ORGANIZATION AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Corporation (the “Corporation”) is a leading global investment firm focused on building long-term wealth for institutions and individuals around the world. References in these financial statements to “Brookfield,” “us,” “we,” “our” or “the company” refer to the Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and consolidated entities. The Corporation is listed on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges (“NYSE” and “TSX”, respectively) under the symbol BN. The Corporation was formed by articles of amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and is registered in Ontario, Canada. The registered office of the Corporation is Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 100, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3.
Capital Management
The Corporation utilizes its capital to manage the business in a number of ways, including operating performance, value creation, credit metrics and capital efficiency. The Corporation’s capital is closely tracked and monitored by the company’s key management personnel and evaluated relative to management’s objectives. The primary goal of the company is to earn a 15%+ return compounded over the long-term while always maintaining excess capital to support ongoing operations.
The Corporation’s capital consists of the capital invested in its Asset Management business, its Wealth Solutions business, investments in its operating businesses, its corporate investments that are held outside of managed entities, and its net working capital. The Corporation’s capital is funded with common equity, preferred equity and corporate borrowings issued by the Corporation.
As at June 30, 2026, the Corporation’s capital totaled $61.5 billion (December 31, 2025 – $62.4 billion), and is computed as follows:

Common equity in investments is a measure routinely evaluated by our company’s key management personnel and represents the net equity in our consolidated financial statements outside of our Corporate Activities. This measure is equal to the sum of the common equity in our Asset Management, Wealth Solutions, Infrastructure, Energy, Private Equity, and Real Estate operating segments.
In March 2026, Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU”) and Brookfield Business Holdings Corporation (“BBHC”, formerly Brookfield Business Corporation) completed a corporate reorganization into a new single publicly traded corporate entity – Brookfield Business Corporation (“BBUC”). All BBU limited partnership units and redemption-exchange units, as well as BBHC exchangeable shares were exchanged for newly issued Class A shares of BBUC on a one-for-one basis. In addition, BBU general partnership units and special limited partnership units were exchanged for newly issued Class B shares and non-voting incentive shares (“Special Shares”) of BBUC, respectively. The reorganization did not result in a change to BN’s economic interest and control over BBUC.
