Annuities provide the advantage of tax-deferred interest accumulation. You don’t pay taxes on any growth until you withdraw money. 1 Access to your money. Each Contract Year during the Term Period, you can withdraw up to the Free Withdrawal amount without penalty. Once the Withdrawal Charge period is over, you can access the full value of your annuity at any time. Income you can’t outlive. At the maturity date, you can choose to convert your annuity into a guaranteed stream of income. A legacy for your loved ones. Your annuity can offer your loved ones a quick source of funds to settle matters after your death. 2
Why choose an annuity? Annuities provide insurance against the risk that you’ll outlive your money after you retire. They give you the potential to grow your savings and create a guaranteed stream of income you can’t outlive.
1 Current law already provides tax deferral to IRAs, so there is no additional tax benefit obtained by funding an IRA with an annuity. Consider the other benefits provided by an annuity, such as lifetime income and a Death Benefit. 2 After annuitization, payments will be consistent with the settlement option selected. Taxes may apply.
Building your savings with Athene MaxRate
Choose how much you want to save.
You can purchase an Athene MaxRate annuity with an Initial Premium of $10,000 – $1 million. Larger amounts considered with company approval. After you purchase your annuity you can continue to add money to it. Additional Premium amounts must be at least $1,000, and not more than $100,000 in a rolling 12-month period.
Select your Term Period. With an Athene MaxRate annuity you can select the Term Period that best fits your savings goal. Choose from three, five or seven-year guarantee terms. Your annuity includes a Withdrawal Charge period equal to the Term Period.

Your interest rates are guaranteed. Interest is credited to your annuity using one of two interest crediting strategies. A Multi-Year Fixed Strategy is used to credit interest to the Initial Premium that you used to purchase your annuity. The interest rate for this strategy is guaranteed for the Term Period you chose. A 1-Year Fixed Strategy is used to credit interest to any Additional Premium. The Initial Interest Rate for this strategy is set when you purchase your annuity and is guaranteed for one year. We will declare a Renewal Interest Rate on each Contract Anniversary for the next Contract Year. This rate may vary each year, but it will always equal or exceed the Minimum Renewal Interest Rate guaranteed in your contract. At the end of the Term Period the Multi-Year Strategy Value will be transferred to the 1-Year Fixed Strategy. At this point, your annuity’s full Accumulated Value will be available to you without a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment (MVA).
Your money is protected. Your premium earns a guaranteed rate of interest, regardless of what happens to the stock market. As long as you keep your annuity for the Withdrawal Charge period, your principal and the interest you earn are guaranteed.

Access to your money when you need it most
Free Withdrawals 1
Confinement Waiver 3 Not applicable in CA & MA
Athene MaxRate annuities provide annual Free Withdrawal privileges beginning in the first Contract Year. Each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to an amount equal to the Multi-Year Fixed Strategy Rate multiplied by Accumulated Value (as of the most recent Contract Anniversary) without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment. Required minimum distributions (RMDs) 2 are IRS mandatory withdrawals from tax-qualified contracts such as IRAs. With Athene MaxRate annuities, RMDs are considered part of your annual Free Withdrawal, even if they exceed your Free Withdrawal amount. Your Free Withdrawal amount is equal to the greater of the Free Withdrawal amount or your RMD. If you take Free Withdrawals and then your RMD, it may be subject to Withdrawal Charges and MVA.
After the first Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s Accumulated Value if you’ve been confined to a Qualified Care Facility for at least 60 consecutive days and meet the eligibility requirements. You cannot be confined at the time the contract is issued and confinement must begin at least one year after the Contract Date. No Withdrawal Charge or MVA will apply if you qualify for this benefit.
Terminal Illness Waiver 3 Not applicable in CA You can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s
Accumulated Value if you’re diagnosed with a Terminal Illness that is expected to result in death within one year and you meet the eligibility requirements. This waiver is available after your first Contract Anniversary. You may not be diagnosed during the first Contract Year. No Withdrawal Charge or MVA will apply if you qualify for this benefit.
1 Withdrawals and surrender may be subject to federal and state income tax and, except under certain circumstances, will be subject to an IRS penalty if taken prior to age 59½. Withdrawals in excess of the free amount are subject to a Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment (MVA), which may result in the loss of principal. 2 The IRS requires individuals owning IRAs to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) each year once you reach a certain age, which varies by birthdate. The annual deadline for taking an RMD is December 31. You may delay your first RMD until April 1 of the year after you attain the required beginning age. If you delay your first RMD, you’ll have to take your first and second RMD in the same tax year. If you fail to take your RMD, you may be subject to an excise tax. Please consult with your tax professional for guidelines specific to your situation. Visit IRS.gov for details. 3 This benefit is NOT long-term care insurance nor is it a substitute for such coverage. Waivers may not be available in all states. Additional limitations, variations and exclusions may apply. Please see the Certificate of Disclosure for more information.
Receiving income from your annuity
In addition to periodic or Free Withdrawals, Athene MaxRate provides you with several ways to receive guaranteed income from your annuity. Annuity Payout Options You can begin receiving guaranteed income from your annuity once it matures (on the Annuity Date). This is called “annuitization.” The payment amount will be based on your annuity’s Cash Surrender Value and the Settlement Option you choose. You have different options available to you depending on whether you want to receive income for a set period of time, your lifetime, or the lifetimes of you and your Joint Annuitant. It’s important to note that once you choose to annuitize, the payment schedule and the amount are fixed and can’t be altered. Creating a legacy Athene MaxRate annuities include a Death Benefit. It guarantees that your beneficiary will receive your annuity’s full Accumulated Value or Minimum Guaranteed Contract Value, whichever is greater. The Death Benefit will be paid as long as you haven’t annuitized your contract. After annuitization, payment will be made consistent with the settlement option you chose.

Additional information
Athene MaxRate annuities are designed to help meet your long-term savings and retirement needs. They include a Withdrawal Charge period. If you withdraw more money than the free amount allowed by your contract, or if you surrender your annuity before the Withdrawal Charge period ends, a Withdrawal Charge and MVA will be applied. 1

Withdrawal Charge If you surrender your annuity or withdraw an amount that exceeds the Free Withdrawal amount during the Withdrawal Charge period, you will incur a Withdrawal Charge.

Market Value Adjustment A Market Value Adjustment applies to withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount and full surrenders during the withdrawal charge period. If you take a withdrawal before the end of your withdrawal charge period, an MVA will be applied to that withdrawal. If interest rates in the market are higher than when you purchased your annuity, the MVA is negative, meaning an additional amount is deducted from your contract value. The MVA may increase or decrease the amount of the Withdrawal or Cash Surrender Value of your Contract depending on the change in interest rates. If interest rates have increased, stayed the same, or decreased by less than 0.25%, the MVA will be negative. If interest rates have decreased by more than 0.25%, the MVA will be positive. 2
