Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On January 10, 2025, American National Group Inc. (the “Company”) closed its previously announced public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 12,000,000 depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of the Company’s 7.375% Series D Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). The Depositary Shares were sold in a public offering pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281155). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full the 5.95% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the related depositary shares in accordance with the terms thereof. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or the related depositary shares.
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a deposit agreement, dated January 10, 2025 (the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., collectively, as depositary (the “Depositary”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as registrar and transfer agent, and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts (the “Depositary Receipts”) issued thereunder, a form of which is included therein (the “Form of Depositary Receipt”). The Deposit Agreement provides for the deposit of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock from time to time with the Depositary and for the issuance of Depositary Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares in respect of the deposited Series D Preferred Stock.
The foregoing description of the Deposit Agreement and Form of Depositary Receipt do not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Deposit Agreement and Form of Depositary Receipt and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Deposit Agreement and Form of Depositary Receipt, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
In connection with the Offering, on January 9, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”), including a certificate of designations for the Series D Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Certificate of Amendment”), to establish the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Amendment became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
Under the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, shares of its common stock or any shares of the Company that rank junior to, or on parity with, the Series D Preferred Stock will be subject to certain restrictions in the event that the Company does not declare and pay (or set aside) dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock for the last preceding dividend period. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Certificate of Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
