Midwest Differentiators vs. Life & Annuity Industry Life and Annuity Fronting Model Capital efficient model with growth supported primarily by reinsurance capital (i.e. non-dilutive), complemented by opportunistic retention at American Life Limited risk retention through reinsurance with third-party reinsurers, resulting in locked-in fee revenue for Midwest Ancillary Services Vertically integrated, third-party service businesses built around core life and annuity fronting model Opportunity to leverage platform using valuable cross disciplinary intellectual property in industry we believe is ripe for disruption Unique Growth Opportunity Operating successfully on a small scale in a large addressable market Embedded operational leverage with predominantly fixed cost base and low headcount 1 2 3

American Life Reinsurance Model Benefits of Reinsurance: Reduced Balance Sheet Risk: Reinsurers assume the performance risk on both assets and liabilities (i.e. financial risk), in addition to a large portion of the associated capital charges, allowing Midwest to generate ceding commissions that are not sensitive to market outcomes. Capital Efficient: “Renting” capital via reinsurers allows Midwest to grow written premium and earnings with minimal new equity issuance and maximizing earnings per share. Fee for Service Business Model: Midwest receives locked-in revenue on policies ceded to reinsurers via upfront payment of ceding commission while achieving recurring revenue through asset management services and administration of the policies. Developed Market with Multiple Channels to Access Capital: Established market of traditional reinsurers, capital markets, and asset manager / private equity sponsored reinsurers allowing Midwest to access the optimal cost of capital for its insurance products. American Life uses reinsurance as its primary form of capital to support its growth and to bear the financial risk associated with its insurance products.

Midwest has vertically integrated third-party services into its core life and annuity fronting platform. In doing so, Midwest has both: Addressed its own demand for high-quality, cost-effective, technology-oriented services not readily available in the marketplace; and Created a significant opportunity to penetrate large addressable markets dominated by legacy competitors. Midwest’s licensed distribution management, policy administration, agent and customer engagement solution for the life and annuity industry Developed when it could not find a suitable end-to-end solution for even basic life and annuity products 1,600+ policies issued and administered in 2019 Ancillary Services Midwest’s SEC registered investment advisor offering comprehensive asset liability management service to American Life and other insurers Filling a market gap between sophisticated alternative asset managers and the unique investment constraints facing insurance companies $200+ million in AUM growth in 2019

Technology & Data Midwest is one of the few technology and data focused insurance companies whose most senior executives have deep experience in both insurance and technology. Differentiation vs. Other Insurers: Unburdened by the scale and legacy systems facing other insurers, we believe Midwest is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the insurance technology opportunity. Differentiation vs. InsurTech Companies: By owning and controlling its insurance carrier, Midwest has greater control of its business than pure-play technology and service providers. Speed to Market: Midwest is focused on leveraging its technology solutions to provide end-to-end policy administration capabilities. Long-term Value: Leveraging internal industry expertise and American Life, Midwest is developing proprietary technology and services that aim to reduce cost and increase customer value. Going forward these solutions may be offered to third-party customers.

V. Appendix A: Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions While management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, they are not intended to replace GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because they may not calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner as we do. The following discusses the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by Midwest Holding Inc. Non-GAAP Measures: Direct Written Premium are the amounts we charge to insureds in exchange for coverage provided in accordance with the terms of insurance contracts. These amounts exclude the impact of all reinsurance premiums, either assumed or ceded. Our direct written premium statistics include deposits for multi-year guaranteed annuities (“MYGAs”) and fixed index annuities (“FIAs”) and align with direct written premium under Statutory Accounting Principals (SAP). Direct written premium excludes the effects of transactions executed in prior years. A Gross Ceding Commission is the fee paid by a reinsurance company to us to cover our administrative costs, underwriting, and business acquisition expenses and lost revenue premium funds. Reinsurance is a method we use significantly in our business to spread the risk of underwriting policies by ceding substantially all of our insurance policies to other companies. Thus, we pass part or all of our risks from our insurance policy portfolio to a reinsurance firm. Adjusted Gross Ceding Commission is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance of our business. Since we cede all or substantially all of our direct premium written, we rely on the commission paid to us by the assuming reinsurers to provide revenues. It normalizes the effects of retroactive reinsurance transactions to reflect the receipt of gross ceding commissions as and when direct premium was originally written. Adjusted gross ceding commission excludes the effects of transactions executed in prior years. Company Overhead is based on salaries and benefits and other operating expenses, but it excludes depreciation and amortization, interest expense, any stock dividends, interest paid on ceding commissions, and commission expenses netted against capitalized deferred commissions which are included in other operating expenses. It is therefore a non-GAAP measure. We believe company overhead as we use it is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. Earnings on Capital is a non-GAAP economic measure used to calculate the net investment income realized by Midwest on the cash and investments held in its general account.
