2023 Annual Report of the Company

We have enclosed our 2023 Annual Report with this Proxy Statement. The 2023 Annual Report is included for informational purposes and not as a means of soliciting your proxy. The 2023 Annual Report and financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are available atwww.aoreltd.comby clicking on "Financial Information".

Mail Date

This Proxy Statement, and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy, are first being mailed to members on or about May 6, 2024.

Our Voting Securities

The record date for our Annual Meeting is April 22, 2022 (hereinafter the "Record Date"). Pursuant to the Company's Bye-laws, only registered holders of common shares of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 46,979 of our common shares (net of treasury shares held by the Company) were issued. The common shares are our only class of equity securities in issue and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

1

Number of Votes for each Common Share

In general, you have one vote for each common share owned at the Record Date. The following exceptions may apply:

Reduction or Increase of Voting Power Under our Bye-laws

Under our Bye-laws, if you are a U.S. member who controls, directly, indirectly or constructively, as described in our Bye-laws, more than 9.9% of our common shares, your total voting power will be reduced to 9.9% of the total voting power of our common shares. The determination of control is made under the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). These provisions include certain attribution or "constructive ownership" rules under which you may be treated as owning shares that are owned by other persons or entities. In addition, the AOG Board may otherwise limit your voting rights if the AOG Board believes it is necessary to do so to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences.

If the voting power of any of our members is reduced under our Bye-laws, this reduction may increase another member's voting power to more than 9.9%. In this case, our Bye-laws would repeatedly reduce the voting power of all affected members until no U.S. member, has voting power of more than 9.9%. If we believe you are a U.S. member who may control more than 9.9% of our common shares, we may ask you to provide us with additional information so that we can verify your ownership and determine if your voting power needs to be reduced. We may disregard the votes of any member who fails to respond to a request for further information or who, in our judgment, submits incomplete or inaccurate information. In addition, because we may not know about your ownership, we request that you contact us promptly if you believe you may control more than 9.9% of the common shares. When you submit your proxy, we will consider the submission confirmation that, to your knowledge, you do not control, and you are not acting on behalf of a member who controls, more than 9.9% of our common shares.

Quorum Requirement

The presence of two (2) or more persons, representing in person or by proxy shares carrying more than 50% of the voting power of our issued common shares as of the Record Date, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Assuming that a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the common shares voted at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will be required to approve each of the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting

Pursuant to our Bye-laws, only members that are registered in our register of members as of the Record Date ("Registered Members") are entitled to attend this meeting. If you are a Registered Member and intend to attend and exercise your right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must request an admission ticket in advance. Your request must be received no later than May 31, 2024. You can request an admission ticket by sending a request to the Company addressed to Assistant Secretary, American Overseas Group Limited, Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, HM 11 Bermuda. Upon confirmation that you are a Registered Member as of the Record Date, an admission ticket will be sent to you for your use at the meeting. All attendees will be required to present the admission ticket and a valid, government-issued photo identification (e.g. driver's license or passport) to enter the meeting.

Seating at the Annual Meeting will begin at 10:45 a.m. local time. Prior to entering the meeting, all bags will be subject to search and all persons may be subject to a metal detector and/or hand wand search. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting. The security procedures may require additional time, so please plan accordingly. We suggest arriving at least 45 minutes early. Registration will close ten minutes before the meeting begins. If you do not provide an admission ticket and valid, government-issuedphoto identification or do not comply with the other registration and security procedures described above, you will not be admitted to the Annual Meeting. The Company reserves the right to remove persons from the Annual Meeting who disrupt the meeting or who do not comply with the rules and procedures for the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

Possible travel restrictions may apply for travelers arriving in the UK from other countries. Members are encouraged to confirm round trip requirements or restrictions prior to their departure.

Voting Methods

If you are a Registered Member, you may exercise your vote by completing, signing and returning by mail the enclosed form of proxy so that it is received at least 24 hours before the Annual Meeting, or in person at the Annual Meeting. When you exercise your vote by using the form of proxy, you are instructing another person to vote your shares for you at the Annual Meeting in the manner that you indicate. These persons, called proxies, are named on your proxy card. If you have signed but have not provided instructions in the proxy, your shares will be voted FOR each of the proposals described in this Proxy Statement and set forth on the form of proxy, and in accordance with the proxy holder's discretion as to any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

If, like many members, you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in "street name," meaning that you hold your shares through a bank, broker, nominee or other institution, you must instruct that institution how to vote your shares. Such an institution will usually provide you with an appropriate voting instruction form when it sends you this Proxy Statement.

Revocation of Proxy

If you are a Registered Member and you use the enclosed form of proxy, you can revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions in one of these ways:

  1. By delivering another proxy dated after your prior proxy no less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting to the Assistant Secretary of the Company at the address above;
  2. By attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person; or
  3. By delivering a written notice of revocation of your proxy no less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting to the Assistant Secretary of the Company at the address above.

If you are a beneficial owner, you should contact the institution that holds your shares directly to change your voting instructions.

Voting in Person

If you are a Registered Member, you may vote your shares in person even if you have returned a proxy. If you choose to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, please bring your admission ticket, the enclosed proxy card and proof of identification. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you submit your vote in advance, as described above, so that your vote will be counted if you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions

If you are a Registered Member and abstain from voting on a proposal, your vote will not count as a vote cast, but the abstention will be represented at the Annual Meeting and will count toward establishing a quorum.

If you are a Registered Member and you do not vote, your shares will not be represented at the Annual Meeting and will not affect the outcome of our proposals. If you are a Registered Member and return a blank but signed proxy card, your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the AOG Board, which is FOR Proposals 1 and 2. This will generally also be the case for beneficial owners, as explained in more detail below.

3

Broker non-votes

If you are a beneficial owner and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, your broker may have discretionary authority to vote your shares for you on certain proposals that are considered routine matters. Brokers who have discretionary authority generally vote in the manner recommended by the AOG Board. When a client does not provide voting instructions for non-routine matters that may not be voted by the broker, the missing votes are called broker non-votes. If broker non-votes occur at the Annual Meeting, the shares in this category will count toward the establishment of a quorum, but the broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of those proposals on which the broker does not or cannot vote.
