* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Includes restricted stock.
(2) The option entitles the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock of Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "F&G Subsidiary"), over the exercise price of the option. It is expected that the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock of the F&G Subsidiary will be derived from the value of the Common Stock of the Issuer. The option became exercisable as to 1,526 shares on December 31, 2013 and will become exercisable as to 1,526 shares on December 31, 2014 and 1,526 shares on December 31, 2015. As a result of the exercise, the reporting person became entitled to receive for each exercised option a cash payment of $50.48 per option.
(3) Each restricted stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Class B Common Stock of the F&G Subsidiary. Each restricted stock unit will be settled upon vesting in cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock of the F&G Subsidiary. It is expected that the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock of the F&G Subsidiary will be derived from the value of the Common Stock of the Issuer. 674 restricted stock units will vest on December 31, 2014 and 673 restricted stock units will vest on December 31, 2015.
(4) The option vests in three equal annual installments on December 12, 2014, 2015 and 2016, subject to continued employment through such date.
