In connection with the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AEL's common stock was converted into the right to receive cash and class A limited voting shares of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“BAM”).

Products Annuities Our Annuities business includes both retail and institutional annuities and is operated through our insurance subsidiaries. Our primary insurance products and coverages are as follows: Fixed Index Annuities – Fixed index annuities allow policyholders to earn index credits based on the performance of a particular index without the risk of loss of their account value. Certain products offer a premium bonus in which the initial annuity deposit on these policies is increased at issuance by a specified premium bonus rate. Generally, the surrender charge and bonus vesting provisions of our policies are structured such that we have comparable protection from early termination between bonus and non-bonus products. The annuity contract value is equal to the sum of premiums paid, premium bonuses and interest credited (“index credits” for funds allocated to an index based strategy), which is based upon an overall limit (or “cap”) or a percentage (the “participation rate”) of the appreciation (based in certain situations on monthly averages or monthly point-to-point calculations) in a recognized index or benchmark.…
