Athene to Host Investor Update Webcast and Conference Call on Wednesday, March 25, 2020

Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene”) (NYSE: ATH) announced that it will host a webcast and conference call for stakeholders, investors, and analysts, and any other interested parties today, on Wednesday, March 25, 2020 at 8:30 am ET to provide a corporate update and discuss considerations in the current market environment as it relates to Athene’s business. The webcast and conference call will include remarks from Athene’s senior management team, as well as several portfolio managers from Apollo Global Management, Athene’s strategic asset management partner.

In addition, Athene intends to post a presentation on its Investor Relations website at ir.athene.com before the commencement of the webcast and conference call. The presentation will highlight Athene’s performance in the current market environment, including updates on retail and flow reinsurance origination and insights on the Company’s capital, liquidity, investment portfolio, and stress tests.

Jim Belardi, CEO of Athene, stated, “In the wake of extraordinary events that have unfolded in capital markets and society more broadly in just the past month, we want to provide the investment community with an update on our business and provide insight as to where we are focused in the current environment. Athene continues to aggressively execute its business plan with strong levels of capital and liquidity. We continue to serve our retail policyholders and flow reinsurance partners with first quarter origination from these channels remaining strong, and accelerating in March as our products remain an attractive source of guaranteed-income during this period of market volatility.”

Mr. Belardi continued, “As a reminder, Athene is A-rated, has $12 billion of statutory capital, and is armed with significant deployable capital. Our investment portfolio is comprised of high-quality assets, many of which are senior-secured or feature meaningful structural subordination. We are continuing to operate under the same robust risk management framework deeply embedded in all business decisions and processes. This framework mandates that we identify, assess, and monitor risk as well as perform frequent stress testing, the results of which we’ve made public before and will do so again.”
