Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 14, 2026, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Corebridge Financial, Inc. (the Company) elected Hirotaka Inoue as a director of the Company, effective April 21, 2026.
Pursuant to the Stockholder’s Agreement (the Nippon Life Stockholder’s Agreement), dated as of December 9, 2024, between the Company and Nippon Life Insurance Company (Nippon Life), until the date that the share ownership percentage of Nippon Life is less than 5%, Nippon Life has the right to designate a number of individuals to serve as directors equal to (a) the product of the total number of Board members multiplied by (b) the share ownership percentage of Nippon Life, with such number of directors rounded down to the nearest whole number (each, a Nippon Life Designee). Keith Gubbay, Minoru Kimura and Tomohiro Yao currently serve on the Board as Nippon Life Designees.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2026, Nippon Life notified the Company on March 11, 2026 that it will effect a change in one of the Nippon Life Designees, with Mr. Kimura resigning from the Board, effective as of April 20, 2026.
On March 23, 2026, American International Group, Inc. (AIG) waived its right under the Separation Agreement (the Separation Agreement), dated as of September 14, 2022, between the Company and AIG, as amended by that certain Amendment, dated as of May 16, 2024, by and between the Company and AIG (the Amendment) to designate any members of the Board, resulting in a decrease of the number of Board members designated by AIG to zero (0).
On March 25, 2026, the Board decreased the size of the Board to eleven (11) from thirteen (13) members. As a result of such reduction in the size of the Board, Nippon Life is entitled to designate only two (2) Nippon Life Designees to the Board pursuant to the terms of the Nippon Life Stockholder’s Agreement.
On March 25, 2026, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to grant Nippon Life a waiver in respect of the Board designation provisions of the Nippon Life Stockholder’s Agreement (until such time as revoked by the Board in its discretion) (the Waiver), so that Nippon Life will continue to have three (3), rather than two (2), Nippon Life Designees on the Board. Pursuant to the Waiver, (a) Nippon Life designated Mr. Inoue to replace Mr. Kimura as a Nippon Life Designee and (b) Messrs. Gubbay and Yao will continue to serve on the Board as Nippon Life Designees.
On April 14, 2026, the Board elected Mr. Inoue as a director of the Company, effective on April 21, 2026, to fill the vacancy that will result from Mr. Kimura’s departure on April 20, 2026, and nominated Mr. Inoue to stand for election at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company. The Board determined that Mr. Inoue qualifies as an independent director under the Corporate Governance Standards of the New York Stock Exchange. On April 14, 2026, the Board also appointed Mr. Yao to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, effective as of April 21, 2026.
Pursuant to the Nippon Life Stockholder's Agreement, Mr. Inoue will not be compensated by the Company for his service on the Board. Mr. Inoue has no family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The foregoing description of the Nippon Life Stockholder’s Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Nippon Life Stockholder’s Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Amendment, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.60, 10.4 and 10.58, respectively, to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 11, 2026 and incorporated by reference herein.
