Organization and Description of the Company
1. Organization and Description of the Company
American National Group Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “ANGI”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”), is focused on securing the financial futures of individuals and institutions through a range of insurance and retirement services. Our business is presently conducted through our subsidiaries under three operating segments, which we refer to as our Annuities, Property and Casualty (“P&C”), and Life Insurance segments. We conduct our business in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
On May 2, 2024, the Company's predecessor, American Equity Investment Life Holding Company, an Iowa corporation ("AEL" or "American Equity") merged with and into Arches Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. ("Brookfield Wealth Solutions"), with AEL surviving and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AEL's common stock was converted into the right to receive cash and class A limited voting shares of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“BAM”). On May 7, 2024, American National Group, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions ("American National"), merged with and into AEL, with AEL surviving as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions (the "Post-Effective Merger"). Subsequently, AEL discontinued its existence as an Iowa corporation and continued its existence as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the "Reincorporation"). In connection with the Reincorporation, AEL changed its name to American National Group Inc. ANGI is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions. In September 2024, Brookfield Wealth Solutions changed its name from Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd. to Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. and changed its trading symbol from “BNRE” to “BNT”. For purposes of these notes to the consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”), the “Company” refers to either ANGI or AEL, as required by the context.
As a result of the Post-Effective Merger, the consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Post-Effective Merger represent the results of American National as the accounting acquirer. For periods subsequent to the Post-Effective Merger, the consolidated financial statements represent the combined results of American National and AEL.
On August 6, 2021, American National’s corporate predecessor, American National Group, Inc. (“ANAT”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ANAT Merger Agreement”) with Brookfield Wealth Solutions, then known as Brookfield Asset Management Reinsurance Partners Ltd., and Freestone Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions (“Freestone Merger Sub”). On May 25, 2022, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the ANAT Merger Agreement, Freestone Merger Sub merged with and into ANAT (the “ANAT Merger”), with ANAT continuing as the surviving entity, which became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions. The ANAT Merger was unanimously approved by ANAT’s board of directors. ANAT received the requisite stockholder approval required under Delaware law for the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Effective September 30, 2022, ANAT converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company, American National. As a result, the successor periods consist of the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the comparative period from May 25, 2022 to December 31, 2022. The predecessor period consists of January 1, 2022 through May 24, 2022.
