Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On July 9, 2025, Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge” or the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved two amendments (the “Charter Amendments”) to the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
As further disclosed in Proposals 1 and 2 of the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2025 (the “Special Meeting Proxy Statement”), the Charter Amendments (i) expressly authorize the Board of Directors of Corebridge (the “Board”) to approve amendments to Corebridge’s Second Amended and Restated By-laws (the “Board Authorization Amendment”) and (ii) implement provisions governing stockholder action by written consent, including a requirement that stockholders owning at least 25% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Corebridge’s capital stock entitled to consent on the action sought to be taken by written consent must submit a written request before the Board is required to fix a record date for stockholders entitled to take action by written consent without Board support (the “Written Consent Amendment”).
The Charter Amendments became effective upon the filing of a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 9, 2025.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Charter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Charter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

For more information about the foregoing proposals, see the Special Meeting Proxy Statement.
