Corebridge Financial, Inc. announced that its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on September 16, 2026, with a record date of July 28, 2026. Due to the meeting date differing by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2025 meeting, the company has updated the deadlines for stockholder proposals and director nominations. Stockholders must submit Rule 14a-8 proposals by July 24, 2026, and proxy access nominations or other proposals by July 11, 2026.

Corebridge Financial and Equitable Holdings jointly announced the proposed leadership team for their future combined company, effective upon the completion of their previously announced all-stock merger. Marc Costantini, Corebridge's current CEO, will lead as CEO, while Mark Pearson, Equitable Holdings' current CEO, will serve as Executive Chair. The announcement details key appointments across finance, operations, legal, investment, and business segments, signaling progress towards the merger's completion by year-end 2026.

Corebridge Financial, Inc. reported a net loss of $53 million for the first quarter of 2026, a substantial improvement compared to a $664 million loss in the prior year. The company achieved an adjusted after-tax operating income of $501 million and operating EPS of $1.05 per share. Corebridge also returned $1.4 billion to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases, and confirmed that its transformative merger with Equitable is progressing as planned, with regulatory filings on track.

Corebridge Financial, Inc.'s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Elias Habayeb, has certified the accuracy of Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. This certification confirms that, to his knowledge, the report does not contain any untrue statements of material fact or omissions that would render the statements misleading. This is a standard compliance procedure for financial reporting integrity.

Corebridge Financial, Inc. elected Hirotaka Inoue as a director, effective April 21, 2026. This appointment follows the resignation of Minoru Kimura, effective April 20, 2026, as a Nippon Life Designee. The company's Board of Directors also decreased its size from 13 to 11 members on March 25, 2026, after American International Group, Inc. waived its right to designate any board members. Consequently, Nippon Life is now entitled to designate two directors to the Board.

Corebridge Financial, Inc. disclosed preliminary variable investment income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, estimating it to be approximately $15 million to $25 million on a pre-tax basis. The company noted that positive alternative investment returns were largely offset by unrealized mark-to-market losses on investments. These preliminary figures precede the full quarterly earnings release scheduled for May 4, 2026.

Corebridge Financial, Inc. announced the appointment of Christopher Filiaggi as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective April 24, 2026. Mr. Filiaggi, currently the company's Chief Accounting Officer, will serve in both capacities. This appointment follows the previously disclosed resignation of Elias Habayeb from the CFO role, also effective April 24, 2026.

Corebridge Financial, Inc. has entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with Nippon Life Insurance Company and Equitable Holdings, Inc. on April 8, 2026. This agreement formally commits Nippon Life to vote its shares in favor of the previously announced merger between Corebridge and Equitable. The commitment from a significant shareholder like Nippon Life helps de-risk the merger approval process, signaling increased certainty for the transaction's completion. This procedural yet important step facilitates the finalization of the strategic combination.
