      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">Eligible employees of the Registrant are entitled to defer receipt of base salary and bonus compensation into the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Plan is intended to be unfunded for
        purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant, subject to the claims of its general creditors. The amount of compensation to be deferred by each
        participating eligible employee (individually, a &#8220;Participant&#8221; and collectively, the &#8220;Participants&#8221;) is determined in accordance with the Plan based on elections by each Participant.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>

        election under the Plan.&#160; A Participant may designate either a specified payment year as the time of payment or payment upon retirement, or a specified number of years following retirement, at the time the Participant elects to defer compensation.&#160;
        If a Participant elects a specified payment year, and the specified payment year occurs prior to the Participant&#8217;s separation from service for a reason other than retirement, death or disability, the payment will begin in January of the specified
        payment year.&#160; If the Participant elects payment upon retirement, the payment will begin in January of the year following retirement.&#160; If the Participant elects payment a certain number of years following retirement, the payment will begin in

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">A Participant who has a separation from service (other than retirement), dies, or becomes disabled shall have his or her account paid in a single lump sum in cash as soon as administratively reasonable after such
        separation from service (other than retirement), death, or disability, but in no event later than 90 days after such separation from service (other than retirement), death, or disability, provided the Participant does not have a right to designate
        the taxable year of payment.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">If the Participant elects a specified payment year, and the Participant has a separation from service that is a retirement, the payment will begin in January of the year of the specified payment year.&#160; If the
        Participant has elected payment upon retirement or a specified number of years following retirement, and the Participant has a separation from service that is a retirement, the payment will be in January of the year following retirement, or number
        of years following retirement, as the case may be.</div>

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">Ohio General Corporation Law Section 1701.13(E), allows indemnification by the Registrant to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any proceedings, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the
        Registrant, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, against expenses, including judgment and fines, if he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
        our best interests and, with respect to criminal actions, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.&#160; Similar provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, except that no
        indemnification shall be made in such cases when the person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct to the Registrant unless deemed otherwise by the court.&#160; Indemnifications are to be made by a majority vote of a quorum
        of disinterested directors or the written opinion of independent counsel or by the shareholders or by the court.&#160; The Registrant&#8217;s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations extends such indemnification and provides indemnification to any person who
        was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative,
        by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or member of a committee of the Registrant or that, being or having been such a director or officer of the Registrant, he or she is or was serving at the request of an executive
        officer of the Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
        benefit plan.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The Registrant maintains, at its expense, Directors and Officers Liability and Company Reimbursement Liability Insurance.&#160; The Directors and Officers Liability portion of such policy covers all directors and officers
        of the Registrant and of the companies which are, directly or indirectly, more than 50% owned by the Registrant.&#160; The policy provides for payment on behalf of the directors and officers, up to the policy limits and after expenditure of a specified
        deductible, of all Loss (as defined) from claims made against them during the policy period for defined wrongful acts, which include errors, misstatements or misleading statements, acts or omissions and neglect or breach of duty by directors and
        officers in the discharge of their individual or collective duties as such.&#160; The insurance includes the cost of investigations and defenses, appeals and bonds and settlements and judgments, but not fines or penalties imposed by law.&#160; The insurance
        does not cover any claims arising out of acts alleged to have been committed prior to October 24, 1978, or in the case of companies directly or indirectly 50% owned by the Registrant, such later date as the Registrant or its predecessors may be
        deemed to control the company.&#160; The policy contains various exclusions and reporting requirements.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The Registrant also has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors providing for indemnification against certain liabilities to the fullest extent permitted under Ohio law.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The Registrant&#8217;s directors and officers are covered by insurance policies indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which might
        be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant.</div>

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form S-8 Registration Statement is filed by Registrant to register an additional $100,000,000
of deferred compensation obligations issuable under the
        American Financial Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2022 (the "Plan"). On December 2, 1999, the Registrant filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement (Commission File No. 333-91945) (the "1999 Registration
        Statement") relating to the Plan that registers the offer and sale of: (a) 500,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, no par value per share (of which 320,412 remain unissued); and (b) $7,500,000 in deferred compensation obligations. Plan
        participants no longer have the ability to elect to have their deferred compensation obligations paid in common stock.  Concurrent with the filing of this Form S-8 Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing a post-effective amendment to the
        1999 Registration Statement to deregister the 320,412 shares of common stock, no par value per share, remaining unissued under the 1999 Registration Statement.

Item 4.
Description of Securities
The Deferred Compensation Obligations represent unsecured obligations (the "Obligations") of the Registrant to pay deferred compensation from time to time in the future in accordance with the terms of
        the Plan.
Eligible employees of the Registrant are entitled to defer receipt of base salary and bonus compensation into the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Plan is intended to be unfunded for
        purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant, subject to the claims of its general creditors. The amount of compensation to be deferred by each
        participating eligible employee (individually, a "Participant" and collectively, the "Participants") is determined in accordance with the Plan based on elections by each Participant.
At the time a Participant elects to defer compensation, the Participant also shall elect to have earnings credited to his or her account under one (or a combination) of investment fund elections or the interest
        election under the Plan.  A Participant may designate either a specified payment year as the time of payment or payment upon retirement, or a specified number of years following retirement, at the time the Participant elects to defer compensation. 
        If a Participant elects a specified payment year, and the specified payment year occurs prior to the Participant's separation from service for a reason other than retirement, death or disability, the payment will begin in January of the specified
        payment year.  If the Participant elects payment upon retirement, the payment will begin in January of the year following retirement.  If the Participant elects payment a certain number of years following retirement, the payment will begin in
        January of the year that is one year more than the number of years specified following retirement.
A Participant who has a separation from service (other than retirement), dies, or becomes disabled shall have his or her account paid in a single lump sum in cash as soon as administratively reasonable after such
        separation from service (other than retirement), death, or disability, but in no event later than 90 days after such separation from service (other than retirement), death, or disability, provided the Participant does not have a right to designate
        the taxable year of payment.
If the Participant elects a specified payment year, and the Participant has a separation from service that is a retirement, the payment will begin in January of the year of the specified payment year.  If the
        Participant has elected payment upon retirement or a specified number of years following retirement, and the Participant has a separation from service that is a retirement, the payment will be in January of the year following retirement, or number
        of years following retirement, as the case may be.
If the Participant is a "Specified Employee" (as defined in the Plan), then, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder, payments upon the
        Participant's separation from service shall not be made (or commence) before the date that is six months after the date of the Participant's separation from service, or if earlier, the date of the Participant's death.
A Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive any portion of the Obligations payable in the event of death. Participants or beneficiaries may not assign or transfer any right or
        interest in the Plan in which they are participating, and the payments under the Plan may not be subject to alienation, attachment, execution, levy, pledge or garnishment by or on behalf of creditors of Participants or beneficiaries.
The Registrant may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the securities registered by this Registration Statement will be passed upon for the Registrant by Mark A. Weiss, Vice President, Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Registrant.
        Mr. Weiss owns shares of the Registrant's common stock as a participant in various stock and employee benefit plans.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Ohio General Corporation Law Section 1701.13(E), allows indemnification by the Registrant to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any proceedings, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the
        Registrant, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, against expenses, including judgment and fines, if he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
        our best interests and, with respect to criminal actions, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  Similar provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, except that no
        indemnification shall be made in such cases when the person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct to the Registrant unless deemed otherwise by the court.  Indemnifications are to be made by a majority vote of a quorum
        of disinterested directors or the written opinion of independent counsel or by the shareholders or by the court.  The Registrant's Amended and Restated Code of Regulations extends such indemnification and provides indemnification to any person who
        was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative,
        by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or member of a committee of the Registrant or that, being or having been such a director or officer of the Registrant, he or she is or was serving at the request of an executive
        officer of the Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
        benefit plan.
The Registrant maintains, at its expense, Directors and Officers Liability and Company Reimbursement Liability Insurance.  The Directors and Officers Liability portion of such policy covers all directors and officers
        of the Registrant and of the companies which are, directly or indirectly, more than 50% owned by the Registrant.  The policy provides for payment on behalf of the directors and officers, up to the policy limits and after expenditure of a specified
        deductible, of all Loss (as defined) from claims made against them during the policy period for defined wrongful acts, which include errors, misstatements or misleading statements, acts or omissions and neglect or breach of duty by directors and
        officers in the discharge of their individual or collective duties as such.  The insurance includes the cost of investigations and defenses, appeals and bonds and settlements and judgments, but not fines or penalties imposed by law.  The insurance
        does not cover any claims arising out of acts alleged to have been committed prior to October 24, 1978, or in the case of companies directly or indirectly 50% owned by the Registrant, such later date as the Registrant or its predecessors may be
        deemed to control the company.  The policy contains various exclusions and reporting requirements.
The Registrant also has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors providing for indemnification against certain liabilities to the fullest extent permitted under Ohio law.
The Registrant's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which might
        be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant.

Undertakings
The Registrant hereby undertakes;
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
                in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
                and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
                no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
        contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
                such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
                in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has
                been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
                liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
                officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
                the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
        Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 10, 2022.
