Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 15, 2017, Fidelity & Guaranty Life, a Delaware corporation (NYSE:FGL, the “Company”), issued a press release announcing the expiration and final results of the solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) by Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc. (“FGLH”) from holders of FGLH’s 6.375% Senior notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”). A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Forward-Looking Statements
The press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ from FGLH’s expectations, estimates or projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (i) the Proposed Amendments and the operativeness of the A&R Indenture giving effect thereto, (ii) the expected payment of the Consent Consideration, and (iii) the consummation of the Acquisition of FGL. Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of factors including: changed market conditions, failure to satisfy the conditions for completing the Acquisition or consummating the Consent Solicitation and other factors listed under “Forward-Looking Statements” in the Consent Solicitation Statement. Except as may be required by law, FGLH does not intend to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions or future events.
