Merger impact and treatment of equity The following summarizes the handling of equity awards following closing of the merger. Please see the following page for an example. What will happen to Class A shares in Athene?  Generally, the shares you own in Athene will be converted into shares of the combined company, which will be a publicly listed company, based on the exchange ratio in the merger.  For each share of Athene, you will receive 1.149 shares of the new combined company. In addition, following the closing, employees who hold shares of Athene that are converted into shares of the combined company are expected to receive annual dividends initially set at a minimum of $1.60 per share. What will happen to my LTI awards?  Time-based RSUs will convert into time-based RSUs of the combined company based on the exchange ratio in the merger (1.149).  The vesting schedule will remain the same. Performance-based RSUs will convert into time-based RSUs of the combined company.  The number of time-based RSUs that will be issued will be based on target level of the performance awards which will then be converted based on the exchange ratio in the merger.  The new awards will vest on the same date as the original awards, i.e., on February 28 following the original 3-year performance period, subject to continued employment. Time-based options will convert into stock options of the combined company, with the number of options and strike prices to be adjusted based on the exchange ratio in the merger.  The vesting schedule will remain the same. What will happen to my vested warrants? The treatment of warrants remains subject to further discussion between Apollo and Athene.  More information will be provided to warrant holders prior to the closing of the transaction. What will happen to the ESPP shares and program going forward?  The ESPP is expected to continue through the close of the transaction and will then be terminated.  Further details about this will be communicated as we approach the closing.  Any shares you purchase under the ESPP between now and the closing will be converted into shares of the new combined company based on the exchange ratio in the merger. Current eligibility rules will continue to apply for enrollment periods prior to the closing of the merger.

Tax Considerations* * The following summary is not intended to serve as individual tax advice. Each employee should consult his/her own tax advisor.


Slide 6

Tax Consequences of Stock Options and Restricted Share Units Tax Consequences of Stock, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units in the Combined Company Tax Consequences for Vested Athene Stock that is Exchanged in the Merger Transaction The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for Athene shareholders. The tax basis in your new shares in the combined company is expected to equal your tax basis in existing Athene shares that you surrender in the merger. The holding period for your new shares in the combined company is expected to include the period you held the exchanged Athene shares. Distributions that you receive from the new combined company are expected to be treated as “qualified dividends”, taxed at capital gains rates, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Tax Consequences of Receipt of Unvested RSUs and Vested or Unvested Options in the Combined Company The receipt of unvested RSUs and vested or unvested options in the combined company as a result of the conversion of existing unvested AHL RSUs or vested or unvested AHL options is not expected to be a taxable event for Athene employees. Tax Consequences of the Subsequent Settlement of RSUs in the Combined Company Ordinary income is recognized upon the settlement of an RSU in an amount equal to the value of the shares that are transferred in settlement of the vested award.  The tax basis of the shares of the combined company that are received is equal to the amount of compensation recognized, and the holding period for those shares commences on the day following the date on which the shares are transferred in settlement of the vested award.  Any dividend equivalents paid on RSUs are included as compensation for U.S. federal income tax purposes when received. Tax Consequences of the Subsequent Exercise of an Option in the Combined Company Ordinary income is recognized upon the exercise of a stock option equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the shares in the combined company that are purchased pursuant to the option exceeds their purchase price. The tax basis of the purchased shares in the new combined company pursuant to the option is equal to the fair market value of those shares on the purchase date, and the holding period for those shares commences on the day following the date on which the shares are purchased pursuant to the option.
