Exhibit 99.1
SUMMARY
Unless the context otherwise indicates or requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company,” as used in this Exhibit 99.1, refer, for periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination (as defined below), to FGL (as defined below) and its subsidiaries and, for periods upon or after completion of the Business Combination, to Parent (as defined below) and its subsidiaries, including CF Bermuda Holding Limited, a Bermuda exempted limited liability company (“CF Bermuda”)_ the issuer of the notes offered hereby and its subsidiaries. Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc. (the “issuer”) operates primarily through Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company (“FGLIC”), which is domiciled in Iowa and was incorporated in Maryland in 1959, and also through FGLIC’s subsidiary, Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company of New York (“FGLICNY”).
As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, Parent is the acquirer and FGL is the acquired party and accounting predecessor. Our financial statement presentation includes the financial statements of FGL and its subsidiaries as “Predecessor” for the periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination and FGL Holdings, including the consolidation of FGL and its subsidiaries, as “Successor” for periods from and after the closing of the Business Combination. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, FGL was merged with and into Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “issuer” or “FGLH”), with the issuer continuing as the surviving entity.
FGL Holdings (the “Parent”), formerly known as CF Corporation (“CF Corp.”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was originally incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 26, 2016 as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Prior to November 30, 2017, CF Corp. was a shell company with no operations. On November 30, 2017, CF Corp. consummated the acquisition of Fidelity & Guaranty Life, a Delaware corporation (“FGL”) and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 24, 2017, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, CF Corp. changed its name to “FGL Holdings.” Its trading symbols were historically quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “CFCOU,” “CFCO” and “CFCOW,” respectively. On December 1, 2017, Parent’s ordinary shares and warrants began trading on the NYSE under the symbols “FG” and “FG WS,” respectively.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, FGLIC entered into an investment management agreement (the “FGLIC Investment Management Agreement”) with Blackstone ISG-I Advisors L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“BISGA”), and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”). FGLIC appointed BISGA as investment manager (“Investment Manager”) of FGLIC’s general account including the assets underlying the modified coinsurance agreement entered into with F&G Re (collectively, the “FGL Account”). BISGA has discretionary authority to manage the investment and reinvestment of the funds and assets of the FGL Account in accordance with the investment guidelines specified in the FGLIC Investment Management Agreement.
