BCA Elevate Hypothetical Illustration A single premium fixed indexed deferred annuity Owner/Annuitant: Age/Gender: d Client 50/Male Issue State: Arizona Tax Qualification: Qualified Non-Spouse Inherited IRA Initial Premium Amount: $500,000 Illustration Explanation Product Details The BalancedAllocation Strategy Option F: Merrill Lynch RPM Index (no fee) Index Allocation Percentage 1 : 100% Initial Annual Strategy Rider Charge Rate: 0.00% Additional Benefits: BalancedAllocation Lifetime Rider (BALIR) Initial Annual Rider Charge Rate: 1.00% BALIR Base Crediting Option: SGO MAX Balanced Allocation Percentage: 100% BALIR Option for Lifetime : Level Lifetime Withdrawal Type: Single Base Bonus: $50,000 Annuitant's age at first Lifetime Withdrawal: 65 First Lifetime Withdrawal: $50,125.60 (Annual) What does this annuity illustration tell you? To help explain how this product works, this illustration shows annuity contract values under the following scenarios: guaranteed annuity contract values that show minimum values, non-guaranteed annuity contract values based on the historical index performance over the Specified Period (12/31/2002-12/31/2016) and non-guaranteed annuity contract values based on the historical index performance of the most recent 10 years, all of which apply rates and rider charges that are current as of 03/29/2017. The illustration also includes hypothetical annuity contract values using the following index return scenarios: the most recent 10-years, the highest 10-year index movement out of the last 14 years, and the lowest 10-year index movement out of the last 14 years. See page 14 for specified time periods. The hypothetical contract values are calculated based on historical index prices and assume the index will repeat historical performance and that the annuity's current non-guaranteed elements will not change. It is likely that the index will not repeat historical performance, the non-guaranteed elements will change, and actual values will be higher or lower than those in this illustration. However, the actual values will not be less than the minimum guarantees. The values in this illustration are not guarantees or even estimates of the amounts you can expect to receive. 1 The index element is linked to the performance of the Merrill Lynch RPM Index TM.

Historical Index Movement Comparison Historical Index Movement Comparison - Most Recent 10, Highest, and Lowest Periods The following comparison chart is intended to reflect the Accumulation based upon the historical performance of the index under three different scenarios, as described below. This chart assumes current rider charges and current rates as shown on page 3 of this illustration. This chart assumes no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 Contract Years. The values shown are not guaranteed; actual results may be higher or lower. Contract Year For the Most Recent 10 scenario, the indexed-based interest rate and Accumulation are calculated to reflect the historical performance of the index for the most recent 10 calendar year period. Assumed Interest Rate Accumulation The Highest index scenario reflects the historical performance of the index for a continuous period of 10 years out of the last 14 years that would result in the most index value growth. Assumed Interest Rate Accumulation The Lowest index scenario reflects the historical performance of the index for a continuous period of 10 years out of the last 14 years that would result in the least index value growth.

Product Information BalancedAllocation Strategy Options The patented BalancedAllocation Strategy allows you to choose from different options. These options determine your interest using a formula combining an index allocation and declared rate allocation. The index element is linked to the performance of a market index or blend of indices. The declared rate is based on an interest rate set by the Company. The appreciation if any, from the declared rate allocation plus the index allocation if any, are added together to determine the amount of Interest Earnings under the strategy. This patented BalancedAllocation Strategy offers you the potential for better long-term accumulation, particularly in periods of low interest rates. It s important to note that that your contract may apply an Annual Strategy Rider Charge, if applicable, by multiplying the Accumulation and a strategy charge rate on every Contract Anniversary. A portion of that charge (1/12th) is deducted from the Contract s Accumulation at the beginning of every month. Strategy charge rates are set at contract issue and can change for each renewal Term. Premium Protection With the, the premium protection feature (referred to as the Return of Premium Guarantee Amount in the Contract) ensures that any strategy and/or optional rider charges in your Contract will never result in you getting back less than the Premium paid, plus any applicable Premium Bonus, minus any, provided the contract is not surrendered during the Withdrawal Charge period and no early are taken in excess of your Contract s Free Withdrawal amount. Therefore, if the Contract is surrendered before the Withdrawal Charge period or if early are taken in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount, you could receive less than your original premium. Free The allows you to access your money should the need arise. You may withdraw 5% of your Accumulation during the first 12 months. Thereafter, you may withdraw up to 10% of your Accumulation each subsequent 12-month period. No Traditional Caps There are no traditional caps placed on the upside earnings potential of the BalancedAllocation Strategy. Although the has no traditional cap on indexed earnings, the Index Allocation Percentages are determined at the beginning of each 2- year term by the Athene Annuity and Life Company. BalancedAllocation Lifetime Rider The BALIR is an optional living benefit rider that offers a lifetime income stream, with flexibility that allows you to control when it starts and stops. The BALIR provides a minimum guaranteed Base that is protected from market volatility and grows during the Accumulation Years based on the Base Crediting Option you elect. The growth in the Base stops once you elect your first Lifetime Withdrawal. You have a choice of three Base Crediting Options that address retirement risks by offering guaranteed fixed interest (BALIR FGO) or a combination that stacks interest tied in part to an index or blend of indices on top of a fixed interest rate, known as BALIR SGO MAX or AGO. It is used to determine your Lifetime. It is not an amount that has a cash value, or surrender value that can be paid out to you in a lump sum. The Phase of the rider starts when you begin your Lifetime. Your Lifetime are determined by your age and the income option you elect. Generally, the longer you wait to take income the greater your Lifetime will be. The charge for this rider, if applicable, is deducted from the Accumulation and the Minimum Guaranteed Contract, in applicable states, at the beginning of every month until termination of the rider at a rate of 1/12th of the Rider Charge. This charge is calculated at the beginning of every Contract Year as the Base at that time multiplied by the Annual Rider Charge Rate. If you choose to extend the Accumulation Years, this rider charge will increase on the Contract Anniversary at the end of the Initial Accumulation Years. This increase equals the number of years extended 1 Interest earned, if any, is credited on Term End Date. The strategy rider charge, if applicable, is taken out of the Accumulation monthly. Other optional rider charges are taken out of the Accumulation monthly, the EDB Crediting Base if applicable and the Minimum Guaranteed Contract, in applicable states.

Definition of Terms Accumulation Initial Premium Amount plus interest credited, minus withdrawals and any applicable charges Annuitization Converting the Contract into a series of periodic payments on the Annuity Date. Once the Contract is annuitized, the amount or frequency of the annuity payments cannot be stopped or modified. Annuity Date The date annuity payments are to begin Assumed Interest Rate A hypothetical interest rate credited to the annuity s Accumulation. The rate will vary based on different historical scenarios. Assumed Issue Date The effective date that reflects the Company s current rates as of that day Balanced Allocation The greater of the Accumulation plus any interest for the current Term or the Return of Premium Guarantee Amount. Base Death Benefit Equal to the greater of the Cash Surrender or the Balanced Allocation. The amount paid to the beneficiaries upon the death of the annuitant. Beginning of Year Age The beginning of year age(s) is the age(s) at the beginning of the Contract Cash Surrender The greater of the Accumulation, adjusted for any withdrawals, applicable charges and Market Adjustments, the Minimum Guaranteed Contract or the Return of Premium Guarantee Amount which is zero until the end of the 12th Contract Year. Contract Year Contract Years are determined from the Assumed Issue Date. (For example, if the Contract s Assumed Issue Date is January 10, 2014, the first Contract Year ends January 9, 2015.) Cumulative Year over year sum of Free Partial, Required Minimum Distributions, Lifetime and Confinement Benefit, if applicable Declared Rate Allocation Percentage The component of the interest crediting calculation that is linked to a set declared rate determined by the Company End of Year Age The end of year age(s) is the age(s) at the beginning of the Contract, plus the number of Contract Years. Base The Initial Premium Amount, plus interest credited, which is used to determine the BALIR Lifetime. It is not an amount that has a cash value or surrender value that can be paid out to you in a lump sum. Index Allocation Percentage The component of the interest crediting calculation that is linked to the market index performance Initial Premium Amount The amount paid for the annuity Lifetime The annual stream of income for life, up to a maximum allowable amount. Minimum Guaranteed Contract The minimum value of the Contract, required by law, while the Contract is in-force. Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) The minimum amounts required by the Internal Revenue Code that a tax qualified Contract owner must withdraw annually. Specified Period (12/31/2002-12/31/2016) - The interest crediting rate assumed for the projected, non-guaranteed Accumulated column is based on the Contract s strategy option selected, the current rates of the strategy selected, and the historical movement of any applicable indices including dividends where applicable, then averaged over the period 12/31/2002-12/31/2016. The Merrill Lynch RPM Index TM (MLRPM) inception date is 03/01/2016. This scenario illustrates both pre-inception performance data of the Index, as provided by Merrill Lynch, based on the hypothetical closing index data from 12/31/2002 through 02/29/2016 and actual performance data from the inception date. Term The length of time, expressed in whole years, between the crediting of interest earnings. Year Ending Each 12-month period of time starting from the Assumed Issue Date. Page 17 of 21 pages

Market Adjustment The Potential Impact of a Market Adjustment (MVA) on Cash Surrender s Positive Sample Scenario Shows the effect of a MVA on the hypothetical Cash Surrender if the interest rate DECREASES 0.5% each year from the assumed initial interest rate. Negative Sample Scenario Shows the effect of a MVA on the hypothetical Cash Surrender if the interest rate INCREASES 0.5% each year from the assumed initial interest rate. Market Adjustment (MVA) When you make a withdrawal in excess of the free amount during the annuity s withdrawal charge period, the amount you receive may be increased or decreased by a Market Adjustment (MVA). If the 10 Year Point on the A Rated US Bloomberg Fair Curve interest rates are higher than when you purchased your annuity, the MVA is negative. In other words, an additional amount will be deducted from your annuity. Conversely, if 10 Year Point on the A Rated US Bloomberg Fair Curve interest rates are lower than when you purchased an annuity, the MVA is positive. This means that money will be added to your annuity, which reduces the withdrawal charge. The MVA has no effect on the death benefit. Withdrawal Charges, Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustments and MVA are never applied to withdrawals from an IRA or qualified contract taken to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for that contract.

Additional Information BCA Elevate Illustration Only This is an illustration only and designed to help you better understand how the annuity product you are considering works and might look in the future under various conditions. This illustration is not intended to indicate actual performance nor predict future results. The hypothetical, non-guaranteed values shown are calculated in reference to the historical performance of the index as indicated. This illustration assumes current allocation option percentages and other nonguaranteed rates as of the Assumed Issue Date. These rates are subject to change. It is likely that the index will, in fact, not repeat historical performance and that non-guaranteed elements will change over time. This means that actual nonguaranteed values may be higher or lower than those shown in this illustration. Please refer to the Disclosure Summary document for the BalancedChoice Annuity Elevate 12, and for the BalancedAllocation Lifetime Rider, if elected, that must accompany this illustration for more details. Also refer to the inserts that describe the features and limitations of any additional riders including the Premium Bonus Rider and FamilyEndowment Rider (referred to in the Contract as the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.) The BalancedChoice Annuity Elevate [ANN12 (04/15), ANN08 (04/15) and ANN10 (04/15) or state variation] with the BalancedAllocation Strategy (ANNBAS (04/15) or state variation), is a fixed indexed annuity; the FamilyEndowment Rider [DBR (04/15), BDBR (04/15) and SUDBR (04/15) or state variation] and the BalancedAllocation Lifetime Rider (ANNIR (04/15) or state variation), are optional riders from which charges are deducted. They are issued by Athene Annuity and Life Company, West Des Moines, IA. Product features, limitations and availability vary by state. Not a Stock Market Investment Fixed indexed annuities are not stock market investments and do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments. Market indices do not include dividends paid on the underlying stocks, and therefore do not reflect the total return of the underlying stocks; neither a market index nor any market-indexed annuity is comparable to a direct investment in the equity markets. Indexed annuities do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments. When you purchase the, you are not directly investing in a stock market index. Not FDIC Insured Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the BalancedChoice Annuity Elevate 12 and the BalancedAllocation Lifetime Rider (BALIR). Guarantees provided by annuities are subject to the financial strength of the issuing insurance company; not guaranteed by any bank or the FDIC. The BALIR and the are issued and backed by the financial strength of Athene Annuity and Life Company, West Des Moines, IA and are not guaranteed by any bank or the FDIC. Basic Tax Information Under current tax law, annuities provide the benefit of tax deferred accumulation. This means that as the Accumulation of your Contract grows, you do not have to pay income tax on the interest credited to the contract until it is withdrawn or paid out as a death benefit. It is important that you recognize that the effect of income taxes, or any applicable tax penalties, are not reflected in the values shown in this illustration. Any applicable taxes or penalties would reduce the net amount that you actually receive. When you surrender your contract or take a Withdrawal from your contract you may be subject to federal and state income taxes on some or all of the amount received. Generally, the tax treatment of your annuity contract will depend on a variety of factors, including whether your contract is comprised of non-qualified or qualified funds. A Death Benefit paid under the Contract is generally subject to income taxes in the same way that a withdrawal or surrender would be subject to income taxes during your life. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of these rules to your specific situation. The information discussed in this and the next section is general in nature and should not be construed in any way as tax advice. Neither Athene Annuity & Life Company nor its agents or employees are authorized to provide tax advice. Non-Qualified vs. Qualified Contracts Non-Qualified For non-qualified contracts, withdrawals are generally subject to ordinary income tax to the extent of gain in the contract at the time of the withdrawal. This means DB# 3.4.109/SYS# Server v1.0.1411.54001 Page 19 of 21 pages

Additional Information (continued) that to the extent that interest has been credited to your contract, and not previously withdrawn, that portion of any distribution from your contract will be subject to ordinary income tax. In addition, if you have not attained the age of 59½ at the time of the withdrawal, a 10% tax penalty is applied to the taxable portion of that withdrawal. The 10% penalty is generally not applied to withdrawals occurring after the death of the original owner. However, if you convert your annuity Contract to a stream of payments on the Annuity Date, each payment generally will receive exclusion ratio tax treatment meaning that a portion of each payment will be taxed to the extent it represents gain in the contract, and a portion will be treated as a non-taxable recovery of your cost basis (generally the Premium paid) in your Contract. Qualified A qualified contract means that you are purchasing the annuity within a retirement account or plan, such as a traditional IRA or an employer sponsored retirement plan. Generally, the funds in this type of contract have been established with pretax dollars, money which has not been subjected to income taxes, although there may be a combination of pre-tax and after-tax dollars in such accounts. To the extent that the funds for a qualified contract have been made with pre-tax dollars, the entire amount of any withdrawal or death benefit will be subject to income taxes. In addition, if you have not attained the age of 59½ at the time of the withdrawal, a 10% tax penalty is applied to the taxable portion of that withdrawal. The 10% penalty is generally not applied to withdrawals occurring after the death of the original owner; however, the penalty may apply to distributions from a Roth IRA even after the death of the original owner. If you have a qualified contract, such as an IRA, the illustration may reflect Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). Such distributions generally must commence in the year following the year in which you turn age 70½. The calculation for any RMD amount indicated on this hypothetical illustration is based on the previous year s ending Accumulation, and does not take into consideration the value of benefits provided by any additional riders. Therefore, keep in mind that the RMD amount shown is a projected amount that could be higher or lower. If the actual RMD amount that you must withdraw is higher than the amount illustrated, the remaining Accumulation and Death Benefit amounts will be correspondingly lower. Purchasing an annuity within a retirement plan that provides tax deferral under the Internal Revenue Code results in no additional tax benefit. If you are purchasing an annuity to fund an IRA or Qualified plan, your purchase should be based on the annuity s features other than tax deferral.

Hypothetical Historical Index Movement Comparison Hypothetical Historical Index Movement Comparison - Most Recent 10, Highest, and Lowest Periods The following comparison chart is intended to reflect the hypothetical Lifetime based upon the hypothetical historical performance of the index under three different scenarios, as described below. This chart assumes current rider charges and current rates as shown on the accompanying base illustration and assumes those charges and rates stay constant over the time period reflected. This chart further assumes no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 Contract Years. The values shown are not guaranteed; actual results may be higher or lower; use of different assumptions could produce significantly different results. The Highest index scenario reflects the historical performance of the index for a continuous period of 10 years out of the last 14 years that would result in the most index value growth. Specified Period(s) Merrill Lynch RPM Index TM : 04/29/2003-04/29/2013 The Lowest index scenario reflects the historical performance of the index for a continuous period of 10 calendar years out of the last 14 years that would result in the least index value growth. Specified Period(s) Merrill Lynch RPM Index TM : 12/04/2006-12/04/2016 The Most Recent 10 index scenario reflects the historical performance of the index for the most recent 10 calendar year period.
