Any warrant not exercised prior to DTCC’s cutoff time on April 28, 2023, will expire and become void, and the holder will not receive any shares of AFG common stock.

Holders of warrants who wish to exercise their warrants should contact the broker or custodian through which they hold their warrants for instructions.
