Other Events.

On September 2, 2025, MetLife issued a news release announcing that it will redeem all shares outstanding of its 3.850% fixed rate reset non-cumulative preferred stock, Series G, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock”). All outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock will be redeemed on September 15, 2025, at a redemption price of $1,000 per share.

The semi-annual dividend of $19.250 per share of Series G Preferred Stock will be payable on September 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of Friday, August 29, 2025, and therefore this dividend will not form part of the redemption price.
