• the termination by Athene Asset Management, L.P. (AAM) or Apollo Asset Management Europe, LLP (AAME) of its investment management or advisory agreements with us and limitations on our ability to terminate such arrangements;

• AAM’s or AAME’s dependence on key executives and inability to attract qualified personnel;

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Athene Holding Ltd. (AHL), a Bermuda exempted company, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, Athene, we, our, us, or the Company), is a leading retirement services company that issues, reinsures and acquires retirement savings products in all U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Germany.

We conduct business primarily through the following consolidated subsidiaries:

• Athene Life Re Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company to which AHL's other insurance subsidiaries and third party ceding companies directly and indirectly reinsure a portion of their liabilities (ALRe);

• Athene USA Corporation, an Iowa corporation and its subsidiaries (Athene USA); and

• Athene Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, a German partnership and its subsidiaries (ADKG).

In addition, we consolidate certain variable interest entities (VIEs), for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary, as discussed in Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities.

Basis of Presentation—We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair statement of the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates. Actual results may differ from estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Policy and Revisions—Subsequent to the original issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, we adopted a change in accounting principle regarding the balance sheet presentation of assets and liabilities associated with reinsurance agreements written on a modified coinsurance (modco) basis. The funds withheld assets and liabilities arising from modco contracts are presented gross of the corresponding policy benefit liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, whereas these assets and liabilities were previously presented net on a contract-by-contract basis. We also applied this change retrospectively to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016, for the corresponding balance sheet classification changes within operating activities. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, or equity resulting from this change.

We have also revised our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as a result of correcting immaterial misstatements. We assessed the materiality of these revisions and concluded these revisions are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole. However, we elected to revise the condensed consolidated financial statements to increase their accuracy, as well as provide consistency and comparability with balances and activities to be reported in future periods.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASU 2017-08)

The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. These amendments are required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and we have elected to early adopt effective January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation – Interest Held through Related Parties under Common Control (ASU 2016-17)

This update amends the consolidation guidance to change how indirect interests in VIEs are evaluated by a reporting entity when determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the reporting entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and, therefore, consolidates the VIE. A reporting entity has an indirect interest in a VIE if it has a direct interest in a related party that, in turn, has a direct interest in the VIE. Previously, if a single decision maker and its related parties were under common control, the single decision maker was required to consider indirect interests held through related parties to be the equivalent of direct interests in their entirety. The amendments change the evaluation of indirect interests to be considered on a proportionate basis. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09)

This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. We have elected to account for forfeitures when they occur. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASU 2016-07)

This update eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment upon it qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging – Contingent Put and Call Options (ASU 2016-06)

This update is intended to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to debt hosts. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging – Effects of Derivative Contract Novation (ASU 2016-05)

This update is intended to clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require a de-designation of that hedging relationship provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (ASU 2017-05)

The amendments in this update clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. We will be required to adopt this standard on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04)

The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the comparison of the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill to determine the goodwill impairment loss. With the adoption of this guidance, a goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. We will be required to adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)

The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of assisting entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition (ASU 2016-20, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2014-09)

ASU 2014-09 indicates an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14 provided for a one-year deferral of the effective date, which will require us to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2016-08 amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 clarifies the identification of performance obligations as well as licensing implementation guidance. ASU 2016-11 brings existing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance into conformity with revenue recognition accounting guidance of ASU 2014-09 discussed above. ASU 2016-12 provides clarification on assessing collectability, presentation of sales tax, non-cash consideration and transition. ASU 2016-20 addresses necessary technical corrections and improvements to clarify codification amended by ASU 2014-09 within Topic 606. The revenue recognition updates replace all general and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance, excluding insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments and guarantees, which have been scoped out of the update. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue on contracts accounted for under the financial instruments or insurance contracts standards, only a portion of our revenues are impacted by this guidance. Our evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying contracts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing and documenting our accounting for these contracts, identifying and determining the accounting for any related contract costs and assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18)

This update requires amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this standard retrospectively for each period presented effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update will require us to change the presentation on the consolidated statements of cash flows for restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents; however, we do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ATHENE HOLDING LTD.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Income Taxes – Intra-Entity Transfers (ASU 2016-16)

This update requires the immediate recognition of current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets, other than inventory. Currently, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. We will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15)

This update provides specific guidance to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The update also clarifies the application of the predominance principle when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13)

This update is designed to reduce complexity by limiting the number of credit impairment models used for different assets. The model will result in accelerated credit loss recognition on assets held at amortized cost, which includes our commercial and residential mortgage investments. The identification of credit-deteriorated securities will include all assets that have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit since origination. Additionally, any changes in the expected cash flows of credit-deteriorated securities will be recognized immediately in the income statement. Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities are not in scope of the new credit loss model, but will undergo targeted improvements to the current reporting model including the establishment of a valuation allowance for credit losses versus the current direct write down approach. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases (ASU 2016-02)

This update is intended to increase transparency and comparability for lease transactions. A lessee is required to recognize an asset and a liability for all lease arrangements longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. We will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Our implementation efforts are primarily focused on the review of existing lease contracts and assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (ASU 2016-01)

This update retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. We currently recognize changes in fair value related to available-for-sale (AFS) equity securities in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the consolidated balance sheets. We will be required to adopt this standard with a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings effective January 1, 2018. Refer to Note 2 – Investments for further information on the unrealized gains and losses of our AFS equity securities.

As of March 31, 2017, we held 1,727 AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position. Of this total, 522 were in an unrealized loss position longer than 12 months. As of March 31, 2017, we held eight related party AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position. Of this total, five were in an unrealized loss position longer than 12 months. The unrealized losses on AFS securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates since acquisition. We did not recognize the unrealized losses in income as we intend to hold these securities and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments—For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $1 million of net OTTI which related to credit loss impairments that we impaired to fair value and did not bifurcate a portion of the impairment in AOCI. Any credit loss impairments not bifurcated in AOCI are excluded from the rollforward below.

The following table represents a rollforward of the cumulative amounts recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of income for OTTI related to pre-tax credit loss impairments on AFS fixed maturity securities, for which a portion of the securities' total OTTI was recognized in AOCI:

Our residential mortgage loan portfolio includes first lien residential mortgage loans, collateralized by properties located in the U.S. As of March 31, 2017, California, Florida and New York represented 32.7%, 12.1% and 6.6%, respectively, of the portfolio. The remaining 48.6% represented all other states, with each individual state comprising less than 5% of the portfolio. As of December 31, 2016, California, Florida and New York represented 38.9%, 9.1% and 5.1%, respectively, of the portfolio, and the remaining 46.9% represented all other states, with each individual state comprising less than 5% of the portfolio.

Mortgage Loan Valuation Allowance—The assessment of mortgage loan impairments and valuation allowances is substantially the same for residential and commercial mortgage loans. The valuation allowance was $2 million as of March 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016. We did not record any material impairments or significant activity in the valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2017or2016.

Residential mortgage loans – The primary credit quality indicator of residential mortgage loans is loan performance. Nonperforming residential mortgage loans are 90 days or more past due and/or are in non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2017, $3 million of our residential mortgage loans were non-performing. As of December 31, 2016, all of our residential mortgage loans were performing.

Loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios are measures we use to assess the risk and quality of commercial mortgage loans other than those under development. Loans under development are not evaluated using these ratios as the properties underlying these loans are generally not yet income-producing and the value of the underlying property significantly fluctuates based on the progress of construction. Therefore, the risk and quality of loans under development are evaluated based on the aging and geographical distribution of such loans as shown above.

The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A loan-to-value ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The following represents the loan-to-value ratio of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, excluding those under development, net of valuation allowances:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Less than 50%	$	1,698	$	1,787
50% to 60%	1,333		1,337

Greater than 100%	34		41
Commercial mortgage loans	$	4,905	$	5,058

The debt service coverage ratio, based upon the most recent financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of a property's net income to its debt service payments. A debt service ratio of less than 1.0 indicates a property's operations do not generate enough income to cover debt payments. The following represents the debt service coverage ratio of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, excluding those under development, net of valuation allowances:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016

Real Estate—Depreciation expense on invested real estate was $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Accumulated depreciation was $14 million and $11 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Investment Funds—Our investment fund portfolio consists of funds that employ various strategies and include investments in mortgage and real estate, credit, private equity, natural resources and hedge funds. Investment funds typically meet the definition of variable interest entities and are discussed further in Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities.

3. Derivative Instruments

We use a variety of derivative instruments to manage risks, primarily equity, interest rate, credit, foreign currency and market volatility.There

have been no significant changes in our accounting policies related to derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2017. See Note 5 – Fair Value for information about the fair value hierarchy for derivatives.

Derivatives Designated as Hedges

Foreign currency swaps–We use foreign currency swaps to convert foreign currency denominated cash flows of an investment to U.S. dollars to reduce cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. Certain of these swaps are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, which will expire by June 2043. During thethree months ended March 31, 2017and2016, we had foreign currency swap losses of $5 million and $10 million, respectively, recorded in AOCI. There were no amounts reclassified to income and no amounts deemed ineffective for the three months ended March 31, 2017and2016. As of March 31, 2017, no amounts are expected to be reclassified to income within the next 12 months.

Interest rate swaps – We use interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from interest rate changes and to alter interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. Certain of these swaps entered into during the fourth quarter of 2016 are designated as fair value hedges. With an interest rate swap, we agree with another party to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts tied to an agreed-upon notional principal amount at specified intervals.

The following table represents the gains and losses on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedge relationships, recorded in interest sensitive contract benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of income:

(In millions)	Three months ended March 31, 2017
Loss recognized on derivative	$	(1	)
Gain recognized on hedged item	1
Ineffectiveness recognized on fair value hedges	$	—

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Equity options – We use equity indexed options to economically hedge fixed indexed annuity products that guarantee the return of principal to the policyholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specified market index, primarily the S&P 500. To hedge against adverse changes in equity indices, we enter into contracts to buy the equity indexed options within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts are net settled in cash based on differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price.

27

ATHENE HOLDING LTD.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Futures –Futures contracts are purchased to hedge the growth in interest credited to the customer as a direct result of increases in the related indices. We enter into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission clearing brokers who are members of a trading exchange. Under exchange-traded futures contracts, we agree to purchase a specified number of contracts with other parties and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily fair values of those contracts.

Total return swaps – We purchase total rate of return swaps to gain exposure and benefit from a reference asset without ownership. Total rate of return swaps are contracts in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of the underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains.

Credit default swaps – Credit default swaps provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer or allow us to gain credit exposure to an issuer or traded index. We use credit default swaps coupled with a bond to synthetically create the characteristics of a reference bond. These transactions have a lower cost and are generally more liquid relative to the cash market. We receive a periodic premium for these transactions as compensation for accepting credit risk.

Hedging credit risk involves buying protection for existing credit risk. The exposure resulting from the agreements, which is usually the notional amount, is equal to the maximum proceeds that must be paid by a counterparty for a defaulted security. If a credit event occurs on a reference entity, then a counterparty who sold protection is required to pay the buyer the trade notional amount less any recovery value of the security.

Foreign currency forwards – We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain exposures to foreign currency risk. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment is made at a specified future date.

Embedded derivatives – We have embedded derivatives which are required to be separated from their host contracts and reported as derivatives. Host contracts include reinsurance agreements structured on a modco or funds withheld basis and indexed annuity products.

The following is a summary of the gains (losses) related to derivatives not designated as hedges:

	Three months ended March 31,

Total gains (losses) for derivatives not designated as hedges	$	223		$	(111	)
1Included in interest sensitive contract benefits.

Credit Risk—We may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of counterparty nonperformance on derivative financial instruments. Generally, the current credit exposure of our derivative contracts is the fair value at the reporting date less any collateral received from the counterparty.

We manage credit risk related to over-the-counter derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties. Where possible, we maintain collateral arrangements and use master netting agreements that provide for a single net payment from one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination.We have also established counterparty exposure limits, where possible, in order to evaluate if there is sufficient collateral to support the net exposure.

Collateral arrangements typically require the posting of collateral in connection with its derivative instruments. Collateral agreements often contain posting thresholds, some of which may vary depending on the posting party's financial strength ratings. Additionally, a decrease in our financial strength rating to a specified level can result in settlement of the derivative position. As ofMarch 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had$11 millionand$25 million, respectively, of collateral pledged to counterparties.

3 For securities collateral received, we do not have the right to sell or re-pledge the collateral. As such, we do not record the securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Variable Interest Entities

Our investment funds typically meet the definition of a VIE, and in certain cases these investment funds are consolidated in our financial statements because we meet the criteria of the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs—We consolidate AAA Investments (Co-Invest VI), L.P. (CoInvest VI), AAA Investments (Co-Invest VII), L.P. (CoInvest VII), AAA Investments (Other), L.P. (CoInvest Other), London Prime Apartments Guernsey Holdings Limited (London Prime), NCL Athene, LLC (NCL LLC) and Apollo Asia Sprint Co-Investment Fund, L.P. (Sprint), which are investment funds. We are the only limited partner or Class A member in these investment funds and receive all of the economic benefits and losses, other than management fees and carried interest, as applicable, paid to the general partner in each entity, or a related entity, which are related parties. We do not have any voting rights as limited partner and, as the limited partner or Class A member, do not solely satisfy the power criteria to direct the activities that significantly impact the economics of the VIE. However, the criteria for the primary beneficiary are satisfied by our related party group and because substantially all of the activities are conducted on our behalf, we consolidate the investment funds.

No arrangement exists requiring us to provide additional funding in excess of our committed capital investment, liquidity, or the funding of losses or an increase to our loss exposure in excess of our investment in the VIEs. We elected the fair value option for certain fixed maturity and equity securities and investment funds, which are reported in the consolidated variable interest entity sections on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

CoInvest VI, CoInvest VII and CoInvest Other were formed to make investments, including co-investments alongside private equity funds sponsored by Apollo. We received our interests in CoInvest VI, CoInvest VII and CoInvest Other as part of a contribution agreement in 2012 with AAA Guarantor – Athene, L.P. and its subsidiary, Apollo Life Re Ltd., in order to provide a capital base to support future acquisitions. London Prime was formed for the purpose of investing in Prime London Ventures Limited, a Guernsey limited company, which purchases rental residential assets across prime central London.

CoInvest VII holds a significant investment in MidCap FinCo Limited (MidCap), which is included in investment funds of consolidated VIEs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have purchased pools of loans sourced by MidCap and contemporaneously sold subordinated participation interests in the loans to a subsidiary of MidCap. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $14 million due to MidCap under the subordinated participation agreement which is reflected as a secured borrowing in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the third quarter of 2016, CoInvest VI contributed its largest investment, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) shares, to a newly formed entity, NCL LLC, in exchange for 100% of the membership interests in this entity. Subsequent to this contribution, CoInvest VI distributed its Class A membership interests in NCL LLC to us and the Class B membership interests in NCL LLC to the general partner of CoInvest VI. NCL LLC is subject to the same management fees, selling restrictions with respect to shares of NCLH, and carried interest calculation as CoInvest VI. NCL LLC classifies its NCLH shares as AFS equity securities. We are the primary beneficiary and consolidate NCL LLC, as substantially all of its activities are conducted on our behalf.

During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired a 100% limited partnership interest in Sprint, an entity formed to make a co-investment alongside private equity funds sponsored by Apollo. The underlying investment is a structured credit facility on a nearly completed skyscraper in Southeast Asia. We are the primary beneficiary and consolidate Sprint, as substantially all of its activities are conducted on our behalf.

We previously consolidated 2012 CMBS-I Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and 2012 CMBS-II Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, CMBS Funds). The CMBS Funds were originally formed with the objective of generating high risk-adjusted investment returns by investing primarily in a portfolio of eligible CMBS and using leverage through repurchase agreements treated as collateralized financing. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the CMBS Funds were fully dissolved.

Trading securities – related party – Trading securities represents investments in fixed maturity and equity securities with changes in fair value recognized in investment related gains (losses) within revenues of consolidated variable interest entities on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, investment related gains (losses) included losses of $4 million and $21 million, respectively, resulting from the change in unrealized gains and losses underlying trading securities we still held as of the respective period end date. Trading securities held by CoInvest VI, CoInvest VII and CoInvest Other are considered related party investments because Apollo affiliates exercise significant influence over the operations of these investees.

Investment funds – including related party – Investment funds include non-fixed income, alternative investments in the form of limited partnerships or similar legal structures that meet the definition of VIEs; however, our consolidated VIEs are not considered the primary beneficiary of these investment funds. Changes in fair value of these investment funds are included in investment related gains (losses) within revenues of consolidated variable interest entities on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Investment funds held by CoInvest VII, CoInvest Other and Sprint are considered related party investments as they are sponsored or managed by Apollo affiliates.

There were no transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Significant Unobservable Inputs– For certain Level 3 trading securities and investment funds, the valuations have significant unobservable inputs for comparable multiples and weighed average cost of capital rates applied in the valuation models. These inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. Specifically, the comparable multiples are multiplied by the underlying investment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to establish the total enterprise value of the underlying investments. We use a comparable multiple consistent with the implied trading multiple of public industry peers.

For other Level 3 trading securities, valuations are performed using a discounted cash flow model. For a discounted cash flow model, the significant input is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. An increase in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value; a decrease in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value. The discount rate is determined by considering the weighted average cost of capital calculation of companies in similar industries with comparable debt to equity ratios.

Fair Value Option – The following represents the gains (losses) recorded for instruments within the consolidated VIEs for which we have elected the fair value option:

	Three months ended March 31,

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Held at Fair Value – Assets of consolidated variable interest entities includes $32 million and $11 million of investment funds accounted for under the equity method and, therefore, not carried at fair value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively; however, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies – Included in assets of CoInvest VI are equity investments in publicly traded shares of Caesars Entertainment Corporation (CEC) and Caesars Acquisition Company (CAC). We received the CEC and CAC shares as part of a contribution agreement in 2012 with AAA Guarantor - Athene, L.P. and its subsidiary, Apollo Life Re Ltd., in order to provide a capital base to support future acquisitions. There are pending claims against CEC, CAC and/or others, related to certain guaranties issued for debt of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (CEOC) and/or certain transactions involving CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, Debtors), CEC, CAC and others. CEC and the Debtors announced on or about September 26, 2016 that CEC and CEOC had received confirmations from representatives of CEOC's major creditor groups of those groups’ support for a term sheet that describes the key economic terms of a proposed consensual chapter 11 plan for the Debtors. The plan, containing such terms and further including such other terms respecting, among other things, the merger of CAC into CEC, that CoInvest VI and others will not retain their pre-merger CEC shares, that CoInvest VI and others will retain the value of their CAC shares when receiving shares in the merged CEC, and that CoInvest VI and others will receive releases to the fullest extent permitted by law, was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court by order dated January 17, 2017. Conditions precedent to the effective date of the plan include regulatory approvals from the various gaming regulators, CEC and CAC shareholders' approval of the proposed merger, and securing required financings. As a result, CoInvest VI has recorded a liability of $30 million for the entire carrying value of the CEC shares. As of March 31, 2017, CoInvest VI's investment in CAC is carried at its fair value of $52 million.

Non-Consolidated Securities and Investment Funds—We invest in certain other entities meeting the definition of a VIE or voting interest entity (VOE). We do not consolidate such VIEs for which we do not meet the criteria of primary beneficiary as described below. We also do not consolidate such VOEs for which we do not have control.

Fixed Maturity Securities – We invest in securitization entities as a debt holder or an investor in the residual interest of the securitization vehicle, which are included in fixed maturity securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These entities are deemed VIEs due to insufficient equity within the structure and lack of control by the equity investors over the activities that significantly impact the economics of the entity. In general, we are a debt investor within these entities and, as such, hold a variable interest; however, due to the debt holders' lack of ability to control the decisions within the trust that significantly impact the entity, and the fact the debt holders are protected from losses due to the subordination by the equity tranche, the debt holders are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Securitization vehicles in which we hold the residual tranche are not consolidated because we do not unilaterally have substantive rights to remove the general partner, or when assessing related party interests, we are not under common control, as defined by GAAP, with the related party, nor are substantially all of the activities conducted on our behalf; therefore, we are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Debt investments and investments in the residual tranche of securitization entities are considered debt instruments and are held at fair value on the balance sheet and classified as AFS or trading.

Investment funds – Investment funds include non-fixed income, alternative investments in the form of limited partnerships or similar legal structures that meet the definition of VIEs or VOEs.

A portion of these investment funds are sponsored and managed by unrelated parties in which we, as limited partner, do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the fund, nor do we unilaterally have substantive rights to remove the general partner or dissolve the entity without cause. As a result, we do not meet the power criterion to be considered the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate these VIEs in our financial statements. Investment funds managed by unrelated parties and classified as VOEs are not consolidated as we do not own a majority voting interest and have no other substantive rights that would provide control.

We also have equity interests in investment funds where the general partner or investment manager is a related party. We have determined we are not under common control, as defined by GAAP, with the related party, nor are we deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, investments in these VIEs are not consolidated.

We account for non-consolidated investment funds where we are able to exercise significant influence over the entity under the equity method or by electing the fair value option. For non-consolidated investment funds where we are not able to exercise significant influence, we elect the fair value option. Our investments in investment funds are generally passive in nature as we do not take an active role in the investment fund's management.

Our risk of loss associated with our non-consolidated VIEs and VOEs is limited and depends on the investment as follows: (1) investment funds accounted for under the equity method are limited to our initial investment plus unfunded commitments; (2) investment funds under the fair value option are limited to the fair value plus unfunded commitments; (3) AFS securities and other investments are limited to cost or amortized cost; and (4) trading securities are limited to carrying value.

5. Fair Value

Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. We determine fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for inactive markets or valuation techniques that require observable direct or indirect inputs for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,

• Observable inputs other than quoted market prices, and

• Observable inputs derived principally from market data through correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques with unobservable inputs significant to the overall fair value estimate. These valuations use critical assumptions not readily available to market participants. Level 3 valuations are based on market standard valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flows, matrix pricing or other similar techniques.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the instrument's fair value measurement.

We use a number of valuation sources to determine fair values. Valuation sources can include quoted market prices; third-party commercial pricing services; third-party brokers; industry-standard, vendor modeling software that uses market observable inputs; and other internal modeling techniques based on projected cash flows. We periodically review the assumptions and inputs of third-party commercial pricing services through internal valuation price variance reviews, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring trading volumes.

Fair Value Valuation Methods—We used the following valuation methods and assumptions to estimate fair value:

AFS and trading securities

Fixed maturity –We obtain the fair value for most marketable bonds without an active market from several commercial pricing services. These are classified as Level 2 assets. The pricing services incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, trading activity, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data. This category typically includes U.S. and non-U.S. corporate bonds, U.S. agency and government guaranteed securities, ABS, CMBS and RMBS.

We value privately placed fixed maturity securities based on the credit quality and duration of comparable marketable securities, which may be securities of another issuer with similar characteristics. In some instances, we use a matrix-based pricing model. These models consider the current level of risk-free interest rates, corporate spreads, credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. We also consider additional factors such as net worth of the borrower, value of collateral, capital structure of the borrower, presence of guarantees and our evaluation of the borrower's ability to compete in its relevant market. Privately placed fixed maturity securities are classified as Level 2 or 3.

Equity securities–Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices and classified as Level 1. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, we value based on other sources, such as commercial pricing services or brokers and are classified as Level 2 or 3.

Mortgage loans – Mortgage loans for which we have elected the fair value option or those held for sale are carried at fair value. We estimate fair value on a monthly basis using discounted cash flow analysis and rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The discounted cash flow model uses unobservable inputs, including estimates of discount rates and loan prepayments. Mortgage loans are classified as Level 3.

Funds withheld (embedded derivative) – We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative based on the change in the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld payable under the combined coinsurance, modco and coinsurance funds withheld reinsurance agreements. As a result, the fair value of the embedded derivative is classified as Level 2 or 3 based on the valuation methods used for the assets held in trust supporting the reinsurance agreements.

Derivatives –Derivative contracts can be exchange traded or over-the-counter. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy depending on trading activity. Over-the-counter derivatives are valued using valuation models or an income approach using third-party broker valuations. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlation of the inputs. We consider and incorporate counterparty credit risk in the valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. We also evaluate and include our own nonperformance risk in valuing derivatives. The majority of our derivatives trade in liquid markets; therefore, we can verify model inputs and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. These are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and cash equivalents– The carrying amount for cash equals fair value. We estimate the fair value for cash equivalents based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.

Interest sensitive contract liabilities (embedded derivative)– Embedded derivatives related to interest sensitive contract liabilities with fixed indexed annuity products are classified as Level 3. The valuations include significant unobservable inputs associated with economic assumptions and actuarial assumptions for policyholder behavior.

Unit-linked contracts– Unit-linked contracts are valued based on the fair value of the investments supporting the contract. The underlying investments are trading securities comprised primarily of mutual funds. The valuations of these are based on quoted market prices for similar assets and are classified in Level 2, resulting in a corresponding classification for the unit-linked contracts.

AmerUs Closed Block– We elected the fair value option for the future policy benefits liability in the AmerUs Closed Block. Our valuation technique is to set the fair value of policyholder liabilities equal to the fair value of assets. There is an additional component which captures the fair value of the open block's cost to hold capital in excess of existing liabilities on the closed block. This component uses a present value of future cash flows, which includes investment earnings and policyholder liability movements. Unobservable inputs include estimates for these items. The target surplus as a percentage of statutory reserves is 3.85% based on the statutory risk-based capital ratio applicable to this block of business. The AmerUs Closed Block policyholder liabilities and any corresponding reinsurance recoverable are classified as Level 3.

ILICO Closed Block – We elected the fair value option for the ILICO Closed Block. Our valuation technique is to set the fair value of policyholder liabilities equal to the fair value of assets. There is an additional component which captures the fair value of the open block's obligations to the closed block business. This component uses the present value of future cash flows. The cash flows include commissions, administrative expenses, reinsurance premiums and benefits, and an explicit cost of capital. Unobservable inputs include estimates for these items. The explicit cost of capital assumption is 9% of required capital, post tax. A margin of 8.94% is included in the discount rates to reflect the business risk. An additional 0.26% is included to reflect non-performance risk. The ILICO Closed Block policyholder liabilities and corresponding reinsurance recoverable are classified as Level 3.

Universal life liabilities and other life benefits– We elected the fair value option for certain blocks of universal and other life business ceded to Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited (together with its subsidiaries, Global Atlantic). We use a present value of liability cash flows. Unobservable inputs include estimates of mortality, persistency, expenses, premium payments and a risk margin used in the discount rates that reflects the riskiness of the business. The risk margin was 0.09%. These universal life policyholder liabilities and corresponding reinsurance recoverable are classified as Level 3.

There were no fair value option mortgage loans 90 days or more past due as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Transfers Between Levels—Transfers into Level 3 generally represent securities that were valued using pricing sources which, due to changing market conditions, were less observable than in prior periods as indicated by the increased volatility, which was reflected in vendor prices obtained for individual securities. Additionally, changes in pricing sources also led to securities transferring into Level 3.

Transfers out of Level 3 generally represent securities that were valued using pricing sources which, due to changing market conditions, were more observable than in prior periods as indicated by decreased volatility, which was reflected in vendor prices obtained for individual securities. Additionally, changes in pricing sources also led to securities transferring into Level 2.

Transfers into or out of any level are assumed to occur at the end of the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Significant Unobservable Inputs—Significant unobservable inputs occur when we could not obtain or corroborate the quantitative detail of the inputs. This applies to AFS securities, trading securities, mortgage loans and credit default swaps. Additional significant unobservable inputs are described below.

Fixed maturity securities – For certain fixed maturity securities, internal models are used to calculate the fair value. We use a discounted cash flow approach. The discount rate is the significant unobservable input due to the determined credit spread being internally developed, illiquid, or as a result of other adjustments made to the base rate. The base rate represents a market comparable rate for securities with similar characteristics. As of March 31, 2017, discounts ranged from 3% to 7%. This excludes assets for which significant unobservable inputs are not developed internally, primarily consisting of broker quotes.

Interest sensitive contract liabilities – embedded derivative – Significant unobservable inputs we use in the fixed indexed annuities embedded derivative of the interest sensitive contract liabilities valuation include:

1. Non-performance risk – For contracts we issue, we use the credit spread from the U.S. treasury curve based on our public credit rating as of the valuation date. This represents our credit risk for use in the estimate of the fair value of embedded derivatives. For contracts reinsured through funds withheld reinsurance, the cedant company holds collateral against its exposure; therefore, immaterial non-performance risk is ascribed to these contracts.

2. Option budget – We assume future hedge costs in the derivative's fair value estimate. The level of option budgets determines the future costs of the options and impacts future policyholder account value growth.

3. Policyholder behavior – We regularly review the lapse and withdrawal assumptions (surrender rate). These are based on our initial pricing assumptions updated for actual experience. Actual experience may be limited for recently issued products.

The following summarizes the unobservable inputs for the embedded derivatives of fixed indexed annuities:

	March 31, 2017
(In millions, except for percentages)	Fair value		Valuation technique	Unobservable inputs	Input/range of inputs				Impact of an increase in the input on fair value
Interest sensitive contract liabilities – fixed indexed annuities embedded derivatives	$	5,793	Option budget method	Non-performance risk	0.5	%	–	1.5%	Decrease
				Option budget	0.8	%	–	3.8%	Increase
				Surrender rate	0.0	%	–	15.8%	Decrease

	December 31, 2016
(In millions, except for percentages)	Fair value		Valuation technique	Unobservable inputs	Input/range of inputs				Impact of an increase in the input on fair value
Interest sensitive contract liabilities – fixed indexed annuities embedded derivatives	$	5,283	Option budget method	Non-performance risk	0.7	%	–	1.5%	Decrease
				Option budget	0.8	%	–	3.8%	Increase
				Surrender rate	0.0	%	–	16.3%	Decrease

Total liabilities not carried at fair value		$	28,534	$	27,840	$	28,002	$	26,974
1 Investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient in determining fair value have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

We estimate the fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value using the same methods and assumptions as those we carry at fair value. The financial instruments presented above are reported at carrying value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, in the case of policy loans, funds withheld at interest and liability, and other investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment in related parties – Other investments – The fair value of related party other investments is determined using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates for similar investments.

Interest sensitive contract liabilities– The carrying and fair value of interest sensitive contract liabilities above includes fixed indexed and traditional fixed annuities without mortality or morbidity risks, funding agreements and payout annuities without life contingencies. The embedded derivatives within fixed indexed annuities without mortality or morbidity risks are excluded, as they are carried at fair value. The valuation of these investment contracts is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free interest rates, adding a spread to reflect our nonperformance risk and subtracting a risk margin to reflect uncertainty inherent in the projected cash flows.

6. Reinsurance

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we novated certain open blocks of business ceded to Global Atlantic, in accordance with the terms of the coinsurance and assumption agreement. As a result of the novation, interest sensitive contract liabilities decreased $106 million, future policy benefits decreased $4 million, policy loans decreased $4 million, and reinsurance recoverable decreased $106 million.

8. Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, a total of 24,030,251 Class B shares were converted to Class A shares in connection with the distribution of Class B shares by AP Alternative Assets, L.P. to its unitholders, or in order to participate in the follow-on offering of our Class A shares, which was priced on March 28, 2017. We did not sell any shares in the offering.

Stock-based Compensation—Stock-based compensation was an expense of $16 million and a benefit of $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The stock-based compensation benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was a result of a reduction in the valuation of our Class A shares from $34.23 per share as of December 31, 2015, to $30.44 per share as of March 31, 2016, due to industry market movements. This resulted in a lower Class M share value at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, and thus resulted in a benefit, primarily with respect to our performance-based M-1, M-2 and M-3 liability awards, which were remeasured to fair value each reporting period. As the performance-based M-1, M-2 and M-3 shares were fully vested in the third quarter of 2016, they are no longer subject to remeasurement.

As of March 31, 2017, the stock-based compensation plans had unrecognized compensation expense of $57 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

1Calculated using whole figures.
2Net income available to AHL shareholders allocated to Class M-2 common shares rounded to $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. However, earnings per share is calculated using whole figures.

	Three months ended March 31, 2016
(In millions, except share and per share data)	Class A		Class B
Net income available to AHL shareholders	$	23	$	64
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	50,028,933		135,963,975
Dilutive effect of stock compensation plans	52,832		—

Earnings per share1
Basic	$	0.47	$	0.47
Diluted	$	0.47	$	0.47
1Calculated using whole figures.

We use the two-class method for allocating net income available to AHL shareholders to each class of our common stock. Our Class M shares do not become eligible to participate in dividends until a return of investment (ROI) condition has been met for each class. Once eligible, each class of our common stock has equal dividend rights. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2016, the ROI condition had not been met for any of our Class M shares and as a result, no earnings were attributable to those classes. In conjunction with our IPO in the fourth quarter of 2016,the ROI condition for Class M-1 was met, and the ROI condition for Class M-2 was subsequently met on March 28, 2017. For purposes of calculating basic weighted average shares outstanding and the allocation of basic income, shares are deemed to be participating in earnings for only the portion of the period after the condition is met. However, as shares are considered dilutive as of the beginning of the period, the resulting diluted EPS is comparatively lower if the ROI condition is met after the beginning of the period than it would have been had the ROI condition been met at the beginning of the period.

Class M-3 and Class M-4 shares remained ineligible for dividends as of March 31, 2017; however, on April 20, 2017, the ROI condition was met for Class M-3 and Class M-4 shares. The basic EPS calculations above reflect only those classes of stock eligible to participate in earnings during each respective period.

Dilutive shares are calculated using the treasury stock method. For Class A common shares, this method takes into account shares that can be settled into Class A common shares, net of a conversion price.

The diluted EPS calculation for Class A shares excluded 94,429,888 and 152,766,540 shares, RSUs and options outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The excluded shares as of March 31, 2017 were comprised of 91,666,275 shares considered antidilutive and 2,763,613 shares for which a performance condition had not been met. The excluded shares as of March 31, 2016 were comprised of 135,963,975 shares considered antidilutive and 16,802,565 shares for which issuance restrictions had not been satisfied as of the end of the period.

11. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 6% and 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Our effective tax rates may vary year-to-year depending upon the relationship of income and loss subject to tax compared to consolidated income and loss before income taxes.

Under current Bermuda law, we are not required to pay any taxes in Bermuda on either income or capital gains. We have received an undertaking from the Minister of Finance in Bermuda that, in the event of any such taxes being imposed, we will be exempted from taxation until the year 2035.

Athene Asset Management

Investment related expenses – Substantially all of our investments, with the exception of the investments of ADKG, are managed by Athene Asset Management, L.P. (AAM), a subsidiary of AGM. AAM provides direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisition asset diligence and certain operational support services for our investment portfolio, including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. As of March 31, 2017, AAM directly managed $54,539 million of our investment portfolio assets, of which 86% are rated one or two by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). For certain assets which require specialized sourcing and underwriting capabilities, AAM has chosen to mandate sub-advisors rather than building out in-house capabilities. For the services related to these investments, AAM earns a fee of 0.40% per year, subject to certain discounts, on all assets managed in accounts owned by or related to us, including sub-advised assets, but excluding assets of ADKG and certain other limited exceptions. Additionally, AAM recharges the sub-advisory fees it incurs with respect to our sub-advised assets to us.

AAM has entered into a Master Sub-Advisory Agreement (MSAA) with certain Apollo affiliates to sub-advise AAM with respect to a portion of our assets, with the fees recharged to us, in addition to the gross fee of 0.40% per year paid to AAM as described above. The MSAA covers services rendered by Apollo-affiliated sub-advisors relating to the following investments:

In the first quarter 2017, we announced an agreement to amend certain fee arrangements we have in place with AAM and Apollo relating to investment management fees and sub-advisory fees that are paid by us to AAM and Apollo. More specifically, we and Apollo have agreed to enter into a revised fee agreement, which provides for, among other things, a fee of 0.30% per year (reduced from 0.40% per year) on all assets that Apollo manages in accounts owned by us in the U.S. and Bermuda or in accounts supporting reinsurance ceded to our U.S. and Bermuda subsidiaries by third-party insurers (North American Accounts) in excess of $65,846 million (the level of assets in the North American Accounts as of December 31, 2016). The fee to be paid by us to Apollo on the first $65,846 million of assets in the North American Accounts remains 0.40% per year, subject to certain discounts and exceptions.

In addition, we and Apollo have also agreed to amend the sub-advisory agreements that are in place with Apollo, whereby, with limited exceptions, Apollo will earn 0.40% per year on all assets in the North American Accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo up to $10,000 million, 0.35% per year on all assets in such accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo in excess of $10,000 million up to $12,441 million (the level of fee-paying sub-advised assets in the North American Accounts at December 31, 2016), 0.40% per year on all assets in such accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo in excess of $12,441 million up to $16,000 million and 0.35% per year on all assets in such accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo in excess of $16,000 million.

The amendments to the investment management fees and sub-advisory fees are subject to the approval by our shareholders at our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders of certain amendments to our bye-laws relating to the term and termination of the investment management agreements between us and Apollo. However, upon such shareholder approval, the amendments to the investment management fees and sub-advisory fees will be effective retroactive to January 1, 2017.

Apollo Asset Management Europe

ADKG has an investment advisory agreement with Apollo Asset Management Europe (together with certain of its affiliates, AAME), also a subsidiary of AGM. AAME provides advisory services for all of ADKG's investment portfolio other than operating cash, mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial properties that are not identified and advised by AAME, and assets related to unit-linked policies. Also excluded are assets held in German special investment funds managed or advised by Apollo, AAM and any of the respective affiliates of Apollo, AAM or AAME, to the extent the entity receives a management or advisory fee in connection with the fund. In providing these services, AAME has access to Apollo's European expertise and capabilities. The ADKG investments sub-advised by AAME consist primarily of corporate and sovereign bonds, as compared to the more diverse range of assets managed by AAM or those held in the German special investment funds. As compensation for the investment advisory services rendered, AAME receives a fee of 0.10% per year on the assets it sub-advises. Affiliates of AAME receive an advisory fee of 0.35% per year on certain German special investment funds and our investment in a sub-fund of Apollo Capital Efficient Fund I (ACE fund), as well as a pro rata share of operating expenses up to 0.30% on the ACE fund. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the German special investment funds totaled $449 million and $258 million, respectively and the ACE fund totaled $87 million and $84 million, respectively. The fees incurred for management of these funds are included in sub-advisory fees in the table below.

The following represents the assets sub-advised by AAME:

	Three months ended March 31,
(In millions)	2017		2016
Asset management fees	$	62	$	58
Sub-advisory fees	16		23

The management and sub-advisory fees are included within net investment income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The management fees payable as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $31 million and $28 million, respectively. The sub-advisory fees payable as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $16 million and $11 million, respectively. Both the management and sub-advisory fees payables are included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The investment management or advisory agreements with AAM or AAME have no stated term and any party can terminate upon notice. However, our bye-laws provide that we will not exercise our termination rights under the agreements, except that any agreement may only be terminated on October 31, 2018, or any third anniversary thereafter. Any termination on that date without cause requires (1) approval of our board of directors and the holders of our common shares that hold a majority of total voting power (giving effect to the voting allocation provisions set forth in our bye-laws) and (2) six months' prior written notice to AAM or AAME of termination. We may terminate the investment management or advisory agreements for cause, with the approval of our board of directors.

We have a management investment committee, which includes members of our senior management and reports to the risk committee of our board of directors. The committee focuses on strategic decisions involving our investment portfolio, such as approving investment limits, new asset classes and our allocation strategy, reviewing large asset transactions, as well as monitoring our credit risk, and the management of our assets and liabilities.

A significant voting interest in the Company is held by shareholders who are members of the Apollo Group, as defined in our bye-laws. Also, James Belardi, our Chief Executive Officer, is also an employee of, and receives substantial remuneration from acting as Chief Executive Officer of, AAM, and owns a 5% profits interest in AAM. Additionally, five of the twelve members of our board of directors are employees of or consultants to Apollo (including Mr. Belardi). In order to protect against potential conflicts of interest resulting from transactions into which we have entered and will continue to enter into with the Apollo Group, our bye-laws created a conflicts committee consisting of three of our directors who are not officers or employees of any member of the Apollo Group. The conflicts committee reviews and a majority of the committee members must approve material transactions between us and the Apollo Group, subject to certain exceptions.

Other related party transactions—We have a loan purchase agreement with AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC (AmeriHome), an investee of A-A Mortgage, an equity method investee. The agreement allows us to purchase residential mortgage loans which they have purchased from correspondent sellers and pooled for sale in the secondary market. AmeriHome retains the servicing rights to the sold loans. We purchased $1 million and $15 million of residential mortgage loans under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Commitments—We had commitments to make investments, primarily capital contributions to investment funds, of$1,140 million and$962 millionas ofMarch 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016, respectively. We expect most of our current commitments will be invested over the next five years; however, these commitments could become due any time upon counterparty request.

Funding Agreements—We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Indianapolis and Des Moines. Through membership, we have issued funding agreements with a carrying value of$459 millionand$691 millionas ofMarch 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016, respectively, to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances.The decrease in carrying value during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was a result of maturities and payments on the outstanding funding agreements. We are required to provide collateral in excess of the funding agreements, considering any discounts to the securities posted and prepayment penalties.

We have a funding agreement backed notes (FABN) program, which allows Athene Global Funding, a special purpose, non-affiliated statutory-trust to offer up to $5 billion of its senior secured medium-term notes. Athene Global Funding uses the net proceeds from each sale to purchase one or more funding agreements from us. Funding agreements issued under this program have a carrying value of $896 million and $246 million as of March 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in carrying value during the first quarter of 2017 was a result of additional issuances of$650 millionunder this program.

Pledged Assets and Funds in Trust (Restricted Assets)—The total restricted assets included on thecondensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
AFS securities
Fixed maturity	$	1,505	$	1,382
Equity	31		40
Investment funds	24		25
Mortgage loans	911		1,003
Short-term investments	13		—
Restricted cash	73		57
Total restricted assets	$	2,557	$	2,507

The restricted assets are primarily a result of the FHLB funding agreements described above. Additionally, we have established reinsurance trusts of assets in accordance with coinsurance agreements, which are typically based on corresponding statutory reserves.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments—On June 12, 2015, Don Hudson, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of California against us. The complaint, which is similar to complaints recently filed against other large insurance companies, primarily alleges that captive reinsurance and other transactions had the effect of misrepresenting the financial condition of Athene Annuity and Life Company (AAIA). The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class of purchasers of annuity products issued by AAIA between 2007 and the present and asserts claims against AHL, ALRe, AUSA and AAIA in addition to Apollo and AAM. There are also various allegations related to the purchase of Aviva USA and concerning entry into a modco transaction with ALRe in October 2013. The suit asserts claims of violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and seeks compensatory damages, trebled, in an amount to be determined, costs and attorneys' fees. On March 25, 2016, the matter was transferred to the United States District Court, Southern District of Iowa (S.D. IA Court). On May 25, 2016, the court granted plaintiff’s motion to file an amended complaint dropping plaintiff Silva and defendant Aviva plc. We moved to dismiss that complaint on June 30, 2016, and the motion was fully briefed as of September 8, 2016. On November 14, 2016, the court stayed consideration of the motion to dismiss pending a ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in a similar case which will likely affect the disposition of our motion. See Ludwick v. Harbinger Grp., Inc., 161 F. Supp. 3d 769 (W.D. Mo. 2016), appeal docketed, No. 16-1561 (8^th Cir.). On April 13, 2017, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the claims in Ludwick, and Athene has advised the S.D. IA Court. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims set forth in the amended complaint and intend to vigorously defend the litigation and, as mentioned, have sought dismissal of the amended complaint. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in this matter, reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

On July 27, 2015, John Griffiths, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, against us. An amended complaint was filed on December 18, 2015. The complaint asserts claims against AHL, AAIA and Athene London Assignment Corporation (Athene London), in addition to an Aviva defendant. AHL is a named defendant due to its purchase of Aviva USA, and AAIA and Athene London are named as successors to Aviva Life Insurance Company and Aviva London Assignment Corporation, respectively. The complaint alleges a putative class action on behalf of all persons who are the beneficial owners of assets which were used to purchase structured settlement annuities that Aviva Life Insurance Company, Aviva London Assignment Corporation, and Aviva International Insurance Limited (Aviva Entities) or their predecessors, as applicable, delivered to purchasers on or after April 1, 2003. The complaint alleges that the Aviva Entities sold structured settlement annuities to the public on the basis that such products were backed by a capital maintenance agreement by Aviva International Insurance Limited or its predecessor, which was alleged as a source of great financial strength. The complaint further alleges that the Aviva Entities used this capital maintenance agreement to enhance the sales volume and raise the price of the annuities. The complaint claims that, as a result of Aviva USA’s sale to AHL, the capital maintenance agreement terminated. According to the complaint, no notice was provided to the owners of the structured settlement annuities and the termination of the capital maintenance agreement constituted a breach of contract, and the plaintiff further asserts other causes of action. The defendants have answered and are engaged in the discovery process. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims set forth in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in this matter, reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its examinations of the 2006 through 2010 Aviva USA tax years. Aviva USA agreed to all adjustments that were proposed with respect to those tax years with two exceptions: (1) AAIA’s treatment of call options used to hedge fixed indexed annuity (FIA) liabilities for the tax years 2008–2010 and (2) the disallowance of offsetting tax deductions taken by AAIA and taxable income reported by the non-life subgroup with respect to unpaid independent marketing organization commissions. The first adjustment to which Aviva USA did not agree would disallow deductions of $191 million, $154 million and $76 million for 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The second adjustment to which Aviva USA did not agree would increase non-life net operating losses and decrease AAIA net operating losses by $16 million in each of 2009 and 2010. Taxes, penalties and interest with respect to these two issues for the years under audit are subject to indemnification by Aviva plc under the Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) between Aviva plc and AHL, dated December 21, 2012 assuming the SPA requirements are satisfied. Athene USA has been unable to negotiate a favorable settlement of this issue with the IRS, and intends to contest the adjustment in federal court. If the IRS position is upheld in federal court, Athene USA expects that it would owe tax of $120 million, plus interest, for tax years ending on or before October 2, 2013, which are subject to indemnification by Aviva plc as described above.

The IRS also recently completed its examination of the 2011 through 2012 Aviva USA tax years, proposing adjustments that would increase taxable income by approximately $16 million in the aggregate for these two tax years. Athene USA agreed to all adjustments that were proposed with respect to those tax years except for adjustments relating to the same two issues that were not agreed to during the prior examination as discussed above. The first adjustment to which Athene USA did not agree would disallow deductions of $16 million in 2011 and increase deductions by $12 million in 2012. The second adjustment to which Athene USA did not agree would increase non-life net operating losses and decrease AAIA net operating losses by $15 million in 2011 and $12 million in 2012. Taxes, penalties and interest with respect to these two tax years are subject to indemnification by Aviva plc under the SPA, assuming the SPA requirements are satisfied. The treatment of FIA hedges is a recurring issue as to the timing of the related deductions and could affect the current income tax incurred in periods after October 2, 2013, which are not subject to indemnification by Aviva plc. Given that the disallowance of a deduction in one period results in an increased deduction in a future period, we do not expect that there will be any material impact to our financial condition resulting from this issue.

In 2000 and 2001, two insurance companies which were subsequently merged into AAIA purchased from American General Life Insurance Company (American General) broad based variable corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) policies that, as of March 31, 2017, had an asset value of $333 million, and is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In January 2012, the COLI policy administrator delivered to AAIA a supplement to the existing COLI policies and advised that American General and ZC Resource Investment Trust (ZC Trust) had unilaterally implemented changes set forth in the supplement that if effective, would: (1) potentially negatively impact the crediting rate for the policies and (2) change the exit and surrender protocols set forth in the policies. In March 2013, AAIA filed suit against American General, ZC Trust, and ZC Resource LLC in Chancery Court in Delaware, seeking, among other relief, a declaration that the changes set forth in the supplement were ineffectual and in breach of the parties’ agreement. The parties filed cross motions for judgment as a matter of law, and the court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed without prejudice on ripeness grounds. The issue that negatively impacts the crediting rate for one of the COLI policies has been triggered and we will pursue further adjudication. If the supplement is ultimately deemed to be effective, the purported changes to the policies could impair AAIA’s ability to access the value of guarantees associated with the policies. The value of the guarantees included within the asset value reflected above are $160 million as of March 31, 2017.

We operate our core business strategies out of one reportable segment, Retirement Services. In addition to Retirement Services, we report certain other operations in Corporate and Other.

Retirement Services—Retirement Services is comprised of our United States and Bermuda operations which issue and reinsure retirement savings products and institutional products. Retirement Services has retail operations, which provide annuity retirement solutions to our policyholders.

Operating revenue is a component of operating income, net of tax, and excludes market volatility and adjustments for other non-operating activity. Our operating revenue equals our total revenue, adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following non-operating adjustments:

• Change in fair values of derivatives and embedded derivatives – index annuities, net of offsets;

• Investment gains (losses), net of offsets;

• VIE expenses and noncontrolling interest; and

• Other adjustments to revenues.

15. Subsequent Events

On April 14, 2017, in connection with a private offering, AGER Bermuda Holding Ltd. (AGER), a Bermuda domiciled holding company and the holding company of ADKG, entered into subscription agreements with AHL, certain affiliates of AGM and a number of other third-party investors pursuant to which AGER secured commitments from such parties to purchase new common shares in AGER (AGER Offering). AHL's capital commitment includes the valuation of the AGER Group (comprised of our European operations which includes ADKG) at approximately €90 million, which also approximates our invested capital in the AGER Group. Additionally, AHL has committed to purchase an additional €285 million of common shares (which may be reduced to €260 million if certain conditions are met), as well as an additional profits interest in securities which, upon meeting certain vesting triggers, will be convertible into additional common shares.

Upon closing of the AGER Offering, the aggregate voting power held by AHL in AGER will be reduced to 10%. The completion of the AGER Offering is conditioned upon obtaining certain regulatory approvals, and other customary terms and conditions. We expect that AGER's initial material capital call will result in the issuance by AGER of new common shares to affiliates of Apollo and other third-party investors, such that our interest in the AGER Group will be reduced so the AGER Group will be held as an investment rather than a consolidated subsidiary of AHL.

The valuation of the AGER Group was fixed at €90 million as of April 14, 2017, and is unaffected by any profit or loss or other increase or decrease in value of the AGER Group during the period between April 14, 2017 and the date on which the AGER Group is deconsolidated, which we expect to be nine months or longer. As a result, to the extent that our invested capital and/or the fair value of our AGER Group increases or decreases during such time period, we may incur a gain or loss upon deconsolidation.

We also expect AAME to continue to act as investment adviser in regards to the investment portfolio of the AGER Group, though the services provided and fees charged may differ from the existing arrangement.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a leading retirement services company that issues, reinsures and acquires retirement savings products designed for the increasing number of individuals and institutions seeking to fund retirement needs. We generate attractive financial results for our policyholders and shareholders by combining our two core competencies of (1) sourcing long-term, generally illiquid liabilities and (2) investing in a high quality investment portfolio, which takes advantage of the illiquid nature of our liabilities. 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. Our differentiated investment strategy benefits from our strategic relationship with Apollo and its indirect subsidiary, AAM. AAM provides a full suite of services for our investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisition asset diligence and certain operational support services, including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Our relationship with Apollo and AAM also provides us with access to Apollo’s investment professionals across the world as well as Apollo’s global asset management infrastructure that, as of March 31, 2017, supported more than $197 billion of AUM across a broad array of asset classes. We are led by a highly skilled management team with extensive industry experience. We are based in Bermuda with our U.S. subsidiaries' headquarters located in Iowa.

We began operating in 2009 when the burdens of the financial crisis and resulting capital demands caused many companies to exit the retirement market, creating the need for a well-capitalized company with an experienced management team to fill the void. Taking advantage of this market dislocation, we have been able to acquire substantial blocks of long-duration liabilities and reinvest the related investments to produce profitable returns. We have established a significant base of earnings and as of March 31, 2017, have an expected annual investment margin of 2-3% over the 7.9 year weighted-average life of our deferred annuities, which make up a substantial portion of our reserve liabilities. Even as we have grown to $75.1 billion in investments, including related parties, $73.6 billionin invested assets and $89.2 billion of total assets as of March 31, 2017, we have continued to approach both sides of the balance sheet with an opportunistic mindset because we believe quickly identifying and capitalizing on market dislocations allows us to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders. Further, our multiple distribution channels support growing origination across market environments and better enable us to achieve continued balance sheet growth while maintaining attractive profitability. We believe that in a typical market environment, we will be able to profitably grow through our organic channels, including retail, flow reinsurance and institutional products. In more challenging market environments, we believe that we will see additional opportunities to grow through our inorganic channels, including acquisitions and block reinsurance, due to market stress during those periods.

As a result of our focus on issuing, reinsuring and acquiring attractively-priced liabilities, our differentiated investment strategy and our significant scale, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended the year ended December 31, 2016, we generated an annualized investment margin on deferred annuities of 2.85% and 2.77%, respectively and annualized operating ROE excluding AOCI of 22.8% and 19.1%, respectively for our Retirement Services segment. We currently maintain what we believe to be high capital ratios for our rating and hold more than $1.5 billion of excess capital, and view this excess as strategic capital available to reinvest into organic and inorganic growth opportunities. Because we hold such strategic capital to implement our opportunistic strategy and to enable us to explore deployment opportunities as they arise, and because we are investing for future growth, our consolidated annualized ROE for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 was 20.6% and 13.1%, respectively and our consolidated annualized operating ROE excluding AOCI was 15.3% and 12.5%, respectively.

We operate our core business strategies out of one reportable segment, Retirement Services. In addition to Retirement Services, we report certain other operations in Corporate and Other. Retirement Services is comprised of our U.S. and Bermuda operations which issue and reinsure retirement savings products and institutional products. Corporate and Other includes certain other operations related to our corporate activities and our German operations, which is primarily comprised of participating long-duration savings products.

We have developed organic and inorganic channels to address the retirement services market and grow our assets and liabilities. By focusing on the retirement services market, we believe that we will benefit from several demographic and economic trends, including the increasing number of retirees in the United States, the lack of tax advantaged alternatives for people trying to save for retirement and expectations of a rising interest rate environment. To date, most of our products sold and acquired have been fixed annuities, which offer people saving for retirement a product that is tax advantaged, has a minimum guaranteed rate of return or minimum cash value and provides protection against investment loss. Our policies often include surrender charges (86% of our deferred annuity products, as of March 31, 2017) or MVAs (73% of our deferred annuity products, as of March 31, 2017), both of which increase persistency and protect our ability to meet our obligations to policyholders. Our organic channels, including retail, flow reinsurance and institutional products, provided deposits of $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We believe the recent upgrade by A.M. Best to A in April 2017 and the 2015 upgrade of our financial strength ratings to A- by each of S&P, Fitch and A.M. Best and our recent FIA and MYGA new product launches, have enabled and will continue to enable us to increase penetration in our existing organic channels, and access new markets within our retail channel, such as financial institutions. This increased penetration will allow us to source additional volumes of profitably underwritten liabilities. Our inorganic channels, including acquisitions and block reinsurance, have contributed significantly to our growth. We believe our internal acquisitions team, with support from Apollo, has an industry-leading ability to source, underwrite, and expeditiously close transactions, which makes us a competitive counterparty for acquisition or block reinsurance transactions. The aggregate purchase price of our acquisitions was less than the aggregate statutory book value of the businesses acquired.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We plan to grow organically by expanding our retail, reinsurance and institutional product distribution channels. We believe that we have the right people, infrastructure and scale to position us for continued growth. Within our retail channel we had fixed annuity sales of $1.1 billion and $663 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We aim to grow our retail channel in the United States by deepening our relationships with our approximately 65 IMOs and approximately 33,000 independent agents. Our strong financial position and capital efficient products allow us to be a dependable partner with IMOs and consistently write new business. We work with our IMOs to develop customized, and at times exclusive, products that help drive sales. We expect our retail channel to continue to benefit from the ratings upgrade in 2017 by A.M. Best, our improving credit profile and recent product launches. We believe this should support growth in sales at our desired cost of crediting through increased volumes via current IMOs and access to new distribution channels, including small to mid-sized banks and regional broker-dealers. We are implementing the necessary technology platform, hiring and training a specialized sales force, and have created products to capture new potential distribution opportunities. Within our reinsurance channel we target reinsurance business consistent with our preferred liability characteristics, and as such, reinsurance provides another opportunistic channel for us to source long-term liabilities with attractive crediting rates. We generated deposits through our flow reinsurance channel of $166 million and $912 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We believe the decrease in flow reinsurance has been impacted by the recent decline in overall MYGA volumes over the last several months, reflective of the recent stock market rally and expectations of higher interest rates. As we continue to source additional reinsurance partners, we expect to further diversify our flow reinsurance channel and expect that our recent ratings upgrade by A.M. Best and our improving credit profile will help us attract additional reinsurance partners. In our institutional channel, we sold our first funding agreement under our FABN program in 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and during April of 2017, we issued funding agreements in the aggregate principal amount of $650 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. We expect our institutional channel to continue to grow over time as we issue additional funding agreements and pursue pension risk transfer opportunities.

Industry Trends and Competition

Market Conditions

Our business and results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally. A general economic slowdown could adversely affect us in the form of changes in consumer behavior and decreases in the returns on and value of our investment portfolio. Concerns over the slow economic recovery, the level of U.S. national debt, currency fluctuations and volatility, the stability of the EU, Brexit and the potential exit of certain other EU members, the rate of growth of China and other Asian economies, unemployment, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. housing market, inflation levels, low or negative interest rates, energy costs and geopolitical issues have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets. Market conditions have generally improved since the U.S. elections in November on hopes of improved economic growth, however the long term outlook remains uncertain. Declining economic growth rates globally and resultant diverging paths of monetary policy could increase volatility in the credit markets, potentially impacting the availability and cost of credit. Factors such as equity prices, equity market volatility, interest rates, counterparty risks, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws or regulations (including laws relating to the financial markets generally or the taxation or regulation of the insurance industry), trade barriers, commodity prices, currency exchange rates and controls and national and international political circumstances (including governmental instability, wars, terrorist acts or security operations) can have a material impact on the value of our investment portfolio and our ability to sell our products. We adjust the structure of our products depending on the economic environment, the behavior of customers and other factors, including mortality rates, morbidity rates, cap rates, rollup rates, annuitization rates and lapse rates, which can vary in response to changes in market conditions. We believe continued economic growth, stable financial markets and a potentially rising interest rate environment may ultimately enhance the attractiveness of our product portfolio. However, we remain exposed to potential slowdowns in economic activity, which could be characterized by rising unemployment, falling interest rates, widening credit spreads and an increase in corporate credit and real estate-related defaults.

Interest Rate Environment

As a retirement services company focused on issuing and reinsuring fixed annuities, we are affected by the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve in the United States as well as other central banks around the world. In spite of the Federal Reserve's recent increases in federal funds rates in March 2017, December 2016 and December 2015, interest rates in the United States remain lower than historical levels. The lower interest rates in part are due to a number of actions taken in recent years by the Federal Reserve in an effort to stimulate economic activity. Any future increases in federal funds rates are uncertain and will depend on the economic outlook.

Our investment portfolio consists predominantly of fixed maturity investments. See Consolidated Investment Portfolio. If prevailing interest rates were to rise, we believe the yield on our new investment purchases would 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, it is likely that the yield on our new investment purchases would 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 and through ALM modeling. We endeavor to limit reinvestment risk related to cash flows by managing our asset portfolio to ensure it provides adequate cash flows to meet our expected policyholder benefit cash flows to within tolerable risk management limits. Our strategy is to achieve sustainable yields that allow us to maintain an attractive investment margin. As part of our investment strategy, we purchase floating rate investments, which we expect will perform well in a rising interest rate environment. Our investment portfolio includes $21.5 billion of floating rate investments, or approximately 29% of our total invested assets as of March 31, 2017. As part of our reinvestment strategy for the investment portfolios of our acquired companies, we generally seek to reinvest assets at yields higher than the related assets being liquidated for reinvestment. We continuously seek to optimize our investment portfolio to achieve favorable returns over the long term.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

If prevailing interest rates were to rise, we believe our products would be more attractive to consumers and our sales would likely increase. In periods of prolonged low interest rates, the investment margin earned on deferred annuities may be negatively impacted by reduced investment income as well as to the extent our ability to reduce policyholder crediting rates are limited by policyholder guarantees in the form of minimum crediting rates. As of March 31, 2017, most of our products were fixed annuities with approximately 37% of our FIAs at the minimum guarantees and approximately 50% of our fixed rate annuities at the minimum crediting rates. As of March 31, 2017, minimum guarantees on all of our deferred annuities, including those with crediting rates already at their minimum guarantees, were, on average, 75 to 85 basis points below the crediting rates on such deferred annuities, allowing us room to reduce rates before reaching the minimum guarantees. The remaining liabilities are associated with immediate annuities, funding agreements or life contracts which have crediting rates or costs that are less sensitive or insensitive to interest rate movements. A significant majority of our 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, our willingness to do so may be limited by competitive pressures.

See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks in our 2016 Annual Report, 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 United States 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, particularly as federal, state and local marginal tax rates have increased. Our tax-efficient savings products are well positioned to meet this increasing customer demand. The impact of this growth in demand may be offset to some extent by asset outflows as an increasing percentage of the population begins withdrawing assets to convert their savings into income.

We believe that our strong presence in the FIA market and strength of our relationships with IMOs position us to effectively serve consumers' demand in the rapidly growing retirement savings market. We expect our retail channel to benefit from rating agency upgrades as well as our improving credit profile and recent product launches. We believe this should help us to grow sales at our desired cost of crediting through increased volumes via current IMOs and access to new distribution channels, including small to mid-sized banks and regional broker-dealers. We also believe that the 2015 financial strength upgrades, as well as our upgrade to A by A.M. Best in April 2017, have enabled and will continue to enable us to increase penetration in our existing organic channels, and will help us to enter the pension risk transfer market.

Competition

We operate in highly competitive markets. We face 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 many segments, product differentiation is difficult as product development and life cycles have shortened. In addition, we have experienced pressure on fees as product unbundling and lower cost alternatives have emerged. As a result, 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 FIA market.

According to LIMRA, total fixed annuity market sales in the United States were $117.4 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, a 14.0% increase from the same time period in 2015. This increase was driven by an increase in traditional fixed rate deferred annuities of $7.8 billion, or 25.2% over prior year traditional fixed rate deferred annuities, and an increase in FIA products of $6.4 billion, or 11.7% over prior year FIAs. In the total fixed annuity market, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, we were the 5th largest company based on sales with a 4.5% market share and $5.3 billion in sales. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, our market share was 2.4% with sales of $2.5 billion.

FIAs are one of the fastest growing annuity products having grown from $27.3 billion in 2005 to $60.9 billion in sales for the year ended December 31, 2016. According to LIMRA, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, we were the 3rd largest provider of FIAs in terms of sales, and our market share for the same period was 7.4% with sales of $4.5 billion. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, our market share was 4.5% with sales of $2.4 billion.

Regulatory Developments

On April 6, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued a new regulation more broadly defining the circumstances under which a person is considered to be a fiduciary by reason of giving investment advice or recommendations to an employee benefit plan or a plan’s participants or to IRA holders. In addition to releasing the investment advice regulation, the DOL: (1) issued a new prohibited transaction class exemption titled the “Best Interest Contract Exemption,” to be used in connection with the sale of FIAs or variable annuities, and (2) updated the previously prohibited transaction class exemption 84-24, to be used in connection with the sale of traditional fixed rate annuities. The requirements of the regulation were scheduled to begin to be implemented on April 10, 2017, with full implementation on January 1, 2018; however, the DOL has published an amendment to the regulation that delays the applicability date for 60 days to allow the DOL to review the potential impact of the regulation on the ability of Americans to gain access to retirement information and financial advice in accordance with an executive memorandum signed by President Trump on February 3, 2017. In addition to delaying the applicability date of the DOL regulation, the DOL revised certain prohibited transaction exemptions, most notably allowing all annuity products, fixed, FIAs and variable annuities, to rely on an updated version of prohibited transaction class exemption 84-24 from June 9, 2017 through January 1, 2018, at which time full implementation of the DOL regulation is required. The DOL also opened a 45-day comment period, which closed on April 17, 2017, to collect responses to the questions raised in the executive memorandum. We anticipate a possible replacement of the regulation that is less burdensome but still requires sales to be in the best interest of clients. However, such a change is not guaranteed, and we continue to move forward in preparation for the delayed applicability date and full implementation on January 1, 2018, assuming the regulation remains unchanged.

Both the U.S. Congress and President Trump’s administration have indicated a desire to reform the Internal Revenue Code. Although the 2016 U.S. House of Representatives Blueprint, “A Better Way” and President Trump's recently proposed tax reform plan do not align on all tax reform proposals, substantial proposed changes to the U.S. corporate tax regime include: reduction of the maximum corporate tax rate, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, elimination of net operating loss carryback, immediate expensing of business assets, and elimination of a deduction for net interest expense as well as substantial changes to the international tax system including border tax adjustments, a destination based cash flow tax and moving to a territorial based tax system. A reduction in the corporate tax rate would have a positive impact on the earnings and cash flow of our U.S. companies, but it could also reduce the value of our deferred tax assets. Although it is not known at this time how border tax adjustments will (if enacted) be applied to insurers and reinsurers, it is possible that such adjustments will involve denying a deduction to U.S. insurance companies for reinsurance premium paid to a foreign reinsurer, which would materially increase our overall U.S. tax expense. In addition, it is not yet known whether potential tax reform will include further changes impacting the current tax treatment of insurance companies under the Internal Revenue Code. At this time, it is not possible to determine the impact of potential legislative changes on our financial condition and results of operations.

Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our results presented in accordance with GAAP, our results of operations include certain non-GAAP measures commonly used in our industry. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant GAAP measures, provides a better 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) as well as integration, restructuring and certain other expenses which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future, 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 GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the GAAP measures. See Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations for the appropriate reconciliations to the GAAP measures.

Operating Income, Net of Tax

Operating income, net of tax, a commonly used operating measure in the life insurance industry, is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring, stock compensation, and other expenses. Our operating income, net of tax, equals net income available to AHL’s shareholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following (collectively, the “non-operating adjustments”):

• Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets—Investment gains (losses), net of offsets, consist of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities, the change in assumed modco and funds withheld reinsurance embedded derivatives, unrealized gains and losses, impairments, and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized, impairments and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities (other than CLOs) and investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging FIA index credits, and the net OTTI impacts recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments and the change in unit linked reserves related to the corresponding trading securities. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to GLWB and guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) reserves (together, GLWB and GMDB reserves represent rider reserves)as well as the MVAs associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.

58

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

• Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives – FIAs, Net of Offsets—Impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the FIA index credits and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuate 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 FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the FIA hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the FIA hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment, net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to rider reserves.

We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our FIA products (typically 1-2 years). From 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 “value of an embedded derivative” in an FIA contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.

• Integration, Restructuring, and Other Non-operating Expenses—Integration, restructuring, and other non-operating expensesconsist ofrestructuring and integration expenses related to mergers and acquisitions as well as certain other expenses which are not part of our core operations or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future.

• Stock Compensation Expense—To date, stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, excluding our long term incentive plan, are not part of our core operating expenses and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.

• Bargain Purchase Gain—Bargain purchase gains associated with acquisitions are adjustments to net income as they are not consistent with our core operations.

• Income Taxes (Expense) Benefit – Non-operating—The non-operating income tax expense is comprised of the appropriate jurisdiction's tax rate applied to the non-operating adjustments that are subject to income tax.

We consider these non-operating adjustments to be meaningful adjustments to net income available to AHL's shareholders for the reasons discussed in greater detail above. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes the impact of these items is effective in analyzing the trends in our results of operations. Together with net income available to AHL's shareholders, we believe operating income, net of tax, provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand our underlying results and profitability. Operating income, net of tax, should not be used as a substitute for net income available to AHL's shareholders.

ROE Excluding AOCI and Operating ROE Excluding AOCI

ROE excluding AOCI and operating ROE excluding AOCI are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate our financial performance excluding the impacts of AOCI. AOCI fluctuates 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. Once we have reinvested acquired blocks of businesses, we typically buy and hold AFS 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. Accordingly, we believe using measures which exclude AOCI is more effective in analyzing the trends of our operations. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. ROE excluding AOCI and operating ROE excluding AOCI should not be used as a substitute for ROE. However, we believe the adjustments to equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations.

Operating Earnings Per Share - Operating Diluted Class A, Weighted Average Shares Outstanding - Operating Diluted Class A Common Shares and Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI

Operating earnings per share - operating diluted Class A, weighted average shares outstanding - operating diluted Class A common shares and book value per share excluding AOCI are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate our financial performance and financial condition. The non-GAAP measures adjust the number of shares included in the corresponding GAAP measures to reflect the conversion or settlement of all shares and other stock-based awards outstanding. We believe using these measures represent an economic view of our share counts and provide a simplified and consistent view of our outstanding shares. Operating earnings per share - operating diluted Class A is calculated as the operating income, net of tax over the weighted average shares outstanding - operating diluted Class A common shares. Book value per share excluding AOCI is calculated as the ending AHL shareholders' equity excluding AOCI divided by the operating diluted Class A common shares outstanding. Our Class B common shares are economically equivalent to Class A common shares and can be converted to Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. Our Class M common shares are in the legal form of shares but economically function as options as they are convertible into Class A shares after vesting and settlement of the conversion price. In calculating Class A diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, we are required to apply sequencing rules to determine the dilutive impacts, if any, of our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and any other stock-based awards. To the extent our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and/or any other stock-based awards are not dilutive they are excluded. Weighted average shares outstanding - operating diluted Class A common shares and operating diluted Class A common shares outstanding assume conversion or settlement of all outstanding items that are able to be converted to or settled in Class A common shares, including the impacts of Class B common shares on a one-for-one basis, the impacts of all Class M common shares net of the conversion price and any other stock-based awards. For certain historical periods, Class M shares were not included due to issuance restrictions which were contingent upon our IPO. Operating earnings per share - operating diluted Class A, weighted average shares outstanding - operating diluted Class A common shares and book value per share excluding AOCI should not be used as a substitute for basic earnings per share - Class A common shares, basic weighted average shares outstanding - Class A or book value per share. However, we believe the adjustments to the shares and equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition.

Retirement Services Net Investment Earned Rate, Cost of Crediting and Investment Margin on Deferred Annuities

Investment margin is a key measurement of the financial health of our Retirement Services core deferred annuities. Investment margin on our deferred annuities is generated from the excess of our net investment earned rate over the cost of crediting to our policyholders. Net investment earned rate is a key measure of investment returns and cost of crediting is a key measure of the policyholder benefits on our deferred annuities.

Net investment earned rate is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate the performance of our invested assets that does not correspond to GAAP net investment income. Net investment earned rate is computed as the income from our invested assets divided by the average invested assets for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. The adjustments to arrive at our net investment earned rate add alternative investment gains and losses, gains and losses related to trading securities for CLOs, net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interest) and the change in reinsurance embedded derivatives. We include the income and assets supporting our assumed reinsurance 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 GAAP presentation of reinsurance embedded derivatives. We exclude the income and assets supporting business that we have exited through ceded reinsurance including funds withheld agreements. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a net investment earned rate on the assets for which we have economic exposure.

Cost of crediting is the interest credited to the policyholders on our fixed strategies as well as the option costs on the index annuity strategies. With respect to FIAs, the cost of providing index credits includes the expenses incurred to fund the annual index credits, and where applicable, minimum guaranteed interest credited. The interest credited on fixed strategies and option costs on index annuity strategies are divided by the average account value of our deferred annuities. Under GAAP, deposits and withdrawals for fixed indexed and fixed rate annuities are reported as deposit liabilities (or policyholder funds). Our average account values are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to obtain our cost of crediting for such period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized.

Net investment earned rate, cost of crediting and investment margin on deferred annuities are non-GAAP measures we use to evaluate the profitability of our core deferred annuities business. Deferred annuities include our fixed rate annuities and FIAs, which account for approximately80%of ourRetirement Servicesreserve liabilities as ofMarch 31, 2017. We believe measures like net investment earned rate, cost of crediting and investment margin on deferred annuities are effective in analyzing the trends of our core business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe net investment earned rate, cost of crediting and investment margin on deferred annuities are meaningful financial metrics and enhance our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, they should not be used as a substitute for net investment income and interest sensitive contract benefits presented under GAAP.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Invested Assets

In managing our business we analyze invested assets, which do not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Invested assets represent the investments that directly back our policyholder liabilities as well as surplus assets. Invested assets is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Invested assets includes (a) total investments on the consolidated balance sheets with AFS securities 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) the consolidated VIE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest and (f) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments). Invested assets also excludes assets associated with funds withheld liabilities related to business exited through reinsurance agreements and derivative collateral (offsetting the related cash positions). We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements in our 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. Our invested assets are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period.

Reserve Liabilities

In managing our business we also analyze reserve liabilities, which does not correspond to total liabilities as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Reserve liabilities represents our policyholder liability obligations net of reinsurance. Reserve liabilities is used to analyze the costs of our liabilities. Reserve liabilities includes (a) the interest sensitive contract liabilities, (b) future policy benefits, (c) dividends payable to policyholders, and (d) other policy claims and benefits, offset by reinsurance recoverables, excluding policy loans ceded. Reserve liabilities is 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. The majority of our ceded reinsurance is a result of reinsuring large blocks of life business following acquisitions. For such transactions, 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.

Sales

Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of understanding our business performance. Our sales statistics include fixed rate annuities and FIAs 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).

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

In this section, references to 2017 refer to the three months ended March 31, 2017 and references to 2016 refer to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Net Income Available to AHL Shareholders

Net income available to AHL shareholders increased by $286 million, or 329%, to $373 million in 2017 from $87 million in 2016. ROE and ROE excluding AOCI increased to 20.6% and 22.2%, respectively, from 6.3% and 6.2% in 2016, respectively. The increase in net income available to AHL shareholders was driven by a $106 millionincrease in operating income, net of tax, a favorable net change in FIA derivatives and a favorable change in assumed reinsurance embedded derivatives. The net change in FIA derivatives was primarily driven by the performance of the equity indices to which our FIA policies are linked and favorable changes in discount rates compared to prior year. The change in assumed reinsurance embedded derivatives was driven by credit spreads tightening in 2017.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Operating Income, Net of Tax

Operating income, net of tax increased by $106 million, or 70%, to $258 million in 2017 from $152 million in 2016. Operating ROE excluding AOCI was 15.3%, up from 10.8% in the prior period. The increase in operating income, net of tax was primarily driven by a strong increase in net investment earnings due to higher fixed income and other investment income and higher alternative investment income as well as favorable rider reserves and DAC amortization due to strong equity market performance partially offset by higher cost of crediting. The increase in fixed income and other investment income was primarily due to growth in our Retirement Services invested assets of $5.8 billion, higher interest rates and proceeds from a bond previously written down. The increase in alternative investment income was due to strength across the alternative portfolio. In 2016, fixed income and other investment income benefited from $45 million of bond call income from a large redemption partially offset by lower alternative investment income driven by lower credit fund income due to credit spreads widening and a decline in market value of public equity positions in one of our funds. Cost of crediting was higher by $20 milliondue to growth in our deferred annuity block of business which was partially offset by recent rate actions and lower option costs. Other liability costs were in line with prior year having benefited by approximately $40 million of rider reserve changes and favorable DAC amortization driven by strong equity market performance in 2017 compared to 2016 offset by growth in the block of business.

Our consolidated net investment earned rate was 4.48% in 2017, an increase from 4.03% in 2016, primarily attributed to a strong performance from our alternative investment portfolio and an increase in our fixed income and other investment portfolios. Our alternative investment net investment earned rate was 8.06% in 2017, an increase from (0.37)% in 2016, primarily attributed to lower income in 2016 reflecting credit spread widening as well as a decline in market value of public equity positions in one of our funds.

Revenues

Total revenue increased by $897 million to $1.6 billion in 2017 from $722 million in 2016. The increase was driven by favorable changes in investment related gains and losses, an increase in net investment income and a favorable change in VIE investment related gains and losses.

The change in investment related gains and losses increased by $764 million to $682 million in 2017 from $(82) million in 2016, primarily due to the change in fair value of FIA hedging derivatives andthe change in assumed reinsurance embedded derivatives. The change in fair value of FIA hedging derivativesincreasedby$637 milliondriven by the performance of the indices upon which our call options are based. The majority of our call options are based on the S&P 500 index which experienceda 5.5%increase in 2017, compared to an 0.8%increase in2016. The assumed reinsurance embedded derivatives are based on the change in the fair value of the underlying investments held in modco and funds withheld portfolios (seeNote 3 – Derivative Instruments to the condensed consolidated financial statements) whichincreasedby$90 millionas a result of$93 millionof net investment income adjustment during thethree months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due tocredit spreads tightening in 2017 compared to credit spreads widening in 2016. The change in unrealized gains and losses on trading securities was comprised of an unfavorable decrease in AmerUs Closed Block assets of$39 millionrelated tohigher unrealized gains in 2016 due to the decrease in U.S. treasury rates partially offset by$30 millionof gains related to unit-linked investments attributed to a decrease in rates.

Net investment income increased by $94 million to $786 million in 2017 from $692 million in 2016, primarily driven by a strong increase in fixed income and other investment income and an increase in alternative investment income. The increase in fixed income and other investment income was driven by earnings from growth in our investment portfolio attributed to a strong increase in deposits over the prior twelve months, $14 million of proceeds from a bond previously written down and higher income on floating rate securities related to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by lower bond call and mortgage prepayment income of $39 million related to a large redemption in 2016 of $45 million. The increase in alternative investment income was primarily driven by higher credit fund income due to credit spread tightening in 2017 compared to credit spreads widening in 2016.

The change in VIE investment related gains and losses increased by $24 million to $1 million in 2017 from $(23) million in 2016, primarily driven by a decline in market value of public equity positions in one of our funds in 2016.

Benefits and Expenses

Total benefits and expenses increased by $590 million to $1.2 billion in 2017 from $634 million in 2016. The increase was driven by an unfavorable change in interest sensitive contract benefits, an increase in DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization and higher policy and other operating expenses.

Interest sensitive contract benefits increased by $443 million to $696 million in 2017 from $253 million in 2016, primarily due to the change in FIA fair value embedded derivatives and higher interest credited to policyholders related to strong growth in deposits. The change in FIA fair value embedded derivatives increased by $398 million primarily driven by the performance of the equity indices to which our FIA policies are linked, primarily the S&P 500 index, which experienced a 5.5%increase in 2017, compared to a 0.8%increase in 2016 as well as a favorable change in discount rates used in our embedded derivative calculations as the decrease in 2016 discount rates was larger than the slight decrease in 2017.

DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization increased by $94 million to $126 million in 2017 from $32 million in 2016, primarily due to the favorable net change in FIA derivatives, the favorable change in investment related gains and losses and growth in the DAC asset balances related to block growth offset by the strong equity market performance in 2017 compared to 2016.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Policy and other operating expensesincreased by $52 million to $156 million in 2017 from $104 million in 2016, primarily attributed to $28 million increase in stock compensation expense reflecting a benefit in 2016 attributed to the decline in share price of our peer subgroup used to value our common share price. The remaining increase was primarily attributed to growing our business and expanding our distribution channels.

Future policy and other policy benefits decreased by $10 million to $214 million in 2017 from $224 million in 2016, primarily attributable to a decrease in the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value liability, partially offset by an unfavorable change in the rider reserves. The favorable change in the AmerUs Closed Block fair value liability of $59 million was primarily driven by the increase in unrealized gains on the underlying investments driven by higher unrealized gains in 2016 due to the decrease in U.S. treasury rates. We have elected the fair value option to value the AmerUs Closed Block whereby the fair value of liabilities is the sum of the fair value of the assets plus our cost of capital in the AmerUs Closed Block. The unfavorable change in rider reserves of $41 million was primarily driven by the growth in the block of business and an increase related to the net change in FIA derivatives partially offset by the strong equity market performance in 2017 compared to 2016 resulting in increased index credits to policyholder accounts, which lowered the amount needed to fund the rider reserve.

Taxes    

Income tax expense increased by $21 million to $22 million in 2017 from $1 million in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in income subject to U.S. income taxes of $54 million, or approximately $19 million of tax based on a 35% U.S. statutory rate.

Our effective tax rates were 6% in 2017 and 1% in 2016. Our effective tax rates may vary year-to-year depending upon the relationship of income and loss subject to tax compared to consolidated income and loss before income taxes.

Retirement Services

Retirement Services is comprised of our United States and Bermuda operations which issue and reinsure retirement savings products and institutional products. Retirement Services has retail operations, which provide annuity retirement solutions to our policyholders. Retirement Services also has reinsurance operations, which reinsure MYGAs, FIAs, traditional one year guarantee fixed deferred annuities, immediate annuities and institutional products from our reinsurance partners. In addition, our funding agreements are included in our Retirement Services segment.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Operating Income, Net of Tax

Operating income, net of tax increased by $70 million, or 36%, to $267 million in 2017, from $197 million in 2016. Operating ROE excluding AOCI was 22.8%, up from 19.7% in the prior period. The increase in operating income, net of tax was primarily driven by an increase in net investment income from strong fixed income and other investment income and strong alternative investment income as well as favorable rider reserves and DAC amortization due to strong equity market performance partially offset by higher cost of crediting. The increase in net investment income was driven mainly by earnings from growth in invested assets of $5.8 billion, higher interest rates, the proceeds from a bond previously written down and strength in the alternatives portfolio. In 2016, fixed income and other investment income benefited from $45 million of bond call income from a large redemption partially offset by lower alternative investment income driven by lower credit fund income due to credit spreads widening. Cost of crediting was higher by $20 million due to growth in our deferred annuity block of business which was partially offset by recent rate actions and lower option costs. Other liability costs were in line with prior year having benefited by approximately $40 million of rider reserve changes and favorable DAC amortization driven by strong equity market performance in 2017 compared to 2016 offset by growth in the block of business.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Net investment income increased$89 million primarily driven by a $55 millionincrease in fixed income and other investment income attributed earnings from growth in invested assets of $5.8 billion attributed to a strong increase in deposits over the prior twelve months, $14 million of proceeds on the recovery of a bond previously written down and higher income on floating rate securities related to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by lower bond call and mortgage prepayment income of $39 million related to a large redemption in 2016 of $45 million. The increase in alternative investment income was primarily driven by higher credit fund income due to credit spread tightening in 2017 compared to credit spreads widening in 2016.

Investment Margin on Deferred Annuities

	Three months ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Net investment earned rate	4.76	%	4.59	%
Cost of crediting	1.91	%	1.96	%
Investment margin on deferred annuities	2.85	%	2.63	%

Investment margin on deferred annuities increased by 22 basis points to 2.85% in 2017, from 2.63% in 2016. The increase in the investment margin on deferred annuities was driven by the increase in net investment earned rate of 17 basis points, showing strength in our investment portfolio, and a favorable decrease in cost of crediting of 5 basis points.

Net investment earned rate increased due to the increase in alternative investment income earned rate partially offset by a slight decrease in fixed income and other investment income earned rate. The alternative investments net investments earned rateincreasedto10.58%in2017, from5.79%in2016driven bylower income in 2016 reflecting credit spread widening. The fixed income and other net investment earned rate decreased slightly in 2017, to 4.52% from 4.54% in 2016 primarily driven by lower bond call and mortgage prepayment income related to a large redemption of 30 basis points in 2016 partially offset by the proceeds from a bond previously written down and higher income on floating rate securities related to an increase in interest rates. The net investment earned rates continue to reflect impacts of holding approximately 29% of total invested assets in floating rate investments and 1% of invested assets in cash holdings to opportunistically capitalize on market dislocations.

Cost of crediting on deferred annuitiesdecreasedby5 basis points to 1.91%in 2017, from1.96%in 2016. Thedecreasein cost of crediting was driven by recent rate actions and lower option costs. We continue to focus on pricing discipline, managing interest rates credited to policyholders and managing the cost of options to fund the annual index credits on our FIA products.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other includes certain other operations related to our corporate activities and our German operations, which is primarily comprised of participating long-duration savings products. In addition to our German operations, included in Corporate and Other are corporate allocated expenses, merger and acquisition costs, debt costs, certain integration and restructuring costs, certain stock-based compensation and intersegment eliminations. In Corporate and Other we also hold capital in excess of the level of capital we hold in Retirement Services to support our operating strategy.

Operating Income (Loss), Net of Tax

Operating (loss), net of tax decreased by $36 million, or 80%, to $(9) million in 2017, from $(45) million in 2016. The decrease in operating (loss), net of tax was driven by an increase in alternative investment income attributed to lower credit fund income in 2016 due to credit spread widening and a decline in market value of public equity positions in one of our funds in 2016. This was partially offset by an $11 million unfavorable change in fair value within one of our funds in 2017. Results in the quarter for our German business were in line with those in the prior year.

Consolidated Investment Portfolio

We had consolidated investments, including related parties, of $75.1 billion and $72.4 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our investment strategy seeks to achieve sustainable risk-adjusted returns through disciplined managing of investment characteristics with our long-duration liabilities and the diversification of risk. The investment strategies utilized by our investment managers 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. The majority of our investment portfolio, excluding investments of our German subsidiary, are managed by AAM, an indirect subsidiary of Apollo founded for the express purpose of managing Athene’s portfolio. AAM provides a full suite of services for our investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisition asset diligence, and certain operational support services, including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Our relationship with AAM and Apollo allows us to take advantage of our generally illiquid liability profile by identifying investment opportunities with an emphasis on earning incremental yield by taking liquidity and complexity risk rather than assuming solely credit risk. The deep experience of the AAM investment team and Apollo’s credit portfolio managers assist us in sourcing and underwriting complex asset classes. AAM 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 rate-sensitive instruments, including CLOs, non-agency RMBS and various types of structured products. In addition to our fixed income portfolio, we opportunistically allocate 5-10% of our portfolio to alternative investments where we primarily focus on fixed income-like, cash flow-based investments.

Our invested assets, which are those which directly back our policyholder liabilities as well as surplus assets (as previously discussed in Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures), were $73.6 billion and $71.8 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. AAM manages, directly and indirectly, approximately $67.4 billion and AAME and affiliates sub-advises approximately $4.9 billion, which in the aggregate constitute the vast majority of our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2017, comprising a diversified portfolio of fixed maturity and other securities. Through our relationship with Apollo, AAM has identified unique investment opportunities for us. AAM’s knowledge of our funding structure and regulatory requirements allows it to design customized strategies and investments for our portfolio.

Our asset portfolio is managed within the limits and constraints 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 that vary based on ratings. In addition, our investment portfolio is constrained by its scenario-based capital ratio limit and its stressed liquidity limit.

Total investments, including related party	$	75,129	100.0	%	$	72,433	100.0	%

The increase in our total investments, including related parties, as of March 31, 2017 of $2.7 billion compared to December 31, 2016 was driven by unrealized gains on AFS securities including related parties, issuances of funding agreement backed notes, an increase in derivatives and reinvestment of earnings. Unrealized gains on investments were $516 million primarily attributed to credit spreads tightening during 2017. Derivative assets increased by $338 million primarily attributed to an increase in equity markets during 2017 as the S&P 500 index increased by 5.5%.

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 a small amount of 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 other 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 that employ various strategies including mortgage and real estate funds, credit funds, private equity funds and hedge funds. We currently target investments that are fixed-income-like or income producing and that have embedded downside protection. We also prefer investment funds that have a high degree of co-investment, have a stated maturity value or have reduced volatility versus pure equity. A majority of our investments in traditional private equity investments and hedge funds are a result of the acquisition of Aviva USA, which had existing private equity and hedge fund investment portfolios at the time of acquisition. We also acquired certain investment funds from AAA Investor (which are classified as private equity investments and consolidated VIEs) as a one-time capital contribution by our largest shareholder in advance of the Aviva USA acquisition. With respect to investment fund portfolios that we receive in these transactions, we actively reinvest these investments in our preferred credit-oriented strategies over time as we liquidate these holdings.

We hold derivatives for economic hedging purposes to reduce our exposure to the cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, equity market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and to a lesser extent, foreign exchange risk. Our primary use of derivative instruments relates to providing the income needed to fund the annual indexed credits on our FIA products. We use fixed indexed options primarily to economically hedge FIA 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.

67

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

With respect to derivative positions, we transact with highly rated counterparties, and do not expect the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations under the contracts. We generally use industry standard agreements and annexes with bilateral collateral provisions to further reduce counterparty credit exposure.

AFS Securities

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

AFS fixed maturity securities are carried at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value for our AFS portfolio, net of related DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization and the change in rider reserves, are charged or credited to other comprehensive income, net of tax. Declines in fair value that are other than temporary are recorded as realized losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income, net of any applicable non-credit component of the loss, which is recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income.

The distribution of our AFS securities, including related parties, by type is as follows:

The fair value of our total fixed maturity securities, including related parties, was $54.6 billion and $52.4 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase was driven by unrealized gains on AFS securities including related parties attributed to credit spreads tightening during 2017 and issuances of funding agreement backed notes.

The Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC is responsible for the credit quality assessment and valuation of securities owned by state regulated insurance companies. Insurance companies report ownership of securities to the SVO when such securities are eligible for filing on the relevant schedule of the NAIC Financial Statement Blank. The SVO conducts credit analysis on these securities for the purpose of assigning an NAIC designation and/or unit price. Typically, if a security has been rated by an NRSRO, the SVO utilizes that rating and assigns an NAIC designation based upon the following system:

NAIC designation	NRSRO equivalent rating
1	AAA/AA/A
2	BBB
3	BB
4	B
5	CCC
6	CC and lower

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The SVO’s loan-backed and structured securities (LBaSS) methodology is focused on determining the risk associated with the recovery of the amortized cost of each security. In contrast, the NRSRO ratings methodology is focused on the likelihood of recovery of all contractual payments, including principal at par regardless of entry price. The NRSRO rating assumes that the holder is the original purchaser at par whereas the modeled and non-modeled LBaSS ratings are focused on the recovery of current amortized cost. As the NAIC ratings methodology considers our investment and amortized cost, and the likelihood of recovery of that book value as opposed to the likelihood of default of the security, we view the NAIC ratings methodology as the most appropriate way to view our fixed maturity portfolio from a ratings perspective since a large portion of our holdings were purchased at a significant discount to par.

Specific to LBaSS, the SVO has developed a ratings process and provides instruction on both modeled and non-modeled LBaSS. The modeled LBaSS process is specific to the RMBS and CMBS asset classes. In order to establish ratings at the individual security level, the SVO obtains loan-level analysis of each RMBS and CMBS using a selected vendor’s proprietary financial model. The SVO ensures that the vendor has extensive internal quality-control processes in place and the SVO conducts its own quality-control checks of the selected vendor’s valuation process. The SVO has retained the services of Blackrock to model non-agency RMBS and CMBS owned by U.S. insurers for all years presented. Blackrock provides five prices (breakpoints), based on each U.S. insurer's statutory book value price, to utilize in determining the NAIC designation for each modeled LBaSS. For non-modeled LBaSS (ABS and CLOs) with the initial rating of NAIC 1 or NAIC 6, the rating remains the same through the life of the security. For non-modeled LBaSS with the initial rating of NAIC 2 through NAIC 5, the selected vendors are not utilized and the NAIC designations are set using a standardized table of breakpoints provided by the SVO for application to the insurer’s statutory book value price. The NAIC designation determines the associated level of RBC that an insurer is required to hold for modeled LBaSS owned by the insurer. In general, under both the modeled and non-modeled LBaSS processes, the larger the discount to par value, the stronger the NAIC rating the LBaSS will have.

A summary of our AFS fixed maturity securities, including related parties, by NAIC designation (with our German operations applying NRSRO ratings to map to NAIC ratings as noted above) is as follows:

1Securities denoted as non-rated by the NRSRO were classified as investment or non-investment grade according to the security's respective NAIC rating.

Consistent with the NAIC Process and Procedures Manual, an NRSRO rating was assigned based on the following criteria: (a) the equivalent S&P rating where the security is rated by one NRSRO; (b) the equivalent S&P rating of the lowest NRSRO when the security is rated by two NRSROs; and (c) the equivalent S&P rating of the second lowest NRSRO if the security is rated by three or more NRSROs. If the lowest two NRSRO ratings are equal, then such rating will be the assigned rating. NRSRO ratings available for the periods presented were S&P, Fitch, Moody's Investor Service (Moody's), DBRS, and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (KBRA).

The portion of our AFS fixed maturity portfolio that was considered below investment grade based on NRSRO ratings was 18.8% and 18.9% as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The primary driver of the difference in the percentage of securities considered below investment grade by NRSROs as compared to the securities considered below investment grade by the NAIC relates to the difference in ratings methodologies between the NRSRO and NAIC for RMBS due to investments acquired at a discount to par value, as discussed above.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the non-rated securities shown above were comprised of 40% and 43%, respectively, of corporate private placement securities for which we have not sought individual ratings from the NRSROs and 43% and 44%, respectively, of RMBS, many of which were acquired at a significant discount to par. We rely on internal analysis of credit risk and ratings assigned by the NAIC. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 91% and 92%, respectively, of the non-rated securities were designated NAIC 1 or 2.

Asset-backed Securities– We invest in ABS which are securitized by pools of assets such as consumer loans, student loans, insurance-linked securities, and corporate debt. These holdings were $3.3 billion and 3.0 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our ABS portfolio included approximately $3.0 billion (90% of the total) and $2.7 billion (91% of the total), respectively, of securities that are considered investment grade based on NAIC ratings, while approximately $2.8 billion (85% of the total) and $2.5 billion (85% of the total), respectively, of securities were considered investment grade based on NRSRO ratings.

Collateralized Loan Obligations– We also invest in CLOs which pay principal and interest from cash flows received from underlying corporate loans. These holdings were $5.3 billion and $5.1 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our CLO portfolio included approximately $4.3 billion (81% of the total) and $4.2 billion (83% of the total), respectively, of securities that are considered investment grade based on NAIC ratings while approximately $4.4 billion (83% of the total) and $4.2 billion (82% of the total), respectively, of securities were considered investment grade based on NRSRO ratings.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities– A portion of our fixed maturity AFS portfolio is invested in CMBS. CMBS are constructed from pools of commercial mortgages. These holdings were $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our CMBS portfolio included approximately $1.8 billion (97% of the total) and $1.8 billion (97% of the total), respectively, of securities that are considered investment grade based on NAIC ratings while approximately $1.1 billion (61% of the total) and $1.1 billion (60% of the total), respectively, of securities were considered investment grade based on NRSRO ratings.

Residential Mortgage-backed Securities– As part of our core investment strategy, a portion of our fixed maturity AFS portfolio is invested in RMBS. RMBS are securities constructed from pools of residential mortgages and backed by payments from those pools. Excluding limitations on access to lending and other extraordinary economic conditions, prepayments of principal on the underlying loans can be expected to accelerate with decreases in market interest rates and diminish with increases in interest rates. Our investments in RMBS are primarily non-agency RMBS having a significant focus on assets with attractive entry prices, which in general results in investment grade ratings by the NAIC given the likelihood that we ultimately receive principal and interest distributions in an amount at least equal to our cost. These holdings were $9.3 billion and $9.0 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

A summary of our AFS RMBS portfolio by NAIC and NRSRO quality ratings is as follows:

	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016

1Securities denoted as non-rated by the NRSRO were classified as investment or non-investment grade according to the security's respective NAIC rating.

A significant majority of our RMBS portfolio, 97.8% and 98.0% as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, was invested in assets considered investment grade by the NAIC, with a NAIC rating of 1 or 2. As NRSRO ratings are focused on the likelihood of recovery of all contractual payments including principal at par, instead of the recovery of the amortized cost, the portion considered investment grade by NRSRO rating agencies of 35.6% and 36.0% as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were lower than the NAIC ratings. As we focus on acquiring RMBS assets with attractive entry prices, some of these assets have experienced deterioration in credit quality since their issuance, the vast majority of which we purchased after the deterioration. Many of these securities were acquired at a discount to par value that resulted in a statutory book price that yields an investment grade NAIC rating. As a result of deterioration in credit quality since issuance, these securities are generally considered below investment grade based on NRSRO ratings methodologies. As a result, we have a significant difference in the number of securities considered below investment grade when evaluated under the NRSRO ratings methodologies when compared with the ratings evaluated under the NAIC ratings methodology.

Unrealized Losses

Our investments in fixed maturity securities, including related parties, are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. Certain of our fixed maturity securities, including related parties, have experienced declines in fair value that we consider temporary in nature. As of March 31, 2017, our fixed maturity securities, including related parties, had a fair value of $54.6 billion, which was approximately 2.6%above amortized cost of $53.2 billion. As of December 31, 2016, our fixed maturity securities, including related parties, had a fair value of $52.4 billion, which was approximately 1.8%above amortized cost of $51.5 billion. These investments are held to support our product liabilities and we currently have the intent and ability to hold these securities until sale or maturity, and believe the securities will recover the amortized cost basis prior to sale or maturity.

The following tables reflect the unrealized losses on the AFS fixed maturity portfolio, including related parties, by NAIC quality ratings:

The gross unrealized losses on AFS fixed maturity securities, including related parties, were $432 million and $636 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in unrealized losses was driven by credit spreads tightening during 2017 resulting in an increase in unrealized gains.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we held $3.8 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, in energy sector fixed maturity securities, or 7% of the total fixed maturity securities in both periods, including related parties for each period. The gross unrealized capital losses on these securities were $45 million and $73 million, or 10% and 11% of the total unrealized losses, respectively.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

For our OTTI policy and the identification of securities that could potentially have impairments, see Note 1 – Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 – Investmentsto the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded $1 million of OTTI losses, all of which related to ABS. Of the OTTI losses recognized during 2017, there were no OTTI losses related to the energy sector. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded $10 million of OTTI losses comprised of $5 million related to ABS, $3 million related to corporate fixed maturities and $2 million related to RMBS. Of the OTTI losses recognized during 2016, $3 million related to the energy sector. The annualized OTTI losses we have experienced for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, translate into 1 basis point and 6 basis points, respectively, of average invested assets.

International Exposure

A portion of our fixed maturity securities are invested in securities with international exposure. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 32% of the carrying value of our fixed maturity securities, including related parties was comprised of securities of issuers based outside of the United States and debt securities of foreign governments. These securities are either denominated in U.S. dollars or do not expose us to significant foreign currency risk as a result of foreign currency swap arrangements.

The following table presents our international exposure in our fixed maturity securities portfolio, including related parties, by country or region:

1As of each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no holdings in Portugal or Greece.

Approximately 89.1% and 89.7% of these securities are investment grade by NAIC designation as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, 9% of our fixed maturity securities, including related parties, were invested in CLOs of Cayman Islands issuers (for which underlying investments are largely loans to U.S. issuers), 6% were invested in securities of non-U.S. issuers by our German Group Companies and 17% were invested in other non-U.S. issuers.

Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain continue to represent credit risk as economic conditions in these countries continue to be volatile, especially within the financial and banking sectors. We had $783 million and $798 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, of exposure in these countries. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $228 million and $237 million, respectively, of exposure to sovereign issuers in Spain, Ireland and Italy as a result of investments acquired from the DLD acquisition in 2015.

The effects on our investments in non-U.S. securities as a result of Brexit is unknown at this time, but the effects of Brexit are likely to lead to greater volatility in global financial markets in the near term. As of March 31, 2017, we held United Kingdom and Channel Islands fixed maturity securities of $1.7 billion, or 3.0% of the total fixed maturities including related parties. As of March 31, 2017, these securities were in an unrealized gain position of $31 million. Our investment managers analyze each holding for credit risk by economic and other factors of each country and industry.

We invest a portion of our investment portfolio in mortgage loans, which are generally comprised of high quality commercial first lien and mezzanine real estate loans. Our mortgage loan holdings were $5.5 billion as of each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This included $1.5 billion of mezzanine mortgage loans for both periods. We have acquired mortgage loans through acquisitions and reinsurance arrangements, as well as through an active program to invest in new mortgage loans. We invest in mortgage loans on income producing properties including hotels, apartments, retail and office buildings, and other commercial and industrial properties. Loan-to-value ratios at the time of loan approval are generally 75% or less.

Our mortgage loans are primarily stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, and net of valuation allowances. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. Amortization of premiums and discounts is recorded using the effective interest method. Interest income, amortization of premiums and discounts, and prepayment fees are reported in net investment income.

It is our policy to cease to accrue interest on loans that are over 90 days delinquent. For loans less than 90 days delinquent, interest is accrued unless it is determined that the accrued interest is not collectible. If a loan becomes over 90 days delinquent, it is our general policy to initiate foreclosure proceedings unless a workout arrangement to bring the loan current is in place. As of March 31, 2017, we had $17 million of mortgage loans that were 90 days past due and $18 million in the process of foreclosure. As of December 31, 2016, we had $21 million of mortgage loans that were 90 days past due and $20 million in the process of foreclosure.

See Note 2 – Investmentsto the condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding valuation allowance for collection loss, impairments, loan-to-value, and debt service coverage.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had not recorded any new specific loan valuation allowances and we recorded no OTTI through net income. We have established a general and specific loan valuation allowance in the aggregate amount of $2 million as of each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, attributable to loans acquired in connection with the acquisition of Aviva USA.

Investment Funds and Variable Interest Entities

Our investment funds investment strategy primarily focuses on funds with core holdings of credit assets, real assets, real estate, preferred equity and income producing assets. Our investment strategy focuses on sourcing assets with the following characteristics: (1) investments that constitute a direct investment or an investment in a fund with a high degree of co-investment; (2) investments with debt-like characteristics, or alternatively, investments with reduced volatility when compared to pure equity; and (3) investments including some element of downside protection as compared to a pure directional investment. Our current investment funds and VIE holdings are significantly influenced by the contribution of certain investment funds from AAA Investor (AAA Contribution) as further described in Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and investment funds we acquired in the Aviva USA acquisition.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

At the time of the AAA Contribution, the contributed assets largely consisted of co-investments with Apollo private equity funds. However, the attributes of the contributed assets have changed significantly since the initial transaction primarily due to the initial public offering of two underlying fund investment holdings. As of March 31, 2017, the assets consisted of $275 millionof publicly-traded equity securities, a substantial portion of which is in the process of being liquidated. These public equity securities have resulted in volatility in our statement of income in recent periods. At the end of the third quarter of 2016, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) was distributed from CoInvest VI to NCL Athene, LLC (NCL LLC), whereby the investment is classified as an AFS security with any unrealized gains and losses recognized in AOCI, thereby reducing further volatility in our statement of income from this fund. See Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of NCL LLC.

Our investment funds generally meet the definition of a VIE, and in certain cases these investment funds are consolidated in our financial statements because we meet the criteria of the primary beneficiary. See Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our investment funds that meet the criteria for consolidation and the accounting treatment for them.

Overall, the total investment funds, including related parties and consolidated VIEs, were $2.6 billion and $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. See Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding how we account for our investment funds. Our investment fund portfolio is subject to a number of market related risks including interest rates and equity market risk. Interest rate risk represents the potential for changes in the investment fund's net asset values resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Equity market risk represents potential for changes in the investment fund's net asset values resulting from changes in equity markets or from other external factors which influence equity markets. We actively monitor our exposure to the risks inherent in these investments which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. The interest and equity market risks expose us to potential volatility in our earnings year-over-year related to these investment funds.

Funds Withheld at Interest

Funds withheld at interest represents a receivable for amounts contractually withheld by ceding companies in accordance with modco and funds withheld reinsurance agreements in which we act as the reinsurer. Generally, assets equal to statutory reserves are withheld and legally owned by the ceding company. As of March 31, 2017, the ceding companies holding the assets pursuant to such reinsurance agreements had a financial strength rating of A- or better.

The funds withheld at interest is comprised of the host contract and an embedded derivative. We are subject to the investment performance on the withheld assets with the total return directly impacting the host contract and the embedded derivative. Interest accrues at a risk free rate on the host receivable and is recorded as net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The change in the embedded derivative in our reinsurance agreements are similar to a total return swap on the income generated by the underlying assets held by the ceding companies and is recorded in investment related gains (losses). Although we do not directly control the underlying investments in the funds withheld at interest, in each instance the ceding company has hired AAM to manage the withheld assets in accordance with our investment guidelines.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we held $6.6 billion and $6.5 billion of funds withheld at interest receivables, respectively. Approximately 93.8% and 93.6% of the fixed maturity securities within the funds withheld at interest are investment grade by NAIC designation as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

We hold derivative instruments for economic hedging purposes to reduce our exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, equity market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign exchange risk. The types of derivatives we may use include interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and forward contracts, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, futures and fixed indexed options.

A presentation of our derivative instruments along with a discussion of the business strategy involved with our derivatives is included in Note 3 – Derivative Instrumentsto the condensed consolidated financial statements. This includes:

▪ a comprehensive description of the derivatives instruments as well as the strategies to manage risk;

▪ the notional amounts and estimated fair value by derivative instruments; and

▪ impacts on the condensed consolidated statement of net income.

As part of our risk management strategies, management continually evaluates our derivative instrument holdings and the effectiveness of such holdings in addressing risks identified in our operations.

1 Refer to Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures for the definition of invested assets.

Our total invested assets were $73.6 billion and $71.8 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, our total invested assets were mainly comprised of 46.3% of corporate securities, 31.4% of structured securities, 8.4% of mortgage loans and 4.7% of alternative investments. Corporate securities within our U.S. and Bermuda portfolio included $8.5 billion of private placements, which represented approximately 12% of our total U.S. and Bermuda invested assets. The increase in total invested assets as of March 31, 2017 from December 31, 2016 was primarily driven by issuances of funding agreement backed notes and reinvestment of earnings.

In managing our business we utilize invested assets as presented in the above table. Invested assets do not correspond to the total investments, including related parties, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, as discussed previously in Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures. Invested assets represent the investments that directly back our policyholder liabilities and surplus assets. We believe this view of our portfolio provides a view of the assets for which we have economic exposure. We adjust the presentation for funds withheld and modco transactions to include or exclude the underlying investments based upon the contractual transfer of economic exposure to such underlying investments. We also deconsolidate any VIEs in order to show the net investment in the funds, which therefore are included in the alternative investments line above.

The Germany investment portfolio composition differs from the U.S. and Bermuda portfolio primarily due to the geographic location, regulatory environment and participating nature of the German products and therefore the portfolio is managed separately from our U.S. and Bermuda portfolios. The German invested assets are predominantly invested in foreign government securities, corporate fixed income securities, real estate held for investment and assets backing our unit linked policies. The German invested assets are predominantly invested in Euro-denominated securities and investments.

Invested assets is utilized by management to evaluate our investment portfolio. Invested asset figures are used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Invested assets is also used in our risk management processes for asset purchases, product design and underwriting, stress scenarios, liquidity, and ALM.

Alternative investments were $3.5 billion and $3.4 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, representing 4.7% and 4.8% of our total invested assets portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Alternative investments do not correspond to the total investment funds, including related parties and VIEs, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As discussed above in the invested assets section, we adjust the GAAP presentation for funds withheld and modco and de-consolidate VIEs. We also include CLO equity tranche securities in alternative investments due to their underlying characteristics and equity-like features.

Two of our largest alternative investments are in asset originators, MidCap and A-A Mortgage, both of which, from time to time, provide us with access to assets for our investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2017, we held equity positions in MidCap of $528 million. MidCap is a leading originator of senior debt capital in the middle-market with expertise in asset-backed loans, leveraged loans, real estate loans, discount loans and venture loans. MidCap represents a unique investment in an origination platform made available to us through our relationship with Apollo. As of March 31, 2017, we held an equity position in A-A Mortgage of $449 million. A-A Mortgage has an indirect investment in AmeriHome, which originates RMLs and mortgage servicing rights.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of business operations or to rebalance our investment portfolio without incurring significant costs. Funding liquidity relates to the ability to fund operations. Balance sheet liquidity reflects the ability to liquidate or rebalance the company’s balance sheet without incurring significant costs from fees, bid-offer spreads, or market impact. We manage our liquidity position by matching projected cash demands with adequate sources of cash and other liquid assets. Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows and holdings of cash, cash equivalents and other readily marketable assets.

83

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our investment portfolio is structured to ensure a strong liquidity position over time in order to permit timely payment of policy and contract benefits without requiring asset sales at inopportune times or at depressed prices. In general, liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, highly rated corporate bonds, unaffiliated preferred stock and unaffiliated public common stock, all of which generally have liquid markets with a large number of buyers. The carrying value of these assets as of March 31, 2017 was approximately $45.6 billion. Although our investment portfolio does contain assets that are generally considered illiquid for liquidity monitoring purposes (primarily mortgage loans, policy loans, real estate, investment funds, and affiliated common stock), there is some ability to raise cash from these assets if needed. Along with these liquid assets, in periods of economic downturn we may maintain higher cash balances than required to manage our liquidity risk and to take advantage of market dislocations as they arise. We have an additional liquidity cushion through a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, which is undrawn as of the date hereof. In addition, through our membership in the FHLBDM and the FHLBI, we are eligible to borrow under variable rate short-term federal funds arrangements to provide additional liquidity.

We proactively manage our liquidity position to meet cash needs while minimizing adverse impacts on investment returns. We analyze our cash-flow liquidity over the upcoming 12 months under a variety of scenarios modeling potential demands on liquidity, taking into account the provisions of our policies and contracts in force, our cash flow position, and the volume of cash and readily marketable securities in our portfolio. By policy, we maintain sufficient liquidity not only to meet our cash-flow requirements over the succeeding 12-month period in a moderately severe scenario (for example, a recessionary environment), but also to have excess liquidity available to invest into potential investment opportunities created from market dislocations. We also monitor our liquidity profile under more severe scenarios.

We perform a number of stress tests and analyses to assess our ability to meet our cash flow requirements, as well as the ability of our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries to meet their collateral obligations. Among these analyses, we manage to the following ALM limits:

• our projected net cumulative cash flows, including both new business and target levels of new investments under a “plan scenario” and a “moderately severe scenario” event, are non-negative over a rolling 12-month horizon;

• we hold at least $250 million in cash and cash equivalents across the group; and at least $150 million in the aggregate in securities with the following characteristics:

▪ public corporate bonds rated A- or above;

▪ liquid ABS (defined as prime auto, auto floorplan, Tier 1 subprime auto, auto lease, prime credit cards, equipment lease or utility stranded assets) and RMBS with weighted average lives less than three years rated A- or above; or

▪ CMBS with weighted average lives less than three years rated AAA- or above;

• we maintain assets that can be liquidated in one quarter under normal market conditions equal to 25% of the policyholder obligations that are deemed to be most liquid, which is defined as policies with a cash surrender value, no income rider, no MVA, with lower than 5% surrender charge protection and lower than 3% minimum floor guarantee, if any; and

• we maintain sufficient capital and surplus at ALRe to meet collateral calls from modco and third-party reinsurance contracts under a substantial stress event, such as the failure of a major financial institution (Lehman event).

Insurance Subsidiaries' Liquidity

The primary cash flow sources for our insurance subsidiaries include retirement services product inflows (premiums), investment income, principal repayments on our investments, and net transfers from separate accounts and financial product deposits. Uses of cash include investment purchases, payments to policyholders for surrenders and withdrawals, policy acquisition costs, and general operating costs.

Our policyholder obligations are generally long-term in nature. However, one liquidity risk is an extraordinary level of early policyholder withdrawals. We include provisions within our annuity policies, such as surrender charges and MVAs, which are intended to protect us from early withdrawals. As of each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately 86% of our deferred annuity liabilities were subject to penalty upon surrender. In addition, as of each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately 73% of policies contained MVAs that also have the effect of limiting early withdrawals if interest rates increase.

Cash flows from operating activities

The primary cash inflows from operating activities include net investment income, annuity considerations and insurance premiums. The primary cash outflows from operating activities are comprised of benefit payments, interest credited to policyholders, operating expenses and tax expenses. Our operating activities generated cash flows totaling $429 million and $388 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily driven by the increase in net investment income reflecting an increase in our investment portfolio attributed to the strong growth in deposits over the prior twelve months.

Cash flows from investing activities

The primary cash inflows from investing activities are the sales, maturities and repayments of investments. The primary cash outflows from investing activities are the purchases and acquisitions of new investments. Our investing activities used cash flows totaling $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and provided cash flows totaling $115 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily attributed to the purchase of investments related to the increase in deposits over withdrawals and maturities and reinvestment of earnings.

Cash flows from financing activities

The primary cash inflows from financing activities are deposits on our investment-type policies, changes of cash collateral posted for derivative transactions, capital contributions and proceeds from borrowing activities. The primary cash outflows from financing activities are withdrawals on our investment-type policies, changes of cash collateral posted for derivative transactions and repayments from borrowing activities. Our financing activities provided cash flows totaling $813 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and used cash flows totaling $496 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change in cash provided from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily attributed to the increase in deposits over withdrawals and maturities and the favorable change in cash collateral posted for derivative transactions.

Holding Company Liquidity

AHL is a holding company whose primary liquidity needs include the cash-flow requirements of its insurance subsidiaries to support retail annuity sales, reinsurance transactions, acquisition opportunities and new investments, and interest payments. The primary source of AHL’s cash flow is dividends from its subsidiaries, which are expected to be adequate to fund cash flow requirements based on current estimates of future obligations. As of March 31, 2017, AHL had no financial leverage.

85

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The ability of AHL’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends is limited by applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions where the subsidiaries are domiciled, as well as agreements entered into with regulators. These laws and regulations require, among other things, the insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends these subsidiaries can pay.

Subject to these limitations, the U.S. insurance subsidiaries are permitted to pay ordinary dividends based on calculations specified under insurance laws of the relevant state of domicile, subject to prior notification to the appropriate regulatory agency. Any distributions above the amount permitted by statute in any twelve month period are considered to be extraordinary dividends, and the approval of the appropriate regulator is required prior to payment. In addition, dividends from U.S. insurance subsidiaries to AHL would result in a 30% withholding tax. AHL does not currently plan on having the U.S. subsidiaries pay any dividends to AHL. ALV and APK (the life insurance entities of our German Group Companies) are regulated by BaFin. ALV and APK are restricted as to the payment of dividends pursuant to calculations, which are based upon the analysis of current euro swap rates against existing policyholder guarantees. As of March 31, 2017, ALV and APK did not exceed this threshold and, therefore, no amounts are available for distribution to AHL. As a result, dividends from ALRe are projected to be the primary source of AHL’s liquidity.

Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, ALRe is prohibited from paying a dividend in an amount exceeding 25% of the prior year’s statutory capital and surplus, unless at least two members of ALRe’s board of directors and its principal representative in Bermuda sign and submit to the BMA an affidavit attesting that a dividend in excess of this amount would not cause ALRe to fail to meet its relevant margins. In certain instances, ALRe would also be required to provide prior notice to the BMA in advance of the payment of dividends. In the event that such an affidavit is submitted to the BMA in accordance with the Bermuda Insurance Act, and further subject to ALRe meeting its relevant margins, ALRe is permitted to distribute up to the sum of 100% of statutory surplus and an amount less than 15% of its total statutory capital. Distributions in excess of this amount require the approval of the BMA.

The maximum distribution permitted by law or contract is not necessarily indicative of an insurer’s actual ability to pay such distributions, which may be constrained by business and other considerations, such as imposition of withholding tax, the impact of such distributions on surplus, which could affect the insurer’s ratings or competitive position, the amount of premiums that can be written and the ability to pay future dividends or make other distributions. Further, state insurance laws and regulations require that the statutory surplus of our insurance subsidiaries following any dividend or distribution must be reasonable in relation to their outstanding liabilities and adequate for the insurance subsidiaries’ financial needs. Along with solvency regulations, another primary consideration in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength ratings from rating agencies, including S&P, A.M. Best and Fitch. Given recent economic events that have affected the insurance industry, both regulators and rating agencies could become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, including increasing capital requirements for insurance subsidiaries. AHL believes its insurance subsidiaries have sufficient statutory capital and surplus, combined with additional capital available to be provided by AHL, to meet this financial strength rating objective.

Other Sources of Funding

If needed, we may seek to secure additional funding at the holding company level by means other than dividends from subsidiaries such as by drawing on our undrawn $1.0 billion credit facility and by pursuing future issuances of debt or equity securities to third-party investors. However, such additional funding may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, depending on our financial condition or results of operations or prevailing market conditions. In addition, certain covenants in our credit facility prohibit us from incurring any debt not expressly permitted thereby, which may limit our ability to pursue future issuances of debt.

Membership in Federal Home Loan Bank

We are a member of the FHLBDM and the FHLBI. Membership in a FHLB requires the member to purchase FHLB common stock based on a percentage of the dollar amount of advances outstanding, subject to the investment being greater than or equal to a minimum level. We owned a total of $31 million and $40 million of FHLB common stock as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Through our membership in the FHLBDM and FHLBI, we are eligible to borrow under variable rate short-term federal funds arrangements to provide additional liquidity. The borrowings must be secured by eligible collateral such as mortgage loans, eligible CMBS or RMBS, government or agency securities and guaranteed loans. There were no outstanding borrowings under these arrangements as of March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

On August 11, 2016, we provided notice to the FHLBI that ALIC is withdrawing its membership thereto. The FHLBI confirmed receipt of our request on the following day. Pursuant to the FHLBI’s capital plan, ALIC’s membership will be withdrawn as of the fifth anniversary of the FHLBI’s receipt of our notice. Until such time that ALIC’s membership is withdrawn, ALIC continues to have all of the rights and obligations of being a member of the FHLBI, except that with respect to some or all of the FHLBI stock that ALIC owns, we will be entitled to a lower dividend amount, to the extent that the FHLBI declares a dividend. ALIC may continue to borrow from the FHLBI, provided that without the consent of the FHLBI, the transaction must mature or otherwise terminate prior to ALIC’s withdrawal of membership.

86

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In addition, we have issued funding agreements to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances. These funding agreements were issued in an investment spread strategy, consistent with other investment spread operations. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had an aggregate of $459 million and $691 million, respectively, of outstanding FHLB funding agreements. Refer to Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details of issued funding agreements and related collateral.

The maximum FHLB indebtedness by a member is determined by the amount of collateral pledged, and cannot exceed a specified percentage of the member's total statutory assets dependent on the internal credit rating assigned to the member by the FHLB. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total maximum borrowings under the FHLBDM facility were limited to $14.4 billion and $14.0 billion, respectively. However, our ability to borrow under the facility is constrained by the availability of assets that qualify as eligible collateral under the facility and by the Iowa Code requirement that we maintain funds equivalent to our legal reserve in certain permitted investments, from which we exclude pledged assets. We estimate that as of each of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had the ability to draw up to a total of approximately $4.2 billion and $4.5 billion, inclusive of borrowings then outstanding. Drawing such amounts would have an adverse impact on AAIA’s RBC ratio, which may further restrict our ability or willingness to draw up to our estimated capacity.

Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our U.S. insurance companies' TAC, as defined by the NAIC, was $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, and our ALRe statutory capital as defined by the BMA, was $6.1 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our U.S. RBC ratio was 478% and 552%, respectively, and our BSCR ratio was 228% and 323%, respectively, all above our internal targets. The change in our U.S. RBC as of December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by our investment of capital to organically grow our retail channel, which increased significantly during 2016. Each U.S. domestic insurance subsidiary’s state of domicile imposes minimum RBC requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of TAC to ACL. Our TAC was significantly in excess of all regulatory standards and above our internal targets as of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. ALRe adheres to BMA regulatory capital requirements to maintain statutory capital and surplus to meet the MMS and maintain minimum EBS capital and surplus to meet the ECR. Effective January 1, 2016, in connection with the implementation of its broader regulatory regime, the BMA integrated the EBS framework into the determination of BSCR. The European Commission has granted the BMA's regulatory regime for reinsurance, group solvency calculation and group supervision full equivalence to Solvency II. Under the EBS framework, ALRe's assets are recorded at market value and its insurance reserves are determined by reference to nine prescribed scenarios, with the scenario resulting in the highest reserve balance being ultimately required to be selected. The ALRe EBS capital and surplus was $4.4 billion resulting in a BSCR ratio of 228%, as of December 31, 2016. Although the calculation of the ECR was unchanged from prior year, the BSCR ratios for December 31, 2016 and 2015 are not comparable as the 2015 calculation applied to ALRe's statutory capital and the 2016 calculation now applies to the EBS capital and surplus. Consistent with the previous regime the MRC ratio to be considered solvent by the BMA is 100%. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, ALRe held the appropriate capital to adhere to these regulatory standards. In evaluating our capital position and the amount of capital needed to support our Retirement Services segment, we review our ALRe capital by applying the NAIC RBC factors. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our ALRe RBC ratio was 529% and 468%, respectively, both above our internal targets. Our German Group Companies adhere to the regulatory capital requirements set forth by BaFin. Our German Group Companies held the appropriate capital to adhere to these regulatory standards as of December 31, 2016. Effective January 1, 2016, our German Group Companies became subject to Solvency II MCR requirements interpreted by the relevant regulatory authorities. We believe that we enjoy a strong capital position in light of our risks and that we are well positioned to meet policyholder and other obligations. We also believe that our strong capital position, as well as operating with excess capital, provides us the opportunity to take advantage of market dislocations as they arise.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2017, there have been no significant changes to contractual obligations since December 31, 2016. See Part II—Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2016 Annual Report.

Other

In the normal course of business, we invest in various investment funds which are considered VIEs, and we consolidate a VIE when we are considered the primary beneficiary of the entity. For further discussion of our involvement with VIEs, see Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Amounts based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying business, and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Critical estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis based on historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that is reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will conform to estimates and assumptions and that reported results of operations will not be materially affected by the need to make future accounting adjustments to reflect periodic changes in these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting estimates are impacted significantly by our methods, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our significant accounting policies described in Note 1 – Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements of our 2016 Annual Report. The most critical accounting estimates and judgments include those used in determining:

• fair value of investments;

• impairment of investments and valuation allowances;

• future policy benefit reserves;

• derivatives valuation, including embedded derivatives;

• deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and value of business acquired;

• stock-based compensation;

• consolidation of VIEs; and

• valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.

The above critical accounting estimates and judgments are discussed in detail in Part II—Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2016 Annual Report.

See Note 1 – Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements for adoption of new and future accounting pronouncements.

88

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

We regularly analyze our exposure to market risks, which reflect potential losses in value due to credit and counterparty risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. As a result of that analysis, we have determined that we are primarily exposed to credit risk, interest rate risk and to a lesser extent, equity price risk. A description of our market risk exposures, including strategies used to manage our exposure to market risk, may be found under Part II—Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of the 2016 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures from the market risk exposures previously disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at attaining the level of reasonable assurance noted above.

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

89

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

We are subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including litigation principally relating to our FIA business. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all liabilities arising out of such claims. We are not engaged in any legal proceeding that we believe will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 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 the government in audits or investigations. We and each of our U.S. 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.

For a description of certain legal proceedings affecting us, refer to Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

The following should be read in conjunction with, and supplements and amends, the factors that may affect our business or operations described in Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2016 Annual Report. Other than as described in this Item 1A, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report.

Risks Relating to Our Business

The following updates and replaces the second and fourth paragraphs of the similarly named risk factor included in our 2016 Annual Report.

We rely significantly on third parties for investment services and certain other services related to our policies, and we may be held responsible for obligations that arise from the acts or omission of third parties under their respective agreements with us if they are deemed to have acted on our behalf.

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 their products 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 our personnel or 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. In addition, as a result of our acquisitions, we rely on TPAs to administer a portion of our annuity contracts, as well as a small amount of legacy life insurance business. We currently rely on these TPAs to administer a number of our policies. Some of our reinsurers also use TPAs to administer business reinsured to them by us. 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. 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, which could adversely affect our reputation and business prospects, as well as lead to potential regulatory actions or litigation. Our U.S. insurance subsidiaries have experienced increased service and administration complaints related to the conversion and administration of the Aviva USA life insurance policies reinsured to affiliates of Global Atlantic by the TPA retained by such Global Atlantic affiliates to provide services on such policies, as well as on certain annuity policies that were on Aviva USA’s life systems that were also converted to and are being administered by the same TPA. As a result of these increased complaints and service-related issues, our U.S. insurance subsidiaries may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, including fines and penalties, and policyholder litigation. Recently, the New York State Department of Financial Services notified us that it intends to undertake a market conduct examination of Athene Life Insurance Company of New York, the primary purpose of which is to review the treatment of policyholders subject to our reinsurance agreements with First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company, including the administration of such business by a TPA. Additionally, if any of our TPAs fails to perform in accordance with our standards, we may incur additional costs in connection with finding and retaining new TPAs, which may divert the time and attention of our senior management from our business.

90

Further, on April 6, 2016, the DOL issued a new regulation which imposes upon third parties who sell annuities within ERISA plans or to individual retirement account IRA holders a fiduciary duty to the retirement investor. For the year ended December 31, 2016, of our total deposits of $8.8 billion from our organic channels, 42% was associated with sales of FIAs to employee benefit plans and IRAs and 14% was associated with traditional fixed annuities sold to employee benefit plans and IRAs. The requirements of the regulation were scheduled to begin to be implemented on April 10, 2017, with full implementation on January 1, 2018; however, the DOL has published an amendment to the regulation that delays the applicability date for 60 days to allow the DOL to review the potential impact of the regulation on the ability of Americans to gain access to retirement information and financial advice in accordance with an executive memorandum signed by President Trump on February 3, 2017. In addition to delaying the applicability date of the DOL regulation, the DOL revised certain prohibited transaction exemptions, most notably allowing all annuity products, fixed, FIAs and variable annuities, to rely on an updated version of prohibited transaction class exemption 84-24 from June 9, 2017 through January 1, 2018, at which time full implementation of the DOL regulation is required. The DOL also opened a 45-day comment period, which closed on April 17, 2017, to collect responses to the questions raised in the executive memorandum. We anticipate a possible replacement of the regulation that is less burdensome but still requires sales to be in the best interest of clients. However, such a change is not guaranteed, and we continue to move forward in preparation for the delayed applicability date and full implementation on January 1, 2018, assuming the regulation remains unchanged.

Risks Relating to Insurance and Other Regulatory Matters

The following updates and replaces the specified paragraphs of the similarly named sections of the risk factor entitled “Changes in the laws and regulations governing the insurance industry or otherwise applicable to our business, including the DOL fiduciary regulation, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects” included in our 2016 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to other sections of such risk factor, which include: “Non-Bank SIFIs,” “FIAs,” “U.S. Consumer Protection Laws and Privacy and Data Security Regulation,” and “NAIC.”

U.S. Federal Oversight

The following updates and replaces the third paragraph of the “U.S. Federal Oversight” subsection included within the 2016 Annual Report:

On April 6, 2016, the DOL issued a new regulation more broadly defining the circumstances under which a person is considered to be a fiduciary by reason of giving investment advice or recommendations to an employee benefit plan or a plan’s participants or to IRA holders. In addition to releasing the investment advice regulation, the DOL: (1) issued a new prohibited transaction class exemption, referred to as BICE, to be used in connection with the sale of FIAs or variable annuities, and (2) updated the previously prohibited transaction class exemption 84-24, to be used in connection with the sale of traditional fixed rate annuities. The April 10, 2017 applicability date for the DOL regulation has been delayed to June 9, 2017, in response to a recent memorandum issued to the DOL by President Trump. In addition to delaying the applicability date of the DOL regulation, the DOL revised both exemptions, most notably allowing all annuity products, fixed, FIAs and variable annuities, to rely on an updated version of the prohibited transaction class exemption 84-24 from June 9, 2017 through January 1, 2018, at which time full implementation of the DOL regulation is required. For the year ended December 31, 2016, of Athene’s total deposits of approximately $8.8 billion from its organic channels, 42% was associated with sales of FIAs to employee benefit plans and IRAs and 14% was associated with traditional fixed annuities sold to employee benefit plans and IRAs. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact of the new regulation and exemptions, but the regulation and exemptions could alter the way our products and services are marketed and sold, particularly to purchasers of IRAs and individual retirement annuities. If implemented in its current form, the DOL regulation could have an adverse effect on our ability to write new business. The SEC also has indicated that it may propose rules creating a uniform standard of conduct applicable to broker-dealers and investment advisers, which, if adopted may affect the distribution of our products. Should the SEC rules, if adopted, not align with the finalized DOL regulations related to conflicts of interest in the provision of investment advice, the distribution of our products could be further complicated.

91

Regulation of Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) Derivatives

The following updates and replaces the third paragraph of the “Regulation of Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) Derivatives subsection included within the 2016 Annual Report:

The Dodd-Frank Act and the CFTC rules thereunder require us, in connection with certain swap transactions, to comply with mandatory clearing and on-facility trade execution requirements, and it is anticipated that the types of swaps subject to these requirements will be expanded over time. In addition, new regulations require us to comply with mandatory minimum margin requirements for uncleared swaps and, in some instances, uncleared security-based swaps. Uncleared swap variation margin regulations issued by U.S. bank prudential regulators, the CFTC and regulators in certain other jurisdictions, such as the European Union and Canada, generally took effect on March 1, 2017. These regulations require market participants to enter into agreements consistent with the requirements thereunder and a failure to do so could result in trading disruptions. Derivative clearing requirements and mandatory margin requirements could increase the cost of our risk mitigation and could have other implications. For example, increased margin requirements, combined with netting restrictions and restrictions on securities that qualify as eligible collateral, could reduce our liquidity and require increased holdings of cash and highly liquid securities with lower yields causing a reduction in income. In addition, the requirement that certain trades be centrally cleared through clearinghouses subjects us to documentation that is significantly more counterparty-favorable and may entitle counterparties to unilaterally change such terms as trading limits and the amount of margin required. The ability of any such counterparty to take such actions could create trading disruptions and liquidity concerns. Finally, the requirement that certain trades be centrally cleared through clearinghouses concentrates counterparty risk in both clearinghouses and clearing members. The failure of a clearinghouse could have a significant impact on the financial system. Even if a clearinghouse does not fail, large losses could force significant capital calls on clearinghouse members during a financial crisis, which could lead clearinghouse members to default. Because clearinghouses are still developing and the related bankruptcy process is untested, it is difficult to anticipate or identify all actual risks related to the default of a clearinghouse.

event shall the (i) Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Shares exceed the Investor’s Total Commitment and (ii) Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Class B-1 common shares exceed the Investor’s Total B-1 Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York or Bermuda are authorized or required by law to close.

(b)All Capital Calls shall be approved by a majority of the Executive Committee or the Board present at any duly convened meeting (or by a written consent signed by all of the members of the Executive Committee or the Board). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to manage the number of Capital Calls from the Investor in such a manner so that no more than three (3) Capital Calls are made during a particular calendar quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding such efforts, Capital Calls may occur as often as the Company deems necessary but shall be made only during the Commitment Period. All Capital Calls shall be made on a proportionate basis to all persons with outstanding capital commitments to the Company on the basis of all such remaining capital commitments; provided, that the Company may issue Capital Calls on a non-proportionate basis with respect to (i) any call for capital contributions made by the Company to any directors, officers or employees of the Company, Athene Holding Ltd., Apollo Global Management, LLC or Apollo Asset Management Europe LLP, or of any Subsidiary (as defined below) of any of the foregoing, pursuant to any Management Incentive Plan (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) Capital Calls in an aggregate amount per annum not to exceed 1% of the total remaining capital commitments of all such persons identified in clause (i).

(c)Each Capital Call for funding shall be accompanied by a Call Notice and shall specify in reasonable detail the purpose of the capital contributions to which such Capital Call relates and shall specify the number of Shares to be acquired by the Investor. The Investor shall not have the right to decline to purchase the Shares described in such Capital Call if such Capital Call has been made in accordance with this Agreement, except as provided in Section 3.5 hereof; provided, however, that the requirements of Section 3.1(f) are satisfied on the applicable Contribution Date.

(d)Each Call Notice shall set forth the date on which the purchase and sale of Shares shall take place pursuant to such Capital Call (the “Contribution Date”), which date shall be no earlier than the fifteenth (15^th) business day following the date of the Call Notice (unless the Investor has waived such fifteen (15) business-day period in writing or by funding such Capital Call as set forth in the Call Notice).

(e)If requested to do so prior to the designated Contribution Date with respect to a Capital Call, the Company shall delay the Contribution Date with respect to the Investor until the expiration or termination of governmentally imposed waiting periods and the obtaining of governmental approvals, if any, to allow the Company to make one or more required governmental filings or obtain one or more required governmental approvals and to allow the Investor that reasonably believes, based on the advice of counsel, that the Investor must make or obtain any such filings or approvals, to make and obtain such filings and approvals, in connection with such Capital Call (provided, that the Investor and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts

– 6 –

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

to take such actions, including executing and delivering such additional instruments, agreements or documents, that are determined to be necessary, reasonably requested, advisable or desired to make each such required governmental filing and seek each such required governmental approval as promptly as possible).

(f)On each Contribution Date and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(a), (i) the Investor shall acquire the number of Shares specified in the Call Notice and shall make payment therefor by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company or by such other payments as is mutually agreed to by the Investor and the Company and (ii) the Company shall update the Register of Shareholders to reflect such purchase of such Shares and, solely upon the written request of the Investor, the Company will deliver to the Investor a certificate representing the Shares that the Investor is purchasing, or has purchased, pursuant to such Capital Call.

(g)Subject to Section 9.3 hereof, the Investor shall have the right to transfer its Shares and its Remaining B-1 Commitment solely in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor, as applicable, shall have the right to transfer its Total Commitment for estate planning purposes to any corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or trust created for the benefit of the Investor or one or more of the Investor’s parents, spouse, siblings or descendants; provided, that the Investor must retain exclusive voting control over the transferred Total Commitment. Such a transfer shall be a “Permitted Transfer” as defined in the Shareholders Agreement. If the Investor transfers its Total Commitment in the manner described above prior to the delivery of the initial Call Notice to such Investor, the Company shall deliver the initial Call Notice to the transferee of such Investor in the manner described in Section 3.1(a).

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have the sole discretion and authority to take all actions necessary or required to reduce the Investor’s Total Commitment, other than with respect to the Initial Shares, to the extent such Total Commitment would create any adverse regulatory or tax consequences, including not receiving the Required Regulatory Approvals, for the Company or any shareholder or potential shareholder of the Company.

Section 3.2Commitment Period. The “Commitment Period” shall mean the time period commencing on the Closing and continuing until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Remaining B-1 Commitment of the Investor is zero and (ii) the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Subscription Closing.

Section 3.3Repurchase of Shares. To the extent that (i) the Company does not make any draws on capital during the Commitment Period, other than in connection with the purchase of the Initial Shares or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (each a “Subscription Termination”), the Company shall, within fifteen (15) business days after the occurrence of a Subscription Termination, repurchase all of the Investor’s Shares. The Company shall repurchase, and the Investor agrees to sell, the Shares in exchange for a payment to the Investor in an amount equal to (i) the amount paid for the Initial Shares, plus (ii) interest on such amount, determined from the Closing Date to the date of repurchase, at a rate equal to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), determined as of the Closing Date and reset each three-month period thereafter, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or any successor selected by the Company.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Section 3.4No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has not made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement and subject to all terms and conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) no statements, whether written or oral, made by the Investor or its representatives before, on or after the date hereof shall create an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (b) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by the Investor or its representatives and (c) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by the Investor and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. The Investor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement), and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement).

Section 3.5Default by Investor.

(a)An “Investor Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Investor or any of its permitted assigns (such Person, a “Defaulting Investor”) fails or refuses to make payment on the Contribution Date in respect of its complete portion of any Capital Call validly made, and (ii) such default has continued in whole or in part for not less than ten (10) business days after the receipt of written notice by the Defaulting Investor from the Company that a period of at least five (5) business days has elapsed since the Contribution Date and the Defaulting Investor has, as of the date of such notice, failed to fund its portion of such duly and validly authorized Capital Call.

(b)Upon an Investor Event of Default, the Company may, at its option, undertake any of the following: (i) institute suit against the Defaulting Investor for the Defaulting Investor’s defaulted portion of the Capital Call precipitating such Investor Event of Default, as well as (A) interest on past due amounts at a rate equal to the lesser of (I) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and (II) the Prime Rate (as determined by JP Morgan Chase Bank in New York, New York or any successor thereto) plus two percent (2%) per annum, until the defaulted portion of the Capital Call is received by the Company and (B) reasonable costs and expenses of the Company in connection with such Investor Event of Default, (ii) automatically remove and terminate, without the consent of the Defaulting Investor, the Defaulting Investor’s Preemptive Rights (if any), under Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement and/or (iii) require the Investor to forfeit a fraction of its funded interest in the Company equal to the lesser of (A) all Shares previously acquired by such Defaulting Investor under this Agreement and (B) one-third of such Defaulting Investor’s Total Shares (the “Defaulted Shares”). In addition, the Company may pursue any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or equity. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to implement clause (iii) of this Section 3.5(b) in a manner so as to avoid causing a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income

In this regard:

(a)The Investor acknowledges that, in order to comply with the provisions of the AEOI Regimes and avoid the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax, the Board may, from time to time and to the extent provided under the AEOI Regimes, (i) require further information and/or documentation from the Investor, which information and/or documentation may (A) include, but is not limited to, information and/or documentation relating to or concerning the Investor, the Investor’s direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), and any such Person’s identity, residence (or jurisdiction of formation) and income tax status, and (B) need to be certified by the Investor under penalties of perjury, and (ii) provide or disclose any such information and documentation to governmental agencies of the United States or other jurisdictions (including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)) and Persons from or through which the Company or any Company Subsidiary may receive payments or with which the Company or any Company Subsidiary may have an account (within the meaning of the AEOI Regimes).

(b)The Investor agrees that it shall provide such information and/or documentation concerning itself and its direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), as and when requested by the Board, as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary or advisable for the Company to comply with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including, but not limited to, in connection with the Company or any of its affiliates entering into or amending or modifying an “FFI Agreement,” as defined under the AEOI Regimes (each, an “FFI Agreement”), with the IRS and maintaining ongoing compliance with such agreement. The Investor should consult its tax advisors as to the type of information that may be required from the Investor under this Section 6.7.

(c)Consistent with the AEOI Regimes, the Investor agrees to waive any provision of law of any jurisdiction that would, absent a waiver, prevent the Company’s compliance with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including under any FFI Agreement, and hereby consents to the disclosure by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of any information regarding the Investor (including information regarding its direct and indirect beneficial owners, if any) as the Company or any Company Subsidiary determines is necessary or advisable to comply with the AEOI Regimes (including the terms of any FFI Agreement).

(d)Unless otherwise agreed by the Board, to the extent that the Company or any affiliate thereof suffers any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs on account of the Investor’s failure to timely provide and/or update the requested information and/or

documentation or waiver, as applicable (an “AEOI Compliance Failure”), (i) the Investor shall promptly pay upon demand by the Board to the Company or, at the Board’s direction, to the relevant affiliate, an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs, or (ii) the Board may reduce the amount of the next distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to the Investor or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, reduce the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to the Investor by an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs; provided, that (A) if the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds of liquidation is reduced, such amount shall include an amount to cover interest on the amount of such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs at the lesser of (1) the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the rate of interest announced publicly from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York, New York as such bank’s prime rate, and (2) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, and (B) should the Board elect to so reduce such distributions or proceeds, the Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Investor of its intention to do so. Whenever the Board makes any such reduction of the proceeds payable to the Investor pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, for all other purposes the Investor may be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such reduction. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Board in writing, the Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from and against any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs with respect to the Investor’s AEOI Compliance Failure.

(e)The Investor acknowledges that the Board (or the applicable affiliate of the Company) will determine in its sole discretion how to comply with the AEOI Regimes.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Right of first offer for assetmanagement mandates §   For as long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity, and subject to the other limitations set forth below, AGER/AAME shall offer Investor A a right of first offer for all sub-advisory asset management mandates under the IAA with respect to Approved Investment Classes (as defined below) (“Asset Management ROFO”). §   An “Approved Investment Class” shall mean investment-grade fixed income securities, asset classes that Apollo, AAM or AAME are not managing and any other asset class that AGER, AAME and Investor A may agree upon from time to time. §   Any engagement of Investor A is subject to Investor A providing competitive services and fees. Fees for any engagement must be approved by the Conflicts Committee. §   With respect to any asset management mandate to which the Asset Management ROFO applies, and for which Investor A has declined to provide services or is not selected to provide services, Investor A shall have the right to match the terms of the most competitive bidder for up to 50% of such asset management mandate, provided that the assets under management subject to such mandate are not less than EUR 200 million and the selection of Investor A for such asset management mandate shall be subject to the terms of the preceding paragraph. §   Best efforts to work with the ALV board to transfer any already existing Investment Grade mandates to an investment manager affiliate of Investor A within 6 months after the effective date of the agreement between AGER/AAME and Investor A. §AGER/AAME shall have the right to withdraw the mandate if Investor A’s performance is in the lowest quartile of a peer group (to be further defined) for more than 12 consecutive months and remediation measures did not succeed

However, AGER is free to speak to and pursue the Potential AGER Acquisition with a third party (including any Apollo Fund entity) or alone, if a combined approach is not pursued because: (i) Investor A has declined such opportunity affirmatively; or (ii) AGER and Investor A have not agreed on terms for the Potential AGER Acquisition within a reasonable period of time. §   In case AGER and Investor A agree to jointly approach a potential M&A target within the scope of the Preferred Transaction Involvement, AGER and Investor A agree to the following procedure: o Both AGER and Investor A shall value separately the part of the target business each party plans to acquire; the sum-of-parts of AGER’s valuation and Investor A’s valuation will then form the maximum total price to be offered for the target business o Investor A is not obliged to front any transaction for AGER. §   The Preferred Transaction Involvement will restrict Apollo from setting up or acquiring any alternative life insurance acquisition vehicle for transacting business in the member states of the European Union (including the U.K.) and Switzerland besides AGER and AHL; provided that Apollo shall remain free to (i) remain invested in Apollo’s existing insurance businesses as long as they do not compete with AGER, and (ii) acquire or invest in targets that do not pursue essentially the same business model as AGER by operating predominantly as run-off life and annuity insurance businesses. §   In case the combined approach will not be pursued by AGER and Investor A with respect to a Potential AGER Acquisition, both AGER and Investor A are free to speak to other potential partners or to bid alone. §   All discussions and negotiations shall be in good faith of a long-term partnership; it is the parties’ understanding that the commitments under the Preferred Transaction Involvement shall not be circumvented in any way, for instance by activities of related parties. §   Subject to the restrictions above, the Preferred Transaction Involvement will not limit or otherwise apply to Apollo. §Investor A shall be under no obligation to share, comment on, or provide any details regarding, any planned or potential acquisition or disposal by Investor A. Investor A shall at all times remain free to acquire or dispose ofany company without having to inform AGER or Apollo. However, in the good faith of a long-term partnership, Investor A will, at its own full discretion, reach out to AGER in case they intend to sell a company or block of business that may be of interest for AGER to acquire.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Right of first offer for mortality risk	§For as long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity, AGER shall offer Investor A a right of first offer for at least 40% of any mortality risk that AGER chooses to sell or reinsure to a third-party (“Mortality ROFO”) with the understanding that AGER will offer an equivalent right of first offer for the other 60% of any mortality risk to Investor B. §If Investor B declines the offered mortality risk, the Mortality ROFO for Investor A shall extend to 100% of AGER’s mortality risk to be sold or reinsured. §With respect to any mortality risk to which the Mortality ROFO applies, and which Investor A has declined to acquire or reinsure or which Investor A is not selected to acquire or reinsure, Investor A shall have the right to match the terms of the most competitive bidder for up to 50% of the mortality risk to which the Mortality ROFO applied (i.e. 50% of 40% = 20%, or 50% of 100%, as the case may be).
Exchange of knowledge	¤   As part of a long-term partnership, AGER and Investor A will cooperate closely by exchanging knowledge and ideas on life back-book management and identifying further areas of collaboration.
Exclusivity	§   AGER will not place more than 1% of the AGER Equity to any insurance company, other than Investor A, Investor B and AHL without prior alignment with Investor A. §   The Asset Management ROFO and the Preferred Transaction Involvement are granted exclusively to Investor A.

(a)Subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor hereby commits to purchase an aggregate number of Shares equal to the number set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Shares” at the Purchase Price, by payment for the Initial Share at the Closing plus such Capital Call amounts specified by the Company from time to time pursuant to Call Notices during the Commitment Period in respect of Future Shares; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Total Shares to be purchased by the Investor exceed the amount set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Commitment” (such amount, the Investor’s “Total Commitment”). The “Remaining Commitment” means, at any time, an amount equal to the Investor’s Total Commitment at such time reduced by the sum of: (i) the payment for the Initial Share paid by the Investor and (ii) the amount of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Investor in relation to the Capital Calls delivered by the Company to the Investor pursuant to and subject to the terms of this Section 3.1. During the Commitment Period, upon fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice from the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (each, a “Call Notice”), delivered after approval of the Board or the executive committee of the Board (the “Executive Committee”) for such Capital Call has been obtained (unless the Investor has waived such fifteen (15) business-day period in writing or by funding such Capital Call as set forth in the Call Notice), the Company may require (subject, in each case, to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement) the Investor to fund all or part of its Remaining Commitment as specified in such Call Notice (each, a “Capital Call”). The amount called from the Investor pursuant to a Capital Call may not exceed the Investor’s Remaining Commitment as of the date of the Call Notice to which such Capital Call relates, and in no event shall the Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Shares exceed the Investor’s Total Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York or Bermuda are authorized or required by law to close.

(b)All Capital Calls shall be approved by a majority of the Executive Committee or the Board present at any duly convened meeting (or by a written consent signed by all of the members of the Executive Committee or the Board). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to manage the number of Capital Calls from the Investor in such a manner so that no more than three (3) Capital Calls are made during a particular calendar quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding such efforts, Capital Calls may occur as often as the Company deems necessary but shall be made only during the Commitment Period. All Capital Calls shall be made on a proportionate basis to all persons with outstanding capital commitments to the Company on the basis of all such remaining capital commitments; provided, that the Company may issue Capital Calls on a non-proportionate basis with respect to (i) any call for capital contributions made by the Company to any directors, officers or employees of the Company, Athene Holding Ltd., Apollo Global Management, LLC or Apollo Asset Management Europe LLP, or of any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing, pursuant to any Management Incentive Plan (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) Capital Calls in an aggregate amount per annum not to exceed 1% of the total remaining capital commitments of all such persons identified in clause (i).

Section 3.2Commitment Period. The “Commitment Period” shall mean the time period commencing on the Closing and continuing until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Remaining Commitment of the Investor is zero and (ii) the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Subscription Closing.

To the extent that (i) the Company does not make any draws on capital during the Commitment Period, other than in connection with the purchase of the Initial Share or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (each a “Subscription Termination”), the Company shall, within fifteen (15) business days after the occurrence of a Subscription Termination, repurchase all of the Investor’s Shares. The Company shall repurchase, and the Investor agrees to sell, the Shares in exchange for a payment to the Investor in an amount equal to (i) the amount paid for the Initial Share, plus (ii) interest on such amount, determined from the Closing Date to the date of repurchase, at a rate equal to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), determined as of the Closing Date and reset each three-month period thereafter, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or any successor selected by the Company.

Section 3.4No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has not made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement and subject to all terms and conditions set forth herein.

The Investor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement), and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement).

Section 3.5Default by Investor.

(a)An “Investor Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Investor or any of its permitted assigns (such Person, a “Defaulting Investor”) fails or refuses to make payment on the Contribution Date in respect of its complete portion of any Capital Call validly made, and (ii) such default has continued in whole or in part for not less than ten (10) business days after the receipt of written notice by the Defaulting Investor from the Company that a period of at least five (5) business days has elapsed since the Contribution Date and the Defaulting Investor has, as of the date of such notice, failed to fund its portion of such duly and validly authorized Capital Call.

(b)Upon an Investor Event of Default, the Company may, at its option, undertake any of the following: (i) institute suit against the Defaulting Investor for the Defaulting Investor’s defaulted portion of the Capital Call precipitating such Investor Event of Default, as well as (A) interest on past due amounts at a rate equal to the lesser of (I) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and (II) the Prime Rate (as determined by JP Morgan Chase Bank in New York, New York or any successor thereto) plus two percent (2%) per annum, until the defaulted portion of the Capital Call is received by the Company and (B) reasonable costs and expenses of the Company in connection with such Investor Event of Default, (ii) automatically remove and terminate, without the consent of the Defaulting Investor, the Defaulting Investor’s Preemptive Rights (if any), under Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement and/or (iii) require the Investor to forfeit a fraction of its funded interest in the Company equal to the lesser of (A) all Shares previously acquired by such Defaulting Investor under this Agreement and (B) one-third of such Defaulting Investor’s Total Shares (the “Defaulted Shares”).

However, AGER is free to speak to and pursue the Potential AGER Acquisition with a third party (including any Apollo Fund entity) or alone, if a combined approach is not pursued because: (i) Investor A has declined such opportunity affirmatively; or (ii) AGER and Investor A have not agreed on terms for the Potential AGER Acquisition within a reasonable period of time. §   In case AGER and Investor A agree to jointly approach a potential M&A target within the scope of the Preferred Transaction Involvement, AGER and Investor A agree to the following procedure: o Both AGER and Investor A shall value separately the part of the target business each party plans to acquire; the sum-of-parts of AGER’s valuation and Investor A’s valuation will then form the maximum total price to be offered for the target business o Investor A is not obliged to front any transaction for AGER. §   The Preferred Transaction Involvement will restrict Apollo from setting up or acquiring any alternative life insurance acquisition vehicle for transacting business in the member states of the European Union (including the U.K.) and Switzerland besides AGER and AHL; provided that Apollo shall remain free to (i) remain invested in Apollo’s existing insurance businesses as long as they do not compete with AGER, and (ii) acquire or invest in targets that do not pursue essentially the same business model as AGER by operating predominantly as run-off life and annuity insurance businesses. §   In case the combined approach will not be pursued by AGER and Investor A with respect to a Potential AGER Acquisition, both AGER and Investor A are free to speak to other potential partners or to bid alone. §   All discussions and negotiations shall be in good faith of a long-term partnership; it is the parties’ understanding that the commitments under the Preferred Transaction Involvement shall not be circumvented in any way, for instance by activities of related parties. §   Subject to the restrictions above, the Preferred Transaction Involvement will not limit or otherwise apply to Apollo. §Investor A shall be under no obligation to share, comment on, or provide any details regarding, any planned or potential acquisition or disposal by Investor A. Investor A shall at all times remain free to acquire or dispose ofany company without having to inform AGER or Apollo. However, in the good faith of a long-term partnership, Investor A will, at its own full discretion, reach out to AGER in case they intend to sell a company or block of business that may be of interest for AGER to acquire.

(a)Subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor hereby commits to purchase an aggregate number of Shares equal to the number set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Shares” at the Purchase Price, by payment for the Initial Share at the Closing plus such Capital Call amounts specified by the Company from time to time pursuant to Call Notices during the Commitment Period in respect of Future Shares; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Total Shares to be purchased by the Investor exceed the amount set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Commitment” (such amount, the Investor’s “Total Commitment”). The “Remaining Commitment” means, at any time, an amount equal to the Investor’s Total Commitment at such time reduced by the sum of: (i) the payment for the Initial Share paid by the Investor and (ii) the amount of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Investor in relation to the Capital Calls delivered by the Company to the Investor pursuant to and subject to the terms of this Section 3.1. During the Commitment Period, upon fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice from the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (each, a “Call Notice”), delivered after approval of the Board or the executive committee of the Board (the “Executive Committee”) for such Capital Call has been obtained (unless the Investor has waived such fifteen (15) business-day period in writing or by funding such Capital Call as set forth in the Call Notice), the Company may require (subject, in each case, to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement) the Investor to fund all or part of its Remaining Commitment as specified in such Call Notice (each, a “Capital Call”). The amount called from the Investor pursuant to a Capital Call may not exceed the Investor’s Remaining Commitment as of the date of the Call Notice to which such Capital Call relates, and in no event shall the Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Shares exceed the Investor’s Total Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York or Bermuda are authorized or required by law to close.

(b)All Capital Calls shall be approved by a majority of the Executive Committee or the Board present at any duly convened meeting (or by a written consent signed by all of the members of the Executive Committee or the Board). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to manage the number of Capital Calls from the Investor in such a manner so that no more than three (3) Capital Calls are made during a particular calendar quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding such efforts, Capital Calls may occur as often as the Company deems necessary but shall be made only during the Commitment Period. All Capital Calls shall be made on a proportionate basis to all persons with outstanding capital commitments to the Company on the basis of all such remaining capital commitments; provided, that the Company may issue Capital Calls on a non-proportionate basis with respect to (i) any call for capital contributions made by the Company to any directors, officers or employees of the Company, Athene Holding Ltd., Apollo Global Management, LLC or Apollo Asset Management Europe LLP, or of any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing, pursuant to any Management Incentive Plan (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) Capital Calls in an aggregate amount per annum not to exceed 1% of the total remaining capital commitments of all such persons identified in clause (i).

The Investor shall not have the right to decline to purchase the Shares described in such Capital Call if such Capital Call has been made in accordance with this Agreement, except as provided in Section 3.5 hereof; provided, however, that the requirements of Section 3.1(f) are satisfied on the applicable Contribution Date.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have the sole discretion and authority to take all actions necessary or required to reduce the Investor’s Total Commitment to the extent such Total Commitment would create any adverse regulatory or tax consequences, including not receiving the Required Regulatory Approvals, for the Company or any shareholder or potential shareholder of the Company.

Section 3.2Commitment Period. The “Commitment Period” shall mean the time period commencing on the Closing and continuing until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Remaining Commitment of the Investor is zero and (ii) the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Subscription Closing.

Section 3.3Repurchase of Shares. To the extent that (i) the Company does not make any draws on capital during the Commitment Period, other than in connection with the purchase of the Initial Share or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (each a “Subscription Termination”), the Company shall, within fifteen (15) business days after the occurrence of a Subscription Termination, repurchase all of the Investor’s Shares. The Company shall repurchase, and the Investor agrees to sell, the Shares in exchange for a payment to the Investor in an amount equal to (i) the amount paid for the Initial Share, plus (ii) interest on such amount, determined from the Closing Date to the date of repurchase, at a rate equal to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), determined as of the Closing Date and reset each three-month period thereafter, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or any successor selected by the Company.

Section 3.4No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has not made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement and subject to all terms and conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) no statements, whether written or oral, made by the Investor or its representatives before, on or after the date hereof shall create an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (b) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by the Investor or its representatives and (c) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by the Investor and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. The Investor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement), and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance (other than with respect to the Total Commitment as set forth in this Agreement).

Section 3.5Default by Investor.

(a)An “Investor Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Investor or any of its permitted assigns (such Person, a “Defaulting Investor”) fails or refuses to make payment on the Contribution Date in respect of its complete portion of any Capital Call validly made, and (ii) such default has continued in whole or in part for not less than ten (10) business days after the receipt of written notice by the Defaulting Investor from the Company that a period of at least five (5) business days has elapsed since the Contribution Date and the Defaulting Investor has, as of the date of such notice, failed to fund its portion of such duly and validly authorized Capital Call.

(b)Upon an Investor Event of Default, the Company may, at its option, undertake any of the following: (i) institute suit against the Defaulting Investor for the Defaulting Investor’s defaulted portion of the Capital Call precipitating such Investor Event of Default, as well as (A) interest on past due amounts at a rate equal to the lesser of (I) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and (II) the Prime Rate (as determined by JP Morgan Chase Bank in New York, New York or any successor thereto) plus two percent (2%) per annum, until the defaulted portion of the Capital Call is received by the Company and (B) reasonable costs and expenses of the Company in connection with such Investor Event of Default, (ii) automatically remove and terminate, without the consent of the Defaulting Investor, the Defaulting Investor’s Preemptive Rights (if any), under Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement and/or (iii) require the Investor to forfeit a fraction of its funded interest in the Company equal to the lesser of (A) all Shares previously acquired by such Defaulting Investor under this Agreement and (B) one-third of such Defaulting Investor’s Total Shares (the “Defaulted Shares”).

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Right of first offer for assetmanagement mandates §   For as long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity, and subject to the other limitations set forth below, AGER/AAME shall offer Investor A a right of first offer for all sub-advisory asset management mandates under the IAA with respect to Approved Investment Classes (as defined below) (“Asset Management ROFO”). §   An “Approved Investment Class” shall mean investment-grade fixed income securities, asset classes that Apollo, AAM or AAME are not managing and any other asset class that AGER, AAME and Investor A may agree upon from time to time. §   Any engagement of Investor A is subject to Investor A providing competitive services and fees. Fees for any engagement must be approved by the Conflicts Committee. §   With respect to any asset management mandate to which the Asset Management ROFO applies, and for which Investor A has declined to provide services or is not selected to provide services, Investor A shall have the right to match the terms of the most competitive bidder for up to 50% of such asset management mandate, provided that the assets under management subject to such mandate are not less than EUR 200 million and the selection of Investor A for such asset management mandate shall be subject to the terms of the preceding paragraph. §   Best efforts to work with the ALV board to transfer any already existing Investment Grade mandates to an investment manager affiliate of Investor A within 6 months after the effective date of the agreement between AGER/AAME and Investor A. §AGER/AAME shall have the right to withdraw the mandate if Investor A’s performance is in the lowest quartile of a peer group (to be further defined) for more than 12 consecutive months and remediation measures did not succeed

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Preferred transactioninvolvement of Investor A §   AGER, Apollo and Investor A shall enter into an agreement governing the “Preferred Transaction Involvement” of the parties as described below, which will apply for so long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity. §   Investor A has an interest in the acquisition of property and casualty (“P&C”) businesses as well as P&C and life/health distribution, whereas AGER will primarily target life insurance books of businesses. §   The Preferred Transaction Involvement shall relate to acquisitions (whether of a company or a block of business) by AGER in the member states of the European Union (excluding the U.K.) and Switzerland (each a “Potential AGER Transaction”). §   Regular (at least quarterly) update meetings will be held with Investor A by AGER to share and discuss Potential AGER Acquisition opportunities with Investor A. §AGER shall inform and provide timely details to Investor A of any planned acquisitions that fall within the Preferred Transaction Involvement. §   In connection with any Potential AGER Acquisition, AGER will be precluded from partnering with a third party (including any Apollo Fund entity) unless AGER has provided Investor A with the exclusive opportunity to discuss, and to agree on terms for, partnering with AGER on the Potential AGER Acquisition. However, AGER is free to speak to and pursue the Potential AGER Acquisition with a third party (including any Apollo Fund entity) or alone, if a combined approach is not pursued because: (i) Investor A has declined such opportunity affirmatively; or (ii) AGER and Investor A have not agreed on terms for the Potential AGER Acquisition within a reasonable period of time. §   In case AGER and Investor A agree to jointly approach a potential M&A target within the scope of the Preferred Transaction Involvement, AGER and Investor A agree to the following procedure: o Both AGER and Investor A shall value separately the part of the target business each party plans to acquire; the sum-of-parts of AGER’s valuation and Investor A’s valuation will then form the maximum total price to be offered for the target business o Investor A is not obliged to front any transaction for AGER. §   The Preferred Transaction Involvement will restrict Apollo from setting up or acquiring any alternative life insurance acquisition vehicle for transacting business in the member states of the European Union (including the U.K.) and Switzerland besides AGER and AHL; provided that Apollo shall remain free to (i) remain invested in Apollo’s existing insurance businesses as long as they do not compete with AGER, and (ii) acquire or invest in targets that do not pursue essentially the same business model as AGER by operating predominantly as run-off life and annuity insurance businesses. §   In case the combined approach will not be pursued by AGER and Investor A with respect to a Potential AGER Acquisition, both AGER and Investor A are free to speak to other potential partners or to bid alone. §   All discussions and negotiations shall be in good faith of a long-term partnership; it is the parties’ understanding that the commitments under the Preferred Transaction Involvement shall not be circumvented in any way, for instance by activities of related parties. §   Subject to the restrictions above, the Preferred Transaction Involvement will not limit or otherwise apply to Apollo. §Investor A shall be under no obligation to share, comment on, or provide any details regarding, any planned or potential acquisition or disposal by Investor A. Investor A shall at all times remain free to acquire or dispose ofany company without having to inform AGER or Apollo. However, in the good faith of a long-term partnership, Investor A will, at its own full discretion, reach out to AGER in case they intend to sell a company or block of business that may be of interest for AGER to acquire.

AGER BERMUDA HOLDING LTD. – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Right of first offer for mortality risk	§For as long as Investor A holds 7.5% or more of the AGER Equity, AGER shall offer Investor A a right of first offer for at least 40% of any mortality risk that AGER chooses to sell or reinsure to a third-party (“Mortality ROFO”) with the understanding that AGER will offer an equivalent right of first offer for the other 60% of any mortality risk to Investor B. §If Investor B declines the offered mortality risk, the Mortality ROFO for Investor A shall extend to 100% of AGER’s mortality risk to be sold or reinsured. §With respect to any mortality risk to which the Mortality ROFO applies, and which Investor A has declined to acquire or reinsure or which Investor A is not selected to acquire or reinsure, Investor A shall have the right to match the terms of the most competitive bidder for up to 50% of the mortality risk to which the Mortality ROFO applied (i.e. 50% of 40% = 20%, or 50% of 100%, as the case may be).
Exchange of knowledge	¤   As part of a long-term partnership, AGER and Investor A will cooperate closely by exchanging knowledge and ideas on life back-book management and identifying further areas of collaboration.
Exclusivity	§   AGER will not place more than 1% of the AGER Equity to any insurance company, other than Investor A, Investor B and AHL without prior alignment with Investor A. §   The Asset Management ROFO and the Preferred Transaction Involvement are granted exclusively to Investor A.

(a)Subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor hereby commits to purchase an aggregate number of Shares equal to the number set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Shares” at the Purchase Price, by payment for the Initial Share at the Closing plus such Capital Call amounts specified by the Company from time to time pursuant to Call Notices during the Commitment Period in respect of Future Shares; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Total Shares to be purchased by the Investor exceed the amount set forth on Schedule A opposite the heading “Total Commitment” (such amount, the Investor’s “Total Commitment”). The “Remaining Commitment” means, at any time, an amount equal to the Investor’s Total Commitment at such time reduced by the sum of: (i) the payment for the Initial Share paid by the Investor and (ii) the amount of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Investor in relation to the Capital Calls delivered by the Company to the Investor pursuant to and subject to the terms of this Section 3.1. During the Commitment Period, upon fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice from the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (each, a “Call Notice”), delivered after approval of the Board or the executive committee of the Board (the “Executive Committee”) for such Capital Call has been obtained (unless the Investor has waived such fifteen (15) business-day period in writing or by funding such Capital Call as set forth in the Call Notice), the Company may require (subject, in each case, to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement) the Investor to fund all or part of its Remaining Commitment as specified in such Call Notice (each, a “Capital Call”). The amount called from the Investor pursuant to a Capital Call may not exceed the Investor’s Remaining Commitment as of the date of the Call Notice to which such Capital Call relates, and in no event shall the Investor’s aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Shares exceed the Investor’s Total Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York or Bermuda are authorized or required by law to close.

(b)All Capital Calls shall be approved by a majority of the Executive Committee or the Board present at any duly convened meeting (or by a written consent signed by all of the members of the Executive Committee or the Board). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to manage the number of Capital Calls from the Investor in such a manner so that no more than three (3) Capital Calls are made during a particular calendar quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding such efforts, Capital Calls may occur as often as the Company deems necessary but shall be made only during the Commitment Period. All Capital Calls shall be made on a proportionate basis to all persons with outstanding capital commitments to the Company on the basis of all such remaining capital commitments; provided, that the Company may issue Capital Calls on a non-proportionate basis with respect to (i) any call for capital contributions made by the Company to any directors, officers or employees of the Company, Athene Holding Ltd., Apollo Global Management, LLC or Apollo Asset Management Europe LLP, or of any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing, pursuant to any Management Incentive Plan (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) Capital Calls in an aggregate amount per annum not to exceed 1% of the total remaining capital commitments of all such persons identified in clause (i).

(b)Upon an Investor Event of Default, the Company may, at its option, undertake any of the following: (i) institute suit against the Defaulting Investor for the Defaulting Investor’s defaulted portion of the Capital Call precipitating such Investor Event of Default, as well as (A) interest on past due amounts at a rate equal to the lesser of (I) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and (II) the Prime Rate (as determined by JP Morgan Chase Bank in New York, New York or any successor thereto) plus two percent (2%) per annum, until the defaulted portion of the Capital Call is received by the Company and (B) reasonable costs and expenses of the Company in connection with such Investor Event of Default, (ii) automatically remove and terminate, without the consent of the Defaulting Investor, the Defaulting Investor’s Preemptive Rights (if any), under Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement and/or (iii) require the Investor to forfeit a fraction of its funded interest in the Company equal to the lesser of (A) all Shares previously acquired by such Defaulting Investor under this Agreement and (B) one-third of such Defaulting Investor’s Total Shares (the “Defaulted Shares”).

Investor A shall at all times remain free to acquire or dispose ofany company without having to inform AGER or Apollo.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with an investment by Procific (the “Investor”) in AGER Bermuda Holding Ltd., a Bermuda domiciled insurance holding company (the “Company”), and as an inducement for such investment by the Investor in the Company (the “Investment”), the Company has agreed to provide the Investor with this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”). The Investor is, contemporaneously herewith, subscribing for an interest in the Company in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Investor and the Company.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Subscription Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), as applicable. The Subscription Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Bye-laws are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree to the definitions above and as follows:

1.    Post-7 Year ROFR Waiver. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Shareholders Agreement to the contrary, the Company agrees not to exercise its right of first refusal rights under Section 2.2 of the Shareholders Agreement with respect to Transfers by the Investor following the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Initial Share Issuance Date otherwise made in accordance with the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement.

2.Limited Transfer Opinion. The Company agrees that, in the event the Board approves an Early Liquidity Transfer for the Investor or if the Investor wishes to carry out a Liquidity Transfer, (a) the Company will not request a legal opinion from the Investor’s counsel to the effect that the Transfer will not subject the Company or any member of the Class B Group or any of their Affiliates to additional regulatory requirements and (b) in the event the Company requests an opinion that such Transfer will not cause the Company to be required to register under the Investment Company Act, the Company shall provide such information as the Investor’s counsel may reasonably request in connection with the provision of such opinion.

3.No New Equity Securities.  The Company agrees that from the Closing until such time as the Investor’s Remaining Commitment under the Subscription Agreement is zero, the Company will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, (a) issue New Securities to any Person that is not a Shareholder of the Company or (b) enter into a subscription or other similar agreement requiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue New Securities to any Person that is not a Shareholder of the Company, except as contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, in each case except for New Securities issued by a Subsidiary of the Company solely to the Company or one or more Subsidiaries thereof.

4.Publication. None of the Company or any Director, or advisor, or any of the Company’s respective Affiliates shall use the name of the Investor (or the name of any of the Investor’s Affiliates or beneficial owners) or any derivative thereof in any press release, published notice, advertising or other publication referring to the Investor’s investment in the Company, without obtaining the Investor’s prior written consent.

5.Board Information. The Company agrees that any representative of the Investor that is also a member of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be permitted to share information and other materials that are distributed to the Directors with the Investor and the Investor acknowledges and agrees to hold all information so provided in confidence and trust in accordance with, and agrees to be bound by, the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 6.4 of the Subscription Agreement and Section 4.16 of the Shareholders Agreement with respect to any such information. In addition, the Company represents that, as of the date of the Subscription Closing, each Person (or their representative) that subscribed for more than 10% of the shares of the Company in connection with the 2017 Private Placement shall have the right to receive information and other materials that are distributed to the Directors.

6.Access to Management. The Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company to, afford the Investor, during normal business hours, reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice, to the officers and key employees of the Company and each such Subsidiary.

7.Information Disclosure; Required Regulatory Approvals.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents, but subject to paragraph 20 of this Letter Agreement, the Investor shall not be required to provide (i) information about the board of directors of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”), (ii) any financial statements of ADIA or (iii) such other information relating to ADIA’s finances and financial condition that ADIA (x) typically does not disclose consistent with past practice and (y) has not disclosed at any time in the five years preceding the date of such requested disclosure to any applicable regulatory entity in connection with an acquisition by the Investor, a Subsidiary of the Investor or an entity in which the Investor, directly or indirectly, owns a 10% or greater economic or voting interest, and failure to provide such information shall not be deemed to give rise to a violation of any provision of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section 2.1, 3.1, 5.8 or 6.3 of the

2

Subscription Agreement); provided, however, that the Investor shall be required to provide any information required to be provided under Article 4 or 5 of the Bye-laws (relating to the Investor’s and its Affiliates’ direct, indirect or constructive ownership of Shares and other information requested by the Company for purposes of determining voting rights or the applicability of the “controlled foreign corporation” or “related person insurance income” rules of the Code).

(b)The Company agrees that it shall only disclose Investor Confidential Information of the Investor pursuant to Section 6.4(g)(ii) of the Subscription Agreement to the extent the recipient of such Investor Confidential Information has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company requiring such information to be kept confidential, subject to customary exceptions.

(c)The Company agrees that nothing contained in Section 2.1, 3.1(e) or 6.3 of the Subscription Agreement shall require, or be deemed to require, the Investor to (i) use greater than its commercially reasonably efforts in seeking to obtain any Required Regulatory Approval or (ii) take any actions or provide any information in connection with obtaining a Required Regulatory Approval beyond the customary information required to be provided in connection with such approval.

(d)If, in connection with any regulatory approval required to be received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any acquisition, reinsurance, disposition, investment or other transaction (a “Company Transaction”) to be entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (x) the Investor fails to provide any Investor Required Information (as defined below) that it would otherwise be required to provide pursuant to a Transaction Document but for paragraph 7(a) or (c) and (y) the Investor fails to provide substitute information for such Investor Required Information that is acceptable to the applicable Governmental Authority or is necessary to complete the applicable submission to a Governmental Authority, as applicable, within twenty days of being notified by the Company that the Investor failed to deliver such Investor Required Information, and such failure was the principal reason that the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, failed to obtain the required regulatory approval (including if such failure by the Investor was the principal reason that a regulatory submission could not be completed) then an “Information Deficiency Event” with respect to such Company Transaction shall be deemed to have occurred. As used herein, the term “Investor Required Information” means any information relating to the Investor or any Affiliate thereof that is requested by a Governmental Authority, or by the Company in order for the Company or a Subsidiary thereof to complete a submission to a Governmental Authority, in connection with such Governmental Authority’s review of a Company Transaction.

(e)In all cases subject to paragraph 7(f), if an Information Deficiency Event occurs with respect to a Company Transaction:

3

(i)    the Company may reduce the number of “Total Shares” that the Investor is required to purchase pursuant to the Investor’s Third Party Investor Subscription Agreement, which such reduction may be up to a number of “Total Shares” designated by the Company that would restrict the Investor and its Affiliates from having a right to purchase Common Shares, or from owning Common Shares, that represent greater than (A) 9.9% of the Total Voting Power (as defined in the Bye-laws) or (B) 9.9% of the aggregate economic value of the outstanding Equity Securities (as defined in the Bye-laws); and/or

(ii)    at the Company’s election, the Investor shall be required to sell, and cause its Affiliates to sell, to the Company or its designee up to the number of Common Shares of the Investor and its Affiliates designated by the Company that would result in the Investor and its Affiliates collectively owning (inclusive of each Shareholder’s Commitment for purposes of this determination) no greater than both (A) 9.9% of the Total Voting Power and (B) 9.9% of the aggregate economic value of the outstanding Equity Securities, for a cash purchase price equal to 90% of the aggregate FMV (as defined below) of such Common Shares being so sold;

provided, however, the Company may not require the Investor or any Affiliate to sell any Common Shares pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence, unless (x) the Company has exercised its rights under clause (i) of this sentence to the maximum extent permitted thereby, and such exercise has not remedied the impairment entirely, or (y) the Company has determined that exercising its rights under clause (i) of this sentence would not remedy the impairment entirely. As used herein, the term “FMV” means, with respect to a Common Share, the fair market value of such Common Share as reasonably determined by the Company based upon the most recent quarterly valuation report that the Company delivered (or was required to deliver) pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i)(B) of the Shareholders Agreement.

(f)The Company shall not be permitted to exercise its rights under clause (ii) of paragraph 7(e) with respect to any Company Transaction unless, prior to such exercise, the Company has provided the Investor with at least 75 days for the Investor and its Affiliates to complete a sale to one or more third parties (which may not be the Investor or an Affiliate thereof, absent the Company’s consent), in accordance with the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement (if applicable thereto), of up to the number of Common Shares with respect to which such rights are being exercised. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Shareholders Agreement to the contrary, the Company agrees not to exercise its right of first refusal rights under Section 2.2 of the Shareholders Agreement with respect to any sale of Common Shares described in the immediately preceding sentence that is otherwise made in accordance with the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement.

(g)If requested by the Investor, the Company shall provide the Investor with reasonable assistance in identifying Persons that may be interested in purchasing Common Shares from the Investor and/or its Affiliates for purposes of completing a sale of Common Shares contemplated by paragraph 7(f).

4

8.Preemptive Rights – Debt Securities. In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries propose to offer any negotiable or tradeable bonds, debentures, promissory notes or other debt securities (“Debt Securities”), some or all of which will be purchased at issuance by Athene or any Subsidiary of Athene or any other member of the Apollo Group, then the Company agrees that, solely with respect to the Investor and its Pro Rata Amount, the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement shall apply to such Debt Securities and, notwithstanding anything contained in the Shareholders Agreement to the contrary, in regard to the Investor, the term New Securities shall be deemed to include such Debt Securities and the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Shareholders Agreement shall apply to such proposed offer of Debt Securities mutatis mutandis.

9.Distributions in Kind. The Company agrees not to make distributions in-kind to the Investor, other than securities of a publicly traded company and agrees to (a) grant the Investor an option to direct the Company to sell the in-kind distribution at the Investor’s expense and (b) provide ten (10) Business Days’ notice of any proposed in-kind distribution with an express right for the Investor to transfer the right to receive the distribution to an Affiliate.

10.Consent to Affiliate Transfer.Upon the consummation of any Permitted Transfer under clause (c) of the definition of “Permitted Transfer” under the Shareholders Agreement by the Investor of all or any portion of its Class A Common Shares to an Affiliate of the Investor, the Company agrees that the rights and benefits of this Letter Agreement (to the extent applicable to such Affiliate) shall extend to such Affiliate as if this Letter Agreement was addressed to it (other than paragraph 6, unless the Investor’s entire holdings shall have been transferred to such Affiliate).

11.Amendments. The Company agrees to deliver to the Investor any amendments to the Shareholders Agreement, the IAA (as defined in the Bye-Laws), the Cooperation Agreement (as defined in the Investor Memorandum Supplement), the Shared Services Agreement (as defined in the Investor Memorandum Supplement) and the organizational documents of the Company, in each case within ten (10) Business Days after any such amendment becomes effective.

12.Subscription Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that the Subscription Agreements executed and delivered by the other Shareholders subscribing for Class A Common Shares in connection with the 2017 Private Placement are, or shall be, substantially similar in all material respects to the Subscription Agreement executed and delivered by the Investor (except as to the amount of the commitments made thereby and the identifying information supplied by each Shareholder therein), other than the subscription agreements entered into with the Additional Investors.

13.Powers of Attorney. The Company agrees to deliver to the Investor copies of any documents executed by the Nominee on behalf of the Investor pursuant to the powers of attorney granted by the Investor under Section 2.5(c) of the Shareholders Agreement or by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company on behalf of the Investor pursuant to the powers

5

of attorney granted by the Investor under Section 2.8(f) of the Shareholders Agreement, in each case within ten (10) Business Days after the execution of any such document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Shareholders Agreement, a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.8(f) of the Shareholders Agreement shall be limited solely to the purpose for which it has been granted and is not intended to be a general grant of power to independently exercise discretionary judgment on the Investor’s behalf.

14.    No Guarantees; Debt Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Company agrees that neither the Investor nor its beneficial owner shall be required to give (a) any undertaking, representation, guarantee or warranty in connection to any borrowings by the Company, (b) any investor letter or financial statements or (c) except in connection with “know our customer” or similar identity due diligence, provide any other documents, in any case, for the benefit of any prospective or existing credit facility provider to the Company or any of its Affiliates or underwriter of securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise for the benefit of any creditor, potential creditor or underwriter (including any agent or advisor thereof).

15.Other Agreements. The Company hereby agrees to make available to the Investor, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, a summary of any preferential terms or rights granted to another subscriber for shares in the 2017 Private Placement (other than for Apollo, Athene and their respective Subsidiaries).

16.Business Days. Because Friday is not a business day in Abu Dhabi, for the purposes of determining “business days” in the Shareholders Agreement and Subscription Agreement, for any notice period less than ten (10) business days that includes a Friday, the Investor will be given an extra business day to comply with the provision to which such notice period relates.

17.Notice of Changes to Entity Classification. The Company is classified as an association taxable as a corporation pursuant to the business entity classification regulations issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under section 7701 of the Code. If the Company determines that it is in the best interest of the Company to effectuate a change in the entity classification of the Company for U.S. tax purposes (e.g., changing the Company’s entity classification from a corporation to a partnership for U.S. tax purposes), the Company shall provide the Investor at least 180 days prior written notice before effectuating such change.

18.Redomestications and Reorganizations. The Company agrees that, if under Section 2.8(e) of the Shareholders Agreement, the Board makes a determination that it is in the best interest of the Company to domesticate the Company to any European jurisdiction, the United States of America or any other foreign jurisdiction, or otherwise effect a Reorganization of the Company, in connection with an Approved Qualified Listing, the Board will in accordance with, and subject to, its fiduciary duties under applicable law and the Company’s Organizational Documents, consider any adverse tax or other consequences on the shareholders of the Company in making such determination; provided, that, this

6

sentence shall not preclude or otherwise limit the right of the Board to make such a determination even if it would have an adverse tax or other consequence on the Investor.

19.FATCA.

(a)The Company will at all times use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to avoid the application of U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA, or non-U.S. withholding tax under any applicable non-U.S. regime that is similar to FATCA, to payments received by it or any Company Subsidiary.

(b)The Investor represents to the Company that it is an exempt beneficial owner described in section 1471(f) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (an “Exempt Beneficial Owner”). The Investor agrees that it will provide the Company an executed IRS Form W-8 (or other appropriate form requested by the Company) indicating that it is an Exempt Beneficial Owner and further agrees to promptly provide a new IRS Form W-8 (or other appropriate form requested by the Company) confirming its status with respect to the information provided on its original form if such information changes or if an updated IRS Form W-8 (or other appropriate form requested by the Company) is required to be held on file in order for the Company to continue to recognize the Investor’s status as an Exempt Beneficial Owner. Based on such representation and agreement (and assuming that FATCA does not change in a manner that suggests a different outcome), the Company shall not withhold under FATCA on a payment made by it to the Investor.

20.Tax Information; AEOI.

(a)With respect to Section 2.10 of the Shareholders Agreement and Sections 5.8(g) and 6.7 of the Subscription Agreement (and any other provisions of the Shareholders Agreement or Subscription Agreement that may require the Investor to provide information in connection with the AEOI Regimes), the Company agrees that the Investor does not consent to the disclosure of information except to the extent that the Company reasonably determines that such disclosure is required by law in connection with the AEOI Regimes, and that to the extent that the Company reasonably determines that such disclosure is required by law in connection with the AEOI Regimes, prior to making such disclosure to a Person other than a Governmental Authority, the Company will notify the Investor and consult in good faith with the Investor regarding such requirement.

(b)The Investor represents to the Company that it is (i) an Exempt Beneficial Owner; (ii) an “Active NFFE” for purposes of the Agreement Between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Cayman Islands to Improve International Tax Compliance, signed on November 5, 2013, by reason of being an “NFFE” that is a government, a political subdivision of such government or a public body performing a function of such government or a political subdivision thereof, or an “Entity” wholly owned by one or more of the foregoing, for such purposes; and (iii) an “Active NFE” for purposes of the OECD’s Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters – Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”) by reason of being a “Governmental Entity,” or an “Entity” wholly owned by a

7

“Governmental Entity,” for such purposes.  Based on such representation, the Company confirms that nothing in Section 2.10 of the Shareholders Agreement or Sections 5.8(g) or 6.7 of the Subscription Agreement (and any other provisions of the Shareholders Agreement or Subscription Agreement that may require the Investor to provide information in connection with the AEOI Regimes) shall require the Investor to provide to the Company confidential non-public information relating to the Investor’s beneficial owners; provided that if the Company reasonably concludes in good faith based on written advice of internationally recognized tax advisers and after consultation with the Investor that such confidential non-public information is required in order for the Company or any of its Affiliates to comply with reporting requirements necessary to avoid suffering any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses and costs under the AEOI Regimes and the Investor refuses to provide such confidential non-public information, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to use any of the remedies described in Section 2.10 of the Shareholders Agreement or Section 6.7 of the Subscription Agreement as if the Investor had committed an AEOI Compliance Failure (after taking into account the revisions contemplated by paragraph 21 of this Letter Agreement).

21.Tax Indemnity. The Company agrees that with respect to Section 6.7(e) of the Subscription Agreement, the words “and other expenses and costs” shall be stricken in each place they appear.

22.Permitted Affiliate Transfers. The Company confirms that a Transfer of the Investor’s Shares to a Permitted Affiliate (as defined below) shall be considered a Permitted Transfer under the Transaction Documents, so long as no such Permitted Affiliate shall own directly or indirectly (including through a total return swap or other derivative arrangement) any interests in Apollo Global Management, LLC that are treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For purposes of this paragraph 22, “Permitted Affiliate” means (i) the Government of Abu Dhabi, or (ii) any newly formed entity organized outside of the United States that is wholly owned directly by the Government of Abu Dhabi and established in order to acquire the Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), Mubadala Development Company PJSC, the International Petroleum Investment Company and similar investment funds are not the Government of Abu Dhabi for purposes of this paragraph 22.

23.Qualified Listing. The Company agrees that it will not list the Company’s class B-1 common shares, or the Company’s class B-2 common shares, on any stock exchange or quotation system unless there has been a Qualified Listing of the Class A Common Shares.

24.Transactions Committee.

(a)For so long as the Procific Member is a member of the Transactions Committee, (i) the Company shall provide notice, or cause notice to be provided, of each meeting of the Transactions Committee to the Procific Member at least five days prior to such meeting and (ii) the Procific Member shall be permitted to attend each meeting of the

8

Transactions Committee by telephone conference call if such telephonic attendance complies with the Company’s operating guidelines.

(b)In connection with negotiating the terms by which the Additional Investor referred to as “Investor A” may participate in the Private Placement in accordance with the Subscription Agreement (including Exhibit E thereof), the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such Additional Investor’s agreement that the Director appointed to the Board by such Additional Investor will not be permitted to vote as a member of the Transactions Committee with respect to any transaction in which business is to be divested to such Additional Investor through the Preferred Transaction Involvement (as defined in Exhibit E of the Subscription Agreement).

25.Conflicts Committee. For so long as the Procific Member is a member of the Conflicts Committee, the Procific Member shall be permitted to attend each meeting of the Conflicts Committee by telephone conference call if such telephonic attendance complies with the Company’s operating guidelines.

26.Validity of Letter Agreement; Entire Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Letter Agreement and either the Shareholders Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Letter Agreement shall control. This Letter Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, and the documents referred to herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the Investor’s investment in the Company.

27.Termination. This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Shareholders Agreement or (b) the date on which the Investor no longer owns any Common Shares of the Company.

28.Governing Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.

29.    Registration Rights Agreement. In the event the Company conducts a listing of its capital stock on a stock exchange or quotation system in the United States, it shall, prior to such listing, enter into a customary registration rights agreement with the Investor.

30.Notices. Notwithstanding any provision in the Transaction Documents, any notices to be delivered to the Investor shall be made by means other than by mail and if any such notice is sent through a nationally recognized overnight courier, such notice shall be deemed to be received when actually delivered; and when sent by fax or email, shall be deemed received on the first AD Business Day following the date of deemed receipt in accordance with the relevant Transaction Document. The term “AD Business Day” means a day other than Friday, Saturday or other day on which commercial banks in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates are authorized or required by law to close.

31.Miscellaneous. This Letter Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, but which together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective

9

successors and assigns. The provisions of this Letter Agreement are severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. This Letter Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, and in furtherance of and without limiting Section 2.3(f) of the Shareholders Agreement in any respect, the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply, and Procific shall have no rights under this Section 2, in respect of (i) any Transfer of Shares by any Apollo Shareholder or Athene Shareholder to one or more of its Affiliates, (ii) any Permitted Transfer (without regard to the provisions of sub-clause (e) or (f) of the definition of “Permitted Transfer” to the extent relating to any Transfer by an Apollo Shareholder to an Athene Shareholder or by an Athene Shareholder to an Apollo Shareholder), (iii) any Qualified Transfer, which Qualified Transfer shall be governed pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1, or (iv) any Transfer of Shares by any Apollo Shareholder or Athene Shareholder principally arising out of, principally relating to, or principally in connection with, any regulatory, tax, operational, accounting and/or other similar considerations.

Section 3.    No Publicity; Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that it shall not make, and shall cause its Affiliates not to make, any public reference to (i) any other Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Letter Agreement or (ii) the terms and conditions contained herein, or the terms of any Party’s (direct or indirect) investment in AGER, including, without limitation, on any website or other media, except (x) as required by applicable law or regulation or listing rule (including in the event that APH IX, Athene, AGER or any of their respective Affiliates takes a voluntary action, such as pursuing an acquisition, divestiture, public offering or other financing transaction, conducting its business or starting a new line of business or expanding an existing line of business into new jurisdictions, the result of which is that such information is required to be disclosed by applicable law or regulation or listing rule, or in connection with the obtaining of regulatory approvals required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the 2017 Subscription Agreements), or (y) if it obtains the prior consent of the other Parties as to the substance of such disclosure; provided, that for purposes of the foregoing, (i) none of AGER, Athene or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Athene Asset Management LLC shall be considered an “Affiliate” of Apollo or APH IX, (ii) Athene Asset Management LLC shall not be considered an “Affiliate” of Athene and (iii) from and after the Closing Date (as defined in the 2017 Subscription Agreements), neither AGER nor any Subsidiary thereof shall be considered an “Affiliate” of Athene.

Section 4.    Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, this Letter Agreement shall automatically and permanently terminate and be of no further force and effect without any action by any Party upon any time when Procific and the Permitted Procific Transferees (as defined below) cease to beneficially hold any Common Shares of the Company;

3

provided, that the respective rights and obligations of the Parties under Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of this Letter Agreement shall survive any such termination.

Section 5.    Successors and Assigns. Except as set forth in Section 6., this Letter Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable benefit, claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.

Section 6.    Non-Recourse. Only the Parties shall have any liability or obligation under this Letter Agreement. Each Party agrees that any claim or proceeding arising out of or relating to any breach or violation of, or non-compliance with, this Letter Agreement by any other Party shall be brought by such Party against, or any remedy or recovery in connection therewith may be obtained from, such other Party only, and each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to bring any such claim or proceeding against, or obtain any such remedy or recovery from, any other Person. For the avoidance of doubt, APH IX and Athene shall cause each Apollo Shareholder and Athene Shareholder, respectively, to the extent such Apollo Shareholder or Athene Shareholder is a controlled Affiliate thereof, to carry out the actions required to be performed by such Apollo Shareholder or Athene Shareholder, as applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with this Letter Agreement.

Section 7.    Assignment; Transfers to Affiliates. If Procific transfers all or a portion of its Shares to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”), or to any Affiliate of Procific that is controlled by ADIA (ADIA or any such Affiliate, a “Permitted Procific Transferee”), pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Shareholders Agreement, such transferee shall be entitled to the rights granted under this Letter Agreement and references to Procific herein shall be deemed to include such transferee; provided, that (i) such transfer does not adversely affect, in any material respect, APH IX, Athene, AGER or any of their respective Affiliates or security holders from a tax or regulatory perspective and (ii) such Permitted Procific Transferee, as a condition to such transfer, executes a joinder to this Letter Agreement agreeing to be bound by the provisions hereof. Except as specifically permitted pursuant to this Section 7, Procific may not assign any of its rights or assign or delegate any of its obligations under this Letter Agreement without the prior written consent of APH IX and Athene.

Section 8.    Amendment; Waiver. This Letter Agreement may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties. To be effective, any waiver of any provision of this Letter Agreement requested by any Party must be granted in writing by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

Section 9.    Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Letter Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Letter Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or is otherwise reasonably determined by APH IX or Athene (based on the advice of counsel) to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be ineffective, null and void and all actions previously taken pursuant to such provision shall be rescinded, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Letter Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more

4

narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Letter Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Bermuda law, without giving effect to any law or rule that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda to be applied.

(b)ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT AND ENFORCED IN THE COURTS OF BERMUDA, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE COURTS OF BERMUDA AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN ANY INCONVENIENT FORUM. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENTERED IN AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF.

(c)EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.    Letter Agreement Controls. This Letter Agreement supplements the Shareholders Agreement as among Procific, APH IX and Athene, and the terms of this Letter Agreement shall control with respect to Procific in the event any conflict exists between this Letter Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement.

Section 12.    Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Letter Agreement in one or more counterparts (which may be delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission), each of which constitutes an original copy of this Letter Agreement and all of which, collectively, constitute only one agreement. The signatures of all the Parties need not appear on the same counterpart.

Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Athene Holding Ltd. (AHL), a Bermuda exempted company, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, Athene, we, our, us, or the Company), is a leading retirement services company that issues, reinsures and acquires retirement savings products in all U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Germany.

We conduct business primarily through the following consolidated subsidiaries:

• Athene Life Re Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company to which AHL's other insurance subsidiaries and third party ceding companies directly and indirectly reinsure a portion of their liabilities (ALRe);

• Athene USA Corporation, an Iowa corporation and its subsidiaries (Athene USA); and

• Athene Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, a German partnership and its subsidiaries (ADKG).

In addition, we consolidate certain variable interest entities (VIEs), for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary, as discussed in Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities.

Basis of Presentation—We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair statement of the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates. Actual results may differ from estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Policy and Revisions—Subsequent to the original issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, we adopted a change in accounting principle regarding the balance sheet presentation of assets and liabilities associated with reinsurance agreements written on a modified coinsurance (modco) basis. The funds withheld assets and liabilities arising from modco contracts are presented gross of the corresponding policy benefit liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, whereas these assets and liabilities were previously presented net on a contract-by-contract basis. We also applied this change retrospectively to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016, for the corresponding balance sheet classification changes within operating activities. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, or equity resulting from this change.

We have also revised our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as a result of correcting immaterial misstatements. We assessed the materiality of these revisions and concluded these revisions are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole. However, we elected to revise the condensed consolidated financial statements to increase their accuracy, as well as provide consistency and comparability with balances and activities to be reported in future periods.

The following is a summary of the impacts of the revisions on the condensed consolidated statements of income:

	Three months ended March 31, 2016

We revised the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 for the changes to net income and other comprehensive income presented above, and an adjustment of $1 million to retirement of shares.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASU 2017-08)

The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. These amendments are required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and we have elected to early adopt effective January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation – Interest Held through Related Parties under Common Control (ASU 2016-17)

This update amends the consolidation guidance to change how indirect interests in VIEs are evaluated by a reporting entity when determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the reporting entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and, therefore, consolidates the VIE. A reporting entity has an indirect interest in a VIE if it has a direct interest in a related party that, in turn, has a direct interest in the VIE. Previously, if a single decision maker and its related parties were under common control, the single decision maker was required to consider indirect interests held through related parties to be the equivalent of direct interests in their entirety. The amendments change the evaluation of indirect interests to be considered on a proportionate basis. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09)

This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. We have elected to account for forfeitures when they occur. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASU 2016-07)

This update eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment upon it qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging – Contingent Put and Call Options (ASU 2016-06)

This update is intended to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to debt hosts. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging – Effects of Derivative Contract Novation (ASU 2016-05)

This update is intended to clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require a de-designation of that hedging relationship provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (ASU 2017-05)

The amendments in this update clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. We will be required to adopt this standard on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04)

The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the comparison of the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill to determine the goodwill impairment loss. With the adoption of this guidance, a goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. We will be required to adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)

The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of assisting entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition (ASU 2016-20, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2014-09)

ASU 2014-09 indicates an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14 provided for a one-year deferral of the effective date, which will require us to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2016-08 amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 clarifies the identification of performance obligations as well as licensing implementation guidance. ASU 2016-11 brings existing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance into conformity with revenue recognition accounting guidance of ASU 2014-09 discussed above. ASU 2016-12 provides clarification on assessing collectability, presentation of sales tax, non-cash consideration and transition. ASU 2016-20 addresses necessary technical corrections and improvements to clarify codification amended by ASU 2014-09 within Topic 606. The revenue recognition updates replace all general and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance, excluding insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments and guarantees, which have been scoped out of the update. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue on contracts accounted for under the financial instruments or insurance contracts standards, only a portion of our revenues are impacted by this guidance. Our evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying contracts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing and documenting our accounting for these contracts, identifying and determining the accounting for any related contract costs and assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18)

This update requires amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this standard retrospectively for each period presented effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update will require us to change the presentation on the consolidated statements of cash flows for restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents; however, we do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes – Intra-Entity Transfers (ASU 2016-16)

This update requires the immediate recognition of current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets, other than inventory. Currently, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. We will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15)

This update provides specific guidance to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The update also clarifies the application of the predominance principle when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13)

This update is designed to reduce complexity by limiting the number of credit impairment models used for different assets. The model will result in accelerated credit loss recognition on assets held at amortized cost, which includes our commercial and residential mortgage investments. The identification of credit-deteriorated securities will include all assets that have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit since origination. Additionally, any changes in the expected cash flows of credit-deteriorated securities will be recognized immediately in the income statement. Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities are not in scope of the new credit loss model, but will undergo targeted improvements to the current reporting model including the establishment of a valuation allowance for credit losses versus the current direct write down approach. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases (ASU 2016-02)

This update is intended to increase transparency and comparability for lease transactions. A lessee is required to recognize an asset and a liability for all lease arrangements longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. We will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Our implementation efforts are primarily focused on the review of existing lease contracts and assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (ASU 2016-01)

This update retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. We currently recognize changes in fair value related to available-for-sale (AFS) equity securities in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the consolidated balance sheets. We will be required to adopt this standard with a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings effective January 1, 2018. Refer to Note 2 – Investments for further information on the unrealized gains and losses of our AFS equity securities.

Available-for-sale Securities—Our AFS investment portfolio includes bonds, collateralized loan obligations (CLO), asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), redeemable preferred stock, and equity securities. Additionally, it includes direct investments in affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (AGM and, together with its subsidiaries, Apollo) where Apollo can exercise significant influence over the affiliates. These investments are presented as investments in related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are separately disclosed below.

The following table represents the cost or amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value and other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI) in AOCI of our AFS investments by asset type:

As of March 31, 2017, we held 1,727 AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position. Of this total, 522 were in an unrealized loss position longer than 12 months. As of March 31, 2017, we held eight related party AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position. Of this total, five were in an unrealized loss position longer than 12 months. The unrealized losses on AFS securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates since acquisition. We did not recognize the unrealized losses in income as we intend to hold these securities and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments—For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $1 million of net OTTI which related to credit loss impairments that we impaired to fair value and did not bifurcate a portion of the impairment in AOCI. Any credit loss impairments not bifurcated in AOCI are excluded from the rollforward below.

The following table represents a rollforward of the cumulative amounts recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of income for OTTI related to pre-tax credit loss impairments on AFS fixed maturity securities, for which a portion of the securities' total OTTI was recognized in AOCI:

	Three months ended March 31,

Proceeds from sales of AFS securities were $1,531 million and $1,015 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Included in net realized investment gains (losses) on trading securities are gains of $26 million and $36 million resulting from the change in unrealized gains or losses for the underlying securities we still held as of March 31, 2017and2016, respectively. Also included in net realized investment gains (losses) on trading securities are related party losses of $12 million and $13 million resulting from the change in unrealized gains or losses for the underlying securities we still held as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Total commercial mortgage loans	4,979		5,132
Residential mortgage loans	474		338
Mortgage loans, net of allowances	$	5,453	$	5,470

We primarily invest in commercial mortgage loans on income producing properties including hotels, industrial properties and retail and office buildings. We diversify the commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce concentration risk. We evaluate mortgage loans based on relevant current information to confirm if properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the related debt.

The distribution of commercial mortgage loans, including those under development, net of valuation allowances, by property type and geographic region, is as follows:

	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016

Our residential mortgage loan portfolio includes first lien residential mortgage loans, collateralized by properties located in the U.S. As of March 31, 2017, California, Florida and New York represented 32.7%, 12.1% and 6.6%, respectively, of the portfolio. The remaining 48.6% represented all other states, with each individual state comprising less than 5% of the portfolio. As of December 31, 2016, California, Florida and New York represented 38.9%, 9.1% and 5.1%, respectively, of the portfolio, and the remaining 46.9% represented all other states, with each individual state comprising less than 5% of the portfolio.

Mortgage Loan Valuation Allowance—The assessment of mortgage loan impairments and valuation allowances is substantially the same for residential and commercial mortgage loans. The valuation allowance was $2 million as of March 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016. We did not record any material impairments or significant activity in the valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2017or2016.

Residential mortgage loans – The primary credit quality indicator of residential mortgage loans is loan performance. Nonperforming residential mortgage loans are 90 days or more past due and/or are in non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2017, $3 million of our residential mortgage loans were non-performing. As of December 31, 2016, all of our residential mortgage loans were performing.

Commercial mortgage loans – The following provides the aging of our commercial mortgage loan portfolio, including those under development, net of valuation allowances:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Current (less than 30 days past due)	$	4,962	$	5,111
Over 90 days past due	17		21
Total commercial mortgage loans	$	4,979	$	5,132

Loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios are measures we use to assess the risk and quality of commercial mortgage loans other than those under development. Loans under development are not evaluated using these ratios as the properties underlying these loans are generally not yet income-producing and the value of the underlying property significantly fluctuates based on the progress of construction. Therefore, the risk and quality of loans under development are evaluated based on the aging and geographical distribution of such loans as shown above.

The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A loan-to-value ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The following represents the loan-to-value ratio of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, excluding those under development, net of valuation allowances:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Less than 50%	$	1,698	$	1,787
50% to 60%	1,333		1,337
61% to 70%	1,379		1,401
71% to 100%	461		492
Greater than 100%	34		41
Commercial mortgage loans	$	4,905	$	5,058

The debt service coverage ratio, based upon the most recent financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of a property's net income to its debt service payments. A debt service ratio of less than 1.0 indicates a property's operations do not generate enough income to cover debt payments. The following represents the debt service coverage ratio of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, excluding those under development, net of valuation allowances:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Greater than 1.20x	$	4,345	$	4,378
1.00x – 1.20x	246		353
Less than 1.00x	314		327
Commercial mortgage loans	$	4,905	$	5,058

Derivatives Designated as Hedges

Foreign currency swaps–We use foreign currency swaps to convert foreign currency denominated cash flows of an investment to U.S. dollars to reduce cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. Certain of these swaps are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, which will expire by June 2043. During thethree months ended March 31, 2017and2016, we had foreign currency swap losses of $5 million and $10 million, respectively, recorded in AOCI. There were no amounts reclassified to income and no amounts deemed ineffective for the three months ended March 31, 2017and2016. As of March 31, 2017, no amounts are expected to be reclassified to income within the next 12 months.

Interest rate swaps – We use interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from interest rate changes and to alter interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. Certain of these swaps entered into during the fourth quarter of 2016 are designated as fair value hedges. With an interest rate swap, we agree with another party to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts tied to an agreed-upon notional principal amount at specified intervals.

The following table represents the gains and losses on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedge relationships, recorded in interest sensitive contract benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of income:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Equity options – We use equity indexed options to economically hedge fixed indexed annuity products that guarantee the return of principal to the policyholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specified market index, primarily the S&P 500. To hedge against adverse changes in equity indices, we enter into contracts to buy the equity indexed options within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts are net settled in cash based on differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price.

Futures –Futures contracts are purchased to hedge the growth in interest credited to the customer as a direct result of increases in the related indices. We enter into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission clearing brokers who are members of a trading exchange. Under exchange-traded futures contracts, we agree to purchase a specified number of contracts with other parties and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily fair values of those contracts.

Total return swaps – We purchase total rate of return swaps to gain exposure and benefit from a reference asset without ownership. Total rate of return swaps are contracts in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of the underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains.

Credit default swaps – Credit default swaps provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer or allow us to gain credit exposure to an issuer or traded index. We use credit default swaps coupled with a bond to synthetically create the characteristics of a reference bond. These transactions have a lower cost and are generally more liquid relative to the cash market. We receive a periodic premium for these transactions as compensation for accepting credit risk.

Hedging credit risk involves buying protection for existing credit risk. The exposure resulting from the agreements, which is usually the notional amount, is equal to the maximum proceeds that must be paid by a counterparty for a defaulted security. If a credit event occurs on a reference entity, then a counterparty who sold protection is required to pay the buyer the trade notional amount less any recovery value of the security.

Foreign currency forwards – We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain exposures to foreign currency risk. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment is made at a specified future date.

Embedded derivatives – We have embedded derivatives which are required to be separated from their host contracts and reported as derivatives. Host contracts include reinsurance agreements structured on a modco or funds withheld basis and indexed annuity products.

Credit Risk—We may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of counterparty nonperformance on derivative financial instruments. Generally, the current credit exposure of our derivative contracts is the fair value at the reporting date less any collateral received from the counterparty.

We manage credit risk related to over-the-counter derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties. Where possible, we maintain collateral arrangements and use master netting agreements that provide for a single net payment from one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination.We have also established counterparty exposure limits, where possible, in order to evaluate if there is sufficient collateral to support the net exposure.

Collateral arrangements typically require the posting of collateral in connection with its derivative instruments. Collateral agreements often contain posting thresholds, some of which may vary depending on the posting party's financial strength ratings. Additionally, a decrease in our financial strength rating to a specified level can result in settlement of the derivative position. As ofMarch 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had$11 millionand$25 million, respectively, of collateral pledged to counterparties.

The estimated fair value of our net derivative and other financial assets and liabilities after the application of master netting agreements and collateral were as follows:

				Gross amounts not offset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets

Variable Interest Entities

4. Variable Interest Entities

Our investment funds typically meet the definition of a VIE, and in certain cases these investment funds are consolidated in our financial statements because we meet the criteria of the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs—We consolidate AAA Investments (Co-Invest VI), L.P. (CoInvest VI), AAA Investments (Co-Invest VII), L.P. (CoInvest VII), AAA Investments (Other), L.P. (CoInvest Other), London Prime Apartments Guernsey Holdings Limited (London Prime), NCL Athene, LLC (NCL LLC) and Apollo Asia Sprint Co-Investment Fund, L.P. (Sprint), which are investment funds. We are the only limited partner or Class A member in these investment funds and receive all of the economic benefits and losses, other than management fees and carried interest, as applicable, paid to the general partner in each entity, or a related entity, which are related parties. We do not have any voting rights as limited partner and, as the limited partner or Class A member, do not solely satisfy the power criteria to direct the activities that significantly impact the economics of the VIE. However, the criteria for the primary beneficiary are satisfied by our related party group and because substantially all of the activities are conducted on our behalf, we consolidate the investment funds.

No arrangement exists requiring us to provide additional funding in excess of our committed capital investment, liquidity, or the funding of losses or an increase to our loss exposure in excess of our investment in the VIEs. We elected the fair value option for certain fixed maturity and equity securities and investment funds, which are reported in the consolidated variable interest entity sections on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

CoInvest VI, CoInvest VII and CoInvest Other were formed to make investments, including co-investments alongside private equity funds sponsored by Apollo. We received our interests in CoInvest VI, CoInvest VII and CoInvest Other as part of a contribution agreement in 2012 with AAA Guarantor – Athene, L.P. and its subsidiary, Apollo Life Re Ltd., in order to provide a capital base to support future acquisitions. London Prime was formed for the purpose of investing in Prime London Ventures Limited, a Guernsey limited company, which purchases rental residential assets across prime central London.

CoInvest VII holds a significant investment in MidCap FinCo Limited (MidCap), which is included in investment funds of consolidated VIEs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have purchased pools of loans sourced by MidCap and contemporaneously sold subordinated participation interests in the loans to a subsidiary of MidCap. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $14 million due to MidCap under the subordinated participation agreement which is reflected as a secured borrowing in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the third quarter of 2016, CoInvest VI contributed its largest investment, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) shares, to a newly formed entity, NCL LLC, in exchange for 100% of the membership interests in this entity. Subsequent to this contribution, CoInvest VI distributed its Class A membership interests in NCL LLC to us and the Class B membership interests in NCL LLC to the general partner of CoInvest VI. NCL LLC is subject to the same management fees, selling restrictions with respect to shares of NCLH, and carried interest calculation as CoInvest VI. NCL LLC classifies its NCLH shares as AFS equity securities. We are the primary beneficiary and consolidate NCL LLC, as substantially all of its activities are conducted on our behalf.

During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired a 100% limited partnership interest in Sprint, an entity formed to make a co-investment alongside private equity funds sponsored by Apollo. The underlying investment is a structured credit facility on a nearly completed skyscraper in Southeast Asia. We are the primary beneficiary and consolidate Sprint, as substantially all of its activities are conducted on our behalf.

We previously consolidated 2012 CMBS-I Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and 2012 CMBS-II Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, CMBS Funds). The CMBS Funds were originally formed with the objective of generating high risk-adjusted investment returns by investing primarily in a portfolio of eligible CMBS and using leverage through repurchase agreements treated as collateralized financing. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the CMBS Funds were fully dissolved.

Trading securities – related party – Trading securities represents investments in fixed maturity and equity securities with changes in fair value recognized in investment related gains (losses) within revenues of consolidated variable interest entities on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, investment related gains (losses) included losses of $4 million and $21 million, respectively, resulting from the change in unrealized gains and losses underlying trading securities we still held as of the respective period end date. Trading securities held by CoInvest VI, CoInvest VII and CoInvest Other are considered related party investments because Apollo affiliates exercise significant influence over the operations of these investees.

Investment funds – including related party – Investment funds include non-fixed income, alternative investments in the form of limited partnerships or similar legal structures that meet the definition of VIEs; however, our consolidated VIEs are not considered the primary beneficiary of these investment funds. Changes in fair value of these investment funds are included in investment related gains (losses) within revenues of consolidated variable interest entities on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Investment funds held by CoInvest VII, CoInvest Other and Sprint are considered related party investments as they are sponsored or managed by Apollo affiliates.

Fair Value – See Note 5 – Fair Value for a description of the levels of our fair value hierarchy and our process for determining the level we assign our assets and liabilities carried at fair value.

There were no transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Significant Unobservable Inputs– For certain Level 3 trading securities and investment funds, the valuations have significant unobservable inputs for comparable multiples and weighed average cost of capital rates applied in the valuation models. These inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. Specifically, the comparable multiples are multiplied by the underlying investment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to establish the total enterprise value of the underlying investments. We use a comparable multiple consistent with the implied trading multiple of public industry peers.

For other Level 3 trading securities, valuations are performed using a discounted cash flow model. For a discounted cash flow model, the significant input is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. An increase in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value; a decrease in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value. The discount rate is determined by considering the weighted average cost of capital calculation of companies in similar industries with comparable debt to equity ratios.

Fair Value Option – The following represents the gains (losses) recorded for instruments within the consolidated VIEs for which we have elected the fair value option:

	Three months ended March 31,
(In millions)	2017			2016
Trading securities, equity securities	$	(4	)	$	(18	)
Investment funds	5			4
Total gains (losses)	$	1		$	(14	)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Held at Fair Value – Assets of consolidated variable interest entities includes $32 million and $11 million of investment funds accounted for under the equity method and, therefore, not carried at fair value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively; however, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies – Included in assets of CoInvest VI are equity investments in publicly traded shares of Caesars Entertainment Corporation (CEC) and Caesars Acquisition Company (CAC). We received the CEC and CAC shares as part of a contribution agreement in 2012 with AAA Guarantor - Athene, L.P. and its subsidiary, Apollo Life Re Ltd., in order to provide a capital base to support future acquisitions. There are pending claims against CEC, CAC and/or others, related to certain guaranties issued for debt of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (CEOC) and/or certain transactions involving CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, Debtors), CEC, CAC and others. CEC and the Debtors announced on or about September 26, 2016 that CEC and CEOC had received confirmations from representatives of CEOC's major creditor groups of those groups’ support for a term sheet that describes the key economic terms of a proposed consensual chapter 11 plan for the Debtors. The plan, containing such terms and further including such other terms respecting, among other things, the merger of CAC into CEC, that CoInvest VI and others will not retain their pre-merger CEC shares, that CoInvest VI and others will retain the value of their CAC shares when receiving shares in the merged CEC, and that CoInvest VI and others will receive releases to the fullest extent permitted by law, was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court by order dated January 17, 2017. Conditions precedent to the effective date of the plan include regulatory approvals from the various gaming regulators, CEC and CAC shareholders' approval of the proposed merger, and securing required financings. As a result, CoInvest VI has recorded a liability of $30 million for the entire carrying value of the CEC shares. As of March 31, 2017, CoInvest VI's investment in CAC is carried at its fair value of $52 million.

Non-Consolidated Securities and Investment Funds—We invest in certain other entities meeting the definition of a VIE or voting interest entity (VOE). We do not consolidate such VIEs for which we do not meet the criteria of primary beneficiary as described below. We also do not consolidate such VOEs for which we do not have control.

Fixed Maturity Securities – We invest in securitization entities as a debt holder or an investor in the residual interest of the securitization vehicle, which are included in fixed maturity securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These entities are deemed VIEs due to insufficient equity within the structure and lack of control by the equity investors over the activities that significantly impact the economics of the entity. In general, we are a debt investor within these entities and, as such, hold a variable interest; however, due to the debt holders' lack of ability to control the decisions within the trust that significantly impact the entity, and the fact the debt holders are protected from losses due to the subordination by the equity tranche, the debt holders are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Securitization vehicles in which we hold the residual tranche are not consolidated because we do not unilaterally have substantive rights to remove the general partner, or when assessing related party interests, we are not under common control, as defined by GAAP, with the related party, nor are substantially all of the activities conducted on our behalf; therefore, we are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Debt investments and investments in the residual tranche of securitization entities are considered debt instruments and are held at fair value on the balance sheet and classified as AFS or trading.

Investment funds – Investment funds include non-fixed income, alternative investments in the form of limited partnerships or similar legal structures that meet the definition of VIEs or VOEs.

A portion of these investment funds are sponsored and managed by unrelated parties in which we, as limited partner, do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the fund, nor do we unilaterally have substantive rights to remove the general partner or dissolve the entity without cause. As a result, we do not meet the power criterion to be considered the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate these VIEs in our financial statements. Investment funds managed by unrelated parties and classified as VOEs are not consolidated as we do not own a majority voting interest and have no other substantive rights that would provide control.

We also have equity interests in investment funds where the general partner or investment manager is a related party. We have determined we are not under common control, as defined by GAAP, with the related party, nor are we deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, investments in these VIEs are not consolidated.

We account for non-consolidated investment funds where we are able to exercise significant influence over the entity under the equity method or by electing the fair value option. For non-consolidated investment funds where we are not able to exercise significant influence, we elect the fair value option. Our investments in investment funds are generally passive in nature as we do not take an active role in the investment fund's management.

Our risk of loss associated with our non-consolidated VIEs and VOEs is limited and depends on the investment as follows: (1) investment funds accounted for under the equity method are limited to our initial investment plus unfunded commitments; (2) investment funds under the fair value option are limited to the fair value plus unfunded commitments; (3) AFS securities and other investments are limited to cost or amortized cost; and (4) trading securities are limited to carrying value.

The following summarizes the carrying value and maximum loss exposure of these non-consolidated VIEs and VOEs:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value

5. Fair Value

Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. We determine fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for inactive markets or valuation techniques that require observable direct or indirect inputs for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,

• Observable inputs other than quoted market prices, and

• Observable inputs derived principally from market data through correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques with unobservable inputs significant to the overall fair value estimate. These valuations use critical assumptions not readily available to market participants. Level 3 valuations are based on market standard valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flows, matrix pricing or other similar techniques.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the instrument's fair value measurement.

We use a number of valuation sources to determine fair values. Valuation sources can include quoted market prices; third-party commercial pricing services; third-party brokers; industry-standard, vendor modeling software that uses market observable inputs; and other internal modeling techniques based on projected cash flows. We periodically review the assumptions and inputs of third-party commercial pricing services through internal valuation price variance reviews, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring trading volumes.

Fair Value Valuation Methods—We used the following valuation methods and assumptions to estimate fair value:

AFS and trading securities

Fixed maturity –We obtain the fair value for most marketable bonds without an active market from several commercial pricing services. These are classified as Level 2 assets. The pricing services incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, trading activity, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data. This category typically includes U.S. and non-U.S. corporate bonds, U.S. agency and government guaranteed securities, ABS, CMBS and RMBS.

We value privately placed fixed maturity securities based on the credit quality and duration of comparable marketable securities, which may be securities of another issuer with similar characteristics. In some instances, we use a matrix-based pricing model. These models consider the current level of risk-free interest rates, corporate spreads, credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. We also consider additional factors such as net worth of the borrower, value of collateral, capital structure of the borrower, presence of guarantees and our evaluation of the borrower's ability to compete in its relevant market. Privately placed fixed maturity securities are classified as Level 2 or 3.

Equity securities–Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices and classified as Level 1. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, we value based on other sources, such as commercial pricing services or brokers and are classified as Level 2 or 3.

Mortgage loans – Mortgage loans for which we have elected the fair value option or those held for sale are carried at fair value. We estimate fair value on a monthly basis using discounted cash flow analysis and rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The discounted cash flow model uses unobservable inputs, including estimates of discount rates and loan prepayments. Mortgage loans are classified as Level 3.

Funds withheld (embedded derivative) – We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative based on the change in the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld payable under the combined coinsurance, modco and coinsurance funds withheld reinsurance agreements. As a result, the fair value of the embedded derivative is classified as Level 2 or 3 based on the valuation methods used for the assets held in trust supporting the reinsurance agreements.

Derivatives –Derivative contracts can be exchange traded or over-the-counter. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy depending on trading activity. Over-the-counter derivatives are valued using valuation models or an income approach using third-party broker valuations. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlation of the inputs. We consider and incorporate counterparty credit risk in the valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. We also evaluate and include our own nonperformance risk in valuing derivatives. The majority of our derivatives trade in liquid markets; therefore, we can verify model inputs and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. These are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and cash equivalents– The carrying amount for cash equals fair value. We estimate the fair value for cash equivalents based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.

Interest sensitive contract liabilities (embedded derivative)– Embedded derivatives related to interest sensitive contract liabilities with fixed indexed annuity products are classified as Level 3. The valuations include significant unobservable inputs associated with economic assumptions and actuarial assumptions for policyholder behavior.

Unit-linked contracts– Unit-linked contracts are valued based on the fair value of the investments supporting the contract. The underlying investments are trading securities comprised primarily of mutual funds. The valuations of these are based on quoted market prices for similar assets and are classified in Level 2, resulting in a corresponding classification for the unit-linked contracts.

AmerUs Closed Block– We elected the fair value option for the future policy benefits liability in the AmerUs Closed Block. Our valuation technique is to set the fair value of policyholder liabilities equal to the fair value of assets. There is an additional component which captures the fair value of the open block's cost to hold capital in excess of existing liabilities on the closed block. This component uses a present value of future cash flows, which includes investment earnings and policyholder liability movements. Unobservable inputs include estimates for these items. The target surplus as a percentage of statutory reserves is 3.85% based on the statutory risk-based capital ratio applicable to this block of business. The AmerUs Closed Block policyholder liabilities and any corresponding reinsurance recoverable are classified as Level 3.

ILICO Closed Block – We elected the fair value option for the ILICO Closed Block. Our valuation technique is to set the fair value of policyholder liabilities equal to the fair value of assets. There is an additional component which captures the fair value of the open block's obligations to the closed block business. This component uses the present value of future cash flows. The cash flows include commissions, administrative expenses, reinsurance premiums and benefits, and an explicit cost of capital. Unobservable inputs include estimates for these items. The explicit cost of capital assumption is 9% of required capital, post tax. A margin of 8.94% is included in the discount rates to reflect the business risk. An additional 0.26% is included to reflect non-performance risk. The ILICO Closed Block policyholder liabilities and corresponding reinsurance recoverable are classified as Level 3.

Universal life liabilities and other life benefits– We elected the fair value option for certain blocks of universal and other life business ceded to Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited (together with its subsidiaries, Global Atlantic). We use a present value of liability cash flows. Unobservable inputs include estimates of mortality, persistency, expenses, premium payments and a risk margin used in the discount rates that reflects the riskiness of the business. The risk margin was 0.09%. These universal life policyholder liabilities and corresponding reinsurance recoverable are classified as Level 3.

Fair Value Option—The following represents the gains (losses) recorded for instruments for which we have elected the fair value option:

	Three months ended March 31,
(In millions)	2017		2016
Trading securities	$	2	$	12
Investment funds	7		3
Future policy benefits	4		(53		)
Total gains (losses)	$	13	$	(38	)

Gains and losses on trading securities are recorded in investment related gains (losses) on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For fair value option mortgage loans, we record interest income in net investment income and subsequent changes in fair value in investment related gains (losses) on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Gains and losses related to investment funds, including related party investment funds, are recorded in net investment income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. We record the change in fair value of future policy benefits to future policy and other policy benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following summarizes information for fair value option mortgage loans:

Unpaid principal balance	$	42	$	42
Mark to fair value	2		2
Fair value	$	44	$	44

There were no fair value option mortgage loans 90 days or more past due as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Transfers Between Levels—Transfers into Level 3 generally represent securities that were valued using pricing sources which, due to changing market conditions, were less observable than in prior periods as indicated by the increased volatility, which was reflected in vendor prices obtained for individual securities. Additionally, changes in pricing sources also led to securities transferring into Level 3.

Transfers out of Level 3 generally represent securities that were valued using pricing sources which, due to changing market conditions, were more observable than in prior periods as indicated by decreased volatility, which was reflected in vendor prices obtained for individual securities. Additionally, changes in pricing sources also led to securities transferring into Level 2.

Transfers into or out of any level are assumed to occur at the end of the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Significant Unobservable Inputs—Significant unobservable inputs occur when we could not obtain or corroborate the quantitative detail of the inputs. This applies to AFS securities, trading securities, mortgage loans and credit default swaps. Additional significant unobservable inputs are described below.

Fixed maturity securities – For certain fixed maturity securities, internal models are used to calculate the fair value. We use a discounted cash flow approach. The discount rate is the significant unobservable input due to the determined credit spread being internally developed, illiquid, or as a result of other adjustments made to the base rate. The base rate represents a market comparable rate for securities with similar characteristics. As of March 31, 2017, discounts ranged from 3% to 7%. This excludes assets for which significant unobservable inputs are not developed internally, primarily consisting of broker quotes.

Interest sensitive contract liabilities – embedded derivative – Significant unobservable inputs we use in the fixed indexed annuities embedded derivative of the interest sensitive contract liabilities valuation include:

1. Non-performance risk – For contracts we issue, we use the credit spread from the U.S. treasury curve based on our public credit rating as of the valuation date. This represents our credit risk for use in the estimate of the fair value of embedded derivatives. For contracts reinsured through funds withheld reinsurance, the cedant company holds collateral against its exposure; therefore, immaterial non-performance risk is ascribed to these contracts.

2. Option budget – We assume future hedge costs in the derivative's fair value estimate. The level of option budgets determines the future costs of the options and impacts future policyholder account value growth.

3. Policyholder behavior – We regularly review the lapse and withdrawal assumptions (surrender rate). These are based on our initial pricing assumptions updated for actual experience. Actual experience may be limited for recently issued products.

The following summarizes the unobservable inputs for the embedded derivatives of fixed indexed annuities:

1 Investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient in determining fair value have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

We estimate the fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value using the same methods and assumptions as those we carry at fair value. The financial instruments presented above are reported at carrying value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, in the case of policy loans, funds withheld at interest and liability, and other investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment in related parties – Other investments – The fair value of related party other investments is determined using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates for similar investments.

Interest sensitive contract liabilities– The carrying and fair value of interest sensitive contract liabilities above includes fixed indexed and traditional fixed annuities without mortality or morbidity risks, funding agreements and payout annuities without life contingencies. The embedded derivatives within fixed indexed annuities without mortality or morbidity risks are excluded, as they are carried at fair value. The valuation of these investment contracts is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free interest rates, adding a spread to reflect our nonperformance risk and subtracting a risk margin to reflect uncertainty inherent in the projected cash flows.

Equity [Abstract]

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, a total of 24,030,251 Class B shares were converted to Class A shares in connection with the distribution of Class B shares by AP Alternative Assets, L.P. to its unitholders, or in order to participate in the follow-on offering of our Class A shares, which was priced on March 28, 2017. We did not sell any shares in the offering.

Stock-based Compensation—Stock-based compensation was an expense of $16 million and a benefit of $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The stock-based compensation benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was a result of a reduction in the valuation of our Class A shares from $34.23 per share as of December 31, 2015, to $30.44 per share as of March 31, 2016, due to industry market movements. This resulted in a lower Class M share value at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, and thus resulted in a benefit, primarily with respect to our performance-based M-1, M-2 and M-3 liability awards, which were remeasured to fair value each reporting period. As the performance-based M-1, M-2 and M-3 shares were fully vested in the third quarter of 2016, they are no longer subject to remeasurement.

As of March 31, 2017, the stock-based compensation plans had unrecognized compensation expense of $57 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

1Calculated using whole figures.

We use the two-class method for allocating net income available to AHL shareholders to each class of our common stock. Our Class M shares do not become eligible to participate in dividends until a return of investment (ROI) condition has been met for each class. Once eligible, each class of our common stock has equal dividend rights. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2016, the ROI condition had not been met for any of our Class M shares and as a result, no earnings were attributable to those classes. In conjunction with our IPO in the fourth quarter of 2016,the ROI condition for Class M-1 was met, and the ROI condition for Class M-2 was subsequently met on March 28, 2017. For purposes of calculating basic weighted average shares outstanding and the allocation of basic income, shares are deemed to be participating in earnings for only the portion of the period after the condition is met. However, as shares are considered dilutive as of the beginning of the period, the resulting diluted EPS is comparatively lower if the ROI condition is met after the beginning of the period than it would have been had the ROI condition been met at the beginning of the period.

Class M-3 and Class M-4 shares remained ineligible for dividends as of March 31, 2017; however, on April 20, 2017, the ROI condition was met for Class M-3 and Class M-4 shares. The basic EPS calculations above reflect only those classes of stock eligible to participate in earnings during each respective period.

Dilutive shares are calculated using the treasury stock method. For Class A common shares, this method takes into account shares that can be settled into Class A common shares, net of a conversion price.

The diluted EPS calculation for Class A shares excluded 94,429,888 and 152,766,540 shares, RSUs and options outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The excluded shares as of March 31, 2017 were comprised of 91,666,275 shares considered antidilutive and 2,763,613 shares for which a performance condition had not been met. The excluded shares as of March 31, 2016 were comprised of 135,963,975 shares considered antidilutive and 16,802,565 shares for which issuance restrictions had not been satisfied as of the end of the period.

Athene Asset Management

Investment related expenses – Substantially all of our investments, with the exception of the investments of ADKG, are managed by Athene Asset Management, L.P. (AAM), a subsidiary of AGM. AAM provides direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisition asset diligence and certain operational support services for our investment portfolio, including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. As of March 31, 2017, AAM directly managed $54,539 million of our investment portfolio assets, of which 86% are rated one or two by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). For certain assets which require specialized sourcing and underwriting capabilities, AAM has chosen to mandate sub-advisors rather than building out in-house capabilities. For the services related to these investments, AAM earns a fee of 0.40% per year, subject to certain discounts, on all assets managed in accounts owned by or related to us, including sub-advised assets, but excluding assets of ADKG and certain other limited exceptions. Additionally, AAM recharges the sub-advisory fees it incurs with respect to our sub-advised assets to us.

AAM has entered into a Master Sub-Advisory Agreement (MSAA) with certain Apollo affiliates to sub-advise AAM with respect to a portion of our assets, with the fees recharged to us, in addition to the gross fee of 0.40% per year paid to AAM as described above. The MSAA covers services rendered by Apollo-affiliated sub-advisors relating to the following investments:

In the first quarter 2017, we announced an agreement to amend certain fee arrangements we have in place with AAM and Apollo relating to investment management fees and sub-advisory fees that are paid by us to AAM and Apollo. More specifically, we and Apollo have agreed to enter into a revised fee agreement, which provides for, among other things, a fee of 0.30% per year (reduced from 0.40% per year) on all assets that Apollo manages in accounts owned by us in the U.S. and Bermuda or in accounts supporting reinsurance ceded to our U.S. and Bermuda subsidiaries by third-party insurers (North American Accounts) in excess of $65,846 million (the level of assets in the North American Accounts as of December 31, 2016). The fee to be paid by us to Apollo on the first $65,846 million of assets in the North American Accounts remains 0.40% per year, subject to certain discounts and exceptions.

In addition, we and Apollo have also agreed to amend the sub-advisory agreements that are in place with Apollo, whereby, with limited exceptions, Apollo will earn 0.40% per year on all assets in the North American Accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo up to $10,000 million, 0.35% per year on all assets in such accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo in excess of $10,000 million up to $12,441 million (the level of fee-paying sub-advised assets in the North American Accounts at December 31, 2016), 0.40% per year on all assets in such accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo in excess of $12,441 million up to $16,000 million and 0.35% per year on all assets in such accounts explicitly sub-advised by Apollo in excess of $16,000 million.

The amendments to the investment management fees and sub-advisory fees are subject to the approval by our shareholders at our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders of certain amendments to our bye-laws relating to the term and termination of the investment management agreements between us and Apollo. However, upon such shareholder approval, the amendments to the investment management fees and sub-advisory fees will be effective retroactive to January 1, 2017.

Apollo Asset Management Europe

ADKG has an investment advisory agreement with Apollo Asset Management Europe (together with certain of its affiliates, AAME), also a subsidiary of AGM. AAME provides advisory services for all of ADKG's investment portfolio other than operating cash, mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial properties that are not identified and advised by AAME, and assets related to unit-linked policies. Also excluded are assets held in German special investment funds managed or advised by Apollo, AAM and any of the respective affiliates of Apollo, AAM or AAME, to the extent the entity receives a management or advisory fee in connection with the fund. In providing these services, AAME has access to Apollo's European expertise and capabilities. The ADKG investments sub-advised by AAME consist primarily of corporate and sovereign bonds, as compared to the more diverse range of assets managed by AAM or those held in the German special investment funds. As compensation for the investment advisory services rendered, AAME receives a fee of 0.10% per year on the assets it sub-advises. Affiliates of AAME receive an advisory fee of 0.35% per year on certain German special investment funds and our investment in a sub-fund of Apollo Capital Efficient Fund I (ACE fund), as well as a pro rata share of operating expenses up to 0.30% on the ACE fund. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the German special investment funds totaled $449 million and $258 million, respectively and the ACE fund totaled $87 million and $84 million, respectively. The fees incurred for management of these funds are included in sub-advisory fees in the table below.

The following represents the assets sub-advised by AAME:

	Three months ended March 31,
(In millions)	2017		2016
Asset management fees	$	62	$	58
Sub-advisory fees	16		23

The management and sub-advisory fees are included within net investment income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The management fees payable as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $31 million and $28 million, respectively. The sub-advisory fees payable as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $16 million and $11 million, respectively. Both the management and sub-advisory fees payables are included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The investment management or advisory agreements with AAM or AAME have no stated term and any party can terminate upon notice. However, our bye-laws provide that we will not exercise our termination rights under the agreements, except that any agreement may only be terminated on October 31, 2018, or any third anniversary thereafter. Any termination on that date without cause requires (1) approval of our board of directors and the holders of our common shares that hold a majority of total voting power (giving effect to the voting allocation provisions set forth in our bye-laws) and (2) six months' prior written notice to AAM or AAME of termination. We may terminate the investment management or advisory agreements for cause, with the approval of our board of directors.

We have a management investment committee, which includes members of our senior management and reports to the risk committee of our board of directors. The committee focuses on strategic decisions involving our investment portfolio, such as approving investment limits, new asset classes and our allocation strategy, reviewing large asset transactions, as well as monitoring our credit risk, and the management of our assets and liabilities.

A significant voting interest in the Company is held by shareholders who are members of the Apollo Group, as defined in our bye-laws. Also, James Belardi, our Chief Executive Officer, is also an employee of, and receives substantial remuneration from acting as Chief Executive Officer of, AAM, and owns a 5% profits interest in AAM. Additionally, five of the twelve members of our board of directors are employees of or consultants to Apollo (including Mr. Belardi). In order to protect against potential conflicts of interest resulting from transactions into which we have entered and will continue to enter into with the Apollo Group, our bye-laws created a conflicts committee consisting of three of our directors who are not officers or employees of any member of the Apollo Group. The conflicts committee reviews and a majority of the committee members must approve material transactions between us and the Apollo Group, subject to certain exceptions.

Other related party transactions—We have a loan purchase agreement with AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC (AmeriHome), an investee of A-A Mortgage, an equity method investee. The agreement allows us to purchase residential mortgage loans which they have purchased from correspondent sellers and pooled for sale in the secondary market. AmeriHome retains the servicing rights to the sold loans. We purchased $1 million and $15 million of residential mortgage loans under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Commitments—We had commitments to make investments, primarily capital contributions to investment funds, of$1,140 million and$962 millionas ofMarch 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016, respectively. We expect most of our current commitments will be invested over the next five years; however, these commitments could become due any time upon counterparty request.

Funding Agreements—We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Indianapolis and Des Moines. Through membership, we have issued funding agreements with a carrying value of$459 millionand$691 millionas ofMarch 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016, respectively, to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances.The decrease in carrying value during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was a result of maturities and payments on the outstanding funding agreements. We are required to provide collateral in excess of the funding agreements, considering any discounts to the securities posted and prepayment penalties.

We have a funding agreement backed notes (FABN) program, which allows Athene Global Funding, a special purpose, non-affiliated statutory-trust to offer up to $5 billion of its senior secured medium-term notes. Athene Global Funding uses the net proceeds from each sale to purchase one or more funding agreements from us. Funding agreements issued under this program have a carrying value of $896 million and $246 million as of March 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in carrying value during the first quarter of 2017 was a result of additional issuances of$650 millionunder this program.

Pledged Assets and Funds in Trust (Restricted Assets)—The total restricted assets included on thecondensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

(In millions)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
AFS securities
Fixed maturity	$	1,505	$	1,382
Equity	31		40

Mortgage loans	911		1,003
Short-term investments	13		—
Restricted cash	73		57
Total restricted assets	$	2,557	$	2,507

The restricted assets are primarily a result of the FHLB funding agreements described above. Additionally, we have established reinsurance trusts of assets in accordance with coinsurance agreements, which are typically based on corresponding statutory reserves.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments—On June 12, 2015, Don Hudson, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of California against us. The complaint, which is similar to complaints recently filed against other large insurance companies, primarily alleges that captive reinsurance and other transactions had the effect of misrepresenting the financial condition of Athene Annuity and Life Company (AAIA). The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class of purchasers of annuity products issued by AAIA between 2007 and the present and asserts claims against AHL, ALRe, AUSA and AAIA in addition to Apollo and AAM. There are also various allegations related to the purchase of Aviva USA and concerning entry into a modco transaction with ALRe in October 2013. The suit asserts claims of violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and seeks compensatory damages, trebled, in an amount to be determined, costs and attorneys' fees. On March 25, 2016, the matter was transferred to the United States District Court, Southern District of Iowa (S.D. IA Court). On May 25, 2016, the court granted plaintiff’s motion to file an amended complaint dropping plaintiff Silva and defendant Aviva plc. We moved to dismiss that complaint on June 30, 2016, and the motion was fully briefed as of September 8, 2016. On November 14, 2016, the court stayed consideration of the motion to dismiss pending a ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in a similar case which will likely affect the disposition of our motion. See Ludwick v. Harbinger Grp., Inc., 161 F. Supp. 3d 769 (W.D. Mo. 2016), appeal docketed, No. 16-1561 (8^th Cir.). On April 13, 2017, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the claims in Ludwick, and Athene has advised the S.D. IA Court. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims set forth in the amended complaint and intend to vigorously defend the litigation and, as mentioned, have sought dismissal of the amended complaint. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in this matter, reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

On July 27, 2015, John Griffiths, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, against us. An amended complaint was filed on December 18, 2015. The complaint asserts claims against AHL, AAIA and Athene London Assignment Corporation (Athene London), in addition to an Aviva defendant. AHL is a named defendant due to its purchase of Aviva USA, and AAIA and Athene London are named as successors to Aviva Life Insurance Company and Aviva London Assignment Corporation, respectively. The complaint alleges a putative class action on behalf of all persons who are the beneficial owners of assets which were used to purchase structured settlement annuities that Aviva Life Insurance Company, Aviva London Assignment Corporation, and Aviva International Insurance Limited (Aviva Entities) or their predecessors, as applicable, delivered to purchasers on or after April 1, 2003. The complaint alleges that the Aviva Entities sold structured settlement annuities to the public on the basis that such products were backed by a capital maintenance agreement by Aviva International Insurance Limited or its predecessor, which was alleged as a source of great financial strength. The complaint further alleges that the Aviva Entities used this capital maintenance agreement to enhance the sales volume and raise the price of the annuities. The complaint claims that, as a result of Aviva USA’s sale to AHL, the capital maintenance agreement terminated. According to the complaint, no notice was provided to the owners of the structured settlement annuities and the termination of the capital maintenance agreement constituted a breach of contract, and the plaintiff further asserts other causes of action. The defendants have answered and are engaged in the discovery process. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims set forth in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in this matter, reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its examinations of the 2006 through 2010 Aviva USA tax years. Aviva USA agreed to all adjustments that were proposed with respect to those tax years with two exceptions: (1) AAIA’s treatment of call options used to hedge fixed indexed annuity (FIA) liabilities for the tax years 2008–2010 and (2) the disallowance of offsetting tax deductions taken by AAIA and taxable income reported by the non-life subgroup with respect to unpaid independent marketing organization commissions. The first adjustment to which Aviva USA did not agree would disallow deductions of $191 million, $154 million and $76 million for 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The second adjustment to which Aviva USA did not agree would increase non-life net operating losses and decrease AAIA net operating losses by $16 million in each of 2009 and 2010. Taxes, penalties and interest with respect to these two issues for the years under audit are subject to indemnification by Aviva plc under the Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) between Aviva plc and AHL, dated December 21, 2012 assuming the SPA requirements are satisfied. Athene USA has been unable to negotiate a favorable settlement of this issue with the IRS, and intends to contest the adjustment in federal court. If the IRS position is upheld in federal court, Athene USA expects that it would owe tax of $120 million, plus interest, for tax years ending on or before October 2, 2013, which are subject to indemnification by Aviva plc as described above.

The IRS also recently completed its examination of the 2011 through 2012 Aviva USA tax years, proposing adjustments that would increase taxable income by approximately $16 million in the aggregate for these two tax years. Athene USA agreed to all adjustments that were proposed with respect to those tax years except for adjustments relating to the same two issues that were not agreed to during the prior examination as discussed above. The first adjustment to which Athene USA did not agree would disallow deductions of $16 million in 2011 and increase deductions by $12 million in 2012. The second adjustment to which Athene USA did not agree would increase non-life net operating losses and decrease AAIA net operating losses by $15 million in 2011 and $12 million in 2012. Taxes, penalties and interest with respect to these two tax years are subject to indemnification by Aviva plc under the SPA, assuming the SPA requirements are satisfied. The treatment of FIA hedges is a recurring issue as to the timing of the related deductions and could affect the current income tax incurred in periods after October 2, 2013, which are not subject to indemnification by Aviva plc. Given that the disallowance of a deduction in one period results in an increased deduction in a future period, we do not expect that there will be any material impact to our financial condition resulting from this issue.

In 2000 and 2001, two insurance companies which were subsequently merged into AAIA purchased from American General Life Insurance Company (American General) broad based variable corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) policies that, as of March 31, 2017, had an asset value of $333 million, and is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In January 2012, the COLI policy administrator delivered to AAIA a supplement to the existing COLI policies and advised that American General and ZC Resource Investment Trust (ZC Trust) had unilaterally implemented changes set forth in the supplement that if effective, would: (1) potentially negatively impact the crediting rate for the policies and (2) change the exit and surrender protocols set forth in the policies. In March 2013, AAIA filed suit against American General, ZC Trust, and ZC Resource LLC in Chancery Court in Delaware, seeking, among other relief, a declaration that the changes set forth in the supplement were ineffectual and in breach of the parties’ agreement. The parties filed cross motions for judgment as a matter of law, and the court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed without prejudice on ripeness grounds. The issue that negatively impacts the crediting rate for one of the COLI policies has been triggered and we will pursue further adjudication. If the supplement is ultimately deemed to be effective, the purported changes to the policies could impair AAIA’s ability to access the value of guarantees associated with the policies. The value of the guarantees included within the asset value reflected above are $160 million as of March 31, 2017.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

14. Segment Information

We operate our core business strategies out of one reportable segment, Retirement Services. In addition to Retirement Services, we report certain other operations in Corporate and Other.

Retirement Services—Retirement Services is comprised of our United States and Bermuda operations which issue and reinsure retirement savings products and institutional products. Retirement Services has retail operations, which provide annuity retirement solutions to our policyholders. Retirement Services also has reinsurance operations, which reinsure multi-year guaranteed annuities, fixed indexed annuities, traditional one-year guarantee fixed deferred annuities, immediate annuities and institutional products from our reinsurance partners. In addition, our funding agreements are included in our Retirement Services segment.

Corporate and Other—Corporate and Other includes certain other operations related to our corporate activities and our German operations, which is primarily comprised of participating long-duration savings products. In addition to our German operations, included in Corporate and Other are corporate allocated expenses, merger and acquisition costs, debt costs, certain integration and restructuring costs, certain stock-based compensation and intersegment eliminations. In Corporate and Other we also hold capital in excess of the level of capital we hold in Retirement Services to support our operating strategy.

Financial Measures—Segment operating income, net of tax, is an internal measure used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate and assess the results of our segments.

Operating revenue is a component of operating income, net of tax, and excludes market volatility and adjustments for other non-operating activity. Our operating revenue equals our total revenue, adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following non-operating adjustments:

• Change in fair values of derivatives and embedded derivatives – index annuities, net of offsets;

• Investment gains (losses), net of offsets;

• VIE expenses and noncontrolling interest; and

• Other adjustments to revenues.

The table below reconciles segment operating revenues to total revenues presented on the condensed consolidated statements of income:

Operating income, net of tax, is an internal measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring, stock compensation and other expenses. Our operating income, net of tax, equals net income available to AHL's shareholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following non-operating adjustments:

• Investment gains (losses), net of offsets;

• Change in fair values of derivatives and embedded derivatives – index annuities, net of offsets;

• Integration, restructuring and other non-operating expenses;

• Stock-based compensation, excluding LTIP; and

• Income tax (expense) benefit – non-operating.

Subsequent Events

15. Subsequent Events

On April 14, 2017, in connection with a private offering, AGER Bermuda Holding Ltd. (AGER), a Bermuda domiciled holding company and the holding company of ADKG, entered into subscription agreements with AHL, certain affiliates of AGM and a number of other third-party investors pursuant to which AGER secured commitments from such parties to purchase new common shares in AGER (AGER Offering). AHL's capital commitment includes the valuation of the AGER Group (comprised of our European operations which includes ADKG) at approximately €90 million, which also approximates our invested capital in the AGER Group. Additionally, AHL has committed to purchase an additional €285 million of common shares (which may be reduced to €260 million if certain conditions are met), as well as an additional profits interest in securities which, upon meeting certain vesting triggers, will be convertible into additional common shares.

Upon closing of the AGER Offering, the aggregate voting power held by AHL in AGER will be reduced to 10%. The completion of the AGER Offering is conditioned upon obtaining certain regulatory approvals, and other customary terms and conditions. We expect that AGER's initial material capital call will result in the issuance by AGER of new common shares to affiliates of Apollo and other third-party investors, such that our interest in the AGER Group will be reduced so the AGER Group will be held as an investment rather than a consolidated subsidiary of AHL.

The valuation of the AGER Group was fixed at €90 million as of April 14, 2017, and is unaffected by any profit or loss or other increase or decrease in value of the AGER Group during the period between April 14, 2017 and the date on which the AGER Group is deconsolidated, which we expect to be nine months or longer. As a result, to the extent that our invested capital and/or the fair value of our AGER Group increases or decreases during such time period, we may incur a gain or loss upon deconsolidation.

We also expect AAME to continue to act as investment adviser in regards to the investment portfolio of the AGER Group, though the services provided and fees charged may differ from the existing arrangement.

Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair statement of the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates. Actual results may differ from estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASU 2017-08)

The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. These amendments are required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and we have elected to early adopt effective January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation – Interest Held through Related Parties under Common Control (ASU 2016-17)

This update amends the consolidation guidance to change how indirect interests in VIEs are evaluated by a reporting entity when determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the reporting entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and, therefore, consolidates the VIE. A reporting entity has an indirect interest in a VIE if it has a direct interest in a related party that, in turn, has a direct interest in the VIE. Previously, if a single decision maker and its related parties were under common control, the single decision maker was required to consider indirect interests held through related parties to be the equivalent of direct interests in their entirety. The amendments change the evaluation of indirect interests to be considered on a proportionate basis. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09)

This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. We have elected to account for forfeitures when they occur. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASU 2016-07)

This update eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment upon it qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging – Contingent Put and Call Options (ASU 2016-06)

This update is intended to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to debt hosts. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging – Effects of Derivative Contract Novation (ASU 2016-05)

This update is intended to clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require a de-designation of that hedging relationship provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (ASU 2017-05)

The amendments in this update clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. We will be required to adopt this standard on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04)

The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the comparison of the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill to determine the goodwill impairment loss. With the adoption of this guidance, a goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. We will be required to adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)

The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of assisting entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition (ASU 2016-20, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2014-09)

ASU 2014-09 indicates an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14 provided for a one-year deferral of the effective date, which will require us to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2016-08 amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 clarifies the identification of performance obligations as well as licensing implementation guidance. ASU 2016-11 brings existing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance into conformity with revenue recognition accounting guidance of ASU 2014-09 discussed above. ASU 2016-12 provides clarification on assessing collectability, presentation of sales tax, non-cash consideration and transition. ASU 2016-20 addresses necessary technical corrections and improvements to clarify codification amended by ASU 2014-09 within Topic 606. The revenue recognition updates replace all general and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance, excluding insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments and guarantees, which have been scoped out of the update. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue on contracts accounted for under the financial instruments or insurance contracts standards, only a portion of our revenues are impacted by this guidance. Our evaluation process includes, but is not limited to, identifying contracts within the scope of the guidance, reviewing and documenting our accounting for these contracts, identifying and determining the accounting for any related contract costs and assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18)

This update requires amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this standard retrospectively for each period presented effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update will require us to change the presentation on the consolidated statements of cash flows for restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents; however, we do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes – Intra-Entity Transfers (ASU 2016-16)

This update requires the immediate recognition of current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets, other than inventory. Currently, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. We will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15)

This update provides specific guidance to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The update also clarifies the application of the predominance principle when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13)

This update is designed to reduce complexity by limiting the number of credit impairment models used for different assets. The model will result in accelerated credit loss recognition on assets held at amortized cost, which includes our commercial and residential mortgage investments. The identification of credit-deteriorated securities will include all assets that have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit since origination. Additionally, any changes in the expected cash flows of credit-deteriorated securities will be recognized immediately in the income statement. Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities are not in scope of the new credit loss model, but will undergo targeted improvements to the current reporting model including the establishment of a valuation allowance for credit losses versus the current direct write down approach. We will be required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases (ASU 2016-02)

This update is intended to increase transparency and comparability for lease transactions. A lessee is required to recognize an asset and a liability for all lease arrangements longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. We will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Our implementation efforts are primarily focused on the review of existing lease contracts and assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (ASU 2016-01)

This update retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. We currently recognize changes in fair value related to available-for-sale (AFS) equity securities in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the consolidated balance sheets. We will be required to adopt this standard with a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings effective January 1, 2018. Refer to Note 2 – Investments for further information on the unrealized gains and losses of our AFS equity securities.
