our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes as of the issue date, and the notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries. The notes will
be guaranteed by certain of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (not including our insurance subsidiaries, other subsidiaries not permitted by law or regulation to guarantee the notes and certain
immaterial subsidiaries) only under limited circumstances. See "Description of the notes&#151;Certain covenants&#151;Future subsidiary guarantors." The notes will be issued only in

carefully because they describe our expectations, plans, strategies and goals and our beliefs concerning future business conditions, our results of operations, financial position, and our business

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are a leader in the development and sale of fixed index and fixed rate annuity products. We sell fixed index and fixed rate
annuities and life insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our business consists primarily of the sale of fixed index and fixed rate annuities, and our annuity sales for each of the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, before coinsurance, were $3.9&nbsp;billion. Our strategy is focused on growing our annuity business and earning
returns by managing investment spreads and investment risk. We had an investment portfolio of $29.2&nbsp;billion as of March&nbsp;31, 2013. For the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, we
generated total revenues of $1,724.0&nbsp;million, Operating Income of $113.9&nbsp;million and net income of $73.4&nbsp;million. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, we generated total
revenues of $1,588.6&nbsp;million, Operating Income of $110.2&nbsp;million and net income of $57.8&nbsp;million. See "&#151;Summary consolidated financial information" for a
reconciliation of Operating Income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
underwrite our fixed annuity and life insurance products through our wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries, American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company ("American Equity Life"), American
Equity Investment Life Insurance Company of New York and Eagle Life Insurance Company ("Eagle Life"). We market those products through a distribution network of approximately 60 national marketing
organizations and, through them, approximately 24,000 independent agents. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Annuity market overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our target market includes the group of individuals ages 45-75 who are seeking to accumulate tax-deferred
savings. We believe that significant growth opportunities exist for annuity products because of favorable demographic and economic trends. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were approximately
39&nbsp;million Americans age 65 and older in 2010, representing 13% of the U.S. population. By 2030, this sector of the population is expected to increase to 20% of the total population. Our fixed
index and fixed rate annuity products are particularly attractive to this group as a result of the guarantee of principal with respect to those products, competitive rates of credited interest,
tax-deferred growth and alternative payout options. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>According
to AnnuitySpec's Index Sales&nbsp;&amp; Market Report, total industry sales of fixed index annuities increased 27% to $34.0&nbsp;billion in 2012 from $26.8&nbsp;billion in 2008. Our wide
range of fixed index and fixed rate annuity products has enabled us to enjoy favorable growth during volatile equity and bond markets. </FONT></P>

and assets under management at a compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 26% and 18%, respectively, and have maintained attractive operating returns on equity. Our operating earnings are derived
primarily from our investment spread, which is the difference between what our investments yield and what we credit to policyholders. For at least the last five years, we have been a top three
provider of indexed annuities by annual sales, based on AnnuitySpec's Index Sales &amp; Market Report.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

required by our bank credit facility. Although we may adjust our targets as circumstances require, our current strategy is to seek to maintain an RBC ratio in the range of 300% to 350% and to maintain
a ratio of Adjusted Debt to total capitalization excluding accumulated other comprehensive income of no more than 25%. For more information on how we calculate these ratios, see "&#151;Summary

Equity Life paid $10&nbsp;million of cumulative dividends to the issuer, and American Equity Life retained the remainder of its earnings to support business growth. We also use reinsurance to

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:arial;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Enhance our current independent agency
network.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that our successful relationships with approximately 60 national marketing organizations represent a significant
competitive advantage. Our objective is to improve the productivity and efficiency of our core distribution channel by focusing our marketing and recruiting efforts on those independent agents capable
of selling $1&nbsp;million or more of annuity premium annually. This level of production qualifies them for our Gold Eagle program, which we introduced in 2007. We believe the Gold Eagle program has
been effective as evidenced by the number of qualified Gold Eagle agents during the last three calendar years ranging from 945 in 2012 to as many as 1,227 in 2011. Our Gold Eagle agents accounted for
59% of total production in 2012 and 57% of total production in 2011 and 2010. Gold Eagle qualifiers receive a combination of cash and equity-based incentives as motivation for producing business for
us. We believe the equity-based incentive compensation component of our Gold Eagle program is unique in our industry and distinguishes us from our competitors. Our continuing focus on relationships
and efficiency will ultimately reduce our independent agents to a core group of professional annuity producers. We also seek opportunities to establish relationships with national marketing
organizations and agents not presently associated with us and to provide all of our marketers with the highest quality service possible.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

and competitive products. We were one of the first companies to offer a fixed index annuity that allows a choice among interest crediting strategies that includes both equity and bond indices as well
as a traditional fixed rate strategy. We were also one of the first companies to include a living income benefit rider with our fixed index annuities. We enhanced our living income benefit rider to
provide policyholders with protection against inflation and an additional death benefit. We believe that our continued focus on anticipating and responding to the product needs of our independent
agents and policyholders will lead to increased customer loyalty, revenues and profitability.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

success has been challenged in the current extended low interest rate environment. However, we intend to continue to leverage our experience and expertise in managing the investment spread during a
range of interest rate environments to achieve, or work towards achieving, our targeted spreads. The target investment spread for our products ranges from 250 to 310 basis points. Our investment
spread declined from 314 basis points in the first quarter of 2011 to 259 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2012. We have undertaken initiatives to increase our investment spread to 300 basis
points, including managing crediting rates to policyholders and reinvesting excess cash balances. As a result of these </FONT></DD></DL>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fixed index annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed index annuities allow policyholders to earn index credits based on the performance of a particular index without the risk of loss of their
principal. Most of these products allow policyholders to transfer funds once a year among several different crediting strategies, including one or more index based strategies and a traditional fixed
rate strategy. Approximately 97%, 97%, 95% and 95% of our fixed index annuity sales for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, and the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, were "premium bonus" products. The initial annuity deposit on these policies is increased at issuance by a specified premium bonus ranging from 3% to 10%. Generally, there is a
compensating adjustment in the surrender charges on the policy or the commission paid to the agent to offset the premium bonus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
annuity contract value is equal to the sum of premiums paid, premium bonuses and interest credited ("index credits"), which is based upon an overall limit (or "cap") or a percentage (the
"participation rate") of the annual appreciation (based in certain situations on monthly averages or monthly point-to-point calculations) in a recognized index or benchmark.
Caps and participation rates limit the amount of annual interest the policyholder may earn in any one contract year and may be adjusted by us annually subject to stated minimums. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fixed rate annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed rate deferred annuities include annual reset and multi-year rate guaranteed products. Our annual reset fixed rate annuities have an
annual interest rate (the "crediting rate") that is guaranteed for the first policy year. After the first policy year, we have the discretionary ability to change the crediting rate once annually to
any rate at or above a guaranteed minimum rate. Our multi-year rate guaranteed annuities are similar to our annual reset products except that the initial crediting rate is guaranteed for
up to a seven-year period before it may be changed at our discretion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
initial crediting rate is largely a function of the interest rate we can earn on invested assets acquired with new annuity deposits and the rates offered on similar products by our competitors.
For subsequent adjustments to crediting rates, we take into account the yield on our investment portfolio, annuity surrender assumptions, competitive industry pricing and crediting rate history for
particular groups of annuity policies with similar characteristics. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Single premium immediate annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We also sell single premium immediate annuities ("SPIAs"). Our SPIAs are designed to provide a series of periodic payments for a fixed period of time
or for life, according to the policyholder's choice at the time of issue. The amounts, frequency and length of time of the payments are fixed at the outset of the annuity contract. SPIAs are often
purchased by persons at or near retirement age who desire a steady stream of payments over a future period of years. The implicit interest rate on SPIAs is based on market conditions when the policy
is issued. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Withdrawal options&#151;fixed index and fixed rate annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

the policy is issued. This surrender charge initially ranges from 4.7% to 20% for fixed index annuities and 8% to 25% for fixed rate annuities of the contract value and generally decreases by
approximately one to two percentage points per year during the surrender charge period. Surrender charges are set at levels aimed at protecting us from loss on early terminations and reducing the
likelihood of policyholders terminating their policies during periods of increasing interest rates. This practice lengthens the effective duration of the policy liabilities and enhances our ability to
maintain profitability on such policies. The policyholder may elect to take the proceeds of the annuity either in a single payment or in a series of payments for life, for a fixed number of years or a
combination of these payment options. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Beginning
in July 2007, substantially all of our fixed index annuity policies were issued with a lifetime income benefit rider. This rider provides an additional liquidity option to policyholders.
With the lifetime income benefit rider, a policyholder can elect to receive guaranteed payments for life from their contract without requiring them to annuitize their contract value. The amount of the
living income benefit available is determined by the growth in the policy's income account value as defined in the rider (4.5% to 8.0%) and the policyholder's age at the time the policyholder elects
to begin receiving living income benefit payments. Living income benefit payments may be stopped and restarted at the election of the policyholder. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>These products include traditional ordinary and term, universal life and other interest-sensitive life insurance products. We have approximately
$2.4&nbsp;billion of life insurance in force as of March&nbsp;31, 2013. We intend to continue offering life insurance products for individual and group markets. Premiums related to this business
accounted for 1% or less of revenues for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Investments and spread management  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Investment activities are an integral part of our business, and net investment income is a significant component of our total
revenues. Profitability of many of
our products is significantly affected by spreads between interest yields on investments, the cost of options to fund the annual index credits on our fixed index annuities and the rates credited on
our fixed rate annuities. We manage the index-based risk component of our fixed index annuities by purchasing call options on the applicable indices to fund the annual index credits on these annuities
and by adjusting the caps, participation rates and asset fees on policy anniversary dates to reflect the change in the cost of such options which varies based on market conditions. All options are
purchased to fund the index credits on our fixed index annuities on their respective anniversary dates, and new options are purchased at each of the anniversary dates to fund the next annual index
credits. All crediting rates on non-multi-year rate guaranteed fixed rate deferred annuities may be changed annually, subject to minimum guarantees. Changes in caps,
participation rates and asset fees on fixed index annuities and crediting rates on fixed rate annuities may not be sufficient to maintain targeted investment spreads in all economic and market
environments. In addition, competition and other factors, including the potential for increases in surrenders and withdrawals, may limit our ability to adjust or to maintain caps, participation rates,
asset fees and crediting rates at levels necessary to avoid narrowing of spreads under certain market conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Marketing  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We market our products through a variable cost brokerage distribution network of approximately 60 national marketing organizations
and, through them, approximately 24,000 independent agents. We emphasize high quality service to our agents and policyholders along with the prompt payment of commissions to our agents. We believe
this has been significant in building excellent relationships with our existing agency force. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
actively recruit new agents and terminate those agents who have not produced business for us in recent periods and are unlikely to sell our products in the future. In our recruitment efforts, we
emphasize that agents have direct access to our executive officers, giving us an edge in recruiting over larger and foreign-owned competitors. We also emphasize our products, service and our Gold
Eagle program which provides unique cash and equity-based incentives to those agents selling $1&nbsp;million or more of annuity premium annually. Our Gold Eagle agents accounted for 59% of total
production in 2012 and 57% of total production in 2011 and 2010. We also have favorable relationships with our national marketing organizations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
insurance distribution system is comprised of insurance brokers and marketing organizations. We are pursuing a strategy to increase the efficiency of our distribution network by strengthening our
relationships with key national and regional marketing organizations, and we seek opportunities to establish relationships with organizations not presently associated with us. These organizations
typically recruit agents for us by advertising our products and our commission structure through direct mail advertising or seminars for insurance agents and brokers. These organizations bear most of
the cost incurred in marketing our products. We compensate marketing organizations by paying them a percentage of the commissions earned on new annuity policy sales generated by the agents recruited
by such organizations. We also conduct incentive programs for marketing organizations and agents from time to time, including equity-based programs for our leading national marketers and those agents
qualifying for our Gold Eagle program. We generally do not enter into exclusive arrangements with these marketing organizations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, we formed our Eagle Life subsidiary with the goal of developing a network of broker-dealer firms and registered investment advisors to distribute our fixed index annuity products. We
believe this to be the most effective means of building a core distribution channel of selling firms with representatives capable of selling $1&nbsp;million or more of annuity premium annually. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Three
of our national marketing organizations accounted for more than 10% of the annuity deposits and insurance premiums collected during 2012, and we expect these organizations to continue as
marketers for American Equity Life with a focus on selling our products. The states </FONT></P>

"December 2024 Notes"). Holders of $25.8&nbsp;million principal amount of the December 2024 Notes exercised their conversion rights prior to the April&nbsp;30, 2013 mandatory redemption date. The
holders of these December 2024 Notes received the principal amount of their December 2024 Notes in cash and the conversion premium in shares of our common stock. The final number of shares issued in
connection with the exercise of conversion rights of the December 2024 Notes was 216,729. The balance of the convertible notes ($2.5&nbsp;million principal amount) was redeemed for cash. In
connection with the redemption, on May&nbsp;14, 2013, we drew $15.0&nbsp;million on our existing revolving credit facility (our "existing revolving credit facility"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The following table sets forth our summary consolidated financial information as of and for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012,
2011 and 2010 and as of and for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012. The information as of and for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was derived from our
audited annual consolidated
financial statements. The information as of and for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012 was derived from our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and includes, in the
opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the information for such periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
summary unaudited historical statements of operations and other financial data for the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 have been calculated by subtracting the applicable unaudited
consolidated statements of operations and other financial data for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 from the sum of (1)&nbsp;the applicable audited consolidated statements of operations
data for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and (2)&nbsp;the applicable unaudited consolidated statements of operations data for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>You
should read the following summary consolidated financial information together with "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" and our audited
consolidated financial statements and unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>

statement of operations and other financial data for the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 have been calculated in the manner described in the introduction to the table.
This presentation is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We believe that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding our recent
financial performance, and we view this presentation of the four most recently completed quarters as a key measurement period for investors to assess our historical results. In addition, our
management uses trailing four-quarter financial information to evaluate the financial performance of the company for ongoing planning purposes. This presentation has limitations as an
analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition to net income, we have consistently utilized Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the life insurance industry, as an economic
measure to evaluate our financial performance. Operating Income equals net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments, including net OTTI losses recognized
in operations, fair value changes in derivatives and embedded derivatives, (gain) loss on extinguishment of convertible debt and litigation reserves. Because these items fluctuate from year to year in
a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of Operating Income
together with net income provides information that may enhance an investor's understanding of our underlying results and profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">Operating Income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments made to derive
Operating Income are important to understanding our overall results from operations, and, if evaluated without proper context, Operating Income possesses material
limitations:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">Therefore, our management and board of directors also separately review net realized investment gains (losses) and

examine net income as part of their review of our overall financial results. The adjustments made to net income to arrive at Operating Income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012,
for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and for the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 are set forth in the table above. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">In addition to total debt in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, as an
alternate measure of our leverage. Adjusted Debt is the sum of notes payable and the portion of total subordinated debentures payable to statutory trusts outstanding that exceeds 15% of total
capitalization excluding AOCI. Because rating agencies and certain analysts and investors give equity credit to a portion of our subordinated debentures in analyzing our leverage and financial
condition, we use Adjusted Debt as a supplemental measure in evaluating our leverage. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">Total capitalization excluding AOCI, a non-GAAP financial measure, is the sum of total debt and total
stockholders' equity </FONT><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;"><I>minus</I></FONT><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;"> AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale
investments, we believe that total capitalization excluding AOCI provides useful supplemental information in evaluating our total capitalization. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">In addition, our existing revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a ratio of Adjusted Debt to total
capitalization excluding AOCI below a specified level. We also use these measures, therefore, in evaluating our leverage and ongoing compliance with our existing revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">The table below demonstrates how we calculate Adjusted Debt and sets forth a reconciliation of our Adjusted Debt to our

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=4><B>  Risk factors  <BR>  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, and in consultation with your own
financial and legal advisors, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement (including the
risk factors contained under the heading "Risk factors" in our annual report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012). The risks and uncertainties described below
and incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become material factors
that affect us. If any of the following risks or those incorporated by reference herein occur or intensify, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected. If this were to happen, the value of the notes could decline significantly, and you may lose some or all of your investment. In connection with the forward-looking statements that appear in
this prospectus supplement, you should also carefully review the cautionary statements under "Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Risks related to the notes  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Despite our current debt levels, we may still incur substantially more debt or take other actions which would intensify the risks discussed below.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our level of indebtedness will increase as a result of this offering, even after the use of the net proceeds of the offering to purchase debt
securities in the Exchange Offer. As of March&nbsp;31, 2013, after giving effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom (including the Exchange Offer), our total debt would have been
approximately $719.6&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Despite
our current consolidated debt levels, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in our debt instruments. We
will not be restricted under the terms of the indenture governing the notes from incurring additional debt, recapitalizing our debt or taking a number of other actions that are not limited by the
terms of the indenture governing the notes that could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the notes when due. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with
the notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding
up of our company. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. These restrictions also will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, we expect to repay all amounts outstanding under our existing revolving credit facility in connection with the issuance of the notes. Our existing revolving credit agreement expires in
2014, and we anticipate (though we can give no assurances) that we will enter into a new senior term loan and/or revolving credit facility to meet our working capital needs. Any new facility may
(1)&nbsp;contain covenants that limit the discretion of our management with respect to certain business matters, and (2)&nbsp;require us to meet certain financial ratios and financial condition
tests. </FONT></P>

sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets,
restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our

subsidiaries, which are not expected to guarantee the notes, except under the limited circumstances described in "Description of the notes&#151;Certain covenants&#151;Future subsidiary

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We depend on our insurance subsidiaries for cash to make principal and interest payments on debt and to pay administrative expenses and income taxes.
We receive cash from our insurance subsidiaries, consisting of dividends and distributions, fees earned under investment advisory agreements, principal and interest payments on surplus debentures and
tax-sharing payments, as well as cash from our non-insurance subsidiaries consisting of dividends, distributions, loans and advances. Deterioration in the financial condition,
earnings or cash flow of these significant subsidiaries for any reason could hinder the ability of such subsidiaries to pay cash dividends or other disbursements to American Equity, which would limit
our ability to meet our debt service requirements, including our obligations under the notes, and satisfy other financial obligations. In addition, we may elect to contribute additional capital to
certain insurance subsidiaries to strengthen their surplus for covenant compliance or regulatory purposes (including, for example, maintaining adequate RBC levels) or to provide the capital necessary
for growth, in which case it is less likely that our insurance subsidiaries would pay us dividends. Accordingly, this could limit our ability to meet debt service requirements and satisfy other
holding company financial obligations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
payment of dividends or surplus debenture interest by our insurance subsidiaries to American Equity is subject to state insurance department regulations and may be prohibited by insurance
regulators if they determine that such dividends or other payments could be adverse to our policyholders or contract holders. Insurance regulations generally permit dividends to be paid from statutory
earned surplus of the insurance company without regulatory approval for any twelve-month period in amounts equal to the greater of (or in a few states, the lesser of):</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>This
type of dividend is referred to as an "ordinary dividend." In the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, our insurance subsidiaries paid no ordinary dividends, and for 2013, up to
$165.6&nbsp;million can be distributed as ordinary dividends. Any dividend in excess of these levels requires the approval of the director or commissioner of the applicable state insurance
department and is referred to as an "extraordinary dividend." In the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, our insurance subsidiaries paid no extraordinary dividends to American Equity. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, although we are under no obligation to do so, we may elect to contribute additional capital to strengthen the surplus of certain insurance subsidiaries for covenant compliance or
regulatory purposes or to provide the capital necessary for growth. Any election regarding the contribution of additional capital to our insurance subsidiaries could affect the ability of our
insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends. The ability of our insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends is also impacted by various criteria established by rating agencies to maintain or receive higher
financial strength ratings and by the capital levels that we target for our insurance subsidiaries, as well as RBC and statutory capital and surplus compliance requirements under our existing
revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The notes are a new issue of securities, and there is no existing trading market for the notes. Although the underwriters have informed us that they
intend to make a market in the notes, they have no obligation to do so and may discontinue making a market at any time without notice. As a result, a liquid market may not develop for the notes, and
you may not be able to sell your notes when you wish to sell them, or the prices that you receive when you sell the notes may not be favorable. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on
any securities exchange. If a market for the notes does not develop, you may not be able to resell your notes for an extended period of time, if at all. Moreover, if markets for the notes do develop
in the future, these markets may not continue indefinitely, and the notes may not be sold at a price equal to or greater than their initial offering price. In addition, in response to prevailing
interest rates and market conditions generally, as well as our performance, the notes could trade at a price lower than their initial offering price. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of such holder's
notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such repurchase. If a Change of Control occurs, we may not have sufficient
financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes, or the terms of other indebtedness may preclude us from doing so. Our failure to repurchase the notes as required
under the indenture governing the notes would result in a default under the indenture that could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. In order to avoid the
obligations to repurchase the notes and events of default and potential breaches of our existing revolving credit facility and other indebtedness, we may have to avoid certain change of control
transactions that would otherwise be beneficial to us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations, may not, under the indenture that will govern the notes, constitute a "change of control" that would require us to
repurchase the notes, even though those corporate events could increase the level of our indebtedness or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure, credit ratings or the value of the notes. See
"Description of the notes&#151;Change of control." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Holders of the notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of
"substantially all" of our assets.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>One of the circumstances under which a change of control may occur is upon the sale or disposition of "all or substantially all" of our assets. There
is no precise established definition of the phrase "substantially all" under applicable law, and the interpretation of that phrase will likely depend upon particular facts and circumstances.
Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale of less than all our assets to another person may be uncertain. </FONT></P>

the notes or that subsidiary guarantee, could subordinate the notes or that subsidiary guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of ours or of the related subsidiary guarantor or could
require the holders of the notes to repay any amounts received with respect to that subsidiary guarantee. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not
receive any repayment on the notes. Further, the avoidance of the notes could result in an event of default with respect to our and our subsidiaries' other debt that could result in acceleration of
that debt. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Finally,
as a court of equity, the bankruptcy court may subordinate the claims in respect of the notes to other claims against us under the principle of equitable subordination if the court determines
that (1)&nbsp;the holder of notes engaged in some type of inequitable conduct, (2)&nbsp;the inequitable conduct resulted in injury to our other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We are exposed to significant financial and capital risk, including changing interest rates, credit spreads and equity prices which may have an adverse effect on sales of

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>Interest rate and credit spread risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>Our interest rate risk is related to market price and changes in cash flow. Substantial and sustained
increases and decreases in market interest rates can materially and adversely affect the profitability of our products, our ability to earn predictable returns, the fair value of our investments and
the reported value of stockholders' equity. A rise in interest rates, in the absence of other countervailing changes, will decrease the unrealized gain position of our investment portfolio and may
result in an unrealized loss position. With respect to our available for sale fixed maturity securities, such declines in value (net of income taxes and certain adjustments for assumed changes in
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements) reduce our reported stockholders' equity and book value per share. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
interest rates rise dramatically within a short period of time, our business may be exposed to disintermediation risk. Disintermediation risk is the risk that our policyholders may surrender all or
part of their contracts in a rising interest rate environment, which may require us to sell assets in an unrealized loss position. Alternatively, we may increase crediting rates to retain business and
reduce the level of assets that may need to be sold at a loss. However, such action would reduce our investment spread and net income. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
hold an amount of fixed maturity securities that are callable by the issuer prior to maturity, and since 2008, we have received significant amounts of redemption proceeds related to calls of
securities issued by United States Government sponsored agencies. We have reinvested the proceeds from these redemptions into new securities issued by such agencies, corporate securities and
securities issued by United States municipalities, states and territories. The callable United States Government sponsored agencies that we own / purchase typically provide for 12&nbsp;months of
call protection, after which they may be called on the first anniversary of the issue date, or any semi-annual or annual redemption date thereafter. As such, at any financial reporting
date, substantially all of the securities we own issued by United States Government sponsored agencies that are not residential mortgage-backed securities are callable by the respective agency within
12&nbsp;months. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Due
to the long-term nature of our annuity liabilities, sustained declines in long-term interest rates may result in increased redemptions of our fixed maturity securities that
are subject to call redemption prior to maturity by the issuer and expose us to reinvestment risk. If we are unable to reinvest the proceeds from such redemptions into investments with credit quality
and yield characteristics of the redeemed securities, our net income and overall financial performance may be adversely affected. We have a certain ability to mitigate this risk by lowering crediting
rates on our products subject to certain restrictions as discussed below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
exposure to credit spreads is related to market price and changes in cash flows related to changes in credit spreads. If credit spreads widen significantly it would probably lead to additional
other than temporary impairments. If credit spreads tighten significantly it could result in reduced net investment income associated with new purchases of fixed maturity securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>Credit risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>We are subject to the risk that the issuers of our fixed maturity securities and other debt securities and borrowers on our
commercial mortgages will default on principal and interest payments, particularly if a major downturn in economic activity occurs. An increase in defaults on our fixed maturity securities and
commercial mortgage loan portfolios could harm our financial strength and reduce our profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Credit
and cash flow assumption risk is the risk that issuers of securities, mortgagees on mortgage loans or other parties, including reinsurers and derivatives counterparties, default on their
contractual obligations or experience adverse changes to their contractual cash flow streams. We attempt to minimize the adverse impact of this risk by monitoring portfolio diversification by asset
class, creditor, industry, and by complying with investment limitations contained in state insurance laws and regulations as applicable. We also consider all relevant objective information available
in estimating the cash flows related to residential and
commercial mortgage-backed securities. We monitor and manage exposures to determine whether securities are impaired or loans are deemed uncollectible. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
use derivative instruments to fund the annual credits on our fixed index annuities. We purchase derivative instruments, consisting primarily of one-year call options, from a number of
counterparties. Our policy is to acquire such options only from counterparties rated "A-" or better by a nationally recognized rating agency, and the maximum credit exposure to any single
counterparty is subject to concentration limits. In addition, we have entered into credit support agreements which allow us to require posting of collateral by our counterparties to secure their
obligations to us under the derivative instruments. If our counterparties fail to honor their obligations under the derivative instruments, our revenues may not be sufficient to fund the annual index
credits on our fixed index annuities. Any such failure could harm our financial strength and reduce our profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>Liquidity risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>We could have difficulty selling our commercial mortgage loans because they are less liquid than our publicly traded
securities. If we require significant amounts of cash on short notice, we may have difficulty selling these loans at attractive prices or in a timely manner, or both. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fluctuations in interest rates and investment spread could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A key component of our net income is the investment spread. A narrowing of investment spreads may adversely affect operating results. Although we
have the right to adjust interest crediting rates (cap, participation or asset fee rates for fixed index annuities) on most products, changes to crediting rates may not be sufficient to maintain
targeted investment spreads in all economic and market environments. In general, our ability to lower crediting rates is subject to minimum crediting rates filed with and approved by state regulators.
In addition, competition and other factors, including the potential for increases in surrenders and withdrawals, may limit our ability to adjust or maintain crediting rates at levels necessary to
avoid the narrowing of spreads under certain market conditions. Our policy structure generally provides for resetting of policy crediting rates at least annually and imposes surrender charges for
withdrawals during the first 3 to 17&nbsp;years a policy is in force. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Managing
the investment spread on our fixed index annuities is more complex than it is for fixed rate annuity products. We manage the index-based risk component of our fixed index annuities by
purchasing call options on the applicable indices to fund the annual index credits on these annuities and by adjusting the caps, participation rates and asset fees on policy anniversary dates to
reflect changes in the cost of such options which varies based on market conditions. The price of such options generally increases with increases in the volatility in both the indices and interest
rates, which may either narrow the spread or cause us to lower caps or participation rates. Thus, the volatility of the indices adds an additional degree of uncertainty to the profitability of the
index products. We attempt to mitigate this risk by resetting caps, participation rates and asset fees annually on the policy anniversaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Persistent environment of low interest rates affects and may continue to negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Prolonged periods of low interest rates may have a negative impact on our ability to sell our fixed index annuities as consumers look for other
savings instruments with potentially higher yields to fund retirement. In times of low interest rates, such as we have been experiencing since 2010 and which we expect to continue to experience in
2013, it is difficult to offer attractive rates and benefits to customers while maintaining profitability, which may limit sales growth of interest sensitive products. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Sustained
declines in interest rates may subject us to lower returns on our invested assets, and we have had to and may have to continue to reinvest the cash we receive from premiums and interest or
return of principal on our investments in instruments with yields less than those we currently own. This may reduce our future net investment income and compress the spread on our annuity products.
Further, borrowers may prepay fixed maturity securities in order to borrow at lower market rates. Any related prepayment fees are recorded in net investment income and may create income statement
volatility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> An environment of rising interest rates may materially affect our liquidity and financial condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Periods of rising interest rates may cause increased policy surrenders, withdrawals and requests for policy loans on deferred annuity products, as
policyholders seek investments with higher returns, commonly referred to as disintermediation. This may lead to net cash outflows and the resulting liquidity demands may require us to sell investment
assets when the prices of those assets are adversely affected by the increase in interest rates, which may result in realized investment losses. Further, a portion of our investment portfolio consists
of commercial mortgage loans and privately placed securities, which are relatively illiquid, thus increasing our liquidity risk in the event of disintermediation. We may also be required to accelerate
the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements related to surrendered contracts, which would adversely affect our results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
such times, we may offer higher crediting rates on new sales of annuity products and increase crediting rates on existing annuity products to maintain or enhance product competitiveness. We may
not be able to purchase enough higher yielding assets necessary to fund higher crediting rates and maintain our desired spread, which could result in lower profitability on our in force business. In
rising interest rate environments, especially when interest rates are rapidly rising, it may be difficult to position our products to offer attractive rates and benefits to customers while maintaining
profitability, which may limit sales growth of interest sensitive products. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our valuation of fixed maturity and equity securities may include methodologies, estimates and assumptions which are subject to differing interpretations and could result in
changes to investment valuations that may materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed maturity securities and equity securities are reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. During periods of market disruption
including periods of significantly rising or high interest rates, rapidly widening credit spreads or illiquidity, it may be difficult to value certain of our securities if trading becomes less
frequent and/or market data becomes less observable. Prices provided by independent broker quotes or independent pricing services that are used in the determination of fair value can vary
significantly for a particular security. There may be certain asset classes that were trading in active markets with significant observable data that become illiquid due to the current financial
environment. As such, valuations may include inputs and assumptions that are less observable or require greater judgment as well as valuation methods that require greater judgment. Further, rapidly
changing and unprecedented credit and equity market conditions could materially impact the
valuation of securities as reported in our consolidated financial statements and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Decreases in value may have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Defaults on commercial mortgage loans and volatility in performance may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Commercial mortgage loans face heightened delinquency and default risk due to recent economic conditions which have had a negative impact on the
performance of the underlying collateral, resulting in declining values and an adverse impact on the obligors of such instruments. An increase in the default rate of our commercial mortgage loan
investments could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, environmental conditions at properties securing our commercial loans may impair
the value of our collateral or prevent us from foreclosing on some properties. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, the carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is negatively impacted by such factors. The carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is stated at outstanding principal less any loan
loss allowances recognized. Considerations in determining allowances include, but are
not limited to, the following: (i)&nbsp;declining debt service coverage ratios and increasing loan to value ratios; (ii)&nbsp;bankruptcy filings of major tenants or affiliates of the borrower on
the property; (iii)&nbsp;catastrophic events at the property; and (iv)&nbsp;other subjective events or factors, including whether the terms of the debt will be restructured. There can be no
assurance that management's assessment of loan loss allowances on commercial mortgage loans will not change in future periods, which could lead to investment losses. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We remain vulnerable to market uncertainty and continued financial instability of national, state and local governments. Continued difficult conditions in the global capital
markets and economy could deteriorate in the near future and affect our financial position and our level of earnings from our operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Recovery from the most recent recession in the United States has proven to be slow and long-term. High unemployment rates and lower
average household income levels have emerged as continued lagging indicators of a slow economic recovery. The continuing market uncertainty has directly and materially affected our investment
portfolio. One of the strategies used by the U.S. government to stimulate the economy has been to keep interest rates low and increase the supply of United States dollars. While these strategies have
appeared to be somewhat successful, any future economic downturn or market disruption could negatively impact our ability to invest funds. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are subject to extensive laws and regulations that are administered and enforced by a number of different regulatory authorities including state
insurance regulators, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Some of these authorities are or may in the future consider enhanced or new
regulatory requirements intended to prevent future economic crises or otherwise assure the stability of institutions under their supervision. These authorities may also seek to exercise their
supervisory or enforcement authority in new or more robust ways. All of these possibilities, if they occurred, could affect the way we conduct our business and manage our capital, and may require us
to satisfy increased capital requirements, any of which in turn could materially affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We face competition from companies that have greater financial resources, broader arrays of products, higher ratings and stronger financial performance, which may impair our

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We operate in a highly competitive industry. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and enjoy substantially greater financial resources,
higher ratings by rating agencies, broader and more diversified product lines and more widespread agency relationships. Our annuity products compete with index, fixed rate and variable annuities sold
by other insurance companies and also with mutual fund products, traditional bank investments and other retirement funding alternatives offered by asset managers, banks and broker-dealers. Our
insurance products compete with those of other insurance companies, financial intermediaries and other institutions based on a number of factors, including premium rates, policy terms and conditions,
service provided to distribution channels and policyholders, ratings by rating agencies, reputation and commission structures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
ability to compete depends in part on returns and other benefits we make available to our policyholders through our annuity contracts. We will not be able to accumulate and retain assets under
management for our products if our investment results underperform the market or the competition, since such underperformance likely would result in asset withdrawals and reduced sales. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
compete for distribution sources for our products. We believe that our success in competing for distributors depends on our financial strength, the services we provide to and the relationships we
develop with these distributors, as well as offering competitive commission structures. Our distributors are generally free to sell products from whichever providers they wish, which makes it
important for us to continually offer distributors products and services they find attractive. If our products or services fall short of distributors' needs, we may not be able to establish and
maintain satisfactory relationships with distributors of our annuity and life insurance products. Our ability to compete in the past has also depended in part on our ability to develop innovative new
products and bring them to market more quickly than our competitors. In order for us to compete in the future, we will need to continue to bring innovative products to market in a timely fashion.
Otherwise, our revenues and profitability could suffer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our reinsurance program involves risks because we remain liable with respect to the liabilities ceded to reinsurers if the reinsurers fail to meet the obligations assumed by
them.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our life insurance subsidiaries cede certain policies to other insurance companies through reinsurance agreements. American Equity Life has entered
into
two coinsurance agreements with EquiTrust Life Insurance Company ("EquiTrust") covering $1.0&nbsp;billion of policy benefit reserves at March&nbsp;31, 2013 and into two funds withheld coinsurance
agreements with Athene Life Re&nbsp;Ltd. ("Athene"), an unauthorized life reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda, covering $1.9 billion of policy benefit reserves at March&nbsp;31, 2013. Since Athene is
an unauthorized reinsurer, the annuity deposits that have been ceded to Athene are held in a trust on a funds withheld basis. The funds withheld are required to remain at a value that is sufficient to
support the current balance of policy benefit liabilities of the ceded business on a statutory basis. If the value of the funds withheld would ever reach a point where it is less than the amount of
the ceded policy benefit liabilities on a statutory basis, Athene is required to either establish a letter of credit or deposit securities to the funds withheld for the amount of any shortfall. We
remain liable with respect to the policy liabilities ceded to EquiTrust and Athene should either fail to meet the obligations assumed by them. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, we have entered into other types of reinsurance contracts including indemnity reinsurance and financing arrangements. Should any of these reinsurers fail to meet the obligations assumed
under such contracts, we remain liable with respect to the liabilities ceded. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Further,
no assurances can be made that reinsurance will remain continuously available to us to the same extent and on the same terms as are currently available. If we were unable to maintain our
current level of reinsurance or purchase new reinsurance protection in amounts that we consider sufficient and at prices that we consider acceptable, we would have to accept an increase in our net
liability exposure, reduce the amount of business we write, or develop other alternatives to reinsurance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>All of our derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, are recognized in the balance sheet at their
fair values and changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings. This impacts certain revenues and expenses we report for our fixed index annuity business as
follows:</FONT></P>

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:arial;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We must present the call options purchased to fund the annual index credits on our fixed index annuity products at fair
value. The fair value of the call options is based upon the amount of cash that would be required to settle the call options obtained from the counterparties adjusted for the nonperformance risk of
the counterparty. We record the change in fair value of these options as a component of our revenues. The change in fair value of derivatives includes the gains or losses recognized at expiration of
the option term or upon early termination and changes in fair value for open positions. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2>
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:arial;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The contractual obligations for future annual index credits are treated as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the
expected life of the applicable contracts. Increases or decreases in the fair value of embedded derivatives generally correspond to increases or decreases in equity market performance and changes in
the interest rates used to discount the excess of the projected policy contract values over the projected minimum guaranteed contract values. We record the change in fair value of these embedded
derivatives as a component of our benefits and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
application of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives in future periods to our fixed index annuity business may cause substantial volatility in our reported net income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may face unanticipated losses if there are significant deviations from our assumptions regarding the probabilities that our annuity contracts will remain in force from
one period to the next.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The expected future profitability of our annuity products is based in part upon expected patterns of premiums, expenses and benefits using a number
of assumptions, including those related to the probability that a policy or contract will remain in force, or persistency, and mortality. Since no insurer can precisely determine persistency or
mortality, actual results could differ significantly from assumptions, and deviations from estimates and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations. For example, actual persistency that is lower than our assumptions could have an adverse impact on future profitability, especially in the early years of a policy or contract
primarily because we would be required to accelerate the amortization of expenses we deferred in connection with the acquisition of the policy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, we set initial crediting rates for our annuity products based upon expected claims and payment patterns, using assumptions for, among other factors, mortality rates of our policyholders.
The long-term profitability of these products depends upon how our actual experience compares with our pricing assumptions. For example, if mortality rates are lower than our pricing
assumptions, we could be required to make more payments under certain annuity contracts in addition to what we had projected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> If our estimated gross profits change significantly from initial expectations we may be required to expense our deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales
inducements in an accelerated manner, which would reduce our profitability.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Deferred policy acquisition costs represent costs that vary with and primarily relate to the acquisition of new business. Deferred sales inducements
are contract enhancements such as first-year premium and interest bonuses that are credited to policyholder account balances. These costs are capitalized when incurred and are amortized
over the life of the contracts. Current amortization of these costs is generally in proportion to expected gross profits from interest margins and, to a lesser extent, from surrender charges.
Unfavorable experience with regard to expected expenses, investment returns, mortality or withdrawals may cause acceleration of the amortization of these costs resulting in an increase of expenses and
lower profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> If we do not manage our growth effectively, our financial performance could be adversely affected; our historical growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We have experienced rapid growth since our formation in December 1995. We intend to continue to grow by recruiting new independent agents, increasing
the productivity of our existing agents, expanding our insurance distribution network, developing new products, expanding into new product lines, and continuing to develop new incentives for our sales
agents. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on our management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional
employees, including management. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in expanding our business or that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations
as they expand. In addition, due to our rapid growth and resulting increased size, it may be necessary to expand the scope of our investing activities to asset classes in which we historically have
not invested or have not had significant exposure. If we are unable to adequately manage our investments in these classes, our financial condition or operating results in the future could be less
favorable than in the past. Further, we have utilized reinsurance in the past to support our growth. The future availability and cost of reinsurance is uncertain. Our failure to manage growth
effectively, or our inability to recruit, maintain and integrate additional qualified employees and independent agents, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations. In addition, due to our rapid growth, our historical growth rates are not likely to accurately reflect our future growth rates or our growth potential. We cannot assure you that
our future revenues will increase or that we will continue to be profitable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The loss of key employees could disrupt our operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our success depends in part on the continued service of key executives and our ability to attract and retain additional executives and employees. We
do not have employment agreements with our executive officers. The loss of key employees, or our inability to recruit and retain additional qualified personnel, could cause disruption in our business
and prevent us from fully implementing our business strategies, which could materially and adversely affect our business, growth and profitability. </FONT></P>

our financial condition and results of operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our information technology (IT). We rely on IT throughout our business for a variety
of functions, including processing claims and applications, providing information to policyholders and distributors, performing actuarial analyses and maintaining financial records. Despite the
implementation of security and back-up measures, our IT may be vulnerable to physical or electronic intrusions, computer viruses or other attacks, programming errors and similar disruptive
problems. The failure of controls and/or disaster recovery plans surrounding our IT for any reason could cause significant interruptions to our operations, which could result in a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
retain confidential information within our IT, and we rely on sophisticated commercial technologies to maintain the security of those systems. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures
and penetrate our IT could access, view, misappropriate, alter, or delete any information in the systems, including personally identifiable policyholder information and proprietary business
information. In addition, an increasing number of states and foreign countries require that persons be notified if a security breach results in the disclosure of personally identifiable customer
information. Any compromise of the security of our computer systems that results in inappropriate disclosure of personally identifiable customer information could damage our reputation in the
marketplace, deter people from purchasing our products, subject us to significant civil and criminal liability and require us to incur significant technical, legal and other expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> If we are unable to attract and retain national marketing organizations and independent agents, sales of our products may be reduced.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We distribute our annuity products through a variable cost distribution network which includes over 60 national marketing organizations and
approximately 24,000 independent agents. We must attract and retain such marketers and agents to sell our products. Insurance companies compete vigorously for productive agents. We compete with other
life insurance companies for marketers and agents primarily on the basis of our financial position, support services, compensation and product features. Such marketers and agents may promote products
offered by other life insurance companies that may offer a larger variety of products than we do. Our competitiveness for such marketers and agents also depends upon the long-term
relationships we develop with them. If we are unable to attract and retain sufficient marketers and agents to sell our products, our ability to compete and our revenues would suffer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may require additional capital to support our business and sustained future growth which may not be available when needed or may be available only on unfavorable terms.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our long-term strategic capital requirements will depend on many factors including the accumulated statutory earnings of our life
insurance subsidiaries and the relationship between the statutory capital and surplus of our life insurance subsidiaries and various elements of required capital. To support long-term
capital requirements, we may need to increase or maintain the statutory capital and surplus of our life insurance subsidiaries through additional financings, which could include debt, equity,
financing arrangements and/or other surplus relief transactions. Adverse market conditions have affected and continue to affect the availability </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Changes in state and federal regulation may affect our profitability.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are subject to regulation under applicable insurance statutes, including insurance holding company statutes, in the various states in which our
life insurance subsidiaries transact business. Our life insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in New York and Iowa. We are currently licensed to sell our products in 50 states and the District of
Columbia. Insurance regulation is intended to provide safeguards for policyholders rather than to protect shareholders of insurance companies or their holding companies. As increased scrutiny has been
placed upon the insurance regulatory framework, a number of state legislatures have considered or enacted legislative proposals that alter, and in many cases increase, state authority to regulate
insurance companies and holding company systems. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Regulators
oversee matters relating to trade practices, policy forms, claims practices, guaranty funds, types and amounts of investments, reserve adequacy, insurer solvency, minimum amounts of capital
and surplus, transactions with related parties, changes in control and payment of dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
NAIC and state insurance regulators continually reexamine existing laws and regulations. The NAIC may develop and recommend adoption of new or modify existing model laws and regulations. State
insurance regulators may impose those recommended changes, or others, in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
life insurance subsidiaries are subject to state insurance regulations based on the NAIC's risk-based capital requirements which are intended to be used by insurance regulators as an
early warning tool to identify deteriorating or weakly capitalized insurance companies for the purpose of initiating regulatory action. Our life insurance subsidiaries also may be required, under
solvency or guaranty laws of most states in which they do business, to pay assessments up to certain prescribed limits to fund policyholder losses or liabilities for insolvent insurance companies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Although
the federal government does not directly regulate the insurance business, federal legislation and administrative policies in several areas, including pension regulation, age and sex
discrimination, financial services regulation, securities regulation and federal taxation, can significantly affect the insurance business. In addition, legislation has been enacted which could result
in the federal government assuming some role in the regulation of the insurance industry. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act was enacted and signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act made extensive changes to the laws regulating the financial services industry and requires
various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new rules and regulations. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act imposes a comprehensive new regulatory regime on the
over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives marketplace. This legislation subjects swap dealers and "major swap participants" (as defined in the legislation and further clarified by
the rulemaking) to substantial supervision and regulation, including capital standards, margin requirements, business conduct standards, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. It also requires

organization" (subject to certain exceptions) and provides the CFTC with authority to impose position limits across markets. Many of the key concepts, definitions, processes and issues surrounding
regulation of the OTC derivatives have been left to the relevant regulators to address and many of these regulations have yet to be proposed. The Dodd-Frank Act and any such regulations
may subject us to additional restrictions on our hedging positions which may have an adverse effect on our ability to hedge risks associated with our business, including our fixed index annuity
business, or on the cost of our hedging activity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Dodd-Frank Act also created a Financial Stability and Oversight Council ("FSOC"). The FSOC may designate by a 2/3 vote whether certain insurance companies and insurance holding
companies pose a grave threat to the financial stability of the United States, in which case such companies would become subject to prudential regulation by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal
Reserve (the "Federal Reserve Board") (including capital requirements, leverage limits, liquidity requirements and examinations). The Federal Reserve Board may limit such company's ability to enter
into merger transactions, restrict its ability to offer financial products, require it to terminate one or more activities, or impose conditions on the manner in which it conducts activities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Dodd-Frank Act also established a Federal Insurance Office under the U.S. Treasury Department to monitor all aspects of the insurance industry and of lines of business other than
certain health insurance, certain long-term care insurance and crop insurance. The director of the Federal Insurance Office has the ability to recommend that an insurance company or an
insurance holding company be subject to heightened prudential standards. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides for the pre-emption of state laws in certain instances involving the
regulation of reinsurance and other limited insurance matters. The Dodd-Frank Act requires extensive rule-making and other future regulatory action, which in some cases will
take a period of years to implement. It is not possible at this time to assess the impact on our business of the establishment of the Federal Insurance Office and the FSOC. However, the regulatory
framework at the state and federal level applicable to our insurance products is evolving. The changing regulatory framework could affect the design of such products and our ability to sell certain
products. Any changes in these laws and regulations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
cannot predict the requirements of any regulations ultimately adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act, the effect that such regulations will have on financial markets or
on our business, the additional costs associated with compliance with such regulations, or any changes to our operations that may be necessary to comply with the Dodd-Frank Act, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The annuity and life insurance products that we market generally provide the policyholder with certain federal income tax advantages. For example,

life insurance death benefits are generally exempt from income tax. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>From
time to time, various tax law changes have been proposed that could have an adverse effect on our business, including the elimination of all or a portion of the income tax advantages described
above for annuities and life insurance. If legislation were enacted to eliminate all or a portion of the tax deferral for annuities, such a change would have an adverse effect on our ability to sell
non-qualified annuities. Non-qualified annuities are annuities that are not sold to a qualified retirement plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Beginning
in 2013, distributions from non-qualified annuity policies will be considered "investment income" for purposes of the newly enacted Medicare tax on investment income contained in
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. As a result, in certain circumstances a 3.8% tax ("Medicare Tax") may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions from
non-qualified annuities to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. This new tax may have an adverse effect on our ability to sell non-qualified annuities to
individuals whose income exceeds these threshold amounts. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We face risks relating to litigation, including the costs of such litigation, management distraction and the potential for damage awards, which may adversely impact our
business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are occasionally involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. In addition, state regulatory bodies, such as state insurance
departments, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,&nbsp;Inc. ("FINRA"), the Department of Labor and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or
investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and laws governing the activities
of broker-dealers. Companies in the life insurance and annuity business have faced litigation, including class action lawsuits, alleging improper product design, improper sales practices and similar
claims. We are currently a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit involving allegations that generally attack the suitability of sales of deferred annuity products to persons over the age of
65. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit seek rescission and injunctive relief including restitution and disgorgement of profits on behalf of all class members; compensatory damages for breach of fiduciary
duty and aiding and abetting of breach of fiduciary duty; unjust enrichment and constructive trust; and other pecuniary damages. See "Business&#151;Legal proceedings" for more information about

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Financial
strength ratings are important factors in establishing the competitive position of life insurance and annuity companies. In recent years, the market for annuities has been dominated by those
insurers with the highest ratings. A ratings downgrade, or the potential for a ratings downgrade, could have a number of adverse effects on our business. For example, distributors and sales agents for
life insurance and annuity products use the ratings as one factor in determining which insurer's annuities to market. A ratings downgrade could cause those distributors and agents to seek alternative
carriers. In addition, a ratings downgrade could materially increase the number of policy or contract surrenders we experience, as well as our ability to obtain reinsurance or obtain reasonable
pricing on reinsurance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Financial
strength ratings are measures of an insurance company's ability to meet contractholder and policyholder obligations and generally involve quantitative and qualitative evaluations by rating
agencies of a company's financial condition and operating performance. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings upon information furnished to them by the insurer and upon their own
investigations, studies and assumptions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Ratings
are based upon factors of concern to agents, policyholders and intermediaries and are not directed toward the protection of investors and are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold

figure assumes that all December 2029 Notes are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. It includes the assumed aggregate
principal amount of such December 2029 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for exchange, accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of completion of the Exchange
Offer, payment of related premiums, fees and expenses and additional cash to our balance sheet. No assurance can be given as to the principal amount of December 2029 Notes to be exchanged in the
Exchange Offer. Our December&nbsp;2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum and have a final maturity of December&nbsp;6, 2029 but may be put to the Company at the option of the
holders thereof on December&nbsp;15, 2014, December&nbsp;15, 2019 and December&nbsp;15, 2024. We are under no obligation to commence the Exchange Offer, and this offering of notes is not
conditioned upon the commencement or completion of the Exchange Offer. Our decision to commence an offer for the December 2029 Notes will depend on market conditions and other factors. In the
alternative or in addition, we may use the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to tender for, repurchase in the open market, or otherwise acquire any or all of our 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2015 (the "September 2015 Notes"), or we may use the net proceeds to redeem or repurchase December 2029 Notes or our September 2015 Notes at a later date. Our September&nbsp;2015 Notes bear
interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum and have a final maturity of September&nbsp;15, 2015. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
2011, we entered into a $160.0&nbsp;million revolving line of credit agreement for which the revolving period is three years. Based upon our current credit rating, the
applicable margin is 2.00% for alternate base rate borrowings and 3.00% for adjusted LIBOR rate borrowings, and the commitment fee is 0.50%. In connection with the redemption of our December 2024
Notes (see "Summary&#151;Recent developments"), on May&nbsp;14, 2013 we drew $15.0&nbsp;million on the existing revolving credit facility. As of May&nbsp;31, 2013, we had outstanding
borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility of $15.0&nbsp;million. See "Description of certain indebtedness" for a detailed description of our existing revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>

to the Exchange Offer or the use of any remaining net proceeds of the offering of the notes. See footnote (4)&nbsp;below. Pending the application of the remaining net proceeds of the offering of the
notes, those net proceeds are included in cash and cash equivalents in the table. To the extent we commence and complete the Exchange Offer, our cash and cash equivalents would decrease in an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of any December 2029 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for exchange, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the
date of completion of the Exchange Offer and payment of related premiums, fees and expenses. We are under no obligation to commence the Exchange Offer. As described in "Use of proceeds," in the
alternative or in addition, we may use the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to tender for, repurchase in the open market, or otherwise acquire any or all of our September&nbsp;2015 Notes,
or we may use the net proceeds to redeem or repurchase December&nbsp;2029 Notes or September&nbsp;2015 Notes at a later date. If we choose to use the net proceeds to redeem or repurchase
December&nbsp;2029 Notes or September&nbsp;2015 Notes at a later date, that portion of the net proceeds could remain on our balance sheet as cash for an unspecified period of time. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition to net income, we have consistently utilized Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the life insurance industry, as an economic
measure to evaluate our financial performance. Operating Income equals net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments, including net OTTI losses recognized
in operations and related deferred tax asset valuation allowance, fair value changes in derivatives and embedded derivatives, (gain) loss on extinguishment of convertible debt, the counterparty
default on expired call options and litigation reserves. Because these items fluctuate from year to year in a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures excluding their impact are useful
in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of Operating Income together with net income provides information that may enhance an investor's understanding of our
underlying results and profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">Operating Income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments made to derive
Operating Income are important to understanding our overall results from operations, and, if evaluated without proper context, Operating Income possesses material
limitations:</FONT></P>

strong operating performance, if in that period we generate significant net realized losses from our investment portfolio. We could also produce a high level of net income in a given period, despite
poor operating performance, if in that period we generate significant net realized gains from our investment portfolio. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">Therefore, our management and board of directors also separately review net realized investment gains (losses) and
analyses of our net investment income, including impacts related to OTTI write-downs, in connection with their review of our investment portfolio. In addition, our management and board of directors
examine net income as part of their review of our overall financial results. The adjustments made to net income to arrive at Operating Income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012

Adjusted Debt to total capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing Adjusted Debt by total capitalization excluding AOCI. Adjusted Debt is the sum of notes payable and the
portion of the total subordinated debentures payable to statutory trusts outstanding (qualifying trust preferred securities) that exceeds 15% of total capitalization excluding AOCI. The debt to total
capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of notes payable and subordinated debentures by total capitalization excluding AOCI. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">In addition to total debt in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, as an
alternate measure of our leverage. Adjusted Debt is the sum of notes payable and the portion of total subordinated debentures payable to statutory trusts outstanding that exceeds 15% of total
capitalization excluding AOCI. Because rating agencies and certain analysts and investors give equity credit to a portion of our subordinated debentures in analyzing our leverage and financial
condition, we use Adjusted Debt as a supplemental measure in evaluating our leverage. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">Total capitalization excluding AOCI, a non-GAAP financial measure, is the sum of total debt and total
stockholders' equity </FONT><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;"><I>minus</I></FONT><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;"> AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale
investments, we believe that total capitalization excluding AOCI provides useful supplemental information in evaluating our total capitalization. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">In addition, our existing revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a ratio of Adjusted Debt to total
capitalization excluding AOCI below a specified level. We also use these measures, therefore, in evaluating our leverage and ongoing compliance with our existing revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">The table below demonstrates how we calculate adjusted debt and sets forth a reconciliation of our adjusted debt to our
total debt for the periods indicated, as well as the components for the calculation of the debt to total capitalization ratio and the Adjusted Debt to total capitalization ratio (unaudited): </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Return
on Average Equity Excluding Average AOCI is calculated by dividing net income and Operating Income for the trailing twelve months by average equity excluding AOCI. We use
Return on Average Equity Excluding Average AOCI as a supplemental measure of evaluating the net income and Operating Income we generate as a percentage of our equity. In that calculation, we use
average equity over the applicable twelve-month period to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in our equity during that period. In addition, we exclude AOCI because AOCI fluctuates from quarter to
quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments. We believe that Return on Average Equity Excluding Average AOCI provides useful supplemental information
regarding our financial performance to analysts and investors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Management's discussion and analysis reviews our consolidated financial position at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, our unaudited
consolidated financial position at March&nbsp;31, 2013, our consolidated results of operations for the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, and our unaudited consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, and where appropriate, factors that may affect future financial performance. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and selected consolidated financial data, included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Our business and profitability  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are a leader in the development and sale of fixed index and fixed rate annuity products. We sell fixed index and fixed rate
annuities and life insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our business consists primarily of the sale of fixed index and fixed rate annuities, and our annuity sales for each of the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, before coinsurance, were $3.9&nbsp;billion. Our strategy is focused on growing our annuity business and earning
returns by managing investment spreads and investment risk. We had an investment portfolio of $29.2&nbsp;billion as of March&nbsp;31, 2013. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, we
generated total revenues of $1,588.6&nbsp;million, Operating Income of $110.2&nbsp;million and net income of $57.8&nbsp;million. See "&#151;Summary consolidated financial information" for
a reconciliation of Operating Income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
underwrite our fixed annuity and life insurance products through our wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries, American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company ("American Equity Life"), American
Equity Investment Life Insurance Company of New York and Eagle Life Insurance Company ("Eagle Life"). We market those products through a distribution network of approximately 60 national marketing
organizations and, through them, approximately 24,000 independent agents. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
specialize in the sale of individual annuities (primarily deferred annuities), and, to a lesser extent, we also sell life insurance policies. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), premium collections for deferred annuities are reported as deposit liabilities instead of as revenues. Similarly, cash payments to policyholders are reported as decreases in the liabilities
for policyholder account balances and not as expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Sources of revenues and components of expenses  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our sources of revenues for products accounted for as deposit liabilities are net investment income, surrender and other charges deducted from the
account balances of policyholders, net realized gains (losses) on investments and changes in fair value of derivatives. Components of expenses for products accounted for as deposit liabilities are
interest-sensitive and index product benefits (primarily interest credited to account balances), changes in fair value of embedded derivatives, amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred
policy acquisition costs, other operating costs and expenses and income taxes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Business drivers  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our business model contemplates continued growth in invested assets and Operating Income while maintaining a high quality investment portfolio that
will not experience significant losses from impairments of invested assets. Growth in invested assets is predicated on a continuation of our high sales achievements of the last four years while at the
same time maintaining a high level of retention of the funds received. The economic and personal investing environments continue to be conducive for high sales levels as retirees and others look to
put their money in instruments that will protect their principal and provide them with consistent cash flow sources in their retirement years. We are committed to maintaining a high quality investment
portfolio with limited exposure to below investment grade securities and other riskier assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
profitability depends in large part upon the amount of assets under our management, investment spreads we earn on our policyholder account balances, our ability to manage our investment portfolio
to maximize returns and minimize risks such as interest rate changes and defaults or impairment of investments, our ability to manage interest rates credited to policyholders and costs of the options
purchased to fund the annual index credits on our fixed index annuities, our ability to manage the costs of acquiring new business (principally commissions to agents and bonuses credited to
policyholders) and our ability to manage our operating expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Managing our investment spread  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Earnings from products accounted for as deposit liabilities are primarily generated from the excess of net investment income earned over the interest
credited or the cost of providing index credits to the policyholder, or the "investment spread." Our investment spread is summarized as follows: </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our investment spread in 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 has been impacted by shortfalls in investment income from excess liquidity resulting from a lag in
the reinvestment of proceeds of government agency bonds called for redemption. The callable government agency securities have been a cornerstone of our investment portfolio since our formation.
Through the years they have provided very acceptable yields that met our spread requirements without any risk-based capital charges. We have been through several cycles of calls on these
securities and each time we have reinvested a portion of the call redemption proceeds into new callable government agency securities. This kept cash balances low but perpetuated the call risk.
However, in the current interest rate environment, we have been reluctant to reinvest the call </FONT></P>

proceeds in government agency securities and only purchased $948.9&nbsp;million in 2012 compared to $4.3&nbsp;billion in calls. Consequently, we have been managing excess cash and other
short-term investments throughout 2012 and into the first quarter of 2013. We ended the first quarter of 2013 with $1.3&nbsp;billion in excess cash and other short-term
investments compared to $2.2&nbsp;billion at the end of 2012. Our progress in reducing the excess cash and other short-term investments is likely to be interrupted in the second quarter
of 2013 as we had $678&nbsp;million in government agency securities called in April. While high levels of excess cash and other short-term investments may persist for several more
quarters, the average quarterly balances should decline in second half of 2013 due to reinvestment of year end cash and other short-term investments into longer term securities. Subsequent
to the April calls, there is no exposure to callable securities for the remainder of 2013. See "&#151;Results of operations for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and
2012&#151;Net
investment income" and "&#151;Results of operations for the three years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012&#151;Net investment income" for additional information regarding our excess
liquidity. </FONT></P>

cost of money for fixed index annuities and average crediting rates for fixed rate annuities are computed based upon policyholder account balances and do not include the impact of amortization of
deferred sales inducements. See "&#151;Critical accounting policies&#151;Deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements." With respect to our fixed index annuities, the
cost of money includes the average crediting rate on amounts allocated to the fixed rate strategy, expenses we incur to fund the annual index credits and, where applicable, minimum guaranteed interest
credited. Proceeds received upon expiration or early termination of call options purchased to fund annual index credits are recorded as part of the change in fair value of derivatives, and are largely
offset by an expense for interest credited to annuity policyholder account balances. See "&#151;Critical accounting policies&#151;Policy liabilities for fixed index annuities" and
"&#151;Financial condition&#151;Derivative instruments." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
response to the continuing low interest rate environment, we implemented reductions of policyholder crediting rates for new annuities and existing annuities in the fourth quarter of 2011. Rates on
new sales were reduced 0.40%&nbsp;-&nbsp;0.50% beginning with applications received after October&nbsp;7, 2011. Renewal rate adjustments began taking effect on November&nbsp;15, 2011 and
continued to take effect on the policy anniversary dates over the twelve months following that date. Rates on new sales were again reduced by approximately 0.25% beginning with applications received
after December&nbsp;5, 2012. As of March&nbsp;31, 2013, our base rates for new sales ranged from 1.10% to 1.25%, and our base rates for renewals ranged from 1.60% to 3.15%, subject to minimum
guaranteed rates. Our 2013 and 2012 spread results reflect the benefit from these reductions; however, the reductions in cost of money were partially offset by continued lower yields available on
investments including reinvestment of proceeds from calls of the callable bonds in our investment portfolio. We expect this low interest rate environment to extend at least through 2014 as the United
States Federal Reserve has publicly stated their current policy of maintaining downward pressure on longer-term interest rates to support mortgage markets and help make broader financial
conditions more accommodative. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Annuity deposits before coinsurance ceded decreased 5% during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. We attribute this in part to the
low interest rate environment which appears to have made prospective policyholders less willing to commit funds to fixed index annuities. We attribute the continuing significant sales of our products
to factors including the highly competitive rates of our products, our continued strong relationships with our national marketing organizations and field force of licensed, independent insurance
agents, the increased attractiveness of safe money products in volatile markets, lower interest rates on competing products, such as bank certificates of deposit, and product enhancements, including a
new generation of guaranteed income withdrawal benefit riders. The extent to which this trend will be sustained in future periods is uncertain. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Net
income, in general, has been positively impacted by the growth in the volume of business in force and the investment spread earned on this business. The average amount of annuity liabilities
outstanding (net of annuity liabilities ceded under coinsurance agreements) increased 13% to $28.1&nbsp;billion during first quarter of 2013 compared to $24.8&nbsp;billion for the same period in
2012. Our investment spread measured in dollars was $161.1&nbsp;million during first quarter of 2013 compared to $154.9&nbsp;million during the same period in 2012. As previously mentioned, our
investment spread has been negatively impacted by both the extended low interest rate environment and our excess liquidity due to calls of our United States government agency securities (see
"&#151;Net investment income" below). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (see reconciliation to net income in "Summary&#151;Summary consolidated financial

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition to net income, we have consistently utilized Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the life insurance industry, as an economic measure to evaluate our
financial performance. Operating Income equals net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments including net other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses
recognized in operations and fair value changes in derivatives and embedded derivatives. Because these items fluctuate from year to year in a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures
excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of Operating Income together with net income provides information that may enhance
an investor's understanding of our underlying results and profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Operating
Income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments made to derive Operating Income are important to understanding our overall results from
operations and, if evaluated without proper context, Operating Income possesses material limitations. As an example, we could produce a low level of net income in a given period, despite strong
operating performance, if in that period we experience significant net realized losses from our investment portfolio. We could also produce a high level of net income in a given period, despite poor
operating performance, if in that period we generate significant net realized gains from our investment portfolio. As an example of another limitation of Operating Income, it does not include the
decrease in cash flows expected to be collected as a result of credit loss from OTTI. Therefore, our management and board of directors also separately review net realized investment gains (losses) and
analyses of our net investment income, including impacts related to OTTI write-downs, in connection with their review of our investment portfolio. In addition, our management and board of directors
examine net income as part of their review of our overall financial results. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
adjustments made to net income to arrive at Operating Income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012 are set forth in the table that follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Annuity product charges</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (surrender charges assessed against policy withdrawals and fees deducted from
policyholder account balances for lifetime income benefit riders) increased 11% to $21.5&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $19.4&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012. These
increases were primarily attributable to increases in the amounts of fees assessed for lifetime income benefit riders, which were $10.0&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to
$7.7&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012. The increases in these fees are attributable to a larger volume of business in force subject to the fees. The weighted average per policy fees assessed
for lifetime income benefit riders was 0.53% and 0.51% for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fund values on policies with lifetime income benefit riders being
assessed these fees increased from $1.5&nbsp;billion during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 to $1.9&nbsp;billion during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013. See
"&#151;Interest sensitive and index product benefits" below for the corresponding expense recognized on lifetime income benefit riders. Surrender charges decreased by $0.2&nbsp;million for
the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in withdrawals subject to a surrender charge. Withdrawals from annuity and single premium universal
life policies subject to surrender charges were $78.0&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $89.8&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012. The lower amount of withdrawals was
influenced by the continuing low interest rate environment. The average surrender charge collected on withdrawals subject to a surrender charge was 14.5% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 12.9%
for the same period in 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Net investment income</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> increased 1% to $329.7&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $326.9&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012.
This increase was principally attributable to the growth in our annuity business and a corresponding increase in our invested assets. Average invested assets excluding derivative instruments (on an
amortized cost basis) increased 13% to $26.4&nbsp;billion for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $23.4&nbsp;billion for the same period in 2012. The average yield earned on average invested

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
decrease in yield earned on average invested assets was attributable to lower yields on investments purchased in 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. In addition, net investment income and average
yield were negatively impacted by a lag in reinvestment of proceeds from bonds called for redemption during the periods into new assets causing excess liquidity held in low yielding cash and other
short-term investments. The average balance held in cash and short-term investments was $1.8&nbsp;billion and $0.8&nbsp;billion for the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2013 and 2012, respectively. The average yield on our cash and short-term investments during the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 0.33% and 0.11%, respectively. Additionally, net

value of derivatives") and the amount of funds allocated by policyholders to the respective index options. Total proceeds received upon expiration of the call options purchased to fund the annual
index credits was $135.2&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, compared to $50.9&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in interest credited was due to a
decrease in the average rate credited to the amount of annuity liabilities outstanding receiving a fixed rate of interest. The average amount of annuity liabilities outstanding (net of annuity
liabilities ceded under coinsurance agreements) increased 13% to $28.1&nbsp;billion in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $24.8&nbsp;billion during the same period in 2012. The increases in
benefits recognized for living income benefit riders were due to increases in the number of policies with lifetime income benefit riders and correlate to the increase in fees discussed in
"&#151;Annuity product charges." </FONT></P>

same period in 2012. In general, amortization of deferred sales inducements has been increasing each period due to the growth in our annuity business and the deferral of sales inducements incurred
with respect to sales of premium bonus annuity products. The initial annuity deposit on these products is increased at issuance by a specified premium bonus ranging from 3% to 10%. Bonus products
represented 97% of our net annuity deposits during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, compared to 96% during the same period in 2012. The anticipated increase in amortization from these
factors has been affected by amortization associated with fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives utilized in our fixed index annuity business, amortization associated with net
realized gains (losses) on investments and net OTTI losses recognized in operations. Fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives utilized in our fixed index annuity business creates
differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses from derivative instruments, including the embedded derivative liabilities in our fixed index annuity contracts. The change in fair value of the
embedded derivatives does not correspond to the change in fair value of the derivatives (purchased call options) because the purchased call options are one-year options while the options

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Change in fair value of embedded derivatives</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> primarily relates to fixed index annuity embedded derivatives and
resulted from (i)&nbsp;changes in the expected index credits on the next policy anniversary dates, which are related to the change in fair value of the call options acquired to fund these index
credits discussed above in "&#151;Change in fair value of derivatives"; (ii)&nbsp;changes in discount rates used in estimating our liability for policy growth; and (iii)&nbsp;the growth in
the host component of the policy liability. See "&#151;Critical accounting policies&#151;Policy liabilities for fixed index annuities." The primary reasons for the decrease in the change
in fair value of the fixed index annuity embedded derivatives during the first quarter of 2013 was an increase in the discount rate used in estimating our liability for policy growth offset by
increases in the expected index credits that resulted from increases in the fair value of the call options acquired to fund these index credits. The changes for the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2013 and 2012 also include increases of $28.1&nbsp;million and $16.8&nbsp;million, respectively, in the fair value of the 2015 notes embedded conversion derivative. As discussed previously, these
amounts were offset by comparable increases in the fair value of the 2015 notes hedges. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Interest expense on subordinated debentures</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> decreased 16% to $3.0&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $3.6&nbsp;million for the
same period in 2012. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the weighted average interest rates on outstanding subordinated debentures, which were 4.80% and 5.24% for the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and due to the redemption of $22&nbsp;million principal amount of our 8% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures in July 2012. The weighted average
interest rate fluctuates from period to period because $169.6&nbsp;million principal amount of the subordinated debentures has floating rates of interest based upon the three-month London Interbank
Offered Rate plus an applicable margin. See "&#151;Financial condition&#151;Liabilities." </FONT></P>

for the same period in 2012. In general, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs has been increasing each period due to the growth in our annuity business and the deferral of policy
acquisition costs incurred with respect to sales of annuity products. The anticipated increase in amortization from these factors has been affected by amortization associated with fair value
accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives utilized in our fixed index annuity business, amortization associated </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Other operating costs and expenses</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> decreased 10% to $19.5&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared
to $21.7&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $1.5&nbsp;million in various state taxes, assessments and fees that vary period to period based in
part on the amount of annuity deposits we collect and the amount and timing of assessments and fees we are charged by states in which we do business. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Income tax expense</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> increased to $13.5&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $5.7&nbsp;million for the same period in 2012. The
change in income tax expense was primarily due to changes in income before income taxes. Income tax expense and the resulting effective tax rate are based upon two components of income before income
taxes ("pretax income") that are taxed at different tax rates. Life insurance income is generally taxed at an effective rate of approximately 35.6% reflecting the absence of state income taxes for
substantially all of the states that the life insurance subsidiaries do business in. The income for the parent company and other non-life insurance subsidiaries is generally taxed at an
effective tax rate
of 41.5% reflecting the combined federal / state income tax rates. The effective tax rates resulting from the combination of the income tax provisions for the life / non-life sources of
income (loss) vary from period to period based primarily on the relative size of pretax income (loss) from the two sources. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and
2012 was 34.1% and 35.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2013 is due to sources of net investment income that are exempt from Federal income tax. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Annuity deposits before coinsurance ceded decreased 22% during 2012 compared to 2011 and increased 9% during 2011 compared to 2010. We attribute the relatively
slower sales in part to the low interest rate environment which appears to have made prospective policyholders less willing to commit funds to fixed index annuities. We also attribute the 2012
decrease in annuity deposits to certain competitors who were more aggressive in their product pricing in the first half of 2012. The extent to which this will continue to affect our annuity deposits
is uncertain. In addition, sales for 2011 benefited from higher demand in advance of a rate decrease implemented during that period. We attribute the continuing significant sales of our products to
factors including the highly competitive rates of our products, our continued strong relationships with our national marketing organizations and field force of licensed, independent insurance agents,
the increased attractiveness of safe money products in volatile markets, lower interest rates on competing products such as bank certificates of deposit and product enhancements including a new
generation of guaranteed income withdrawal benefit riders. The extent to which this trend will be sustained in future periods is uncertain. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
entered into a $50&nbsp;million "financing" reinsurance transaction in the first quarter of 2011 to help support sales growth in 2011 that provided an initial after tax statutory surplus benefit
of $31.8&nbsp;million. We believe our existing statutory capital and surplus and the statutory surplus we expect to generate internally through statutory earnings will support a higher level of new
business growth than in previous years. However, while we have the capital resources to accept more business than was sold in 2012 and 2011, our capacity is not unlimited and sales growth must be
matched with available resources to maintain desired financial strength ratings from credit rating agencies and in particular,&nbsp;A.M. Best Company. Should sales growth accelerate to levels that
cannot be supported by internal capital generation, we would intend to obtain capital from external sources to facilitate such growth. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Net income</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in general, has been positively impacted by the growth in the volume of business in force and the investment spread earned on this business.
The average amount of annuity liabilities outstanding (net of annuity liabilities ceded under coinsurance agreements) increased 16% to $26.0&nbsp;billion for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012
compared to $22.4&nbsp;billion in 2011 and 24% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011 compared to $18.1&nbsp;billion in 2010. Our investment spread measured in dollars was
$596.7&nbsp;million, $585.9&nbsp;million and $502.9&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. As previously mentioned, our investment spread in 2012 has been
negatively impacted by both the extended low interest rate environment and our excess liquidity due to calls of our United States government agency securities (see "&#151;Net investment
income"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Net
income was negatively affected by the prospective adoption on January&nbsp;1, 2012, of an accounting standards update that defines the types of costs that are deferrable with policy acquisition.
This resulted in $9.1&nbsp;million of costs that were expensed as incurred during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, which under the accounting method in effect for the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010 would have been capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortized in future periods. This change in accounting, including the impact on related
amortization expense, resulted in a $5.8&nbsp;million decrease in net income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
periodically revise the key assumptions used in the calculation of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements retrospectively through an unlocking process when
estimates of current or future gross profits/margins (including the impact of realized investment gains and losses) to be realized from a group of products are revised. The impact of unlocking on our
results of operations, including the impact of account balance true
ups and adjustments to future period assumptions for interest margins and surrenders, was as follows: </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Net income for 2012 was positively impacted by a revision of assumptions used in determining liabilities for living income benefit riders. This revision was
consistent with unlocking for deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. The impact decreased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $2.2&nbsp;million and increased
net income by $1.4&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
2012, based upon developments in mediation discussions concerning potential settlement terms of a purported class action lawsuit, we established an estimated litigation liability of
$17.5&nbsp;million ($9.6&nbsp;million after offsets for income taxes and adjustments to deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements). See "Business&#151;Legal

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
2011, we discovered a prior period error related to policy benefit reserves for our single premium immediate annuity products. We evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and
quantitative perspectives and concluded it was not material to any prior periods. The correction of the error in 2011 is not material to the results of operations for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2011. Accordingly, we made an adjustment in the first quarter of 2011 which resulted in a decrease of policy benefit reserves and a decrease in interest sensitive and index product
benefits of $4.2&nbsp;million. On an after-tax basis, the adjustment resulted in a $2.7&nbsp;million increase in net income for the year December&nbsp;31, 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Annuity product charges</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (surrender charges assessed against policy withdrawals and fees deducted from

of fees assessed for lifetime income benefit riders which were $43.8&nbsp;million, $26.2&nbsp;million and $13.5&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,

and 2011, respectively. These decreases was primarily attributable to reductions in withdrawals subject to a surrender charge. Withdrawals from annuity and single premium universal life policies
subject to surrender charges were $335.6&nbsp;million, $378.9&nbsp;million and $418.9&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The average
surrender charge collected on withdrawals subject to a surrender charge was 13.4%, 13.1% and 13.2% for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Withdrawals have decreased
in 2012 and 2011 due to the low interest rate environment which has made new annuity policies or other retirement savings products less attractive. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Net investment income</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> increased 6% to $1,286.9&nbsp;million in 2012 and 18% to $1,218.8&nbsp;million in 2011 from $1,036.1&nbsp;million in 2010.
The increases were principally attributable to the growth in our annuity business and corresponding increases in our invested assets. Average invested assets excluding derivative instruments (on an
amortized cost basis) increased 16% to $24.4&nbsp;billion in 2012 and 23% to $21.0&nbsp;billion in 2011 compared to $17.1&nbsp;billion in 2010. The average yield earned on average invested

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
decrease in yield earned on average invested assets in 2012 and 2011 was attributable to lower yields on investments purchased in those periods. In addition, net investment income and average
yield were negatively impacted by a lag in reinvestment of proceeds from bonds called for redemption during 2012, 2011 and 2010 into new assets causing excess liquidity held in low yielding cash and
other short-term investments. The average cash and other short-term investments held was $1.7&nbsp;billion, $387.0&nbsp;million and $428.8&nbsp;million in 2012, 2011 and
2010. The average yield on our cash and short-term investments in 2012 was 0.25%. Additionally, net investment income and average yield was positively impacted by prepayment and fee income
received, resulting in additional net investment
income in 2012 and 2010 of $14.8&nbsp;million and $7.4&nbsp;million, respectively. There was no prepayment and fee income impact for 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Change in fair value of embedded derivatives.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The primary reasons for the increase in the change in fair value of the embedded derivatives
during 2012 were increases in the expected index credits that resulted from increases in the fair value of the call options acquired to fund these index credits and decreases in the discount rates
used in estimating our liability for policy
growth. The primary reason for the decrease in the change in fair value of embedded derivatives in 2011 was a decrease in the expected index credits on the next policy anniversary dates, which is
correlated with the change in fair value of call options acquired to fund those index credits, offset by decreases in the discount rates used in estimating the liability for policy growth. The primary
reason for the decrease in the change in fair value of fixed index annuity embedded derivatives in 2010 was decreases in the discount rates used in estimating our liability for policy growth offset in
part by decreases in the expected index credits, which correlated with the decrease in the change in fair value of derivatives for 2010. The 2012, 2011 and 2010 changes include decreases of
$2.5&nbsp;million and $21.0&nbsp;million and an increase of $29.6&nbsp;million, respectively, in the fair value of the 2015 notes embedded conversion derivative. As discussed previously, these
amounts were offset by a comparable decrease or increase in the fair value of the 2015 notes hedges. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Interest expense on notes payable</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> decreased 10% to $28.5&nbsp;million in 2012 and increased 43% to $31.6&nbsp;million in 2011 from
$22.1&nbsp;million in 2010. The decrease in 2012 was primarily due to the extinguishment of $46.3&nbsp;million principal amount of the 2024 notes at par as holders required us to repurchase the
notes at the initial put date of December&nbsp;15, 2011. The 2011 increase was primarily due to the September 2010 issuance of $200&nbsp;million principal amount of 3.50% convertible senior notes.
The 2011 increase in interest expense from the convertible notes was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings under our revolving line of credit with banks. The weighted
average interest rate was 1.10% and the average borrowings outstanding was $108.5&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. We had no borrowings on the revolving line of credit
during the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011. </FONT></P>

for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and partially due to the redemption of $22&nbsp;million principal amount of our 8% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures in July 2012. The weighted
average interest rates have decreased because $169.6&nbsp;million principal amount of the subordinated debentures have a floating rate of interest based upon the three-month London Interbank Offered
Rate plus an applicable margin. See "&#151;Financial condition&#151;Liabilities." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> increased 15% to $164.9&nbsp;million in 2012 and 5% to $143.5&nbsp;million in 2011 from
$136.4&nbsp;million in 2010. In general, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs has been increasing each year due to the growth in our annuity business and the deferral of policy
acquisition costs incurred with respect to sales of annuity products. The anticipated increase in amortization from these factors has been affected by amortization associated with fair value
accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives utilized in our fixed index annuity business, amortization associated with net realized gains (losses) on investments and net OTTI losses recognized
in operations and, in 2012 and 2010, the amortization associated with litigation liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Other
operating costs and expenses net of litigation settlements and the change in accounting are primarily affected by increases in salaries and benefits, marketing expenses and general operating
expenses due to the growth of our business as well as the fluctuation in legal expense for the cost of defense of on-going litigation. Other operating costs and expenses excluding the
litigation settlement and change in accounting discussed previously increased 2% to $68.9&nbsp;million in 2012 and 1% to $67.5&nbsp;million in 2011. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Legal
expenses decreased $4.8&nbsp;million in 2011 compared to 2010. An elevated level of legal expense was incurred in 2010 related to the defense of a class action lawsuit which had moved into the
trial phase during 2010 and ended with the settlement agreement referred to above. Salaries and benefits increased $2.5&nbsp;million in 2011 compared to 2010. The increase in salaries and benefits
for 2011 was due to an increased number of employees due to growth in our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Income tax expense</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> decreased in 2012 primarily because of the decrease in income before income taxes. Income tax expense increased in 2011 primarily

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
effective income tax rate decreased in 2012 due to new sources of net investment income that are exempt from Federal income tax. Although these sources of tax exempt net
investment income will continue in the future, our sources of taxable income may grow at a faster rate and our effective income tax rate in the future may approach the 35.6% effective rate of our life

of March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and December&nbsp;31, 2011, we held $649.8&nbsp;million, $328.7&nbsp;million and $165.4&nbsp;million of cash and cash

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and the years ended 2012 and 2011, we received $0.3&nbsp;billion, $4.6&nbsp;billion and
$3.2&nbsp;billion, respectively, in net redemption proceeds related to calls of our callable United States Government-sponsored agency securities and public and private corporate bonds, of which
$0.0&nbsp;billion, $2.6&nbsp;billion and $0.2&nbsp;billion, respectively, were classified as held for investment. The proceeds from these redemptions that have been reinvested have primarily
been in United States Government-sponsored agencies, corporate securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities classified as available for sale. At March&nbsp;31,
2013, 31% of our fixed income securities have call features and
0.3% ($0.1&nbsp;billion) were subject to call redemption. Another 8% ($1.8&nbsp;billion) will become subject to call redemption during the next twelve months, of which $522.3&nbsp;million are
short-term U.S. Government agency securities with a book yield of 0.76%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our fixed maturity security portfolio is managed to minimize risks such as interest rate changes and defaults or impairments while earning a
sufficient and stable return on our investments. Historically, we have had a high percentage of our fixed maturity securities in U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities (for the most part Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Association). While U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities are of high credit quality, the call features have resulted in our excess
cash position. These calls resulted from the low interest rate and tight agency spread environment. Since 2007, when we had almost 80% of our fixed maturity portfolio invested in callable agencies, we
have reallocated a significant portion of our fixed maturities from the callable agency securities to other highly rated, long-term securities. The largest portion of our fixed maturity
securities are now in investment grade (NAIC designation 1 or 2)&nbsp;publicly traded or privately placed corporate securities. We have also built a portfolio of residential mortgage-backed
securities ("RMBS") that provide our investment portfolio a source of regular cash flow and higher yielding assets than our agency securities. Beginning in 2009, we have acquired a portfolio of
taxable bonds issued by municipalities, states and territories of the United States that provide us with attractive yields while consistent with our aversion to credit risk. Beginning in 2012, we have
increased our position in other asset-backed securities as well as establishing a position in commercial mortgage-backed securities. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Since 2009, the NAIC has utilized a process to assess non-agency RMBS that does not rely on NRSRO ratings. The NAIC retained the services of PIMCO
Advisory to model each non-agency RMBS owned by U.S. insurers at year-end 2012 and 2011. PIMCO Advisory has provided 5 prices for each security for life insurance companies to
utilize in determining the NAIC designation for each RMBS based on each insurer's statutory book value price. This process is used to determine the level of RBC requirements for non-agency
RMBS. In 2010, the NAIC retained the services of BlackRock Solutions to model each non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") to determine the level of RBC requirements for
non-agency CMBS in a manner similar to that utilized by PIMCO Advisory for RMBS. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities, by contractual maturity, that were in an unrealized loss position are shown below. Actual
maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. All of our mortgage and other
asset-backed securities provide for periodic payments throughout their lives and are shown below as a separate line. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We hold fixed maturity securities with international exposure. As of March&nbsp;31, 2013, 15% of the carrying value of our fixed maturity
securities was comprised of corporate debt securities of issuers based outside of the United States and debt securities of foreign governments. All of these securities are denominated in U.S. dollars
and all are investment grade (NAIC designation of either 1 or 2), except for twelve securities with a total fair value of $74.5&nbsp;million which are all NAIC 3 and one security (fair value of
$2.3&nbsp;million) which has an NAIC 4 designation. Our investment professionals analyze each holding for credit risk by economic and other factors of each country and industry. The following table

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>At each balance sheet date, we identify invested assets which have characteristics (i.e.&nbsp;significant unrealized losses compared to amortized
cost and industry trends) creating uncertainty as to our future assessment of an other than temporary impairment. As part of this assessment, we review not only a change in current price relative to
its amortized cost but the issuer's current credit rating and the probability of full recovery of principal based upon the issuer's financial strength. Specifically for corporate issues we evaluate
the financial stability and quality of asset coverage for the securities relative to the term to maturity for the issues we own. A security which has a 25% or greater change in market price relative
to its amortized cost and a possibility of a loss of principal will be included on a list, which is referred to as our watch list. We exclude from this list securities with unrealized losses which are
related to market movements in interest rates and which have no factors indicating that such unrealized losses may be other than temporary as we do not intend to sell these securities and it is more
likely than not we will not have to sell these securities before a recovery is realized. In addition, we exclude our RMBS as we monitor all of our RMBS on a quarterly basis for changes in default
rates, loss severities and expected cash flows for the purpose of assessing potential other than temporary impairments and related credit losses to be recognized in </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A majority of the investment grade securities on the watch list have Eurozone exposure that has contributed to their depressed fair values. Our analysis of all
of the securities on the watch list that we have determined are temporarily impaired and their credit performance at March&nbsp;31, 2013 is as follows: </FONT></P>

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:arial;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>Finance:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;The decline in value of these securities, which
are rated investment grade, is due to the continued wide spreads as a result of the ongoing concerns relating to capital, asset quality and earnings stability due to the financial events of the past
three years and the ongoing events in the Eurozone, specifically the sovereign debt crisis. While these issuers have had their financial position and profitability weakened by the credit and liquidity
crisis, we have determined that these securities were not other than temporarily impaired due to our evaluation of the operating performance and the credit worthiness of each individual issuer. </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

relates to ongoing operational issues or recent corporate actions. These issues have caused the price for these securities to decline; however, the companies have strong liquidity and ample time to
strengthen their credit profile. We have determined that these securities were not other than temporarily impaired due to the issuers' very strong market position; restructuring actions that are
expected to favorably impact future profitability; and a history of strong, reliable operating performance, improving economic conditions and rising security prices. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Other than temporary impairments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We have a policy and process in place to identify securities in our investment portfolio for which we should recognize impairments. See "Critical
accounting policies&#151;Evaluation of other than temporary impairments." We recognized other than temporary impairments and additional credit losses on a number of securities for which we have
previously recognized OTTI. A summary of OTTI is presented in Note&nbsp;3 to our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Several
factors led us to believe that full recovery of amortized cost will not be expected. A discussion of these factors and our policy and process in place to identify securities that could

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Mortgage loans on real estate  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of mortgage loans collateralized by the related properties and diversified as to property type,
location and loan size. Our mortgage lending policies establish limits on the amount that can be loaned to one borrower and other criteria to attempt to reduce the risk of default. Our commercial
mortgage
loans on real estate are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts net of valuation allowances. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, the
largest principal amount outstanding for any single mortgage loan was $14.8&nbsp;million, $15.0&nbsp;million and $10.2&nbsp;million, respectively, and the average loan size was
$2.5&nbsp;million, $2.4&nbsp;million and $2.4&nbsp;million, respectively. We have the contractual ability to pursue full personal recourse on 11.6% of the loans and partial personal recourse on
34.3% of the loans. In addition, the average loan to value ratio for the overall portfolio was 56.1%, 53.5% and 54.5% at March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and December&nbsp;31, 2011,
respectively, based upon the underwriting and appraisal at the time the loan was made. This loan to value is indicative of our conservative underwriting policies and practices for making commercial
mortgage loans and may not be indicative of collateral values at the current reporting date. Our current practice is to only obtain market value appraisals of the underlying collateral at the
inception of the loan unless we identify indicators of impairment in our ongoing analysis of the portfolio, in which case, we either calculate a value of the collateral using a capitalization method
or obtain a current appraisal of the underlying collateral. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio is summarized by geographic region and property type in Note&nbsp;4 of our audited and unaudited
consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
the normal course of business, we commit to fund commercial mortgage loans up to 90&nbsp;days in advance. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, we had commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans totaling
$73.0&nbsp;million, with fixed interest rates ranging from 3.85% to 4.60%. During 2012 and 2013, the commercial mortgage loan industry has been very competitive. This competition has resulted in a
number of borrowers refinancing with other lenders. For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, we received $105.2&nbsp;million in cash for loans being paid in full compared to
$78.6&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, we received $439.7&nbsp;million in cash for loans being paid in full compared to
$107.6&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. Some of the loans being paid off have either reached their maturity or are nearing maturity; however, some borrowers are paying the
prepayment fee and refinancing at a lower rate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>See
Note&nbsp;4 to our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements for a presentation of our specific and general loan loss allowances, impaired loans, foreclosure activity and troubled
debt restructure analysis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
recorded impairment losses of $1.1&nbsp;million on one mortgage loan with outstanding principal due totaling $3.5&nbsp;million during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013. We recorded
impairment losses of $6.8&nbsp;million on twelve mortgage loans with outstanding principal due totaling $37.5&nbsp;million during the same period in 2012. We recorded impairment </FONT></P>

quarter of 2013. We also have eleven commercial mortgage loans at March&nbsp;31, 2013 with an outstanding principal balance of $28.3&nbsp;million that have been given "workout" terms which
generally allow for interest only payments or the capitalization of interest for a specified period of time and we have recorded specific loan loss allowances on four of these loans (principal balance
of $8.9&nbsp;million) of $3.2&nbsp;million. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, we had no commercial mortgage loans that were delinquent (60&nbsp;days or more past due at the reporting date). The total

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our derivative instruments primarily consist of call options purchased to provide the income needed to fund the annual index credits on our fixed
index annuity products. The fair value of the call options is based upon the amount of cash that would be required to settle the call options obtained from the counterparties adjusted for the
nonperformance risk of the counterparty. The nonperformance risk for each counterparty is based upon its credit default swap rate. We have no performance obligations related to the call options. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
recognize all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. None of our derivatives qualify for hedge accounting; thus, any change in the fair
value of the derivatives is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. A presentation of our derivative instruments along with a discussion of the business strategy involved
with our derivatives is included in Note&nbsp;5 to our audited and unaudited financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Liabilities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our liability for policy benefit reserves increased to $32.9&nbsp;billion at March&nbsp;31, 2013 from $31.8&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31,
2012, which increased from $28.1&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2011, primarily due to additional annuity sales as discussed above. Substantially all of our annuity products have a surrender
charge feature designed to reduce the risk of early withdrawal or surrender of the policies and to compensate us for our costs if policies are withdrawn early. Notwithstanding these policy features,
the withdrawal rates of policyholder funds may be affected by changes in interest rates and other factors. </FONT></P>

subsidiary trusts have issued fixed rate and floating rate trust preferred securities, and the trusts have used the proceeds from these offerings to purchase subordinated debentures from us. We
also issued subordinated debentures to the trusts in exchange for all of the common securities of each trust. The sole assets of the trusts are the subordinated debentures and any interest accrued
thereon. The terms of the preferred securities issued by each trust parallel the terms of the subordinated debentures. Our obligations under the subordinated debentures and related agreements provide
a full and unconditional guarantee of payments due under the trust preferred securities. Accounting standards for consolidation of variable interest entities specifically exempt qualifying special
purpose entities from consolidation; therefore, we do not consolidate our subsidiary trusts and record our subordinated debt obligations to the trusts and our equity investments in the trusts. See

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Liquidity requirements are met primarily by funds provided from operations. Our life subsidiaries generally receive adequate cash flow from annuity deposits and investment
income to meet their obligations. Annuity and life insurance liabilities are generally long-term in nature. However, a primary liquidity concern is the risk of an extraordinary level of
early policyholder withdrawals. We include provisions within our annuity policies, such as surrender charges, that help limit and discourage early withdrawals. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, approximately
96% of our annuity liabilities were subject to penalty upon surrender, with a weighted average remaining surrender charge period of 9.8&nbsp;years and a weighted average surrender charge rate of
15.3%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
insurance subsidiaries continue to have adequate cash flows from annuity deposits and investment income to meet their policyholder and other obligations. Net cash flows from annuity deposits and
funds returned to policyholders as surrenders, withdrawals and death claims were $531.4&nbsp;million in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 compared to $515.4&nbsp;million for the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012, with the increase attributable to a $6.6&nbsp;million increase in net annuity deposits after coinsurance and a $9.4&nbsp;million (after coinsurance) decrease in
funds returned to policyholders. We continue to invest the net proceeds from policyholder transactions and investment activities in high quality fixed maturity securities and fixed rate commercial
mortgage loans. As discussed above under "&#151;Our business and
profitability," we have been through several cycles of calls of our United States Government callable agency securities that has resulted in excess cash and other short-term investments
beginning in 2010. We reduced the average balance for excess cash and other short-term investments to $1.8&nbsp;billion during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 from
$2.7&nbsp;billion during the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. The average balance during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 was $759&nbsp;million. The growth of this balance
in 2012 was primarily attributable to calls of U.S. Government agency securities. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, we held $1.3&nbsp;billion in excess cash and other short-term investments
compared to $2.2&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2012. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, 31% of our fixed income securities have call features and 0.3% ($0.1&nbsp;billion) were subject to call
redemption. Another 8% ($1.8&nbsp;billion) will become subject to call redemption during the next twelve months, of which $522.3&nbsp;million are short-term U.S. Government agency
securities with a book yield of 0.76%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We, as the parent company, are a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiaries, and have no business operations. We need liquidity
primarily to service our debt, including the notes offered hereby, the convertible senior notes and subordinated debentures issued to subsidiary trusts, pay operating expenses and pay dividends to
stockholders. Our assets consist primarily of the capital stock and surplus notes of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our future cash flows depend upon the availability of dividends, surplus note
interest payments and other statutorily permissible payments from our subsidiaries, such as payments under our investment advisory agreements and tax allocation agreement with our subsidiaries. These
sources provide adequate cash flow to us to meet our current and reasonably foreseeable future obligations and we expect they will be adequate to fund our parent company cash flow requirements for </FONT></P>

and regulations of the states in which our life insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, which subject our life insurance subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions. These laws and regulations

statutory surplus at the preceding December&nbsp;31. For 2013, up to $165.6&nbsp;million can be distributed as dividends by American Equity Life without prior approval of the Iowa Insurance
Commissioner, and this figure has been updated and supersedes the $99.2&nbsp;million figure set forth in Note&nbsp;12 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended

authorities in the life subsidiary's state of domicile. American Equity Life's net gain from operations, earned surplus and total surplus are set forth below for the periods presented: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The maximum distribution permitted by law or contract is not necessarily indicative of an insurer's actual ability to pay such distributions, which may be constrained by business and
regulatory considerations, such as the impact of such distributions on surplus, which could affect the insurer's ratings or competitive position, the amount of premiums that can be written and the
ability to pay future dividends or make other distributions. Further, state insurance laws and regulations require that the statutory surplus of our life subsidiaries following any dividend or
distribution must be reasonable in relation to their outstanding liabilities and adequate for their financial needs. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of
capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength ratings from A.M.&nbsp;Best. Given recent economic events that have affected the insurance industry,
both regulators and rating agencies could become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, including increasing capital requirements for our insurance subsidiaries which, in turn, could
negatively affect the cash available to us from insurance subsidiaries. As of March&nbsp;31, 2013, we estimate American Equity Life has sufficient statutory capital and surplus, combined with
capital available to the holding company, to meet this rating objective. However, this capital may not be sufficient if significant future losses are incurred or A.M.&nbsp;Best modifies its rating
criteria and, given the current market conditions, access to additional capital could be limited. American Equity Life's total adjusted capital, regulatory required capital and risk-based
capital ratio were as follows for the periods presented: </FONT></P>

shown in this table are projected payments through the year 2031 which we are contractually obligated to pay to our annuity policyholders. The payments are derived from
actuarial models which assume a level interest rate scenario and incorporate assumptions regarding mortality and persistency, when applicable. These assumptions are based on our historical experience. </FONT></P>

period that principal amounts are due is determined by the earliest of the call/put date or the maturity date of each note payable. The amounts in the table above do not give
effect to the offering of the notes or the use of the net proceeds hereof, including the Exchange Offer. See "Capitalization." We expect that our interest expense will increase following the issuance
of the notes offered hereby. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT  style="font-size:8pt;line-height:9pt;">(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amount

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Inflation does not have a significant effect on our consolidated balance sheet. We have minimal investments in property, equipment or
inventories. To the extent that interest rates may change to reflect inflation or inflation expectations, there would be an effect on our balance sheet and operations. Lower interest rates and tighter
spreads experienced in recent periods have increased the value of our fixed maturity investments. It is likely that rising interest rates and wider spreads would have the opposite effect. It is not
possible to calculate the effect such changes in interest rates, if any, have had on our operating results. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Valuation of investments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our fixed maturity securities (bonds and redeemable preferred stocks maturing more than one year after issuance) and equity securities (common and
perpetual preferred stocks) classified as available for sale are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, if any, on these securities are included directly in stockholders' equity as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes and certain adjustments for assumed changes in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales
inducements. Unrealized gains and losses represent the difference between the amortized cost or cost basis and the fair value of these investments. We use significant judgment within the process used
to determine fair value of these investments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>GAAP
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
We categorize our investments into three levels of fair value hierarchy based on the priority of inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy defines the
highest priority inputs (Level&nbsp;1) as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The lowest priority inputs (Level&nbsp;3) are our own assumptions about what a market
participant would use in determining fair value such as estimated future cash flows. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
In such cases, a financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
categorize investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
independent pricing services also take into account perceived market movements and sector news, as well as a security's terms and conditions, including any features specific to that issue that may
influence risk and marketability. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs
may be necessary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
independent pricing services provide quoted market prices when available. Quoted prices are not always available due to market inactivity. When quoted market prices are not available, the third
parties use yield data and other factors relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics to determine fair value for securities that are not actively traded. We generally obtain one
value from our primary external pricing service. In situations where a price is not available from this service, we may obtain further quotes or prices from additional parties as needed. In addition,
for our callable United States Government sponsored agencies we obtain two broker quotes and take the average of two broker prices received. Market indices of similar rated asset class spreads are
considered for valuations and broker indications of similar securities are compared. Inputs used by the broker include market information, such as yield data and other factors relating to instruments
or securities with similar characteristics. Valuations and quotes obtained from third party commercial pricing services are non-binding and do not represent quotes on which one may execute
the disposition of the assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
validate external valuations at least quarterly through a combination of procedures that include the evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing services, analytical reviews and performance
analysis of the prices against trends, and maintenance of a securities watch list. Additionally, as needed we utilize discounted cash flow models or perform independent valuations on a
case-by-case basis of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing services. Although we do identify differences from time to time as
a result of these validation procedures, we did not make any significant adjustments as of March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Evaluation of other than temporary impairments and allowance for loan loss  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The evaluation of investments for other than temporary impairments involves significant judgment and estimates by management. We review and analyze
all investments on an ongoing basis for changes in market interest rates and credit deterioration. This review process includes analyzing our ability to recover the amortized cost or cost basis of
each investment that has a fair value that is lower than its amortized cost or cost and requires a high degree of management judgment and involves uncertainty. The evaluation of securities for other
than temporary impairments is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have a policy and process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other than temporary. This process involves monitoring market events and other items that
could impact issuers. The evaluation includes but is not limited to such factors as:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
determine whether other than temporary impairment losses should be recognized for debt and equity securities by assessing all facts and circumstances surrounding each security. Where the decline in
market value of debt securities is attributable to changes in market interest rates or to factors such as market volatility, liquidity and spread widening, and we anticipate recovery of all
contractual or expected cash flows, we do not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired because we do not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not we
will be required to sell these investments before a recovery of amortized cost, which may be maturity. For equity securities, we recognize an impairment charge in the period in which we do not have
the intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery of cost or we determine that the security will not recover to book value within a reasonable period of time. We determine what constitutes
a reasonable period of time on a security-by-security basis by considering all the evidence available to us, including the magnitude of any unrealized loss and its duration. In
any event, this period does not exceed 18&nbsp;months from the date of impairment for perpetual preferred securities for which there is evidence of deterioration in credit of the issuer and common
equity securities. For perpetual preferred securities absent evidence of a deterioration in credit of the issuer we apply an impairment model, including an anticipated recovery period, similar to a
debt security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Other
than temporary impairment losses on equity securities are recognized in operations. If we intend to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a debt
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, other than temporary impairment has occurred and the difference between amortized cost and fair value will be recognized as a loss in operations. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
we do not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security but also do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, an
impairment loss would be recognized in operations in the amount of the expected credit loss. We determine the amount of expected credit loss by calculating the present value of the cash flows expected
to be collected discounted at each security's acquisition yield based on our consideration of whether the security was of high credit quality at the time of acquisition. The difference between the
present value of expected future cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security is the amount of credit loss recognized in operations. The remaining amount of the other than temporary
impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
determination of the credit loss component of a residential mortgage-backed security is based on a number of factors. The primary consideration in this evaluation process is the issuer's ability

at time of purchase. Our review of these securities includes an analysis of the cash flow modeling under various default scenarios considering independent third party benchmarks, the seniority
of the specific tranche within the structure of the security, the composition of the collateral and the actual default, loss severity and prepayment experience exhibited. With the input of third party
assumptions for default projections, loss severity and prepayment expectations, we evaluate the cash flow projections to determine whether the security is performing in accordance with its contractual
obligation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
utilize the models from a leading structured product software specialist serving institutional investors. These models incorporate each security's seniority and cash flow structure. In
circumstances where the analysis implies a potential for principal loss at some point in the future, we use our "best estimate" cash flow projection discounted at the security's effective yield at
acquisition to determine the amount of our potential credit loss associated with this security. The discounted expected future cash flows equates to our expected recovery value. Any shortfall of the
expected recovery when compared to the amortized cost of the security will be recorded as the credit loss component of other than temporary impairment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
cash flow modeling is performed on a security-by-security basis and incorporates actual cash flows on the residential mortgage-backed securities through the current period,
as well as the projection of remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions including default rates, prepayment rates and loss severity rates. The default curves we use are tailored to the Prime
or Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities that we own, which assume lower default rates and loss severity for Prime securities versus Alt-A securities. These default
curves are scaled higher or lower depending on factors such as current underlying mortgage loan performance, rating agency loss projections, loan to value ratios, geographic diversity, as well as
other appropriate considerations. The default curves generally assume lower loss levels for older vintage securities versus more recent vintage securities, which reflects the decline in underwriting
standards over the years. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
determination of the credit loss component of a corporate bond (including redeemable preferred stocks) is based on the underlying financial performance of the issuer and their
ability to meet their contractual obligations. Considerations in our evaluation include, but are not limited to, credit rating changes, financial statement and ratio analysis, changes in management,
large changes in credit spreads, breaches of financial covenants and a review of the economic outlook for the industry and markets in which they trade. In circumstances where an issuer appears
unlikely to meet its future obligation, or the security's price decline is deemed other than temporary, an estimate of credit loss is determined. Credit loss is calculated using default probabilities
as derived from the credit default swaps markets in conjunction with recovery rates derived from independent third party analysis or a best estimate of credit loss. This credit loss rate is then
incorporated into a present value calculation based on an expected principal loss in the future discounted at the yield at the date of purchase and compared to amortized cost to determine the amount
of credit loss associated with the security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, for debt securities which we do not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell, but our intent changes due to changes or events that could not have been
reasonably anticipated, an other than temporary impairment charge is recognized. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, we then continue to review the other than temporarily impaired securities
for appropriate valuation on an ongoing basis. Unrealized losses </FONT></P>

be recognized in future periods through a charge to earnings, should we later conclude that the decline in fair value below amortized cost is other than temporary pursuant to our accounting policy
described above. The use of different methodologies and assumptions to determine the fair value of investments and the timing and amount of impairments may have a material effect on the amounts
presented in our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
evaluate our mortgage loan portfolio for the establishment of a loan loss reserve by specific identification of impaired loans and the measurement of an estimated loss for each individual loan
identified. A mortgage loan is impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If we determine that the value
of any specific mortgage loan is impaired, the carrying amount of the mortgage loan will be reduced to its fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. In addition, we analyze the mortgage loan portfolio for the need of a
general loan allowance for probable losses on all other loans. The amount of the general loan allowance is based upon management's evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, historical
loss experience, delinquencies, credit concentrations, underwriting standards and national and local economic conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
commercial mortgage loan portfolio has had a population of mortgage loans that we have been carrying with workout terms (e.g.&nbsp;interest only periods, period of suspended payments, etc.) and
a population of mortgage loans that have been in a delinquent status (i.e.&nbsp;more than 60&nbsp;days past due). It is from this population that we have been recognizing some impairment loss due
to nonpayment and eventual satisfaction of the loan by taking ownership of the collateral real estate. In most cases the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell such collateral has
been less than the outstanding principal amount of the mortgage loan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
general loan loss allowance for periods through September&nbsp;30, 2011 was calculated on the cumulative outstanding principal on loans making up the group of loans currently in workout terms
and loans currently more than 60&nbsp;days past due. We applied a factor to the total outstanding principal of these loans that was calculated as the average specific impairment loss for the most
recent four quarters divided by the sum of the average of the total outstanding principal of delinquent loans for the most recent four quarters and the average of the total outstanding principal of
loans in workout for the most recent four quarters. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we modified the calculation for determining our general loan loss allowance. The group of loans that we utilized to
calculate an estimate of general loan loss allowance were those that had a debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR") of less than 1.0. The DSCR is calculated by dividing the net Operating Income of the
mortgaged property by the contractual principal and interest payment due for the corresponding period. We developed the loss rates to apply to this group of loans by dividing the specific impairment
loss for the most recent four quarters by the principal outstanding of the loans with a DSCR of less than 1.0. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, we completed a process of rating the mortgage loans in our portfolio based on factors such as historical operating performance, loan to value ratio and
economic outlook, among others. We calculated a loss factor to apply to each rating based on historical losses we have recognized in our mortgage loan portfolio. We applied the loss factors to the
total principal outstanding within each rating category to determine an appropriate estimate of general loan loss allowance at December&nbsp;31, 2012. The change in </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Policy liabilities for fixed index annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We offer a variety of fixed index annuities with crediting strategies linked to the S&amp;P&nbsp;500 Index and other equity and bond market indices. We
purchase call options on the applicable indices as an investment to provide the income needed to fund the annual index credits on the index products. See "&#151;Financial
condition&#151;Derivative instruments." Certain derivative instruments embedded in the fixed index annuity contracts are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values and
changes in fair value are recognized immediately in our consolidated statements of operations in accordance with accounting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Accounting
for derivatives prescribes that the contractual obligations for future annual index credits are treated as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the expected life of the applicable
contracts. Policy liabilities for fixed index annuities are equal to the sum of the "host" (or guaranteed) component and the embedded derivative component for each fixed index annuity policy. The host
value is established at inception of the contract and accreted over the policy's life at a constant rate of interest. We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative component at each valuation
date by (i)&nbsp;projecting policy contract values and minimum guaranteed contract values over the expected lives of the contracts and (ii)&nbsp;discounting the excess of the projected contract
value amounts at the applicable risk free interest rates adjusted for our nonperformance risk related to those liabilities. The projections of policy contract values are based on our best estimate
assumptions for future policy growth and future policy decrements. Our best estimate assumptions for future policy growth include assumptions for the expected index credits on the next policy
anniversary date which are derived from the fair values of the underlying call options purchased to fund such index credits and the expected costs of annual call options we will purchase in the future
to fund index credits beyond the next policy anniversary. The projections of minimum guaranteed contract values include the same best estimate assumptions for policy decrements as were used to project
policy contract values. The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of operations as "Interest sensitive and index product benefits" represent amounts credited to policy liabilities pursuant
to accounting by insurance companies for certain long-duration contracts which include index credits through the most recent policy anniversary. The amounts reported in the consolidated
statements of operations as "Changes in fair value of embedded derivatives" equal the change in the difference between policy benefit reserves for fixed index annuities computed under the derivative
accounting standard and the long-duration contracts accounting standard at each balance sheet date. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
general, the change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives will not correspond to the change in fair value of the purchased call options because the purchased call options are one year
options while the options valued in the embedded derivatives represent the rights of the
contract holder to receive index credits over the entire period the fixed index annuities are expected to be in force, which typically exceeds 10&nbsp;years. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
most sensitive assumption in determining policy liabilities for fixed index annuities is the rates used to discount the excess projected contract values. As indicated above, the discount rate
reflects our nonperformance risk. If the discount rates used to discount the excess </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Costs relating to the production of new business are not expensed when incurred but instead are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs or
deferred sales inducements. Only costs which are expected to be recovered from future policy revenues and gross profits may be deferred. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Deferred
policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements are subject to loss recognition testing on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that may warrant loss recognition. Deferred policy
acquisition costs consist principally of commissions and certain costs of policy issuance. Deferred sales inducements consist of premium and interest bonuses credited to policyholder account balances.
See "Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" in Note&nbsp;1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for discussion of an accounting standards update
that modifies the definition of the types of costs that can be capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>For
annuity products, these costs are being amortized generally in proportion to expected gross profits from interest margins and, to a lesser extent, from product charges. Current and future period
gross profits/margins for fixed index annuities also include the impact of amounts recorded for the change in fair value of derivatives and the change in fair value of embedded derivatives. Current
period amortization is adjusted retrospectively through an unlocking process when estimates of current or future gross profits/margins (including the impact of realized investment gains and losses) to
be realized from a group of products are revised. Our estimates of future gross profits/margins are based on actuarial assumptions related to the underlying policies terms, lives of the policies,
yield on investments supporting the liabilities and level of expenses necessary to maintain the polices over their entire lives. Revisions are made based on historical results and our best estimates
of future experience. </FONT></P>

future gross profits vary based on a number of sources including investment spread margins, surrender charge income, policy persistency, policy administrative expenses and realized gains and
losses on investments including credit related other than temporary impairment losses. Estimated future gross profits are most sensitive to changes in investment spread margins, which are the most
significant component of gross profits. If estimated gross profits for all future years on business in force at December&nbsp;31, 2012 were to increase by 10%, our combined balance for deferred
policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements at
December&nbsp;31, 2012 would increase by $88.6&nbsp;million recorded through operations as a decrease to amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements.
Correspondingly, a 10% decrease in estimated gross profits for all future years would result in a $100.5&nbsp;million decrease in the combined December&nbsp;31, 2012 balances recorded through
operations as an increase to amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Deferred income taxes  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We account for income taxes using the liability method. This method provides for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated
financial statements for both taxes currently due and deferred. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial
reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. A temporary difference is a transaction, or amount of a transaction, that is recognized currently for financial reporting purposes but
will not be recognized for tax purposes until a future tax period, or is recognized currently for tax purposes but will not be recognized for financial reporting purposes until a future reporting
period. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted tax rates for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled to the amount of each temporary
difference. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
realization of deferred income tax assets is primarily based upon management's estimates of future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when management estimates, based on
available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be
established, as well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination, consideration is given to, among other things, the following:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We seek to invest our available funds in a manner that will maximize shareholder value and fund future obligations to policyholders
and debtors, subject to appropriate risk considerations. We seek to meet this objective through investments that: (1)&nbsp;consist substantially of investment grade fixed maturity securities;
(2)&nbsp;have projected returns which satisfy our spread targets; and (3)&nbsp;have characteristics which support the underlying
liabilities. Many of our products incorporate surrender charges, market interest rate adjustments or other features to encourage persistency. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
seek to maximize the total return on our available for sale investments through active investment management. Accordingly, we have determined that our available for sale portfolio of fixed maturity
securities is available to be sold in response to: (i)&nbsp;changes in market interest rates; (ii)&nbsp;changes in relative values of individual securities and asset sectors; (iii)&nbsp;changes
in prepayment risks; (iv)&nbsp;changes in credit quality outlook for certain securities; (v)&nbsp;liquidity needs: and (vi)&nbsp;other factors. An OTTI shall be considered to have occurred when
we have an intention to sell available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position. If we do not intend to sell a debt security, we consider all available evidence to make an assessment of
whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI will be considered to have occurred. </FONT></P>

rate risk is our primary market risk exposure. Substantial and sustained increases and decreases in market interest rates can affect the profitability of our products, the fair value of our
investments, and the amount of interest we pay on our floating rate subordinated debentures. Our floating rate trust preferred securities bear interest at the three month LIBOR plus 3.50% - 4.00%. Our
outstanding balance of floating rate trust preferred securities was $164.5&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2013, of which $85.5&nbsp;million has been swapped to a fixed rate and
$79.0&nbsp;million has been capped for a term of seven years beginning March or July 2014. See Note&nbsp;5 to our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements. The profitability of most
of our products depends on the spreads between interest yield on investments and rates credited on insurance liabilities. We have the ability to adjust crediting rates (caps, participation rates or
asset fee rates for index annuities) on substantially all of our annuity liabilities at least annually (subject to minimum guaranteed values). In addition, substantially all of our annuity products
have surrender and withdrawal penalty provisions designed to encourage persistency and to help ensure targeted spreads are earned. However, competitive factors, including the </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A
major component of our interest rate risk management program is structuring the investment portfolio with cash flow characteristics consistent with the cash flow characteristics of our insurance
liabilities. We use computer models to simulate cash flows expected from our
existing business under various interest rate scenarios. These simulations enable us to measure the potential gain or loss in fair value of our interest rate-sensitive financial
instruments, to evaluate the adequacy of expected cash flows from our assets to meet the expected cash requirements of our liabilities and to determine if it is necessary to lengthen or shorten the
average life and duration of our investment portfolio. The "duration" of a security is the time weighted present value of the security's expected cash flows and is used to measure a security's
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. When the durations of assets and liabilities are similar, exposure to interest rate risk is minimized because a change in value of assets should be largely
offset by a change in the value of liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
interest rates were to increase 10% (31 basis points) from levels at March&nbsp;31, 2013, we estimate that the fair value of our fixed maturity securities would decrease by approximately
$687.3&nbsp;million. The impact on stockholders' equity of such decrease (net of income taxes and certain adjustments for changes in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred
sales inducements) would be a decrease of $219.5&nbsp;million in the accumulated other comprehensive income and a decrease in stockholders' equity. The computer models used to estimate the impact of
a 10% change in market interest rates incorporate numerous assumptions require significant estimates and assume an immediate and parallel change in interest rates without any management of the
investment portfolio in reaction to such change. Consequently, potential changes in value of our financial instruments indicated by the simulations will likely be different from the actual changes
experienced under given interest rate scenarios, and the differences may be material. Because we actively manage our investments and liabilities, our net exposure to interest rates can vary over time.
However, any such decreases in the fair value of our fixed maturity securities (unless related to credit concerns of the issuer requiring recognition of an other than temporary impairment) would
generally be realized only if we were required to sell such securities at losses prior to their maturity to meet our liquidity needs, which we manage using the surrender and withdrawal provisions of
our annuity contracts and through other means. See "&#151;Financial condition&#151;Liquidity and capital resources&#151;Liquidity for insurance operations." </FONT></P>

March&nbsp;31, 2013, 31% of our fixed income securities have call features and 0.3% ($0.1&nbsp;billion) were subject to call redemption. Another 8% ($1.8&nbsp;billion) will become subject to
call redemption during the next twelve months, of which $522.3&nbsp;million are short-term U.S. Government agency securities with a book yield of 0.76%. During the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, we received $0.3&nbsp;billion and $1.9&nbsp;billion, respectively, in redemption proceeds related to the exercise of such call options. During the years ended

the net proceeds in assets with credit quality and yield characteristics similar to the redeemed bonds. Such reinvestment risk typically occurs in a declining rate environment. Should rates
decline to levels which tighten the spread between our average portfolio yield and average cost of interest credited on annuity liabilities, we have the ability to reduce crediting rates (caps,
participation rates or asset fees for index annuities) on most of our annuity liabilities to maintain the spread at our targeted level. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, approximately 99% of our annuity
liabilities were subject to annual adjustment of the applicable crediting rates at our discretion, limited by minimum guaranteed crediting rates specified in the policies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
purchase call options on the applicable indices to fund the annual index credits on our fixed index annuities. These options are primarily one-year instruments purchased to match the
funding requirements of the underlying policies. Fair value changes associated with those investments are substantially offset by an increase or decrease in the amounts added to policyholder account
balances for fixed index products. For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, the annual index credits to policyholders on their anniversaries were $135.3&nbsp;million and
$50.7&nbsp;million, respectively. Proceeds received at expiration of these options related to such credits were $135.2&nbsp;million and $50.9&nbsp;million for the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Within
our hedging process we purchase options out of the money to the extent of anticipated minimum guaranteed interest on index policies. On the anniversary dates of the index policies, we purchase
new one-year call options to fund the next annual index credits. The risk associated with these prospective purchases is the uncertainty of the cost, which will determine whether we are
able to earn our spread on our index business. We manage this risk through the terms of our fixed index annuities, which permit us to change caps, participation rates and asset fees, subject to
contractual features. By modifying caps, participation rates or asset fees, we can limit option costs to budgeted amounts, except in cases where the contractual features would prevent further
modifications. Based upon actuarial testing which we conduct as a part of the design of our index products and on an ongoing basis, we believe the risk that contractual features would prevent us from
controlling option costs is not material. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Introduction  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are a leader in the development and sale of fixed index and fixed rate annuity products. We were incorporated in the state of Iowa
on December&nbsp;15, 1995. We are a full service underwriter of fixed annuity and life insurance products through our wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries, American Equity Investment Life
Insurance Company ("American Equity Life"), American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company of New York, and
Eagle Life Insurance Company ("Eagle Life"). Our business consists primarily of the sale of fixed index and fixed rate annuities and, accordingly, we have only one business segment. Our business
strategy is to focus on growing our annuity business and earning predictable returns by managing investment spreads and investment risk. We are currently licensed to sell our products in 50 states and
the District of Columbia. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Annuity market overview  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our target market includes the group of individuals ages 45-75 who are seeking to accumulate tax-deferred
savings. As of March&nbsp;31, 2013, our typical policyholder was 64.2&nbsp;years old, and the average contract fund value was $70,546. We believe that significant growth opportunities exist for
annuity products because of favorable demographic and economic trends. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were approximately 39&nbsp;million Americans age 65 and older in 2010, representing
13% of the U.S. population. By 2030, this sector of the population is expected to increase to 20% of the total population. Our fixed index and fixed rate annuity products are particularly attractive
to this group as a result of the guarantee of principal with respect to those products, competitive rates of credited interest, tax-deferred growth and alternative payout options. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>According
to AnnuitySpec's Index Sales&nbsp;&amp; Market Report, total industry sales of fixed index annuities increased 27% to $34.0&nbsp;billion in 2012 from $26.8&nbsp;billion in 2008. Our wide
range of fixed index and fixed rate annuity products has enabled us to enjoy favorable growth during volatile equity and bond markets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Our strategy  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our business strategy is to grow our annuity business and earn predictable returns by managing investment spreads and investment
risk. Key elements of this strategy include the following:</FONT></P>

that our successful relationships with approximately 60 national marketing organizations represent a significant competitive advantage. Our objective is to improve the productivity and efficiency of
our core distribution channel by focusing our marketing and recruiting efforts on those independent agents capable of selling $1&nbsp;million or more of annuity premium annually. This level of
production qualifies them for our Gold Eagle program, which we introduced in 2007. We believe the Gold Eagle program has been effective as evidenced by the number of qualified Gold Eagle agents during
the last three calendar years ranging from 945 in 2012 to as many as 1,227 in 2011. Our Gold Eagle agents account for 59% of total production in 2012 and 57% of total production in 2011 and 2010. Gold
Eagle qualifiers receive a combination of cash and equity-based incentives as motivation for producing business for us. </FONT></DD></DL>

believe the equity-based incentive compensation component of our Gold Eagle program is unique in our industry and distinguishes us from our competitors. Our continuing focus on relationships and

intend to be at the forefront of the fixed index and fixed rate annuity industry in developing and introducing innovative and competitive products. We were one of the first companies to offer a fixed
index annuity that allows a choice among interest crediting strategies that includes both equity and bond indices as well as a traditional fixed rate strategy. We were also one of the first companies
to include a living income benefit rider with our fixed index annuities. We enhanced our living income benefit rider to provide policyholders with protection against inflation and an additional death
benefit. We believe that our continued focus on anticipating and responding to the product needs of our independent agents and policyholders will lead to increased customer loyalty, revenues and
profitability. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2>

challenged in the current extended low interest rate environment. However, we intend to continue to leverage our experience and expertise in managing the investment spread during a range of interest
rate environments to achieve, or work towards achieving, our targeted spreads. The target investment spread for our products ranges from 250 to 310 basis points. Our investment spread declined from
314 basis points in the first quarter of 2011 to 259 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2012. We have undertaken initiatives to increase our investment spread to 300 basis points, including
managing crediting rates to policyholders and reinvesting excess cash balances. As a result of these initiatives and other factors, our investment spread increased to 268 basis points in the first
quarter of 2013. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fixed index annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed index annuities allow policyholders to earn index credits based on the performance of a particular index without the risk of loss of their
principal. Most of these products allow policyholders to transfer funds once a year among several different crediting strategies, including one or more index based strategies and a traditional fixed
rate strategy. Approximately 97%, 97%, 95% and 95% of our fixed index annuity sales for the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, and the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were "premium bonus" products. The initial annuity deposit on these policies is increased
at issuance by a specified premium bonus ranging from 3% to 10%. Generally, there is a compensating adjustment in the surrender charges on the policy or the commission paid to the agent to offset the
premium bonus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
annuity contract value is equal to the sum of premiums paid, premium bonuses and interest credited ("index credits"), which is based upon an overall limit (or "cap") or a percentage (the
"participation rate") of the annual appreciation (based in certain situations on monthly averages or monthly point-to-point calculations) in a recognized index or benchmark.
Caps and participation rates limit the amount of annual interest the policyholder may earn in any one contract year and may be adjusted by us annually subject to stated minimums. Caps generally range
from 1% to 13.5% and participation rates generally range from 10% to 100%. In addition, some products have an "asset fee" ranging from 1.5% to 5%, which is deducted from annual interest to be
credited. For products with asset fees, if the annual appreciation in the index does not exceed the asset fee, the policyholder's index credit is zero. The minimum guaranteed contract values are equal
to 87.5% of the premium collected plus interest credited at an annual rate ranging from 1% to 3.5%. </FONT></P>

of March&nbsp;31, 2013, fixed index annuities using index-based strategies and fixed index annuities using fixed rate strategies represented 60% and 33%, respectively, of the total account value

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fixed rate annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed rate deferred annuities include annual reset and multi-year rate guaranteed products. Our annual reset fixed rate annuities have an
annual interest rate (the "crediting rate") that is guaranteed for the first policy year. After the first policy year, we have the discretionary ability to change the crediting rate once annually to
any rate at or above a guaranteed minimum rate. Our multi-year rate guaranteed annuities are similar to our annual reset products except that the initial crediting rate is guaranteed for
up to a seven-year period before it may be changed at our discretion. The guaranteed rate on our fixed rate deferred annuities ranges from 1% to 4%
and the initial guaranteed rate on our multi-year rate guaranteed policies ranges from 1.8% to 5%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
initial crediting rate is largely a function of the interest rate we can earn on invested assets acquired with new annuity deposits and the rates offered on similar products by our competitors.
For subsequent adjustments to crediting rates, we take into account the yield on our investment portfolio, annuity surrender assumptions, competitive industry pricing and crediting rate history for
particular groups of annuity policies with similar characteristics. As of March&nbsp;31, 2013, crediting rates on our outstanding fixed rate deferred annuities generally ranged from 1.6% to 5%. The
average crediting rate on our outstanding fixed rate deferred annuities at March&nbsp;31, 2013 was 3.11%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
of March&nbsp;31, 2013, fixed rate annuities represented 7% of the total account value of our annuity deposits of $28.5&nbsp;billion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Single premium immediate annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We also sell single premium immediate annuities ("SPIAs"). Our SPIAs are designed to provide a series of periodic payments for a fixed period of time
or for life, according to the policyholder's choice at the time of issue. The amounts, frequency and length of time of the payments are fixed at the outset of the annuity contract. SPIAs are often
purchased by persons at or near retirement age who desire a steady stream of payments over a future period of years. The implicit interest rate on SPIAs is based on market conditions when the policy
is issued. The implicit interest rate on our outstanding SPIAs averaged 2.36% at March&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Withdrawal options&#151;fixed index and fixed rate annuities  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Policyholders are typically permitted penalty-free withdrawals of up to 10% of the contract value in each year after the first year,
subject to limitations. Withdrawals in excess of allowable penalty-free amounts are assessed a surrender charge during a penalty period which ranges from 5 to 17&nbsp;years for fixed
index annuities and 3 to 15&nbsp;years for fixed rate annuities from the date the policy is issued. This surrender charge initially ranges from 4.7% to 20% for fixed index annuities and 8% to 25%
for fixed rate annuities of the contract value and generally decreases by approximately one to two percentage points per year during the surrender charge period. Surrender charges are set
at levels aimed at protecting us from loss on early terminations and reducing the likelihood of policyholders terminating their policies during periods of increasing interest rates. This practice
lengthens the effective duration of the policy liabilities and enhances our ability to maintain profitability on such policies. The policyholder </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Beginning
in July 2007, substantially all of our fixed index annuity policies were issued with a lifetime income benefit rider. This rider provides an additional liquidity option to policyholders.
With the lifetime income benefit rider, a policyholder can elect to receive guaranteed payments for life from their contract without requiring them to annuitize their contract value. The amount of the
living income benefit available is determined by the growth in the policy's income account value as defined in the rider (4.5% to 8.0%) and the policyholder's age at the time the policyholder elects
to begin receiving living income benefit payments. Living income benefit payments may be stopped and restarted at the election of the policyholder. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>These products include traditional ordinary and term, universal life and other interest-sensitive life insurance products. We have approximately
$2.4&nbsp;billion of life insurance in force as of March&nbsp;31, 2013. We intend to continue offering life insurance products for individual and group markets. Premiums related to this business
accounted for 1% or less of revenues for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Investments and spread management  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Investment activities are an integral part of our business, and net investment income is a significant component of our total
revenues. Profitability of many of our products is significantly affected by spreads between interest yields on investments, the cost of options to fund the annual index credits on our fixed index
annuities and rates credited on our fixed rate annuities. We manage the index-based risk component of our fixed index annuities by purchasing call options on the applicable indices to fund the annual
index credits on these annuities and by adjusting the caps, participation rates and asset fees on policy anniversary dates to reflect the change in the cost of such options which varies based on
market conditions. All options are purchased to fund the index credits on our fixed index annuities on their respective anniversary dates, and new options are purchased at each of the anniversary
dates to fund the next annual index credits. All crediting rates on non-multi-year rate guaranteed fixed rate deferred annuities may be changed annually, subject to minimum
guarantees. Changes in caps, participation rates and asset fees on fixed index annuities and crediting rates on fixed rate annuities may not be sufficient to maintain targeted investment spreads in
all economic and market environments. In addition, competition and other factors, including the potential for increases in surrenders and withdrawals, may limit our ability to adjust or to maintain
caps, participation rates, asset fees and crediting rates at levels necessary to avoid narrowing of spreads under certain market conditions. </FONT></P>

excellent relationships with our existing agency force. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
actively recruit new agents and terminate those agents who have not produced business for us in recent periods and are unlikely to sell our products in the future. In our recruitment efforts, we
emphasize that agents have direct access to our executive officers, giving us an edge in recruiting over larger and foreign-owned competitors. We also emphasize our products, service and our Gold
Eagle program which provides unique cash and equity-based incentives to those agents selling $1&nbsp;million or more of annuity premium annually. Our Gold Eagle agents accounted for 59% of total
production in 2012 and 57% of total production in 2011 and 2010. We also have favorable relationships with our national marketing organizations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
insurance distribution system is comprised of insurance brokers and marketing organizations. We are pursuing a strategy to increase the efficiency of our distribution network by strengthening our
relationships with key national and regional marketing organizations, and we seek opportunities to establish relationships with organizations not presently associated with us. These organizations
typically recruit agents for us by advertising our products and our commission structure through direct mail advertising or seminars for insurance agents and brokers. These organizations bear most of
the cost incurred in marketing our products. We compensate marketing organizations by paying them a percentage of the commissions earned on new annuity policy sales generated by the agents recruited
by such organizations. We also conduct incentive programs for marketing organizations and agents from time to time, including equity-based programs for our leading national marketers and those agents
qualifying for our Gold Eagle program. We generally do not enter into exclusive arrangements with these marketing organizations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, we formed Eagle Life with the goal of developing a network of broker-dealer firms and registered investment advisors to distribute our fixed index annuity products. We believe this to be
the most effective means of building a core distribution channel of selling firms with representatives capable of selling $1&nbsp;million or more of annuity premium annually. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Three
of our national marketing organizations accounted for more than 10% of the annuity deposits and insurance premiums collected during 2012, and we expect these organizations to continue as
marketers for American Equity Life with a focus on selling our products. The states
with the largest share of direct premiums collected during 2012 were: Florida (9.3%), California (8.7%), Illinois (6.4%), Texas (6.4%) and Pennsylvania (5.4%). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We operate in a highly competitive industry. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and enjoy substantially greater
financial resources, higher ratings by rating agencies, broader and more diversified product lines and more widespread agency relationships. Our annuity products compete with fixed index, fixed rate
and variable annuities sold by other insurance companies and also with mutual fund products, traditional bank investments and other investment and retirement funding alternatives offered by asset
managers, banks, and broker-dealers. Our insurance products compete with products of other insurance companies, financial intermediaries and other institutions based on a number of features, including

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Financial
strength ratings generally involve quantitative and qualitative evaluations by rating agencies of a company's financial condition and operating performance. Generally, rating agencies base
their ratings upon information furnished to them by the insurer and upon their own investigations, studies and assumptions. Ratings are based upon factors of concern to policyholders, agents and
intermediaries and are not directed toward the protection of investors and are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition to the financial strength ratings, rating agencies use an "outlook statement" to indicate a medium or long-term trend which, if continued, may lead to a rating change. A
positive outlook indicates a rating may be raised and a negative outlook indicates a rating may be lowered. A stable outlook is assigned when ratings are not likely to be changed. Outlook statements
should not be confused with expected stability of the insurer's financial or economic performance. A rating may have a "stable" outlook to indicate that the rating is not expected to change, but a
"stable" outlook does not preclude a rating agency from changing a rating at any time without notice. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
January 2013, A.M.&nbsp;Best affirmed its rating outlook on the U.S. life/annuity sector as stable, which has been A.M.&nbsp;Best's outlook on our industry since 2010. In November 2012,
Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor's issued its outlook on the U.S. life insurance sector as cautious, which changed from their stable outlook since late 2010. Broad economic uncertainties such as the low
interest rate environment, relatively high unemployment and potential low sales of life insurance products are listed as factors by Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor's for their modification to a cautious
outlook from their prior stable outlook. We believe the rating agencies think the economic recovery will continue to be slow, which may leave the potential for further credit losses, and low interest
rates will put pressure on life insurers' earnings. The rating agencies have heightened the level of scrutiny they apply to insurance companies, increased the frequency and scope of their credit
reviews, and may adjust upward the capital and other requirements employed in the rating agency models for maintenance of certain ratings levels. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A.M. Best Company ratings currently range from "A++" (Superior) to "F" (In Liquidation), and include 16 separate ratings categories. Within these categories, "A++" (Superior)
and "A+" (Superior) are the highest, followed by "A" (Excellent) and "A-" (Excellent) then followed by "B++" (Good) and "B+" (Good). Publications of&nbsp;A.M. Best Company indicate that
the "A-" rating is assigned to those companies that, in&nbsp;A.M. Best Company's opinion, have demonstrated an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. </FONT></P>

Poor's insurer financial strength ratings currently range from "AAA (extremely strong)" to "R (under regulatory supervision)," and include 21 separate ratings categories, while "NR"
indicates that Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor's has no opinion about the insurer's financial strength. Within these categories, "AAA" and "AA" are the highest, followed by "A" and "BBB." Publications of
Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor's indicate that an insurer rated "BBB" is regarded as having good financial security characteristics, but is more likely to be affected by adverse business conditions than are
higher rated insurers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fitch
Ratings ratings currently range from "AAA" (High Credit Quality) to "D" (Default), and include 12 separate ratings categories, while "NR" indicates that Fitch Ratings has no opinion about the
insurer's financial strength. Within these categories, "AAA" and "AA" are the highest, followed by "A," "BBB," "BB" and "B." Publications of Fitch Ratings state that "BB" ratings indicate an elevated
vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists which supports the servicing
of financial commitments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A.M.
Best Company, Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor's and Fitch Ratings review their ratings of insurance companies from time to time. There can be no assurance that any particular rating will continue for any
given period of time or that it will not be changed or withdrawn entirely if, in their judgment, circumstances so warrant. If our ratings were to be negatively adjusted for any reason, we could

and fixed rate annuities issued from August&nbsp;1, 2001 through December&nbsp;31, 2001, 40% of those contracts issued during 2002 and 2003, and 20% of those contracts issued from
January&nbsp;1, 2004 to July&nbsp;31, 2004. The business reinsured under these agreements may not be recaptured without the consent of EquiTrust. Coinsurance deposits (aggregate policy benefit
reserves transferred to EquiTrust under these agreements) were $1.0&nbsp;billion, $1.0&nbsp;billion and $1.1&nbsp;billion at March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and
December&nbsp;31, 2011, respectively. We remain liable to policyholders with respect to the policy liabilities ceded to EquiTrust should EquiTrust fail to meet the obligations it has coinsured.
EquiTrust has received a financial strength rating of "B+" (Good) with a stable outlook from&nbsp;A.M. Best Company. None of the coinsurance deposits with EquiTrust are deemed by management to be
uncollectible. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Effective
July&nbsp;1, 2009, we entered into two funds withheld coinsurance agreements with Athene Life Re&nbsp;Ltd. ("Athene"), an unauthorized life reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda. One agreement

March&nbsp;31, 2010. The business reinsured under this agreement is not eligible for recapture until the end of the month following seven years after the date of issuance of the policy. The
other agreement cedes 80% of our multi-year rate guaranteed annuities issued on or after July&nbsp;1, 2009. The business reinsured under this agreement may not be recaptured. Coinsurance
deposits (aggregate policy benefit reserves transferred to Athene under these agreements) were $1.9&nbsp;billion, $1.9&nbsp;billion and $1.7&nbsp;billion at March&nbsp;31, 2013,
December&nbsp;31, 2012 and December&nbsp;31, 2011, respectively. We remain liable to policyholders with respect to the policy liabilities ceded to Athene should Athene fail to meet the obligations
it has coinsured. The annuity deposits that have been ceded to Athene are being held in a trust on a funds withheld basis. American Equity Life is named as the sole beneficiary of the trust. The funds
withheld assets, combined with any assets held in trust for the benefit of American Equity Life and any letters of credit established by Athene for the benefit of American Equity Life, are required to
remain at a combined value that is sufficient to support the policy benefit liabilities ceded to Athene on a statutory basis. If the combined value of the funds withheld account, any assets held in
trust for the benefit of American Equity Life and any letters of credit established by Athene for the benefit of American Equity Life, would ever reach a point where their combined value is less than
the amount of the policy benefit liabilities ceded to Athene on a statutory basis, Athene is required to deposit additional assets into the funds withheld account, establish an additional letter of
credit or deposit additional securities in a trust, as the case may be, for the amount of any shortfall. None of the coinsurance deposits with Athene are deemed by management to be uncollectible. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Financing arrangements  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>American Equity Life has three reinsurance transactions with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America, ("Hannover"), which are treated as
reinsurance under statutory accounting practices and as financing arrangements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The statutory surplus benefits under these agreements are
eliminated under GAAP and the associated charges are recorded as risk charges and included in other operating costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The transactions became
effective October&nbsp;1, 2005 (the "2005 Hannover Transaction"), December&nbsp;31, 2008 (the "2008 Hannover Transaction") and March&nbsp;31, 2011 (the
"2011 Hannover Transaction"). The 2008 Hannover Transaction and the 2011 Hannover Transaction terminate after the final year of surplus reduction (see following discussion of each agreement), and the
statutory surplus benefit is reduced over a five year period and is eliminated upon termination. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2011 Hannover Transaction is a coinsurance and yearly renewable term reinsurance agreement for statutory purposes and provided $49.2&nbsp;million in net pretax statutory surplus benefit at
inception in 2011. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, pretax statutory surplus was reduced by $11.8&nbsp;million and $9.2&nbsp;million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is expected to be
reduced as follows: 2013&#151;$11.3&nbsp;million, 2014&#151;$10.8&nbsp;million, and 2015&#151;$10.3&nbsp;million. These amounts include risk charges equal to 1.25% of the
pretax statutory surplus benefit as of the end of each calendar quarter. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2008 Hannover Transaction is a coinsurance and yearly renewable term reinsurance agreement for statutory purposes and provided $29.5&nbsp;million in net pretax statutory surplus benefit in 2008.

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2005 Hannover Transaction is a yearly renewable term reinsurance agreement for statutory purposes covering 47% of waived surrender charges related to penalty free withdrawals and deaths on certain
business. The agreement has been amended several times to include policy forms that were not in existence at the time this agreement became effective. We may recapture the risks reinsured under this
agreement as of the end of any quarter. The reserve credit recorded on a statutory basis by American Equity Life was $184.7&nbsp;million, $180.3&nbsp;million and $162.5&nbsp;million at
March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and December&nbsp;31, 2011, respectively. We pay quarterly reinsurance premiums under this agreement with an experience refund calculated on a
quarterly basis resulting in a risk charge equal to approximately 5.8% of the weighted average statutory reserve credit. The experience refund is no longer payable to American Equity Life after
December&nbsp;31, 2015. Since American Equity Life will no longer receive an experience refund after December&nbsp;31, 2015, the agreement is punitive to us if we do not exercise our rights to
recapture prior to January&nbsp;1, 2016. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Indemnity reinsurance  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Consistent with the general practice of the life insurance industry, American Equity Life enters into agreements of indemnity reinsurance with other
insurance companies in order to reinsure portions of the coverage provided by its annuity, life and accident and health insurance products. Indemnity reinsurance agreements are intended to limit a
life insurer's maximum loss on a large or unusually hazardous risk or to diversify its risks. Indemnity reinsurance does not discharge the original insurer's primary liability to the insured. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
maximum loss retained by us on all life insurance policies we have issued was $0.1&nbsp;million or less as of December&nbsp;31, 2012. American Equity Life's reinsured business under indemnity
reinsurance agreements is primarily ceded to two reinsurers. Reinsurance related to life and accident and health insurance that was ceded by us to these reinsurers was immaterial. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
2007, American Equity Life entered into reinsurance agreements with Ace Tempest Life Reinsurance&nbsp;Ltd and Hannover to cede to each 50% of the risk associated with our living income
benefit rider on certain fixed index annuities issued in 2007. The amounts ceded under these agreements were immaterial as of and for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
life subsidiaries are subject to periodic examinations by state regulatory authorities. The New York Insurance Department is currently performing its usual tri-annual financial exam of
American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company of New York for the period ending December&nbsp;31, 2010. This exam is anticipated to be completed in 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
payment of dividends or the distributions, including surplus note payments, by our life subsidiaries is subject to regulation by each subsidiary's state of domicile's insurance department.
Currently, American Equity Life may pay dividends or make other distributions without the prior approval of the Iowa Insurance Commissioner, unless such payments, together with all other such payments
within the preceding twelve months, exceed the greater of (1)&nbsp;American Equity Life's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year, or (2)&nbsp;10% of American Equity
Life's statutory surplus at the preceding December&nbsp;31. For 2013, up to $165.6&nbsp;million can be distributed as dividends by American Equity Life without prior approval of the Iowa Insurance
Commissioner. In addition, dividends and surplus note payments may be made only out of earned surplus, and all surplus note payments are subject to prior approval by regulatory authorities. American
Equity Life had $745.5&nbsp;million of statutory earned surplus at March&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Most
states have also enacted regulations on the activities of insurance holding company systems, including acquisitions, extraordinary dividends, the terms of surplus notes, the terms of
affiliate transactions and other related matters. We are registered pursuant to such legislation in Iowa. A number of state legislatures have also considered or have enacted legislative proposals that
alter and, in many cases, increase the authority of state agencies to regulate insurance companies and holding company systems. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Most
states, including Iowa and New York where our life subsidiaries are domiciled, have enacted legislation or adopted administrative regulations affecting the acquisition of control of insurance
companies as well as transactions between insurance companies and persons controlling them. The nature and extent of such legislation and regulations currently in effect vary from state to state.
However, most states require administrative approval of the direct or indirect acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an insurance </FONT></P>

incorporated in the state. The acquisition of 10% of such securities is generally deemed to be the acquisition of "control" for the purpose of the holding company statutes and requires not
only the filing of detailed information concerning the acquiring parties and the plan of acquisition, but also administrative approval prior to the acquisition. In many states, the insurance authority
may find that "control" in fact does not exist in circumstances in which a person owns or controls more than 10% of the voting securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Historically,
the federal government has not directly regulated the business of insurance. However, federal legislation and administrative policies in several areas, including pension regulation, age
and sex discrimination, financial services regulation, securities regulation and federal taxation can significantly affect the insurance business. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") generally provides for enhanced federal supervision of financial institutions, including insurance companies in certain
circumstances, and financial activities that represent a systemic risk to financial stability or the U.S. economy. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, a Federal Insurance Office has been established
within the U.S. Treasury Department to monitor all aspects of the insurance industry and its authority will likely extend to our business, although the Federal Insurance Office is not empowered with
any general regulatory authority over insurers. The director of the Federal Insurance Office serves in an advisory capacity to the newly established Financial Stability Oversight Council and will have
the ability to recommend that an insurance company be subject to heightened prudential standards by the Federal Reserve, if it is determined that financial distress at the company could pose a threat
to financial stability in the U.S. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides for the preemption of state laws when inconsistent with certain international agreements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>State
insurance regulators and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") are continually reexamining existing laws and regulations and developing new legislation for the passage by
state legislatures and new regulations for adoption by insurance authorities. Proposed laws and regulations or those still under development pertain to insurer solvency and market conduct and in

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
NAIC's RBC requirements are intended to be used by insurance regulators as an early warning tool to identify deteriorating or weakly capitalized insurance companies for the purpose of initiating
regulatory action. The RBC formula defines a minimum capital standard which supplements low, fixed minimum capital and surplus requirements previously implemented on a
state-by-state basis. Such requirements are not designed as a ranking mechanism for adequately capitalized companies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
NAIC's RBC requirements provide for four levels of regulatory attention depending on the ratio of a company's total adjusted capital to its RBC. Adjusted capital is defined as the total of
statutory capital and surplus, asset valuation reserve and certain other adjustments. Calculations using the NAIC formula at December&nbsp;31, 2012, indicated that American Equity Life's ratio of
total adjusted capital to the highest level at which regulatory action might be initiated was 332%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
life subsidiaries also may be required, under the solvency or guaranty laws of most states in which they do business, to pay assessments up to certain prescribed limits to fund policyholder losses
or liabilities of insolvent insurance companies. These assessments may be deferred or forgiven under most guaranty laws if they would threaten an insurer's financial strength and, in certain
instances, may be offset against future premium taxes. Assessments related to business reinsured for periods prior to the effective date of the reinsurance are the responsibility of the ceding
companies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Federal income tax  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The annuity and life insurance products that we market generally provide the policyholder with a federal income tax advantage, as
compared to certain other savings investments such as certificates of deposit and taxable bonds, in that federal income taxation on any increases in the contract values (i.e.,&nbsp;the "inside
build-up") of these products is deferred until it is received by the policyholder. With other savings
investments, the increase in value is generally taxed each year as it is realized. Additionally, life insurance death benefits are generally exempt from income tax. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>From
time to time, various tax law changes have been proposed that could have an adverse effect on our business, including the elimination of all or a portion of the income tax advantage described
above for annuities and life insurance. If legislation were enacted to eliminate the tax deferral for annuities, such a change would have an adverse effect on our ability to sell
non-qualified annuities. Non-qualified annuities are annuities that are not sold to an individual retirement account or other qualified retirement plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Beginning
in 2013, distributions from non-qualified annuity policies will be considered "investment income" for purposes of the newly enacted Medicare tax on investment income contained in
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. As a result, in certain circumstances a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or the entire taxable portion of distributions from
non-qualified annuities to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. This new tax may have an adverse effect on our ability to sell non-qualified annuities to
individuals whose income exceeds these threshold amounts. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, we establish an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and
estimable. As a litigation or regulatory matter is developing, we, in conjunction with outside counsel, evaluate on an ongoing basis whether the matter presents a loss contingency that meets
conditions indicating the need for accrual and/or disclosure, and if not the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments. If and when the loss contingency related to litigation or
regulatory matters is deemed to be both probable and estimable, we establish an accrued liability with respect to that matter and continue to monitor the matter for further developments that may
affect the amount of the accrued liability. We recorded an estimated litigation liability of $17.5&nbsp;million during the third quarter of 2012 based on developments in the mediation of the matter

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The

Anagnostis, Regina Bush by and through Sharon Schipiour, Lenice Mathews by and through Mary Ann Maclean and George Miller. The allegations generally attack the suitability of sales of
deferred annuity products to persons over the age of 65. The plaintiffs seek rescission and injunctive relief including restitution and disgorgement of profits on behalf of all class members under
California Business&nbsp;&amp; Professions Code section&nbsp;17200 et seq. and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act; compensatory damages for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and
abetting of breach of fiduciary duty; unjust enrichment and constructive trust; and other pecuniary damages under California Civil Code section&nbsp;1750 and California Welfare&nbsp;&amp; Institutions
Codes section&nbsp;15600 et seq. We have participated in mediation sessions with plaintiffs' counsel since 2011 where potential settlement terms have been discussed. Based upon the current status of
those discussions, the $17.5&nbsp;million litigation liability referred to above represents our best estimate of probable loss with respect to this litigation. However, a formal settlement has not
been reached, the potential settlement has not been reviewed by the court and other factors could potentially result in a change in this estimate as further developments take place. In light of the
inherent uncertainties involved in the pending purported class action lawsuit, there can be no assurance that such litigation, or any other pending or future litigation, will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Existing revolving credit facility  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During 2011, we entered into a $160.0&nbsp;million revolving line of credit agreement with seven banks that matures on
January&nbsp;28, 2014 ("our existing revolving credit facility"). In connection with the redemption of our December 2024 Notes, on May&nbsp;14, 2013, we drew $15.0&nbsp;million on our existing
revolving credit facility. As of May&nbsp;31, 2013, we had
outstanding borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility of $15.0&nbsp;million. We expect to repay these outstanding borrowings with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. See
"Use of proceeds." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
existing revolving credit facility permits us, on up to three occasions, to seek incremental increases in the commitments up to a maximum total commitment of $200.0&nbsp;million. Availability of
such incremental commitments will be subject to, among other conditions, the absence of any default under the revolving credit agreement and the receipt of commitments by existing or additional
financial institutions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
existing revolving credit facility is not secured by collateral and is not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Interest rates and fees  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The interest rate is floating at a rate based on our election that will be equal to the alternate base rate (as defined in the revolving credit
agreement) plus the applicable margin or the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in the revolving credit agreement) plus the applicable margin. We also pay a commitment fee on the available unused portion
of our existing revolving credit facility. The applicable margin and commitment fee rate are based on the credit rating for our senior unsecured long-term debt and can change throughout
the period of our existing revolving credit facility. Based upon the current credit rating for our senior unsecured long-term debt, the applicable margin is 2.00% for alternate base rate
borrowings and 3.00% for adjusted LIBOR rate borrowings, and the commitment fee is 0.50%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Covenants  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our existing revolving credit facility contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries

Notes"). The September 2015 Notes have a stated interest rate of 3.5%, mature on September&nbsp;15, 2015, and are intended to be settled in cash; however, in certain limited circumstances we have
the discretion to settle in shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Contractual interest payable on the September 2015 Notes began accruing in September
2010 and is payable semi-annually in arrears each March&nbsp;15th&nbsp;and September&nbsp;15th. The initial transaction fees and expenses totaling $6.8&nbsp;million were
capitalized as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the term of the September 2015 Notes using the effective interest method. </FONT></P>

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:arial;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>during any calendar quarter commencing after December&nbsp;31, 2010, the September 2015 Notes may be converted if the

preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day. The "last reported sale price" means the closing sale price per share (or
if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in
composite transactions for the New York Stock Exchange; or </FONT><FONT SIZE=2>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
initial conversion rate for the September 2015 Notes is 80 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of September 2015 Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.50
per share of our common stock, with the amount due on conversion. Upon conversion, a holder will receive the sum of the daily settlement amounts, calculated on a proportionate basis for each day,
during a specified observation period following the conversion date. The conversion rate for the September 2015 Notes was adjusted to 80.9486 shares in December 2012, equivalent to a conversion price
of approximately $12.35 per share. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture for the September 2015 Notes, occurs prior to maturity and our stock price is at least $10.00 per share at that time, the conversion rate will
increase by an additional amount of up to 20 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of September 2015 Notes, which amount would be paid to each holder that elects to convert its 2015
notes at that time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
conversion option of the September 2015 Notes (the "2015 notes embedded conversion derivative") is an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation from the September 2015 Notes and is accounted
for as a derivative liability, which is included in "Other liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the September 2015 Notes embedded conversion derivative at the time of
issuance of the September 2015 Notes was $37.0&nbsp;million, and was recorded at the original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the September 2015 Notes. This
discount will be recognized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the September 2015 Notes. The estimated fair value of the September 2015 Notes embedded conversion
derivative was $71.2&nbsp;million, $43.1&nbsp;million and $45.6&nbsp;million as of March&nbsp;31, 2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and December&nbsp;31, 2011, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Concurrently with the issuance of the September 2015 Notes, we entered into hedge transactions (the "September 2015 Notes Hedges") with two
counterparties whereby we have the option to receive the cash equivalent of the conversion spread on approximately 16.0&nbsp;million shares of our common stock based upon a strike price of $12.50
per share, subject to certain conversion rate adjustments in the September 2015 Notes. These options expire on September&nbsp;15, 2015 and must be settled in cash, except in limited
circumstances. The aggregate cost of the September 2015 Notes Hedges was $37.0&nbsp;million. The September 2015 Notes Hedges are accounted for as derivative assets, and are included in "Other
assets" in our consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of the September 2015 Notes Hedges was $71.2&nbsp;million, $43.1&nbsp;million and $45.6&nbsp;million as of March&nbsp;31,
2013, December&nbsp;31, 2012 and December&nbsp;31, 2011, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In separate transactions, we also sold warrants (the "2015 warrants") to two counterparties for the purchase of up to approximately
16.0&nbsp;million shares of our common stock at a price of $16.00 per share. The warrants expire on various dates from December 2015 through March 2016 and are intended to be settled in net shares.
The total number of shares of common stock deliverable under the 2015 warrants is, however, currently limited to 11.6&nbsp;million shares. We received $15.6&nbsp;million in cash proceeds from the
sale of the 2015 warrants, which has been recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital. Changes in the fair value of these warrants will not be recognized in our consolidated
financial statements as long as the instruments remain classified as equity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> December 2029 notes  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In December 2009, we issued $115.8&nbsp;million of contingent convertible senior notes due December&nbsp;15, 2029 (the "December
2029 Notes"), of which $15.6&nbsp;million was assigned to the equity component (net of income tax of $11.0&nbsp;million), $52.2&nbsp;million principal amount were issued for cash and
$63.6&nbsp;million were issued in exchange of $63.6&nbsp;million of the convertible senior notes due December&nbsp;15, 2024 (the "December 2024 Notes"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
December 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June&nbsp;6 and December&nbsp;6 of each year. In addition to
regular interest on the December 2029 Notes, beginning with the six-month interest period ending June&nbsp;6, 2015, we will also pay contingent interest under certain
conditions at a rate of 0.5% per annum based on the average trading price of the December 2029 Notes during a specified period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Holders
may convert any outstanding December 2029 Notes into cash and shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share of $9.57. This represents a conversion rate of approximately 104.5
shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of notes (the "conversion rate") for the December 2029 Notes. Subject to certain exceptions described in the indentures covering these notes, at
the time the notes are tendered for conversion, the value
(the "conversion value") of the cash and shares of our common stock, if any, to be received by a holder converting $1,000 principal amount of the notes will be determined by multiplying the conversion
rate by the "ten day average closing stock price," which equals the average of the closing per share prices of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the ten consecutive trading days
beginning on the second trading day following the day the notes are submitted for conversion. We will deliver the conversion value to holders as follows: (1)&nbsp;an amount in cash (the "principal
return") equal to the lesser of (a)&nbsp;the aggregate conversion value of the notes to be converted and (b)&nbsp;the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted, and (2)&nbsp;if the
aggregate conversion value of the notes to be converted is greater than the principal return, an amount in shares (the "net shares") equal to such aggregate conversion value less the principal return
(the "net share amount") and (3)&nbsp;an amount in cash in lieu of fractional shares of common stock. The number of net shares to be paid will be determined by dividing the net share amount by the
ten day average closing stock price. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We may redeem some or all of the December 2029 Notes at any time on or after December&nbsp;15, 2014. In addition, the holders may require us to
repurchase all or a portion of their December 2029 Notes on December&nbsp;15, 2014, 2019 and 2024, and upon a change in control, as defined in the indenture governing the notes, holders may require
us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for a period of time after the change in control. The redemption price or repurchase price shall be payable in cash and equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest (contingent interest and liquidated damages, if any) up to but not including the date of redemption or repurchase. </FONT></P>

discount is being amortized over the expected lives of the notes, which is December&nbsp;15, 2014 for the December 2029 Notes and September&nbsp;15, 2015 for the September 2015 Notes. The
effective interest rates during the discount amortization periods are 8.9% and 11.9% on the September 2015 Notes and December 2029 Notes, respectively. The interest cost recognized in operations for
the convertible notes, inclusive of the coupon and amortization of the discount and debt issue costs was $27.0&nbsp;million, $25.7&nbsp;million, and $14.7&nbsp;million for the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our wholly-owned subsidiary trusts (which are not consolidated) have issued fixed rate and floating rate trust preferred securities
and have used the proceeds from these offerings to purchase subordinated debentures from us. We also issued subordinated debentures to the trusts in exchange for all of the common securities of each
trust. The sole assets of the trusts are the subordinated debentures and any interest accrued thereon. The interest payment dates on the subordinated debentures correspond to the distribution dates on
the trust preferred securities issued by the trusts. The trust preferred securities mature simultaneously with the subordinated debentures. Our obligations under the subordinated debentures and
related agreements provide a full and unconditional guarantee of payments due under the trust preferred securities. All subordinated debentures are callable by us at any time, except for the Trust II
subordinated debt obligations. </FONT></P>

 </DIV>
 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The principal amount of the subordinated debentures issued by us to American Equity Capital Trust II ("Trust II") is $100.0&nbsp;million. These debentures
were assigned a fair value of $74.7&nbsp;million at the date of issue (based upon an effective yield-to-maturity of 6.8%). The difference between the fair value at the date
of issue and the principal amount is being accreted over the life of the debentures. The trust preferred securities issued by Trust II
were issued to Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, which owns more than 50% of the voting capital stock of FBL Financial Group,&nbsp;Inc. ("FBL"). The consideration received by Trust II in
connection with the issuance of its trust preferred securities consisted of fixed income securities of equal value which were issued by FBL. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Repurchase agreements  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As part of our investment strategy, we enter into securities repurchase agreements (short-term collateralized
borrowings). We had no borrowings under repurchase agreements during 2012 and 2010. The maximum amount borrowed during 2011 was $180&nbsp;million. When we do borrow cash on these repurchase
agreements, we pledge collateral in the form of debt securities with fair values approximately equal to the amount due and we use the cash to purchase debt securities ahead of the time we collect the
cash from selling annuity policies to avoid a lag between the investment of funds and the obligation to credit interest to policyholders. We earn investment income on the securities purchased with
these borrowings at a rate in excess of the cost of these borrowings. Such borrowings averaged $12.9&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on
amounts due under repurchase agreements was 0.23% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Company will issue the Notes under the base indenture, as amended and supplemented by a supplemental indenture between itself and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Trustee</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), dated as
of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, 2013 with respect to the Notes
between the Company and the Trustee (the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Supplemental Indenture</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"). For convenience, the base indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture,
is referred to as the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Indenture</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>." The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Trust Indenture Act</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The issuance of Notes in this offering
will be limited to $250,000,000. Following the Issue Date, additional Notes may be issued under the Indenture from time to time in an unlimited amount ("</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Additional
Notes</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>"), subject to compliance with the restrictions set forth in the covenant described below under the caption "&#151;Certain covenants&#151;Limitation on
indebtedness." Any Additional Notes will be part of the same series as the Notes offered hereby and will vote on all matters as a single series with the Notes offered in this offering (except as
otherwise
provided herein). The Indenture will permit the Company to designate the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to each series of Additional Notes, which may differ
from the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to the Notes issued on the Issue Date. Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate or
optional redemption provisions from the Notes issued on the Issue Date will constitute a different series of Notes from such initial Notes. Additional Notes that have the same maturity date, interest
rate and optional redemption provisions as the Notes issued on the Issue Date will be treated as the same series as such initial Notes unless otherwise designated by the Company; </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>provided</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><I>however</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with such initial Notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will be issued with a separate CUSIP number. The Company similarly will be entitled to vary the application of certain other provisions to any series
of Additional Notes. All references to the Notes include Additional Notes (unless indicated to the contrary). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>This
Description of the Notes is intended to be a summary of the material provisions of the Notes and the Indenture. Since this Description of the Notes is only a summary, you should refer to the
Indenture and the Notes for a complete description of the obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and your rights. This Description of the Notes supplements the description of the
senior debt securities set forth under the caption "Description of Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus, and in the event that any provision described in this Description of the Notes is
inconsistent with any description contained in the accompanying prospectus, this Description of the Notes will apply and supersede the description in the accompanying prospectus. </FONT></P>

will find the definitions of capitalized terms used in this description under the caption "&#151;Certain definitions." For purposes of this description, references to the "Company," "we,"
"our" and "us" refer only to American Equity Investment Life Holding Company and not to its subsidiaries. Certain defined terms used in this Description of the Notes but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. </FONT></P>

foregoing, redemption notices may be mailed or otherwise provided more than 60&nbsp;days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with the discharge of the obligations of
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes pursuant to the Company's exercise of the defeasance or satisfaction and discharge provisions under the Indenture. Any redemption notice may,
at the Company's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
a redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on

accordance with the procedures of DTC (subject to such rounding as may be necessary so that Notes are redeemed in whole increments of $1,000 and no Note of $2,000 in original principal amount or less
will be redeemed in part). If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule&nbsp;14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder in connection
with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of the Indenture, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue of such compliance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Change of Control provisions described above may deter certain mergers, tender offers and other takeover attempts involving the Company by increasing the capital required to effectuate such
transactions. The definition of "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Change of Control</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>" includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the
phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all"
of the property or assets of a Person. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of Notes may require the Company to make an offer to
repurchase the Notes as described above. Certain provisions under the Indenture relating to the Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be
waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Company may be unable to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control because it may not have sufficient funds available, or the Company may be prohibited from doing so by the terms of its other
Indebtedness. A transaction constituting a Change of Control may also constitute an Event of Default under future agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Company becomes a party. If a Change
of Control were to occur, the Company may seek to obtain a waiver or refinance the Indebtedness under any such future agreement. However, no assurance can be provided that the Company would be
successful in obtaining any such waiver or refinancing, and if the Company were not successful the amounts outstanding under such agreements may be declared immediately due and payable. See "Risk
factors&#151;Risks related to the notes&#151;We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control." </FONT></P>

Indenture provides that if a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to each Holder notice of the Default within 90&nbsp;days after the Trustee
obtains such knowledge. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing
Default if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders. In addition, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120&nbsp;days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers
thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30&nbsp;days after the knowledge thereof if such event is still

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes generally applicable to
Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular taxpayers in light of their special
circumstances or
taxpayers subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including but not limited to dealers in securities or currencies, financial institutions, cooperatives, regulated investment
companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, persons who hold notes as part of a hedging, integrated, straddle, conversion or constructive sale
transaction, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. expatriates, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, and partnerships (including but not limited to
entities and arrangements treated as partnerships (or other pass-through entities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes)). This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal
taxation other than U.S. federal income taxation or any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation. In addition, this discussion deals only with certain U.S. federal income tax
consequences to a holder that acquires the notes in the initial offering for cash at their issue price and holds the notes as capital assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>This
summary is based on the U.S. federal income tax law in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive

"Non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of a note that is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership. If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes) holds a note, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=4><B>  Certain ERISA considerations  <BR>  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of the notes by employee benefit plans that are
subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to
Section&nbsp;4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are
similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, "Similar Laws"), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement
(each, a "Plan"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> General fiduciary matters  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975
of the Code (an "ERISA Plan") and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who
exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice
for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
considering an investment in the notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the
Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws relating to a fiduciary's duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of
control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Prohibited transaction issues  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions
involving plan assets with persons or entities who are "parties in interest," within the meaning of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code, unless an
exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities
under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and
the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which the Company or an underwriter is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or
result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA and/or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an
applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or "PTCEs," that may apply
to the acquisition and holding of the notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset
managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life
insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>respecting
transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section&nbsp;408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code for certain transactions between an ERISA Plan and a person that is a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to the
ERISA Plan solely by reason of providing services to the ERISA Plan or a relationship with such a service provider, provided that neither the person transacting with the ERISA Plan nor any of its
affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that
the ERISA Plan pays no more and receives no less than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing exemptions or any other exemption
will be available with respect to the acquisition and holding of the notes or that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Because
of the foregoing, the notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing "plan assets" of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute or result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B> Representation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>By acceptance of a note, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of a note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that
either (i)&nbsp;no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire or hold the notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii)&nbsp;the acquisition and holding of the notes by
such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code or a similar
violation under any applicable Similar Laws. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in
non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult
with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase
and holding of the notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
sale of notes to a Plan is in no respect a representation by the Company, the underwriters or any other person that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to
investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan or that such an investment is approporate for Plans generally or any particular Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Board of Directors and Stockholders<BR>
American Equity Investment Life Holding Company: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2012.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedules listed in the Index on page&nbsp;F-1. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as
of December&nbsp;31, 2012, based on criteria established in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules and an opinion on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)&nbsp;pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or </FONT></P>

of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2012,
based on criteria established in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
discussed in Note&nbsp;1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January&nbsp;1, 2012, the Company modified the types of costs incurred that can be capitalized when issuing or

2012, we identified certain classification errors related to amounts reported in the financing activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows. We evaluated the materiality of
the errors from qualitative and quantitative perspectives and concluded they
were not material to any prior periods. However, we revised the 2011 and 2010 consolidated statements of cash flows to be consistent with the 2012 presentation. The changes resulted in decreases of

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are utilized in the calculation of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales
inducements, policy benefit reserves, valuation of derivatives, including embedded derivatives on index annuity reserves, contingent convertible senior notes, valuation of investments, other than
temporary impairment of investments, allowances for loan losses on mortgage loans and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. A description of each critical estimate is incorporated within the
discussion of the related accounting policies which follow. It is reasonably possible that actual experience could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Investments  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed maturity securities (bonds and redeemable preferred stocks maturing more than one year after issuance) that may be sold prior to maturity are
classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses, if any, on these securities are included directly in a separate component of
stockholders' equity, net of income taxes and certain adjustments for assumed changes in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. Fair values, as reported
herein, of fixed maturity and equity securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets when available, or for those fixed maturity securities not actively traded, yield data and other
factors relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics are used. See note&nbsp;2 for more information on assumptions and valuation models used in the determination of fair value.
Premiums and discounts are amortized/accrued using methods which result in a constant yield over the securities' expected lives. Amortization/accrual of premiums and discounts on residential and
commercial mortgage backed securities incorporate
prepayment assumptions to estimate the securities' expected lives. Interest income is recognized as earned. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fixed

reported as a component of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, which presents the amount of noncredit impairment losses for certain fixed maturity securities that is reported in

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Deterioration
in credit quality of the companies or assets backing our investment securities, deterioration in the condition of the financial services industry, imbalances in liquidity recurring in

temporary impairments in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Mortgage
loans on real estate are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts. Interest income is recorded when earned; however, interest ceases to accrue for
loans on which interest is more than 90&nbsp;days past due based upon contractual terms and/or when the collection of interest is not considered probable. We evaluate the mortgage
loan portfolio for the establishment of a loan loss reserve by specific identification of impaired loans and the measurement of an estimated loss, if any, for each impaired loan identified and an
analysis of the mortgage loan portfolio for the need of a general loan allowance for probable losses on all loans. If we determine that the value of any specific mortgage loan is impaired, the
carrying amount of the mortgage loan will be reduced to its fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan's contractual interest rate, or
the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell. The amount of the general loan allowance, if any, is based upon our evaluation of the probability of collection, historical loss
experience, delinquencies, credit concentrations, underwriting standards and national and local economic conditions. The carrying value of impaired loans is reduced by the establishment of an
allowance for loan losses, changes to which are recognized as realized gains or losses on investments. Interest income on impaired loans is recorded on a cash basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Other
invested assets include company owned life insurance, real estate, limited partnerships accounted for using the equity method and policy loans. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the
amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the end of the reporting period, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at
settlement. Policy loans are stated at current unpaid principal balances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Cash and cash equivalents  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
also consider reverse repurchase agreements, which typically have an initial maturity of six weeks or less, to be cash equivalents. Amounts advanced under these agreements represent
short-term loans that carry a fixed rate of interest. Borrowers under these agreements are required to post collateral that is investment grade debt securities with fair value in excess of
the amount advanced. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Book overdrafts  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Under our cash management system, checks issued but not yet presented to banks frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and
are classified as Other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We report the changes in the amount of the overdraft balance as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows
as Change in checks in excess of cash balance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our accounting policy for deferred policy acquisition costs which follows, has been updated from our Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2011 to reflect the adoption of new accounting standards. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>To
the extent recoverable from future policy revenues and gross profits, certain costs that are incremental or directly related to the successful production of new business are not expensed when
incurred but instead are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs or deferred sales inducements. Deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements are subject to loss
recognition testing on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that may warrant loss recognition. Deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of commissions and certain costs of policy
issuance. Deferred sales inducements consist of premium and interest bonuses credited to policyholder account balances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>For
annuity products, these capitalized costs are being amortized generally in proportion to expected gross profits from investment spreads, including the cost of hedging the fixed </FONT></P>

annuity obligations, and, to a lesser extent, from product charges and mortality and expense margins. That amortization is adjusted retrospectively through an unlocking process when estimates
of current or future gross profits/margins (including the impact of net realized gains on investments and net OTTI losses recognized in operations) to be realized from a group of products are revised.
Deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements are also adjusted for the change in amortization that would have occurred if available for sale fixed maturity securities and equity
securities had been sold at their aggregate fair value at the end of the reporting period and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. The impact of this adjustment is included in accumulated other
comprehensive income within consolidated stockholders' equity, net of applicable taxes. See note&nbsp;6 for more information on deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Policy benefit reserves  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Policy benefit reserves for fixed index annuities with returns linked to the performance of a specified market index are equal to the sum of the fair
value of the embedded derivatives and the host (or guaranteed) component of the contracts. The host value is established at inception of the contract and accreted over the policy's life at a constant
rate of interest. Future policy benefit reserves for fixed index annuities earning a fixed rate of interest and other deferred annuity products are computed under a retrospective deposit method and
represent policy account balances before applicable surrender charges. For the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, interest crediting rates for these products ranged from 1.80% to
5.25%. These rates include interest bonuses capitalized as deferred sales inducements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Policy
benefit reserves are not reduced for amounts ceded under coinsurance agreements which are reported as coinsurance deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. See note&nbsp;7 for more
information on reinsurance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
liability for future policy benefits for traditional life insurance is based on net level premium reserves, including assumptions as to interest, mortality, and other assumptions underlying the
guaranteed policy cash values. Reserve interest assumptions are level and range from 3.0% to 5.5%. Policy benefit claims are charged to expense in the period that the claims are incurred. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Deferred income taxes  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of
assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. Deferred income tax assets
are subject to ongoing evaluation of whether such assets will more likely than not be realized. The realization of deferred income tax assets primarily depends on generating future taxable income
during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies and recent financial operations, is considered. The realization of deferred income tax assets related to unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturity securities is also based </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Revenues for annuity products include surrender and living income benefit rider charges assessed against policyholder account balances during the

embedded derivatives within fixed index annuity contracts is included in benefits and expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Traditional
life insurance premiums are recognized as revenues over the premium-paying period. Certain group policies include provisions for annual experience refunds of premiums equal to net premiums
received less a 16% administrative fee and less claims incurred. Such amounts (2012&#151;$1.1&nbsp;million; 2011&#151;$1.8&nbsp;million; and 2010&#151;$1.1&nbsp;million) are
reported as a reduction of traditional life insurance premiums in the consolidated statements of operations. Future policy benefits are recognized as expenses over the life of the policy by means of
the provision for future policy benefits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>All
insurance-related revenues, including the change in the fair value of derivatives for call options related to the business ceded under coinsurance agreements (see note&nbsp;7), benefits, losses
and expenses are reported net of reinsurance ceded. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Other comprehensive income  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Other comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders' equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions
to stockholders. Other comprehensive income excludes net realized investment gains (losses) included in net income which merely represent transfers from unrealized to realized gains and losses. These
amounts totaled $(21.4) million, $(52.6) million and $(0.2) million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such amounts, which have been measured through the date of sale, are net of adjustments to
deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and income taxes totaling $(12.8) million in 2012, $(34.3) million in 2011 and $0.2&nbsp;million in 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Adopted accounting pronouncements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In October 2010, as a result of a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), the FASB issued
an accounting standards update (ASU) that modifies the definition of the types of costs incurred that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts. This guidance
defines the costs that qualify for deferral as incremental direct costs that result directly from and are essential to successful contract transactions and would not have been incurred by the
insurance entity had the contract transactions not occurred. In addition, it lists certain costs as deferrable as those that are directly related to underwriting, policy issuance and processing,
medical and inspection, and sales force contract selling as deferrable, as well as the portion of an employee's total compensation related directly to time spent performing those activities for actual
acquired contracts and other costs related directly to those activities that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been acquired. This amendment to current GAAP became effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2011. Other operating costs and expenses for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 increased
$9.1&nbsp;million due to the prospective adoption of this ASU effective January&nbsp;1, 2012, which </FONT></P>

net income $5.8&nbsp;million and earnings per share $0.09 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
May 2011, the FASB issued an ASU that addresses fair value measurement and disclosure as part of its convergence efforts with the International Accounting Standards Board. The guidance is intended
to create common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in
GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Some changes clarify the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement
requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements add
information about transfers between Level&nbsp;1 and Level&nbsp;2 of the fair value hierarchy, information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level&nbsp;3 of
the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable inputs and the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are
not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. This ASU became effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2011. See note&nbsp;2 for disclosures regarding fair value measurements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
June 2011, the FASB issued an ASU that expands the disclosure requirements related to other comprehensive income (loss). A reporting entity is now required to present the total of comprehensive
income (loss), the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income (loss) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but
consecutive statements. Under both choices, the reporting entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income (loss)
along with a total for other comprehensive income (loss) and a total amount for comprehensive income (loss). This ASU became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2011. We adopted this ASU on January&nbsp;1, 2012. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We

in determining fair value such as estimated future cash flows. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a
financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of fixed maturity securities and equity securities in an active and orderly market are determined by utilizing independent pricing
services. The independent pricing services incorporate a variety of observable market data in their valuation techniques, including:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
independent pricing services also take into account perceived market movements and sector news, as well as a security's terms and conditions, including any features specific to that issue that may
influence risk and marketability. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs
may be necessary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
independent pricing services provide quoted market prices when available. Quoted prices are not always available due to market inactivity. When quoted market prices are not available, the third
parties use yield data and other factors relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics to determine fair value for securities that are not actively traded. We generally obtain one
value from our primary external pricing service. In situations where a price is not available from this service, we may obtain further quotes or prices from additional parties as needed. In addition,
for our callable United States Government sponsored agencies
we obtain two broker quotes and take the average of two broker prices received. Market indices of similar rated asset class spreads are considered for valuations and broker indications of similar
securities are compared. Inputs used by the broker include market information, such as yield data and other factors relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. Valuations and
quotes obtained from third party commercial pricing services are non-binding and do not represent quotes on which one may execute the disposition of the assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
validate external valuations at least quarterly through a combination of procedures that include the evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing services, analytical reviews and performance
analysis of the prices against trends, and maintenance of a securities watch list. Additionally, as needed we utilize discounted cash flow models or perform independent valuations on a
case-by-case basis of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing services. Although we do identify differences from time to time as a result of these </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Mortgage loans on real estate  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Mortgage loans on real estate are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are calculated
using discounted expected cash flows using current competitive market interest rates currently being offered for similar loans. The fair values of impaired mortgage loans on real estate that we have
considered to be collateral dependent are based on the fair value of the real estate collateral (based on appraised values) less estimated costs to sell. The inputs utilized to determine fair value of
all mortgage loans are unobservable market data (competitive market interest rates and appraised property values); therefore, fair value of mortgage loans falls into Level&nbsp;3 in the fair value
hierarchy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Derivative instruments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of derivative instruments, primarily call options, are based upon the amount of cash that we will receive to settle each derivative
instrument on the reporting date. These amounts are obtained from each of the counterparties using industry accepted valuation models and are adjusted for the nonperformance risk of each counterparty
net of any collateral held. Inputs include market volatility and risk free interest rates and are used in income valuation techniques in arriving at a fair value for each option contract. The
nonperformance risk for each counterparty is based upon its credit default swap rate. We have no performance obligations related to the call options purchased to fund our fixed index annuity policy
liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Other investments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>None of the financial instruments included in other investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial instruments included in
other investments are policy loans, an equity method investment and company owned life insurance (COLI). We have not attempted to determine the fair values associated with our policy loans, as we
believe any differences between carrying value and the fair values afforded these instruments are immaterial to our consolidated financial position and, accordingly, the cost to provide such
disclosure does not justify the benefit to be derived. The fair value of our equity method investment qualifies as a Level&nbsp;3 fair value and was determined by calculating the present value of
future cash flows discounted by a risk free rate, a risk spread and a liquidity discount. The risk spread and liquidity discount are rates determined by our investment professionals and are
unobservable market inputs. The fair value of our COLI approximates the cash surrender value of the policies and whose fair values fall within Level&nbsp;2 of the fair value hierarchy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Cash and cash equivalents  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments are reported at their historical cost which approximates fair value due to
the nature of the assets assigned to this category. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Interest rate swap and caps  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of our pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are obtained from third parties and are determined by
discounting expected future cash flows using projected LIBOR rates for the term of the swaps and caps. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> 2015 notes hedges  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair value of these call options is determined by a third party who applies market observable data such as our common stock price, its dividend
yield and its volatility, as well as the time to expiration of the call options to determine a fair value of the buy side of these options. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Policy benefit reserves, coinsurance deposits and SPIA benefit reserves  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of the liabilities under contracts not involving significant mortality or morbidity risks (principally deferred annuities), are
stated at the cost we would incur to extinguish the liability (i.e.,&nbsp;the cash surrender value) as these contracts are generally issued without an annuitization date. The coinsurance deposits
related to the annuity benefit reserves have fair values determined in a similar fashion. For period-certain annuity benefit contracts, the fair value is determined by discounting the benefits at the
interest rates currently in effect for newly purchased immediate annuity contracts. We are not required to and have not estimated the fair value of the liabilities under contracts that involve
significant mortality or morbidity risks, as these liabilities fall within the definition of insurance contracts that are exceptions from financial instruments that require disclosures of fair value.
Policy benefit reserves, coinsurance deposits and SPIA benefit reserves are not measured at fair value
on a recurring basis. All of the fair values presented within these categories fall within Level&nbsp;3 of the fair value hierarchy as most of the inputs are unobservable market data. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Notes payable  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair value of the convertible senior notes is based upon pricing matrices developed by a third party pricing service when quoted market prices
are not available and are categorized as Level&nbsp;2 within the fair value hierarchy. Notes payable are not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Subordinated debentures  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fair values for subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based principally on observable inputs including our
incremental borrowing rates, which reflect our credit rating, for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt being valued. These fair values are
categorized as Level&nbsp;2 within the fair value hierarchy. Subordinated debentures are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> 2015 notes embedded derivative  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair value of this embedded derivative is determined by pricing the call options that hedge this potential liability. The terms of the conversion
premium are identical to the 2015 notes hedges and the method of determining fair value of the call options is based upon observable market data. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fixed index annuities&#151;embedded derivatives  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policy benefit reserves at each valuation date by
(i)&nbsp;projecting policy contract values and minimum guaranteed contract values over the expected lives of the contracts and (ii)&nbsp;discounting the excess of the projected contract value
amounts at the applicable risk free interest rates adjusted for our nonperformance risk related to those liabilities. The projections </FONT></P>

policy contract values are based on our best estimate assumptions for future policy growth and future policy decrements. Our best estimate assumptions for future policy growth include assumptions
for the expected index credit on the next policy anniversary date which are derived from the fair values of the underlying call options purchased to fund such index credits and the expected costs of
annual call options we will purchase in the future to fund index credits beyond the next policy anniversary. The projections of minimum guaranteed contract values include the same best estimate
assumptions for policy decrements as were used to project policy contract values. </FONT></P>

decrease of $136.7&nbsp;million to our combined balance for deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements recorded through operations as an increase in amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. A decrease by 100 basis points in the discount rate used to discount the excess projected contract values would increase the fair value of the

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During 2012 and 2011, we received $4.6&nbsp;billion and $3.2&nbsp;billion, respectively, in net redemption proceeds related to calls of our callable United
States Government sponsored agency securities, of which $2.6&nbsp;billion and $0.2&nbsp;billion, respectively, were classified as held for investment. The
proceeds from these redemptions that have been reinvested have primarily been in United States Government sponsored agencies, corporate securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and other
asset backed securities classified as available for sale. For the remaining amount to be reinvested we are considering further diversification into other asset classes, but we remain committed to
maintaining a high quality investment portfolio with low credit risk. At December&nbsp;31, 2012, 28% of our fixed income securities have call features and 0.4% ($0.1 billion) were subject to call
redemption. Another 7% ($1.5&nbsp;billion) will become subject to call redemption during 2013, of which $727&nbsp;million are short-term U.S. Government agency securities with a book
yield of 0.85%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at December&nbsp;31, 2012, by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because
borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. All of our mortgage and other asset backed securities provide for periodic payments throughout
their lives and are shown below as separate lines. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") assigns designations to fixed maturity securities. These designations range from Class&nbsp;1
(highest quality) to Class&nbsp;6 (lowest quality). In general, securities are assigned a designation based upon the ratings they are given by the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating
Organizations ("NRSRO's"). The NAIC designations are utilized by insurers in preparing their annual statutory statements. NAIC Class&nbsp;1 and 2 designations are considered "investment grade" while
NAIC Class&nbsp;3 through 6 designations are considered "non-investment grade." Based on the NAIC designations, 98% of the fair value our fixed maturity portfolio is rated investment
grade at both December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The following is a description of the factors causing the unrealized losses by investment category as of December&nbsp;31, 2012: </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> United States Government sponsored agencies and United States municipalities, states and territories:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These securities are relatively long in duration; however,
they are callable in less than 12&nbsp;months making the value of such securities sensitive to changes in market interest rates. The timing of when some of these securities were purchased in 2012
gave rise to unrealized losses at December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Corporate securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses in these securities are due partially to the timing of purchases in 2012 and a small number of securities seeing their
credit spreads remain wide due to issuer or industry specific news. In addition, some financial and industrial sector credit spreads remain wide due to continued economic uncertainty and concerns of
economic instability in the European Union. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Residential mortgage backed securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At December&nbsp;31, 2012, we had no exposure to sub-prime residential mortgage backed securities. All of our
residential mortgage backed securities are pools of first-lien residential mortgage loans. Substantially all of the securities that we own are in the most senior tranche of the
securitization in which they are structured and are not subordinated to any other tranche. Our "Alt-A" residential mortgage backed securities are comprised of 36 securities with a total
amortized
cost basis of $374.0&nbsp;million and a fair value of $376.1&nbsp;million. Despite recent improvements in the capital markets, the fair values of RMBS continue at prices below amortized cost. RMBS
prices will likely remain below our cost basis until the housing market is able to absorb current and future foreclosures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Commercial mortgage backed securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses in these securities are due partially to the timing of purchases in 2012. A number of purchases made
in the middle of the fourth quarter were at yields lower than what could be executed at the end of the year due to the increase in the treasury yield during December. Yield spreads for commercial
mortgage backed securities have narrowed during the course of the year but remain attractive. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Other asset backed securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses in these securities are predominantly assigned to financial sector capital trust securities which have longer
maturity dates and have declined in price due to prolonged stress in the financial sector. Only one security in an unrealized loss position is rated below investment grade. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Equity securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have one equity security in an unrealized loss position that is a perpetual preferred security of a service company. Despite modest
deterioration of its business profile our view for the investment over the intermediate term is constructive. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Approximately
75% and 83% of the unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities shown in the above table for December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are on securities that are rated
investment grade, defined as being the highest two NAIC designations. All of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses are current with respect to the payment of principal and interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
determine whether other than temporary impairment losses should be recognized for debt and equity securities by assessing all facts and circumstances surrounding each security. Where the decline in
market value of debt securities is attributable to changes in market interest rates or to factors such as market volatility, liquidity and spread widening, and we anticipate recovery of all
contractual or expected cash flows, we do not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired because we do not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not we
will be required to sell these investments before a recovery of amortized cost, which may be maturity. For equity securities, we recognize an impairment charge in the period in which we do not have
the intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery of cost or we determine that the security will not recover to book value within a reasonable period of time. We determine what constitutes
a reasonable period of time on a security-by-security basis by considering all the evidence available to us, including the magnitude of any unrealized loss and its duration. In
any event, this period does not exceed 18&nbsp;months from the date of impairment for perpetual preferred securities for which there is evidence of deterioration in credit of the issuer and common
equity securities. For perpetual preferred securities absent evidence of a deterioration in credit of the issuer we apply an impairment model, including an anticipated recovery period, similar to a
debt security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Other
than temporary impairment losses on equity securities are recognized in operations. If we intend to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a debt

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
we do not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security but also do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, an
impairment loss would be recognized in operations in the amount of the expected credit loss. We determine the amount of expected credit loss by calculating the present value of the cash flows expected
to be collected discounted at each security's acquisition yield based on our consideration of whether the security was of high credit quality at the time of acquisition. The difference between the
present value of expected future cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security is the amount of credit loss recognized in operations. The remaining amount of the other than temporary
impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
determination of the credit loss component of a residential mortgage backed security is based on a number of factors. The primary consideration in this evaluation process is the issuer's ability
to meet current and future interest and principal payments as contractually stated at time of purchase. Our review of these securities includes an analysis of the cash flow modeling under various
default scenarios considering independent third party benchmarks, the seniority of the specific tranche within the structure of the security, the composition of the collateral and the actual default,
loss severity and prepayment experience exhibited. With the input of third party assumptions for default projections, loss severity and prepayment expectations, we evaluate the cash flow projections
to determine whether the security is performing in accordance with its contractual obligation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
utilize the models from a leading structured product software specialist serving institutional investors. These models incorporate each security's seniority and cash flow structure. In
circumstances where the analysis implies a potential for principal loss at some point in the future, we use the "best estimate" cash flow projection discounted at the security's effective yield at
acquisition to determine the amount of our potential credit loss associated with this security. The discounted expected future cash flows equates to our expected recovery value. Any shortfall of the
expected recovery when compared to the amortized cost of the security will be recorded as the credit loss component of other than temporary impairment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
cash flow modeling is performed on a security-by-security basis and incorporates actual cash flows on the residential mortgage backed securities through the current period,
as well as the projection of remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions including default rates, prepayment rates and loss severity rates. The default curves we use are tailored to the Prime
or Alt-A residential mortgage backed securities that we own, which assume lower default rates and loss severity for Prime securities versus Alt-A securities. These default
curves are scaled higher or lower depending on factors such as current underlying mortgage loan performance, rating agency loss projections, loan to value ratios, geographic diversity, as well as
other appropriate considerations. The default curves generally assume lower loss levels for older vintage securities versus more recent vintage securities, which reflects the decline in underwriting
standards over the years. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The determination of the credit loss component of a corporate bond (including redeemable preferred stocks) is based on the underlying financial performance of
the issuer and their ability to meet their contractual obligations. Considerations in our evaluation include, but are not limited to, credit rating changes, financial statement and ratio analysis,
changes in management, significant changes in credit spreads, breaches of financial covenants and a review of the economic outlook for the industry and markets in which they trade. In circumstances
where an issuer appears unlikely to meet its future obligation, or the security's price decline is deemed other than temporary, an estimate of credit loss is determined. Credit loss is calculated
using default probabilities as derived from the credit default swaps markets in conjunction with recovery rates derived from independent third party analysis or a best estimate of credit loss. This
credit loss rate is then incorporated into a present value calculation based on an expected principal loss in the future discounted at the yield at the date of purchase and compared to amortized cost
to determine the amount of credit loss associated with the security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition, for debt securities which we do not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell, but our intent changes due to changes or events that could not have been
reasonably anticipated, an other than temporary impairment charge is recognized. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, we then continue to review the other than temporarily impaired securities
for appropriate valuation on an ongoing basis. Unrealized losses may be recognized in future periods through a charge to earnings, should we later conclude </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We evaluate our mortgage loan portfolio for the establishment of a loan loss reserve by specific identification of impaired loans and the measurement of an
estimated loss for each
individual loan identified. A mortgage loan is impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If we determine
that the value of any specific mortgage loan is impaired, the carrying amount of the mortgage loan will be reduced to its fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from
the loan discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. In addition, we analyze the mortgage loan portfolio for the need
of a general loan allowance for probable losses on all other loans. The amount of the general loan allowance is based upon management's evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio,
historical loss experience, delinquencies, credit concentrations, underwriting standards and national and local economic conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
financing receivables currently consist of one portfolio segment which is our commercial mortgage loan portfolio. These are mortgage loans with collateral consisting of commercial real estate and
borrowers consisting mostly of limited liability partnerships or limited liability corporations. Credit loss experience in our mortgage loan portfolio has been limited to the most recent fiscal years.
We experienced our first credit loss from our mortgage loan portfolio in 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have a population of mortgage loans that we have been carrying with workout terms (e.g.&nbsp;interest only periods, period of suspended payments, etc.) and a population of mortgage loans that
have been in a delinquent status (i.e.&nbsp;more than 60&nbsp;days past due). It is from this population that we have been recognizing some impairment loss due to nonpayment and eventual
satisfaction of the loan by taking ownership of the collateral real estate. In most cases the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell such collateral has been less than the
outstanding principal amount of the mortgage loan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
general loan loss allowance for periods through September&nbsp;30, 2011 was calculated on the cumulative outstanding principal on loans making up the group of loans currently in workout terms
and loans currently more than 60&nbsp;days past due. We applied a factor to the total outstanding principal of these loans that was calculated as the average specific impairment loss for the most
recent 4 quarters divided by the sum of the average of the total outstanding principal of delinquent loans for the most recent 4 quarters and the average of the total outstanding principal of loans in
workout for the most recent 4 quarters. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we modified the calculation for determining our general loan loss allowance. The group of loans that we utilized to calculate an
estimate of general loan loss allowance were those that had a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of less than 1.0. The DSCR is calculated by dividing the net operating income of the mortgaged property
by the contractual principal and
interest payment due for the corresponding period. We developed the loss rates to apply to this group of loans by dividing the specific impairment loss for the most recent 4 quarters by the principal
outstanding of the loans with a DSCR of less than 1.0. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, we completed a process of rating the mortgage loans in our portfolio based on factors such as historical operating performance, loan to value ratio and
economic outlook, among others. We calculated a loss factor to apply to each rating based on historical losses we have recognized in our mortgage loan portfolio. We applied the loss factors to the
total principal outstanding within each rating category to determine an appropriate estimate of general loan loss allowance at December&nbsp;31, 2012. The change in methodology utilized to determine
the general loan loss allowance did not result in a material adjustment. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The amount of loans collectively evaluated for impairment at December&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010 were modified from what was originally reported to be consistent
with the groupings used in 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
amount of charge-offs include the amount of allowance that has been established for loans that were satisfied by taking ownership of the collateral. When the property is taken it is
recorded at its fair value as a component of other investments and the mortgage loan is recorded as fully paid, with any allowance for credit loss that has been established charged off. Fair value of
the real estate is determined by third party appraisal. There could be other situations that develop where we have established a larger specific loan loss allowance than is needed based on increases
in the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans or improvements in the financial position of a borrower so that a
loan would become reliant on cash flows from debt service instead of dependent upon sale of the collateral. Charge-offs of the allowance would be recognized in those situations as well. We
define collateral dependent loans as those mortgage loans for which we still depend on the value of the collateral real estate to satisfy the outstanding principal of the loan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, thirteen and eleven mortgage loans, respectively, were satisfied by taking ownership of the real estate serving as collateral. The following

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Mortgage loans are considered delinquent when they become 60&nbsp;days past due. When loans become 90&nbsp;days past due, become collateral dependent or
enter a period with no debt service payments required we place them on non-accrual status and discontinue recognizing interest income. If payments are received on a delinquent loan,
interest income is recognized to the extent it would have been recognized if normal principal and interest would have been received timely. If the payments are received to bring a delinquent loan back
to current we will resume accruing interest income on that loan. Outstanding principal of loans in a non-accrual status at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $34.7&nbsp;million
and $45.5&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>All
of our commercial mortgage loans depend on the cash flow of the borrower to be at a sufficient level to service the principal and interest payments as they come due. In general, cash inflows of
the borrowers are generated by collecting monthly rent from tenants occupying space within the borrowers' properties. Our borrowers face operating risks such as tenants going out of business, tenants
struggling to make rent payments as they become due and tenants canceling leases and moving to other locations. We have a number of loans where the real estate is occupied by a single tenant. Our
borrowers sometimes face both a reduction in cash flow on their mortgage property as well as a reduction in the fair value of the real estate collateral. If borrowers are unable to replace lost rent
revenue and increases in the fair value of their property do not materialize we could potentially incur more losses than what we have allowed for in our specific and general loan loss allowances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Aging
of financing receivables is summarized in the following table, with loans in a "workout" period as of the reporting date considered current if payments are current in accordance with agree upon
terms: </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The loans that are categorized as "in workout" consist of loans that we have agreed to lower or no mortgage payments for a period of time while the borrowers
address cash flow and/or operational issues. The key features of these workouts have been determined on a loan-by-loan basis. Most of these loans are in a period of low cash
flow due to tenants vacating their space or tenants requesting rent relief during difficult economic periods. Generally, we have allowed the borrower a six month interest only period and in some cases
a twelve month period of interest only. Interest only workout loans are expected to return to their regular debt service payments after the interest only period. Interest only loans that are not fully
amortizing will have a larger balance at their balloon date than originally contracted. Fully amortizing loans that are in interest only periods will have larger debt service payments for their
remaining term due to lost principal payments during the interest only period. In limited circumstances we have allowed borrowers to pay the principal portion of their loan payment into an escrow
account that can be used for capital and tenant improvements for a period of not more than 12&nbsp;months. In these situations new loan amortization schedules are calculated based on the principal
not collected during this 12&nbsp;month workout period and larger payments are collected for the remaining term of each loan. In all cases, original interest rate and maturity date have not been
modified and we have not forgiven any principal amounts. </FONT></P>

Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") is a situation where we have granted a concession to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties that we would not
otherwise consider. A mortgage loan that has been granted new terms, including workout terms as described previously, would be considered a TDR if it meets conditions that would indicate a borrower is
experiencing financial difficulty and the new terms constituting a concession on our part. We analyze all loans that we agree to workout terms and all loans that we have refinanced to determine if
they meet the definition of a TDR. We consider the following factors in determining whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We have fixed index annuity products that guarantee the return of principal to the policyholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a
specified market index. When fixed index annuity deposits are received, a portion of the deposit is used to purchase derivatives consisting of call options on the applicable market indices to fund the
index credits due to fixed index annuity policyholders. Substantially all such call options are one year options purchased to match the funding requirements of the underlying policies. The call
options are marked to fair value with the change in fair value included as a component of revenues. The change in fair value of derivatives includes the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of
the option term or upon early termination and the changes in fair value for open positions. On the respective anniversary dates of the index policies, the index used to compute the annual index credit
is reset and we purchase new one-year call options to fund the next annual index credit. We manage the cost of these purchases through the terms of our fixed index annuities, which permit
us to change caps, participation rates, and/or asset fees, subject to guaranteed minimums on each policy's anniversary date. By adjusting caps, participation rates, or asset fees, we can generally
manage option costs except in cases where the contractual features would prevent further modifications. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
strategy attempts to mitigate any potential risk of loss under these agreements through a regular monitoring process which evaluates the program's effectiveness. We do not purchase call options
that would require payment or collateral to another institution and our call options do not contain counterparty credit-risk-related contingent features. We are exposed to risk
of loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties
and, accordingly, we purchase our option contracts from multiple counterparties and evaluate the creditworthiness of all counterparties prior to purchase of the contracts. All of these options have
been purchased from nationally recognized financial institutions with a Standard and Poor's credit rating of A- or higher at the time of purchase and the maximum credit exposure to any
single counterparty is subject to concentration limits. We also have credit support agreements that allow us to request the counterparty to provide collateral to us when the fair value of our exposure
to the counterparty exceeds specified amounts. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
notional amount and fair value of our call options by counterparty and each counterparty's current credit rating are as follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As of December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, we held $328.7&nbsp;million and $165.4&nbsp;million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents and other securities received from
counterparties for derivative collateral, which is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This derivative collateral limits the maximum amount of economic loss due to credit
risk that we would incur if parties to the call options failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts to $93.7&nbsp;million and $109.3&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31,
2012 and 2011, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
future annual index credits on our fixed index annuities are treated as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the expected life of the applicable contract. We do not purchase call options to
fund the index liabilities which may arise after the next policy anniversary date. We must value both the call options and the related forward embedded options in the policies at fair value. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
entered into an interest rate swap and caps to manage interest rate risk associated with the floating rate component on certain of our subordinated debentures. See note&nbsp;10 for more
information on our subordinated debentures. The terms of the interest rate swap provide that we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest. The terms of the interest
rate caps limit the three month London Interbank Offered Rate to 2.50%. The interest rate swap and caps are not effective hedges under accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. Therefore, we record the interest rate swap and caps at fair value and any net cash payments received or paid are included in the change in fair value of derivatives in the consolidated
statements of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Details
regarding the interest rate swap are as follows: </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We periodically revise the key assumptions used in the calculation of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements
retrospectively through an unlocking process when estimates of current or future gross profits/margins (including the impact of realized investment gains and losses) to be realized from a group of
products are revised. The unlocking adjustment in 2012 increased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs by $3.7&nbsp;million and decreased amortization of deferred sales inducements by
$0.2&nbsp;million. The unlocking adjustment in 2011 decreased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs by $9.1&nbsp;million and decreased amortization for deferred sales inducements by
$5.0&nbsp;million. The unlocking adjustment in 2010 increased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs by $1.4&nbsp;million and increased amortization for deferred sales inducements by

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Effective
July&nbsp;1, 2009, we entered into two funds withheld coinsurance agreements with Athene Life Re&nbsp;Ltd. ("Athene"), an unauthorized life reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda. One agreement
cedes 20% of certain of our fixed index annuities issued from January&nbsp;1, 2009 through March&nbsp;31, 2010. The business reinsured under this agreement is not eligible for recapture until the
end of the month following seven years after the date of issuance of the policy. The other agreement cedes 80% of our multi-year rate guaranteed annuities issued on or after July&nbsp;1,
2009. The business reinsured under this agreement may not be recaptured. Coinsurance deposits (aggregate policy benefit reserves transferred to Athene under these agreements) were $1.9&nbsp;billion
and $1.7&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We remain liable to policyholders with respect to the policy liabilities ceded to Athene should Athene fail to meet the
obligations it has coinsured. The annuity deposits that have been ceded to Athene are being held in a trust on a funds withheld basis. American Equity Life is named as the sole beneficiary of the
trust. The funds withheld are required to remain at a value that is sufficient to support the current balance of policy benefit liabilities of the ceded business on a statutory basis. If the value of
the funds withheld account would ever reach a point where it is less than the amount of the ceded policy benefit liabilities on a statutory basis, Athene is required to either establish a letter of
credit or deposit securities in a trust for the amount of any shortfall. None of the coinsurance deposits with Athene are deemed by management to be uncollectible. The balance due under these
agreements to Athene was $14.0&nbsp;million and $8.4&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and represents the fair value of call options held by us to fund index credits
related to the ceded business net of cash due from Athene related to monthly settlements of policy activity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We have entered into three reinsurance transactions with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America ("Hannover"), which are treated as reinsurance
under statutory accounting practices and as financing arrangements under GAAP. The statutory surplus benefits under these agreements are eliminated under GAAP and the associated charges are recorded
as risk charges and included in other operating costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The transactions became effective October&nbsp;1, 2005 (the "2005 Hannover
Transaction"), December&nbsp;31, 2008 (the "2008 Hannover Transaction") and March&nbsp;31, 2011 (the "2011 Hannover Transaction"). The 2008 Hannover Transaction and the
2011 Hannover Transaction terminate after the the final year of surplus reduction (see following discussion of each agreement), and the statutory surplus benefit is reduced over a five year period and
is eliminated upon termination. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2011 Hannover Transaction is a coinsurance and yearly renewable term reinsurance agreement for statutory purposes and provided $49.2&nbsp;million in net pretax statutory surplus benefit at
inception in 2011. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, pretax statutory surplus was reduced by $11.8&nbsp;million and $9.2&nbsp;million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is expected to be
reduced as follows: 2013&#151;$11.3&nbsp;million, 2014&#151;$10.8&nbsp;million and 2015&#151;$10.3&nbsp;million. These amounts include risk charges equal to 1.25% of the
pretax statutory surplus benefit as of the end of each calendar quarter. Risk charges attributable to this agreement were $1.8&nbsp;million and $1.7&nbsp;million during 2012 and 2011,
respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2008 Hannover Transaction is a coinsurance and yearly renewable term reinsurance agreement for statutory purposes and provided $29.5&nbsp;million in net pretax statutory surplus benefit in 2008.
Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, pretax statutory surplus was reduced by $6.8&nbsp;million and $6.7&nbsp;million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is expected to be reduced as follows:

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2005 Hannover Transaction is a yearly renewable term reinsurance agreement for statutory purposes covering 47% of waived surrender charges related to penalty free withdrawals and deaths on certain
business. The agreement has been amended several times to include policy forms that were not in existence at the time this agreement became effective. We may recapture the risks reinsured under this
agreement as of the end of any quarter. However, the agreement, as amended, makes it punitive to us if we do not recapture the business ceded prior to January&nbsp;1, 2016. The reserve credit
recorded on a statutory basis by American Equity Life was $180.3&nbsp;million and $162.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We pay quarterly reinsurance premiums
under this agreement with an experience refund calculated on a quarterly basis resulting in a risk charge equal to approximately 5.8% of the weighted average statutory reserve credit. Risk charges
attributable to the 2005 Hannover Transaction were $9.9&nbsp;million, $8.6&nbsp;million and $6.9&nbsp;million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Indemnity reinsurance  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In the normal course of business, we seek to limit our exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid under our
annuity, life and accident and health insurance products by ceding reinsurance to other insurance enterprises or reinsurers. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us of our obligations to our
policyholders. To the extent that reinsuring companies are later unable to meet obligations under reinsurance agreements, our life insurance subsidiaries would be liable for these obligations, and
payment of these obligations could result in losses to us. To limit the possibility of such losses, we evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers, and monitor concentrations of credit risk. No
allowance for uncollectible amounts has been established against our asset for amounts receivable from other insurance companies since none of the receivables are deemed by management to be
uncollectible. </FONT></P>

interest rate of 3.5%, mature on September&nbsp;15, 2015, and are intended to be settled in cash; however, in certain limited circumstances we have the discretion to settle in shares of our common
stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Contractual interest payable on the 2015 notes began accruing in September 2010 and is payable semi-annually in arrears each
March&nbsp;15th&nbsp;and September&nbsp;15th. The initial transaction fees and expenses totaling $6.8&nbsp;million were capitalized as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the

liability, which is included in Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the 2015 notes embedded conversion derivative at the time of issuance of the 2015 notes was
$37.0&nbsp;million, and was recorded at the original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2015 notes. This discount will be recognized as interest expense using the
effective interest method over the term of the 2015 notes. The estimated fair value of the 2015 notes embedded conversion derivative was $43.1&nbsp;million and $45.6&nbsp;million as of
December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Concurrently
with the issuance of the 2015 notes, we entered into hedge transactions (the "2015 notes hedges") with two counterparties whereby we have the option to receive the cash equivalent of the
conversion spread on approximately 16.0&nbsp;million shares of our common stock based upon a strike price of $12.50 per share, subject to certain conversion rate adjustments in the 2015 notes. These
options expire on September&nbsp;15, 2015 and must be settled in cash. The
aggregate cost of the 2015 notes hedges was $37.0&nbsp;million. The 2015 notes hedges are accounted for as derivative assets, and are included in Other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
estimated fair value of the 2015 notes hedges was $43.1&nbsp;million and $45.6&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
2015 notes embedded conversion derivative and the 2015 notes hedges are adjusted to fair value each reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
separate transactions, we also sold warrants (the "2015 warrants") to two counterparties for the purchase of up to approximately 16.0&nbsp;million shares of our common stock at a price of $16.00
per share. The warrants expire on various dates from December 2015 through March 2016 and are intended to be settled in net shares. The total number of shares of common stock deliverable under the
2015 warrants is, however, currently limited to 11.6&nbsp;million shares. We received $15.6&nbsp;million in cash proceeds from the sale of the 2015 warrants, which has been recorded as an increase
in additional paid-in capital. Changes in the fair value of these warrants will not be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements as long as the instruments remain classified as
equity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
December 2004, we issued $260.0&nbsp;million of convertible senior notes due December&nbsp;15, 2024 (the "2024 notes"), of which $22.9&nbsp;million was assigned to the equity component (net
of income tax of $16.1&nbsp;million). In December 2009, we issued $115.8&nbsp;million of contingent convertible senior notes due December&nbsp;15, 2029 (the "2029 notes"), of which

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Holders
may convert any outstanding notes into cash and shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share of $13.74 for the 2024 notes and $9.57 for the 2029 notes. This represents a
conversion rate of approximately 72.8 shares and 104.5 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of notes (the "conversion rate") for the 2024 notes and the 2029 notes, respectively.
Subject to certain exceptions described in the indentures covering these notes, at the time the notes are tendered for conversion, the value (the "conversion value") of the cash and shares of our
common stock, if any, to be received by a holder converting $1,000 principal amount of the notes will be determined by multiplying the conversion rate by the "ten day average closing stock price",
which equals the average of the closing per share prices of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the second trading day following the day
the notes are submitted for conversion. We will deliver the conversion value to holders as follows: (1)&nbsp;an amount in cash (the "principal return") equal to the lesser of (a)&nbsp;the
aggregate conversion value of the notes to be converted and (b)&nbsp;the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted, and (2)&nbsp;if the aggregate conversion value of the notes to be
converted is greater than the principal return, an amount in shares (the "net shares") equal to such aggregate conversion value less the principal return (the "net share amount") and (3)&nbsp;an
amount in cash in lieu of fractional shares of common stock. The number of net shares to be paid will be determined by dividing the net share amount by the ten day average closing stock price. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The discount is being amortized over the expected lives of the notes, which is December&nbsp;15, 2014 for the 2029 notes and September&nbsp;15, 2015 for the
2015 notes, and was December&nbsp;15, 2011 for the 2024 notes. The effective interest rates during the discount amortization periods are 8.9%, 8.5% and 11.9% on the 2015 notes, the 2024 notes and
2029 notes, respectively. The interest cost recognized in operations for the convertible notes, inclusive of the coupon and amortization of the discount and debt issue costs was $28.5&nbsp;million,
$31.6&nbsp;million, and $20.9&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
had a $150&nbsp;million revolving line of credit agreement with eight banks. The revolving period of the facility was five years. The applicable interest rate was floating at LIBOR plus 0.80% or
the greater of prime rate or federal funds rate plus 0.50%, as elected by us. During 2011, we terminated the $150&nbsp;million revolving line of credit agreement and entered into a
$160&nbsp;million revolving line of credit agreement with seven banks for which the revolving period is three years. The interest rate is floating at a rate based on our election that will be equal
to the alternate base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus the applicable margin or the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus the applicable margin. We also pay a
commitment fee on the available unused portion of the credit facility. The applicable margin and commitment fee rate are based on our credit rating and can change throughout the period of the credit
facility. Based upon our current credit rating, the applicable margin is 2.00% for alternate base rate borrowings and 3.00% for adjusted LIBOR rate borrowings, and the commitment fee is 0.50%. Under
this agreement, we are required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio at American Equity Life of 275%; a maximum ratio of adjusted debt to total adjusted capital 0.35; a minimum
cash coverage ratio of 1.0; and a
minimum level of statutory surplus at American Equity Life equal to the sum of 1)&nbsp;80% of statutory surplus at December&nbsp;31, 2010, 2)&nbsp;50% of the statutory net income for each fiscal
quarter ending after December&nbsp;31, 2010, and 3)&nbsp;50% of all capital contributed to American Equity Life after September&nbsp;30, 2010. No amounts were outstanding at December&nbsp;31,
2012 and 2011. As of December&nbsp;31, 2012, $109.5&nbsp;million is unrestricted and could be distributed to shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
part of our investment strategy, we enter into securities repurchase agreements (short-term collateralized borrowings). We had no borrowings under repurchase agreements during 2012 and
2010. The maximum amount borrowed during 2011 was $180&nbsp;million . When we do borrow cash on these repurchase agreements, we pledge collateral in the form of debt securities with fair values
approximately equal to the amount due and we use the cash to purchase debt securities ahead of the time we collect the cash from selling annuity policies to avoid a lag between the investment of funds
and the obligation to credit interest to policyholders. We earn investment income on the securities purchased with these borrowings at a rate in excess of the cost of these borrowings. Such borrowings
averaged $12.9&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on amounts due under repurchase agreements was 0.23% for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our wholly-owned subsidiary trusts (which are not consolidated) have issued fixed rate and floating rate trust preferred securities and have used the proceeds
from these offerings to purchase subordinated debentures from us. We also issued subordinated debentures to the trusts in exchange for all of the common securities of each trust. The sole assets of
the trusts are the subordinated debentures and any interest accrued thereon. The interest payment dates on the subordinated debentures correspond to the distribution dates on the trust preferred
securities issued by the trusts. The trust preferred securities mature simultaneously with the subordinated debentures. Our obligations under the subordinated debentures and related agreements provide
a full and unconditional guarantee of payments due under the trust preferred securities. All subordinated debentures are callable by us at any time, except for the Trust II subordinated debt
obligations. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During 2012, we issued a notice of mandatory redemption of all of our 8% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") and American Equity
Capital Trust I, the holder of all of the Debentures, issued notices of mandatory redemption of all of its 8% Convertible Trust Preferred Securities and all of its 8% Trust Common Securities. As a
result of this mandatory redemption, $20.6&nbsp;million principal amount (688,327 shares) of 8% Convertible Trust Preferred Securities were converted into 2,549,333 shares of our common stock and
38,001 shares of these trust preferred securities were settled in cash of approximately $1.1&nbsp;million. The remaining 6,000 shares will be settled in cash of $0.2&nbsp;million. During 2012,
prior to the mandatory redemption, 4,000 shares of these trust preferred securities were converted into 14,814 shares shares of our common stock. During 2010, 2,010 shares of these trust preferred
securities converted into 7,444 shares of our common stock. There were no conversions during 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We have adopted a contributory defined contribution plan which is qualified under Section&nbsp;401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers
substantially all of our full-time employees subject to minimum eligibility requirements. Employees can contribute a percentage of their annual salary (up to a maximum contribution of
$17,000 in 2012 and $16,500 in 2011 and 2010) to the plan. We contribute an additional amount, subject
to limitations, based on the voluntary contribution of the employee. Further, the plan provides for additional employer contributions based on the discretion of the Board of Directors. Plan
contributions charged to expense were $0.4&nbsp;million, $0.3&nbsp;million and $0.3&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
2010, we established the American Equity Investment Life Holding Company Short-Term Performance Incentive Plan. Under this plan, certain members of our senior management may receive
incentive awards comprised of a cash component and a restricted stock component. Shares of restricted stock received will be granted pursuant to the 2009 Employee Incentive Plan and will vest on the
date three years following the date the Committee approves the payment of the incentive award provided that the participant remains employed by us. Compensation expense is recognized over the three
year vesting period. Shares vest immediately for participants 65&nbsp;years of age with 10&nbsp;years of service with us and compensation expense under this plan for these participants is
recognized upon approval of the incentive award by the compensation committee. During 2012 and 2011, we issued 51,810 and 24,497 shares of common stock (37,369 and 16,819 shares were restricted
stock), respectively, and recognized share-based compensation expense of $0.5&nbsp;million and $0.1&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have deferred compensation arrangements with certain officers, directors, and consultants, whereby these individuals agreed to take our common stock at a future date in lieu of cash payments at the
time of service. The common stock is to be issued in conjunction with a "trigger event," as that term is defined in the individual agreements. At December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, these individuals
have earned, and we have reserved for future issuance, 354,923 and 503,142 shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to these arrangements. We have incurred share-based compensation expense of
$0.2&nbsp;million, $0.3&nbsp;million and $0.4&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, under these arrangements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have deferred compensation agreements with certain officers whereby these individuals may defer certain bonus compensation which is deposited into the American Equity Officer Rabbi Trust (Officer
Rabbi Trust). The amounts deferred are invested in assets at the direction of the employee. The assets of the Officer Rabbi Trust are included in our assets and a corresponding deferred compensation
liability is recorded. The deferred compensation liability is recorded at the fair market value of the assets in the Officer Rabbi Trust with the change in fair value included as a component of
compensation expense. The deferred compensation </FONT></P>

related to these agreements was $1.4&nbsp;million and $1.6&nbsp;million December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2011 and 2010, the Officer Rabbi Trust purchased 1,250
shares of our common stock at a cost of $0.01&nbsp;million and 104,661 shares of our common stock at a cost of $1.2&nbsp;million, respectively. The Officer Rabbi Trust did not purchase any shares
during 2012. The Officer Rabbi Trust held 104,551 shares and 139,751 shares of our common stock at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are treated as treasury shares. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
1997, we established the American Equity Investment NMO Deferred Compensation Plan ("NMO Deferred Compensation Plan") whereby agents can earn common stock in addition to their normal
commissions. The NMO Deferred Compensation Plan was effective until December&nbsp;31, 2006 at which time it was suspended. Awards were calculated using formulas determined annually by our Board of
Directors and are generally based upon new annuity deposits. These shares are being distributed at the end of the vesting and deferral period of 9&nbsp;years. We recognize commission expense and an
increase to additional paid-in capital as share-based compensation when the awards vest. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010, agents vested in 1,052 shares of common stock and we
recorded commission expense (capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs) of $0.01&nbsp;million under this plan. All outstanding shares issued under this plan were fully vested at
December&nbsp;31, 2010. At December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, the total number of undistributed vested shares under the NMO Deferred Compensation Plan was 1,142,332 and 1,631,548, respectively.
These shares are included in the computation of earnings per share and earnings per share&#151;assuming dilution. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have a Rabbi Trust, the NMO Deferred Compensation Trust (the "NMO Trust"), which has purchased shares of our common stock to fund the amount of vested shares under the NMO Deferred Compensation
Plan. The common stock held in the NMO Trust is treated as treasury stock. The NMO Trust purchased 81,745 shares of our common stock during 2011 at a cost of $0.9&nbsp;million. The NMO Trust did not
purchase any shares during 2012 and 2010. The NMO Trust distributed 489,216, 306,032 and 166,965 shares during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The number of shares held by the NMO Trust at
December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, was 1,142,332 and 1,631,548, respectively. </FONT></P>

1996 Stock Option Plan, 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan, 2000 Directors Stock Option Plan and 2011 Director Stock Option Plan (adopted in 2011) authorized grants of options to officers, directors
and employees for an aggregate of up to 3,475,000 shares of our common stock. All options granted under these plans have 10&nbsp;year terms and a 6&nbsp;month vesting period after which they
become fully exercisable immediately. At December&nbsp;31, 2012, we had no shares of common stock available for future grant under the 2011 Director Stock Option Plan. In 2009, we adopted the 2009
Employee Incentive Plan which authorizes the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units convertible into or based
upon our common stock up to 2,500,000 shares. All options granted under this plan have 10&nbsp;year terms and a 3&nbsp;year vesting period after which they become fully exercisable immediately. At
December&nbsp;31, 2012, we had 1,709,243 shares of common stock available for future grant under the 2009 Employee Incentive Plan. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We use the historical realized volatility of
our stock for the expected volatility assumption within the valuation model. For options granted since 2007, the weighted average expected term for the majority of our options were calculated using
average historical behavior. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
2007, 2010 and 2012 we established Independent Insurance Agent Stock Option plans. Under these plans, agents of American Equity Life may receive grants of options to acquire shares of our
common stock based upon their individual sales. The plans authorize grants of options to agents for an aggregate of up to 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. We recognize commission expense and an
increase to additional paid-in capital as share-based compensation equal to the fair value of the options as they are earned. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
fair value for each stock option granted to agents during the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model until the

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
established the American Equity Investment Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") effective July&nbsp;1, 2007. The principal purpose of the ESOP is to provide each eligible employee with an
equity interest in us. Employees become eligible once they have completed a minimum of six months of service. Employees become 100% vested after 2&nbsp;years of service. Our contribution to the ESOP
is determined by the Board of Directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
August 2007, we issued a loan to the ESOP in the amount of $7.0&nbsp;million to purchase 650,000 shares of our common stock from David&nbsp;J. Noble, our Executive Chairman. The loan is to be
repaid over a period of 20&nbsp;years with annual interest payments due on December&nbsp;31 of each year. Required principal payments according to the terms of the loan of $1.8&nbsp;million are
due on December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2017, and 2022 with the final principal payment due on August&nbsp;31, 2027; however, at December&nbsp;31, 2012, the outstanding balance on this loan is
$1.6&nbsp;million as we have been prepaying the balance due. The loan is eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The shares purchased by the ESOP were pledged as collateral for this
debt and are reported as unallocated common stock held by the ESOP, a contra-equity account in stockholders' equity. When shares are committed for release, the shares become outstanding for earnings
per share computations. For each plan year in which a payment or prepayment of principal or interest is made, we will release from the pledge the number of shares determined under the principal and
interest method. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction in retained earnings and are credited to employee accounts. Dividends on unallocated shares held by the ESOP will be
used to repay indebtedness. As of December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, there were 54,971 shares and 59,751 shares committed for release and compensation expense of $1.1&nbsp;million,
$1.3&nbsp;million and $0.8&nbsp;million was recognized in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of 239,799 unreleased shares and 336,093 unreleased shares was $2.9&nbsp;million and
$3.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We are occasionally involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. In addition, state regulatory bodies, such as state insurance departments,
the SEC, FINRA, the Department of Labor, and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance
laws, securities laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, we establish an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and
estimable. As a litigation or regulatory matter is developing we, in conjunction with outside counsel, evaluate on an ongoing basis whether the matter presents a loss contingency that meets conditions
indicating the need for accrual and/or disclosure, and if not the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments. If and when the loss contingency related to litigation or regulatory
matters is deemed to be both probable and estimable, we will establish an accrued liability with respect to that matter and will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that may affect
the amount of the accrued liability. We recorded an estimated litigation liability of $17.5&nbsp;million during the third quarter of 2012 based on developments in the mediation of the matter
discussed below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
recent years, companies in the life insurance and annuity business have faced litigation, including class action lawsuits, alleging improper product design, improper sales practices and similar
claims. We are currently a defendant in a purported class action, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>McCormack, et al. v. American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company, et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division and </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Anagnostis v. American Equity, et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, coordinated in the
Central District, entitled, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>In Re: American Equity Annuity Practices and Sales Litigation</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in the United States District Court for the Central District
of California, Western Division (complaint filed September&nbsp;7, 2005) (the "Los Angeles Case"), involving allegations of improper sales practices and similar claims as described below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Los Angeles Case is a consolidated action involving several lawsuits filed by individuals, and the individuals are seeking class action status for a national class of purchasers of annuities
issued by us; however, no class has yet been certified. The named plaintiffs in this consolidated case are Bernard McCormack, Gust Anagnostis by and through Gary&nbsp;S. Anagnostis and </FONT></P>

Anagnostis, Regina Bush by and through Sharon Schipiour, Lenice Mathews by and through Mary Ann Maclean and George Miller. The allegations generally attack the suitability of sales of
deferred annuity products to persons over the age of 65. The plaintiffs seek rescission and injunctive relief including restitution and disgorgement of profits on behalf of all class members under
California Business&nbsp;&amp; Professions Code section&nbsp;17200 et seq. and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act; compensatory damages for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and
abetting of breach of fiduciary duty; unjust enrichment and constructive trust; and other pecuniary damages under California Civil Code section&nbsp;1750 and California Welfare&nbsp;&amp; Institutions
Codes section&nbsp;15600 et seq. As previously reported, we participated in mediation sessions with plaintiffs' counsel in 2011 and 2012 where potential settlement terms continued to be discussed.
Based upon the current status of those discussions, the $17.5&nbsp;million litigation liability referred to above represents our best estimate of probable loss with respect to this litigation.
However, a formal settlement has not been reached, the potential settlement has not been reviewed by the court and other factors could potentially result in a change in this estimate as further
developments take place. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in the pending purported class action lawsuit, there can be no assurance that such litigation, or any other pending or future
litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. </FONT></P>

Notes to consolidated financial statements<BR>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=3><B>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant accounting policies  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Consolidation and basis of presentation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The accompanying consolidated financial statements of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company ("we", "us" or "our") have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form&nbsp;10-Q and Article&nbsp;10 of
Regulation&nbsp;S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position and results of operations on a basis consistent with the prior audited consolidated
financial statements. Operating results for the three month period ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2013. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates. For further information related to
a description of areas of judgment and estimates and other information necessary to understand our financial position and results of operations, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes included in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
previously reported in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, we identified
certain classification errors related to amounts reported in the financing activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows. Consistent with that presentation, we have revised the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 resulting in decreases of $45.8&nbsp;million to receipts credited to annuity and single premium universal life
policyholder account balances and return of annuity policyholder account balances. These revisions had no net impact on net cash provided by financing activities, and no impact on our consolidated
balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income or statements of changes in stockholders' equity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Adopted accounting pronouncements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") that expands the disclosure
requirements related to other comprehensive income (loss). A reporting entity is now required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
by component. In addition, a reporting entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but
only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. This ASU became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2012. We adopted this ASU on January&nbsp;1, 2013. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market

methods of valuation that include market, income and cost approaches. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
categorize our financial instruments into three levels of fair value hierarchy based on the priority of inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy defines the highest priority inputs

in determining fair value such as estimated future cash flows. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a
financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular

independent pricing services also take into account perceived market movements and sector news, as well as a security's terms and conditions, including any features specific to that issue that may
influence risk and marketability. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs
may be necessary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
independent pricing services provide quoted market prices when available. Quoted prices are not always available due to market inactivity. When quoted market prices are not available, the third
parties use yield data and other factors relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics to determine fair value for securities that are not actively traded. We generally obtain one
value from our primary external pricing service. In situations where a price is not available from this service, we may obtain further quotes or prices from additional parties as needed. In addition,
for our callable United States Government sponsored agencies we obtain two broker quotes and take the average of two broker prices received. Market indices of similar rated asset class spreads are
considered for valuations and broker indications of similar securities are compared. Inputs used by the broker include market information, such as yield data and other factors relating to instruments
or securities with similar characteristics. Valuations and quotes obtained from third party commercial pricing services are non-binding and do not represent quotes on which one may execute
the disposition of the assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
validate external valuations at least quarterly through a combination of procedures that include the evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing services, analytical reviews and performance
analysis of the prices against trends, and maintenance of a securities watch list. Additionally, as needed we utilize discounted cash flow models or perform independent valuations on a
case-by-case basis of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing services. Although we do identify differences from time to time as a result of these
validation procedures, we did not make any significant adjustments as of March&nbsp;31, 2013 and December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Mortgage loans on real estate  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Mortgage loans on real estate are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are calculated
using discounted expected cash flows using current competitive market interest rates currently being offered for similar loans. The fair values of impaired mortgage loans on real estate that we have
considered to be collateral dependent are based on the fair value of the real estate collateral (based on appraised values) less estimated costs to sell. The inputs utilized to determine fair value of
all mortgage loans are unobservable market data (competitive market interest rates and appraised property values); therefore, fair value of mortgage loans falls into Level&nbsp;3 in the fair value
hierarchy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Derivative instruments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of derivative instruments, primarily call options, are based upon the amount of cash that we will receive to settle each derivative
instrument on the reporting date. These amounts are determined by our investment team using industry accepted valuation models and are adjusted for the nonperformance risk of each counterparty net of
any collateral held. Inputs include market volatility and risk free interest rates and are used in income valuation techniques in arriving at a fair value for each option contract. The nonperformance

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>each
counterparty is based upon its credit default swap rate. We have no performance obligations related to the call options purchased to fund our fixed index annuity policy liabilities. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Other investments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>None of the financial instruments included in other investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial instruments included in
other investments are policy loans, an equity method investment and company owned life insurance (COLI). We have not attempted to determine the fair values associated with our policy loans, as we
believe any differences between carrying value and the fair values afforded these instruments are immaterial to our consolidated financial position and, accordingly, the cost to provide such
disclosure does not justify the benefit to be derived. The fair value of our equity method investment qualifies as a Level&nbsp;3 fair value and was determined by calculating the present value of
future cash flows discounted by a risk free rate, a risk spread and a liquidity discount. The risk spread and liquidity discount are rates determined by our investment professionals and are
unobservable market inputs. The fair value of our COLI approximates the cash surrender value of the policies and whose fair values fall within Level&nbsp;2 of the fair value hierarchy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Cash and cash equivalents  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments are reported at their historical cost which approximates fair value due to
the nature of the assets assigned to this category. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> 2015 notes hedges  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair value of these call options is determined by a third party who applies market observable data such as our common stock price, its dividend
yield and its volatility, as well as the time to expiration of the call options to determine a fair value of the buy side of these options. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Interest rate swap and caps  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of our pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swap and interest rate caps are obtained from third parties and are determined by
discounting expected future cash flows using projected LIBOR rates for the term of the swap and caps. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Policy benefit reserves, coinsurance deposits and SPIA benefit reserves  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair values of the liabilities under contracts not involving significant mortality or morbidity risks (principally deferred annuities), are
stated at the cost we would incur to extinguish the liability (i.e.,&nbsp;the cash surrender value) as these contracts are generally issued without an annuitization date. The coinsurance deposits
related to the annuity benefit reserves have fair values determined in a similar fashion. For period-certain annuity benefit contracts, the fair value is determined by discounting the benefits at the
interest rates currently in effect for newly purchased immediate annuity contracts. We are not required to and have not estimated the fair value of the liabilities under contracts that involve
significant mortality or morbidity risks, as these liabilities fall within the definition of insurance contracts that are exceptions from financial instruments that require disclosures of fair value.
Policy benefit reserves, coinsurance deposits and SPIA benefit reserves are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. All of the fair values presented within these categories fall within
Level&nbsp;3 of the fair value hierarchy as most of the inputs are unobservable market data. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Notes payable  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair value of the convertible senior notes is based upon pricing matrices developed by a third party pricing service when quoted market prices
are not available and are categorized as Level&nbsp;2 within the fair value hierarchy. Notes payable are not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Subordinated debentures  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fair values for subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based principally on observable inputs including our
incremental borrowing rates, which reflect our credit rating, for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt being valued. These fair values are
categorized as Level&nbsp;2 within the fair value hierarchy. Subordinated debentures are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> 2015 notes embedded derivatives  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The fair value of this embedded derivative is determined by pricing the call options that hedge this potential liability. The terms of the conversion
premium are identical to the 2015 notes hedges and the method of determining fair value of the call options is based upon observable market data. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fixed index annuities&#151;embedded derivatives  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policy benefit reserves at each valuation date by
(i)&nbsp;projecting policy contract values and minimum guaranteed contract values over the expected lives of the contracts and (ii)&nbsp;discounting the excess of the projected contract value
amounts at the applicable risk free interest rates adjusted for our nonperformance risk related to those liabilities. The projections of policy contract values are based on our best estimate
assumptions for future policy growth and future policy decrements. Our best estimate assumptions for future policy growth include assumptions for the expected index credit on the next policy
anniversary date which are derived from the fair values of the underlying call options purchased to fund such index credits and the expected costs of annual call options we will purchase in the future
to fund index credits beyond the next policy anniversary. The projections of minimum guaranteed contract values include the same best estimate assumptions for policy decrements as were used to project
policy contract values. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
following tables provide a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for our Level&nbsp;3 assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using
significant unobservable inputs for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012: </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Change in unrealized gains, net for each period in our embedded derivatives are included in change in fair value of embedded derivatives in the unaudited
consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Certain
derivatives embedded in our fixed index annuity contracts are our most significant financial instrument measured at fair value that are categorized as Level&nbsp;3 in the fair value
hierarchy. The contractual obligations for future annual index credits within our fixed index annuity contracts are treated as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the expected life of the
applicable contracts. We estimate the fair value of these embedded derivatives at each valuation date by the method described above under </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>fixed index
annuities&#151;embedded derivatives</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> The projections of minimum guaranteed contract values include the same best estimate assumptions for policy
decrements as were used to project policy contract values. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
most sensitive assumption in determining policy liabilities for fixed index annuities is the rates used to discount the excess projected contract values. As indicated above, the discount rate
reflects our nonperformance risk. If the discount rates used to discount the excess projected contract values at March&nbsp;31, 2013, were to increase by 100 basis points, the fair value of the
embedded derivatives would decrease by $261.8&nbsp;million recorded through operations as a decrease in the change in fair value of embedded derivatives and there would be a corresponding decrease
of $158.3&nbsp;million to our combined balance for deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements recorded through operations as an increase in amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. A decrease by 100 basis points in the discount rate used to discount the excess projected contract values would increase the fair value of the
embedded derivatives by $291.9&nbsp;million recorded through operations as an increase in the change in fair value of embedded derivatives and increase our combined balance for deferred policy
acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements by $177.0&nbsp;million recorded through operations as a decrease in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The following is a description of the factors causing the temporary unrealized losses by investment category as of March&nbsp;31, 2013: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> United States Government sponsored agencies:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These securities are relatively long in duration; however, they are callable in less than 12&nbsp;months making the
value of such securities sensitive to changes in market interest rates. The timing of when some of these securities were purchased gave rise to unrealized losses at March&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> United States municipalities, states and territories:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These securities are relatively long in duration whose fair values are sensitive to changes in market
interest rates. The timing of the purchase of these securities have resulted in unrealized losses at this point in time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Foreign government obligations:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses on these securities is due to wider spreads on the announcement of increased capital expenditures with
resulting higher leverage and greater supply. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Corporate securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses in these securities are due partially to the timing of purchases in 2012 and 2013. These securities carry yields less
than those available at December&nbsp;31, 2012 as the result of rising interest rates in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, a small number of securities seeing their credit spreads remain wide
due to issuer or industry </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>specific
news while some financial and industrial sector credit spreads remain wide due to continued economic uncertainty and concerns of economic instability in the European Union. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Residential mortgage backed securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At March&nbsp;31, 2013, we had no exposure to sub-prime residential mortgage backed securities. All of our
residential mortgage backed securities are pools of first-lien residential mortgage loans. Substantially all of the securities that we own are in the most senior tranche of the
securitization in which they are structured and are not subordinated to any other tranche. Our "Alt-A" residential mortgage backed securities are comprised of 36 securities with a total
amortized cost basis of $358.3&nbsp;million and a fair value of $378.6&nbsp;million. Despite recent improvements in the capital markets, the fair values of RMBS with weaker borrower
characteristics continue at prices below amortized cost. These RMBS prices will likely remain below our cost basis until the housing market is able to absorb current and future foreclosures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Commercial mortgage backed securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses in these securities are due partially to the timing of purchases in 2012 and 2013. A number of
purchases made in the middle of the fourth quarter 2012 were at yields lower than what could be executed at the end of this quarter due to the increase in the treasury yield since the time of
purchase. Yield spreads for commercial mortgage backed securities have narrowed but remain attractive. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Other asset backed securities:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unrealized losses in these securities are predominantly assigned to financial sector capital trust securities which have longer
maturity dates and have declined in price due to prolonged stress in the financial sector. Only one security in an unrealized loss position is rated below investment grade. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Approximately
76% and 75% of the unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities shown in the above table for March&nbsp;31, 2013 and December&nbsp;31, 2012, respectively, are on securities that
are rated investment grade, defined as being the highest two NAIC designations. All of the securities with unrealized losses are current with respect to the payment of principal and interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
determine whether other than temporary impairment losses should be recognized for debt and equity securities by assessing all facts and circumstances surrounding each security. Where the decline in
market value of debt securities is attributable to changes in market interest rates or to factors such as market volatility, liquidity and spread widening, and we anticipate recovery of all
contractual or expected cash flows, we do not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired because we do not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not we
will be required to sell these investments before a recovery of amortized cost, which may be maturity. For equity securities, we recognize an impairment charge in the period in which we do not have
the intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery of cost or we determine that the security will not recover to book value within a reasonable period of time. We determine what constitutes
a reasonable period of time on a security-by-security basis by considering all the evidence available to us, including the magnitude of any unrealized loss and its duration. In
any event, this period does not exceed 18&nbsp;months from the date of impairment for perpetual preferred securities for which there is evidence of deterioration in credit of the issuer and common
equity securities. For perpetual preferred securities absent evidence of a deterioration in credit of the issuer we apply an impairment model, including an anticipated recovery period, similar to a
debt security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Other
than temporary impairment losses on equity securities are recognized in operations. If we intend to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a debt
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, other than temporary impairment has occurred and the difference between amortized cost and fair value will be recognized as a loss in operations. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
we do not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security but also do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, an
impairment loss would be recognized in operations in the amount of the expected credit loss. We determine the amount of expected credit loss by calculating the present value of the cash flows expected
to be collected discounted at each security's acquisition yield based on our consideration of whether the security was of high credit quality at the time of acquisition. The difference between the
present value of expected future cash flows and the amortized cost
basis of the security is the amount of credit loss recognized in operations. The remaining amount of the other than temporary impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The determination of the credit loss component of a mortgage backed security is based on a number of factors. The primary consideration in this evaluation process is the
issuer's ability to meet current and future interest and principal payments as contractually stated at time of purchase. Our review of these securities includes an analysis of the cash flow modeling
under various default scenarios considering independent third party benchmarks, the seniority of the specific tranche within the structure of the security, the composition of the collateral and the
actual default, loss severity and prepayment experience exhibited. With the input of third party assumptions for default projections, loss severity and prepayment expectations, we evaluate the cash
flow projections to determine whether the security is performing in accordance with its contractual obligation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
utilize the models from a leading structured product software specialist serving institutional investors. These models incorporate each security's seniority and cash flow structure. In
circumstances where the analysis implies a potential for principal loss at some point in the future, we use the "best estimate" cash flow projection discounted at the security's effective yield at
acquisition to determine the amount of our potential credit loss associated with this security. The discounted expected future cash flows equates to our expected recovery value. Any shortfall of the
expected recovery when compared to the amortized cost of the security will be recorded as the credit loss component of other than temporary impairment. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
cash flow modeling is performed on a security-by-security basis and incorporates actual cash flows on the residential mortgage backed securities through the current period,
as well as the projection of remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions including default rates, prepayment rates and loss severity rates. The default curves we use are tailored to the Prime
or Alt-A residential mortgage backed securities that we own, which assume lower default rates and loss severity for Prime securities versus Alt-A securities. These default
curves are scaled higher or lower depending on factors such as current underlying mortgage loan performance, rating agency loss projections, loan to value ratios, geographic diversity, as well as
other appropriate considerations. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The determination of the credit loss component of a corporate bond (including redeemable preferred stocks) is based on the underlying financial performance of
the issuer and their ability to meet their contractual obligations. Considerations in our evaluation include, but are not limited to, credit rating changes, financial statement and ratio analysis,
changes in management, significant changes in credit spreads, breaches of financial covenants and a review of the economic outlook for the industry and markets in which they trade. In circumstances
where an issuer appears unlikely to meet its future obligation, or the security's price decline is deemed other than temporary, an estimate of credit loss is determined. Credit loss is calculated
using default probabilities as derived from the credit default swaps markets in conjunction with recovery rates derived from independent third party analysis or a best estimate of credit loss. This
credit loss rate is then incorporated into a present value calculation based on an expected principal loss in the future discounted at the yield at the date of purchase and compared to amortized cost
to determine the amount of credit loss associated with the security. </FONT></P>

for appropriate valuation on an ongoing basis. Unrealized losses may be recognized in future periods through a charge to earnings, should we later conclude that the decline in fair value below

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We evaluate our mortgage loan portfolio for the establishment of a loan loss reserve by specific identification of impaired loans and the measurement of an
estimated loss for each
individual loan identified. A mortgage loan is impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If we determine
that the value of any specific mortgage loan is impaired, the carrying amount of the mortgage loan will be reduced to its fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from
the loan discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. In addition, we analyze the mortgage loan portfolio for the need
of a general loan allowance for probable losses on all other loans. The amount of the general loan allowance is based upon management's evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio,
historical loss experience, delinquencies, credit concentrations, underwriting standards and national and local economic conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
financing receivables currently consist of one portfolio segment which is our commercial mortgage loan portfolio. These are mortgage loans with collateral consisting of commercial real estate and
borrowers consisting mostly of limited liability partnerships or limited liability corporations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
have a population of mortgage loans that we have been carrying with workout terms (e.g.&nbsp;interest only periods, period of suspended payments, etc.) and a population of mortgage loans that
have been in a delinquent status (i.e.&nbsp;more than 60&nbsp;days past due). It is from this population that we have been recognizing some impairment loss due to nonpayment and, in some cases,
eventual satisfaction of the loan by taking ownership of the collateral real estate. In most cases the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell such collateral has been less than the
outstanding principal amount of the mortgage loan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
general loan loss allowance for the period ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 was calculated utilizing a group of loans which had a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of less than 1.0. The DSCR is
calculated by dividing the net operating income of the mortgaged property by the contractual principal and interest payment due for the corresponding period. We developed the loss rates to apply to
this group of loans by dividing the specific impairment loss for the most recent 4 quarters by the principal outstanding of the loans with a DSCR of less than 1.0. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Currently,
we complete a process of rating the mortgage loans in our portfolio based on factors such as historical operating performance, loan to value ratio and economic outlook, among others. We
calculate a loss factor to apply to each rating based on historical losses we have recognized in our mortgage loan portfolio. We apply the loss factors to the total principal
outstanding within each rating category to determine an appropriate estimate of general loan loss allowance at March&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The amount of charge-offs include the amount of allowance that has been established for loans that were satisfied by taking ownership of the collateral. When the
property is taken it is recorded at its fair value as a component of other investments and the mortgage loan is recorded as fully paid, with any allowance for credit loss that has been established
charged off. Fair value of the real estate is determined by third party appraisal. There could be other situations that develop where we have established a larger specific loan loss allowance than is
needed based on increases in the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans, or improvements in the financial position of a borrower so that a loan would become reliant on cash
flows from debt service instead of dependent upon sale of the collateral. Charge-offs of the allowance would be recognized in those situations as well. We define collateral dependent loans
as those mortgage loans for which we will depend on the value of the collateral real estate to satisfy the outstanding principal of the loan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, one mortgage loan was satisfied by taking ownership of the real estate serving as collateral compared to nine mortgage loans for the same period in

loans are considered delinquent when they become 60&nbsp;days past due. When loans become 90&nbsp;days past due, become collateral dependent or enter a period with no debt service

of our commercial mortgage loans depend on the cash flow of the borrower to be at a sufficient level to service the principal and interest payments as they come due. In general, cash inflows of
the borrowers are generated by collecting monthly rent from tenants occupying space within the borrowers' properties. Our borrowers face collateral risks such as tenants going out of business, tenants
struggling to make rent payments as they become due, and tenants canceling leases and moving to other locations. We have a number of loans where the real estate is occupied by a single tenant. Our
borrowers sometimes face both a reduction in cash flow on their mortgage property as well as a reduction in the fair value of the real estate collateral. If borrowers are unable to replace lost rent
revenue and increases in the fair value of their property do not materialize we could potentially incur more losses than what we have allowed for in our specific and general loan loss allowances. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
loans that are categorized as "in workout" consist of loans that we have agreed to lower or no mortgage payments for a period of time while the borrowers address cash flow and/or operational
issues. The key features of these workouts have been determined on a loan-by-loan basis. Most of these loans are in a period of low cash flow due to tenants vacating their
space or tenants requesting rent relief during difficult economic periods. Generally, we have allowed the borrower a six month interest only period and in some cases a twelve month period of interest
only. Interest only workout loans are expected to return to their regular debt service payments after the interest only period. Interest only loans that are not fully amortizing will have a larger
balance at their balloon date than originally contracted. Fully amortizing loans that are in interest only periods will have larger debt service payments for their remaining term due to lost principal
payments during the interest only period. In limited circumstances we have allowed borrowers to pay the principal portion of their loan payment into an escrow account that can be used for capital
and tenant improvements for a period of not more than twelve months. In these situations new loan amortization schedules are calculated based on the principal not collected during this twelve month
workout period and larger payments are collected for the remaining term of each loan. In all cases, original interest rate and maturity date have not been modified and we have not forgiven any
principal amounts. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>A
Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") is a situation where we have granted a concession to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties that we would not
otherwise consider. A mortgage loan that has been granted new terms, including workout terms as described previously, would be considered a TDR if it meets conditions that would indicate a borrower
experiencing financial difficulty and the new terms constituting a concession on our part. We analyze all loans that we agree to workout terms and all loans that we have refinanced to determine if
they meet the definition of a TDR. We consider the following factors in determining whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We have fixed index annuity products that guarantee the return of principal to the policyholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a
specified market index. When fixed index annuity deposits are received, a portion of the deposit is used to purchase derivatives consisting of call options on the applicable market indices to fund the
index credits due to fixed index annuity policyholders. Substantially all such call options are one year options purchased to match the funding requirements of the underlying policies. The call
options are marked to fair value with the change in fair value included as a component of revenues. The change in fair value of derivatives includes the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of
the option term or upon early termination and the changes in fair value for open positions. On the respective anniversary dates of the index policies, the index used to compute the annual index credit
is reset and we purchase new one-year call options to fund the next annual index credit. We manage the cost of these purchases through the terms of our fixed index annuities, which permit
us to change caps, participation rates, and/or asset fees, subject to guaranteed minimums on each policy's anniversary date. By adjusting caps, participation rates, or asset fees, we can generally
manage option costs except in cases where the contractual features would prevent further modifications. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>Our
strategy attempts to mitigate any potential risk of loss under these agreements through a regular monitoring process which evaluates the program's effectiveness. We do not purchase call options
that would require payment or collateral to another institution and our call options do not contain counterparty credit-risk-related contingent features. We are exposed to risk
of loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties and, accordingly, we purchase our option contracts from multiple counterparties and evaluate the creditworthiness of all counterparties
prior to purchase of the contracts. All of these options have been purchased from nationally recognized financial institutions with a Standard and Poor's credit rating of A- or higher at
the time of purchase and the maximum credit exposure to any single counterparty is subject to concentration limits. We also have credit support agreements that allow us to request the counterparty to
provide collateral to us when the fair value of our exposure to the counterparty exceeds specified amounts. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>As of March&nbsp;31, 2013 and December&nbsp;31, 2012, we held $649.8&nbsp;million and $328.7&nbsp;million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents
and other securities from counterparties for derivative collateral, which is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This derivative collateral limits the maximum amount of
economic loss due to credit risk that we would incur if parties to the call options failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts to $82.2&nbsp;million and
$93.7&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2013 and December&nbsp;31, 2012, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
future annual index credits on our fixed index annuities are treated as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the expected life of the applicable contract. We do not purchase call options to
fund the index liabilities which may arise after the next policy anniversary date. We must value both the call options and the related forward embedded options in the policies at fair value. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
entered into an interest rate swap and interest rate caps to manage interest rate risk associated with the floating rate component on certain of our subordinated debentures. See note&nbsp;10 in
our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 for more information on our subordinated debentures. The terms of the interest rate swap provide that we
pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest. The terms of the interest rate caps limit the three month London Interbank Offered Rate to 2.50%. The interest rate swap and caps
are not effective hedges under accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Therefore, we record the interest rate swap and caps at fair value and any net cash payments
received or paid are included in the change in fair value of derivatives in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The discount is being amortized over the expected lives of the notes, which is December&nbsp;15, 2014 for the 2029 notes and September&nbsp;15, 2015 for the 2015 notes, and
was December&nbsp;15, 2011 for the 2024 notes. The effective interest rates during the discount amortization periods are 8.9%, 8.5% and 11.9% on the 2015 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2029 notes,
respectively. The interest cost recognized in operations for the convertible notes, inclusive of the coupon and amortization of the discount and debt issue costs, was $7.2&nbsp;million and
$7.0&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
are required to include the dilutive effect of the 2024 and 2029 notes in our diluted earnings per share calculation. Because these notes include a mandatory cash settlement feature for the
principal amount, incremental dilutive shares will only exist when the fair value of our common stock at the end of the reporting period exceeds the conversion price per share of $13.74 for the 2024
notes and $9.57 for the 2029 notes. At March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, the conversion premium of the 2029 notes was dilutive and the effect has been included in diluted earnings per share for the
three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012. At March&nbsp;31, 2013, the conversion premium of the 2024 notes was dilutive and the effect has been included in diluted earnings per share for
the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2013. The 2015 notes and the 2015 notes hedges are excluded from the dilutive effect in our diluted earnings per share calculation as they are currently to be
settled only in cash. The 2015 warrants could have a dilutive effect
on our earnings per share to the extent that the price of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the 2015 warrants. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>On
March&nbsp;25, 2013, notice of mandatory redemption was issued for our 2024 notes. $25.8&nbsp;million principal amount of the convertible notes exercised their conversion rights prior to the
April&nbsp;30, 2013 mandatory redemption date. The holders of these notes will receive the principal amount of their notes in cash and the conversion premium in shares of our common stock. The final
number of shares to be issued will be determined based upon the "ten day average closing price" for our common stock on the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the second trading day following
the day the notes were submitted for conversion. The balance of the convertible notes ($2.5&nbsp;million principal amount) will be redeemed for cash. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
2011, we entered into a three year $160&nbsp;million revolving line of credit agreement with seven banks. The interest rate is floating at a rate based on our election that will be equal to the
alternate base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus the applicable margin or the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus the applicable margin. We also pay a commitment
fee on the available unused portion of the credit facility. The applicable margin and commitment fee rate are based on our credit rating and can change throughout the period of the credit facility.
Based upon our current credit rating, the applicable margin is 2.00% for alternate base rate borrowings and 3.00% for adjusted LIBOR rate borrowings and the commitment fee is 0.50%. Under this
agreement, we are required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio at American Equity Life, a maximum ratio of debt to total capital, a minimum cash coverage ratio, and a minimum
level of statutory surplus at American Equity Life. No amounts were outstanding at March&nbsp;31, 2013 and December&nbsp;31, 2012. </FONT></P>

accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, we establish an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and

indicating the need for accrual and/or disclosure, and if not the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments. If and when the loss contingency related to litigation or regulatory
matters is deemed to be both probable and estimable, we will establish an accrued liability with respect to that matter and will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that may affect
the amount of the accrued liability. We recorded an estimated litigation liability of $17.5&nbsp;million during the third quarter of 2012 based on developments in the mediation of the matter
discussed below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
recent years, companies in the life insurance and annuity business have faced litigation, including class action lawsuits, alleging improper product design, improper sales practices and similar
claims. We are currently a defendant in a purported class action, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>McCormack, et al. v. American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company, et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division and </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Anagnostis v. American Equity, et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, coordinated in the
Central District, entitled, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>In Re: American Equity Annuity Practices and Sales Litigation</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in the United States District Court for the Central District
of California, Western Division (complaint filed September&nbsp;7, 2005) (the "Los Angeles Case"), involving allegations of improper sales practices and similar claims as described below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:arial;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Los Angeles Case is a consolidated action involving several lawsuits filed by individuals, and the individuals are seeking class action status for a national class of purchasers of annuities
issued by us; however, no class has yet been certified. The named plaintiffs in this consolidated case are Bernard McCormack, Gust Anagnostis by and through Gary&nbsp;S. Anagnostis and
Robert&nbsp;C. Anagnostis, Regina Bush by and through Sharon Schipiour, Lenice Mathews by and through Mary Ann Maclean and George Miller. The allegations generally attack the suitability of sales of
deferred annuity products to persons over the age of 65. The plaintiffs seek rescission and injunctive relief including restitution and disgorgement of profits on behalf of all class members under
California Business&nbsp;&amp; Professions Code section&nbsp;17200 et seq. and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act; compensatory damages for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and
abetting of breach of fiduciary duty; unjust enrichment and constructive trust; and other pecuniary damages under California Civil Code section&nbsp;1750 and California Welfare&nbsp;&amp; Institutions
Codes section&nbsp;15600 et seq. We have participated in mediation sessions with plaintiffs' counsel since 2011 where potential settlement terms have been discussed. Based upon the current status of
those discussions, the $17.5&nbsp;million litigation liability referred to above represents our best estimate of probable loss with respect to this litigation. However, a formal settlement has not
been reached, the potential settlement has not been reviewed by the court and other factors could potentially result in a change in this estimate as further developments take place. In light of the
inherent uncertainties involved in the pending purported class action lawsuit, there can be no assurance that such litigation, or any other pending or future litigation, will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a full service underwriter of fixed annuity and life insurance products through our wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries,
American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company, American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company of New York, and Eagle Life Insurance Company. Our business consists primarily of the sale of fixed
index and fixed rate annuities and, accordingly, we have only one business segment. Our business strategy is to focus on our annuity business and earn predictable returns by managing investment
spreads and investment risk. We are currently licensed to sell our products in 50 states and the District of Columbia. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We created two Delaware statutory trusts, each pursuant to a declaration of trust executed by us as sponsor for each trust and its
trustees. The trusts are named American Equity Capital Trust V and American Equity Capital Trust VI. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have filed, as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, a form of Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust for each trust which contains the terms
and conditions under which the trusts will issue and sell their preferred securities and common securities. We refer to each Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust as a declaration with respect to
that trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
trust will borrow money, issue debt, reinvest proceeds derived from investments, pledge any of its assets nor otherwise undertake or permit to be undertaken any activity that
would cause it to not be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will own all of the trust common securities. The holder of the trust common securities will receive payments that will be made on a ratable basis with the trust preferred securities.
However, the right of the holder of the trust common securities to payment in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise will be subordinated to the right of the
trust preferred securities holders if there is a continuing event of default under the declaration. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will acquire trust common securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the percentage set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement of the total capital of the
trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
trust will have a term of 55&nbsp;years but may end earlier if its declaration so provides. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will pay all fees and expenses related to each trust and the offering of the trust preferred securities by each trust. </FONT></P>

in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in any prospectus supplement as well as our most recent Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on
Form&nbsp;10-Q and Current Reports on Form&nbsp;8-K filed subsequent to the Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K, which are incorporated by reference into this

the section entitled "Where You Can Find More Information." These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and could result in a partial
or complete loss of your investment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges on a historical basis for the periods indicated. The ratios are
calculated by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Earnings consist of income before income taxes and minority interests plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and the portion of
operating leases that are representative of the interest factor. Interest expense includes interest sensitive and index product benefits and amortization of deferred sales inducements, interest
expense on notes payable, interest expense on subordinated debentures, interest expense on amounts due under repurchase agreements and other interest expense. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
did not have any preferred stock outstanding for the periods presented, and therefore the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends would be the same
as the ratios of earnings to fixed charges presented below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges excluding interest sensitive and index product benefits and
amortization of deferred sales inducements. This ratio is presented here to reflect the effect of excluding interest sensitive and index product benefits and amortization of deferred sales
inducements, which we believe are not indicative of interest expense related to amounts borrowed. Interest sensitive and index product benefits and amortization of deferred sales inducements do not
require cash outlays unless and until annuity holders elect to

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prospectus contains summary descriptions of the debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock
purchase contracts, stock purchase units, trust preferred securities and trust guarantees that we and/or the trusts may sell from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As used in this prospectus, debt securities means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue
from time to time in one or more series. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. Senior debt securities will be issued under a "senior indenture" and
subordinated debt securities will be issued under a "subordinated indenture." This prospectus sometimes refers to the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture collectively as the "indentures."
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the trustee under the indentures will be U.S. Bank National Association. The trustee will be a financial institution that is not
affiliated with us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
indentures are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus
supplement regarding provisions of the indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all
of the provisions of the indentures and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to refer to the indentures and the debt
securities for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions applicable to the indentures and the debt securities. You should read this description of the debt securities and the indentures and
the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable series of debt securities before you buy any debt securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> General  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The debt securities will be our unsecured senior or subordinated obligations. The term "senior" is generally used to describe debt
obligations which entitle the holder to receive payment of principal and interest upon the happening of certain events prior to the holders of
"subordinated" debt. Events which can trigger the right of holders of senior indebtedness to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments to the holders of subordinated indebtedness
include insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, reorganization or an event of default under the senior indebtedness. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may issue the senior debt securities, pursuant to the senior indenture, in one or more series. All series of senior debt securities issued under the senior indenture will be equal in
ranking. The senior debt securities also will rank equally with all our other unsecured indebtedness, other than unsecured indebtedness expressly designated by the holders thereof to be subordinate to
our senior debt securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
senior indebtedness issued pursuant to the senior indenture will rank junior and be subordinate to any of our secured indebtedness. In the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation
event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to the secured indebtedness, the holders of our secured
indebtedness would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the senior indebtedness issued under the senior indenture. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally
, the senior indebtedness issued pursuant to the senior indenture will rank junior and be subordinate to any indebtedness of our subsidiaries. In the event of a bankruptcy,
receivership, liquidation or similar event involving a subsidiary, the assets of that subsidiary would be used to satisfy claims of creditors of the subsidiary, including liabilities under contracts
of insurance and annuities written by our insurance subsidiaries, rather than our creditors. As a result of the application of the subsidiary's assets to satisfy claims of policyholders and creditors,
the value of the stock of the subsidiary would be diminished and perhaps rendered worthless. Any such diminution in the value of the shares of our subsidiaries would adversely impact our financial
condition and possibly impair our ability to meet our obligations on the debt securities. In addition, any liquidation of the assets of a subsidiary to satisfy claims of the subsidiary's creditors
might make it impossible for such subsidiary to pay dividends to us. This inability to pay dividends would further impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under the debt securities. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
debt securities issued under the subordinated indenture will be subordinate in right of payment in respect of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest owing under the
subordinated debt securities to all our senior indebtedness in the manner described below under the caption "Subordination." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue and provide that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in
each case with
the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. We may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series
outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities
under the applicable indenture. The indentures also do not limit our ability to incur other debt. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

an event of default with respect to any debt securities of any series outstanding under either of the indentures shall occur and be continuing, the trustee under such indenture or the

lesser amount as may be provided for in the debt securities of that series) of all the debt securities of that series outstanding to be due and payable immediately; provided that, in the case of an
event of default involving certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, acceleration is automatic; and, provided further, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree
based on acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration
if all events of default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived. Upon the acceleration of the maturity of original issue discount securities, an amount less
than the principal amount thereof will become due and payable. Reference is made to the prospectus supplement relating to any original issue discount securities for the particular provisions relating
to acceleration of maturity thereof. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
past default under either indenture with respect to debt securities of any series, and any event of default arising therefrom, may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all debt securities of such series outstanding under such indenture, except in the case of (i)&nbsp;default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
any debt securities of such series or (ii)&nbsp;default in respect of a covenant or provision which may not be amended or modified without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security
of such series affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
trustee is required, within 90&nbsp;days after the occurrence of a default (which is known to the trustee and is continuing), with respect to the debt securities of any series
(without regard to any grace period or notice requirements), to give to the holders of the debt securities of such series notice of such default; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment, on any debt securities of such series, the trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
trustee, subject to its duties during default to act with the required standard of care, may require indemnification by the holders of the debt securities of any series with respect
to which a default has occurred before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the indentures at the request of the holders of the debt securities of such series. Subject to such right of
indemnification and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series under either indenture may direct the time, method and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may discharge or defease our obligations under each indenture as set forth below. For purposes of the indentures, obligations with
respect to debt securities are discharged and defeased when, through the fulfillment of the conditions summarized below, we are released and discharged from performing any further obligations under
the relevant indenture with respect to the debt securities. Covenant defeasance occurs when we are released from performing any further obligations under specific covenants in the indenture relating
to the debt securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

irrevocably depositing with the trustee cash or U.S. government obligations (as defined in either indenture), as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay when due, whether at
maturity or upon redemption, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such debt securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may elect either (i)&nbsp;to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the debt securities of or within any series (except as otherwise provided in the

("defeasance") or (ii)&nbsp;to be released from our obligations with respect to certain covenants applicable to the debt securities of or within any series ("covenant defeasance"), upon the
irrevocable deposit with the relevant indenture trustee, in trust for such purpose, of money and/or U.S. government obligations which through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with
their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such debt securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and any
mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such
debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance under
clause&nbsp;(i) above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring after the date of the relevant indenture.
In addition, in the case of either defeasance or covenant defeasance, we shall have delivered to the trustee (i)&nbsp;an officers' certificate to the effect that the relevant debt securities
exchange(s) have informed us that neither such debt securities nor any other debt securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit
and (ii)&nbsp;an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>The following description briefly summarizes certain information regarding our capital stock. This information
does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Iowa Business Corporation Act (the "IBCA"), our articles of incorporation, as amended (our "amended
articles of incorporation"), and our amended and restated bylaws (our "bylaws")</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
authorized capital stock consists of 202,000,000 shares, of which 200,000,000 shares are common stock, par value $1 per share, and 2,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value $1
per share. As of September&nbsp;21, 2012, we had issued and outstanding 62,799,591 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to the vote of shareholders.
Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted, and the holders of a majority of shares voting for the election of directors can elect all members of the board of directors. Subject
to the rights of holders of preferred stock, holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the board of
directors. Holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of our common stock have
no preemptive, conversion, redemption or subscription rights. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
2011 and 2010, we paid an annual cash dividend of $0.12 and $0.10, respectively, per share on our common stock. We intend to continue to pay an annual cash dividend on such shares so
long as we have sufficient capital and/or future earnings to do so. However, we anticipate retaining most of our future earnings, if any, for use in our operations and the expansion of our business.
Any further determination as to dividend policy will be made by our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition
and future prospects and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since
we are a holding company, our ability to pay cash dividends depends in large measure on our subsidiaries' ability to make distributions of cash or property to us. Financial
covenants under our existing or future loan agreements and reinsurance agreements, or provisions of the laws of the states where we or our subsidiaries are organized, may limit our subsidiaries'
ability to make sufficient distributions to us to permit us to pay cash dividends on our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of September&nbsp;21, 2012, there were approximately 9,800 holders of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Preferred Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our amended articles of incorporation authorize our board,
without any further stockholder action or approval, to issue these shares from time to time in one or more series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors. Our
board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Options  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of September&nbsp;21, 2012, (a)&nbsp;options to purchase a total of 5,906,950 shares of common stock were outstanding and
(b)&nbsp;up to 4,896,893 additional shares of common stock may be subject to options granted in the future. All of the options contain standard anti-dilution provisions. </FONT></P>

these offerings to purchase subordinated debentures from us. We also issued subordinated debentures to the trusts in exchange for all of the common securities of each trust. The sole assets of the
trusts are the subordinated debentures and any interest accrued thereon. The terms of the preferred securities issued by each trust parallel the terms of the subordinated debentures. Our obligations
under the subordinated debentures and related agreements provide a full and unconditional guarantee of payments due under the trust preferred securities. </FONT></P>

on a community or other factors outweigh the financial or other benefits to us or a stockholder or group of stockholders. Section&nbsp;490.624A of the IBCA also includes authorization of "poison

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> General Terms  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may elect to offer depositary shares representing receipts for fractional interests in preferred stock. In this case, we will issue
receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock, as the case may be. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will deposit the shares of any series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares under a deposit agreement between us and a depositary which we will name in the applicable
prospectus supplement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, an owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock
represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented by the depositary share, including, as the case may be, interest, dividend, voting,
conversion, redemption, sinking fund, repayment at maturity, subscription and liquidation rights. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following description of the terms of the deposit agreement is a summary. It summarizes only those terms of the deposit agreement that we believe will be most important to a decision
to invest in our depositary shares. You should keep in mind, however, that it is the deposit agreement, and not this summary, which defines the rights of a holder of depositary shares. There may be
other provisions in
the deposit agreement that are also important to you. You should read the deposit agreement for a full description of the terms of the depositary shares. We will file&nbsp;a copy of the deposit
agreement with the SEC at or before the time of the offering of the applicable series of depositary shares. This summary is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular
terms of your series of depositary shares described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Interest, Dividends, and Other Distributions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The depositary will distribute all payments of interest, cash dividends or other cash distributions received on the preferred stock to
record holders of depositary shares relating to the preferred stock in proportion to the number of depositary shares that they own. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the appropriate record holders of depositary shares in an equitable manner,
unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make a distribution. In that case the depositary may sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to such record holders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Redemption of Depositary Shares  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we redeem a series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares, the depositary will redeem the depositary shares from the
proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share of preferred
stock payable in relation to the redeemed series of preferred stock. Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the
number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by
lot, proportionately or by any other equitable method as the depositary may determine. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Voting the Preferred Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of any series of deposited preference shares are entitled to vote, the
depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to such preferred stock.

agreement at any time. However, any amendment which materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of the depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by
the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time any amendment becomes effective, or any transferee of the

depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment. We must appoint the successor depositary within
60&nbsp;days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal. The successor depositary must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. </FONT></P>

issued under a separate warrant agreement that we will enter into with a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, as detailed in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrant agent will act solely

to the declaration, the property trustee will own our debt securities purchased by the applicable trust for the benefit of the trust preferred securities holders and the trust
common securities holders. The payment of dividends out of money held by the applicable trust, and payments upon redemption of trust preferred securities or liquidation of any trust, will be
guaranteed by us to the extent described below under "&#151;Trust Guarantees." The trust guarantees, when taken together with our obligations under such debt securities, the indenture under
which such debt securities are issued and the applicable declaration, will provide a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of payments due on the trust preferred
securities, to the extent described below under "&#151;Trust Guarantees." No single document standing alone or operating in conjunction with fewer than all of the other documents constitutes
such guarantee. It is only the combined operation of these documents that has the effect of providing a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the trust's obligations under the trust
preferred securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities, each trust will also issue one series of trust common securities. Each declaration will authorize the regular trustees of a
trust to issue on behalf of the trust one series of trust common securities having the terms, including dividends, conversion, redemption, voting, liquidation rights or the restrictions described in
the applicable declaration. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the trust common securities issued by the trust will be substantially identical to the
terms of the trust preferred securities issued by the trust, and the trust common securities will rank on equal terms with, and payments will be made on a ratable basis with, the trust preferred
securities. However, upon an event of default under the applicable declaration, the rights of the holders of the trust common securities to payment in respect of dividends and payments upon
liquidation, redemption and otherwise will be subordinated to the rights of the trust preferred securities holders. Except in limited circumstances, the trust common securities will also carry the
right to vote and appoint, remove or replace any of the trustees of the related trust. All of the trust common securities of each trust will be directly or indirectly owned by us. </FONT></P>

specific or varying number of debt securities, shares of our common stock or preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, trust preferred securities or other property or securities of an entity
unaffiliated with us, a basket of such or any combination of the above, at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the stock purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate
holders to sell to us, a specific or varying number of shares of debt securities, shares of our common stock or preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, trust preferred securities or other
property. The price per share of preferred stock or common stock or price of other securities may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a
specific formula described in the stock purchase contracts. We may issue stock purchase contracts separately or as a part of stock purchase units each consisting of a purchase contract and debt
securities, undivided beneficial ownership interests in debt securities, trust preferred securities, depositary shares representing fractional interests in debt securities or shares of preferred
stock, or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities, securing the holder's obligations under the purchase contract. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make
periodic payments to holders or vice versa and the payments may be unsecured or pre-funded on some basis. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure the holder's
obligations in a specified manner that we will file with the SEC in connection with a public offering relating to the stock purchase contracts. </FONT></P>

in the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Underwriters or the third parties described above may offer and sell the offered securities from time to time in one or more
transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the
securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. The securities may be either offered to the
public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters' obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain
conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering
of securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment and
stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions
allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in
stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise
prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Some

any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

other dealers to participate in resales. We will include in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be, the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction. </FONT></P>

or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and
