ANAT offers long-dated reset subordinated notes to redeem Series B preferreds
American National Group Inc. is offering fixed-rate reset junior subordinated notes due December 1, 2055. The Notes pay a fixed rate until December 1, 2030 and thereafter reset each Reset Period to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus a fixed spread, subject to a floor equal to the initial rate. Interest is payable semi-annually beginning December 1, 2025. The Issuer may defer interest payments for one or more Optional Deferral Periods up to five consecutive years, during which deferred interest accrues and may compound. The Notes are unsecured, rank junior to all Senior Indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to liabilities of subsidiaries. Net proceeds are intended to redeem Series B Preferred Stock ($300 million liquidation preference outstanding) and any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes. No public market or exchange listing is planned and the offering involves substantial risks described in "Risk Factors."
Positive
- Proceeds earmarked to redeem Series B Preferred Stock, which may lower preferred dividend obligations at the holding company.
- Initial fixed coupon through December 1, 2030 provides predictable cash interest early in the term.
- Reset feature ties long-term coupons to Five-year U.S. Treasury rates plus a spread, aligning future coupon with market rates while including a floor.
Negative
- Interest can be deferred for one or more periods up to five consecutive years, reducing current cash returns and increasing reinvestment and tax complexity for holders.
- Subordination risk: Notes rank junior to substantial Senior Indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to large subsidiary liabilities, increasing recovery risk in insolvency.
- No planned listing and no established market for the Notes, which may impair liquidity and price discovery.
- Limited covenants in the Indenture and wide issuer discretion to incur additional senior or pari passu debt, offering weak contractual protections to noteholders.
Insights
TL;DR: Long-dated subordinated notes offer flexibility to issuer but carry credit and liquidity risks and optional deferral features.
The structure provides the issuer with long-term capital and flexibility to defer interest for extended periods, which helps preserve cash under stress. The reset to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus a spread aligns coupon with market rates after the initial fixed period but includes a floor. However, the notes are junior to substantial Senior Indebtedness ($2,869 million unsecured/unsubordinated and $84 million subordinated as of June 30, 2025) and are effectively subordinated to $113,259 million of subsidiary liabilities, increasing recovery risk in insolvency. Lack of planned listing and potential for lengthy interest deferral increase liquidity and valuation uncertainty for investors. The intended use to redeem $300 million Series B preferred shares may reduce preferred dividend burden but preserves leverage at the holding company level.
TL;DR: Issuer governance favors flexibility; holders face limited covenant protection and subordinated claims in distress.
The Indenture grants broad issuer discretion (including multiple five-year deferral periods) and contains limited affirmative covenants, leaving holders without customary protections such as financial covenants or lien restrictions. The notes are unsecured and not guaranteed by subsidiaries, and payment restrictions during deferral periods limit shareholder distributions, but otherwise issuer and affiliates retain wide latitude for transactions and additional debt issuance. These features concentrate operational and credit risk with holders and reduce contractual recourse in adverse scenarios.
