Treatment of Warrants in the Merger In February 2020, Athene issued warrants to current and former employees upon the closing of a strategic transaction with Apollo, in which Apollo and Athene exchanged shares such that Apollo increased its ownership in Athene to 35% and Athene took a 7% stake in Apollo The warrants were granted to current and former employees in partial consideration for Class M common shares that were held by the warrant holders prior to the February 2020 transaction The warrants are exercisable for Class A common shares of Athene The warrants were fully vested upon their issuance In March 2021, Athene and Apollo announced their pending business combination. Converting Athene warrants into equivalent warrants of Tango Holdings may be a taxable event that would accelerate significant capital gains for holders Instead, upon the closing of the mergers, warrant holders will receive Tango Holdings common stock in an amount representing the full fair value of their warrants in a non-taxable exchange Fair value will be calculated at the closing of the mergers using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and will include the ‘option value’ in excess of the intrinsic value the warrants would receive if they were exercised today The Black-Scholes calculation will utilize the same assumptions that Athene has used historically, including for the issuance of the warrants in February 2020 and in regular financial reporting Term: 10 years (for warrants issued in exchange for former M-4 shares) Risk-free rate: U.S. treasury yield curve corresponding to term Volatility: Based on Athene’s historical stock price performance, with adjustment for outsized volatility during COVID A third party will review the final calculations and assumptions
