Corebridge Financial's board elected Hirotaka Inoue, a Nippon Life Insurance executive, as a director effective April 21, 2026. He fills the seat vacated by Minoru Kimura, who leaves the board April 20, 2026, and he is nominated for election at the 2026 annual meeting.

Corebridge Financial said preliminary first-quarter 2026 variable investment income is estimated at $15 million to $25 million pre-tax, with positive alternative investment returns offset by unrealized mark-to-market losses.
