ELNY was placed into rehabilitation by the New York Insurance Department in 1991.  The amount represents assessments already received and estimates of assessments expected to be received in the coming months.  The estimates of assessments expected to be received are based upon information currently available and are subject to ongoing evaluation.  Our life insurance subsidiaries are 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 such as ELNY.  </font></div><div style="line-height:174%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">EARNINGS RELEASE, CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST</font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">AEL will announce its second quarter 2013 earnings after the close of the market on Wednesday, July 31, 2013.
