Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

Equitable Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”

or “Equitable”), in consultation with representatives of Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge”), is exploring

undertaking repurchases of shares of its common stock prior to closing of the parties’ pending merger (announced March 26, 2026),

including during the period from the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus

relating to the parties’ pending merger until the commencement of mailing of such preliminary proxy statement/prospectus. If the

Company were to determine to undertake such share repurchases, it would seek a waiver from Corebridge under the parties’ merger

agreement of the provision thereunder prohibiting share repurchases during the pendency of the merger. There can be no assurance

that the Company will determine to make such share repurchases during the above noted time period and if undertaken, the volume, pricing,

timing and method of repurchases of shares of its common stock will be in the discretion of the Company.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K,

the information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18

of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in

any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking

Information

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes statements,

which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute “forward looking statements” within

the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, and any related oral statements,

can be identified by the use of terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,”

“should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “forecasts,”

“intends,” “targets,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “goals,”

“guidance,” “formidable,” “preliminary,” “objective,” “continue,” “drive,”

“improve,” “superior,” “robust,” “positioned,” “resilient,” “vision,”

“potential,” “immediate,” and similar expressions or the negative of those expressions or verbs. We caution you

that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts

but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, which may by their nature be inherently uncertain, and some of which may

be outside our control. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the potential repurchases of shares of common

stock, statements about the expected timing and completion of the proposed transaction between Equitable and Corebridge (the “Proposed

Transaction”), the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction, including estimated synergies and projected cost savings, and

plans and expectations for Equitable, Corebridge or their new parent company after completion of the Proposed Transaction.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to known

and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements

to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Key factors include, among others, the

ability to repurchase shares (if Equitable decides to do so) within the expected timing or at all; the ability to complete the Proposed

Transaction on the timeframe or on the terms currently anticipated or at all, including due to a failure to obtain requisite stockholder,

stock exchange, regulatory, governmental or other approvals; risks related to difficulties, inabilities or delays in integrating the parties’

businesses; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction, including estimated run-rate expense synergies

and projected cost savings at the times, and to the extent, anticipated, as well as expected operating earnings and cashflow generation;

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of either or both parties to terminate the

merger agreement; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the Proposed Transaction on Equitable or Corebridge’s

stock price and on their respective business, contractual and operational relationships (including with regulatory bodies, employees,

suppliers, clients and competitors); risks related to business disruptions from the Proposed Transaction that may harm the business or

current plans and operations of either or both parties, including diversion of management time from ongoing business operations; the risk

that the Proposed Transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of either or both parties to hire and retain

key personnel; the parties’ ability to raise debt on favorable terms or at all; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be

instituted against Equitable, Corebridge, their new parent company or their respective directors; restrictions on the conduct of Equitable

and Corebridge’s respective businesses prior to Closing and on each of their ability to pursue alternatives to the Proposed Transaction;

the possibility that the Proposed Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected

factors or events, or unforeseen or unknown liabilities; the deterioration of economic conditions; geopolitical tensions; the potential

impact of a downgrade in Equitable or Corebridge’s Insurer Financial Strength ratings or credit ratings or of the new parent company

of Equitable and Corebridge following completion of the Proposed Transaction; other factors that may affect future results of Equitable

and Corebridge; and management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You

should carefully consider these factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the

new parent company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 and other documents filed or furnished by Equitable and

Corebridge from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including their Annual Reports on Form

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause

actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. If any of these risks materialize

or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual events and results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

There may be additional risks that neither Equitable nor Corebridge presently know or that Equitable and Corebridge currently believe

are immaterial that could also cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Equitable and Corebridge’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and

views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Equitable and Corebridge anticipate that subsequent events and developments will

cause Equitable and Corebridge’s assessments to change. While Equitable and Corebridge may elect to update these forward-looking

statements at some point in the future, Equitable and Corebridge specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable

law. Neither Equitable nor Corebridge gives any assurance that Equitable, Corebridge or their new parent company will achieve the results

or other matters set forth in the forward-looking statements.
