Mark to market impact on alternatives is unrealized and would be expected to recover over time, consistent with historical and recent experience 2. Relative to baseline recession, incremental mark to market impact on Alternatives in Stagflation scenario is driven by higher interest rates, in addition to other downside effects of inflation on performance of certain investments. 3. "Other" includes cash and equivalents, short-term investments, equity securities, policy loans and other investments. 4. Total loss estimate is based upon a single scenario involving a discrete set of assumptions regarding economic conditions. Actual economic conditions in a stressed environment may differ significantly from those assumed and actual loss experience may differ from the estimate presented above and such difference could be material. 23 Forecasted CRE Losses in Baseline Recession, Deep Recession, and Stagflation Scenarios • Within the capital impacts disclosed as part of Athene’s annual asset stress testing (excerpt below), losses are conservatively assumed to occur instantaneously to provide a view of the day one impact in the context of annual statutory earnings and excess capital • If Athene’s modeled recession scenarios were to occur, it is likely losses on the CML portfolio would emerge over time as the loans mature and incremental capital is needed at the properties, with estimated annual loss rates in the Baseline Recession and Stagflation scenarios approaching Athene’s conservatively biased underwriting assumptions CLICK HERE TO VIEW ATHENE’S FULL ASSET STRESS TEST ANALYSIS

Like Corporate Bonds, Commercial Mortgage Loans Have a Ratings Framework 24 • ‘CM’ designations (1-7) are used by insurance companies to calculate risk-based capital (RBC) charges • Unlike corporate bond designations, which are based on NRSRO ratings, CM designations are formulaic and driven by LTV and DSCR, without regard to idiosyncratic factors RATING METHODOLOGY DETAILS o Calculated on trailing three-year weighted-average NOI o DSCR calculation based on in-place rate caps o Adjusted for loan credit enhancements o Subordinated debt is notched down a rating o Specialty real estate subject to more stringent criteria CM Rating Required Capital Comparative NAIC Bond Rating Required Capital CM1 0.9% 1 0.15% - 1.0% CM2 1.8% 2 1.3% - 2.2% CM3 3.0% CM4 5.0% 3 3.1% - 6.0% CM5 7.5% 4 7.4% - 9.5% CM6/CM7 18% - 23% 5 12.4% - 30% 6 30%+ KEY DRIVERS o Loan-to-Value (“LTV”) o Debt Service Coverage1 (“DSCR”) 1.

Weighted average LTV figures based on original appraised values at close or most recent appraisal. 25 • Athene’s CML portfolio is nearly 80% rated as CM1 and CM2 • Most of Athene’s CM3 loans have idiosyncratic features that are penalized under the CML framework • For example, mezzanine loans are notched down from 1st lien from where their LTV / DSCR would otherwise apply, and certain specialty real estate types (i.e. parking garages and production studios) are subject to lower LTV / Higher DSCR targets for equivalent CM designations • CM3 loans are still viewed as high quality, since they carry a lower capital requirement than the comparable NAIC 3 bucket for corporate bonds 60% Wtd.

Non-GAAP Definitions & Reconciliations 35 Non-GAAP Definitions In addition to our results presented in accordance with US GAAP, we present certain financial information that includes non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant US GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results in accordance with US GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding US GAAP measures. Net Invested Assets In managing our business, we analyze net invested assets, which does not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net invested assets represent the investments that directly back our net reserve liabilities as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Net invested assets include (a) total investments on the consolidated balance sheets, with AFS securities, trading securities and mortgage loans 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) VIE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest adjustments, (f) net investment payables and receivables, (g) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments) and (h) an adjustment for the allowance for credit losses. Net invested assets exclude the derivative collateral offsetting the related cash positions. We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements and exclude the underlying investments related to ceded reinsurance transactions in our net 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. Net invested assets include our proportionate share of ACRA investments, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of investments associated with the noncontrolling interests. Our net invested assets are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period. While we believe net invested assets is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying drivers of our investment portfolio, it should not be used as a substitute for total investments, including related parties, presented under US GAAP.
