NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 – Nature of Operations

On July 1, 2020, American National Insurance Company, a Texas insurance company (“ANICO”), completed its previously announced holding company reorganization. As a result of such reorganization, ANICO became a wholly owned subsidiary of American National Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ANAT”), and ANAT replaced ANICO as the publicly held company. Consequently, all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from July 2, 2020 forward will be filed by ANAT under CIK No. 0001801075. Upon the effective date of the holding company reorganization, ANAT retired 3,945,249 shares of common stock that were held in treasury at ANICO prior to the reorganization. The amount of retired treasury stock in excess of par value was charged to retained earnings. Before and after the reorganization, the issuer had 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 26,887,200 common shares outstanding. As a result of the reorganization, each share of ANICO common stock, par value $1.00 per share was automatically converted into one duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of ANAT common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As a result of the reorganization, the directors and officers of ANICO became directors and officers of ANAT. There is no change in the ultimate ownership of the organization and business operations will continue from our current office locations and companies. ANAT, through its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “American National” or the “Company”) offers a broad portfolio of insurance products, including individual and group life insurance, annuities, health insurance, and property and casualty insurance. Business is conducted in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and are reported in U.S. currency. American National consolidates entities that are wholly-owned and those in which American National owns less than 100% but controls the voting rights, as well as variable interest entities in which American National is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which include real estate partnerships and investment funds, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Changes in prior period presentation were made to conform to the current period presentation.

WeDuring the first quarter of 2021, we reclassified the Company's earnings from equity method investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from "Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates" to "Net investment income." For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, $15.7$(13.6) million wasand $2.1 million were reclassified, with no impact to net income. We also reclassified the related asset balances in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position from "Investments in unconsolidated affiliates" to "Real estate and real estate partnerships" and "Investment funds",funds," with no impact to total assets. Management believes these reclassifications result in increased transparency to the users of the financial statements as it relates to the Company's invested assets and the performance of these investments that are tied to the primary operations of the Company.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in American National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated financial statement balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

StandardDescriptionEffective Date and Method of AdoptionImpact on Financial Statements
ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income TaxesThe amendments simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in the existing guidance including those related to intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items. The amendments require that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax as well as other minor changes.This standard became effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2021. The new guidance specifies which amendments should be applied prospectively, retrospective to all periods presented or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption.The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

0FutureFuture Adoption of New Accounting Standards—The FASB issued the following accounting guidance relevant to American National:

StandardDescriptionEffective Date and Method of AdoptionImpact on Financial Statements
ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration ContractsThe guidance will improve the timeliness of recognizing changes in the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment long-duration contracts and will modify the rate used to discount future cash flows. The guidance will also simplify the accounting for certain market-based options or guarantees associated with deposit (or account balance) contracts (market risk benefits), simplify the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and add significant qualitative and quantitative disclosures.This standard will become effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2023, which was extended from the previous effective date of January 1, 2022 through the issuance of ASU 2020-11. The guidance allows for one of two adoption methods, a modified retrospective transition or a full retrospective transition except for the changes to accounting for market risk benefits which will require a retrospective transition.We are currently evaluating the impact of the amendment to the Company. Based on the nature of the standard, we expect the impact to be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial ReportingThe amendments in this guidance provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance only applies to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.The amendments in this guidance are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and will sunset through December 31, 2022, at which time the application of exceptions and optional expedients will no longer be permitted.The inventory of LIBOR exposures has been completed and is primarily limited to floating rate bonds, alternative investments, and borrowings within joint venture investments. Some of the contracts included in these categories will mature prior to December 31, 2021, the start of LIBOR rates cessations. The transition from LIBOR is expected to result in an immaterial impact to the Company.

Unrealized losses on bonds available-for-sale where an allowance for credit loss was not recorded were concentrated in the Company's corporate securities within the oil and gas sectors. A number of assumptions and estimates are inherent in evaluating whether an allowance for credit loss is necessary, which include the financial condition, near term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry conditions and trends and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices. Based on this evaluation, unrealized losses on bonds available-for-sale where an allowance for credit loss was not recorded were concentrated in the Company's fixed maturity securities within the electronic equipment sector.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Held-to-Maturity Securities—Management measures expected credit losses on bonds held-to-maturity on a qualitative adjustment basis by major security type: corporate bonds, structured products, municipals, specialty products and treasuries. Accrued interest receivable on held-to maturityheld-to-maturity debt securities are excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current market conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts based upon a third-party valuation model.

Available-for-Sale Securities—For available-for-sale bonds in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell the security or will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria are met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For bonds available-for-sale that do not meet either indicated criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit events or market factors. In making this assessment, management first calculates the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, and then may consider any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any specific conditions related to the security. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded through income, limited to the amount fair value is less than amortized cost. Any remaining unrealized loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

When the discounted cash flow method is used to determine the allowance for credit losses, management's estimates incorporate expected prepayments, if any. Model inputs are considered reasonable and supportable for three years. A mean reversion is applied in years four and five. Credit loss allowance is not measured on accrued interest receivable because the balance is written off to net investment income in a timely manner, within 90 days. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recognized through the condensed consolidated statement of operations as change in estimated credit loss.

No accrued interest receivables were written off as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company monitors the credit quality of bonds held-to-maturity through the use of credit ratings, which are updated on a monthly basis. The two traditional metrics for assessing interest rate risks are interest-coverage ratios and capitalization ratios, which can also be used in the assessment of credit risk. These risks are fairly mitigated through the diversification of bond investments. Categories of diversification include credit ratings, geographic locations, maturities, and market sector.

Note 5 – Mortgage Loans

Generally, commercial mortgage loans are secured by first liens on income-producing real estate. American National attempts to maintain a diversified portfolio by considering both the location of the underlying collateral as well as the type of mortgage loan. The geographic categories come from the U.S. Census Bureau's "Census Regions and Divisions of the United States."

Note 5 – Mortgage Loans – (Continued)


Allowance for Credit Losses

Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized discount, deferred expenses and allowances. The allowance for credit losses is based upon the current expected credit loss model. The model considers past loss experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Reversion for the allowance calculation is implicit in the models used to determine the allowance. The methodology uses a discounted cash flow approach based on expected cash flows.

The rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for mortgage loans is shown below (in thousands):

The change in allowance for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by distress ina favorable response of the hospitality industry which has seen a dramatic increase in loss results as the individual markets are now expected to rebound more slowly than previously anticipated. This is partially offset; however, by a more optimistic outlook for the industrial, office and retail sectors as they are expectedindustries to more directly benefit from the general re-opening of the economy access to vaccines and approval ofresulting increases in travel and brick-and-mortar shopping.

The Company’s use of derivative instruments exposes it to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The Company has a policy of only dealing with counterparties it believes are creditworthy and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the financial loss from defaults. The Company holds collateral in cash and notes secured by U.S. government-backed assets. The non-performance risk is the net counterparty exposure based on the fair value of the open contracts, less the fair value of collateral held. The Company maintains master netting agreements with its current active trading partners. As such, a right of offset has been applied to collateral that supports credit risk and has been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position as an offset to “Other invested assets” with an associated payable to “Other liabilities” for excess collateral.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. A fair value hierarchy is used to determine fair value based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant. American National has evaluated the types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. The classification of assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect American National’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Valuation Techniques for Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value

Fixed Maturity Securities and Equity Options—American National utilizes a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements. The fair value for fixed maturity securities that are disclosed as Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets that are readily available in an active market. The estimates of fair value for most fixed maturity securities, including municipal bonds, provided by the pricing service are disclosed as Level 2 measurements as the estimates are based on observable market information rather than market quotes. The pricing service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Since fixed maturity securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Additionally, an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.

The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, pricing source quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and economic events. The extent of the use of each market input depends on the asset class and the market conditions. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant. For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.

American National has reviewed the inputs and methodology used and the techniques applied by the pricing service to produce quotes that represent the fair value of a specific security. The review confirms that the pricing service is utilizing information from observable transactions or a technique that represents a market participant’s assumptions. American National does not adjust quotes received from the pricing service. The pricing service utilized by American National has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information available.

American National holds a small amount of private placement debt and fixed maturity securities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing. For these securities, a quote from an independent pricing source (typically a market maker) is obtained. Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate the price is indicative only, American National includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.

For securities priced using a quote from an independent pricing source, such as the equity-indexed options and certain fixed maturity securities, American National uses a market-based fair value analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received. Price variances above a certain threshold are analyzed further to determine if any pricing issue exists. This analysis is performed quarterly.

Equity Securities—For publicly-traded equity securities, prices are received from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions, and these securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. For certain preferred stock, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable. In these instances, an estimated fair value is received from the pricing service. The service utilizes similar methodologies to price preferred stocks as it does for fixed maturity securities. If applicable, these estimates would be disclosed as Level 2 measurements. American National tests the accuracy of the information provided by reference to other services annually.

Short-Term Investments—Short-term investments are primarily commercial paper rated A2 or P2 or better by Standard & Poor's and Moody's, respectively. Commercial paper is carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. These investments are classified as Level 2 measurements.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities—Separate account assets and liabilities are funds that are held separate from the general assets and liabilities of American National. Separate account assets include funds representing the investments of variable insurance product contract holders, who bear the investment risk of such funds. Investment income and investment gains and losses from these separate funds accrue to the benefit of the contract holders. American National reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in such separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts if (i) such separate accounts are legally recognized; (ii) assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from American National’s general account liabilities; (iii) investments are directed by the contract holder; and (iv) all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contract holder. In addition, American National's qualified pension plan assets are included in separate accounts. The assets of these accounts are carried at fair value. Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for these accounts are excluded from revenues, and related liability increases are excluded from benefits and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of American National.

The separate account assets included on the quantitative disclosures fair value hierarchy table are comprised of short-term investments, equity securities, and fixed maturity bonds available-for-sale. Equity securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. Short-term investments and fixed maturity securities are classified as Level 2 measurements. These classifications for separate account assets reflect the same fair value level methodologies as listed above as they are derived from the same vendors and follow the same process.

The separate account assets also include cash and cash equivalents, investment funds, accrued investment income, and receivables for securities. These are not financial instruments and are not included in the quantitative disclosures of fair value hierarchy table.

No gains or losses were recognized on assets transferred to separate accounts for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Embedded Derivative—The amounts reported within policyholder contract deposits include equity linked interest crediting rates based on the S&P 500 within indexed annuities and indexed life. The following unobservable inputs are used for measuring the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the policyholder contract liabilities:
Lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience. Lapse rates are generally assumed to be lower during a contract’s surrender charge period and then higher once the surrender charge period has ended. Decreases to the assumed lapse rates generally increase the fair value of the liability as more policyholders persist to collect the crediting interest pertaining to the indexed product. Increases to the lapse rate assumption decrease the fair value.
Mortality rate assumptions vary by age and gender based on company and industry experience. Decreases to the assumed mortality rates increase the fair value of the liabilities as more policyholders earn crediting interest. Increases to the assumed mortality rates decrease the fair value as higher decrements reduce the potential for future interest credits.
Equity volatility assumptions begin with current market volatilities and grow to long-term values. Increases to the assumed volatility will increase the fair value of liabilities, as future projections will produce higher increases in the linked index. At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the one year implied volatility used to estimate embedded derivative value was 15.0%17.5% and 17.6%, respectively.

Fair values of indexed life and annuity liabilities are calculated using the discounted cash flow technique. Shown below are the significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the Level 3 fair value of the embedded derivatives within policyholder contract deposits (in millions, except range percentages):

Unless information is obtained fromThere were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchies during the pricing sources that indicates observable inputs were used in their pricing, there are not enough observable inputs to enable American National to classify the securities priced by the pricing source as other than Level 3.periods presented. American National’s valuation of these securities involves judgment regarding assumptionsfinancial instruments categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable or had a decline in market activity that obscured observability. The indicators considered in determining whether a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for a specific asset has occurred include the level of new issuances in the primary market, trading volume in the secondary market, the level of credit spreads over historical levels, applicable bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants would use including quotes from independentand other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing sources include recent transactions in the security, similar bonds with same name, ratings, maturity and structure, external dealer quotes in the security, Bloomberg evaluated pricing and prior months pricing. None of these inputs were observable to American National as of March 31, 2021. The transfers out ofinto Level 3 during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 were the result of securities not being priced by the third-party service at the end of the period,period.

Equity Index Options—Certain over the counter equity options are valued using inputsmodels that were observable or derived from market data, which resultedare widely accepted in classification of these assetsthe financial services industry. These are categorized as Level 2.3 as a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs such as volatility and forward price/dividend assumptions. Other primary inputs include interest rate assumptions (risk-free rate assumptions), and underlying equity quoted index prices for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets.

Investment Securities—These bonds use cost as the best estimate of fair value. They are valued at cost because the value would not change unless there is a fundamental deterioration in the portfolio. There is no observable market valuation price or third-party sources that provide market values for these securities since they are not publicly traded. The common and preferred stock are valued at market transaction, option pricing method, or guideline public company method based on the best available information.

Separately Managed Accounts—The separately managed account manager uses the mid-point of a range from a third-party to price these securities. Discounted cash flows (yield analysis) and market transactions approach are used in the valuation. They use discount rate which is considered an unobservable input.

Fair Value Information About Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

Information about fair value estimates for financial instruments not measured at fair value is discussed below:

Fixed Maturity Securities—The fair value of bonds held-to-maturity is determined to be consistent with the disclosure under Valuation Techniques for the Financial Instrument Recorded at Fair Value section.

Mortgage Loans—The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan by loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan. Factors used to arrive at the discount rate include inputs from spreads based on U.S. Treasury notes and the loan’s credit quality, region, property type,property-type, lien priority, payment type and current status.

Policy Loans—The carrying value of policy loans is the outstanding balance plus any accrued interest. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans such that they cannot be separated from the policy contracts, the unpredictable timing of repayments and the fact that settlement is at outstanding value, American National believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.

Separately Managed Accounts—The amounts reported in separately managed accounts consist primarily of notes and private equity. These investments are private placements and do not have a readily determinable fair value. The carrying value of the separately managed accounts is cost or market value, if available from the separately managed account manager. Market value is provided by the separately managed account manager in subsequent quarters. American National believes that cost approximates fair value at initial recognition during the quarter of investment.

Investment Contracts—The carrying value of investment contracts is equivalent to the accrued account balance. The accrued account balance consists of deposits, net of withdrawals, net of interest credited, fees and charges assessed and other adjustments. American National believes that the carrying value of investment contracts approximates fair value because the majority of these contracts’ interest rates reset at anniversary.

Notes Payable—Notes payable are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because the underlying interest rates approximate market rates at the balance sheet date.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advance—The Federal Home Loan Bank advance iswas carried at outstanding principal balance. The fair value of the advance iswas obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas.

Note 11 – Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses

The liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses (“claims”) for health and property and casualty insurance is included in “Policy and contract claims” in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and is the amount estimated for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims and claims that have been reported but not settled. The liability for unpaid claims is estimated based upon American National’s historical experience and actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends and risk management programs, less anticipated salvage and subrogation. The effects of the changes are included in the condensed consolidated results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. The time value of money is not taken into account for the purposes of calculating the liability for unpaid claims. There have been no significant changes in methodologies or assumptions used to calculate the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses.

The SARs vested at a rate of 20% per year for five years and expired five years after vesting. All remaining SARs expired on May 1, 2020.

RS awards entitle the participant to full dividend and voting rights. Each RS share awarded has the value of one share of restricted stock and vests 10 years from the grant date. Unvested shares are restricted as to disposition, and are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The restrictions on these awards lapse after 10 years and feature a graded vesting schedule in the case of the retirement, death or disability of an award holder.

Statutory Capital and Surplus

Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) is a measure insurance regulators use to evaluate the capital adequacy of American National's insurance subsidiaries. RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level at least 200% of the authorized controlcompany action level RBC are required to take certain actions. At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ANICO's statutory capital and surplus was $3.7$3.8 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, which resulted in an RBC level above 200% of the authorized controlcompany action level. All of our other insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, above 200% of the authorized controlcompany action level, except for ANPAC Louisiana Insurance Company ("ANPLA"). At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ANPLA's statutory capital and surplus was $63.5$63.4 million and $68.5 million respectively, which resulted in an RBC level of 179% and 194% of the authorized controlcompany action level. This decrease in RBC of ANPLA is primarily driven by an increase in homeowners catastrophe losses impacting the operating results in 2021 and 2020. We are actively managing our homeowners exposure of ANPLA, will continue to monitor the surplus levels and will be addressing rate adequacy through future planned underwriting and rate actions.

American National's insurance subsidiaries prepare financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of each subsidiary's state of domicile, which include certain components of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (“NAIC Codification”). NAIC Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting practices continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact the statutory capital and surplus of our insurance subsidiaries.

Statutory accounting differs from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus.

One of American National’s insurance subsidiaries has been granted a permitted practice from the Missouri Department of Insurance to record as the valuation of its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary that is the attorney-in-fact for a Texas domiciled insurer, the statutory capital and surplus of the Texas domiciled insurer. This permitted practice increases the statutory capital and surplus of both ANICO and American National Lloyds Insurance Company by $65.3$61.2 million and $75.3 million at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The statutory capital and surplus of both ANICO and American National Lloyds Insurance Company would have remained above the Company action level RBC had it not used the permitted practice.

Dividends

Dividends are paid on a quarterly basis. We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share for each quarter during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and March 31,June 30, 2020, and we expect to continue to pay regular cash dividends, although there is no assurance as to future dividends because they depend on future earnings, capital requirements and financial conditions.

The amount of dividends paid by our insurance company subsidiaries is restricted by insurance law. These restrictions are based, in part, on the prior year’s statutory income and surplus. In general, dividends up to specified levels are considered ordinary and may be paid without prior regulatory approval. Dividends in larger amounts, or extraordinary dividends, are subject to approval by the insurance commissioner of the relevant state of domicile. For example, restrictions applicable to Texas-domiciled life insurance companies like ANICO limit the payment of dividends to the greater of the prior year’s statutory net income from operations, or 10% of prior year statutory surplus, in each case determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles. ANICO is permitted without prior approval of the Texas Department of Insurance to pay total dividends of $363.9 million during 2021.

Noncontrolling Interest

American National County Mutual Insurance Company (“County Mutual”) is a mutual insurance company owned by its policyholders. ANICO has a management agreement that effectively gives it control of County Mutual. As a result, County Mutual is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of American National. Policyholder interests in the financial position of County Mutual are reflected as noncontrolling interest of $6.8 million at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

American National Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries exercise control or ownership of various joint ventures, resulting in their consolidation into American National’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The interests of the other partners in the consolidated joint ventures are shown as a noncontrolling interest of $0.5$0.2 million and a noncontrolling deficit of $0.9 million at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, of American National’s 2020 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. All revenues and expenses specifically attributable to policy transactions are recorded directly to the appropriate operating segment. Revenues and expenses not specifically attributable to policy transactions are allocated to each segment as follows:
Recurring income from bonds and mortgage loans is allocated based on the assets allocated to each line of business at the average yield available from these assets.
Net investment income from all other assets is allocated to the insurance segments in accordance with the amount of capital allocated to each segment, with the remainder recorded in the Corporate and Other segment.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

American National and its subsidiaries lease insurance sales office space, technological equipment, and automobiles. The remaining long-term lease commitments at March 31,June 30, 2021 were approximately $8.0$7.5 million.

American National had aggregate commitments at March 31,June 30, 2021 to purchase, expand or improve real estate, to fund fixed interest rate mortgage loans, and to purchase other invested assets of $1.3$1.6 billion of which $572.6$682.7 million is expected to be funded in 2021 with the remainder funded in 2022 and beyond.

American National had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $3.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Agreements

In May 2018, the Company became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) to augment its liquidity resources. The Company initially purchased $7.0 million of stock to meet the FHLB’s membership requirement. The FHLB member stock is recorded in other invested assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Through its membership, the Company has access to the FHLB’s financial services including advances that provide an attractive funding source for short-term borrowing and for access to other funding agreements. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, certain municipal bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of approximately $60.3$50.0 million and commercial mortgage loans of approximately $1.5 billion were on deposit with the FHLB as collateral for borrowing. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the collateral provided borrowing capacity for the $250.0 million in outstanding advances as well asof approximately $740.7 million in additional borrowing capacity.$1.1 billion. The deposited securities and commercial mortgage loans are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial position within fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans on real estate, net of allowance, respectively.

FHLB outstanding advances as of March 31, 2021 are shown below (in thousands, except percentages):

Principal AmountInterest RateMaturity Date

Guarantees

ANICO has guaranteed bank loans for customers of a third-party marketing operation. The bank loans are used to fund premium payments on life insurance policies issued by ANICO. The loans are secured by the cash values of the life insurance policies. If the customer were to default on a bank loan, ANICO would be obligated to pay off the loan. As the cash values of the life insurance policies always equal or exceed the balance of the loans, management does not foresee any loss on these guarantees. The total amount of the guarantees outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2021, was approximately $121.4 million, while the total cash value of the related life insurance policies was approximately $143.8$141.2 million.

Litigation

American National and certain subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of contracts, various employment matters, allegedly deceptive insurance sales and marketing practices, and miscellaneous other causes of action arising in the ordinary course of operations. Certain of these lawsuits include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. We provide accruals for these items to the extent we deem the losses probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing these matters with legal counsel, based upon information presently available, management is of the opinion that the ultimate resultant liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on American National’s condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future.

Such speculation warrants caution, as the frequency of large damage awards, which bear little or no relation to the economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given lawsuit. These lawsuits are in various stages of development, and future facts and circumstances could result in management changing its conclusions. It is possible that, if the defenses in these lawsuits are not successful, and the judgments are greater than management can anticipate, the resulting liability could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. With respect to the existing litigation, management currently believes that the possibility of a material judgment adverse to American National is remote and no estimate of range can be made for loss contingencies that are at least reasonably possible but not accrued.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following pages provide management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 of American National Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to in this document as “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”). This information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

Introductory Note Regarding Pending Merger

On August 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Brookfield Reinsurance Asset Management Reinsurance Partners Ltd. (“Brookfield Reinsurance”), an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda, and Freestone Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Reinsurance (“Merger Sub”). On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, which will become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Reinsurance. The Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors.

On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive $190.00 in cash without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), for total Merger Consideration of approximately $5.1 billion. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding and unvested restricted share award and restricted stock unit award will vest and be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock subject to such award prior to the Effective Time.

Closing Conditions. The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including: (i) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (ii) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party; and (iii) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants. Brookfield Reinsurance’s and Merger Sub’s obligations are also conditioned upon the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company and the absence of any burdensome condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) imposed by any regulators as part of the regulatory approval process.

Financing. Brookfield Reinsurance has received an equity commitment letter from Brookfield Asset Management Inc., the aggregate proceeds of which will provide Brookfield Reinsurance with the funds needed to consummate the Merger, including to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The equity commitment will be reduced by the amount of any debt actually funded at closing if and to the extent that such debt financing is used to fund the payment of Merger Consideration. The completion of the Merger is not conditioned on receipt of financing by Brookfield Reinsurance.

Stockholder Approval. The Merger Agreement has already received the requisite stockholder approval required under Delaware law. Under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, stockholders are permitted to take action by majority written consent in lieu of a stockholder meeting. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to take all actions necessary, immediately after the execution of the Merger Agreement, to seek and obtain stockholder written consents from certain stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These stockholder written consents, representing a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, were timely delivered to the Company. No further approval of the stockholders of the Company is required to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement.

Termination Rights and Termination Date. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Brookfield Reinsurance and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Brookfield Reinsurance a termination fee equal to $178.5 million. If the Merger has not closed by May 6, 2022 (“Outside Date”), either the Company or Brookfield Reinsurance may terminate the Merger Agreement.However, if the closing has not occurred because (a) any applicable waiting period under any antitrust law relating to the Merger has not expired or been terminated or (b) certain governmental approvals or prior written non-disapprovals have not been obtained, and all other conditions to closing have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the closing) or waived, the Outside Date will be August 6, 2022.

Interim Operating Covenants. The Company has agreed to certain covenants in the Merger Agreement restricting the conduct of its business between the date of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement.

The Company has agreed that it and its Subsidiaries will conduct their business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in all material respects and use reasonable best efforts to preserve their business organizations, goodwill and assets, keep available the services of their current key officers and employees, and preserve their present relationships with governmental entities and other key third parties, including customers, reinsurers, distributors, suppliers and other persons with whom the Company and its subsidiaries have business relationships.

COVID-19 Response

A summary of actions the company has taken in response to COVID-19 through December 31, 2020 is disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. Below is a summary of subsequent developments in our COVID-19 response:
We have takencontinue to take steps to protect employees with the goals of maintaining their health and sustaining an adequate workforce, including directing as many employees as possible to workworking from home and offering flexibility for employees negotiating scheduling conflicts due to the impacts of COVID-19, such as caring for family, alternative arrangements and shutdowns for business and schools, self-isolation or personal illness, including granting additional paid time off to getfor vaccinations and to address these hardships.
We suspended our summer Internship Program for 2020, and in 2021 are piloting a program which combines both virtual and in-person elements for a small group of interns.
We have developed and continue to refineare continually refining our return-to-office programs as we transition through the different reopening situations atplans for our locations. During the first quarter of 2021, viral infectionsBeginning in the general population have begun to increase again resulting in resumption of restrictions in certain areas in whichJune, we operate. As a result, we have temporarily paused further return-to-office plans at our locations until June 2021. At that time, we will potentially be gradually re-introducingre-introduced more employees to our office locations and are exploringin the process of implementing longer-term plans to offer employees hybrid work schedules, where possible.

No assurance can be given that these actions will be successful, nor can we predict the level of disruption that will occur should the COVID-19 pandemic and its related macroeconomic risks continue for an extended period of time. Given this uncertainty, we are unable to quantify with reasonable confidence the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The wide-ranging social, economic and financial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possible effects of ongoing and future governmental action in response to COVID-19 compound this uncertainty. Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic are set forth in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2020 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. For additional information regarding the direct and indirect impact to mortality refer to Part I, Item 2.2, MD&A, Life.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, - Financial Information, - Item 1, Financial Statements.

General Trends

During the firstsecond quarter of 2021, American National had no material changes to the general trends discussed in the MD&A included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. However, please see the "COVID-19 Response and Update" discussion above for general information about the pandemic's impact on us.us, as well as "Introductory Note Regarding Pending Merger" above for general information about the pending merger transaction with Brookfield Reinsurance.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition to GAAP, insurance companies apply specific SEC regulations when preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from results reported using those estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies inherently require the use of judgment relating to a variety of assumptions and estimates, particularly expectations of current and future mortality, morbidity, persistency, expenses, interest rates, and property and casualty loss frequency, severity, claim reporting and settlement patterns. Due to the inherent uncertainty when using the assumptions and estimates, the effect of certain accounting policies under different conditions or assumptions could vary from those reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see the MD&A in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021.

Life insurance sales are based on the total yearly premium that insurance companies would expect to receive if all recurring premium policies would remain in-force, plus 10% of single and excess premiums. Life insurance sales measure activity associated with gaining new insurance business in the current period, and includes deposits received related to interest sensitive life and universal life-type products. Whereas GAAP premium revenues are associated with policies sold in current and prior periods, and deposits received related to interest sensitive life and universal life-type products are recorded in a policyholder account which is reflected as a liability. Therefore, a reconciliation of premium revenues and insurance sales is not meaningful.

Total Recurring Life sales increased during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to 2020. Life sales were impacted in 2020 primarily dueby stay-at-home orders and economic uncertainty related to higher Universal Life and Indexed Universal Life sales.COVID-19.

Investments

We manage our investment portfolio to optimize the rate of return commensurate with sound and prudent asset selection and to maintain a well-diversified portfolio in support of our products and capital. Our investment operations are regulated primarily by the state insurance departments where our insurance companies are domiciled. Investment activities, including setting investment policies and defining acceptable risk levels, are subject to oversight by our Board of Directors, which is assisted by our Finance Committee, ALM Committee and Enterprise Risk Management Committee.

Our insurance and annuity products are generally supported by investment-grade bonds and commercial mortgage loans. We also invest in equity options as a hedge for our indexed products. We purchase fixed maturity securities and designate them as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale considering our estimated future cash flow needs. We also monitor the composition of our fixed maturity securities classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale and adjust the mix within the portfolio as investments mature or new investments are purchased.

We invest in commercial mortgage loans when the yield and credit risk compare favorably with fixed maturity securities. Individual residential mortgage loans including sub-prime or Alt-A mortgage loans have not been and are not expected to be part of our investment portfolio.

Policy Loans—For certain life insurance products, policyholders may borrow funds using the policy’s cash value as collateral. The maximum amount of the policy loan depends upon the policy’s surrender value. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we had $369.5$365.9 million in policy loans with a loan to surrender value of 55%54%, and at December 31, 2020, we had $373.0 million in policy loans with a loan to surrender value of approximately 56%. Interest rates on policy loans primarily range from 3.0% to 12.0% per annum. Policy loans may be repaid at any time by the policyholder and have priority to any claims on the policy. If the policyholder fails to repay the policy loan, funds are withdrawn from the policy’s benefits.

Real Estate and Real Estate Partnerships—We invest in commercial real estate where positive cash flows and/or appreciation in value is expected. Real estate may be owned directly by our insurance companies or non-insurance affiliates or indirectly in joint ventures with real estate developers or investors we determine share our perspective regarding risk and return relationships. The carrying value of real estate is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairments, if any. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the properties. The carrying value of our real estate partnerships is determined by using the equity method of accounting.

Investment Funds—Our investment funds are primarily comprised of senior secured and second lien private loans that are secured by assets, revenues and credit/balance sheet lending. We recognize our share of the fund’s earnings in net investment income on a one-quarter lag under the equity method of accounting. Cash distributions are received from the earnings and from liquidation of underlying investments.

Short-TermShort-term Investments—Short-term investments are primarily commercial paper rated A2 or P2 or better by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively. The amount fluctuates depending on our view of the desirability of investing in the available long-term investment opportunities and our liquidity needs, including mortgage investment-funding commitments.

These loans are carried at fair value. Other invested assets also include equity-indexed options, carried at fair value, net of collateral provided by counterparties; such collateral is restricted to the Company’s use. Additionally, other invested assets include FHLB capital stock, mineral rights, mezzanine loans and lease financing arrangements, all of which are carried at cost.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gains (Losses)

Net investment income increased $139.0$162.7 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher gains on options from an improvement in the S&P 500 Index.Index, and an increase in income from mortgage loan profit participation and prepayment income, real estate joint ventures and investment funds.

The net change in the unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities between March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is primarily attributable to the increase in benchmark ten-year interest rates, which were 1.8%1.4% and 0.9%, respectively. The Company does not currently intend to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position.

Liquidity

As a result of the holding company reorganization, ANICO became a wholly owned subsidiary of ANAT. ANAT's source of liquidity is solely derived from dividends received from ANICO.

We are monitoring our liquidity needs closely. In April 2020, the Company borrowed $500.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas' COVID-19 Relief Advance Program. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, onethere are no advances outstanding; the final advance totaling $250.0 million was outstanding and was repaid on its maturity date of April 28, 2021. The available liquidity immediately followingthrough the repaymentFHLB at June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.1 billion.

As a result of the impacts of COVID-19, state insurance departments across the country issued regulations that required us not to cancel policies for non-payment for varying amounts of time but generally for at least 90-day periods which began in March and early April 2020. The cancellation and grace periods have been lifted in mostall states.

The primary use of cash has been and is expected to continue to be payment of policyholder benefits and claims incurred. Current and expected patterns of claim frequency and severity may change from period to period but continue to be within historical norms. Management currently considers our current liquidity position to be sufficient to meet anticipated demands over the next twelve months. Our contractual obligations are not expected to have a significant negative impact to cash flows from operations.

Our defined benefit plans are frozen and currently adequately funded; however, low interest rates, increased longevity of participants, and rising Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) premiums may cause us to increase our funding of the plans.

We are currently evaluating the renovation and modernization of our home office facilities. This could result in capital expenditures that could aggregate to approximately $100$100.0 million over a three year period beginning in 2021;2022; however, current uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic could causehave caused us to lower or delay anticipated spending on capital investment projects.this project at this time. There are no other unusually large capital expenditures expected in the next 12-24 months.

We have consistently paid dividends to our stockholders and expect to continue this tradition. There are no other known trends or uncertainties regarding product pricing, changes in product lines or rising costs that are expected to have a significant impact to cash flows from operations, although uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic could still significantly impact one or more of these items.

Funds received as premium payments and deposits that are not used for liquidity requirements are generally invested in bonds and commercial mortgages. Funds are invested with the intent that income from the investments and proceeds from the maturities will meet our ongoing cash flow needs. We historically have not had to liquidate invested assets in order to cover cash flow needs. Our investment portfolio washas been significantly impacted by volatility associated with COVID-19 during 2020.COVID-19. We believe our portfolio of highly liquid bonds, available-for-sale investment securities, and equity securities, coupled with our ability to borrow funds through the FHLB, are sufficient to meet future liquidity needs as necessary.

As a result of the economic impact associated with COVID-19, American National originally grantedmodified 93 loan modificationsloans with a total balance of $1.6 billion during the second and third quarters of 2020 with a total balance of $1.6 billion2020. These modifications were in the form of forbearance of principal and interest payments for up to six months, extensions of maturity dates, and/or provisions for interest only payments. ModificationsThe modifications were primarily related to our loans to hotels, retail and parking operations. Due to the ongoing economic stress brought on by the pandemic, we made additional modifications in the first quarter of 2021 for 2431 of these loans with a total balance of $633.6$708.6 million whichwere made in the first and second quarters of 2021. These additional modifications extended the forbearance of principal and interest payments and interest only provisions but also includedwith a requirement for the payment of at least 20% of the total interest due during the extended modification period. The modified loans had an aggregate deferred interest of $17.0$13.6 million as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

The Company holds collateral of $251.9$257.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2021 to offset exposure from its derivative counterparties. Cash flows associated with collateral received from counterparties change as the market value of the underlying derivative contract changes.

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment position increaseddecreased from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2020 to $1.7$1.3 billion at March 31,June 30, 2021. The increasedecrease primarily relates to a decrease in cash is a result of reduced investment in long-term securities due to market uncertainty.commercial paper.

A downgrade or a potential downgrade in our financial strength ratings could result in a loss of business and could adversely affect our cash flows from operations.

Statutory Capital and Surplus and Risk-based Capital

Statutory capital and surplus is the capital of our insurance companies reported in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance departments. RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level of at least 200% of the authorized control level RBC are required to take certain actions. At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ANICO’s statutory capital and surplus was $3.7$3.8 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. ANICO and each of our other insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 above 200% of the authorized control level, except for ANPAC Louisiana Insurance Company ("ANPLA").

At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ANPLA's statutory capital and surplus was $63.5$63.4 million and $68.5 million respectively, which resulted in an RBC level of 179% and 194% of the authorized control level, respectively.company action level. This decrease in RBC of ANPLA is primarily driven by an increase in homeowners catastrophe losses duringimpacting the operating results in 2021 and 2020, respectively.2020. We are actively managing our homeowners exposure of ANPLA, will continue to monitor the surplus levels and will be addressing rate adequacy through future planned rateunderwriting and underwritingrate actions.

The achievement of long-term growth will require growth in our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory capital and surplus. Our subsidiaries may obtain additional statutory capital through various sources, such as retained statutory earnings or equity contributions from us.

Contractual Obligations

Our future cash payments associated with claims and claims adjustment expenses, life, annuity and disability obligations, contractual obligations pursuant to operating leases for office space and equipment, and notes payable have not materially changed since December 31, 2020. We expect to have the capacity to pay our obligations as they come due.

At March 31,On April 28, 2021, the Company had a $250 millionpaid in full an advance outstanding with Federal Home Loan Bank. On April 28, 2021, the advance was paid in full. It is expected that the Company will have sufficient cash flow to meet its current lending commitments. For additional details see Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies and Note 18, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have off-balance sheet arrangements relating to third-party marketing operation bank loans as discussed in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We could be exposed to a liability for these loans, which are supported by the cash value of the underlying insurance contracts. The cash value of the life insurance policies is designed to always equal or exceed the balance of the loans. Accordingly, management does not foresee any material loss related to these arrangements.
