Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities | Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities Accounting Policy Long-term debt is recorded at principal amounts net of any: (i) unamortized original issue discount or premium; (ii) unamortized acquisition date fair value adjustments for AGMH debt; and (iii) debt issuance costs. Original issue discount and premium, acquisition date fair value adjustments for AGMH debt, and debt issuance costs are accreted into interest expense over the contractual term of the applicable debt. When long-term debt is redeemed, the difference between the cash paid to redeem the debt and the carrying value of the debt is reported as a “loss on extinguishment of debt” in the consolidated statements of operations. CCS are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 9, Fair Value Measurement, – Other Assets – Committed Capital Securities, for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the CCS. Long-Term Debt The Company’s long-term debt outstanding consists of debt issued by the U.S. Holding Companies. All of the U.S. Holding Companies’ long-term debt is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AGL; AGL’s guarantee of the junior subordinated debentures is on a junior subordinated basis. Principal and Carrying Amounts of Debt The principal and carrying values of the Company’s debt are presented in the table below. Principal and Carrying Amounts of Long-Term Debt

AGUS may redeem all or part of the 3.15% Senior Notes at any time or from time to time prior to March 15, 2031 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity of the 3.15% Senior Notes), at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 3.15% Senior Notes being redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (excluding interest accrued to the redemption date) from the redemption date to March 15, 2031 discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 25 bps; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the 3.15% Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

AGUS may redeem all or part of the 3.6% Senior Notes at any time or from time to time prior to March 15, 2051 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity of the 3.6% Senior Notes), at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 3.6% Senior Notes being redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (excluding interest accrued to the redemption date) from the redemption date to March 15, 2051 discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 30 bps; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the 3.6% Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The guarantee is a senior unsecured obligation of AGL and ranks equal in right of payment with all of AGL’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding. Series A Enhanced Junior Subordinated Debentures. On December 20, 2006, AGUS issued $150 million of Debentures due 2066. The Debentures pay a floating rate of interest, reset quarterly, at a rate equal to three month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Term SOFR plus a margin equal to 2.64%. AGUS may select at one or more times to defer payment of interest for one or more consecutive periods for up to ten years. Any unpaid interest bears interest at the then applicable rate. AGUS may not defer interest past the maturity date. The debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Debt Issued by AGMH Junior Subordinated Debentures. On November 22, 2006, AGMH issued $300 million face amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures with a scheduled maturity date of December 15, 2036 and a final repayment date of December 15, 2066. The final repayment date of December 15, 2066 may be automatically extended up to four times in five-year increments provided certain conditions are met. The debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to December 15, 2036 at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption or, if greater, the make-whole redemption price. Interest on the debentures will accrue from November 22, 2006 to December 15, 2036 at the annual rate of 6.4%. If any amount of the debentures remains outstanding after December 15, 2036, then the principal amount of the outstanding debentures will bear interest at a floating interest rate equal to one-month CME Term SOFR plus 2.33% until repaid. AGMH may elect at one or more times to defer payment of interest on the debentures for one or more consecutive interest periods that do not exceed ten years. In connection with the completion of this offering, AGMH entered into a replacement capital covenant for the benefit of persons that buy, hold or sell a specified series of AGMH long-term indebtedness ranking senior to the debentures. Under the covenant, the debentures will not be repaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased by AGMH or any of its subsidiaries on or before the date that is 20 years prior to the final repayment date, except to the extent that AGMH has received proceeds from the sale of replacement capital securities. The proceeds from this offering were used to pay a dividend to the shareholders of AGMH. Over the past several years AGUS purchased, and as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, AGUS holds approximately $154 million in principal of the AGMH Subordinated Debentures. Debt Maturity and Interest Expense Scheduled principal payments of the Company’s debt are as follows: Debt Maturity Schedule (1) As of December 31, 2024
Year |  | Principal
|  | (in millions)
2028 |  | $ | 350 |
2031 |  | 500 |

____________________ (1) Includes eliminations of AGMH’s debt purchased by AGUS. The Company’s interest expense was $91 million, $90 million and $81 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Committed Capital Securities AG has entered into put agreements with eight separate custodial trusts allowing it to issue an aggregate of $400 million of non-cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred securities to the trusts in exchange for cash. The arrangement entails eight custodial trusts (Woodbourne Capital Trust I, II, III and IV and Sutton Capital Trust I, II, III and IV), each of which issued $50 million face amount of “committed capital securities” and invested the proceeds of that issuance in eligible assets that would enable the trust to have the cash necessary to respond to AG’s exercise of a put option. The put option consists of a right that AG has, pursuant to separate put agreements that AG entered into with each of the trusts, to issue to each trust $50 million of non-cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, in exchange for an equivalent amount of cash (i.e., an aggregate of $400 million). When AG exercises its put option, the relevant trust(s) must liquidate the portfolio of high-quality, liquid assets that it currently maintains and use the liquidation proceeds to purchase AG preferred stock. The put agreements have no scheduled termination date or maturity, but may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events. None of the events that would give rise to a termination of the put agreements have occurred.
