Shareholders

3

Three shareholders are currently on record for AMERICAN FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing.

The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 14.5% — the largest recorded stake — followed by SCHWAB STRATEGIC TRUST-Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF at 3.9%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes.

2 shareholders shown are companies, so the ownership chain continues above this level for those holdings; the other 1 is recorded as direct individual holder, though the record carries no UBO/PSC flag confirming beneficial-owner status.

Group Structure

AMERICAN FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 27 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 2 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 27 subsidiaries span United States, Bermuda jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Seven of the 27 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
