Legal Proceedings

For significant litigation matters, we assess the likelihood of a negative outcome. If a negative outcome is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an estimated loss. If a negative outcome is reasonably possible and we can estimate the potential loss or range of loss, or if a negative outcome is probable and we can estimate the potential loss or range of loss beyond any amounts already accrued, we disclose this information. However, predicting outcomes or estimating losses is often challenging due to litigation uncertainties, especially in early stages or complex cases. In such instances, we disclose our inability to predict the outcome or estimate losses.

AB may face regulatory inquiries, administrative proceedings, and litigation, some alleging significant damages. While it is possible we could incur losses from these matters, we cannot currently estimate such losses or their range. Management, after consulting with legal counsel, believes that the outcome of any individual or combined matters will not materially affect our operations, financial condition, or liquidity. However, due to inherent uncertainties, future developments could potentially have a material adverse effect on our results, financial condition, or liquidity in future reporting periods.

Commitments

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into a non-exclusive partnership with Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (“RGA”) under which we committed to invest $100.0 million in a reinsurance sidecar vehicle sponsored by RGA and focused on the U.S. asset-intensive reinsurance market. AB will manage private alternative assets for RGA’s general account as part of a separate transaction. As of March 31, 2026, we have funded $0.1 million of this commitment.
During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into a non-exclusive partnership with Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (the "Asset Management Sponsor") and Fortitude International Ltd. (the "Insurance Sponsor/and or their respective affiliates"), and together (the "Sponsors") under which we committed to invest $100.0 million in a reinsurance sidecar vehicle Carlyle FCA Re, L.P. (the "FCA Re Sidecar'"). The FCA Re Sidecar is focused on reinsuring life and annuity liabilities in Asia. AB will manage private alternative assets for the Insurance Sponsor as part of a separate transaction. As of March 31, 2026, we have not funded any of this commitment.
