On February 13, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of American Financial Group, Inc. (“Company”) approved the 2026 Senior Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“New LTIC”). The New LTIC succeeds the former plan, the Senior Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, which was adopted on February 23, 2016 (“Former LTIC”).

The primary purpose of the New LTIC is to promote the Company’s long term success by attracting, retaining and motivating senior executive employees of the Company through competitive, performance-based cash compensation that aligns those employees’ and shareholders’ interests. The terms of the New LTIC are substantially similar to those of the Former LTIC. As such, under the New LTIC (as was the case under the Former LTIC), the Company may pay cash bonus awards based on the satisfaction of pre-established performance criteria determined by the Committee. No awards have been made under the New LTIC.

This description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the New LTIC, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

 

(d)  Exhibits.
