Proposals

On the ballot3

  1. 1

    Election of Directors

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Elect each of eleven director nominees to serve a one-year term ending at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (or until the effective time of the merger, if earlier).

  2. 2

    Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the 2025 compensation of Corebridge’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.

    More detail

    This advisory proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the Company’s 2025 executive compensation disclosure (the “Say on Pay” vote). Management seeks approval to validate its pay programs for the Named Executive Officers, which in 2025 included adjustments tied to Corebridge’s transition to a standalone public company, targeted increases to long‑term incentive opportunities, the introduction of PSUs to strengthen performance alignment, and one-time new-hire and transition awards in connection with the CEO and General Counsel appointments. The Board recommends FOR because it believes the overall compensation framework aligns pay with performance, emphasizes long-term equity-based incentives, includes robust risk mitigants (clawbacks, anti‑hedging/pledging policies, stock ownership guidelines), and was informed by extensive shareholder engagement where prior advisory votes showed strong support. The vote is advisory and non-binding, so while it does not compel any contractual change, the Board states that it will consider the outcome and investor feedback in future compensation decisions. Key contextual factors include a CEO transition (Kevin Hogan to Marc Costantini), a transformational merger with Equitable that the company is preparing to close, material reinsurance and portfolio transactions (e.g., the Venerable reinsurance/asset sale) that affected reported 2025 results and required normalization adjustments for incentive metrics, and the introduction of PSUs tied to adjusted ROAE and relative TSR to better link long-term pay to multi-year value creation. Management’s case emphasizes competitiveness of pay (market benchmarking, independent consultant input) and retention/attraction needs for critical talent during a period of strategic change; the Board also highlights governance practices used to set and oversee compensation. Opponents of Say on Pay votes typically argue that advisory approval may mask specific large awards (such as sign-on packages) or that certain metrics/adjustments warrant closer scrutiny; the proxy addresses some of these concerns by disclosing the rationale for one-time sign-on/transition awards, the design and mix of STI/LTI, and the Committee’s process and shareholder engagement. For an analyst evaluating the proposal, the vote tests investor support for compensation decisions made during a year of significant corporate activity, and the Board’s commitment to incorporate stockholder feedback and maintain market‑aligned, risk‑balanced pay practices should inform judgments about future governance and pay-for-performance alignment.

  3. 3

    Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Ratify PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Corebridge’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.
