EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-3 (each, a “Registration Statement”) of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company, an Iowa corporation (the “Registrant”), filed by the Registrant with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

● Registration No. 333-267065, filed with the SEC on August 25, 2022; and

● Registration No. 333-268611 , filed with the SEC on November 30, 2022.

On July 4, 2023, the Registrant entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger with Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares (“Parent”) and Arches Merger Sub Inc., an Iowa corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on May 2, 2024, pursuant to Articles of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Iowa.

In connection with the Merger, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to each Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in each Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold or otherwise unissued at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any and all of such securities of the Registrant registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each Registration Statement, and hereby terminates the effectiveness of each Registration Statement. Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities. As a result of this deregistration, no securities remain registered for sale pursuant to either Registration Statement.
