly written business, flow reinsurance assumed, as well as premiums and deposits generated from assumed block reinsurance transactions, net of those ceded through reinsurance to third-party reinsurers. Organic and inorganic inflows do not correspond to the gross premiums and deposits presented above as gross premiums and deposits include renewal deposits and annuitizations, as well as premiums and deposits from certain legacy life and other products, all of which are not included in our organic inflows.

Net reserve liabilities represent our policyholder liability obligations, including liabilities assumed through reinsurance and net of liabilities ceded through reinsurance. Net reserve liabilities include interest sensitive contract liabilities, future policy benefits, net market risk benefits, long-term repurchase obligations, dividends payable to policyholders and other policy claims and benefits, offset by reinsurance recoverable, excluding policy loans ceded. Net reserve liabilities include our proportionate share of ACRA reserve liabilities, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interests. Net reserve liabilities include the reserves assumed through modified coinsurance (modco) agreements to encompass the liabilities for which costs are being recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Net reserve liabilities are net of the ceded liabilities to third-party reinsurers as the costs of those liabilities are passed to such reinsurers and, therefore, we have no net economic exposure to such liabilities, assuming our reinsurance counterparties perform under our agreements.

Annuities

Fixed Rate Annuities – Fixed rate annuities include annual reset annuities and multi-year guarantee annuities (MYGA). Fixed rate annuities earn interest at a set rate (or declared crediting rate), rather than at a rate that may vary based on an index. Fixed rate annual reset annuities have a crediting rate that is typically guaranteed for one year. After such period, we have the ability to change the crediting rate at our discretion, generally once annually, to any rate at or above a guaranteed minimum rate. MYGAs are similar to annual reset annuities except that the initial crediting rate is guaranteed for a specified number of years, rather than just one year, before it may be changed at our discretion. After the initial crediting period, MYGAs can generally be reset annually.

Fixed Indexed Annuities – FIAs are the largest percentage of our net reserve liabilities. FIAs are a type of insurance contract in which the policyholder makes one or more premium deposits that earn interest, on a tax deferred basis, at a crediting rate based on a specified market index, subject to a contractually specified cap, spread or participation rate. FIAs allow policyholders the possibility of earning interest without significant risk to principal, unless the contract is surrendered during a surrender charge period. A market index tracks the performance of a specific group of stocks or other assets representing a particular segment of the market, or in some cases, an entire market. We generally buy options on the indices to which the FIAs are tied to hedge the associated market risk. The cost of the option is priced into the overall economics of the product as an option budget.

Registered Index-Linked Annuities (RILA) – RILAs are similar to FIAs in offering the policyholder the opportunity for tax-deferred growth based in part on the performance of a market index. Compared to an FIA, RILAs have the potential for higher returns but also have the potential for risk of loss to principal and related earnings. RILAs provide the ability for the policyholder to participate in the positive performance of certain market indices during a term, limited by a contractually specified cap or adjusted for a contractually specified participation rate. Negative performance of the market indices during a term can result in negative policyholder returns, with contractually specified downside protection typically provided in the form of either a “buffer” or a “floor” to limit the policyholder’s exposure to market loss. A “buffer” is protection from negative exposure up to a certain percentage, such as 10 or 20 percent. A “floor” is protection from negative exposure less than a stated percentage (i.e., the policyholder risks exposure of loss up to the “floor,” but is protected against any loss in excess of this amount).

Payout Annuities – Payout annuities primarily consist of single premium immediate annuities (SPIA), supplemental contracts and structured settlements. Payout annuities provide a series of periodic payments for a fixed period of time or for the life of the policyholder, based upon the policyholder’s election at the time of issuance. The amounts, frequency and length of time of the payments are fixed at the outset of the annuity contract. SPIAs are often purchased by persons at or near retirement age who desire a steady stream of payments over a future period of years. Supplemental contracts are typically created upon the conversion of a death claim or the annuitization of a deferred annuity. Structured settlements generally relate to legal settlements.

We generate income on fixed rate, indexed and payout annuity products by earning an investment spread, based on the difference between (1) income earned on the investments supporting the liabilities and (2) the cost of funds, including fixed interest credited to customers, option costs on indexed products, the cost of providing guarantees (net of rider fees) and policy issuance, maintenance and distribution costs.

Private Placement Variable Annuities (PPVA) – PPVAs are not registered with the SEC and currently are only offered by private placement to purchasers meeting the requirements as a qualified purchaser and/or an accredited investor under applicable federal securities laws. Variable annuities allow policyholders to participate directly in the investment experience of the underlying investment vehicles offered through the product. In a variable annuity, the policyholder assumes the full investment risk of the investment options chosen. The product allows the policyholder to allocate their money to a variety of variable separate account divisions that invest in a suite of underlying investment options and the potential to accumulate cash value on a tax-deferred basis. Our PPVA products provide access to a suite of Apollo managed funds and other product offerings with no surrender charges and no guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) or guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) features. We generate income on our PPVA products by collecting a fee that is a function of the policyholder’s account value.

Income Riders to Fixed Annuity Products

The income riders on our deferred annuities can be broadly categorized as either guaranteed or participating. Guaranteed income riders provide policyholders with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, which permits policyholders to elect to receive guaranteed payments for life from their contract without having to annuitize their policies. Participating income riders tend to have lower levels of guaranteed income than guaranteed income riders but provide policyholders the opportunity to receive greater levels of income if the policies’ indexed crediting strategies perform well.

Income riders, particularly on FIAs, have become popular among policyholders. The Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA) estimates that approximately 16% of fixed annuity premium in the US for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the most recent period that specific market share data is currently available) included an income rider. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 24% of our deferred annuity account value contained rider benefits. This includes annuities with income riders sourced through retail and reinsurance operations, as well as acquisitions. Of the deferred annuities sourced through our retail and flow reinsurance channels, for the year ended December 31, 2025, 1% contained participating income riders and 13% contained guaranteed income riders.

Withdrawal Options for Deferred Annuities

After the first year following the issuance of a deferred annuity, the policyholder is typically permitted to make withdrawals up to 5% or 10% (depending on the contract) of the prior year’s value without a surrender charge or market value adjustment (MVA), subject to certain limitations. Withdrawals in excess of the allowable amounts are assessed a surrender charge and MVA if such withdrawals are made during the surrender charge period of the policy, which generally ranges from 3 to 20 years. The surrender charge for most of our products at contract inception is generally between 7% and 15% of the contract value and typically decreases by approximately half a percentage point to one percentage point per year during the surrender charge period. The weighted average base surrender charge (excluding the impact of MVAs) was 6% for our deferred annuities as of December 31, 2025.

At maturity, the policyholder may elect to receive proceeds in the form of a single payment or an annuity. If the annuity option is selected, the policyholder will receive a series of payments over the policyholder’s lifetime or over a fixed number of years, depending upon the terms of the contract. Some contracts permit annuitization prior to maturity.

Group Annuities

Group annuities issued in connection with pension group annuity transactions usually involve a single premium group annuity contract issued to discharge certain pension plan liabilities. The group annuities that we issue are nonparticipating contracts. The assets supporting the guaranteed benefits for each contract may be held in a separate account. Group annuity benefits may be purchased for current, retired and/or terminated employees and their beneficiaries covered under terminating or continuing pension plans. Both immediate and deferred annuity certificates may be issued pursuant to a single group annuity contract. Immediate annuity certificates cover those retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving payments, whereas deferred annuity certificates cover those participants who have not yet begun receiving benefit payments. Immediate annuity certificates have no cash surrender rights, whereas deferred annuity certificates may include an election to receive a lump sum payment, exercisable by the participant upon either the participant achieving a specified age or the occurrence of a specified event, such as termination of the participant’s employment.

A pension group annuity transaction may be structured as a buyout or buy-in transaction. A buyout transaction involves the issuance by an insurer of a group annuity contract to the plan sponsor and individual annuity certificates to each plan participant, resulting in the transfer of the contractual obligation to pay pension benefits from the plan sponsor to the insurer. A buyout transaction may be a full buyout or a partial buyout. A pension group annuity transaction structured as a buy-in includes an option to convert to buyout at the election of the plan sponsor, or the option to be surrendered at the election of the plan sponsor, subject to certain conditions that may reflect both a market value adjustment and a surrender charge, resulting in a refund in an amount determined in accordance with the group annuity contract. Generally, a buy-in structure is selected when the plan sponsor seeks to eliminate risk but is not yet prepared to terminate the plan or recognize any adverse accounting impact that may accompany a plan termination. During the buy-in phase, the group annuity contract represents an asset of the plan sponsor with no annuity certificates issued to the plan participants unless and until an election is made under the contract to convert to a buyout.

We earn income on group annuities based upon the spread between the return on the assets received in connection with the pension group annuity transaction and the cost of the pension obligations assumed. Group annuities expose us to longevity risk, which would be realized if plan participants live longer than assumed in underwriting the transaction, resulting in aggregate payments that exceed our expectations. However, our conservative underwriting process makes use of a wealth of reliable pre- and post-selection participant data, including mortality experience data, particularly for mid- to large-sized transactions, to mitigate this risk.

Group fixed indexed annuities are issued as part of Vitera’s guaranteed lifetime income solution for defined contribution plans. This involves the use of a target date fund, which can serve as a defined contribution plan’s qualified default investment alternative. The target date fund provides guaranteed lifetime income by purchasing group fixed indexed annuities with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits that we issue to the target date fund. The fixed indexed annuities are an asset class within the target date fund’s asset allocation. The allocation to fixed indexed annuities begins, on average, at age 47 for each vintage of the target date fund and gradually increases with incremental purchases of group fixed indexed annuities to provide a pre-defined level of guaranteed income starting at age 65.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

We generate income on group fixed indexed annuity products distributed to defined contribution target date funds in a similar manner to our fixed indexed annuities sold through the retail distribution channel. Specifically, we earn an investment spread, based on the difference between (1) income earned on the investments supporting the liabilities and (2) the cost of funds, including option costs, the cost of providing guarantees and institutional policy issuance, maintenance and distribution costs.

Funding Agreements

We issue funding agreements opportunistically to institutional investors at attractive risk-adjusted funding costs. They are designed to provide an agreement holder with a guaranteed return of principal and periodic interest payments, while offering competitive yields and predictable returns. The interest rate can be fixed or floating. If the interest rate is a floating rate, it may be linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the federal funds rate or another major index. We also include repurchase agreements with a term that exceeds one year at the time of execution within the funding agreement product category.

Life and Other

Life and other products include life insurance policies assumed through reinsurance transactions, guaranteed investment contracts issued in connection with defined contribution plans, other retail products, including legacy run-off or ceded business, and statutory closed blocks.

Guaranteed investment contracts are designed similar to funding agreements, where the contract holder is guaranteed a return of principal plus interest.

Distribution Channels

We have developed four dedicated distribution channels to address the retirement services market: retail, flow reinsurance, institutional, and acquisitions and block reinsurance, which support opportunistic origination across different market environments. Additionally, we believe these distribution channels enable us to achieve stable asset growth while maintaining attractive returns.

We are diligent in setting our return targets based on market conditions and risks inherent in the products we offer, as well as in the acquisition or block reinsurance transactions we pursue. Generally, we target mid-teen returns for sources of organic growth and mid-teen or higher returns for sources of inorganic growth. However, specific return targets are established with due consideration to the facts and circumstances surrounding each growth opportunity and may be higher or lower than those that we target more generally. Factors that we consider in establishing return targets for a given growth opportunity include, but are not limited to, the certainty of the return profile, the strategic nature of the opportunity, the size and scale of the opportunity, the alignment and fit of the opportunity with our existing business, the opportunity for risk diversification and the existence of increased opportunities for higher returns or growth. If market conditions or risks inherent in a product or transaction create return profiles that are not acceptable to us, we generally will not sacrifice our profitability merely to facilitate growth.

Retail

We have built a scalable platform that allows us to originate and rapidly grow our business in deferred annuity products. We have developed a suite of retirement savings products, distributed through our network of 41 IMOs, 18 banks and 163 broker-dealers, collectively representing approximately 152,000 independent agents in all 50 states. Additionally, we distribute structured settlements through our network of specialized structured settlement annuity brokers. We are focused in every aspect of our retail channel on providing high quality products and service to our policyholders and maintaining appropriate financial protection over the life of their policies.

Flow Reinsurance

Flow reinsurance provides another channel for us to source liabilities with attractive crediting rates and offers insurance companies the opportunity to improve their product offerings and enhance their financial results. As in the retail channel, we do not pursue flow volume growth at the expense of profitability and will respond rapidly to adjust pricing for changes in asset yields.

Reinsurance is an arrangement under which an insurance company, the reinsurer, agrees to indemnify another insurance company, the ceding company or cedant, for all or a portion of certain insurance risks underwritten by the ceding company. Reinsurance is designed to (1) reduce the net amount at risk on individual risks, thereby enabling the ceding company to increase the volume of business it can underwrite, as well as increase the maximum risk it can underwrite on a single risk, (2) stabilize operating results by reducing volatility in the ceding company’s loss experience, (3) assist the ceding company in meeting applicable regulatory requirements and (4) enhance the ceding company’s financial strength and surplus position.

Within our flow reinsurance channel, we conduct third-party flow reinsurance transactions through our insurance subsidiaries. Flow reinsurance also includes recurring premium from block reinsurance transactions. As a reinsurer, we partner with insurance companies to develop solutions to their capital requirements, enhance their presence in the retirement market and improve their financial results. We target reinsuring spread-based liabilities which can include FIAs, MYGAs, traditional one-year guarantee fixed deferred annuities, immediate annuities, whole life insurance, universal life insurance, indexed universal life insurance and institutional products.

Institutional

Our institutional channel includes funding agreements, guaranteed investment contracts, pension group annuity transactions and group fixed indexed annuities issued in connection with defined contribution plans.

Funding Agreements

Funding agreements are comprised of funding agreements issued under our FABN program, secured and other funding agreements, which include our FABR program and direct funding agreements, funding agreements issued to the FHLB and long-term repurchase agreements. We have an FABN program, which allows Athene Global Funding, a special-purpose, unaffiliated statutory trust to offer its senior secured medium-term notes. The notes are underwritten and marketed by major investment banks’ broker-dealer operations and are sold to institutional investors. Athene Global Funding uses the net proceeds from each sale to purchase one or more funding agreements from us with matching interest and maturity payment terms. We also established a secured FABR program in which a special-purpose, unaffiliated entity enters into a repurchase agreement with a bank and the proceeds of the repurchase agreement are used by the special-purpose entity to purchase funding agreements from us. In addition to the funding agreements issued to special-purpose unaffiliated trusts or other unaffiliated entities, we engage in direct issuances with various institutions. Additionally, we are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and, through membership, we have issued funding agreements to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances. We are required to provide collateral in excess of the funding agreement amounts outstanding, considering any discounts to the securities posted and prepayment penalties. Long-term repurchase agreements with a term that exceeds one year at the time of execution are also included within the funding agreement product category.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts

Guaranteed investment contracts are marketed to stable value fund managers to support stable value investment options within defined contribution plans.

Pension Group Annuities

We partner with institutions seeking to transfer and thereby reduce their obligation to pay future pension benefits to retirees and deferred participants through pension group annuities. We work with advisors, brokers and consultants to source pension group annuity transactions and design solutions that meet the needs of prospective pension group annuity counterparties and their participants, with a focus on medium- and large-sized deals involving retirees and/or deferred participants that are structured as either a buyout or a buy-in transaction. Since entering the pension group annuity market in 2017, we have closed 50 deals resulting in the issuance or reinsurance of group annuities of $53.4 billion with more than 528,000 plan participants as of December 31, 2025.

We believe we have established ourselves as a trusted and market-leading pension group annuity solutions provider and expect that our experience in crafting customized pension group annuity solutions and our improving credit profile will enable us to continue to source and execute pension group annuity transactions. We have the ability to design tailored solutions that meet the needs of our pension group annuity counterparties, which include a range of blue-chip clients and a number of repeat clients.

Group Fixed Indexed Annuities

Group fixed indexed annuities are issued as part of Vitera’s guaranteed lifetime income solution through a target date fund within defined contribution plans. The defined contribution market involves several stakeholders, including asset managers and plan record-keepers. Vitera partners with select asset managers and plan record-keepers to market the guaranteed lifetime income target date fund to institutions that sponsor defined contribution plans to have these institutions add the guaranteed lifetime income target fund to their fund offering with a particular focus in having the target date fund deemed as the qualified default investment alternative. Vitera also has direct outreach efforts to larger institutions to market the product.

Acquisitions and Block Reinsurance

Acquisitions are a complementary source of growth for our business. We have a proven ability to acquire businesses in complex transactions at favorable terms, manage the liabilities acquired and reinvest the associated assets.

Through block reinsurance transactions, we partner with life and annuity companies to decrease their exposure to one or more products or to divest of lower-margin or non-core segments of their businesses. Unlike acquisitions in which we acquire the assets or stock of a target company, block reinsurance allows us to contractually assume assets and liabilities associated with a certain book of business. In doing so, we contractually assume responsibility for only that portion of the business that we deem desirable, without assuming additional liabilities.

As we continue to expand into new markets and geographies, we have been disciplined in only retaining liabilities that are core to our strategy and competitive advantages. This can be accomplished through structural solutions, including mortality and longevity reinsurance. For example, in our most recent Japanese block reinsurance transactions in 2025 and 2023, we entered into an arrangement with a highly rated reinsurer to retrocede all the mortality risk associated with the whole life liability.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

We plan to continue leveraging our expertise in sourcing and evaluating transactions to profitably grow our business. We believe our demonstrated ability to source transactions, consummate complex transactions and reinvest assets into higher yielding investments, as well as our access to capital provide us with distinct advantages relative to other acquisition or block reinsurance candidates.

Investment Management

Investment activities are an integral part of our business, and our net investment income is a significant component of our total revenues. Our investment philosophy is to invest a portion of our assets in securities that earn an incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk and capitalize on our long-dated, persistent liability profile to prudently achieve higher net investment earned rates, rather than assuming incremental credit risk. A cornerstone of our investment philosophy is that given the operating leverage inherent in our business, modest investment outperformance can translate to outsized return performance. Because we maintain discipline in underwriting attractively priced liabilities, we have the ability to invest in a broad range of high-quality assets to generate attractive earnings.

Our differentiated investment strategy benefits from our relationship with Apollo, which provides a full suite of services for our investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisitions asset diligence, and certain operational support services including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Apollo provides portfolio management services for substantially all of our invested assets.

We are downside focused and our asset allocations reflect the results of stress testing analysis. Additionally, we establish risk thresholds which in turn define risk tolerance across a wide range of factors, including credit risk, liquidity risk, concentration risk and caps on specific asset classes. In addition to other efforts, we manage the risk of rising interest rates by strategically allocating a meaningful portion of our investment portfolio into floating rate securities.

Apollo’s investment team and credit portfolio managers employ their deep experience to assist us in sourcing and underwriting complex asset classes. Apollo has selected a diverse array of corporate bonds and more structured, but highly rated, asset classes. We also maintain holdings in floating rate and less interest rate-sensitive investments, including CLOs, non-agency RMBS and various types of structured products. These asset classes permit us to earn incremental yield by assuming liquidity and complexity risk, rather than assuming incremental credit risk.

Apollo sources assets for our investment portfolio based upon the unique characteristics of our business, including desired asset allocation and risk tolerance, and with regard to the ever-changing macroeconomic environment in which we operate. In recent years, we and Apollo have recognized that a heightened demand for investment grade marketable securities has placed substantial downward pressure on credit spreads of such securities, which adversely impacts the returns we are able to achieve on new investment purchases. Rather than increase our allocation to higher risk securities to increase yield, we pursue the direct origination of high-quality, predominantly senior secured assets, which we believe possess greater alpha-generating qualities than securities that would otherwise be readily available in public markets. These direct origination strategies include investments sourced by (1) affiliated platforms that originate loans to third parties and in which we gain exposure directly to the loan or indirectly through our ownership of the origination platform and/or securitizations of assets originated by the origination platform, and (2) Apollo’s extensive network of direct relationships with predominantly investment-grade counterparties.

We believe that a greater focus on these direct origination strategies affords us both quantitative and qualitative advantages, including eliminating the cost of intermediaries, recognizing an origination premium, having direct access to diligence and having greater control over the terms of the investment. Furthermore, we believe these direct origination strategies will often provide us with the flexibility to choose the location in the capital structure in which we invest, affording us the opportunity to select the risk/return profile that we deem optimal and limit our exposure to assets with sub-optimal risk/return characteristics. Employing these direct origination strategies comports well with our investment philosophy of earning incremental spread by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk, rather than taking excessive credit risk.

As part of our direct origination strategy, we may invest in two types of equity investments. First, we make investments in the equity of asset origination platforms themselves. Second, we retain equity risk alongside our investments in investment grade tranches of the assets that Apollo directly originates. We typically refer to both of these types of equity investments as ‘alternatives.’ In 2022, we contributed certain of our net alternative investments to Apollo Aligned Alternatives Aggregator, L.P. (AAA), a consolidated variable interest entity (VIE), in exchange for limited partnership interests in the fund. In 2025, a portion of our investments in AAA were converted to investments in Apollo Aligned Alternatives Lux Aggregator, L.P. (AAA Lux), a consolidated VIE with alternative investments designed primarily for foreign investors. Apollo established AAA and AAA Lux for the purpose of providing a vehicle through which we and third-party investors, including foreign investors, can participate in a portfolio of alternative investments. AAA and AAA Lux enhance Apollo’s ability to increase alternative assets under management (AUM) while also allowing us to achieve greater scale and diversification for alternatives.

We and Apollo have made and are continuing to make significant investments in establishing a portfolio of asset origination platforms and investment teams across a variety of asset classes. In connection with this effort, we have made and are expected to continue to make investments in certain direct origination platforms. These investments may take the form of debt and/or equity and align with our investment strategy as it relates to alternative investments. Certain of the asset origination platforms in which we have invested and/or have sourced directly originated assets in the past or may source directly originated assets in the future are set forth below.

We opportunistically allocate approximately 5% of our portfolio to alternative investments where we primarily focus on fixed income-like, cash flow-based investments. Individual alternative investments are selected based on the investment’s risk-reward profile, incremental effect on diversification and potential for attractive returns due to sector and/or market dislocations. We have a strong preference for alternative investments that have some or all of the following characteristics, among others: (1) investments with credit- or debt-like characteristics (for example, a stipulated maturity and par value), or alternatively, investments with reduced volatility when compared to pure equity; or (2) investments that we believe have less downside risk. In general, we target returns for alternative investments of 10% or higher on an internal rate of return basis over the expected lives of such investments.

Our investment portfolio is managed within the limits and protocols set forth in our Investment and Credit Risk Policy. Under this policy, we set limits on investments in our portfolio by asset class, such as corporate bonds, emerging markets securities, municipal bonds, non-agency RMBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), CLOs, commercial mortgage whole loans and mezzanine loans and investment funds. We also set credit risk limits for exposure to a single issuer, which vary based on the issuer’s ratings. Our strategic investments are also governed by our Strategic Investment Risk Policy which provides for special governance and risk management procedures for these transactions. In addition, our investment portfolio is constrained by its scenario-based capital ratio limits and its liquidity limits.

Capital

We believe we have a strong capital position and are well positioned to meet policyholder and other obligations. We measure capital sufficiency using various internal capital metrics which reflect management’s view on the various risks inherent to our business, the amount of capital required to support our core operating strategies and the amount of capital necessary to maintain our current ratings in a recessionary environment. The amount of capital required to support our core operating strategies is determined based upon internal modeling and analysis of economic risk, as well as inputs from rating agency capital models and consideration of both National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) risk-based capital (RBC) and Bermuda capital requirements. Capital in excess of this required amount is considered excess equity capital, which is available to deploy.

As discussed previously in –Growth Strategy, we seek to achieve profitable growth by executing on our growth strategy, which requires that we have access to adequate amounts of capital. Our deployable capital and uses thereof are set forth below.

Deployable Capital

Our deployable capital is comprised of capital from three sources: excess equity capital, untapped leverage capacity and available undrawn capital commitments from ACRA. As of December 31, 2025, we estimate that we had approximately $8.6 billion in capital available to deploy, consisting of approximately $3.2 billion in excess equity capital, $2.6 billion in untapped leverage capacity, and $2.8 billion in available undrawn capital at ACRA. We determine our untapped leverage capacity by comparing our leverage ratio and adjusted leverage ratio, which were 36.4% and 24.4%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, against our estimated maximum adjusted leverage ratio of 30%, subject to maintaining a sufficient level of capital required to maintain our desired financial strength ratings from rating agencies.

ACRA

To support growth strategies and capital deployment opportunities, we established ACRA 1 as a long-duration, on-demand capital vehicle. Athene Life Re Ltd. (ALRe) directly owns 37% of the economic interests in ACRA 1 and all of ACRA 1’s voting interests, with Apollo/Athene Dedicated Investment Program (ADIP I), a series of funds managed by Apollo, owning the remaining 63% of the economic interests. During the commitment period, ACRA 1 participated in certain transactions by drawing a portion of the required capital for such transactions from third-party investors equal to ADIP I’s proportionate economic interests in ACRA 1. The commitment period for ACRA 1 expired in August 2023.

To further support our growth and capital deployment opportunities following the deployment of capital by ACRA 1, we funded ACRA 2 in December 2022 as another long-duration, on-demand capital vehicle. ALRe directly owns 37% of the economic interests in ACRA 2 and all of ACRA 2’s voting interests, with Apollo/Athene Dedicated Investment Program II (ADIP II), a fund managed by Apollo, owning the remaining 63% of the economic interests. ACRA 2 participates in certain transactions by drawing a portion of the required capital for such transactions from third-party investors equal to ADIP II’s proportionate economic interests in ACRA 2.

These strategic capital solutions allow us the flexibility to simultaneously deploy capital across multiple accretive avenues and sustain our profitable growth strategy at scale in a capital efficient manner, while maintaining a strong financial position.

In connection with each transaction in which an ACRA entity elects to participate (each, a Participating Transaction), such ACRA entity will generally pay ALRe a fee (Wrap Fee) on the reserves of the assumed or acquired business. The Wrap Fee is expected to be approximately 15 basis points per year, based on a scale which increases from 10 to 16 basis points as the portion of the reserves economically attributed to the applicable ADIP fund increases.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

In general, (a) on or about the 10th anniversary of the effective date of any Participating Transaction (other than a flow reinsurance transaction) or (b) on or about the 10th anniversary of the date on which reinsurance is terminated as to new business under any Participating Transaction that is a flow reinsurance transaction (which would occur no later than the end of the commitment period), ALRe or its applicable affiliate has the right (Commutation Right) to terminate the applicable ACRA entity’s participation in such Participating Transaction based on a book value pricing mechanism and subject to the ability of the applicable ADIP fund to reject the commutation if a minimum return with respect to such Participating Transaction is not achieved. If ALRe does not exercise the Commutation Right with respect to a Participating Transaction, then the applicable ACRA entity’s obligation to pay the Wrap Fee in connection with such Participating Transaction will terminate, and, subject to certain exceptions (and the applicable terms and conditions of the applicable ACRA Framework Agreement and related transaction documents), ALRe will be required to pay such ACRA entity a fee calculated in the same manner as the Wrap Fee. In addition, if the applicable ACRA entity fails to satisfy minimum aggregate capital requirements, ALRe has the right to recapture or assign to another of our subsidiaries a portion of the business retroceded to such ACRA entity (and/or any of its insurance or reinsurance subsidiaries) to the extent necessary to cure such failure.

As of December 31, 2025, ALRe, Athene Life Re International Ltd. (ALReI) and Athene Annuity Re Ltd. (AARe) had retroceded to ACRA $142.1 billion of reserve liabilities. In connection with future Participating Transactions, ACRA 2 will draw from ADIP II and ALRe their respective share of the amount of capital necessary to consummate such Participating Transactions. The terms of any Participating Transaction may vary from the terms described above.

As of December 31, 2025, ADIP II raised approximately $6.0 billion in capital commitments, of which $2.8 billion was available to deploy into future transactions. As of December 31, 2025, there were no remaining ADIP I capital commitments available to deploy.

Uses of Capital

Capital deployment includes the payment for a business opportunity, such as the payment of a ceding commission to enter into a block reinsurance transaction, and the retention of capital based on our internal capital model. Currently, we deploy capital in four primary ways: (1) supporting organic growth, (2) supporting inorganic growth, (3) making dividend payments to AGM, and (4) retaining capital to support financial strength ratings upgrades. We generally seek mid-teen or higher returns on our capital deployment.

Reinsurance

Internal Ceded Reinsurance

Subject to quota shares generally ranging from 80% to 100%, substantially all of the existing deposits held and new deposits generated by our US insurance subsidiaries are reinsured to our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries. We maintain the same policyholder benefit reserves under Bermuda statutory reserves as we do under US statutory reserves. We also retrocede certain organic and inorganic business to ACRA. Our internal reinsurance structure provides us with several strategic and operational advantages, including the aggregation of regulatory capital, which makes the aggregate capital of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries available to support the risks assumed by each entity, and enhanced operating efficiencies. As a result of our internal reinsurance structure and third-party direct to Bermuda business, a significant majority of our aggregate capital is held by our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries.

We use two principal forms of internal reinsurance arrangements, modco and coinsurance on a funds withheld basis (funds withheld). Under modco, the reinsured reserves are retained by the US cedant, whereas under funds withheld, the Bermuda reinsurer is required to establish reserves for the obligations ceded. Under both modco and funds withheld, the Bermuda reinsurer holds capital against the reserves and the US cedant retains physical possession and legal ownership of the assets supporting the reserves. The profit and loss with respect to the obligations ceded flow from the US cedant to the Bermuda reinsurer through periodic net settlements. Generally, our modco and funds withheld agreements require the US cedant to establish a segregated account in which the assets supporting the ceded obligations are maintained. The US cedant is authorized under the respective agreement to make payments on the ceded obligations directly from the segregated account. The assets maintained in the segregated account are valued at US statutory carrying value for purposes of determining settlement amounts. Under the respective agreements, the US cedants have an obligation to make payments to the Bermuda reinsurers to the extent that the statutory carrying value of the assets maintained in the applicable segregated account exceeds 100% of the reserves maintained in respect of the reinsured business, and the Bermuda reinsurers have an obligation to make payments to the US cedants to the extent that the statutory carrying value of the assets maintained in the applicable segregated account is less than 100% of the reserves maintained in respect of the reinsured business.

Third-Party Ceded Reinsurance

In addition, from time to time, we may opportunistically cede certain business from our US insurance subsidiaries, or Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries, to third party reinsurers, to generate capital and/or limit our exposure to certain risks.

Item 1. Business

Outsourcing

With regard to our US business, we outsource some portion or all of each of the following functions to third-party service providers:

•hosting of financial systems;

•policy administration of existing policies;

•custody;

•information technology development and maintenance; and

•investment management.

We closely monitor our outsourcing partners and integrate their services into our operations. We believe that outsourcing such functions allows us to focus capital and our employees on our core business operations and perform higher utility functions, such as actuarial, product development and risk management. In addition, we believe an outsourcing model provides predictable pricing and service levels and operational flexibility while further allowing us to benefit from technological developments that enhance our capabilities, each in a manner that we would not otherwise be able to achieve without investing more of our own capital. We believe we have a good relationship with our principal outsource service providers.

Ratings

As of December 31, 2025, each of our significant insurance subsidiaries is rated “A+” or “A1” by the four rating agencies that evaluate the financial strength of such subsidiaries. To achieve our financial strength ratings aspirations, we may choose to retain additional capital above the level required by the rating agencies to support our operating needs. We believe there are numerous benefits to achieving stronger ratings over time, including increased recognition of and confidence in our financial strength by prospective business partners, particularly within product distribution, as well as potential profitability improvements in certain organic channels through lower funding costs.

Financial strength and credit ratings directly affect our ability to access funding and the related cost of borrowing, the attractiveness of certain products of ours to customers, our attractiveness as a reinsurer to potential ceding companies and the requirements for collateral posting on our derivatives. These ratings are periodically reviewed by the rating agencies.

Credit ratings represent the opinions of rating agencies regarding an entity’s ability to repay its indebtedness. Financial strength ratings represent the opinions of rating agencies regarding the financial ability of an insurer or reinsurer to meet its obligations under an insurance policy or reinsurance arrangement and generally involve quantitative and qualitative evaluations by rating agencies of a company’s financial condition and operating performance. Generally, rating agencies base their financial strength ratings upon information furnished to them by the respective company and upon their own investigations, studies and assumptions. Financial strength ratings are based upon factors of concern to policyholders, agents, intermediaries and ceding companies and are not directed toward the protection of investors. Credit and financial strength ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities and they may be revised or revoked at any time at the sole discretion of the rating organization.

As of February 23, 2026, A.M. Best Company, Inc. (A.M. Best), S&P Global, Inc. (S&P), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch) and Moody’s Ratings, Inc. (Moody’s) had issued credit or financial strength ratings and outlook statements regarding us as follows:

1 A.M. Best’s financial strength rating is an independent opinion of an insurer’s financial strength and ability to meet its ongoing insurance policy and contract obligations. A.M. Best’s financial strength rating categories from “A+” to “C” include a ratings notch to reflect a gradation of financial strength within the category. Ratings notches for A.M. Best’s financial strength rating are expressed with either a second plus “+” or a minus “-”. A.M. Best’s long-term issuer credit rating is an opinion of an entity’s ability to meet its ongoing senior financial obligations. A.M. Best’s long-term issuer credit rating categories from “aa” to “ccc” include rating notches to reflect a gradation within the category to indicate whether credit quality is near the top or bottom of a particular rating category. Rating notches for A.M. Best’s long-term issuer credit rating are expressed with a plus “+” or a minus “-”.

2 S&P’s insurer financial strength rating is a forward-looking opinion about the financial security characteristics of an insurance organization with respect to its ability to pay under its insurance policies and contracts in accordance with their terms. S&P’s issuer credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about an obligor’s overall creditworthiness. This opinion focuses on the obligor’s capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due. Long-term issuer credit ratings focus on the obligor’s capacity and willingness to meet all of its financial commitments, both long- and short-term, as they come due. A plus “+” or a minus “-” indicates relative standing within a rating category.

3 Fitch’s insurer financial strength ratings provide an assessment of the financial strength of an insurance organization. The insurer financial strength rating is assigned to the insurance company’s policyholder obligations, including assumed reinsurance obligations and contract holder obligations, such as guaranteed investment contracts. The insurer financial strength rating reflects both the ability of the insurer to meet these obligations on a timely basis and expected recoveries received by claimants in the event the insurer stops making payments or payments are interrupted, due to either the failure of the insurer or some form of regulatory intervention. Fitch’s issuer default ratings opine on an entity’s relative vulnerability to default on financial obligations. The threshold default risk addressed by issuer default ratings is generally that of financial obligations whose non-payment would best reflect the uncured failure of that entity. As such, issuer default ratings also address relative vulnerability to bankruptcy, administrative receivership or similar concepts. A plus “+” or a minus “-” may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories.

4 Moody’s provides credit ratings that are publicly available serving the public debt capital markets. Moody’s insurance financial strength ratings range from “Aaa (highest quality)” to “C (lowest)”. Numeric modifiers are used to refer to the ranking within the group, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest. These modifiers are used to indicate relative strength within a category. Moody’s long-term credit ratings range from “Aaa” (highest) to “C” (default).

In addition to the financial strength ratings, rating agencies use an outlook statement to indicate a medium or long-term trend which, if continued, may lead to a rating change. A positive outlook indicates a rating may be raised and a negative outlook indicates a rating may be lowered. A stable outlook is assigned when ratings are not likely to be changed. Outlooks should not be confused with expected stability of the issuer’s financial or economic performance. A rating may have a stable outlook to indicate that the rating is not expected to change, but a stable outlook does not preclude a rating agency from changing a rating at any time without notice.

A.M. Best, S&P, Fitch and Moody’s review their ratings of insurance companies from time to time. There can be no assurance that any particular rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be changed or withdrawn entirely if the respective rating agency’s judgment or circumstances so warrant. Further, rating agencies may change their capital adequacy assessment methodologies in a manner that could adversely affect the financial strength ratings of insurance companies. While the degree to which ratings adjustments will affect sales and persistency is unknown, we believe if our ratings were to be negatively adjusted for any reason, we could experience a material decline in the sales of our products and the persistency of our existing business. See Item 1A. Risk Factors–Risks Relating to Our Business Operations–A financial strength rating downgrade, potential downgrade or any other negative action by a rating agency could make our product offerings less attractive, inhibit our ability to acquire future business through acquisitions or reinsurance and increase our cost of capital, which could have a material adverse effect on our business for further discussion about risks associated with financial strength ratings.

Competition

We face competition from a variety of large and small industry participants, including diversified financial institutions and insurance and reinsurance companies. These companies compete in one form or another for the growing pool of retirement assets driven by a number of external factors such as the continued aging of the population and the reduction in safety nets provided by governments and private employers. In the markets in which we operate, scale and the ability to provide value-added services and build long-term relationships are important factors to compete effectively. See Item 1A. Risk Factors–Risks Relating to Our Business Operations–We operate in a highly competitive industry that includes a number of competitors, which could limit our ability to achieve our growth strategies and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects for further discussion on competitive risks. We believe that our leading presence in the retirement services market, diverse range of capabilities and broad distribution network uniquely position us to effectively serve consumers’ increasing demand for retirement solutions.

We experience competition in the annuity market from traditional carriers and new entrants. Principal competitive factors for fixed annuities are initial crediting rates, reputation for renewal crediting action, product features, brand recognition, customer service, distribution capabilities and financial strength ratings of the provider. Competition may affect, among other matters, both business growth and the pricing of our products and services. See Item 7.–Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–US Industry Trends and Competition–Competition for a discussion of our ranking and market share within the total annuity, total fixed annuity, FIA and RILA markets.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

Reinsurance markets are highly competitive, as well as cyclical by product and market. Within the reinsurance market, we compete with other insurance and reinsurance companies based on many factors, including, among other things, financial strength, pricing and other terms and conditions of reinsurance agreements, reputation, service, and experience in the types of business underwritten. The impact of these and other factors is generally not consistent across lines of business, domestic and international geographical areas, and distribution channels.

We encounter strong competition within our institutional channel. With respect to funding agreements, namely those issued in connection with our FABN program, we compete with other insurers that have active FABN programs. Within the funding agreement market, we compete primarily on the basis of financial strength and interest rates. With respect to guaranteed investment contracts, we compete with other insurers that have an active guaranteed investment contract program primarily on the basis of interest rates. With respect to group annuities, we compete with other insurers that offer such annuities. Within the pension group annuities market, we compete primarily on the basis of participant security, price, underwriting, investment capabilities and our ability to provide quality service to the corporate sponsor’s pension participants. Within the group annuity market for defined contribution plans, we compete primarily on overall product features and design, brand recognition and financial strength ratings.

Finally, we experience competition in the market for acquisition targets and profitable blocks of insurance. Such competition has intensified as insurance businesses become more attractive acquisition targets for both other insurance companies and financial institutions and as the already substantial consolidation in the financial services industry continues. We compete for potential acquisition and block reinsurance opportunities based on a number of factors including perceived financial strength, brand recognition, reputation and the pricing we are able to offer, which, to the extent we determine to finance a transaction, is in turn dependent on our ability to do so on suitable terms. We have demonstrated patience in only pursuing transactions that meet our internal risk and return objectives. With the backdrop of increasing competition, we believe our demonstrated ability to source and consummate large and complex transactions and our inroads in other adjacent markets, including the Japanese savings market, is a competitive advantage over other potential acquirers.

Human Capital Management

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,970 employees, primarily located in the US. We believe our employee relations are good. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements, nor are we aware of any efforts to implement such agreements.

We are dedicated to fostering a culture that prioritizes teamwork, engagement, inclusivity and pride of ownership. We believe that when employees feel a sense of purpose and belonging, they are more engaged and motivated to contribute to the organization’s success. Our core values—Believe in Your Co-workers, Engage Actively, Act Like Owners, and Make It Happen (BEAM)—form the foundation of our culture. Developed by a team of employees, BEAM reflects our shared beliefs and inspires positive action both within our workplace and in the communities we serve.

Talent

Recruiting, developing and retaining top talent is essential to our success. We value each employee’s unique talents and skills and are committed to fostering their professional growth. By investing in employee development, we enhance our workforce’s value while ensuring our business remains competitive. We closely monitor turnover rates by function and actively implement strategies to retain key talent, including measures to defend against competitive attrition. To maintain a robust pipeline of leaders, we conduct annual succession planning to ensure preparedness for turnover, organizational growth, and promotional opportunities.

Employee satisfaction and engagement are critical metrics for us. We administer an annual engagement survey to gather feedback, which is reviewed by management and shared with employees. We use these insights to inform and adjust our business practices. High participation is encouraged to ensure the feedback is meaningful.

Our performance-based compensation philosophy rewards employees for their contributions to our success. We strive to provide strong, equitable incentives for performance. Compensation may be comprised of up to three elements: base compensation, which is determined based upon a number of factors, including size, scope and impact of the employee’s role, the market value associated with the employee’s role, leadership skills, length of service and individual performance; an annual incentive award, which if applicable, is a cash incentive award determined based on a combination of individual and company performance during the period to which the incentive award relates; and a long-term incentive award, which if applicable, is a stock-based award intended to compensate an employee for her or his contribution to our success and to align the interest of the award recipient with our interest during the vesting period of the award. We seek to determine compensation on the basis of merit and without regard to demographic characteristics.

Expanding Opportunity and Well-being

Expanding Opportunity reflects our commitment to fostering a work environment where everyone can thrive. We strive to build a culture in which every individual feels a sense of belonging and is valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work.

We focus on attracting a diverse workforce and providing our employees with opportunities for ongoing growth and career development. Merit is our guiding principle in hiring and promotion. In every search, we seek a broad pool of candidates and evaluate them through an objective, unbiased process. Ultimately, we select the individual best suited for the role.

We also recognize that well-being is fundamental to a thriving workplace. That is why we are dedicated to supporting the physical, emotional, social, and financial wellness of our employees, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to succeed both personally and professionally.

Athene Charitable Foundation

The Athene Charitable Foundation is deeply committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities where Athene employees live and work. Through hands-on volunteerism, strategic philanthropic giving, and purposeful community outreach, the Athene Charitable Foundation strives to create lasting, positive impact. Guided by four core pillars, education, human services, health and well-being, and environmental sustainability, the Athene Charitable Foundation’s efforts reflect a shared belief that strong communities are built when opportunity, compassion, and responsibility come together.

Regulation

A summary of certain of the laws, regulations and frameworks to which we are subject is set forth below.

Domestic Regulation Overview

Each of our US insurance subsidiaries, primarily AAIA and AANY, is organized and domiciled in either Iowa or New York (each, an Athene Domiciliary State) and also licensed in such state as an insurer.

The insurance department of each Athene Domiciliary State regulates the applicable US insurance subsidiary, and each US insurance subsidiary is regulated by each of the insurance regulators in the other states where such company is authorized to transact insurance business. The primary purpose of such regulatory supervision is to protect policyholders rather than holders of any securities. The extent of regulation varies by state, but generally, state insurance regulators have broad administrative powers over the business activities and financial aspects of our US insurance subsidiaries. This includes licensing producers who sell our products, regulating premium rates and approving policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, solvency standards, and minimum capital requirements, regulating the type, amounts, and valuations of permitted investments, examining the business conduct of licensed insurance companies, and other related matters.

From time to time, state legislatures have considered or enacted legislative measures that alter, and in many cases increase, regulation of insurers and reinsurers. Additionally, state insurance regulators are regularly involved in a process of reexamining existing laws and regulations and their application to insurance and reinsurance companies. The models for state laws and regulations often emanate from the NAIC. The NAIC is an organization, the mandate of which is to benefit state insurance regulatory authorities and consumers by promulgating model insurance laws and regulations for adoption by the states. The NAIC also provides standardized insurance industry accounting and reporting guidance. However, model insurance laws and regulations are only effective when adopted by the states, and statutory accounting and reporting principles continue to be established by individual state laws, regulations and permitted practices. Changes to NAIC guidance or modifications by the various state insurance departments may affect the statutory capital and surplus of our US insurance subsidiaries.

Furthermore, while the US federal government in most contexts currently does not directly regulate the insurance business, federal legislation and administrative policies in a number of areas, such as employee benefits and pension regulation, age, sex and disability-based discrimination, financial services regulation, securities regulation, derivatives regulation, privacy regulation and federal taxation, can significantly affect the insurance business. It is not possible to predict the future impact of changing regulation on our operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors–Risks Relating to Insurance and Other Regulatory Matters.

International Regulation Overview

Bermuda

The Bermuda regulatory regime has been deemed to be equivalent to the European Union (EU) Directive (2009/138/EC) (Solvency II). The Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 (Bermuda Insurance Act) regulates the insurance business of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries, and provides that no person may carry on any insurance business in or from within Bermuda unless registered as an insurer under such act by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The BMA is required by the Bermuda Insurance Act to determine whether an applicant is a fit and proper body to be engaged in the insurance business and, in particular, whether it has, or has available to it, adequate knowledge and expertise to operate an insurance business. See –Regulation of an Insurer’s Stockholders below.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

The continued registration of an insurer is subject to the insurer complying with the terms of its registration and such other conditions as the BMA may impose from time to time. The Bermuda Insurance Act also grants the BMA powers to supervise, investigate and intervene in the affairs of insurers. The Bermuda Insurance Act imposes on Bermuda insurers solvency standards, as well as auditing and reporting requirements.

Japan

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) of the Government of Japan is vested with extensive regulatory authority under the Insurance Business Act. This authority enables the FSA to establish rules, as well as to monitor, direct, and intervene in the operations and financial health of insurers, including life insurance companies. This oversight extends to insurers that either cede or contemplate ceding their flow or block business to our reinsurance subsidiaries in Bermuda or the US.

The Insurance Business Act permits offshore reinsurers to assume Japan-originated risks from abroad without the need for Japanese licensing or compliance with other regulatory requirements. As a result, our reinsurance subsidiaries, which currently reinsure flow or block business from Japanese ceding companies offshore, are not directly subject to the supervisory authority of the FSA. However, our reinsurance subsidiaries could be indirectly affected by the enforcement of the Insurance Business Act if our Japanese cedants, or the flow or block business they cede to us, encounter regulatory conditions significantly different from those in place at the time the relevant reinsurance agreements were executed (e.g., substantial changes in regulations or requirements related to the recognition of reinsurance credit or reinsurance-related risk charges in the solvency capital calculations for Japanese ceding companies).

UK Corporation Tax

Certain of our subsidiaries are treated as residents in the UK for UK tax purposes due to being centrally managed and controlled in the UK, and will each be treated as a fiscally opaque company from a UK tax perspective (collectively, UK Resident Companies). Our UK Resident Companies are generally subject to UK corporation tax on their respective worldwide profits. In practice, however, it is not expected that our UK Resident Companies will be liable to account for any material UK corporation tax on the basis that: (1) in the case of the UK Resident Companies that are holding companies, their income and gains should be primarily derived from their holding of shares in direct subsidiaries; and (2) in the case of the UK Resident Companies that are operating companies, the majority of profits will be attributable to their permanent establishments in Bermuda in respect of which “foreign branch exemption elections” (set out in s.18A Corporation Tax Act 2009) have been made. Any dividends received by our UK Resident Companies should be exempt from UK corporation tax and any gains arising to our UK Resident Companies on a disposal or deemed disposal of a subsidiary (including any potential future subsidiaries) should be exempt from UK corporation tax on chargeable gains as a result of the application of the UK substantial shareholding exemption set out in Schedule 7AC of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. The UK Resident Companies are not required to withhold tax when paying a dividend.

The UK Resident Companies, as UK tax residents, will remain subject to a number of specific UK tax regimes, including the controlled foreign company regime, the anti-hybrids and other mismatches regime, and the UK’s implementation of a multinational top-up tax (MTT). In practice, however (subject to a change in law, including as a result of implementing recommendations from the BEPS project) none of these specific regimes are expected to materially impact the UK tax position of the UK Resident Companies.

See Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Taxation - our structure involves complex provisions of tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. Our structure is also subject to ongoing future potential legislative, judicial or administrative change and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis and Changes in non-US tax law could adversely affect our ability to raise funds from certain investors.

Group Oversight and Capital Framework

Group Supervision

Many insurers, including us, operate within an insurance group structure. Under the Iowa Insurance Holding Company Act (Iowa HCA), an insurance group is defined as two or more affiliated persons, one or more of which is an insurer. As an insurer’s financial position and risk profile may be impacted by being part of a group US state and international regulators have developed group supervisory frameworks in order to provide regulators with the ability to scrutinize the activities of an insurance group and assess its potential impact on individual insurers within the group. The Iowa Insurance Division (IID) and the BMA are the lead regulators of our largest subsidiaries. Under Iowa HCA, the IID is our group supervisor. Separately, the BMA is the subgroup supervisor for our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries. Under the Iowa HCA, Apollo and its affiliates including other insurance entities in which Apollo holds an interest, are included within the holding company system for purposes of certain supervision requirements, (except as may be otherwise excluded through regulatory approval), even if such entities have no material relationship to us.

Our group supervisors may impose certain requirements on the insurance group, including to make provision for, among other things: (1) assessing the financial situation and the solvency position of the insurance group and/or its members; and (2) regulating intra-group transactions, risk concentration, governance procedures, risk management and regulatory reporting and disclosure. Many of these requirements have not yet been applied in substance to us or our affiliates or, to the extent they have been applied, remain subject to modification as part of larger prudential regulatory initiatives.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

Group Capital

The Iowa HCA requires, subject to certain exceptions, the ultimate controlling person of every insurer subject to the holding company registration requirement to file an annual group capital calculation (GCC) with its lead state on a confidential basis. The GCC is a tool that was developed by the NAIC to provide US insurance regulators with a method to aggregate the available capital and the minimum capital of each entity in a group in a manner that applies to groups meeting certain criteria regardless of their structure. The Iowa HCA also requires the ultimate controlling person for certain large US life insurers and insurance groups to file the results of a liquidity stress test (LST) annually with the lead state regulator of the insurance group. Under the Bermuda rules, our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries are required to file with the BMA group audited financial statements prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and an annual group capital and solvency return, which includes the Group Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (BSCR) model showing the Group’s Enhanced Capital Requirement (ECR), within five months after the financial year-end. These regulatory requirements may over time increase the amount of capital that we are required to hold and could result in our being subject to increased regulatory requirements.

Internationally Active Insurance Groups and the Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups

At the end of 2019, the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) adopted the Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups (ComFrame), which will apply for all large internationally active insurance groups (IAIGs) that meet the IAIS’ criteria and are designated as an IAIG by their group-wide supervisor. ComFrame includes uniform standards for insurer corporate governance, enterprise risk management and other control functions and resolution planning, including a group capital requirement that applies in addition to any other legal entity and group capital requirements imposed by relevant insurance laws and regulations. The IID identified itself as the Group-Wide Supervisor for AGM (in a distinct capacity from its role as group supervisor for AHL). In February 2024, the IID identified AGM as meeting the criteria as an IAIG and further identified AHL as the Head of the IAIG. As a result of these identifications, AHL will be subject to the relevant capital standard that the US applies to IAIGs. At this time, we do not expect a significant impact on AHL’s capital position or capital structure; however, we cannot fully predict with certainty the impact (if any) on AHL’s capital position or capital structure and any other burdens being named an IAIG may impose on AHL or its insurance affiliates.

Insurance Holding Company Regulation

Under the insurance holding company laws of each of the Athene Domiciliary States, our insurance subsidiaries, and each direct and indirect parent of our US insurance subsidiaries (including Apollo and AHL), are required to register with their domiciliary insurance regulator and file certain reports with such regulators that includes information concerning their capital structure, ownership, financial condition, certain intercompany transactions and general business operations. Generally, under these laws, transactions between our US insurance subsidiaries and their affiliates, including any reinsurance transactions and affiliated investments, must be fair and reasonable and, if material or included within a specified category, require prior notice and approval or non-disapproval by the insurance department of each applicable Athene Domiciliary State.

Each of the Athene Domiciliary States require regulatory approval of a direct or indirect change of control of an insurer, which would include a change of control of its holding company. Such laws prevent any person from acquiring direct or indirect control of any of our US insurance subsidiaries or their holding companies unless that person has filed a statement with specified information with the commissioner, superintendent or director of the insurance department of the applicable Athene Domiciliary State (each, a Commissioner) and has obtained the Commissioner’s prior approval. Under the statutes of each of the Athene Domiciliary States, acquiring 10% or more of a voting interest in an insurer or its parent company is presumptively considered a change of control, although such presumption may be rebutted. Acquiring a controlling interest without obtaining prior approval of the Commissioner of the applicable Athene Domiciliary State would be in violation of the applicable Athene Domiciliary State’s law. These laws may discourage potential acquisition proposals and may delay, deter or prevent an acquisition of control of a direct or indirect parent of any of our US insurance subsidiaries (including Apollo or AHL) (in particular through an unsolicited transaction), even if the stockholders of such parent consider such transaction to be desirable.

United States Regulation

Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) Model Act

Under the laws of each Athene Domiciliary State, our insurance subsidiaries are required to undertake an internal risk management review at least annually assessing the adequacy of the insurer’s risk management and capital in light of its current and future business plans and prepare an ORSA Summary Report (ORSA Report). The ORSA Report is required to be filed annually with the IID, as the group’s lead state regulator, and made available to the other domiciliary regulators within the insurance group.

Financial Regulation

Credit for Coinsurance Ceded by a US Cedant

The ability of a US ceding insurer to take reserve credit for the business ceded to reinsurers through coinsurance is a significant component of reinsurance regulation and is often a determining factor in establishing a reinsurance relationship. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act), only the state in which a ceding insurer is domiciled may regulate the financial statement credit for reinsurance taken by that ceding insurer. With respect to US-domiciled ceding companies, credit is typically granted when: (1) the reinsurer is licensed or accredited in the state where the ceding company is domiciled; (2) the reinsurer is domiciled in a state with credit for reinsurance laws and regulations that are substantively similar to the credit for reinsurance laws and regulations in the ceding insurer’s state of domicile and the reinsurer meets certain financial requirements; or (3) other conditions are satisfied, such as the reinsurer securing its obligations to the cedant with qualified collateral.

Our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries have provided, and may in the future provide, reinsurance to our US insurance subsidiaries in the normal course of business. As none of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries are licensed, accredited or approved in any US state or jurisdiction, unless certain conditions are satisfied (see below), when engaging in coinsurance transactions, each of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries must collateralize its obligations to US-based cedants in order for such cedants to obtain credit against their reserves on their statutory basis financial statements.

All US states, including the Athene Domiciliary States, permit an insurer to take credit for reinsurance ceded to a non-US reinsurer that posts collateral in amounts less than 100% of the reinsurer’s obligations if the reinsurer has been designated as a “certified reinsurer” and is domiciled in a country recognized by the state and the NAIC as a “Qualified Jurisdiction.” The reduced percentage of full collateral applied to a certified reinsurer is based upon an assessment of the reinsurer and its financial ratings. In addition, the Athene Domiciliary States also recognize certain qualified non-US insurers as reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurers such that ceding domestic insurers may receive credit for reinsurance ceded to such unauthorized reinsurers without the requirement for the reinsurer to provide collateral.

ALRe has been approved as a certified reinsurer in Iowa, and for passport applications in Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, and Vermont and is therefore eligible, based on its current ratings, to post reduced collateral equal to 20% of the statutory reserves ceded under new coinsurance agreements by insurers domiciled in those states.

In addition, ALRe, AARe and AAIA have been approved as reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurers in Iowa. As of February 1, 2026, ALRe has received approval for passport applications for Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont. AARe has received approval for passport applications for Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont. AAIA has received approval of its passport application in New York.

Policy and Contract Reserve Adequacy Analysis

Under the insurance laws of the Athene Domiciliary States, our US insurance subsidiaries are each required to annually conduct an analysis of the adequacy of all life insurance and annuity statutory reserves. A qualified actuary appointed by each such subsidiary’s board must submit an opinion annually for each such subsidiary stating that the statutory reserves make adequate provision, according to accepted actuarial standards of practice, for the anticipated cash flows resulting from the contractual obligations and related expenses of such subsidiary. The adequacy of the statutory reserves is considered in light of the assets held by such US insurance subsidiary with respect to such reserves and related actuarial items, including, but not limited to, the investment earnings on such assets and the consideration anticipated to be received and retained under the related policies and contracts. At a minimum, such testing is done over a number of economic scenarios prescribed by the states, with the scenarios designed to stress anticipated cash flows for higher and/or lower future levels of interest rates. Our US insurance subsidiaries may find it necessary to increase reserves, which may decrease their statutory surplus, in order to pass additional cash flow testing requirements.

Statutory Reporting and Regulatory Examinations

Our insurance subsidiaries are required to file with regulatory officials in the jurisdictions in which they conduct business detailed annual reports, including financial statements, in accordance with prescribed statutory accounting rules. As part of their routine regulatory oversight process, US state insurance departments conduct periodic detailed examinations, generally once every three to five years, of the books, records, accounts and operations of insurers that are domiciled in their states. Examinations are generally carried out in cooperation with the insurance departments of other states under guidelines promulgated by the NAIC. We are currently not under any examination by any of our domiciliary states. The previous exam cycle with the IID, New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS), and the State of Vermont Department of Financial Regulation was completed with no material findings.

Market Conduct Regulation

State insurance laws and regulations include numerous provisions governing the marketplace activities of insurers, including provisions governing claims settlement practices, the form and content of disclosure to consumers, illustrations, advertising, sales and complaint process practices. State regulatory authorities generally enforce these provisions through periodic market conduct examinations. In addition, our US insurance subsidiaries must file, and in many jurisdictions and for some lines of business, obtain regulatory approval for, rates and forms relating to the insurance written in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Our US insurance subsidiaries are currently undergoing the following market conduct exams: (1) the IID is conducting a routine examination of AAIA’s policies and procedures to revisions to the NAIC Model Regulation #275 – Suitability in Annuity Transactions; and (2) the NYSDFS has recently notified us of their plans to conduct routine examinations of AANY and ALICNY for the period of January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024.

Capital Requirements

Regulators of each jurisdiction in which we operate have discretionary authority in connection with our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries’ continued licensing to limit or prohibit sales to policyholders within their respective jurisdiction or to restrict continued operation of insurers or reinsurers domiciled in their respective jurisdiction if, in their judgment, such entities have not maintained the required level of minimum surplus or capital or that the further transaction of business would be hazardous to policyholders or reinsurance counterparties.

Each of the Athene Domiciliary States have adopted requirements for insurers and reinsurers that require life insurers to submit an annual report (the Risk-Based Capital Report), which compares an insurer’s total adjusted capital (TAC) to its authorized control level RBC (ACL), each such term as defined pursuant to applicable state law. A company’s RBC is calculated by using a specified formula that applies factors to various risks inherent in the insurer’s operations, including risks attributable to its assets, underwriting experience, interest rates and other business expenses. The calculation of RBC requires certain judgments to be made, and, accordingly, our US insurance subsidiaries’ current RBC may be greater or less than the RBC calculated as of any date of determination. The factors are higher for those items deemed to have greater underlying risk and lower for items deemed to have less underlying risk. Statutory RBC is measured on two bases, ACL and company action level RBC (CAL), with ACL calculated as one-half of CAL.

The Risk-Based Capital Report is used by regulators to set in motion appropriate regulatory actions relating to insurers that show indications of weak or deteriorating status.

As of December 31, 2025, each of our US insurance subsidiaries’ TAC was significantly in excess of the levels that would prompt regulatory action under the laws of the Athene Domiciliary States.

Restrictions on Dividends and Other Distributions

The Athene Domiciliary States’ insurance laws typically restrict the dividends or other distributions an insurance company subsidiary may pay to its parent company and limit transactions between an insurer and its affiliates. Dividends exceeding prescribed limits and transactions above a specified size between an insurer and its affiliates require domiciliary insurance regulatory approval. Such laws and regulations also require that each of our US insurance subsidiaries’ surplus as regards policyholders following any dividend or distribution be reasonable in relation to such US insurance subsidiary’s outstanding liabilities and adequate to meet its financial needs.

Regulation of Investments

Each of our US insurance subsidiaries is subject to laws and regulations in each Athene Domiciliary State that require diversification of its investment portfolio and limit the amounts of investments in certain asset categories, such as below-investment grade fixed income securities, real estate-related equity, partnerships, other equity investments, derivatives and alternative investments. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations would cause investments exceeding regulatory limitations to be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of measuring statutory surplus and, in some instances, could require the divestiture of such non-qualifying investments.

Guaranty Associations

All 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia have insurance guaranty fund laws requiring insurance companies doing business within those jurisdictions to participate in guaranty associations. Guaranty associations are organized to cover, subject to limits, contractual obligations under insurance policies issued by insurance companies which later become impaired or insolvent. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on each member insurer doing business in a particular state on the basis of their proportionate share of the premiums written by all member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired or insolvent insurer previously engaged. Most states limit assessments in any year to 2% of the insurer’s average annual premium for the three years preceding the calendar year in which the impaired insurer became impaired or insolvent. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets, usually over a period of years.

The guaranty fund laws in most states also apply a fifty-fifty split between life insurers (including our US insurance subsidiaries) and health insurers (including health maintenance organizations) for long-term care insolvencies.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

Assessments levied against our US insurance subsidiaries by guaranty associations during the year ended December 31, 2025 are disclosed in Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements. While we cannot accurately predict the amount of any such future assessments, or past or future insolvencies of competitors which would lead to such assessments, it is possible that any such assessments with respect to pending insurers’ impairments and insolvencies may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows, and any reserves we have previously established for these potential assessments may not be adequate.

Sales Standards and Product Governance

Regulation of FIAs, RILAs, and other Annuity Products

In the past, the SEC and state securities regulators have questioned whether FIAs, such as those sold by our US insurance subsidiaries, should be treated as securities under the federal and state securities laws rather than as insurance products exempted from such laws. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, annuities that meet specific requirements are specifically exempted from being treated as securities by the SEC. Our RILA product is not exempted from being treated as a security by the SEC and state securities regulators, but we expect that the types of FIAs that our US insurance subsidiaries currently sell will meet applicable requirements for exemption from treatment as securities and therefore will remain exempt from being treated as securities by the SEC and state securities regulators. However, there can be no assurance that federal or state securities laws or state insurance laws and regulations will not be amended or interpreted to impose further requirements on FIAs. Treatment of these products as securities would require additional registration and licensing of these products and the agents selling them, as well as cause our US insurance subsidiaries to seek new or additional marketing relationships for these products, any of which may impose significant restrictions on their ability to conduct business as currently operated.

Unclaimed Property Laws

Each of our US insurance subsidiaries is subject to the laws and regulations of states and other jurisdictions concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of abandoned or unclaimed money or property. State treasurers, controllers and revenue departments have audited life insurers, required escheatment and imposed interest penalties on amounts escheated for failure to escheat death benefits or other contract benefits when beneficiaries could not be found at the expiration of statutory dormancy periods. Several states have enacted new laws or adopted new regulations mandating the use by insurance companies of the US Social Security Administration’s Social Security Death Index (Death Master File) or other similar databases to identify deceased persons and to implement more rigorous processes to find beneficiaries. Our US insurance subsidiaries could be subject to risks related to unpaid benefits and the Death Master File.

Broker-dealers

Our securities operations, principally conducted by our limited purpose SEC-registered broker-dealer, Athene Securities, LLC (Athene Securities), are subject to federal and state securities and related laws, and are regulated principally by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and state securities authorities. Athene Securities does not hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities. Athene Securities is the principal underwriter for the RILA and PPVA products that we offer, and has FINRA permissions to retail the PPVA product. Athene Securities currently serves as the principal underwriter of a block of variable contracts that were closed to new investors in 2002 and issued by a predecessor of AAIA. Athene Securities continues to receive concessions on those variable annuity contracts. Athene Securities also provides supervisory oversight to Athene employees who are registered representatives.

Athene Securities and employees or personnel registered with Athene Securities are subject to the Exchange Act and to regulation and examination by the SEC, FINRA and state securities commissioners. The SEC and other governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the US, have the power to conduct administrative proceedings that can result in censure; penalties and fines; disgorgement of profits; restitution to customers; cease-and-desist orders; or suspension, termination or limitation of the activities of the regulated entity or its employees.

As a registered broker-dealer and member of various self-regulatory organizations, Athene Securities is subject to the SEC’s net capital rule, which specifies the minimum level of net capital a broker-dealer is required to maintain and requires a minimum part of its assets to be kept in relatively liquid form. These net capital requirements are designed to measure the financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers. The net capital rule imposes certain requirements that may have the effect of preventing a broker-dealer from distributing or withdrawing capital and may require that prior notice to the regulators be provided prior to making capital withdrawals. Compliance with net capital requirements may limit the ability of our broker-dealer subsidiary to pay dividends to us.

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA)

We also may be subject to regulation by the US Department of Labor (DOL) when providing a variety of products and services to employee benefit plans governed by ERISA. ERISA is a comprehensive federal statute that applies to US employee benefit plans sponsored by private employers and labor unions. Plans subject to ERISA include pension and profit-sharing plans and welfare plans, including health, life and disability plans. Among other things, ERISA imposes reporting and disclosure obligations, prescribes standards of conduct that apply to plan fiduciaries and prohibits transactions known as “prohibited transactions,” such as conflict-of-interest transactions, self-dealing and certain transactions between a benefit plan and a “party in interest.” ERISA also provides for a scheme of civil and criminal penalties and enforcement. We are also subject to ERISA’s prohibited transaction rules for transactions with ERISA plans, which may affect our ability to, or the terms upon which we may, enter into transactions with those plans, even in businesses unrelated to those giving rise to “party in interest” status. The applicable provisions of ERISA and the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Internal Revenue Code) are subject to enforcement by the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the US Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Severe penalties are imposed for breach of duty under ERISA.

On April 23, 2024, the DOL released a final regulation that expanded the circumstances under which certain financial institutions could be considered to be fiduciaries for purposes of ERISA and the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Code. In July 2024, two Texas federal district courts issued stays on the effective date of the final regulation and, in November 2025, the DOL announced that it would not appeal the decisions. Instead, the DOL has announced that it plans to issue a new regulation defining the term “fiduciary” for purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. We continue to monitor this issue for any additional developments.

SEC and State Fiduciary Standards

The SEC adopted a rule in 2020 under the Exchange Act that establishes a standard of conduct for broker-dealers and associated persons of a broker-dealer when they make a recommendation to a retail customer of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities. This rule, called “Regulation Best Interest,” requires broker-dealers, among other things, to act in the best interest of the retail customer at the time the recommendation is made, without placing the financial or other interest of the broker-dealer ahead of the interests of the retail customer. Though Regulation Best Interest does not directly impact the sale of our annuity products, with the exception of our RILA product, it does impact how some of our retail distribution partners monitor insurance sales.

In April 2025, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), the association of state securities administrators in the US and Canada, adopted revisions to its Model Rule on Dishonest and Unethical Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents to incorporate the standards of Regulation Best Interest. The SEC did not indicate an intent to preempt state regulation in this area, and some of the state proposals would allow for a private right of action. As a result of these changes, it may become more costly to provide our products and services in the states subject to these rules.

The NAIC has adopted the Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulation (SAT), which places responsibilities upon insurers with respect to the suitability of annuity sales, including responsibilities for training agents, that includes a requirement for producers to act in the “best interest” of a retail customer when making a recommendation of an annuity. Many states, including Athene Domiciliary States, have already enacted laws and/or regulations based on SAT, thus imposing suitability standards with respect to sales of FIAs. All states, other than New York, have adopted a version of the revised SAT. Future changes in such laws and regulations could adversely affect the way our US insurance subsidiaries market and sell their annuity products.

Further, the SEC has asserted in examinations and enforcement actions that when an individual licensed both as an investment adviser representative or broker-dealer registered representative and as an insurance agent advises customers about allocating assets between securities and non-securities insurance products (such as indexed annuities), Regulation Best Interest and the investment fiduciary interpretation apply to those recommendations.

Federal Oversight

Although the insurance business in the US is primarily regulated by the states, federal measures can affect the businesses of our US insurance subsidiaries in a variety of ways. These areas of regulation include financial services, securities, derivatives, pension, anti-money laundering, privacy, taxation and the economic and trade sanctions implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). OFAC maintains and enforces economic sanctions against certain countries, regions and persons in support of a variety of US foreign policy and national security objections, which prohibit US persons from engaging in certain transactions with certain persons or entities. OFAC has imposed civil penalties on persons, including insurers and reinsurers, arising from violations of its economic sanctions program. In addition, various forms of direct and indirect federal regulation of insurance have been proposed from time to time, including proposals for the establishment of an optional federal charter for insurance companies.

Item 1. Business

Title I of the Dodd-Frank Act established the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and authorized the FSOC to designate non-bank financial companies as systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs), thereby subjecting them to enhanced prudential standards and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve). The prudential standards for non-bank SIFIs include enhanced RBC requirements, leverage limits, liquidity requirements, single counterparty exposure limits, governance requirements for risk management, stress test requirements, special debt-to-equity limits for certain companies, early remediation procedures, and recovery and resolution planning. In November 2023, the FSOC voted to adopt new guidance regarding the designation of non-bank SIFIs, which became effective January 16, 2024. The changes from the FSOC’s prior guidance include a revised approach to SIFI designation based on risk factors contained in an analytic framework, including leverage, liquidity risk and maturity mismatch, interconnections, operational risks, complexity, or opacity, inadequate risk management, concentration, and destabilizing activities, regardless of whether those risks arise from activities, firms, or otherwise. While there are currently no such non-bank financial companies designated by FSOC as “systemically significant,” under the new guidance, the FSOC is no longer required to conduct a cost-benefit analysis and an assessment of the likelihood of a non-bank financial company’s material financial distress before considering the designation of the company. The revised process could have the effect of simplifying and shortening FSOC’s procedures for designating certain financial companies as non-bank SIFIs. There is considerable uncertainty as to the FSOC’s future determination of non-bank SIFIs and/or systemically important activities.

The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the Federal Insurance Office to assist the Secretary of the Treasury Department in negotiating covered agreements. A covered agreement is an agreement between the US and one or more foreign governments, authorities or regulatory entities, regarding prudential measures with respect to insurance or reinsurance. The US has entered into covered agreements with the EU (EU Covered Agreement) and the UK (UK Covered Agreement) that address, among other things, reinsurance collateral requirements. In 2019, the NAIC adopted amendments to the Credit for Reinsurance Model Law and Regulation that are intended to implement the reinsurance reforms removing reinsurance collateral requirements for EU and UK reinsurers that meet the prescribed minimum conditions set forth in the applicable EU Covered Agreement or UK Covered Agreement. All states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have adopted the NAIC’s amendments to the Credit for Reinsurance Model Law. See –Credit for Coinsurance Ceded by a US Cedant. The reinsurance collateral provisions of the EU Covered Agreement and the UK Covered Agreement may increase competition, in particular with respect to pricing for reinsurance transactions, by lowering the cost at which competitors of ALRe are able to provide reinsurance to US insurers.

Bermuda Regulation

Capital Requirements

In addition, certain of our reinsurance subsidiaries must maintain a minimum margin of solvency (MMS) in accordance with the provisions of the Bermuda Insurance Act. The Bermuda Insurance Act mandates certain actions and filings with the BMA if an insurer fails to meet and/or maintain its ECR or MMS including the filing of a written report detailing the circumstances giving rise to the failure and the manner and time within which the insurer intends to rectify the failure.

Under the Bermuda Regulatory Framework there are two solvency calculations: (1) Class C and Class E Insurers must have total statutory capital and surplus as reported on the insurer’s statutory balance sheet greater than the applicable MMS calculated pursuant to the Insurance Account Rules 2016; and (2) under the Insurance (Prudential Standards) (Class C, Class D and Class E Solvency Requirement) Rules 2011 an insurer is required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus in an amount that is equal to or exceeds the value of its ECR. Each BSCR model provides a method for determining an insurer’s capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the insurer’s business.

While not specifically referred to in the Bermuda Insurance Act, target capital level (TCL) is also an important threshold for statutory capital and surplus. TCL, which is equal to 120% of ECR as calculated pursuant to the BSCR formula, serves as an early warning tool for the BMA. If an insurer fails to maintain statutory capital at least equal to its TCL, such failure will likely result in increased regulatory oversight by the BMA.

To enable the BMA to better assess the quality of the insurer’s capital resources, both Class C and Class E insurers are required to disclose the makeup of its capital in accordance with the ‘3-tiered capital system.’ Under this system, all of the insurer’s capital instruments must be classified as either basic or ancillary capital. All capital instruments are further classified into one of three tiers based on their “loss absorbency” characteristics. Highest quality capital will be classified as Tier 1 Capital, lesser quality capital will be classified as either Tier 2 Capital or Tier 3 Capital. Under this regime, up to certain specified percentages of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital may be used to support the insurer’s MMS, ECR and TCL.

Where the BMA has previously approved the use of certain instruments for capital purposes, the BMA’s consent will need to be obtained if such instruments are to remain eligible for use in satisfying the MMS and the ECR. The BMA has approved the following capital instruments that impact the tiering and calculation of ECR and MMS: (1) the use of surplus notes for ACRA 1B to be treated as Tier 1 Capital and (2) the use of surplus notes for ACRA 2B to be treated as Tier 1 Capital.

In January 2026, the BMA introduced a requirement for Class C, D and E insurers to prepare and file an asset and liability statement as part of the applicable year-end filing period, a copy of which must be kept at the insurers principal office for a period of at least five years from the filing date.

Restrictions on Dividends and Other Distributions

Under the Bermuda’s Companies Act 1981 (the Companies Act), a company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (1) the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (2) the realizable value of the company’s assets would thereby be less than its liabilities. In addition, under the Bermuda Insurance Act, an insurer is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if in breach of its ECR or MMS or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Each of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries is also prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends unless the value of its long-term business assets exceeds its long-term business liabilities by the amount of the dividend and at least the MMS.

Regulation of an Insurer’s Stockholders

The BMA maintains supervision over the “controllers” of all registered insurers in Bermuda. For these purposes, a “controller” includes (1) the managing director of the registered insurer or its parent company, (2) the chief executive of the registered insurer or of its parent company, (3) a stockholder controller, and (4) any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions the directors of the registered insurer or its parent company are accustomed to act.

The definition of stockholder controller is set out in the Bermuda Insurance Act but generally refers to (1) a person who holds 10% or more of the shares carrying rights to vote at a stockholders’ meeting of the registered insurer or its parent company, (2) a person who is entitled to exercise 10% or more of the voting power at any stockholders’ meeting of such registered insurer or its parent company or (3) a person who is able to exercise significant influence over the management of the registered insurer or its parent company by virtue of its shareholding or its entitlement to exercise, or control the exercise of, the voting power at any stockholders’ meeting.

Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, stockholder controller ownership is defined as follows:


Actual Stockholder Controller Voting Power						Defined Stockholder Controller Voting Power
10% or more but less than 20%						10%
20% or more but less than 33%						20%
33% or more but less than 50%						33%
50% or more						50%

Where the shares of a registered insurer, or the shares of its parent company, are traded on a recognized stock exchange, and such stockholder becomes a 10%, 20%, 33%, or 50% stockholder controller of the insurer, that stockholder shall, within 45 days, notify the BMA in writing that such stockholder has become, or as a result of a disposition ceased to be, a controller of any such category.

Any person or entity who contravenes the Bermuda Insurance Act by failing to give notice or knowingly becoming a controller of any description before the required 45 days has elapsed is guilty of an offense under Bermuda law and liable to a fine of $25,000 on summary conviction.

The BMA may file a notice of objection to any person or entity who has become a controller of any category when it appears that such person or entity is not, or is no longer, fit and proper to be a controller of the registered insurer. Before issuing a notice of objection, the BMA is required to serve upon the person or entity concerned a preliminary written notice stating the BMA’s intention to issue formal notice of objection. Upon receipt of the preliminary written notice, the person or entity served may, within 28 days, file written representations with the BMA which shall be taken into account by the BMA in making its final determination. Any person or entity who continues to be a controller of any description after having received a notice of objection is guilty of an offense and liable on summary conviction to a fine of $25,000 (and a continuing fine of $500 per day for each day that the offense is continuing) or, if convicted on indictment, to a fine of $100,000 and/or 2 years in prison.

The permission of the BMA is required, pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Control Act 1972 and related regulations, for all issuances and transfers of shares of Bermuda companies to or from a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, other than in cases where the BMA has granted a general permission.

Policyholder Priority

In the event of the impairment or insolvency of one of our US insurance subsidiaries, the applicable Commissioner will be authorized and directed to commence delinquency proceedings for the purpose of liquidating, rehabilitating, reorganizing or conserving the applicable US insurance subsidiary pursuant to applicable state insurance laws and regulations. In conducting delinquency proceedings, claims are prioritized and an order of distribution is specified pursuant to applicable state insurance laws and regulations. In each of the Athene Domiciliary States, claims of general unsecured creditors would be subordinated to claims of the insurer’s policyholders and other claimants with priority in accordance with the priority-of-distribution scheme prescribed by applicable state insurance law.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Business

Similarly, in the event of a liquidation or winding up of one of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries, policyholders’ liabilities receive prior payment ahead of general unsecured creditors. Subject to the prior payment of preferential debts under Bermuda’s Employment Act 2000 and the Companies Act, the insurance debts of an insurer must be paid in priority to all other unsecured debts of the insurer. Insurance debt is defined as a debt to which an insurer is or may become liable pursuant to an insurance contract, excluding debts owed to an insurer under an insurance contract where the insurer is the person insured. Insurance contract is defined as any contract of insurance, capital redemption contract or a contract that has been recorded as insurance business in the financial statements of the insurer pursuant to the Insurance Accounts 1980 or the Insurance Account Rules 2016, as applicable.

Data, Cybersecurity, and Technology Regulation

Federal and state consumer protection laws affect our operations. Although certain federal laws exclude the regulation of insurance business of the kind in which our US insurance subsidiaries engage, various federal regulators and state regulators do have authority to regulate non-insurance consumer products and services which are offered by issuers of securities in our US insurance subsidiaries’ investment portfolio. Non-insurance consumer products and services are highly regulated. Moreover, such regulators may seek to assert jurisdiction over predominantly insurance-related products or services in instances where such products or services are related to or intertwined with the offering of consumer financial products or services more clearly within such regulator’s remit.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA), which implemented fundamental changes in the regulation of the financial services industry in the US, includes privacy and security requirements for financial institutions, including obligations to protect and safeguard consumers’ nonpublic personal information and records, and limitations on the re-disclosure and re-use of such information. Federal and state laws require notice to affected individuals, regulators and others if there is a breach of the security of certain personal information, including Social Security numbers. In addition, privacy laws also regulate the use and disclosure of personal information, including rules on the disclosure of the medical record and health status information obtained by insurers. Moreover, issues surrounding data security and the safeguarding of consumers’ protected information are under increasing regulatory scrutiny by state and federal regulators.

The NAIC’s Insurance Data Security Model Law is intended to establish the standards for data security and standards for the investigation and notification of data breaches applicable to insurance licensees in states adopting such law. Moreover, the NYSDFS has increased enforcement of its Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500) in recent years. We expect cybersecurity risk management, prioritization and reporting to continue to be an area of significant regulatory focus by such regulatory bodies and self-regulatory organizations.

In addition to insurance and other financial institution-specific privacy laws and regulations, an increasing number of states are considering and passing comprehensive privacy legislation. Most of these laws broadly exempt entities covered by the GLBA or insurers more generally, and other laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) exempts only personal information that is subject to the GLBA. Several other states have enacted comprehensive privacy legislation, and while these new laws generally include exemptions from GLBA-covered data, they add layers of complexity to compliance in the US market, and could increase our compliance costs and adversely affect our business. We anticipate that additional expenditure of resources will be necessary to respond to the evolving regulatory regimes, and possibly respond to regulatory actions and mitigate reputational harm.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) governs the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and other processing of personal data. The UK has implemented the EU GDPR as the UK GDPR (which sits alongside the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and the UK GDPR together with the EU GDPR shall be referred to as the GDPR).

The GDPR imposes onerous and comprehensive privacy, data protection, and data security obligations on controllers and provides certain rights for data subjects. The GDPR also prohibits the international transfer of personal data from the EEA/UK to the US and other countries that the European Commission or UK Government (respectively) does not recognize as having ‘adequate’ data protection laws unless the parties to the transfer have implemented specific safeguards to protect the transferred personal data. Non-compliance with GDPR requirements could result in administrative fines of up to the greater of €20.0 million or 4% of global annual revenues or €20.0 million (under the EU GDPR) or £17.5m (under the UK GDPR). The EU GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the EU GDPR.

Currently, the volume of personal data processed in connection with each entity’s EU and UK activities is insignificant and limited to management and governance matters. We regularly monitor our business activities to ensure we are prepared for compliance, should the EU GDPR or UK GDPR ever apply to our business more broadly.

There has been increased scrutiny, including from state insurance regulators, regarding the use of “big data” techniques, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and automated decision-making. The NAIC established the Innovation, Cybersecurity and Technology (H) Committee ((H) Committee) to address the insurance implications of cybersecurity and emerging technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence and e-commerce. In December 2023, the (H) Committee adopted the Model Bulletin on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems by Insurers (AI Bulletin), which outlines how insurance regulators should govern the development, acquisition and use of artificial intelligence technologies, as well as the types of information that regulators may request during an investigation or examination of an insurer in relation to artificial intelligence systems, which has already started to be adopted by the states.

Item 1. Business

As a result of increased innovation and technology in the insurance sector, the NAIC is monitoring technology developments that impact the state insurance regulatory framework and has developed or is developing regulatory guidance, as appropriate. For example, the NAIC has adopted amendments to the anti-rebating provisions of the NAIC’s Unfair Trade Practices Act to address new technologies that are being deployed to add value to existing insurance products and services. The NAIC also adopted guiding principles related to artificial intelligence, its use in the insurance sector, and its impact on consumer protection and privacy, marketplace dynamics and the state-based insurance regulatory framework. Additional guidance or developments, including with respect to privacy, may also be forthcoming.

We expect that innovation and technology, including “big data,” will remain an important issue for the NAIC and state insurance regulators. We cannot predict what, if any, changes to laws or regulations may be enacted with regard to innovation and technology in the insurance sector.

Environmental Regulation

Our investment in mortgage loans and in a limited partnership that is in the business of originating residential mortgage loans (RML) may expose us to various environmental and other regulations. For example, to the extent that we hold whole mortgage loans as part of our investment portfolio, we may be responsible for certain tax payments or subject to liabilities under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. Additionally, we may be subject to regulation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as a mortgage holder or property owner. We are currently unable to predict the impact of such regulation on our business.

The NAIC continues to monitor and address how climate-related risks affect the insurance industry and consumers by, among other things, collecting financial data from insurers, including information on insurer investments, which can be used to assess industry investment exposure to various risks, and monitoring and analyzing developments and trends in the financial markets, including with respect to investment exposures. We have already implemented consideration of financial risks from climate change into our governance frameworks and organizational structure in response to 2021 guidance from the NYSDFS. Additionally, the NAIC is considering enhancements to financial solvency regulation manuals to address climate-related risk and resiliency issues.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Certain metrics discussed in this section are based on management view and therefore may not correspond to amounts disclosed in our consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto. For example, investment figures cited represent our net invested assets, which include assets held by cedants that correspond to liabilities ceded to us, but do not include amounts attributable to our noncontrolling interests in ACRA. In the context discussed, we believe that these metrics provide the most comprehensive view of our risk exposures. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures–Net Invested Assets for further discussion.

Risks Relating to Our Business Operations

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows depend on the accuracy of our management’s assumptions and estimates, and we could experience significant gains or losses if these assumptions and estimates differ significantly from actual results.

We make and rely on certain assumptions and estimates regarding many matters related to our business, including valuations, interest rates, investment returns, expenses and operating costs, tax assets and liabilities, tax rates, business mix, surrender activity, mortality and contingent liabilities. We also use these assumptions and estimates to make decisions crucial to our business operations, including establishing pricing, target returns and expense structures for our insurance subsidiaries’ products and pension group annuity transactions; determining the amount of reserves we are required to hold for our policy liabilities; determining the price we will pay to acquire or reinsure business; determining the hedging strategies we employ to manage risks to our business and operations; and determining the amount of regulatory and rating agency capital that our insurance subsidiaries must hold to support their businesses. The factors influencing these assumptions and estimates cannot be calculated or predicted with certainty, and if our assumptions and estimates differ significantly from actual outcomes and results, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected. Certain of the assumptions relevant to our business are discussed in greater detail below.

•Insurance Products and Liabilities – Pricing of our annuity and other insurance products, whether issued by us or acquired through reinsurance or acquisitions, is based upon assumptions about persistency, mortality and the rates at which optional benefits are elected. A factor which may affect persistency for some of our products is the value of guaranteed minimum benefits. An increase in the value of guaranteed minimum benefits could result in our policies remaining in force longer than we have estimated, which could adversely affect our results of operations. This could be caused by extended periods of poor equity market performance and/or low interest rates, developments affecting customer perception and other factors outside our control. Alternatively, our persistency estimates could be negatively affected during periods of rising equity markets or interest rates or by other factors outside our control, which could result in fewer policies remaining in force than estimated. Therefore, our results will vary based on deviations from expected policyholder behavior.

If emerging or actual experience deviates from our assumptions, such deviations could have a significant effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. For example, a significant portion of our in-force and newly issued products contain riders that offer guaranteed lifetime income or death benefits. These riders expose us to mortality, longevity and policyholder behavior risks. If actual utilization of certain rider benefits is adverse when compared to our estimates used in setting our reserves for future policy benefits, these reserves may prove to be inadequate and we may be required to increase such reserves. More generally, deviations from our pricing expectations could result in our subsidiaries earning less of a spread between the investment income earned on our subsidiaries’ assets and the interest credited to such products and other costs incurred in servicing the products, or may require our subsidiaries to make more payments under certain products than our subsidiaries had projected.

•Determination of Fair Value – We hold securities, derivative instruments and other assets and liabilities that must be, or at our election are, measured at fair value. Fair value represents the anticipated amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. The determination of fair value involves the use of various assumptions and estimates, and considerable judgment may be required to estimate fair value. Accordingly, estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange. As such, changes in or deviations from the assumptions used in such valuations can significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. During periods of market disruption, including periods of rapidly changing credit spreads or illiquidity, if trading becomes less frequent or market data becomes less observable, it will likely be difficult to value certain of our investments. Further, rapidly changing credit and equity market conditions could materially impact the valuation of investments as reported within our financial statements, and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Even if our assumptions and valuations are accurate at the time that they are made, the market value of these investments could subsequently decline, which could materially and adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

•Hedging Strategies – We use, and may in the future use, derivatives and reinsurance contracts to hedge risks related to current or future changes in the fair value of our assets and liabilities; current or future changes in cash flows; changes in interest rates, equity markets and credit spreads; the occurrence of credit defaults; foreign currency fluctuations; and changes in mortality and longevity. We use equity derivatives to hedge the liabilities associated with our indexed annuities. Our hedging strategies rely on assumptions and projections regarding our assets and liabilities, as well as general market factors and the creditworthiness of our counterparties, any or all of which may prove to be incorrect or inadequate. Additionally, the derivatives market has become the subject of comprehensive regulation, which may impact the availability and cost of derivatives that we use. Accordingly, our ability to hedge and our hedging activities may be adversely impacted or not have the desired impact. We may also incur significant losses on hedging transactions.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

•Financial Statements – The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. These significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the fair value of investments; impairment of investments and allowances for expected credit losses; derivatives valuation, including embedded derivatives; future policy benefit reserves; market risk benefit assets and liabilities; consolidation of VIEs; and income taxes. The estimates and assumptions required for these calculations involve judgment and by nature are imprecise and subject to changes and revisions over time. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if actual results differ from the estimates we use or if assumptions are materially revised.

A financial strength rating downgrade, potential downgrade or any other negative action by a rating agency could make our product offerings less attractive, inhibit our ability to acquire future business through acquisitions or reinsurance and increase our cost of capital, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Various Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs) review the financial performance and condition of insurers and reinsurers, including our subsidiaries, and publish their financial strength ratings as indicators of an insurer’s ability to meet policyholder obligations. These ratings are important to maintain public confidence in our insurance subsidiaries’ products, our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to market their products and our competitive position. Factors that could negatively influence this analysis include:

•changes to our business practices or organizational business plan in a manner that no longer supports our ratings;

•unfavorable financial or market trends;

•changes in NRSROs’ capital adequacy assessment methodologies in a manner that would adversely affect the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries;

•a need to increase reserves to support our outstanding insurance obligations;

•our inability to retain our senior management and other key personnel;

•rapid or excessive growth, especially through large reinsurance transactions or acquisitions, beyond the bounds of capital sufficiency or management capabilities as judged by the NRSROs; and

•significant losses to our investment portfolio.

Some other factors may also relate to circumstances outside of our control, such as views of the NRSRO and general economic conditions. Any downgrade or other negative action by a NRSRO with respect to the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries, or an entity we acquire, or our credit ratings, could materially adversely affect us and our ability to compete in many ways, including the following:

•reducing new sales of insurance products;

•harming relationships with or perceptions of distributors, IMOs, sales agents, banks and broker-dealers;

•increasing the number or amount of policy lapses or surrenders and withdrawals of funds, which may result in a mismatch of our overall asset and liability position;

•requiring us to offer higher crediting rates or greater policyholder guarantees on our insurance products in order to remain competitive;

•increase our borrowing costs;

•reducing our level of profitability and capital position generally or hindering our ability to raise new capital; or

•requiring us to collateralize obligations under or result in early or unplanned termination of hedging agreements and harming our ability to enter into new hedging agreements.

In order to improve or maintain their financial strength ratings, management may attempt to implement strategies which improve capital ratios or other measures and perceptions of our subsidiaries. We cannot guarantee any such measures will be successful. We cannot predict what actions NRSROs may take in the future, and failure to maintain current financial strength ratings could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We operate in a highly competitive industry that includes a number of competitors, which could limit our ability to achieve our growth strategies and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

We operate in highly competitive markets and compete with large and small industry participants. We face intense competition, including from US and non-US insurance and reinsurance companies, broker-dealers, financial advisors, asset managers, diversified financial institutions and private equity firms, with respect to both the products we offer and the acquisition and block reinsurance transactions we pursue. We compete based on a number of factors including financial strength ratings, credit ratings, brand recognition, reputation, quality of service, performance of our products, product features, scope of distribution and price. A decline in our competitive position as to one or more of these factors could adversely affect our profitability. In addition, we may in the future sacrifice our competitive or market position in order to improve our short-term profitability, particularly in the highly competitive retail markets, which may adversely affect our long-term growth and results of operations. Alternatively, we may sacrifice short-term profitability to maintain market share and long-term growth.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Many of our competitors are large and well-established and some have greater breadth of distribution; offer a broader range of products, services or features; assume a greater level of risk; or have higher financial strength, claims-paying or credit ratings than we do. Our competitors may also have lower return on capital targets than we do which may allow them to price products, reinsurance arrangements or acquisitions more competitively. In addition, our competitors, including new market entrants may engage in aggressive, non-economic pricing in an effort to gain market share. If we experience a decline in our competitive position or if our financial strength and credit ratings remain lower than the ratings of certain of our competitors, we may experience increased surrenders and/or an inability to reach sales targets or consummate block reinsurance transactions, which may have a material and adverse effect on our growth, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

In addition, we may face other competitive risks beyond those specific to the businesses in which we operate. For example, the use and implementation of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence (collectively, AI Technologies), may change how financial institutions, including insurers and asset managers, operate, design products, manage risk, and engage with distribution partners and policyholders. Competitors that more effectively adopt or deploy AI Technologies may gain operational, pricing, or product‑development advantages, which could increase competitive pressures.

If we are unable to attract and retain IMOs, banks and broker-dealers, sales of certain of our products may be adversely affected.

We distribute our annuity products through a variable cost distribution network, which includes 41 IMOs, 18 banks and 163 broker-dealers, collectively representing approximately 152,000 independent agents. We must attract and retain such marketers, agents and financial institutions to sell our products. In particular, insurance companies compete vigorously for productive agents. We compete with other life insurance companies for marketers, agents and financial institutions primarily on the basis of our financial position, support services, compensation, credit ratings and product features. Such marketers, agents and financial institutions may promote products offered by other life insurance companies that may offer a larger variety of products than we do. Our competitiveness for such marketers, agents and financial institutions also depends upon the long-term relationships we develop with them. There can be no assurance that such relationships will continue in the future. In addition, our growth plans include increasing the distribution of annuity products through banks and broker-dealers. If we are unable to attract and retain sufficient marketers and agents to sell our products or if we are not successful in expanding our distribution channels within the bank and broker-dealer markets, our ability to compete and our sales volumes and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We rely significantly on third parties for various services, and we may be held responsible for obligations that arise from the acts or omissions of third parties under their respective agreements with us.

We rely significantly on third parties to provide various services that are important to our business, including investment, distribution and administrative services. As such, our business may be affected by the performance of those parties. Additionally, our operations are dependent on various technologies, some of which are provided or maintained by certain key outsourcing partners and other parties. See Item 1. Business–Outsourcing for certain of the functions that we outsource to third parties.

Many of our subsidiaries’ products and services are sold through third-party intermediaries. In particular, our insurance businesses are reliant on such intermediaries to describe and explain these products and services to potential customers, and although we take precautions to avoid this result, such intermediaries may be deemed to have acted on our behalf. If that occurs, the intentional or unintentional misrepresentation of our subsidiaries’ products and services in advertising materials or other external communications, or inappropriate activities by an intermediary or personnel employed by an intermediary could result in liability for us and have an adverse effect on our reputation and business prospects, as well as lead to potential regulatory actions or litigation involving or against us. In addition, we rely on third-party administrators (TPAs) to administer a portion of our annuity contracts, as well as our legacy life insurance business. Some of our reinsurers also use TPAs to administer business we reinsure to them. To the extent any of these TPAs do not administer such business appropriately, we may experience customer complaints, regulatory intervention and other adverse impacts, which could affect our future growth and profitability. Previously, we received a Section 308 information request from the NYSDFS relating to the administration and lapse of certain life policies covered by a consent order we entered into with the NYSDFS in 2018. Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited (together with its subsidiaries, Global Atlantic) and certain of its affiliates, the reinsurer and administrator of these policies, has been assisting us in our response to the NYSDFS and is obligated to indemnify us under the terms of the reinsurance agreement between us and Global Atlantic. If any of these TPAs or their employees are found to have made material misrepresentations to our policyholders, violated applicable insurance, privacy or other laws and regulations or otherwise engaged in misconduct, we could be held liable for their actions and be subject to regulatory scrutiny, which could adversely affect our reputation, business prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Additionally, past or future misconduct by agents that distribute our subsidiaries’ products or employees of our vendors could result in violations of law by us, regulatory sanctions and/or serious reputational or financial harm and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in all cases. Although we employ controls and procedures designed to monitor associates’ business decisions and to prevent us from taking excessive or inappropriate risks, associates may take such risks regardless of such controls and procedures.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Artificial intelligence could increase competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks to our businesses in ways that we cannot predict.

Technological developments in artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence (collectively, AI Technologies) and their current and potential future applications, including in the private investment, financial and insurance sectors, as well as the legal and regulatory frameworks within which they operate, are rapidly evolving. The full extent of current or future risks related thereto is not possible to predict and we may not be able to anticipate, prevent, mitigate or remediate all of the potential risks. challenges or impacts of such changes. AI Technologies could significantly disrupt the business models, investment strategies, operational processes, and markets in which we operate and subject us to increased competition, legal and regulatory risks and compliance costs, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. We also face competitive risks if we fail to adopt AI Technologies in a timely fashion.

Through our use of AI Technologies, we avail ourselves of the potential benefits, insights and efficiencies resulting from these technologies. For example, certain employees may use internal generative AI–powered tools to assist with tasks such as summarizing or searching documents and gathering information. However, these technologies also present a number of potential risks that cannot be fully mitigated. If the data we, our affiliates or third parties whose services we rely on use in connection with the development or deployment of AI Technologies (including employee data and data related to, or used in, workplace operations) is incomplete, inaccurate, inadequate or biased, it may result in flawed algorithms, reduce the effectiveness of AI Technologies, adversely impact our operations, and could subject us to legal and regulatory investigations and/or actions. There is also a risk that AI Technologies and data used therewith may be misused or misappropriated by our employees or third-party service providers or other third parties. Further, we may not be able to control how third‑party AI Technologies that we choose to use are developed or maintained, or how data we input is used or disclosed, even where we have sought contractual protections with respect to these matters. The misuse or misappropriation of our data, including material non‑public information, and unavoidable challenges associated with large‑scale data collection, training on large datasets and validating models could harm our reputation, result in investigations or enforcement actions and create competitive risk. Additionally, the volume and reliance on data and algorithms also make AI Technologies, and in turn us, more susceptible to cybersecurity threats, including compromising underlying models, training data, or other intellectual property. We could be exposed to risks to the extent of our use or third-party service providers’ use of AI Technologies in their business activities. While we may adopt and adjust policies and procedures governing personnel use of AI Technologies, there remains a risk of misuse, unavailability or failure of such technologies, or data leakage arising from their use, any of which could cause material harm to our business.

The use of AI Technologies also requires our compliance with legal or regulatory frameworks that are not fully developed or tested, and we may face litigation and regulatory actions related to our use of AI Technologies, including intellectual property infringement and misappropriation claims, that could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. There has been increased scrutiny, including from global regulators, regarding the use of “big data,” diligence of data sets and oversight of data vendors. Our ability to use data to gain insights into and manage our business may be limited in the future by regulatory scrutiny and legal developments.

As the legal and regulatory landscape for AI rapidly evolves, including in the EU and multiple US states, and key requirements are expected to come into effect in 2026, these new laws and regulations could materially increase compliance costs and constrain our use of AI Technologies. Furthermore, new AI-specific laws or guidance may impose requirements relating to transparency, explainability, data governance, testing/certification, monitoring, and auditability, and may require changes to our models, workflows, or use cases. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations— or the perception that our AI is unsafe, biased, or otherwise non-compliant—could result in investigations, enforcement actions, fines, contractual disputes, and private litigation, and could adversely affect adoption. Additionally, because different jurisdictions are taking different approaches to the regulation of AI Technologies, we may need to limit functionality, delay implementation and adoption of certain AI Technologies, or implement jurisdiction-specific variants. As a result, some of our competitors who may be subject to less stringent requirements may have greater flexibility and offer a more competitive product.

From time to time we may pursue acquisitions and block reinsurance transactions, and our ability to consummate these transactions on economically advantageous terms acceptable to us in the future is unknown.

From time to time we may pursue acquisitions of other insurance companies and businesses and block reinsurance transactions as a way to grow our business. Each of these transactions could require additional capital, systems development and skilled personnel. We may experience challenges identifying, financing, consummating and integrating such acquisitions and block reinsurance transactions. While we have reviewed various opportunities and have successfully completed transactions in the past to facilitate our growth, competition exists in the market for profitable blocks of insurance and businesses. Such competition is likely to intensify as insurance businesses become more attractive targets. It is also possible that merger and acquisition transactions will become less frequent. Thus, in the future, we may not be able to find suitable acquisition or block reinsurance opportunities that are available at attractive valuations, or at all. Even if we do find suitable opportunities, we may not be able to consummate the transactions on commercially acceptable terms. In addition, to the extent we determine to finance an acquisition or block reinsurance transaction, suitable financing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. Our acquisition and block reinsurance transaction activities may also divert the attention of our management from our business, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Interruption or other operational failures in telecommunications, information technology and other operational systems, including as a result of threat actors attacking those systems, or a failure to maintain the security, integrity, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on those systems, including as a result of human error, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are highly dependent on automated and information technology systems to record and process our internal transactions and transactions involving our customers, as well as to calculate reserves, perform actuarial analyses, value our investment portfolio and complete certain other components of our financial statements. We could experience a failure of one of these systems, our employees or agents could fail to monitor and implement enhancements or other modifications to a system in a timely and effective manner or our employees or agents could fail to complete all necessary data reconciliation or other conversion controls when implementing a new software system or modifications to an existing system. Additionally, threat actors who are able to circumvent our security measures and penetrate our information technology systems could access, view, misappropriate, alter or delete information in the systems, including personally identifiable customer information and proprietary business information. Information security risks also exist with respect to the use of portable electronic devices, such as laptops, which are particularly vulnerable to loss and theft.

We retain personally identifiable information and other confidential information, including in some instances sensitive personal information such as health-related information, in our information technology systems and those of our business partners. Despite our security and back-up measures, including periodic testing and our business continuity plan, our information technology systems and those of our business partners may be vulnerable to physical or electronic intrusions, computer viruses or other malicious codes, unauthorized or fraudulent access, cyber-attacks such as ransomware, social-engineering attacks, or denial-of-service attacks, programming or other human errors, and other breaches of cybersecurity and information security systems and similar disruptions, and we may not be able to anticipate, detect, repel or implement effective preventative measures against all such threats, particularly because the techniques used are increasingly sophisticated and constantly evolving. We may also be subject to disruptions of any of these systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control (for example, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, war, epidemics, pandemics, computer viruses, and electrical or telecommunications outages).

All of these risks are also applicable where we rely on third-party suppliers to provide products and services to us and/or our customers. We rely on products and services provided by third-party suppliers to operate certain critical business systems, including without limitation, cloud-based infrastructure, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, and other functions, which exposes us to supply-chain attacks or other business disruptions. While we require our critical third-party suppliers to implement and maintain what we believe to be effective cybersecurity and data protection measures, we cannot guarantee that third parties and infrastructure in our supply chain or our partners’ supply chains have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our information technology systems or the third-party information technology systems that support our insurance products. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third-party suppliers may not have adequate information security measures in place. In addition, if one of our third-party suppliers suffers a security breach, which has happened in the past, our response may be limited or more difficult because we may not have direct access to their systems, logs and other information related to the security breach.

The failure of any one of these systems for any reason, or errors made by our employees or agents, could in each case cause significant interruptions to our operations, which could harm our reputation, adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any compromise of the security of our information technology systems that results in inappropriate disclosure or use of confidential information, including personally identifiable customer information, could damage the reputation of our brand in the marketplace, deter purchases of our products, subject us to heightened regulatory scrutiny or significant civil and criminal liability and require us to incur significant technical, legal and other expenses in connection with our response, recovery, remediation, and compliance efforts. We are also subject to data privacy and security laws applicable to our business in relevant jurisdictions. See Item 1. Business–Regulation–Data, Cybersecurity, and Technology Regulation for more information.

We are subject to significant operating and financial restrictions imposed by our credit agreements and certain letters of credit, and we are also subject to certain operating restrictions imposed by the indentures to which we are a party.

On June 30, 2023, AHL, ALRe, Athene USA Corporation (AUSA) and AARe, as borrowers, entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (Credit Facility). Also on June 27, 2025, AHL, ALRe, Athene Annuity and Life Company (AAIA) and AARe, as borrowers, entered into a new revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (Liquidity Facility), which replaced our previous revolving credit agreement dated as of June 28, 2024. The Credit Facility, Liquidity Facility, and certain letters of credit also entered into contain various restrictive covenants which restrict the operations of our business. As a result of these restrictions, we may be limited in how we conduct our operations and may be unable to raise additional debt financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

In addition to the covenants to which we are subject pursuant to our Credit Facility, Liquidity Facility and certain letters of credit, AHL is also subject to certain limited covenants pursuant to the Indentures, dated January 12, 2018 and March 7, 2024, by and between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (Base Indentures), as supplemented by the applicable supplemental indentures (together with the Base Indentures, Indentures). The Indentures contain restrictive covenants which limit, subject to certain exceptions, AHL’s and, in certain instances, some or all of its subsidiaries’ ability to make fundamental changes, create liens on any capital stock of certain of AHL’s subsidiaries, and sell or dispose of the stock of certain of AHL’s subsidiaries.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Any future indebtedness we incur may also contain significant operating and financial restrictions.

Risks Relating to Liquidity and Regulatory Capital

As a financial services company, we are exposed to liquidity risk, which is the risk that we are unable to meet near-term obligations as they come due.

Liquidity risk is a manifestation of events that are driven by other risk types (e.g. market, policyholder behavior, operational). A liquidity shortfall may arise in the event of insufficient funding sources or an immediate and significant need for cash or collateral. In addition, it is possible that expected liquidity sources, such as our credit facilities, may be unavailable or inadequate to satisfy the liquidity demands described below. In particular, adverse economic and geopolitical conditions, including the armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, inflationary pressures and corresponding actions taken by the US Federal Reserve, plateauing or slowing economic growth, evolving global tariff or trade policies, and sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and other countries, continue to contribute to volatility in the financial markets. These developments may restrict the liquidity sources available to us and may also increase our liquidity needs. We primarily have liquidity exposure through our collateral market exposure, asset liability mismatch, dependence on the financial markets for funding and funding commitments. If a material liquidity demand is triggered and we are unable to satisfy the demand with the sources of liquidity readily available to us, it may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion of our liquidity and sources and uses of liquidity, including information about legal and regulatory limits on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends.

The amount of statutory capital that our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries have, or that they are required to hold, can vary significantly from time to time and is sensitive to a number of factors outside of our control.

Our US insurance subsidiaries are subject to state regulations that provide for minimum capital requirements (MCR) based on RBC formulas for life insurance companies relating to insurance, business, asset, interest rate and certain other risks. Similarly, our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries are subject to MCR imposed by the BMA through the BMA’s ECR and MMS.

In any particular year, our subsidiaries’ capital ratios and/or statutory surplus amounts may increase or decrease depending on a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control and some of which we can only partially control, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the amount of statutory income or loss generated by our insurance subsidiaries;

•the amount of additional capital our insurance subsidiaries must hold to support their business growth;

•changes in reserve requirements applicable to our insurance subsidiaries;

•changes in market value of certain securities in our investment portfolio;

•recognition of write-downs or other losses on investments held in our investment portfolio;

•changes in the credit ratings of investments held in our investment portfolio;

•changes in the value of certain derivative instruments;

•changes in interest rates;

•credit market volatility;

•changes in policyholder behavior;

•changes in corporate tax rates;

•changes to the RBC formulas and interpretations of the NAIC instructions with respect to RBC calculation methodologies; and

•changes to the ECR, BSCR, or TCL formulas and interpretations of the BMA’s instructions with respect to ECR, BSCR, or TCL calculation methodologies.

Further to NAIC activities with respect to RBC calculation methodologies, the NAIC has recently adopted and is currently considering a variety of reforms to its RBC framework, which could increase the capital requirements for our US insurance subsidiaries. For example, the NAIC recently adopted changes to certain statements of statutory accounting principles in connection with its principles-based bond project, which became effective on January 1, 2025, setting forth the factors to determine whether an investment in debt qualifies for reporting on an insurer’s statutory financial statement as a bond on Schedule D-1 as opposed to Schedule BA (other long-term invested assets), the latter of which could result, among other things, in the capital charge treatment of an investment being less favorable. The NAIC also adopted an interim change to the life RBC formula for year-end 2023 and 2024 reporting to increase the RBC base factor for residual tranches of structured securities, and will further consider whether to increase or decrease the base factor in future years. In addition, the NAIC is reviewing changes related to filing exempt status for certain securities, including a proposal that sets forth procedures for the NAIC’s review of investments that are exempt from filing with the NAIC’s Securities Valuation Office, which could result in, among other things, the capital charge treatment of the investment being less favorable.

In March 2024, the BMA published revised rules and new guidance notes to enhance Bermuda’s regulatory regime for commercial insurers. The material enhancement to the framework included updates to the technical provisions, the computation of the BSCR and the BSCR adjustment framework.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

NRSROs may also implement changes to their internal models, which differ from the RBC and BSCR capital models, that have the effect of increasing or decreasing the amount of statutory capital our subsidiaries must hold in order to maintain their current ratings. To the extent that one of our insurance subsidiary’s solvency or capital ratios is deemed to be insufficient by one or more NRSROs to maintain their current ratings, we may take actions either to increase the capitalization of the insurer or to reduce the capitalization requirements. If we are unable to accomplish such actions, NRSROs may view this as a reason for a ratings downgrade. Regulatory developments, including the NAIC’s adoption of amendments to its Insurance Holding Company System Regulatory Act and Model Regulation requiring, subject to certain exceptions, the filing of a confidential annual GCC and an annual LST with the IID, the lead state insurance regulator of our US insurance subsidiaries, may increase the amount of capital that we are required to hold and could result in us being subject to increased regulatory requirements.

If a subsidiary’s solvency or capital ratios reach certain minimum levels, it could subject us to further examination or corrective action imposed by our insurance regulators. Corrective actions may include limiting our subsidiaries’ ability to write additional business, increased regulatory supervision, or seizure or liquidation of the subsidiary’s business, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

Repurchase agreement programs subject us to potential liquidity and other risks.

We may engage in repurchase agreement transactions whereby we sell fixed income securities to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms or commercial banks, with a concurrent agreement to repurchase such securities at a determined future date. These repurchase agreements provide us with liquidity and in certain instances also allow us to earn spread income. Under such agreements we may be required to deliver additional securities or cash as margin to the counterparty if the value of the securities sold decreases prior to the repurchase date. If we are required to return significant amounts of cash collateral or post cash or securities as margin on short notice or have inadequate cash on hand as of the repurchase date, we may be forced to sell securities to meet such obligations and may have difficulty doing so in a timely manner or may be forced to sell securities in a volatile or illiquid market for less than we otherwise would have been able to realize under normal market conditions. Rehypothecation of subject securities by the counterparty may also create risk with respect to the counterparty’s ability to perform its obligations to tender such securities on the repurchase date. Such facilities may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all in the future.

Risks Relating to Market and Credit Risk

Our investments are subject to market and credit risks that could diminish their value and these risks could be greater during periods of extreme volatility or disruption in the financial and credit markets, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Our investments and derivative financial instruments are subject to risks of credit defaults and changes in market values. Periods of macroeconomic weakness or recession, heightened volatility or disruption in the financial and credit markets could increase these risks, potentially resulting in impairment of assets in our investment portfolio. Heightened geopolitical tensions, such as a deterioration in US-China relations or the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, including any resulting sanctions, export controls or other restrictive measures that may be imposed by countries against governmental or other entities in other countries could also lead to disruption, instability, and volatility in the global markets, which may affect our investments across negatively impacted sectors or geographies.

We are also subject to the risk that cash flows generated from the collateral underlying the structured products we own may differ from our expectations in timing or amount. In addition, many of our classes of investments, but in particular our alternative investments, may produce investment income that fluctuates significantly from period to period. Any event reducing the estimated fair value of these securities, other than on a temporary basis, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. If our investment manager, Apollo, fails to react appropriately to difficult market, economic and geopolitical conditions, our investment portfolio could incur material losses. Certain of our investments are more vulnerable to these risks than others, as described more fully below.

•Fixed maturity and equity securities – We have significant investments in fixed maturity securities, equity securities, and short-term investments, including our investments in investment grade and high-yield corporate bonds and structured products, which include RMBS and CLOs. An economic downturn affecting the issuers or underlying collateral of these securities, ratings downgrades affecting the issuers or guarantors of such securities, or similar trends and issues could cause the estimated fair value of our fixed income securities portfolio and our earnings to decline and the default rates of the fixed income securities in our portfolio to increase.

•Collateralized loan obligations – We also have significant investments in CLOs. Control over the CLOs in which we invest is exercised through collateral managers, who may take actions that could adversely affect our interests, and we may not have the right to direct collateral management. There may also be less information available to us regarding the underlying debt instruments held by CLOs than if we had invested directly in the debt of the underlying companies. Additionally, the estimated fair values of subordinated tranches of CLOs tend to be much more sensitive to adverse economic downturns and underlying borrower defaults than those of more senior securities. Furthermore, our investments in CLOs are also subject to liquidity risk as there is a limited market for CLOs. Accordingly, we may suffer unrealized depreciation and could incur realized losses in connection with the sale of our CLO interests.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have a risk management framework in place to identify, assess and prioritize risks, including the market and credit risks to which our investments are subject. As part of that framework, we test our investment portfolio based on various market scenarios. Under certain stressed market scenarios, unrealized losses on our investment portfolio could lead to material reductions in its carrying value. Under some extreme scenarios, total stockholders’ equity could be severely impacted prior to any potential market recovery. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

Interest rate fluctuations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Interest rate risk is a significant market risk for us. We define interest rate risk as the risk of an economic loss due to changes in interest rates. This risk arises from our holdings in interest rate-sensitive assets (e.g., fixed income assets) and liabilities (e.g., fixed deferred and immediate annuities). Substantial and sustained increases or decreases in market interest rates could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, including in the following respects:

•Significant changes in interest rates expose us to the risk of not realizing anticipated spreads between overall net investment earned rates and our cost of funds.

•Changes in interest rates may negatively affect the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains or avoid losses from the sale of those assets. Significant volatility in interest rates may have a larger adverse impact on certain assets in our investment portfolio that are highly structured or have limited liquidity.

•Changes in interest rates may cause changes in prepayment rates on certain fixed income assets within our investment portfolio. For instance, falling interest rates may accelerate the rate of prepayment on mortgage loans, while rising interest rates may decrease such prepayments below the level of our expectations. At the same time, falling interest rates may result in the lengthening of duration for our policies and liabilities due to the guaranteed minimum benefits contained in our products, while rising interest rates could lead to increased policyholder withdrawals and a shortening of duration for our liabilities. In either case, we could experience a mismatch in our assets and liabilities and potentially incur significant economic losses.

•During periods of declining interest rates or a prolonged period of low interest rates, our annuity products may be relatively more attractive to existing policyholders than other investment opportunities available to them. This may cause our assumptions regarding persistency to prove inaccurate as our policyholders opt not to surrender or take withdrawals from their products, which may result in us experiencing greater claim costs than we had anticipated and/or cash flow mismatches between assets and liabilities.

•During periods of declining interest rates, we may have to reinvest the cash we receive as interest or return of principal on our investments into lower-yielding high-grade instruments or seek higher-yielding, but higher-risk instruments in an effort to achieve returns comparable with those attained during more stable interest rate environments.

•Certain securitized financial assets are accounted for based on expectations of future cash flows. To the extent future interest rates are lower than we have projected, we will experience slower accretion of discounts on these assets and will have a lower yield on our portfolio.

•An extended period of declining interest rates or a prolonged period of low interest rates may cause us to decrease the crediting rates of our products, thereby reducing their attractiveness.

•In periods of rapidly increasing interest rates, withdrawals from and/or surrenders of annuity contracts may increase as policyholders choose to seek higher investment returns elsewhere. Obtaining cash to satisfy these obligations may require our insurance subsidiaries to liquidate fixed income investments at a time when market prices for those assets are depressed. This may result in realized investment losses.

•An increase in market interest rates could reduce the value of certain of our investments held as collateral under reinsurance agreements and require us to provide additional collateral, thereby reducing our available capital and potentially creating a need for additional capital which may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

We are subject to the credit risk of our counterparties, including ceding companies, reinsurers, plan sponsors and derivative counterparties.

We encounter various types of counterparty credit risk. Our insurance subsidiaries cede certain risk to third-party insurance companies that may cover large volumes of business and expose us to a concentration of credit risk with respect to such counterparties. Such subsidiaries may not have a security interest in the underlying assets and despite certain indemnification rights, we retain liability to our policyholders if a counterparty fails to perform. Certain of our insurance subsidiaries also reinsure liabilities from other insurance companies and these subsidiaries may be negatively impacted by changes in the ceding companies’ ratings, creditworthiness, and market perception, or any policy administration issues. We also assume pension obligations from plan sponsors that expose us to the credit risk of the plan sponsor. In addition, we may be exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by our derivative agreement counterparties. If any of these counterparties are not able to satisfy its obligations to us or third parties, including policyholders, we may not achieve our targeted returns and our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow may be materially adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our investment portfolio may be subject to concentration risk, particularly with respect to single issuers, including Athora, among others; industries, including financial services; and asset classes, including real estate.

We face single issuer concentration risk both in the context of alternative investments, in which we occasionally hold significant equity positions, and large asset trades, in which we generally hold significant debt positions. Our most significant concentration risk exposure arising in the context of alternative investments, on a risk-adjusted basis, is our investment in Athora, an insurance holding company focused on the European life insurance market. Given our significant exposure to these issuers, we are subject to the risks inherent in their business. For example, as a life insurer, Athora is subject to credit risk with respect to its investment portfolio and mortality risk with respect to its product liabilities, each of which may be exacerbated by unforeseen events. Further, Athora has significant European operations, which expose it to volatile economic conditions and risks relating to EU countries and withdrawals thereof. In addition, Athora is subject to multiple legal and regulatory regimes that may hinder or prevent it from achieving its business objectives. To the extent that we suffer a significant loss on our investment in these issuers, including Athora, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected

In addition, from time to time, in order to facilitate certain large asset trades and in exchange for commitment fees, we may commit to purchasing a larger portion of an investment than we ultimately expect to retain, and in such instances we are reliant upon Apollo’s ability to syndicate the transaction to other investors. If Apollo is unsuccessful in its syndication efforts, we may be exposed to greater concentration risk than what we would deem desirable from a risk appetite perspective and the commitment fee that we receive may not adequately compensate us for this risk.

We also have significant investments in nonbank lenders focused on providing financing to individuals or entities. As a result, through these investments, we have significant exposure to credit risk. In addition to the concentration risk arising from our investments in single issuers within the nonbank lending sector of the financial services industry, we have significant exposure to the financial services industry more broadly as a result of the composition of investments in our investment portfolio. Economic volatility or any further macroeconomic, regulatory or other changes having an adverse impact on the financial services industry more broadly, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

A significant portion of our net invested assets is invested in real estate-related assets. Any significant decline in the value of real estate generally or the occurrence of any of the risks described elsewhere in this report with respect to our real estate-related investments could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, through our investments in commercial mortgage loans (CML) and CMBS, we have exposure to certain categories of commercial property, including office buildings, retail, that have been adversely affected by the spread of COVID-19 and the work from home trend. In addition, the CML we hold, and the CML underlying the CMBS that we hold, face both default and delinquency risk.

Many of our invested assets are relatively illiquid and we may fail to realize profits from these assets for a considerable period of time, or lose some or all of the principal amount we invest in these assets if we are required to sell our invested assets at a loss at inopportune times.

Many of our investments are in securities that are not publicly traded or that otherwise lack liquidity, such as our privately placed fixed maturity securities, below investment grade securities, investments in mortgage loans and alternative investments. These relatively illiquid types of investments are recorded at fair value. If a material liquidity demand is triggered and we are unable to satisfy the demand with the sources of liquidity available to us, we could be forced to sell certain of our assets and there can be no assurance that we would be able to sell them for the values at which such assets are recorded and we might be forced to sell them at significantly lower prices. In many cases, we may also be prohibited by contract or applicable securities laws from selling such securities for a period of time. Thus, it may be impossible or costly for us to liquidate positions rapidly in order to meet unexpected policyholder withdrawal or recapture obligations. This potential mismatch between the liquidity of our assets and liabilities could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Further, governmental and regulatory authorities periodically review legislative and regulatory initiatives, and may promulgate new or revised, or adopt changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing, rules and regulations at any time that may impact our investments. For example, Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act governs the submission of quotes into quotation systems by broker-dealers and has historically been applied to the over-the-counter equity markets. Effective October 30, 2023, the SEC adopted an order exempting securities issued pursuant to Rule 144 from the quotation restrictions of Rule 15c2-11. However, for many other privately placed fixed income securities, Rule 15c2-11 restricts the ability of market participants to publish quotations. Such change in regulatory requirements could disrupt market liquidity and cause securities in our investment portfolio that are not publicly traded, such as our privately placed fixed maturity securities and below investment grade securities, to lose value, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our investments linked to real estate are subject to credit risk, market risk, servicing risk, loss from catastrophic events and other risks, which could diminish the value that we obtain from such investments.

A substantial amount of our net invested assets is linked to real estate, including fixed maturity and equity securities, such as CMBS and RMBS, and mortgage loans, consisting of both CML and RML. Defaults by third parties in the payment or performance of their obligations underlying these assets could reduce our investment income and realized investment gains or result in the recognition of investment losses. For example, an unexpectedly high rate of default on mortgages held by a CMBS or RMBS may limit substantially the ability of the issuer of such security to make payments to holders of such securities, reducing the value of those securities or rendering them worthless. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage securitizations that include “sub-prime” or “alt-A” mortgages. As of December 31, 2025, 2.2% of our net invested assets linked to real estate were invested in such “sub-prime” mortgages and “alt-A” mortgages. Changes in laws and other regulatory developments relating to mortgage loans may impact the investments of our portfolio linked to real estate in the future. Additionally, cash flow variability arising from an unexpected acceleration in the rate of mortgage prepayments can be significant, and could cause a decline in the estimated fair value of certain “interest only” securities.

The CML we hold, and CML underlying the CMBS that we hold, face both default and delinquency risk. Legislative proposals that would allow or require modifications to the terms of CML, an increase in the delinquency or default rate of our CML portfolio or geographic or sector concentration within our CML portfolio could materially and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our investments in RML and RMBS also present credit risk. Higher than expected rates of default or loss severities on our RML investments and the RML underlying our RMBS investments may adversely affect the value of such investments. A significant number of the mortgages underlying our RML and RMBS investments are concentrated in certain geographic areas. Any event that adversely affects the economic or real estate market in any of these areas could have a disproportionately adverse effect on our RML and RMBS investments. A rise in home prices, concern regarding further changes to government policies designed to alter prepayment behavior, increased availability of housing-related credit and lower interest rates could combine to increase expected or actual prepayment speeds, which would likely lower the valuations of RML and the valuations of RMBS that we carry at a premium to par prices or that are structured as interest only securities and inverse interest only securities. In general, any significant weakness in the broader macro economy or significant problems in a particular real estate market may cause a decline in the value of residential properties securing the mortgages in that market, thereby increasing the risk of delinquency, default and foreclosure. This could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our credit loss experience.

Control over the underlying assets in all of our real estate-related investments is exercised through servicers that we do not control. If a servicer is not vigilant in seeing that borrowers make their required periodic payments, borrowers may be less likely to make these payments, resulting in a higher frequency of delinquency and default. If a servicer takes longer to liquidate nonperforming mortgages, our losses related to those loans may be higher than we expected. Any failure by a servicer to service RMLs in which we are invested or which underlie a RMBS in which we are invested in a prudent, commercially reasonable manner could negatively impact the value of our investments in the related RML or RMBS.

Our investments in assets linked to real estate are also subject to loss in the event of catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and fires.

In addition to the credit and market risk that we face in relation to all of our real estate-related investments, certain of these investments may expose us to various environmental, regulatory and other risks. Any adverse environmental claim or regulatory action against us resulting from our real-estate related investments could adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our investment portfolio may include investments in securities of issuers based outside the US, including emerging markets, which may be riskier than securities of US issuers.

We may invest in securities of issuers organized or based outside the US that may involve heightened risks in comparison to the risks of investing in US securities, including unfavorable changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations, reduced and less reliable information about issuers and markets, less stringent accounting standards, illiquidity of securities and markets, higher brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and custody fees, local economic or political instability and greater market risk in general. In particular, investing in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries involves additional risks, such as exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature than, and to political systems that can be expected to have less stability than, those of developed countries; national policies that restrict investment by foreigners in certain issuers or industries of that country; the absence of legal structures governing foreign investment and private property; an increased risk of foreclosure on collateral located in such countries; a lack of liquidity due to the small size of markets for securities of issuers located in emerging markets; and price volatility.

As of December 31, 2025, 37% of the carrying value of our available-for-sale (AFS) securities, including related parties, was comprised of securities of issuers based outside of the US and debt securities of foreign governments. Of our total AFS securities, including related parties, as of December 31, 2025, 7% were invested in CLOs of Cayman Islands issuers (for which the underlying assets are largely loans to US issuers) and 30% were invested in other non-US issuers. While we invest in securities of non-US issuers, the currency denominations of such securities usually match the currency denominations of the liabilities that the assets support. When the currency denominations of the assets and liabilities do not match, we generally undertake hedging activities to eliminate or mitigate currency mismatch risk. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Investment Portfolio for further information on international exposure.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Additionally, investing in securities and other financial instruments of companies organized or based outside the US and operating outside the US may also expose us to increased compliance risks, as well as higher compliance costs to comply with US and non-US anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and sanctions laws and regulations. These factors are outside our control and may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity and the value of investments, and we may not be able to or may choose not to manage our exposure to

these conditions.

While we seek to hedge foreign currency risks, foreign currency fluctuations may reduce our net income and our capital levels, adversely affecting our financial condition.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk through the investments in our investment portfolio that are denominated in currencies other than the US dollar or are issued by entities which primarily conduct their business outside of the US, as well as insurance liabilities, funding agreements and other transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk through our investment in certain subsidiaries domiciled in foreign jurisdictions, both as a result of our direct investment and as a result of currency mismatches between the assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries. We may employ various strategies (including hedging) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that these exposures are not fully hedged or the hedges are ineffective, our results or equity may be reduced by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Climate change-related risks and regulatory and other efforts to address climate change could adversely affect our business.

We face a number of risks associated with climate change including both transition and physical risks. The transition risks that could impact our company and our investment portfolio include those risks related to the impact of US and foreign climate-related legislation and regulation, as well as risks arising from climate-related business trends. Moreover, our investments are subject to risks stemming from the physical impacts of climate change. In particular, climate change may impact asset prices, increase insurance costs and decrease the value of our investments linked to real estate. For example, rising sea levels may lead to decreases in real estate values in coastal areas. We have significant concentrations of real estate investments and collateral underlying investments linked to real estate in areas of the US prone to severe weather and climate events (such as wildfires, droughts, hurricanes and floods), including California, sections of the Northeastern US, the South Atlantic states and the Gulf Coast.

Climate change-related regulations or interpretations of existing laws have resulted, and may continue to result, in enhanced disclosure obligations that could negatively affect our investments and also materially increase our regulatory burden. We also face business trend-related climate risks. Certain investors are increasingly taking climate-related risks into account when determining whether to invest in our preferred stock, debt securities and FABN program. Conversely, certain investors may be concerned if we take climate change-related risks into account when making investment decisions. Our reputation and investor relationships could be damaged as a result of our involvement in certain industries, investments or transactions associated with activities perceived to be causing or exacerbating climate change, as well as any decisions we make to continue to conduct or change our activities in response to considerations relating to climate change.

Furthermore, our financial and operational results could be impacted by emerging risk and changes to the regulatory landscape related to sustainability-related matters. New and evolving US and non-US legislation, policies and regulations, including climate-related or other sustainability-related disclosure requirements in the US, the European Union and the UK, may result in higher regulatory, compliance and reporting costs, increased capital expenditures or changes in our investment practices. Changes in such regulations may also affect asset prices, resulting in realized or unrealized losses on our investments. Numerous jurisdictions in which we operate have also proposed or adopted legislation or regulatory initiatives that oppose, restrict or otherwise affect investment strategies that incorporate sustainability‑related considerations, which may create operational challenges and constraints for our products and activities (including our funding agreement‑backed note program and issuances of preferred stock and debt securities). In addition, differing or inconsistent requirements across jurisdictions may increase the complexity and cost of our compliance efforts. Any violation, even if alleged, or failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Undertaking initiatives to address sustainability-related matters, including those related to human capital management such as talent attraction and development, DEI and employee health and safety, could increase our cost of doing business. Further, any actual or perceived failure to meet the expectations of regulators, investors or other stakeholders relating to sustainability-related practices could harm our reputation.

Financial markets have been subject to inflationary pressures, and continued heightened inflation may adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Financial markets have been subject to inflationary pressures, and we cannot predict the extent to which heightened inflation may be transitory. Certain of our products are sensitive to inflation rate fluctuations, and a sustained increase in the inflation rate may adversely affect our business and results of operations. For example, failure to accurately anticipate higher inflation and factor it into our product pricing assumptions may result in mispricing of our products, which could materially and adversely impact our results of operations. Inflation also impacts our investment portfolio and nature of our liability profile, thereby impacting our investment portfolio’s rate of investment return and corresponding investment income. Continued heightened inflation could adversely impact returns on our investment portfolio and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Our Relationship with Apollo

There are potential conflicts of interests between Apollo, our corporate parent, and the holders of our preferred stock.

AGM is the beneficial owner of 100% of our common stock and controls all of the voting power to elect members to our board of directors. As a result, AGM could exercise significant influence and control over corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including approval of significant corporate transactions, appointment of members of our management, approval of the termination of our investment management agreements (IMA) and determination of our corporate policies.

The interests of our common stockholder, AGM, may conflict with the interests of our preferred stockholders. Actions that AGM takes as our sole common stockholder may not be favorable to our preferred stockholders. For example, the concentration of voting power held by AGM, the significant representation on our board of directors by individuals who are employees of AGM, or the limitations on our ability to terminate IMAs with Apollo covering assets backing reserves and surplus in ACRA could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of us or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination which a preferred stockholder may otherwise view favorably. AGM may, in its role as our sole common stockholder, vote in favor of a merger, takeover or other business combination transaction which our preferred stockholders might not consider in their best interests, including those transactions in which the AGM may have an interest. Further, AGM may cause us to declare a cash dividend on shares of our common stock, including dividends of a greater amount than in prior years.

Our audit committee and our disinterested directors analyze these conflicts to protect against potential harm resulting from conflicts of interest in connection with transactions that we have entered into or will enter into with Apollo or its affiliates. Specifically, our related party transactions policy requires that the audit committee approve certain material transactions by and between us and Apollo or its affiliates, including entering into material agreements or the imposition of any new fee or increase in the rate at which fees are charged to us, subject to certain exceptions. See Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. These conflicts provisions will not, by themselves, prohibit transactions with Apollo or its affiliates. In addition, our audit committee may exclusively rely on information provided by Apollo, including with respect to fees charged by Apollo or its affiliates, and with respect to the historical performance or fees of unrelated service providers used for comparison purposes, and may not independently verify the information so provided.

Apollo charges us management fees based on the composition and value of our assets. Substantially all of our net invested assets are managed by Apollo. Our investment policies permit Apollo to invest in securities of issuers with which it is affiliated, including funds managed by Apollo. Apollo may make such investments at its discretion, subject only to the approval of our audit committee in certain cases and/or certain regulatory approvals. Accordingly, Apollo may have a conflict of interest in managing our investments, which could increase amounts payable by us for asset management services or cause us to receive a lower return on our investments than if our investment portfolio was managed by another party. Asset management fees are paid based on the value of our net invested assets regardless of the results of our operations or investment performance. Therefore, Apollo could be incentivized to exercise its influence to cause us to increase our net invested assets, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We have made investments in collective investment vehicles managed by Apollo affiliates, including seed investments in new investment vehicles or investment strategies offered by Apollo which have limited track records, as well as junior and subordinated tranches of structured investment vehicles which may assist Apollo in meeting certain regulatory requirements applicable to Apollo as the sponsor of such vehicles. Such Apollo affiliates may charge us or such vehicles management or other fees, that independently, or when taken together with other fees charged by Apollo, may not be the lowest fee available for similar investment management services offered by unrelated managers. In addition, it is possible that such unrelated managers may perform better than Apollo. Apollo is not obligated to devote any specific amount of time to our affairs, or to the funds in which we are invested. Affiliates of Apollo manage and expect to continue to manage other client accounts, some of which have objectives similar to ours, including collective investment vehicles managed by Apollo and in which Apollo may have an equity interest. We will compete with other Apollo clients not only in terms of time spent on management of our portfolio, but also for allocation of assets that do not have significant supply. In addition, there may be different Apollo investment teams investing in the same strategies for different clients, including us. As a result, we may compete with other Apollo clients for the same investment opportunities, potentially disadvantaging us. Apollo may also manage accounts whose asset management fee schedules, investment objectives and policies differ from ours, which may cause Apollo to allocate securities in a manner that may have an adverse effect on our ability to source appropriate assets and meet our strategic objectives.

Under our fee agreement with ISG (Fee Agreement), Apollo receives higher sub-allocation fees for investing in asset classes with higher alpha generating abilities. See Note 15 – Related Parties–Apollo–Fee structure to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the sub-allocation fees. There is no assurance that higher returns will be achieved by investing in these asset classes. Accordingly, Apollo is incentivized to increase the amount of investments subject to higher sub-allocation fees, which may result in greater risk to the returns in our investment portfolio. While we believe that we and Apollo have each implemented appropriate risk governance regarding asset allocation, it is possible that such incentives could result in increased holdings of assets with higher alpha generating abilities, and if such investments fail to perform, it could have an adverse impact on our investment results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

From time to time, Apollo may acquire investments on our behalf which are senior or junior to other instruments of the same issuer that are held by, or acquired for, another Apollo client (for example, we may acquire junior debt while another Apollo client may acquire senior debt). In the event such an issuer enters bankruptcy or becomes otherwise insolvent, the client holding securities which are senior in preference may have the right to aggressively pursue the issuer’s assets to fully satisfy the issuer’s indebtedness to the client, and the client holding the investment which is junior in the capital structure may not have access to sufficient assets of the issuer to completely satisfy its claim against the issuer and may suffer a loss. It is our understanding that Apollo has adopted procedures that are designed to enable it to address such conflicts and to ensure that clients are treated fairly and equitably in these situations. However, given Apollo’s fiduciary obligations to the other client, Apollo may be unable to manage our investment in the same manner as would have been possible without the conflict of interest. In such event, we may receive a lower return on such investment than if another Apollo client was not in a different part of the capital structure of the issuer.

Apollo and its affiliates have diverse and expansive private equity, credit and real estate investment platforms, investing in numerous companies across many industries. If Apollo acquires or forms a company with a business strategy competing with ours, additional conflicts may arise between us and Apollo or between us and such company in executing our plans, including with respect to the allocation of investments or the ability to execute on corporate opportunities. Our certificate of incorporation provides that Apollo and its members and affiliates (including certain of our directors) generally have no duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do.

Apollo and its affiliates regularly obtain material non-public information regarding various potential acquisition or trading targets. When Apollo and its affiliates obtain material non-public information regarding a potential acquisition or trading target, Apollo becomes restricted from trading in such acquisition or trading target’s outstanding securities. Some of such securities may be potential investment opportunities for us, or may be owned by us and be potential disposition opportunities. The inability of Apollo to purchase or sell such investments on our behalf as a result of these restrictions may result in us acquiring investments that may otherwise underperform the restricted investments that Apollo would have acquired, or incurring losses on investments that Apollo would have sold, on our behalf, had such restrictions not been in place.

James R. Belardi, our Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, also serves as a member of the board of directors and an executive officer of AGM and as Chief Executive Officer of ISG and receives compensation from ISG for services he provides. Mr. Belardi also owns a profits interest in ISG and in connection with such interest receives a specified percentage of other fee streams earned by Apollo from us, including sub-allocation fees. Mr. Belardi is also a director of the general partner of ISG. Accordingly, Mr. Belardi’s involvement as a member of our board of directors and management team, as an officer and director of AGM, and as an officer of ISG and director of ISG’s general partner may lead to a conflict of interest. Grant Kvalheim, our Chief Executive Officer, also serves as an executive officer of AGM and a Partner of Apollo, and Louis-Jacques Tanguy, our Chief Financial Officer, is a Partner and employee of Apollo. Furthermore, certain members of our board of directors also serve on the board of directors of AGM or ISG or are employees of Apollo or its affiliates, which could also lead to potential conflicts of interest. See Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

We rely on our investment management agreements with Apollo for the management of our investment portfolio. Apollo may terminate these arrangements at any time, and there are limitations on our ability to terminate investment management agreements covering assets backing reserves and surplus in ACRA, which may adversely affect our investment results.

We rely on Apollo to provide us with investment management services pursuant to various IMAs. Apollo relies in part on its ability to attract and retain key people, and the loss of services of one or more of the members of Apollo or any of its subsidiaries’ senior management could delay or prevent Apollo from fully implementing our investment strategy.

ACRA System IMA Termination Rights

The Fee Agreement provides that, with respect to IMAs covering assets backing reserves and surplus in ACRA, whether from internal reinsurance, third party reinsurance, or inorganic transactions (ACRA System IMAs), among us or any of our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and ISG, or another member of the Apollo Group (as defined in our certificate of incorporation) on the other hand, we may not, and will cause our subsidiaries not to, terminate any ACRA System IMA, other than on June 4, 2023 or any two year anniversary of such date (each such date, an IMA Termination Election Date) and any termination on an IMA Termination Election Date requires (1) the approval of two-thirds of our Independent Directors (as defined in our bylaws) and (2) prior written notice to ISG or the applicable Apollo subsidiary of such termination at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, prior to an IMA Termination Election Date. If our Independent Directors make such election to terminate and notice of such termination is delivered, the termination will be effective no earlier than the second anniversary of the applicable IMA Termination Election Date (IMA Termination Effective Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, our board of directors may only terminate an ACRA System IMA on an IMA Termination Election Date for “AHL Cause” as defined in the Fee Agreement and pursuant to the provisions set forth therein. The limitations on our ability to terminate the ACRA System IMAs with the applicable Apollo subsidiary could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Fee Agreement gives our Independent Directors complete discretion, while acting in good faith, as to whether to determine if an AHL Cause event has occurred with respect to any ACRA System IMA with the applicable Apollo subsidiary, and therefore our Independent Directors are under no obligation to make, and accordingly may exercise their discretion never to make, such a determination.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The boards of directors of our subsidiaries may terminate an ACRA System IMA with the applicable Apollo subsidiary relating to the applicable subsidiary if such subsidiary’s board of directors determines that such termination is required in the exercise of its fiduciary duties. If our subsidiaries do elect to terminate any such agreement, other than as provided above, we may be in breach of the Fee Agreement, which could subject us to regulatory scrutiny, expose us to stockholder lawsuits and could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Termination by Apollo

We may be adversely affected if Apollo elects to terminate an IMA at a time when such agreement remains advantageous to us. We depend upon Apollo to implement our investment strategy. Further, Apollo does not face the restrictions described above with regards to its ability to terminate any ACRA System IMA with us and may terminate such agreements at any time. If Apollo chooses to terminate such agreements, there is no assurance that we could find a suitable replacement or that certain of the opportunities made available to us as a result of our relationship with Apollo would be offered by a suitable replacement, and therefore our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted by our failure to retain a satisfactory investment manager.

Interruption or other operational failures in telecommunications, information technology and other operational systems at Apollo or a failure to maintain the security, integrity, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on Apollo’s systems, including as a result of human error, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are highly dependent on Apollo, as our investment manager, to maintain information technology and other operational systems to record and process its transactions with respect to our investment portfolio, which includes providing information that enables us to value our investment portfolio and may affect our financial statements. Apollo could experience a failure of one of these systems, its employees or agents could fail to monitor and implement enhancements or other modifications to a system in a timely and effective manner or its employees or agents could fail to complete all necessary data reconciliation or other conversion controls when implementing a new software system or modifications to an existing system. Additionally, anyone who is able to circumvent Apollo’s security measures and penetrate its information technology systems could access, view, misappropriate, alter or delete information in the systems, including proprietary information relating to our investment portfolio. The maintenance and implementation of these systems at Apollo is not within our control. Should Apollo’s systems fail to accurately record information pertaining to our investment portfolio, we may inadvertently include inaccurate information in our financial statements and experience a lapse in our internal control over financial reporting. The failure of any one of these systems at Apollo for any reason, or errors made by its employees or agents, could cause significant interruptions to its operations, which could adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The historical investment portfolio performance of Apollo should not be considered as indicative of the future results of our investment portfolio, or our future results or our ability to declare and pay dividends on our preferred stock.

Our investment portfolio’s returns have benefited historically from investment opportunities and general market conditions that currently may not exist and may not repeat themselves, and there can be no assurance Apollo will be able to avail itself of profitable investment opportunities in the future. Furthermore, the historical returns of our investments managed by Apollo are not directly linked to our ability to declare and pay dividends on our preferred stock, which is affected by various factors, one of which is the value of our investment portfolio. In addition, Apollo is compensated based on the aggregate value of the assets it manages on our behalf and on the allocation of those assets to certain fee categories, rather than on the investment returns achieved. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee Apollo will be able to achieve any particular return for our investment portfolio in the future.

The returns that we expect to achieve on our investment portfolio may not be realized.

We make certain assumptions regarding our future financial performance, including but not limited to, target returns on our organic and inorganic channels and target net spreads. Included within these assumptions are estimates regarding the level of returns to be achieved on our investment portfolio, including assumptions regarding the expected future performance of assets directly originated by Apollo. These returns are subject to market and other factors and we can give no assurance that they will ultimately be achieved. Actual results may differ, perhaps significantly, from our current expectations. To the extent that such differences occur, our future financial performance may be materially and adversely different than that communicated herein and elsewhere.

Risks Relating to Insurance and Other Regulatory Matters

Our industry is highly regulated and we are subject to significant legal restrictions and obligations, and these restrictions and obligations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and prospects.

We are subject to a complex and extensive array of laws and regulations that are administered and enforced by many regulators, including the BMA, US state insurance regulators, US state securities administrators, US state banking authorities, the SEC, FINRA, the DOL, and the IRS. See Item 1. Business–Regulation for a summary of certain of the laws and regulations applicable to our business. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to administrative penalties imposed by a particular governmental or self-regulatory authority, unanticipated costs associated with remedying such failure or other claims, harm to our reputation, revocation of our certificate of incorporation or interruption of our operations, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to these restrictions, guaranty associations may subject member insurers, including us, to assessments that require the insurers to pay funds to cover contractual obligations under insurance policies issued by insurance companies that become impaired or insolvent. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on each member insurer doing business in a particular state on the basis of their proportionate share of the premiums written by all member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired or insolvent insurer previously engaged. Most states limit assessments in any year to 2% of the insurer’s average annual premium for the three years preceding the calendar year in which the impaired insurer became impaired or insolvent. Although we have historically not paid material amounts in connection with these assessments, we cannot accurately predict the magnitude of such amounts in the future, or accurately predict which past or future insolvencies of other insurers could lead to such assessments. If material, such future assessments may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows, and any liability we have previously established for these potential assessments may not be adequate.

In addition to the foregoing risks, the financial services industry is the focus of increased regulatory scrutiny as various US state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations conduct inquiries and investigations into the products and practices of the companies within this industry. Governmental authorities and standard setters in the US and worldwide (including the IAIS) have become increasingly interested in potential risks posed by the insurance industry as a whole, and to commercial and financial activities and systems in general, as indicated by the development of the ICS by the IAIS to be applicable to IAIGs, as well as the US NAIC’s adoption of the GCC and LST. The IID has adopted the GCC and LST amendments, which are applicable to us. In February 2024, the IID identified AGM as meeting the criteria as an IAIG and further identified AHL as the Head of the IAIG. As a result of these identifications, Athene will be subject to the relevant capital standard that the US applies to IAIGs. At this time, we do not expect a significant impact on AHL’s capital position or capital structure; however, we cannot fully predict with certainty the impact (if any) on AHL’s capital position or capital structure and any other burdens being named an IAIG may impose on AHL or its insurance affiliates. See Item 1. Business–Regulation–Group Oversight and Capital Framework for further discussion. While we cannot predict the exact nature, timing or scope of possible governmental initiatives, there may be increased regulatory intervention in the insurance and financial services industry in the future.

Our failure to obtain or maintain licenses and/or other regulatory approvals as required for the operations of our insurance subsidiaries may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and prospects.

Each regulator retains the authority to license insurers in its jurisdiction and an insurer generally may not operate in a jurisdiction in which it is not licensed. We have US domiciled insurance subsidiaries that collectively are currently licensed to do business in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Our ability to retain these licenses depends on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to meet requirements established by the NAIC and adopted by each state, such as RBC standards and surplus requirements. Some of the factors influencing these requirements, particularly factors such as changes in equity market levels, the value of certain derivative instruments that do not receive hedge accounting, the value and credit ratings of certain fixed-income and equity securities in our investment portfolio, interest rate changes, changes to the applicable RBC formulas and the interpretation of the NAIC’s instructions with respect to RBC calculation methodologies, are out of our control.

In addition, licensing regulations differ as to products and jurisdictions and may be subject to interpretation as to whether certain licenses are required with respect to the manner in which we may sell or service some of our products in certain jurisdictions. The degree of complexity is heightened in the context of products that are issued through our institutional channel, including our pension group annuity products, where one product may cover risks in multiple jurisdictions.

If the factors discussed above adversely affect us or a state regulator interprets a licensing requirement differently than we do and we are unable to meet the requirements above, our subsidiaries could lose their licenses to do business in certain states; be subject to additional regulatory oversight; have their licenses suspended; be subject to rescission requests, fines, administrative penalties or payments to policyholders; or be subject to seizure of assets. A loss or suspension of any of our subsidiaries’ licenses or an inability of any of our insurance subsidiaries to be able to sell or service certain of our insurance products in one or more jurisdictions may negatively impact our reputation in the insurance market and result in our subsidiaries’ inability to write new business, distribute funds or pursue our investment/overall business strategy.

The licenses currently held by our insurance subsidiaries are limited in scope with respect to the products that may be sold within the respective jurisdictions. To the extent that our insurance subsidiaries seek to sell products for which we are not currently licensed, such subsidiaries would be required to become licensed in each of the respective jurisdictions in which such products are expected to be sold. There is no assurance that our insurance subsidiaries would be able to obtain the relevant licenses and the subsidiaries’ inability to do so may impair our competitive position and reduce our growth prospects, causing our financial position, results of operations and cash flows to fall below our current expectations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries, as Bermuda domiciled insurers, are also required to maintain licenses. Each of our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries is licensed as a reinsurer in Bermuda. Bermuda insurance statutes and regulations and policies of the BMA require that our Bermuda reinsurance subsidiaries, among other things, maintain a minimum level of capital and surplus; satisfy solvency standards; restrict dividends, distributions and reductions of capital; obtain prior approval or provide notification to the BMA, as the case may be, of ownership, transfer and disposition of stockholder controller shares; maintain a head office and have certain officers resident in Bermuda; appoint and maintain a principal representative in Bermuda; and provide for the performance of certain periodic examinations of itself and its financial condition. A failure to meet these conditions may result in the suspension or revocation of a Bermuda reinsurance subsidiary’s license to do business as a reinsurance company in Bermuda, which would mean that such Bermuda reinsurance subsidiary would not be able to enter into any new reinsurance contracts until the suspension ended or it became licensed in another jurisdiction. Any such suspension or revocation of a Bermuda reinsurance subsidiary’s license would negatively impact its and our reputation in the reinsurance marketplace and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

UK law imposes licensing and other regulatory requirements in respect of insurance and reinsurance business carried out in the UK. Certain of our subsidiaries are UK tax resident companies but do not have the UK regulatory licenses required to write or carry out insurance business in the UK. Accordingly, their business does not involve transactions with UK domiciled clients and we believe that their operations and governance arrangements are otherwise undertaken to comply with UK regulatory requirements. ALReI is a Bermuda domiciled and regulated reinsurance subsidiary that is not a UK tax resident and does not have the UK regulatory licenses required to write or carry out insurance business in the UK. ALReI assumed reinsurance business from a UK domiciled client in December 2019, and will continue to seek other such opportunities going forward, in accordance with and as permitted under UK law. We believe ALReI’s business, operations and governance arrangements are undertaken to comply with UK law. We will continue to monitor developments in UK regulation to seek to cause the UK tax resident companies and ALReI to comply with UK law and regulation at all times; however, there can be no assurance that the UK regulatory authorities will not interpret the application of the relevant rules in a manner that differs from our interpretation and challenge the existing or future arrangements.

The process of obtaining licenses is time consuming and costly, and we may not be able to become licensed in jurisdictions other than those in which our subsidiaries are currently licensed and/or for products for which we are currently licensed. The modification of the conduct of our business resulting from our and our subsidiaries becoming licensed in certain jurisdictions or for certain products could significantly and negatively affect our business. In addition, our inability to comply with insurance statutes and regulations could materially and adversely affect our business by limiting our ability to conduct business, as well as subjecting us to penalties and fines.

Changes in legal and regulatory requirements, including through the adoption of executive orders, governing the insurance industry or otherwise applicable to our business, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and prospects.

Certain of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are summarized in Item 1. Business–Regulation. Changes in legal and regulatory requirements, including through the adoption of executive orders, relevant to our business may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and prospects. Certain of the risks associated with these changes are discussed in greater detail below.

The Dodd-Frank Act made sweeping changes to the regulation of financial services entities, products and markets. Historically, the federal government had not directly regulated the insurance business. However, the Dodd-Frank Act generally provides for enhanced federal supervision of financial institutions, including some insurance companies in defined circumstances, as well as financial activities that are deemed to represent a systemic risk to financial stability or the economy. Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are relevant to us, our competitors or those entities with which we do business, including, but not limited to: the establishment of a comprehensive federal regulatory regime with respect to derivatives; the establishment of consolidated federal regulation and resolution authority over SIFIs and/or systemically important financial activities; the establishment of the Federal Insurance Office; changes to the regulation of broker-dealers and investment advisors; changes to the regulation of reinsurance; changes to regulations affecting the rights of stockholders; the imposition of additional regulation over credit rating agencies; and the imposition of concentration limits on financial institutions that restrict the amount of credit that may be extended to a single person or entity.

Legislative or regulatory requirements imposed by or promulgated in connection with the Dodd-Frank Act may impact us in many ways, including, but not limited to: placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competition or other financial services entities; changing the competitive landscape of the financial services sector or the insurance industry; making it more expensive for us to conduct our business; requiring the reallocation of significant company resources to government affairs; increasing our legal and compliance related activities and the costs associated therewith as the Dodd-Frank Act may permit the preemption of certain state laws when inconsistent with international agreements, such as the EU Covered Agreement and the UK Covered Agreement; and otherwise having a material adverse effect on the overall business climate as well as our financial condition and results of operations.

Heightened standards of sales conduct as a result of the implementation of SAT, including state adoption of a revised SAT version that includes a best interest concept, or the adoption of other similar proposed rules or regulations could also increase the compliance and regulatory burdens on our representatives, and could lead to increased litigation and regulatory risks, changes to our business model, a decrease in the number of our securities-licensed representatives and a reduction in the products we offer to our clients, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition, we expect the worldwide demographic trend of population aging will cause policymakers to continue to focus on the framework of US and non-US retirement systems, which may drive additional changes regarding the manner in which individuals plan for and fund their retirement, the extent of government involvement in retirement savings and funding, the regulation of retirement products and services and the oversight of industry participants. Any incremental requirements, costs and risks imposed on us in connection with such current or future legislative or regulatory changes, may constrain our ability to market our products and services to potential customers, and could negatively impact our profitability and make it more difficult for us to pursue our growth strategy.

Although we are subject to regulation in each state in which we conduct business, in many instances the state insurance laws and regulations emanate from the NAIC. State insurance regulators and the NAIC regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations applicable to insurance companies and their products. Any proposed or future legislation or NAIC initiatives, if adopted, may be more restrictive on our ability to conduct business than current regulatory requirements or may result in higher costs or increased statutory capital and reserve requirements. Changes in these laws and regulations or interpretations thereof are often made for the benefit of the consumer and at the expense of the insurer and could have a material adverse effect on our domestic insurance subsidiaries’ businesses, financial condition and results of operations. We are also subject to the risk that compliance with any particular regulator’s interpretation of a legal or accounting issue may not result in compliance with another regulator’s interpretation of the same issue, particularly when compliance is judged in hindsight. There is an additional risk that any particular regulator’s interpretation of a legal or accounting issue may change over time to our detriment, or that changes to the overall legal or market environment, even absent any change of interpretation by a particular regulator, may cause us to change our views regarding the actions we need to take from a legal risk management perspective, which could necessitate changes to our practices that may, in some cases, limit our ability to grow and improve profitability.

Risks Relating to Taxation

The tax treatment of our structure is complex and may be subject to change as a result of new laws or regulations or differing interpretations of existing laws and regulations, under audit or otherwise, potentially on a retroactive basis.

The tax treatment of our structure and transactions undertaken by us depends in some instances on determinations of fact and interpretations of complex provisions of US federal, state, local and non-US tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. In addition, US federal, state, local and non-US tax rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process, the IRS, the US Department of the Treasury, and state, local and non-US legislative and regulatory bodies, which frequently results in revised interpretations of established concepts, statutory changes, revisions to regulations and other modifications, interpretations and practices. It is possible that future legislation increases the US federal income tax rates applicable to corporations, limits further the deductibility of interest or effects other changes that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

On August 16, 2022, the US government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). The IRA contains a number of tax-related provisions, including a 15% minimum corporate income tax on certain large corporations as well as an excise tax on stock repurchases. H.R.1 enacted on July 4, 2025, further modified various provisions of the US federal tax rules, including certain provisions of the IRA. The impact of the H.R.1 and the IRA on our financial condition will depend on the facts and circumstances of each year.

Non-US, state and local governments may enact legislation that could result in changes to non-US, state and local tax law and regulations, which may have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. In particular, both the rate and basis of taxation may change. We cannot predict whether any particular proposed legislation will be enacted or, if enacted, what the specific provisions or the effective date of any such legislation would be, or whether it would have any effect on us. As such, we cannot assure you that future legislative, administrative or judicial developments will not result in an increase in the amount of US (including state or local) or non-US tax payable by us, our subsidiaries or investors in our shares. If any such developments occur, our business, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected and such developments could have an adverse effect on your investment in our shares.

Our effective tax rate and tax liability is based on the application of current tax laws, regulations and treaties as interpreted and applied by various jurisdictions. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to us and our subsidiaries is sometimes open to interpretation. Moreover, the application of such laws, regulations and treaties may not be compatible with one another. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. Although management believes its application of current laws, regulations and treaties to be correct and sustainable upon examination by the tax authorities, the tax authorities could challenge our interpretation resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to our tax provision that could increase our effective tax rate or have other unforeseen adverse tax consequences.

In addition, we or certain of our subsidiaries are currently (or have been recently) under tax audit in various jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions or any others where we conduct business may assess additional tax against us. While we believe our tax positions, determinations, and calculations are reasonable, the final determination of tax upon resolution of any audits could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals. Should additional material taxes be assessed as a result of an audit, assessment or litigation, there could be an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made. Even where an audit, assessment or litigation is resolved favorably to us, the additional costs incurred in resisting or resolving such audits, assessments or litigation may adversely affect our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The US Congress, the OECD and other government bodies and organizations in jurisdictions where we and our affiliates are established, invest or conduct business continue to recommend and implement changes related to the taxation of multinational companies. The OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS (Inclusive Framework), which currently includes over 145 countries and jurisdictions, has proposed and encouraged the implementation by its participating jurisdictions of changes to numerous long-standing tax principles through its BEPS project, which is focused on a number of issues, including the prevention of profit shifting among affiliated entities in different jurisdictions, limitation of improper interest deductibility claims and ensuring eligibility of taxpayers claiming the benefits of double tax treaties. Several of the BEPS measures, including measures covering treaty abuse, the deductibility of interest expense, local nexus requirements, transfer pricing and hybrid mismatch arrangements, are relevant to our group structure and the structure of some of our investments. There remains some significant uncertainty regarding the timing of implementation and the specific domestic measures adopted in pursuance of the BEPS project for our business, however. Those aspects of the BEPS proposals which have already been implemented rely on relatively new legislation in a number of Inclusive Framework member jurisdictions, for which there is (in many cases) limited domestic precedent. Specifically, uncertainty remains around (among other matters) access to tax treaties for some of our investments, which could create situations of double taxation and adversely impact our investment returns.

In addition, Inclusive Framework members continue to work toward the domestic implementation of so-called “Pillar Two” which, broadly, ensures that multinational enterprises (MNEs) with revenues over 750 million euros pay a minimum rate of corporate income tax in each jurisdiction in which they operate. Pillar Two includes two interlocking rules for domestic adoption by Inclusive Framework members (together the Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (GloBE Rules)): (1) an Income Inclusion Rule (IIR), which imposes top-up tax on a parent entity in respect of the low-taxed income of a constituent entity within that parent entity’s group; and (2) a “UTPR” (commonly known as an undertaxed profits rule), which denies deductions or requires an equivalent adjustment to the extent the low-taxed income of a constituent entity is not subject to tax under an IIR.

Key aspects of Pillar Two (including IIR regimes) became effective in jurisdictions relevant to our business from January 1, 2024, with other aspects (including UTPR regimes) being implemented into domestic laws throughout the course of 2025. The UK, for example, enacted legislation in July 2023 implementing an IIR via a Minimum Top-up Tax “MTT” (alongside a UK domestic top-up tax) that applies to MNEs for accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2023 and introduced the UTPR in 2025 with effect for accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2024.

The OECD has released administrative guidance which clarifies (and in some cases amends) previously released guidance on the application of the model GloBE Rules, and jurisdictions enacting legislation in respect of Pillar Two have sought to implement these updates (either by way of legislative amendment or the release of further domestic guidance). We expect that the OECD will continue to release updates to its administrative guidance which may result in further amendments to the Pillar Two rules as they apply in relevant jurisdictions.

On January 5, 2026, members of the Inclusive Framework agreed on several new safe harbors as part of a package of measures on Pillar Two aimed at reducing compliance burdens and ensuring fair treatment of substance-based tax incentives. A key element of the package includes measures designed to ensure that, subject to certain conditions, neither the IIR nor the UTPR would apply to certain US headquartered MNEs (or any foreign subsidiaries included in the group’s consolidated financial statements) for financial years commencing on or after January 1, 2026 (the SbS Safe Harbor). While these measures could, if implemented as contemplated, significantly reduce the potential impact of the Pillar Two rules to some or all of our business, the practical impact of these measures remains uncertain and will depend on local law enactment, administrative guidance, and interpretation in the relevant jurisdictions. In addition, local Pillar Two regimes, including qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes, may continue to apply in jurisdictions in which our business operates. In the UK, the Exchequer Secretary to His Majesty’s Treasury announced on January 7, 2026 that measures to implement the new provisions, applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, will be subject to technical consultation and then brought forward in the next Finance Bill. However, no assurances can be provided that such measures will be enacted or, if enacted, what their effective date may be.

The release of further updates to the GloBE Rules and adoption of Pillar Two legislation (including IIR or UTPR regimes) by additional jurisdictions have given and may continue to give rise to consequential amendments to tax laws (other than those which seek to enact or modify Pillar Two rules) in other jurisdictions. As noted below (see Item 1A. Risk Factors–Risks Relating to Taxation–The Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, or other changes in Bermuda tax laws, may negatively affect our earnings and results from operations.), Bermuda in particular has enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (Bermuda CIT) in response to the Pillar Two initiative. The implications of these rules for our business remain uncertain, both at a domestic level in Bermuda and in terms of how the Bermuda CIT (which came into full effect on January 1, 2025) might interact with the MTT and UTPR legislation or other Pillar Two implementing legislation in relevant jurisdictions. These rules also now need to be considered against the backdrop of the above mentioned SbS Safe Harbor measures which have the potential to exclude certain US-headed groups from the IRR and UTPR altogether. We have taken specific steps under the Bermuda CIT in response to the SbS Safe Harbor measures.

Alongside Pillar Two, the Inclusive Framework has also developed a proposal to amend existing tax laws and principles to shift taxing rights to the jurisdiction of the consumer (called Pillar One). As currently proposed, Pillar One seeks to re-allocate taxing rights over 25% of the residual profits of MNEs with global turnover in excess of 20 billion euros (excluding extractives and regulated financial services) to the jurisdictions where the customers and users of those MNEs are located. While the Inclusive Framework continues to seek agreement regarding the form and timing of implementation of Pillar One, no concrete proposal has yet been achieved and therefore the likely impact on our business and the taxes we pay remains unclear.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The timing, scope and implementation into the domestic law of relevant jurisdictions of any measures in pursuit of aspects of the BEPS project other than Pillar One and Pillar Two remain subject to significant uncertainty, as does the content of existing and future OECD guidance and the form of legislation which enacts these changes. Such future changes may result in material additional tax being payable by our business and the businesses of the companies in which we invest. The ultimate implementation of the BEPS project may also increase the complexity and the burden and costs of compliance and advice relating to our efforts to efficiently fund, hold and realize investments, and could necessitate or increase the probability of some restructuring of our group or business operations. This may also lead to additional complexity in evaluating the tax implications of ongoing investments and restructuring transactions within our business.

Our ownership of certain non-US entities could cause us to be subject to US federal income tax in amounts greater than expected, which could adversely affect the value of your investment.

Certain of our non-US subsidiaries are treated as foreign corporations under the Internal Revenue Code (such subsidiaries, the Non-US Subsidiaries). Each of the Non-US Subsidiaries currently intends to operate in a manner that will not cause it to be subject to US federal income taxation on a net basis in any material amount. However, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether a foreign corporation is engaged in a trade or business (or has a permanent establishment) in the US, as the law is unclear and the determination is highly factual and must be made annually. Therefore there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully contend that a Non-US Subsidiary that does not intend to be treated as engaged in a trade or business (or as having a permanent establishment) in the US does, in fact, so engage (or have such a permanent establishment). If any such Non-US Subsidiary is treated as engaged in a trade or business in the US (or as having a permanent establishment), it may incur greater tax costs than expected on any income not exempt from taxation under an applicable income tax treaty, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, certain of our subsidiaries are treated as resident in the UK for UK tax purposes (UK Resident Companies) and expect to qualify for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the US and the UK (UK Treaty) by reason of being subsidiaries of AGM or by reason of satisfying an ownership and base erosion test. Accordingly, our UK Resident Companies are expected to qualify for certain exemptions from, or reduced rates of, US federal taxes that are provided for by the UK Treaty. However, there can be no assurances that our UK Resident Companies will continue to qualify for treaty benefits or satisfy all of the requirements for the tax exemptions and reductions they intend to claim. If any of our UK Resident Companies fails to qualify for such benefits or satisfy such requirements, it may incur greater tax costs than expected, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

AHL may be subject to UK taxation by reason of its historic UK tax residency or as a result of ceasing to be a UK tax resident.

Prior to 2024, AHL was treated as resident in the UK for UK tax purposes. As from 2024, AHL expects to no longer be a resident of the UK for tax purposes on the basis that it is not incorporated in the UK and its central management and control is no longer exercised from the UK. Further, it is expected that AHL will conduct its affairs in a manner that ensures that it is not regarded as carrying on a trade in the UK through a UK “permanent establishment” or “UK Representative.” Accordingly, AHL does not expect to be generally subject to UK tax on its worldwide profits.

While it is not anticipated that any adverse UK tax consequences should arise to AHL as a result of its historic UK tax residency, it is possible that HMRC may nonetheless seek to assert UK taxation with respect to AHL’s historic or future income or gains (including, without limitation, under a number of specific UK tax regimes, including the controlled foreign company regime, the hybrids and other mismatches regime, the diverted profits tax and the MTT). The UK tax regime also provides for certain forms of “exit taxation” to occur where a company ceases to be a UK tax resident (broadly, by deeming such companies (in certain circumstances) to have effected a deemed realization of their assets and liabilities at fair market value upon departure). We do not anticipate material adverse UK tax consequences for AHL arising as a result of its historic UK tax residency or as a result of ceasing to be a UK tax resident, but no assurances can be provided that HMRC will not assert that additional UK taxation applies.

The Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) may significantly increase our tax liability.

The BEAT operates as a minimum tax and is generally calculated as a percentage (10% for taxable years before 2026 and 10.5% thereafter) of the “modified taxable income” of an “applicable taxpayer.” Modified taxable income is calculated by adding back to a taxpayer’s regular taxable income the amount of certain “base erosion tax benefits” with respect to certain payments made to foreign affiliates of the taxpayer, as well as the “base erosion percentage” of any net operating loss deductions. The BEAT applies for a taxable year only to the extent it exceeds a taxpayer’s regular corporate income tax liability for such year (determined without regard to certain tax credits).

Certain of our reinsurance agreements require our US subsidiaries (including any non-US subsidiaries that have elected to be subject to US federal income taxation) to pay or accrue substantial amounts to certain of our non-US reinsurance subsidiaries that would be characterized as “base erosion payments” with respect to which there are “base erosion tax benefits.” These and any other “base erosion payments” may cause us to be subject to the BEAT. In addition, tax authorities may disagree with our BEAT calculations, or the interpretations on which those calculations are based, and assess additional taxes, interest and penalties.

We establish our tax provision in accordance with US GAAP. However, there can be no assurance that this provision will accurately reflect the amount of US federal income tax that we ultimately pay, as that amount could differ materially from the estimate. There may be material adverse consequences to our business if tax authorities successfully challenge our BEAT calculations, in light of the uncertainties described above.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Changes in tax law could adversely impact our earnings.

Many of the products that we sell and reinsure benefit from one or more forms of tax-favored status under current US federal and state income tax regimes. For example, we sell and reinsure annuity contracts that allow the policyholders to defer the recognition of taxable income earned within the contract. Future changes in US federal or state tax law could reduce or eliminate the attractiveness of such products, which could affect the sale of our products or increase the expected lapse rate with respect to products that have already been sold. Decreases in product sales or increases in lapse rates, in either case, brought about by changes in US tax law, may result in a decrease in net invested assets and therefore investment income and may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

There is US income tax risk associated with reinsurance between US insurance companies and their Bermuda affiliates.

If a reinsurance agreement is entered into among related parties, the IRS is permitted to reallocate or recharacterize income, deductions or certain other items, and to make any other adjustment, to reflect the proper amount, source or character of the taxable income of each of the parties. If the IRS were to successfully challenge our reinsurance arrangements, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

The Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, or other changes in Bermuda tax laws, may negatively affect our earnings and results from operations.

On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Bermuda CIT. On January 1, 2025, the Bermuda CIT imposed a 15% corporate income tax on entities that are tax residents in Bermuda or have a Bermuda permanent establishment and are members of multi-national groups with consolidated revenues in excess of €750 million for at least two of the last four fiscal years. The Bermuda CIT also includes various transitional provisions and elections that may reduce the amount of tax imposed. Other than as noted below, our subsidiaries that are organized in Bermuda generally will be subject to tax under the Bermuda CIT, although we do not expect to owe any cash tax thereunder. As discussed in Item 7.–Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Overview–Bermuda Corporate Income Tax, in response to the SbS Safe Harbor measures described above, and the announcement by the Exchequer Secretary to His Majesty’s Treasury in the UK that measures to implement the new provisions will be brought forward in the next Finance Bill, we revoked ACRA’s election to be subject to Bermuda CIT. The revocation of this election will result in a reduction to other assets with a corresponding increase to income tax expense, which results in a reduction to adjusted Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder’s equity, equal to the net amount of the Bermuda deferred tax assets of $1.7 billion. No assurances can be provided that the Bermuda CIT, future amendments, regulations or other guidance in respect of the Bermuda CIT, the interaction of the Bermuda CIT with SbS Safe Harbor implementing legislation (if any), or any consequences of our revocation of ACRA’s election to be subject to Bermuda CIT will not negatively affect our earnings and results of operations.

The Bermuda Minister of Finance, under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda, as amended, has issued Tax Assurance Certificates to our Bermuda subsidiaries assuring such entities that if any legislation is enacted in Bermuda that would impose tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of any such tax will not be applicable to such entities or any of their operations, shares, debentures or other obligations until March 31, 2035, except insofar as such tax applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or to any taxes payable in respect of real property owned or leased by such entities in Bermuda. Given the limited duration of the Bermuda Minister of Finance’s assurances, and that the Bermuda CIT described above was enacted notwithstanding such assurances, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any other Bermuda taxes before or after March 31, 2035.

Risks Relating to Investment in Our Securities

AHL is a holding company with limited operations of its own. As a consequence, AHL’s ability to pay dividends on its securities and to make timely payments on its debt obligations will depend on the ability of its subsidiaries to make distributions or other payments to it, which may be restricted by law.

AHL is a holding company with limited business operations of its own. AHL’s primary subsidiaries are insurance and reinsurance companies that own substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations. Accordingly, AHL’s payment of dividends and ability to make timely payments on its debt obligations is dependent, to a significant extent, on the generation of cash flow by its subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash or other assets available to it, by dividend or otherwise. Dividends or distributions that may be paid by AHL’s insurance subsidiaries are limited or restricted by applicable insurance or other laws that are based in part on the prior year’s statutory income and surplus, or other sources. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources–Holding Company Liquidity–Dividends from Insurance Subsidiaries.

AHL’s subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable AHL to meet its obligations and pay dividends. These limitations on AHL’s subsidiaries’ abilities to pay dividends to AHL may negatively impact AHL’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If AHL is not able to receive sufficient distributions from its subsidiaries, AHL may be required to raise funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, issuance of equity or sale of assets. AHL’s ability to access funds through such methods is subject to market conditions and there can be no assurance that AHL would be able to raise funds on favorable terms or at all.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and legal and contractual restrictions may also limit AHL’s ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries. In addition to the specific restrictions described above, AHL’s subsidiaries, as members of its insurance holding company system, are subject to various statutory and regulatory restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to AHL, as further described in Item 1. Business–Regulation–Group Oversight and Capital Framework–Insurance Holding Company Regulation.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for certain legal actions between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a judicial forum viewed by the stockholders as more favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, and the enforceability of the exclusive forum provision may be subject to uncertainty.

Article XIII of our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, other employees or stockholders to us or our stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL), our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. The exclusive forum provision also provides that it will not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction. Stockholders cannot waive, and will not be deemed to have waived under the exclusive forum provision, the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this exclusive forum provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, this exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Further, in the event a court finds the exclusive forum provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation to be unenforceable or inapplicable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

General Risk Factors

Our business may be the target or subject of, and we may be required to defend against or respond to, litigation, regulatory investigations, enforcement actions or reputational harm.

We operate in an industry in which various practices are subject to potential litigation, including class actions, and regulatory scrutiny. We, like other financial services companies, are involved in litigation and arbitration in the ordinary course of business and may be the subject of regulatory proceedings (including investigations and enforcement actions). Plaintiffs may seek large or indeterminate amounts of damages in litigation and regulators may seek large fines in enforcement actions. Given the large or indeterminate amounts sometimes sought, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and enforcement actions, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements for certain matters to which we are a party, if any. Even if we ultimately prevail in any litigation or receive positive results from investigations, we could incur material legal costs or our reputation could be materially adversely affected.

Beginning in March 2024, a number of putative class actions were filed in federal courts in the US against certain of our customers, in their respective capacities as plan sponsors, alleging violations of ERISA in connection with their transfer of pension obligations under defined benefit plans governed under ERISA and their purchase of pension group annuity contracts from us. The lawsuits seek, inter alia, that defendants guarantee the annuities purchased from us and disgorge any profits earned from the transactions. Although we are not a named defendant, the lawsuits make several negative allegations about us and our business, which we believe to be untrue. More recently, similar claims have been filed against customers of other insurance companies that have transferred their pension obligations to such other insurance companies. Negative public perceptions of us and our business have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our ability to attract and retain customers in our pension group annuity business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. To the extent these lawsuits continue to spread to customers of other insurance companies, future activity in the overall pension risk transfer industry may be reduced. In addition, these lawsuits could lead to increased regulatory and governmental scrutiny of our business and the industry overall, and/or result in us becoming involved in these lawsuits or even being named as a defendant in future lawsuits related to our pension group annuity business, which could result in additional expenses, adverse regulations and oversight, and/or additional reputational harm. These lawsuits could also spur similar copycat lawsuits, which could further impact our pension group annuity business. To the extent that the inflows in our pension group annuity business continue to be negatively impacted by these lawsuits, and in the event of any related regulatory and governmental scrutiny, we may seek to increase our inflows in our other distribution channels, including by issuing additional funding agreements within our institutional channel. However, there are no assurances that we would be successful in replacing any future pension group annuity inflows with inflows from other distribution channels or that such other inflows would result in comparable spreads.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

We have developed a comprehensive information security program that is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and continued availability of all information that we own or possess. The program is a critical component of our overall IT Security, Risk, and Compliance Management Program, which is based, in part, on recognized frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the International Organization for Standardization and other applicable industry standards.

Key features of the program include:

•Implementation of a detailed cyber incident response plan that provides controls and procedures for identifying, assessing, containing, remediating, escalating, and reporting cyber incidents.

•Cross-functional approach to addressing cybersecurity risk, with engagement among internal working groups such as Risk, Information Technology, Operations, Procurement, Legal, Compliance, and Internal Audit functions.

•Information security policies and procedures that are reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect changes in law, technology, practice, and emerging threats.

•Cybersecurity awareness training for employees, upon hire and at least annually thereafter;

•Ongoing monitoring, and periodic assessment and testing, of our networks and systems for threats, vulnerabilities, and other cybersecurity risks, internal and external.

•Periodic tabletop exercises and response readiness assessments, with participation from senior executives, led by outside advisors who provide a third-party independent assessment of our technical program and internal response preparedness; results are provided to the audit committee.

•Development of risk mitigation strategies that may defray costs associated with an information security breach.

•Periodic cyber drills and disaster recovery tests which are designed to help ensure our business operations can continue in the event of a cybersecurity attack.

•Comprehensive internal risk assessment of critical third-party service providers, including of their cybersecurity posture prior to onboarding; contractual requirements for critical third-party service providers to adhere to our standards and incidents reporting; once engaged, critical third-party service providers are required to maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity plan in conformity with industry standards.

We engage industry specialists and other third parties in connection with such processes.

Our information security program is managed by our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with collaboration across lines of businesses and corporate functions. The CISO is a senior-level executive responsible for establishing and executing our information security strategy, including cybersecurity oversight. The CISO reports directly to our Chief Information Officer (CIO), who reports directly to our Chief Operating Officer (COO). The CIO and CISO are members of the management operational risk committee, which reports to the management risk committee. The COO is a member of the management risk committee, which reports to the board risk committee. See Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Corporate Governance—Committees of the Board of Directors—Management Committees for additional information about the management operational risk committee, which is responsible for overseeing operational risk, including cybersecurity risk, and the management risk committee, which is responsible for overseeing overall corporate risk.

Table of Contents

In addition, the CIO, CISO, General Counsel and certain other members of senior management meet periodically with the audit, risk, and legal and regulatory committees of the board of directors to review our information technology and cybersecurity risk profile and to discuss risk mitigation plans. While the board risk committee is ultimately responsible for overseeing the management of our information security program at the board level, the audit and legal and regulatory committees assist the risk committees in fulfilling its duties. Each of the board committees regularly briefs the full board of directors on matters reported to them. See Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Corporate Governance—Risk Management Oversight for additional information regarding the role of our board of directors in risk management oversight, including its oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. We have not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, our business strategy, results of operation or financial condition. See Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business Operations—Interruption or other operational failures in telecommunications, information technology and other operational systems, including as a result of threat actors attacking those systems, or a failure to maintain the security, integrity, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on those systems, including as a result of human error, could have a material adverse effect on our business and Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Relationship with Apollo—Interruption or other operational failures in telecommunications, information technology and other operational systems at Apollo or a failure to maintain the security, integrity, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on Apollo’s systems, including as a result of human error, could have a material adverse effect on our business for further discussion of the risks we face from cybersecurity threats.

The CIO is responsible for managing our information technology strategy. Our CIO has over 30 years of insurance and financial services operations and technology experience, including as chief information officer at large insurance companies, and received a Bachelor of Science in business management and a Master of Business Administration in management information systems.

The CISO is responsible for managing our information security program. Our CISO has over 25 years of information technology experience and over 20 years of information security experience; is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional, a Certified Information Systems Manager, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in statistical science, a Bachelor of Science in computer science, and a Master of Business Administration in business.

Item 2. Properties

We own our corporate headquarters located at 7700 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, Iowa. We lease our head office for Bermuda operations in Hamilton, Bermuda. We consider these facilities and other properties to be suitable and adequate for the management and operation of our business.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including litigation principally relating to our retail business. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all liabilities arising out of such claims. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims brought against us will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period.

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in the insurance and financial services industries, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with such agencies’ regulatory or investigatory authority. Such requests can include financial or market conduct examinations, subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist such agencies in audits or investigations. We and each of our US insurance subsidiaries review such requests and notices and take appropriate action. We have been subject to certain requests for information and investigations in the past and could be subject to them in the future.

Descriptions of certain legal proceedings affecting us, if any, are included in Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Forward-Looking Statements, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included within this report.

Overview

We are a leading financial services company that specializes in issuing, reinsuring and acquiring retirement savings products designed for the increasing number of individuals and institutions seeking to fund retirement needs. AGM is the beneficial owner of 100% of our common stock and controls all of the voting power to elect members to our board of directors. We focus on generating spread income by combining our two core competencies of (1) sourcing long-term, persistent liabilities and (2) using the global scale and reach of Apollo’s asset management business to actively source or originate assets with our preferred risk and return characteristics. Our steady and significant base of earnings generates capital that we opportunistically invest across our business to source attractively priced liabilities and capitalize on opportunities.

We have established a significant base of earnings and, as of December 31, 2025, have an expected annual net investment spread, which measures our investment performance plus strategic capital management fees less the total cost of our liabilities, of 1–2% over the estimated 7.4 year weighted-average life of our net reserve liabilities. The weighted-average life includes deferred annuities, pension group annuities, funding agreements, payout annuities, life insurance contracts, guaranteed investment contracts and other products.

The following table presents the inflows and outflows generated from our organic and inorganic channels, as well as the breakout between Athene, the ACRA noncontrolling interests and third-party reinsurers:

1 Funding agreements are comprised of funding agreements issued under our FABN program, secured and other funding agreements, which include our FABR program and direct funding agreements, funding agreements issued to the FHLB and long-term repurchase agreements.
2 Other inflows include guaranteed investment and group annuity contracts issued in connection with defined contribution plans as well as structured settlements.
3 Gross inorganic inflows represent acquisitions and block reinsurance transactions. On November 6, 2023, we entered into an agreement with a Japanese counterparty, effective October 1, 2023, pursuant to which we agreed to reinsure a block of whole life insurance policies on a coinsurance basis. On October 1, 2025, we entered into an agreement with another Japanese counterparty to reinsure a block of whole life insurance policies on a coinsurance basis.
4 Gross outflows include full and partial policyholder withdrawals on deferred annuities, death benefits, pension group annuity benefit payments, payments on payout annuities, payments related to interest, maturities and repurchases of funding agreements and block reinsurance outflows. Gross outflows in 2023 include the $2.7 billion of reserves recaptured by Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company (VIAC).
5 Effective July 1, 2023, ALRe sold 50% of ACRA 2’s economic interests to ADIP II. Effective December 31, 2023, ACRA 2 repurchased a portion of its shares held by ALRe, which increased ADIP II’s ownership of economic interests in ACRA 2 to 60%, with ALRe owning the remaining 40% of the economic interests. Effective October 1, 2024, ACRA 2 repurchased a portion of its shares held by ALRe, which increased ADIP II’s ownership of economic interests in ACRA 2 to 63%, with ALRe owning the remaining 37% of the economic interests.
6 During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a modco reinsurance agreement with Catalina Re Archdale Life Insurance Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Catalina Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, Catalina) to cede a quota share of our retail deferred annuity business issued on or after January 1, 2024.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our organic channels, including retail, flow reinsurance, institutional and other products, provided gross inflows of $82.1 billion, $71.0 billion and $63.4 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were underwritten to attractive returns. Gross organic inflows for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $11.1 billion, or 16%, reflecting the strength of our multi-channel distribution platform and our ability to quickly pivot into optimal and profitable channels as opportunities arise. Withdrawals on our deferred annuities, death benefits, pension group annuity benefit payments, payments on payout annuities, payments related to interest, maturities and repurchases of funding agreements and block reinsurance outflows (collectively, gross outflows), in the aggregate were $35.5 billion, $33.5 billion and $33.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross outflows of $2.1 billion was primarily driven by an increase in retail annuity policies which have reached the end of the surrender charge period in a higher rate environment as well as an increase in interest payments on funding agreements attributable to the significant growth in the block of business in 2025, partially offset by a decrease in funding agreement maturities and a decrease in outflows related to policies underlying certain reinsurance blocks compared to 2024. We believe that our credit profile, current product offerings and product design capabilities, as well as our reputation as both a seasoned funding agreement issuer and a reliable pension group annuity counterparty, will continue to enable us to grow our existing organic channels and source additional volumes of profitably underwritten liabilities in various market environments. We intend to continue to grow organically by expanding each of our retail, flow reinsurance, institutional and other distribution channels. We believe that we have the right people, infrastructure, scale and capital discipline to position us for continued growth.

Within our retail channel, we had fixed annuity sales of $34.1 billion, $35.8 billion and $35.3 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in our retail channel was primarily driven by a decrease in the sales of our MYGA product, partially offset by an increase resulting from record sales of our FIA and RILA products in 2025. Overall sales were strong across our bank, broker-dealer and IMO channels, exhibiting strong sales execution, the current rate environment, growing product offerings and our continued expansion into large financial institutions. We have maintained our disciplined approach to pricing and our targeted underwritten returns. We aim to continue to grow our retail channel by deepening our relationships with our approximately 41 IMOs, 18 banks and 163 broker-dealers, collectively representing approximately 152,000 independent agents. Our strong financial position and diverse, capital-efficient products allow us to be dependable partners with IMOs, banks and broker-dealers, as well as to consistently write new business. We expect our retail channel to continue to benefit from our credit profile, product launches and continuous product enhancements as we look to capture new potential distribution opportunities. We believe this can support sales growth at our targeted returns from increased volumes via existing IMO relationships and allow continued expansion of our bank and broker-dealer channels.

Within our flow reinsurance channel, we target reinsurance business consistent with our preferred liability characteristics, which provides us another channel to source liabilities with attractive crediting rates. We generated inflows through our flow reinsurance channel of $11.2 billion, $5.6 billion and $10.5 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in our flow reinsurance channel from 2024 was driven by record volumes primarily attributable to a strategic opportunity with a US partner at attractive returns, as well as strong volume from our other US and Asia Pacific partners. We continue to expand our presence in Asia with increased partnerships and growing product offerings. We expect that our credit profile and our reputation as a solutions provider will help us continue to source additional reinsurance partners, which will further diversify our flow reinsurance channel.

Within our institutional channel, we generated inflows of $36.1 billion, $29.7 billion and $17.6 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in our institutional channel was driven by higher funding agreement inflows, partially offset by lower pension group annuity inflows. We issued funding agreements in the aggregate principal amount of $35.4 billion, $28.7 billion and $7.2 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in our funding agreement channel from 2024 was driven by record inflows with diversified activity across sub-channels. Funding agreement inflows for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of $13.4 billion of FABN issuances, $9.0 billion of FABR issuances, $3.3 billion of direct funding agreement issuances, $8.0 billion of FHLB issuances and $1.7 billion of long-term repurchase agreement issuances. As of December 31, 2025, we had funding agreements outstanding of $34.6 billion under our FABN program, $21.0 billion under our FABR program, $6.1 billion of direct funding agreements, $23.3 billion with the FHLB and $3.2 billion of long-term repurchase agreements. We issued pension group annuity contracts in the aggregate principal amount of $751 million, $918 million and $10.4 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The pension group annuity channel continues to be impacted by the competitive environment and litigation against certain of our pension group annuity clients. Since entering the pension group annuity market in 2017, we have closed 50 deals resulting in the issuance or reinsurance of group annuities of $53.4 billion with more than 528,000 plan participants as of December 31, 2025. We expect to grow our institutional channel by continuing to engage in pension group annuity transactions and programmatic issuances of funding agreements.

Within our other channel, inflows include guaranteed investment and group annuity contracts issued in connection with defined contribution plans as well as structured settlements. We generated inflows through our other channel of $674 million, $0 million and $0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in our other channel was driven by the development of new retirement products within new markets in 2025 to provide solutions to help meet growing retirement needs.

Our inorganic channel has contributed significantly to our growth through both acquisitions and block reinsurance transactions. We completed our second block reinsurance transaction in the Japanese market during the fourth quarter of 2025. On October 1, 2025, we entered into an agreement with Sony Life Insurance Co., Ltd., pursuant to which we agreed to reinsure a small block of whole life insurance policies on a coinsurance basis. In conjunction with the transaction, we entered into an agreement on October 1, 2025 to retrocede the mortality risk related to this block of business to Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd., a leading mortality reinsurer, on a yearly renewable term basis. We plan to continue to grow and diversify our business, both organically and inorganically, with a focus on international expansion, particularly in Asia. We believe our corporate development team, with support from Apollo, has an industry-leading ability to source, underwrite and expeditiously close transactions. With support from Apollo, we are a solutions provider with a proven track record of closing transactions, which we believe makes us the ideal partner to insurance companies seeking to restructure their business. We expect that our inorganic channel will continue to be an important source of profitable growth in the future.

ACRA

To support growth strategies and capital deployment opportunities, we established ACRA 1 as a long-duration, on-demand capital vehicle. ALRe directly owns 37% of the economic interests in ACRA 1 and all of ACRA 1’s voting interests, with ADIP I, a series of funds managed by Apollo, owning the remaining 63% of the economic interests. During the commitment period, ACRA 1 participated in certain transactions by drawing a portion of the required capital for such transactions from third-party investors equal to ADIP I’s proportionate economic interests in ACRA 1. The commitment period for ACRA 1 expired in August 2023.

To further support our growth and capital deployment opportunities following the deployment of capital by ACRA 1, we funded ACRA 2 in December 2022 as another long-duration, on-demand capital vehicle. ALRe directly owns 37% of the economic interests in ACRA 2 and all of ACRA 2’s voting interests, with ADIP II, a fund managed by Apollo, owning the remaining 63% of the economic interests. ACRA 2 participates in certain transactions by drawing a portion of the required capital for such transactions from third-party investors equal to ADIP II’s proportionate economic interests in ACRA 2.

These stockholder-friendly, strategic capital solutions allow us the flexibility to simultaneously deploy capital across multiple accretive avenues, while maintaining a strong financial position.

ADIP Investment

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we purchased investments in ADIP I and ADIP II, of which $65 million was acquired from Apollo. As of December 31, 2025, we held investments in ADIP of $231 million.

Deployable Capital

Executing our growth strategy requires that we have sufficient capital available to deploy. We believe that we have significant capital available to support our growth aspirations. As of December 31, 2025, we estimate that we had approximately $8.6 billion in capital available to deploy, consisting of approximately $3.2 billion in excess equity capital, $2.6 billion in untapped leverage capacity (assuming an adjusted leverage ratio of not more than 30%, subject to maintaining a sufficient level of capital required to maintain our desired financial strength ratings from rating agencies), and $2.8 billion in available undrawn capital at ACRA.

Bermuda Corporate Income Tax

On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Bermuda CIT in response to the OECD’s Pillar Two initiative. In connection with the enactment of the Bermuda CIT, we made interim elections to align the membership of our Bermuda CIT tax group with the membership of our Pillar Two Bermuda tax group, and recorded a deferred tax asset of $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2024 for entry into the Bermuda CIT regime. As of December 31, 2025, we had $1.7 billion of net Bermuda deferred tax assets and concluded that it was more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income would be generated to realize these deferred tax assets.

On January 5, 2026, the OECD issued guidance exempting US-parented groups from the IIR or UTPR taxes under the Pillar Two regime. The UK government has publicly announced its intention to enact this guidance into law. While the precise timing of such enactment is subject to the UK government’s legislative process, once enacted, we expect that Athene and ACRA Bermuda entities would be exempt from the IIR and UTPR taxes in the UK. In light of these developments, and our expectation that maintaining alignment between the Bermuda CIT and Pillar Two tax groups would no longer be beneficial, in January 2026, we revoked ACRA’s election to be subject to the Bermuda CIT.

Although we believe such an outcome would be unlikely, if the UK government does not enact the announced legislation, or subsequently amends its legislation in a manner that does not conform to the OECD guidance, we expect to re-elect ACRA into the Bermuda CIT regime at that time and utilize the Bermuda deferred tax assets to offset any resulting Bermuda CIT or Pillar Two cash tax obligations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As a result of the foregoing, in the first quarter of 2026, we will record a full valuation allowance against our Bermuda deferred tax assets, as we no longer expect Athene or ACRA to incur Bermuda CIT or Pillar Two tax expense against which such deferred tax assets could be utilized. This will result in a reduction to other assets and a corresponding increase to income tax expense, which results in a reduction to adjusted Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder’s equity, equal to the net amount of the Bermuda deferred tax assets of $1.7 billion. Notwithstanding this near-term impact on these financial metrics, and without assurance as to future results, we believe that these developments, including the revocation of ACRA’s election to be subject to the Bermuda CIT, will have favorable implications for our overall tax position over the longer term.

US Industry Trends and Competition

Economic and Market Conditions

As a leading financial services company specializing in retirement services, we are affected by the condition of global financial markets and the economy. Price fluctuations within equity, credit, commodity and foreign exchange markets, as well as interest rates and global inflation, which may be volatile and mixed across geographies, can significantly impact the performance of our business, including, but not limited to, the valuation of investments and related income we may recognize.

Adverse economic conditions may result from domestic and global economic and political developments, including plateauing or decreasing economic growth and business activity, changes to US and foreign tariff policies, civil unrest, geopolitical tensions or military action, such as the armed conflicts in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia, and corresponding sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and other countries, and new or evolving legal and regulatory requirements on business investment, hiring, migration, labor supply and global supply chains.

The ongoing uncertainty regarding trade policy poses a downside risk to the current economic outlook, with lower growth and higher inflationary pressures increasing the risk of a stagflationary environment. Tariffs, which are inflationary in nature, remain in place and may have a negative impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. The potential impact of tariffs on corporate earnings remains uncertain and will depend on the duration and outcome of related trade negotiations.

We carefully monitor economic and market conditions that could potentially give rise to global market volatility and affect our business operations, investment portfolios and derivatives, which include global inflation. US inflation eased slightly in 2025 with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting the annual US inflation rate decreased to 2.7% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 2.9% as of December 31, 2024. The US Federal Reserve has a current benchmark interest rate target range of 3.50% to 3.75% following a rate cut of 25 basis points at each of its three meetings to end 2025, before holding rates constant at its January 2026 meeting.

Equity market performance was strong in 2025. In the US, the S&P 500 Index increased by 16.4% in 2025, following an increase of 23.3% in 2024. In terms of economic conditions in the US, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported real GDP increased at an annual rate of 2.2% in 2025, following an increase of 2.8% in 2024. As of January 2026, the International Monetary Fund estimated that the US economy will expand by 2.4% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the US unemployment rate increased to 4.4% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 4.1% as of December 31, 2024. Oil finished 2025 down 19.9% from 2024.

Foreign exchange rates can materially impact the valuations of our investments and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. The US dollar weakened in 2025 compared to the euro and Japanese yen. Relative to the US dollar, the euro appreciated 13.4% in 2025, after depreciating 6.2% in 2024. Relative to the US dollar, the Japanese yen appreciated 0.3% in 2025, after depreciating 10.3% in 2024. We generally undertake hedging activities to eliminate or mitigate foreign exchange currency risk.

Interest Rate Environment

Medium and long-term rates decreased in 2025, with the US 10-year Treasury yield at 4.18% as of December 31, 2025 compared to 4.58% as of December 31, 2024. Short-term rates decreased in 2025, with the 3-month secured overnight financing rate at 3.65% as of December 31, 2025 compared to 4.31% as of December 31, 2024.

Our investment portfolio predominantly consists of fixed maturity investments. See –Investment Portfolio. If prevailing interest rates were to rise, we believe the yield on our new investment purchases may also rise and our investment income from floating rate investments would increase, while the value of our existing investments may decline. If prevailing interest rates were to decline significantly, the yield on our new investment purchases may decline and our investment income from floating rate investments would decrease, while the value of our existing investments may increase.

We address interest rate risk through managing the duration of the liabilities we source with assets we acquire through ALM modeling. As part of our investment strategy, we purchase floating rate investments, which we expect would perform well in a rising interest rate environment and which we expect would underperform in a declining rate environment. We manage our interest rate risk in a declining rate environment through hedging activity or the issuance of additional floating rate liabilities to lower our overall net floating rate position. As of December 31, 2025, our net invested asset portfolio included $48.6 billion of floating rate investments, or 17% of our net invested assets, and our net reserve liabilities included $45.1 billion of floating rate liabilities at notional, or 16% of our net invested assets, resulting in $3.5 billion of net floating rate assets, or 1% of our net invested assets.

If prevailing interest rates were to rise, we believe our products would be more attractive to consumers and our sales would likely increase. If prevailing interest rates were to decline, it is likely that our products would be less attractive to consumers and our sales would likely decrease. In periods of prolonged low interest rates, the net investment spread may be negatively impacted by reduced investment income to the extent we are unable to adequately reduce policyholder crediting rates due to policyholder guarantees in the form of minimum crediting rates or otherwise due to market conditions. Our policyholder and institutional balances include deferred annuities, indexed annuities, funding agreements and other investment-type contracts, the latter of which is comprised of immediate annuities without significant mortality risk (which includes pension group annuities without life contingencies), guaranteed investment contracts and assumed endowments without significant mortality risks. A significant majority of our deferred annuity products have crediting rates that we may reset annually upon renewal, following the expiration of the current guaranteed period. While we have the contractual ability to lower these crediting rates to the guaranteed minimum levels at renewal, our willingness to do so may be limited by competitive pressures. See Note 9 – Long-duration Contracts to the consolidated financial statements for our deferred and indexed annuity policyholder account balances by range of guaranteed minimum crediting rates and the related distance to those respective guaranteed minimums. Our funding agreements and other investment-type products provide us little to no discretionary ability to change the rates of interest that determine the amounts payable to the respective policyholder or institution.

See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, which includes a discussion regarding interest rate and other significant risks and our strategies for managing these risks.

Demographics

Over the next four decades, the retirement-age population is expected to experience unprecedented growth. Technological advances and improvements in healthcare are projected to continue to contribute to increasing average life expectancy, and aging individuals must be prepared to fund retirement periods that will last longer than ever before. Further, many working households in the US do not have adequate retirement savings. As a tool for addressing the unmet need for retirement planning, we believe that many Americans have begun to look to tax-efficient savings products with low-risk or guaranteed return features and potential equity market upside. Our tax-efficient savings products are well positioned to meet this increasing customer demand.

Competition

We operate in highly competitive markets. We face a variety of large and small industry participants, including diversified financial institutions, insurance and reinsurance companies and private equity firms. These companies compete in one form or another for the growing pool of retirement assets driven by a number of external factors such as the continued aging of the population and the reduction in safety nets provided by governments and private employers. In the markets in which we operate, scale and the ability to provide value-added services and build long-term relationships are important factors to compete effectively. We believe that our leading presence in the retirement market, diverse range of capabilities and broad distribution network uniquely position us to effectively serve consumers’ increasing demand for retirement solutions, particularly in the fixed annuity market.

According to LIMRA, total annuity market sales in the US were $347.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 4.4% increase from the same time period in 2024. In the total annuity market, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the most recent period for which specific market share data is available), we were the largest provider of annuities based on sales of $26.8 billion, translating to a 7.7% market share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we were the largest provider of annuities based on sales of $28.0 billion, translating to an 8.4% market share.

According to LIMRA, total fixed annuity market sales in the US were $242.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 1.0% increase from the same time period in 2024. In the total fixed annuity market, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the most recent period for which specific market share data is available), we were the largest provider of fixed annuities based on sales of $25.8 billion, translating to a 10.6% market share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we were the largest provider of fixed annuities based on sales of $27.2 billion, translating to an 11.3% market share.

According to LIMRA, total fixed indexed annuity market sales in the US were $93.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 1.4% decrease from the same time period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the most recent period for which specific market share data is available), we were the largest provider of FIAs based on sales of $11.5 billion, translating to a 12.3% market share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we were the largest provider of FIAs based on sales of $10.9 billion, translating to an 11.5% market share.

According to LIMRA, total RILA market sales in the US were $57.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 19.0% increase from the same time period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the most recent period for which specific market share data is available), we were the thirteenth largest provider of RILAs based on sales of $1.0 billion, translating to a 1.8% market share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we were the eleventh largest provider of RILAs based on sales of $823 million, translating to a 1.7% market share. We believe RILAs represent a significant growth opportunity for Athene.

Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our results presented in accordance with US GAAP, we present certain financial information that includes non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant US GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. The majority of these non-GAAP measures are intended to remove from the results of operations the impact of market volatility (other than with respect to alternative investments), which consists of investment gains (losses), net of offsets, and non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives, both defined below, as well as integration, restructuring, stock compensation and certain other items which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results in accordance with US GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding US GAAP measures. See –Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations for the appropriate reconciliations to the most directly comparable US GAAP measures.

Spread Related Earnings (SRE)

Spread related earnings is a pre-tax non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance including the impact of any reinsurance transactions and excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring and stock compensation as well as other one-time items. Our spread related earnings equals net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following:

•Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets—Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities and mortgage loans, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, changes in the provision for credit losses and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized, allowances and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities and mortgage loans, other investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging annuity index credits, all foreign exchange impacts and the change in provision for credit losses recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to the MVAs associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.

•Non-operating Change in Insurance Liabilities and Related Derivatives

•Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives – Indexed Annuities—Consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the index credits on indexed annuities and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the indexed annuity hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new indexed annuity hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the indexed annuity hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the indexed annuity hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment.

We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our indexed annuity products (typically 1–2 years). On an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an indexed annuity contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.

•Non-operating Change in Funding Agreements—Consists of timing differences caused by changes to interest rates on variable funding agreements and funding agreement backed notes and the associated reserve accretion patterns of those contracts. Further included are adjustments for gains associated with our early repurchases of funding agreements, when applicable.

•Change in Fair Value of Market Risk Benefits—Consists primarily of volatility in capital market inputs used in the measurement at fair value of our market risk benefits, including certain impacts from changes in interest rates, equity returns and implied equity volatilities.

•Non-operating Change in Liability for Future Policy Benefits—Consists of the non-economic loss incurred at issuance for certain pension group annuities and other payout annuities with life contingencies when valuation interest rates prescribed by US GAAP are lower than the net investment earned rates, adjusted for profit, assumed in pricing. For such contracts with non-economic US GAAP losses, the SRE reserve accretes interest using an imputed discount rate that produces zero gain or loss at issuance.

•Integration, Restructuring, and Other Non-operating Items—Consists of restructuring and integration expenses related to acquisitions and block reinsurance costs, as well as certain other items, which are not predictable or related to our underlying profitability drivers.

Table of Contents

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

•Stock Compensation Expense—Consists of stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, including long-term incentive expenses, which are not related to our underlying profitability drivers and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.

•Income Tax Expense (Benefit)—Consists of the income tax effect of all income statement adjustments and is computed by applying the appropriate jurisdiction’s tax rate to all adjustments subject to income tax.

We consider these adjustments to be meaningful adjustments to net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder for the reasons discussed in greater detail above. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes the impact of these items is useful in analyzing our business performance and the trends in our results of operations. Together with net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder, we believe spread related earnings provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand our underlying results and profitability. Spread related earnings should not be used as a substitute for net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder.

Net Investment Spread

Net investment spread is a key measure of profitability used in analyzing the trends of our core business operations. Net investment spread measures our investment performance plus our strategic capital management fees, less our total cost of funds. Net investment earned rate is a key measure of our investment performance while cost of funds is a key measure of the cost of our policyholder benefits and liabilities. Strategic capital management fees consist of management fees received by us for business managed for others.

Net investment earned rate is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate the performance of our net invested assets. Net investment earned rate is computed as the income from our net invested assets divided by the average net invested assets, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. The primary adjustments to net investment income to arrive at our net investment earnings are (a) net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interests), (b) forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges, (c) amortization of premium/discount on held-for-trading securities, (d) the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, (e) an adjustment to the change in net asset value of our ADIP investments to recognize our proportionate share of spread related earnings based on our ownership in the investment funds and (f) the removal of the proportionate share of the ACRA net investment income associated with the noncontrolling interests. We include the income and assets supporting our change in fair value of reinsurance assets by evaluating the underlying investments of the funds withheld at interest receivables and we include the net investment income from those underlying investments which does not correspond to the US GAAP presentation of change in fair value of reinsurance assets. We exclude the income and assets on business related to ceded reinsurance transactions. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a net investment earned rate on the assets for which we have economic exposure. We believe a measure like net investment earned rate is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe net investment earned rate is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for net investment income presented under US GAAP.

Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting on deferred annuities and institutional products, as well as other liability costs, but does not include the proportionate share of the ACRA cost of funds associated with the noncontrolling interests. Cost of crediting on deferred annuities is the interest credited to the policyholders on our fixed strategies, as well as the option costs on the indexed annuity strategies. With respect to indexed annuities, the cost of providing index credits includes the expenses incurred to fund the annual index credits, and where applicable, minimum guaranteed interest credited. Cost of crediting on institutional products is comprised of (1) pension group annuity costs, including interest credited, benefit payments and other reserve changes, net of premiums received when issued, and (2) funding agreement costs, including interest expense and other reserve changes. Additionally, cost of crediting includes forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges. Other liability costs include DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization, certain market risk benefit costs, the cost of liabilities on products other than deferred annuities and institutional products, premiums, product charges, excluding market value adjustments, and certain other revenues. We include the costs related to business added through assumed reinsurance transactions and exclude the costs on business related to ceded reinsurance transactions. Cost of funds is computed as the total liability costs divided by the average net invested assets for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. We believe a measure like cost of funds is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe cost of funds is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total benefits and expenses presented under US GAAP.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses excludes interest expense, policy acquisition expenses, net of deferrals, integration, restructuring and other non-operating items, stock compensation and long-term incentive plan expenses and the proportionate share of the ACRA operating expenses associated with the noncontrolling interests. We believe a measure like other operating expenses is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. While we believe other operating expenses is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for policy and other operating expenses presented under US GAAP.

Adjusted Leverage Ratio

Adjusted leverage ratio is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our capital structure excluding the impacts of AOCI and the cumulative changes in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets, as well as mortgage loan assets, net of tax. Adjusted leverage ratio is calculated as total debt at notional value adjusted to exclude 50% of the notional value of subordinated debt as an equity credit plus 50% of the notional value of our preferred stock divided by adjusted capitalization. Adjusted capitalization includes our adjusted Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder’s equity and the notional value of our preferred stock and total debt. Adjusted Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder’s equity is calculated as the ending Athene Holding Ltd. stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI, the cumulative changes in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets and mortgage loan assets, as well as preferred stock. These adjustments fluctuate period to period in a manner inconsistent with our underlying profitability drivers as the majority of such fluctuation is related to the market volatility of the unrealized gains and losses associated with our AFS securities, reinsurance assets and mortgage loans. Except with respect to reinvestment activity relating to acquired blocks of businesses, we typically buy and hold investments to maturity throughout the duration of market fluctuations, therefore, the period-over-period impacts in unrealized gains and losses are not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance. Adjusted leverage ratio should not be used as a substitute for the leverage ratio. However, we believe the adjustments to stockholders’ equity and debt are significant to gaining an understanding of our capitalization, debt and preferred stock utilization and overall leverage capacity, because they provide insight into how rating agencies measure our capitalization, which is a consideration in how we manage our leverage capacity.

Net Invested Assets

In managing our business, we analyze net invested assets, which does not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net invested assets represent the investments that directly back our net reserve liabilities, as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Net invested assets include (a) total investments on the consolidated balance sheets, with AFS securities, trading securities and mortgage loans at cost or amortized cost, excluding derivatives, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE and VOE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest adjustments, (f) net investment payables and receivables, (g) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments) and (h) an adjustment for the allowance for credit losses. Net invested assets exclude the derivative collateral offsetting the related cash positions. We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements and exclude the underlying investments related to ceded reinsurance transactions in our net invested assets calculation in order to match the assets with the income received. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a view of the assets for which we have economic exposure. Net invested assets include our proportionate share of ACRA investments, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of investments associated with the noncontrolling interests. Our net invested assets are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period. While we believe net invested assets is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying drivers of our investment portfolio, it should not be used as a substitute for total investments, including related parties, presented under US GAAP.

Net Reserve Liabilities

In managing our business, we also analyze net reserve liabilities, which does not correspond to total liabilities as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net reserve liabilities represent our policyholder and institutional liability obligations net of reinsurance and are used to analyze the costs of our liabilities. Net reserve liabilities include (a) interest sensitive contract liabilities, (b) future policy benefits, (c) net market risk benefits, (d) long-term repurchase obligations, (e) dividends payable to policyholders and (f) other policy claims and benefits, offset by reinsurance recoverable, excluding policy loans ceded. Net reserve liabilities include our proportionate share of ACRA reserve liabilities, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interests. Net reserve liabilities are net of the ceded liabilities to third-party reinsurers as the costs of the liabilities are passed to such reinsurers and, therefore, we have no net economic exposure to such liabilities, assuming our reinsurance counterparties perform under our agreements. For such transactions, US GAAP requires the ceded liabilities and related reinsurance recoverables to continue to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements despite the transfer of economic risk to the counterparty in connection with the reinsurance transaction. We include the underlying liabilities assumed through modco reinsurance agreements in our net reserve liabilities calculation in order to match the liabilities with the expenses incurred. While we believe net reserve liabilities is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total liabilities presented under US GAAP.

Sales

Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under US GAAP but are used as relevant measures to understand our business performance as it relates to inflows generated during a specific period of time. Our sales statistics include inflows for deferred and indexed annuities and align with the LIMRA definition of all money paid into an individual annuity, including money paid into new contracts with initial purchase occurring in the specified period and existing contracts with initial purchase occurring prior to the specified period (excluding internal transfers). We believe sales is a meaningful metric that enhances our understanding of our business performance and is not the same as premiums presented in our consolidated statements of income.

In this section, references to 2025 refer to the year ended December 31, 2025 and references to 2024 refer to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net Income Available to Athene Holding Ltd. Common Stockholder

Net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder decreased by $646 million, or 20%, to $2.6 billion in 2025 from $3.3 billion in 2024. The decrease in net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder was primarily driven by a $5.5 billion increase in benefits and expenses, a $156 million increase in income tax expense (benefit) and a $67 million increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by a $5.0 billion increase in revenues and an $84 million increase from our preferred stock redemption.

Revenues

Revenues increased by $5.0 billion to $25.7 billion in 2025 from $20.7 billion in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net investment income, an increase in premiums and an increase in VIE investment related gains (losses), partially offset by a decrease in investment related gains (losses).

Net investment income increased by $3.4 billion to $17.8 billion in 2025 from $14.5 billion in 2024, primarily driven by significant growth in our investment portfolio attributable to strong net flows of $47.9 billion in 2025, higher rates on new deployment in comparison to our existing portfolio related to the higher interest rate environment, earlier deployment into assets during the year compared to 2024 and more favorable investment fund performance in 2025. These impacts were partially offset by lower floating rate income and higher investment management fees driven by the significant growth in our investment portfolio.

Premiums increased by $1.3 billion to $2.6 billion in 2025 from $1.3 billion in 2024, primarily driven by $1.3 billion of premium received from the execution of a whole life block reinsurance transaction in 2025 and an increase in payout annuity premiums, partially offset by a $167 million decrease in pension group annuity premiums compared to 2024.

VIE investment related gains (losses) increased by $687 million to $2.2 billion in 2025 from $1.5 billion in 2024, primarily driven by growth and investment performance within AAA related to favorable returns on the underlying assets, strong performance from newly consolidated VIEs, including AAA Lux, a favorable change in the fair value of mortgage loans held in VIEs related to a decrease in US Treasury rates in 2025 compared to an increase in 2024 and favorable returns from A-A Onshore Fund, LLC.

Investment related gains (losses) decreased by $501 million to $1.5 billion in 2025 from $2.0 billion in 2024, primarily driven by unfavorable net foreign exchange impacts, an increase in realized losses on AFS securities and an unfavorable change in the fair value of indexed annuity hedging derivatives, partially offset by a favorable change in the fair value of mortgage loans, reinsurance assets and trading securities, as well as a favorable change in the provision for credit losses. The unfavorable net foreign exchange impacts were primarily related to the weakening of the US dollar against foreign currencies in 2025 compared to 2024, including the impact from derivatives not designated as a hedge where the foreign exchange impact on the related asset is reported through AOCI. The change in the fair value of indexed annuity hedging derivatives decreased $51 million, primarily driven by less favorable performance of the equity indices upon which our call options are based. The largest percentage of our call options are based on the S&P 500 Index, which increased 16.4% in 2025, compared to an increase of 23.3% in 2024. The change in fair value of mortgage loans increased $1.2 billion, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets increased $319 million and the change in fair value of trading securities increased $208 million primarily driven by a decrease in US Treasury rates in 2025 compared to an increase 2024, partially offset by an unfavorable change in credit spreads compared to 2024. The favorable change in provision for credit losses of $70 million was primarily driven by a reduction in the allowance on corporate securities in 2025.

Benefits and Expenses

Benefits and expenses increased by $5.5 billion to $20.6 billion in 2025 from $15.1 billion in 2024. The increase was driven by an increase in interest sensitive contract benefits, an increase in future policy and other policy benefits, an increase in market risk benefits remeasurement (gains) losses, an increase in the amortization of DAC, DSI and VOBA and an increase in policy and other operating expenses. Our annual unlocking of assumptions resulted in a decrease in total benefits and expenses of $55 million compared to an increase of $31 million in 2024. The 2025 unlocking was driven by a decrease of $90 million in interest sensitive contract benefits and a decrease of $59 million in market risk benefits, partially offset by an increase of $53 million related to DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization and an increase of $41 million in future policy and other policy benefits. The 2024 unlocking was driven by an increase of $62 million in market risk benefits, an increase of $21 million related to DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization and an increase of $8 million in interest sensitive contract benefits, partially offset by a decrease of $60 million in future policy and other policy benefits.

Interest sensitive contract benefits increased by $3.1 billion to $12.1 billion in 2025 from $8.9 billion in 2024, primarily driven by significant growth in our deferred annuity and funding agreement blocks of business, higher rates on new deferred annuity and funding agreement issuances, as well as runoff of lower rate business, in comparison to our existing blocks of business, earlier origination of new business within the year compared to 2024 and an increase in the change in our indexed annuity reserves. These impacts were partially offset by lower rates on floating rate funding agreements and a favorable change in unlocking. The change in our indexed annuity reserves includes the impact from changes in the fair value of indexed annuity embedded derivatives. The increase in the change in fair value of indexed annuity embedded derivatives of $873 million was primarily due to the unfavorable change in discount rates used in our embedded derivative calculations as 2025 experienced a decrease in discount rates compared to an increase in 2024. This was partially offset by the favorable impact of rate movements on policyholder projected benefits and less favorable performance of the equity indices to which our indexed annuity policies are linked. The largest percentage of our indexed annuity policies are linked to the S&P 500 Index, which increased 16.4% in 2025, compared to an increase of 23.3% in 2024. The fair value of indexed annuity embedded derivative and investment contract provision unlocking in 2025 was $79 million favorable primarily due to changes to projected interest crediting, partially offset by changes in policyholder behavior and mortality assumptions, while 2024 unlocking was $67 million unfavorable primarily due to changes to projected interest crediting. The negative VOBA unlocking related to our interest sensitive contract liabilities in 2025 was $11 million favorable mainly due to changes in policyholder behavior, partially offset by updated economic assumptions, while 2024 unlocking was $59 million favorable mainly due to updated economic assumptions and changes in policyholder behavior.

Future policy and other policy benefits increased by $1.4 billion to $4.4 billion in 2025 from $3.1 billion in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in life reserves due to the execution of a $1.3 billion whole life block reinsurance transaction in 2025, an unfavorable change in unlocking and an increase in the AmerUs Closed Block fair value liability, partially offset by a $167 million decrease in pension group annuity obligations compared to 2024. The change in the AmerUs Closed Block fair value liability was primarily due to unrealized gains on the underlying assets reflecting a decrease in US Treasury rates in 2025 compared to an increase in 2024, partially offset by an unfavorable change in credit spreads compared to 2024. Unlocking in 2025 was $41 million unfavorable, consisting of $77 million of unfavorable future policy benefit reserve unlocking, partially offset by $36 million of favorable negative VOBA and deferred profit liability unlocking. The unfavorable unlocking primarily related to updated mortality assumptions and changes in policyholder behavior, partially offset by updated economic assumptions. Unlocking in 2024 was $60 million favorable, consisting of $104 million of favorable future policy benefit reserve unlocking, partially offset by $44 million of unfavorable negative VOBA and deferred profit liability unlocking. The favorable unlocking primarily related to updated mortality assumptions, partially offset by changes in policyholder behavior.

Market risk benefits remeasurement (gains) losses increased by $554 million to $452 million in 2025 from $(102) million in 2024. The losses in 2025 compared to gains in 2024 were primarily driven by an unfavorable change in the fair value of market risk benefits primarily due to rate movements, partially offset by a favorable change in unlocking. The change in fair value of market risk benefits was $665 million unfavorable due to a decrease in the risk-free discount rates across the long end of the curve compared to 2024, which are used in the fair value measurement of the liability for market risk benefits. The market risk benefits unlocking in 2025 was $59 million favorable primarily due to changes in policyholder behavior and updated mortality assumptions, partially offset by changes in projected interest crediting, while 2024 unlocking was $62 million unfavorable primarily due to changes in policyholder behavior, partially offset by updated economic assumptions.

Amortization of DAC, DSI and VOBA increased by $301 million to $1.2 billion in 2025 from $941 million in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in acquisition and sale incentive costs that are deferred and amortized due to strong growth in our deferred annuity business as well as an unfavorable change in unlocking. Unlocking in 2025 was $53 million unfavorable mainly related to changes in policyholder behavior and projected interest crediting as well as updated economic and mortality assumptions, while unlocking in 2024 was $21 million unfavorable mainly related to changes to projected interest crediting and policyholder behavior.

Policy and other operating expenses increased by $141 million to $2.4 billion in 2025 from $2.2 billion in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in interest expense and policy acquisition expenses related to significant growth. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in host accretion on business ceded to Catalina, as well as interest related to additional issuances of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2025 and a full year of interest on long-term debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2024. These impacts were partially offset by the recognition of $152 million of expense related to guaranty association assessments levied against us in connection with the Bankers Life Insurance Company (BLIC) and Colorado Bankers Life Insurance Company (CBLIC) insolvencies in 2024.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit) increased by $156 million to $886 million in 2025 from $730 million in 2024, primarily driven by impacts from the Bermuda CIT, which became effective in 2025, and changes in the valuation allowance, partially offset by a decrease in pretax income subject to US income tax. Our effective tax rate in 2025 was 17% compared to 13% in 2024.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $67 million to $1.5 billion in 2025 from $1.4 billion in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in noncontrolling interests related to the consolidation of AAA Lux during the fourth quarter of 2025, which experienced favorable returns on the underlying assets of the fund. Additionally, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased due to favorable investment performance within AAA and a favorable change in fair value of mortgage loans and reinsurance assets within ACRA compared to 2024. These impacts were partially offset by unfavorable net foreign exchange impacts, an unfavorable net change in the fair value of attributed indexed annuity derivatives and embedded derivatives, impacts from the Bermuda CIT that became effective in 2025 and an increase in realized losses on the sale of investments within ACRA.

Preferred Stock Redemption

Preferred stock redemption increased by $84 million to $84 million in 2025 from $0 million in 2024 driven by the redemption of our Fixed-Rate Reset Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C (Series C) at par value, which was below our carrying value of $684 million, in the second quarter of 2025.

Spread Related Earnings

SRE increased by $140 million, or 4%, to $3.4 billion in 2025 from $3.2 billion in 2024. The increase in SRE was primarily driven by an increase in net investment earnings and strategic capital management fees, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds and interest and other financing costs.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Net investment earnings increased by $2.6 billion to $14.3 billion in 2025 from $11.8 billion in 2024, primarily driven by $39.1 billion of growth in our average net invested assets, higher rates on new deployment compared to our existing portfolio related to the higher interest rate environment, an increase in alternative net investment income and earlier deployment into assets during the year compared to 2024, partially offset by lower floating rate income, higher investment management fees driven by the significant growth in our investment portfolio and prepayment of higher yielding assets. The increase in alternative net investment income compared to 2024 was primarily driven by more favorable performance within origination and retirement services platforms as well as equity funds, partially offset by less favorable performance within credit funds. The increase in income from origination platforms was mainly attributable to an initial mark from cost to fair value and origination outperformance on Atlas in 2025, robust deployment following a capital raise within Apterra in 2025 and strong growth from origination partnerships within Aqua Finance in 2025 compared to a valuation decrease in 2024, partially offset by stronger growth from Redding Ridge in 2024. The increase in income from retirement services platforms was primarily related to a valuation increase on Venerable Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Venerable) in 2025 related to the announcement of a reinsurance transaction with Corebridge Financial, Inc. (Corebridge), unfavorable returns on our investment in Catalina in 2024 not recurring in 2025 due to the distribution of our Catalina common equity interests to AGM as a dividend in the third quarter of 2024 and realized losses from the sale of Challenger Limited (Challenger) common equity shares in 2024. These impacts were partially offset by increased capital requirements related to expanded solvency requirements and competitive dynamics within the pension market impacting the valuation of Athora in 2025. The increase in income from equity funds was mainly attributable to more favorable performance within structured equity in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in income from credit funds was primarily driven by more favorable credit spread tightening in 2024 compared to 2025.

Strategic capital management fees increased by $26 million to $131 million in 2025 from $105 million in 2024, primarily driven by additional fees received from ADIP II and Catalina attributable to strong net flows into ACRA 2 and Catalina in 2025.

Cost of funds increased by $2.4 billion to $10.1 billion in 2025 from $7.7 billion in 2024, primarily driven by significant growth in deferred annuity and funding agreement business, higher rates on new business and runoff of lower rate business compared to existing blocks, earlier origination of new business within the year compared to 2024, a shift in business mix to more institutional business at higher crediting rates and an unfavorable change in unlocking. These impacts were partially offset by lower rates on floating rate funding agreements. Unlocking, net of the noncontrolling interests, in 2025 was favorable $5 million primarily related to updated mortality assumptions and changes in policyholder behavior, partially offset by changes to projected interest crediting and updated economic assumptions. Unlocking, net of the noncontrolling interests, in 2024 was favorable $16 million primarily related to updated mortality and economic assumptions, partially offset by changes in policyholder behavior and projected interest crediting.

Interest and other financing costs increased by $95 million to $560 million in 2025 from $465 million in 2024, primarily driven by higher interest expense related to additional issuances of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2025 and a full year of interest on long-term debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by a decrease in preferred stock dividends due to the redemption of our Series C preferred stock in the second quarter of 2025.

Net investment spread decreased 17 basis points to 1.61% in 2025 from 1.78% in 2024, primarily driven by higher cost of funds, partially offset by a higher net investment earned rate.

Cost of funds increased 40 basis points to 3.69% in 2025 from 3.29% in 2024, primarily driven by higher rates on new business and runoff of lower rate business compared to existing blocks, earlier origination of new business within the year compared to 2024, a shift in business mix to more institutional business at higher crediting rates and an unfavorable change in unlocking. These impacts were partially offset by lower rates on floating rate funding agreements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Net investment earned rate increased 22 basis points to 5.25% in 2025 from 5.03% in 2024, primarily due to higher returns in both our fixed income and alternative investment portfolios. Fixed income and other net investment earned rate was 5.01% in 2025, an increase from 4.87% in 2024, primarily driven by higher rates on new deployment compared to our existing portfolio related to the higher interest rate environment and earlier deployment into assets during the year compared to 2024, partially offset by lower floating rate income and prepayment of higher yielding assets. Alternative net investment earned rate was 10.01% in 2025, an increase from 8.03% in 2024, primarily driven by more favorable performance within origination and retirement services platforms as well as equity funds, partially offset by less favorable performance within credit funds. The higher return from origination platforms was mainly attributable to an initial mark from cost to fair value and origination outperformance on Atlas in 2025, robust deployment following a capital raise within Apterra in 2025 and strong growth from origination partnerships within Aqua Finance in 2025 compared to a valuation decrease in 2024, partially offset by stronger growth from Redding Ridge in 2024. The higher return from retirement services platforms was primarily related to a valuation increase on Venerable in 2025 related to the announcement of a reinsurance transaction with Corebridge, unfavorable returns on our investment in Catalina in 2024 not recurring in 2025 due to the distribution of our Catalina common equity interests to AGM as a dividend in the third quarter of 2024 and realized losses from the sale of Challenger common equity shares in 2024. These impacts were partially offset by increased capital requirements related to expanded solvency requirements and competitive dynamics within the pension market impacting the valuation of Athora in 2025. The higher return from equity funds was mainly attributable to more favorable performance within structured equity in 2025 compared to 2024. The lower return from credit funds was primarily driven by more favorable credit spread tightening in 2024 compared to 2025.

Adjustments to Net Income Available to Athene Holding Ltd. Common Stockholder

The adjustments to net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder are comprised of investment gains (losses), net of offsets; non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives; integration, restructuring and other non-operating items; stock compensation expense and the non-operating income tax expense (benefit) related to these adjustments. The decrease in adjustments to net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives and a decrease in investment gains (losses), net of offsets, partially offset by a decrease in integration, restructuring and other non-operating items. Our annual unlocking of assumptions, net of the noncontrolling interests, resulted in an increase in our adjustments to net income available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder of $74 million compared to a decrease of $11 million in 2024. The 2025 unlocking was driven by $75 million favorable indexed annuity embedded derivative unlocking, partially offset by $1 million unfavorable liability for future policy benefits unlocking. The 2024 unlocking was driven by $26 million unfavorable indexed annuity embedded derivative unlocking, partially offset by $14 million favorable market risk benefits unlocking and $1 million favorable liability for future policy benefits unlocking.

Non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives decreased $755 million, primarily driven by an unfavorable change in the fair value of market risk benefits and net indexed annuity derivatives. The $654 million unfavorable change in fair value of market risk benefits was primarily driven by a decrease in the risk-free discount rates across the long end of the curve compared to 2024, which are used in the fair value measurement of the liability for market risk benefits, and an unfavorable change in unlocking. The fair value of market risk benefits unlocking, net of the noncontrolling interests, in 2025 resulted in no impact, while 2024 unlocking was $14 million favorable primarily due to updated economic assumptions. The $111 million unfavorable change in the fair value of net indexed annuity derivatives was primarily driven by the unfavorable change in discount rates used in our embedded derivative calculations as 2025 experienced a decrease in discount rates compared to an increase in 2024. The change in net indexed annuity derivatives was also driven by the performance of the equity indices to which our indexed annuity policies are linked. The largest percentage of our indexed annuity policies are linked to the S&P 500 Index, which increased 16.4% in 2025, compared to an increase of 23.3% in 2024. These impacts were partially offset by the favorable impact of rates on policyholder projected benefits compared to 2024 and a favorable change in unlocking. The fair value of indexed annuity embedded derivative unlocking, net of the noncontrolling interests, in 2025 was $75 million favorable primarily due to changes to projected interest crediting, partially offset by changes in policyholder behavior and mortality assumptions, while 2024 unlocking was $26 million unfavorable primarily due to changes to projected interest crediting.

Investment gains (losses), net of offsets, decreased $198 million, primarily driven by unfavorable net foreign exchange impacts and an increase in realized losses on AFS securities, partially offset by a favorable change in the fair value of mortgage loans and reinsurance assets, as well as a favorable change in the provision for credit losses. The unfavorable net foreign exchange impacts were primarily related to the weakening of the US dollar against foreign currencies in 2025 compared to 2024, including the impact from derivatives not designated as a hedge where the foreign exchange impact on the related asset is reported through AOCI. The favorable change in the fair value of mortgage loans of $1.1 billion and reinsurance assets of $164 million was primarily driven by a decrease in US Treasury rates in 2025 compared to an increase in 2024, partially offset by an unfavorable change in credit spreads compared to 2024. The favorable change in provision for credit losses of $82 million was primarily driven by a reduction in the allowance on corporate securities in 2025.

Integration, restructuring and other non-operating items decreased $203 million, primarily driven by the recognition of $101 million of expense, net of the noncontrolling interests, related to guaranty association assessments levied against us in connection with the BLIC and CBLIC insolvencies in 2024 as well as the $84 million gain on the redemption of our Series C preferred stock in the second quarter of 2025.

Investment Portfolio

We had total investments, including related parties and consolidated VIEs, of $386.6 billion and $315.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our investment strategy seeks to achieve sustainable risk-adjusted returns through the disciplined management of our investment portfolio against our long-duration liabilities, coupled with the diversification of risk. The investment strategies utilized by our investment manager focus primarily on a buy and hold asset allocation strategy that may be adjusted periodically in response to changing market conditions and the nature of our liability profile. Substantially all of our investment portfolio is managed by Apollo, which provides a full suite of services for our investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisitions asset diligence, and certain operational support services including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Our relationship with Apollo allows us to take advantage of our generally persistent liability profile by identifying investment opportunities with an emphasis on earning incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk rather than assuming incremental credit risk. Apollo’s investment team and credit portfolio managers utilize their deep experience to assist us in sourcing and underwriting complex asset classes. Apollo has selected a diverse array of primarily high-grade fixed income assets including corporate bonds, structured securities, and commercial and residential real estate loans, among others. We also maintain holdings in floating rate and less rate-sensitive instruments, including CLOs, non-agency RMBS and various types of structured products. In addition to our fixed income portfolio, we opportunistically allocate approximately 5% of our portfolio to alternative investments where we primarily focus on fixed income-like, cash flow-based investments.

Net investment income on the consolidated statements of income includes management fees under our investment management arrangements with Apollo. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we incurred management fees, inclusive of the base, sub-allocation and performance fees, net of any waivers or rebates, of $1.4 billion, $1.3 billion and $975 million, respectively, and additional sub-advisory and other fees incurred to ISG for the benefit of third-party service providers of $66 million, $16 million and $12 million, respectively.

Our net invested assets, which are those that directly back our net reserve liabilities, as well as surplus assets, were $292.4 billion and $248.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Apollo’s knowledge of our funding structure and regulatory requirements allows it to design customized strategies and investments for our portfolio. Apollo manages our asset portfolio within the limits and protocols set forth in our Investment and Credit Risk Policy. Under this policy, we set limits on investments in our portfolio by asset class, such as corporate bonds, emerging markets securities, municipal bonds, non-agency RMBS, CMBS, CLOs, commercial mortgage whole loans and mezzanine loans and investment funds. We also set credit risk limits for exposure to a single issuer, which vary based on the issuer’s ratings. Our strategic investments are also governed by our Strategic Investment Risk Policy which provides for special governance and risk management procedures for these transactions. In addition, our investment portfolio is constrained by its scenario-based capital ratio limits and its liquidity limits.

Our total investments, including related parties and consolidated VIEs, were $386.6 billion and $315.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by significant growth from gross inflows of $83.4 billion in excess of gross liability outflows of $35.5 billion, reinvestment of earnings and unrealized gains on investments, including foreign exchange impacts. The unrealized gains on investments during the year ended December 31, 2025 included AFS securities of $4.5 billion, as well as gains from mortgage loans and reinsurance assets, attributable to a decrease in US Treasury rates in 2025. Unrealized foreign exchange gains on foreign denominated assets were primarily related to the weakening of the US dollar against foreign currencies in 2025. Additionally, total investments, including related parties and consolidated VIEs, increased due to an increase in VIE investments and an increase in derivative assets primarily related to our call options, net of derivative swap and forward contract impacts. The increase in VIE investments was primarily driven by third party contributions into AAA Lux and AAA and favorable performance of the underlying assets within AAA and AAA Lux, partially offset by the deconsolidation of several VIEs in 2025.

Our investment portfolio consists largely of high quality fixed maturity securities, loans and short-term investments, as well as additional opportunistic holdings in investment funds and other instruments, including equity holdings. Fixed maturity securities and loans include publicly issued corporate bonds, government and other sovereign bonds, privately placed corporate bonds and loans, mortgage loans, CMBS, RMBS, CLOs and asset-backed securities (ABS).

While the substantial majority of our investment portfolio has been allocated to corporate bonds and structured credit products, a key component of our investment strategy is the opportunistic acquisition of investment funds with attractive risk and return profiles. Our investment fund portfolio consists of funds or similar equity structures that employ various strategies including equity and credit funds. We have a strong preference for alternative investments that have some or all of the following characteristics, among others: (1) investments with credit- or debt-like characteristics (for example, a stipulated maturity and par value), or alternatively, investments with reduced volatility when compared to pure equity; or (2) investments that we believe have less downside risk.

We hold derivatives for economic hedging purposes to reduce our exposure to the cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, equity market risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. Our primary use of derivative instruments relates to providing the income needed to fund the annual index credits on our indexed annuity products. We primarily use indexed options to economically hedge indexed annuity products that guarantee the return of principal to the policyholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specific market index. We also use derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and swaps, to hedge foreign currency exposure resulting from foreign denominated assets and liabilities and to help manage our net floating rate position.

With respect to derivative positions, we transact with highly rated counterparties, and expect the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. We generally use industry standard agreements and annexes with bilateral collateral provisions to further reduce counterparty credit exposure.

Related Party Investments

We hold investments in related party assets primarily comprised of AFS securities, trading securities, funds withheld at interest receivables, mortgage loans within our triple net lease investment, and investment funds, which primarily include investments over which Apollo can exercise influence. As of December 31, 2025, these investments totaled $60.1 billion, or 13.7% of our total assets. Related party AFS and trading securities primarily consist of structured securities for which Apollo is the manager of the underlying securitization vehicle and securities issued by asset origination platforms including Wheels and MidCap Financial. In each case, the underlying collateral, borrower or other credit party is generally unaffiliated with us. The funds withheld at interest related party amount is comprised of the Venerable reinsurance portfolios, which are considered related party even though a significant majority of the underlying assets within the investment portfolios do not have a related party affiliation. Related party investment funds include investments in asset origination and retirement services platforms and investments in Apollo managed funds.

A summary of our related party investments reflecting the nature of the affiliation is as follows:

Total related party investments	$	60,138	13.7	%	$	47,375	13.0	%

As of December 31, 2025, a $4.2 billion funds withheld reinsurance asset with Venerable was included in our US GAAP related party investments. Venerable is a related party due to our minority equity investment in its holding company’s parent, VA Capital Company LLC (VA Capital). For US GAAP, each funds withheld and modified coinsurance reinsurance portfolio is treated as one asset rather than reporting the underlying investments in the portfolio. For our non-GAAP measure of net invested assets, we provide visibility into the underlying assets within these reinsurance portfolios. The below table looks through to the underlying assets within our reinsurance portfolios to determine the related party status. As of December 31, 2025, $37.0 billion, or 12.8% of our total net invested assets were related party investments. Of these, approximately $21.2 billion, or 7.3% of our net invested assets, were structured securities for which Apollo or an affiliated asset origination platform was the manager of the underlying securitization vehicle, but the underlying collateral, borrower or other credit party is generally unaffiliated with us. Related party investments in affiliated companies or Apollo funds represented $15.8 billion, or 5.5% of our net invested assets.

AFS Securities

We invest in AFS securities and attempt to source investments that match our future cash flow needs. However, we may sell any of our investments in advance of maturity to timely satisfy our liabilities as they become due or to respond to a change in the credit profile or other characteristics of the particular investment.

AFS securities are carried at fair value, less allowances for expected credit losses, on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of our AFS securities, are charged or credited to other comprehensive income, net of tax. All changes in the allowance for expected credit losses, whether due to passage of time, change in expected cash flows or change in fair value are recorded through the provision for credit losses within investment related gains (losses) on the consolidated statements of income.
