Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on the combined and consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd. (the “Company”), the consolidated financial statements of American National Insurance Company (“American National”), Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo”) and American Equity Investment Life Holding Company (“AEL”), and the financial information of the Real Estate Assets (as defined below) as adjusted to give effect to the acquisitions of American National (the “American National acquisition”), the Real Estate Assets and Argo (the “Argo acquisition”), and the probable acquisition of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company (“AEL acquisition”). These Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the following transaction accounting adjustments that occurred upon completion of the American National acquisition, the acquisition of the Real Estate Assets and the Argo acquisition, or are expected to occur upon completion of the AEL acquisition (collectively, the “Transactions”):

Consummated transactions:

 

   

The Company acquired a 100% interest in American National for total cash consideration of $5.1 billion. American National offers a broad portfolio of insurance products, including individual and group life insurance, annuities, health insurance, and property and casualty insurance. The Company acquired control of American National on May 25, 2022 and funded the acquisition through the issuance of $3.6 billion of junior preferred shares and class C shares to Brookfield Corporation and $1.5 billion of term loans issued to a consortium of external lenders.

 

   

In the first half of 2023, the Company acquired interests in a portfolio of core office and mixed-use real estate properties (“Real Estate Assets”) which are accounted for as equity method investments. The properties are office and mixed-use commercial properties that provide stable operating income to the Company’s insurance portfolio. Total fair value of the consideration transferred in relation to the portfolio of assets acquired was approximately $800 million, and was funded with cash on hand available to the Company.

 

   

On November 16, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% interest in Argo for total cash consideration of $1.1 billion. Argo is a U.S. focused underwriter of specialty insurance products in the property and casualty market. The Company has funded the transaction with existing cash on hand available to the Company.

Probable transaction:

 

   

The Company is expected to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AEL it does not already own for total expected consideration of $3.4 billion, which values AEL at $4.3 billion. AEL is a U.S. based insurance company, specializing in the development and sale of annuity and life insurance products. The Company is expected to fund the transaction with cash on hand available to the Company, class A limited voting shares of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“BAM”), and $350 million of debt financing.

The information in the Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results give effect to the pro forma adjustments as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2022. The information in the Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position gives effect to the pro forma adjustments of the Argo transaction as consummated and the AEL acquisition as probable on June 30, 2023. As a result of the acquisition of American National on May 25, 2022, the acquired assets and liabilities of American National are included within the statement of financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and the results of American National have been included in the Company’s statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a result of the acquisition of the Real Estate Assets in the first half of 2023, the investments in the Real Estate Assets are included within the statement of financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023. All financial data in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements is presented in U.S. dollars, and unless otherwise noted, has been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on preliminary estimates, accounting judgments and currently available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements provide a detailed discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

Pro Forma Adjustments

 

1.

Real Estate Assets

In the first half of 2023, the Company acquired the Real Estate Assets, which are interests in a portfolio of core office and mixed-use real estate properties. The Company’s interests in the Real Estate Assets range from 5.8 to 49.5 percent, which do not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest and are deemed to provide the Company with the ability to exert significant influence over the properties, and therefore the Company accounts for such interests using the equity method.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

a.

The historical financial statements of Argo are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has reviewed and determined that there are no material differences in accounting policies applied by Argo and the Company.

 

b.

Certain reclassification adjustments have been recorded to conform Argo’s financial statement presentation to the presentation used by the Company.

c.

The Argo acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805 Business Combinations with the Company being identified as the acquirer. The pro forma adjustments in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position record the use of $1.1 billion of cash on hand at the Company in exchange for the net assets of Argo. The following table summarizes, on a preliminary basis, the expected cash consideration transferred, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and any resulting goodwill:

The purchase price allocation is determined with the detailed valuations and necessary calculations to the adjustments referred to in the explanatory notes below. The allocation includes (1) fair value adjustments to policyholder and contract claims; (2) recognition of the value of business acquired or other intangible assets such as insurance licenses, broker relationship, internally developed software, and trade names and (3) other changes to assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for illustrative purposes.

Preliminary ASC 805 adjustments include the following:

 

i.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are adjusted to their acquisition date fair value based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.

 

ii.

This adjustment removes the $119 million of goodwill previously recognized by Argo, and the recognition of a goodwill of $16 million, based on the purchase price allocation as outlined above.

 

iii.

Reflects a decrease of $30 million in subsidiary borrowings and the corresponding decrease in interest expense associated with the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of assumed debt on acquisition.

 

iv.

This relates to the payment of purchase price of $1.1 billion to Argo’s historical common stockholders and the elimination of Argo’s historical equity, in conjunction with the adjustment to reflect the cash position in the latest purchase price allocation.

 

v.

These adjustments reflect the elimination of $95 million of historical deferred gain as it relates to cash collected upfront for premiums that have not been earned. The unearned premium is reset as part of the purchase price allocation within policy and contract claims.

 

vi.

This adjustment reflects the purchase accounting adjustments to the Argo historical deferred tax assets of $101 million. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results has been adjusted to reflect the income tax and deferred tax impact of the transaction accounting adjustments based on an effective tax rate of 21%.

 

9


vii.

This adjustment eliminates the deferred policy acquisition costs previously recognized by Argo which do not represent rights to future cash flows, and now reflects the $180 million of VOBA recognized as part of purchase price allocation. This results in an increase of commission expenses for acquiring and servicing policies arising from amortization of $68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

viii.

Reflects intangible assets of $136 million upon acquisition, primarily consist of insurance licenses, broker relationship, internally developed software, and trade names. Amortization expense of $19 million related to those with a definite useful life is included in Argo’s Unaudited Pro forma Statement of Operating Results.

 

ix.

Reflects the accrual of $10 million of estimated transaction costs to be incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Argo. These costs are reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and will not affect the Company’s statement of operating results beyond 12 months after the acquisition date.

 

x.

On February 2, 2023, Argo completed the sale of the entire issued share capital of Argo Underwriting Agency Limited for total consideration of $156 million, which included cash proceeds of $125 million and an additional $31 million placed in escrow related to certain reinsurance-related recoverables. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 has been adjusted to give effect to the disposition by removing the results of disposed operations for the period from January 1, 2023 to the date of the disposal.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

a.

The historical financial statements of Argo are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has determined that there are no material differences in accounting policies applied by Argo and the Company.

 

b.

Certain reclassification adjustments have been recorded to conform Argo’s financial statement presentation to the presentation used by the Company.

 

c.

On February 2, 2023, Argo completed the sale of the entire issued share capital of Argo Underwriting Agency Limited for total consideration of $156 million, which included cash proceeds of $125 million and an additional $31 million placed in escrow related to certain reinsurance-related recoverables. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results have been adjusted to give effect to the disposition by removing the results of disposed operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

d.

Preliminary ASC 805 adjustments include the following:

 

  i.

Eliminates the deferred policy acquisition costs previously recognized by Argo which do not represent rights to future cash flows, and reflects the amortization of VOBA recognized as part of purchase price allocation. This results in a net increase to commissions for acquiring and servicing policies of $138 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

  ii.

Reflects the accrual of $10 million of estimated transaction costs to be incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Argo. These costs are reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and will not affect the Company’s statement of operating results beyond 12 months after the acquisition date. The adjustment also includes $38 million of amortization expense on the intangible assets with definite useful life recognized as part of the purchase price allocation.

 

  iii.

Reflects a decrease in interest expense associated with the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of assumed debt on acquisition.

 

  iv.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results has been adjusted to reflect the income tax and deferred tax impact of the transaction accounting adjustments based on an effective tax rate of 21%.

 

e.

The historical financial statements of Argo included an impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of $28 million, consisting of a $17 million impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets and $11 million of goodwill. These impairment charges have not been reversed. As Argo Underwriting Agency Limited was subsequently disposed of, the impairment charges are expected to be non-recurring.

The following tables and explanatory notes present the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2023 and the statement of operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of AEL, as adjusted to give effect to the AEL acquisition. As part of the definitive merger agreement, each issued and outstanding share of AEL not already owned by the Company will be converted into the right to receive $55.00 per share at closing of the merger, payable in cash and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE, TSX: BAM) (“BAM”) class A limited voting shares (“BAM Shares”). In certain circumstances, the Company will have the option to pay cash for the share portion of the consideration. For purpose of these unaudited pro forma financial statements, it is assumed that consideration is comprised of approximately $2.4 billion in cash which will be partly financed by $350 million of debt financing, 30.8 million BAM shares valued at $38.85 per share, and $875 million of the Company’s pre-existing investment in AEL. The merger consideration per AEL common share represents a 35% premium to AEL’s closing share price on June 23, 2023 and a 42% premium to the 90-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) as of the same date, in each case, for the AEL common shares. Subsequent to the acquisition, AEL’s preferred shares will continue to be outstanding and be part of the Company’s non-controlling interests.

The preliminary purchase price allocation used to prepare the transaction accounting adjustments in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position is based on various assumptions to determine management’s best estimates of fair value. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations to the adjustments referred to in the explanatory notes below. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for illustrative purposes.

Preliminary ASC 805 adjustments include the following:

 

  i.

As part of the transaction, the Company is expected to issue Class C shares to Brookfield Corporation in exchange for BAM class A limited voting shares, which will in turn be used as payment for the acquisition. These adjustments reflect the AEL’s equity net of total considerations of $4.3 billion, which comprise cash, the Company’s existing investment in AEL, as well as BAM’s Class A limited voting shares. The adjustments also include the elimination of AEL’s historical equity. The cash portion of the consideration is expected to be funded by additional subsidiary borrowings of $350 million and through the issuance of additional equity. Noncontrolling interest has been adjusted to reflect the fair value of AEL’s preferred shares which will continue to be outstanding upon closing of the acquisition.

 

  ii.

Includes $2.5 billion related to the recognition of goodwill and VOBA, as well as intangible assets related to brand name and distribution channels, based on the preliminary purchase price as outlined above. The preliminary allocation of the $2.5 billion to goodwill, VOBA and intangibles is estimated to be in the range of $500 million to $1.2 billion, $500 million to $1.1 billion and $0 to $200 million, respectively.

 

16


  iii.

Reflects an increase of $345 million in subsidiary borrowings as part of the financing of the transaction and the adjustment to reflect the fair value of AEL’s existing financing, as well as the corresponding interest expense.

 

  iv.

Eliminates the deferred policy acquisition and deferred sales inducement costs previously recognized by AEL which do not represent rights to future cash flows. Deferred policy acquisitions costs will be reset through the finalization of the purchase price allocation. This results in a decrease to total assets of $5.0 billion as at June 30, 2023 and a decrease of $94 million and $137 million of amortization of the sales inducement costs and deferred acquisition costs, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

  v.

Reflects the accrual of $50 million of liability associated with the estimated transaction costs to be incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisition of AEL. These transaction costs are reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and will not affect the Company’s statement of operating results beyond 12 months after the acquisition date.

 

  vi.

Reflects the purchase accounting adjustments of $743 million to the AEL historical deferred tax assets. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results has been adjusted to reflect the deferred tax impact of the transaction accounting adjustments based on an effective tax rate of 21%.

 

  vii.

Reflects the fair value of the balances to give effect to the acquisition.

 

  viii.

Reflects the reversal of reinsurance funds withheld and derivative balances related to reinsurance treaties between the Company and AEL that will eliminate upon acquisition.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  a.

The financial information of American National was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has determined that there were no material differences in accounting policies applied by American National and the Company for the period from January 1, 2022 to the date of acquisition on May 25, 2022.

  b.

The American National acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805 Business Combinations with the Company identified as the acquirer. The consideration transferred for the acquisition was $5.1 billion of cash on hand in exchange for the net assets of American National. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation recorded by the Company and included in its audited statement of financial position as at December 31, 2022 reflects the cash consideration transferred, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and the resulting goodwill:

The following ASC 805 adjustments have been made to prepare the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results in order to give effect to the acquisition of American National as though it had occurred on January 1, 2022:

 

  i.

This adjustment records the additional amortization expense related to the value of business acquired intangible asset recognized by the Company on acquisition, net of the reversal of the amortization of American National’s deferred policy acquisition costs that had previously been recorded which do not represent rights to future cash flows. This results in an increase in changes in deferred acquisition costs of $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

  ii.

The Company financed the cash purchase price paid to acquire control of American National through the issuance of $3.6 billion of junior preferred shares to Brookfield Corporation and $1.5 billion of term loans issued to a consortium of external lenders. This adjustment reflects the additional interest expense that would have been incurred on the term loans that accrue interest at 1.42% per annum, had the facilities been in place on January 1, 2022.

 

  iii.

This adjustment reflects the income tax impact of the ASC 805 adjustments recorded, based on an effective tax rate of 21%.

5. Earnings per share

The payment of distributions on our Company’s class A exchangeable shares and our class B shares are at the discretion of our board. Distributions on these shares are typically made quarterly, at the end of March, June, September and December of each year. The class A exchangeable shares and the class B shares have been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one Brookfield Class A Share, and receive the same distribution amount as the Brookfield Class A holders. As a result, Brookfield Class A shareholders and Brookfield Reinsurance’s class A exchangeable shareholders received distributions of $0.56 per share for the full year ended December 31, 2022. Following the spin-off of Brookfield Asset Management from Brookfield Corporation in December 2022, it is expected that in 2023 the holders of Brookfield Class A Shares and Brookfield Reinsurance class A exchangeable shareholders will receive a quarterly distribution of $0.07 per share, or $0.28 annually. The holder of our class C shares are entitled to receive distributions if, as and when declared by our board subject to the prior rights of the holders of all classes and series of the preferred shares, class A exchangeable shares, class B shares, and any other shares ranking senior to the class C shares with respect to priority in payment of distributions.

Pro forma basic earnings per share have been calculated using the weighted-average number of class C shares of 122,768,366 and of 133,033,422 for pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. This reflects the additional class C share to be issued as part of the consideration for the AEL acquisition. The Company has no potentially dilutive instruments. Class A exchangeable shares and class B shares are not considered participating securities or considered to be ordinary shares as defined within U.S. GAAP and consequently per share amounts for these classes of shares has not been presented.

6. Master Services Agreement with Brookfield Corporation

Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries provide management services to the Company pursuant to a master services agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, on a quarterly basis, the Company pays a base management fee to the service providers equal to 0.0625% (0.25% annually) of the capital managed by Brookfield Corporation and its subsidiaries. The base management fee is expected to increase by $135 million annually from the probable transactions, which has not been reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
