Shareholder Engagement We maintain an ongoing, proactive outreach effort with our shareholders. Throughout the year, members of our Investor Relations team and our business leaders, including AFG’s Co-CEOs, President and CFO, as well as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Great American Insurance Group, engage with our shareholders to help increase their understanding of our business and strategy and to remain well-informed regarding their perspectives on a wide variety of topics. Management regularly engages with investors by participating in industry conferences. We also meet in person, virtually through online meetings and by telephone with shareholders at other times throughout the year to answer questions and solicit input on all matters of shareholder interest, including strategic, financial, governance and sustainability. We believe our engagement with shareholders has been productive and provides an open exchange of ideas and perspectives.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Corporate Governance Annual Board Evaluation The Corporate Governance Committee oversees the Company’s annual Board evaluation process, which is designed to elicit candid feedback and recommendations from the directors that will improve the effectiveness of the Board and each of its committees. The Corporate Governance Committee determines the manner of conducting Board evaluations annually. In recent years, evaluations have consisted of interviews of Board members, in each case conducted by an outside third party. These interviews cover a broad range of topics, including Board and Committee functioning, succession planning, governance and strategy, and provide each director the opportunity to provide feedback on their fellow directors. The results of the evaluation are compiled by the outside third party and discussed with the committees and with the full Board.
