Key Points

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa and NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athene Holding Ltd (“Athene”) and Imran Siddiqui today jointly announce that they have resolved the legal proceedings commenced by Athene against Mr. Siddiqui and Caldera Holdings Limited in May 2018 in the Supreme Court of Bermuda. As part of this resolution, Mr. Siddiqui agreed to make the following statement:

“Athene has compromised its claim with Mr Siddiqui and Caldera Holdings Limited. The terms of settlement are confidential.

However, Mr Siddiqui has agreed as part of that agreement to acknowledge that in 2016 and 2017, he sent and received documents which contained information which was confidential to Athene in connection with the establishment of Caldera, a competitive company he was trying to set up.

Mr Siddiqui acknowledges that, in behaving in this way, he breached fiduciary duties which he owed to Athene. Mr Siddiqui did not think that at the time, but on reflection he now acknowledges that he should have known that sending and receiving the documents that he did was a breach of his obligations.”

The parties will not comment further on this matter.


Risks

  • The involvement of key personnel in legal controversies may raise governance and reputational risks for Athene.
  • Potential competitive risk posed by Caldera Holdings, a company linked to the breach of fiduciary duties.
  • Uncertain financial impact due to undisclosed settlement terms might affect investor sentiment.
