AI Powered Multi-Asset Index • The AI Powered Multi-Asset Index (the “AiMAX Index”) is the exclusive property of EquBot and is administered, calculated, and published by Solactive. We also refer to each of the AiGO Index, the AiPEX Index and the AiMAX Index herein as an “Index” and, together, the “Indices.”

Equbot, AiGO, AiPEX, AiMAX, “AI Powered Global Opportunities Index”, “AI Powered US Equity Index” and “AI Powered Multi-Asset Index” (collectively, the “Marks”) are trademarks or service marks of EquBot and have been licensed by HSBC and sub-licensed by Athene Annuity and Life Company (the “Company”) for use in a fixed indexed annuity offered by the Company. The fixed indexed annuity is not, in whole or in part, sponsored, structured, priced, endorsed, offered, sold, issued or promoted by EquBot, HSBC, MerQube, Solactive or any of their affiliates. EquBot and HSBC’s only relationship to the Company is the licensing of the Indices and Marks for certain purposes. MerQube and Solactive’s only relationship to the Company is with respect to administering, calculating and publishing the indices. EquBot, HSBC, MerQube and Solactive shall not have any liability with respect to a fixed indexed annuity in which an interest crediting option is based on an Index and are not liable for any loss relating to the fixed indexed annuity, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of an Index, its methodology, any Mark or otherwise. None of EquBot, HSBC, MerQube or Solactive have any obligation to take into consideration any of the needs of the Company or any of the owners, annuitants or beneficiaries of the fixed indexed annuity in designing, calculating, administering or licensing the Indices.

NONE OF EQUBOT, HSBC, MERQUBE, SOLACTIVE OR THEIR SUPPLIERS GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS OR AVAILABILITY OF THE AIGO INDEX OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF OR DATA INCLUDED THEREIN, OR THAT NO ERROR, OMISSION, DELAY OR INTERRUPTION WILL EXIST THEREIN. NONE OF EQUBOT, HSBC, MERQUBE, SOLACTIVE OR THEIR SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND EACH OF HSBC, EQUBOT, MERQUBE, SOLACTIVE AND THEIR SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE REGARDING (I) MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, AND (II) THE ADVISABILITY OF ANY PERSON INVESTING IN THE FIXED INDEXED ANNUITY.

No purchaser, seller or holder of the fixed indexed annuity, or any other person or entity, should use or refer to any Mark or other EquBot trade name to sponsor, endorse, market or promote the fixed indexed annuity without a license from EquBot and HSBC. Under no circumstances may any person or entity claim any affiliation or
association with EquBot, HSBC, MerQube or Solactive without the prior written permission of EquBot, HSBC, MerQube or Solactive.

In calculating the performance of each of the Indices, EquBot deducts a servicing cost of 0.85% per annum for the AiGO Index, a servicing cost of 0.50% per annum for the AiPEX Index, and a servicing cost of 0.75% per annum for the AiMAX Index, each calculated on a daily basis. Such costs may vary over time with market conditions. These costs reduce the potential positive change in the Indices and thus the amount of interest that will be credited to the fixed indexed annuity option based on each of the Indices.

The volatility control applied by Equbot may reduce the potential positive or negative change in each of the Indices and thus the amount of interest that will be credited to the fixed indexed annuity option that is based on either of the Indices.

Nothing provided herein should be construed as HSBC, Equbot, MerQube, Solactive or any of their suppliers providing tax, legal, or investment advice nor are HSBC, EquBot, MerQube, Solactive or any of their suppliers recommending engaging in any investment strategy or transaction.

BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index • The BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index (the “BNPP MAD 5 Index”) is the exclusive property of BNP Paribas or one of its affiliates (BNP Paribas and its affiliates are hereinafter called “BNPP”) and is determined, composed and calculated by BNPP. “BNP”, “BNPP”, “BNP Paribas”, “BNPP MAD 5 Index” and “BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index” (collectively, the “BNPP Marks”) are trademarks or service marks of BNPP and have been licensed by Athene Annuity and Life Company (the “Company”) for use in a fixed indexed annuity offered by the Company. The fixed indexed annuity is not, in whole or in part, sponsored, structured, priced, endorsed, offered, sold, issued or promoted by BNPP or any of its affiliates, or any third party licensor of information to BNPP. BNPP’s only relationship to the Company is the licensing of the BNPP MAD 5 Index and BNPP Marks for certain purposes. BNPP shall not have any liability with respect to a fixed indexed annuity in which an interest crediting option is based on the BNPP MAD 5 Index, and is not liable for any loss relating to the fixed indexed annuity, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of the BNPP MAD 5 Index, its methodology, any BNPP Mark or otherwise.

In calculating the level of the BNPP MAD 5 Index, BNPP deducts a servicing cost of 0.50% per annum, calculated on a daily basis. In addition, the BNPP MAD 5 Index methodology embeds certain costs which cover among other things, rebalancing and replication costs. Such costs may vary over time with market conditions. These costs reduce the potential positive change in the BNPP MAD 5 Index and thus the amount of interest that will be credited to the fixed indexed annuity that includes the BNPP MAD 5 Index.
