Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 13, 2020, Athene Holding Ltd. (the “Company”) and Athene Annuity and Life Company (“AAIA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a consent order with the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”). The consent order resolves the NYSDFS’s previously disclosed inquiry into AAIA’s pension risk transfer operations in New York. Pursuant to the consent order, the Company and AAIA are required to pay a fine of $45 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had established an accrued liability in the amount of the fine, which was reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of such date. For management reporting purposes, the amount is considered non-operating.
