Subsequently on May 7, 2024, American National completed a downstream merger with AEL, with AEL being the surviving entity (the "Post-Closing Merger", and together with the AEL Acquisition, the "Transaction"), which changed its name to American National Group Inc.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATING RESULTS

1. Transaction Accounting Adjustments

The foregoing table and these explanatory notes present the statement of operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as adjusted to give effect to the Transaction.

On May 2, 2024, American National completed the AEL Acquisition. Shortly after the AEL Acquisition, on May 7, 2024, American National completed a downstream merger with AEL. The merger of American National and AEL has been accounted for as a common control transaction as if the parent, American National, acquired the shares of its subsidiary, AEL, similar to that of a reversed acquisition without a change in basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. American National is therefore treated as the ongoing reporting entity from an accounting perspective even though AEL is the surviving legal entity. ANGI will continue applying American National's accounting policies post-Transaction.

Please refer to Exhibit 99.4 of the July 23 8-K/A for a presentation, on a preliminary basis, of the consideration transferred and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of AEL as of the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the transaction accounting adjustments in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results, and is based on various assumptions, used to determine management's best estimates of fair value. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations to the adjustments referred to in the explanatory notes below, which will be within twelve months of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for illustrative purposes.

Preliminary ASC 805 and other transaction accounting adjustments include the following:

a. The Transaction resulted in the recognition of intangible assets which primarily include brand names and distribution channels. $39 million of amortization expense on the intangibles that arose from the Transaction is reflected within "Operating expenses" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Operating Results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 based on a weighted average useful life of 20 years.
b. The purchase price allocation process eliminates the entire historical deferred policy acquisition and deferred sales inducement balances previously recognized on AEL's statement of financial position. Correspondingly, amortization expense recognized on AEL's historical deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs of $175 million has been removed and $120 million of Value of Business Acquired ("VOBA") amortization has been included for the six months ended June 30, 2024. VOBA is amortized over the expected remaining life of the underlying policies.
c. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results has been adjusted to reflect the deferred tax impact of the transaction accounting adjustments based on a statutory tax rate of 21%.
d. Removed the $3 million unrealized gain in fair value recognized by American National, related to its pre-existing interest in AEL, which was accounted for as equity securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
e. Reflects the resulted changes to interest income on the mortgage loan portfolio, which has been adjusted to its acquisition date fair value, as a result of acquisition accounting from its carrying amount at amortized cost. The changes to interest income has been computed using a weighted average interest rate for the mortgage loan portfolio.

3

f. Removed $126 million of transaction costs recorded in "Operating expenses" on ANGI's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 per the ANGI 10-Q, in order to give effect to the Transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2023.

2. Historical Operating Results of AEL for the Period from January 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024

American National is the accounting acquirer in the Post-Closing Merger. The activity of ANGI's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 per the ANGI 10-Q is comprised of American National's activity for the period from January 1, 2024 through May 1, 2024 and the combined business activity of American National and AEL for the period from May 2, 2024 through June 30, 2024. In order to give effect to the Transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2023, AEL's results of operations for the period from January 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024 have been added to ANGI's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 per the ANGI 10-Q.

The following table and explanatory notes present AEL's statement of operating results for the period from January 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024, compiled from two sources of input: (i) AEL's historical Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024, adjusted to conform the presentation to that of ANGI's; and (ii) the historical results for the period from April 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024, already conformed to presentation of ANGI's financial statements are added.
