Equitable Holdings to reinsure 75% of individual life block with RGA for over $2 billion

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 restructuring Written later

Equitable Holdings subsidiaries agreed on February 23, 2025 to cede a 75% quota share of their in-force individual life insurance block to RGA Reinsurance Company. The company expects over $2 billion of value from the deal, including a ceding commission and capital release, and plans to redeploy that capital into share repurchases and a larger stake in AllianceBernstein, but it also estimates a GAAP net loss at closing. The deal is expected to close in mid-2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

  • Agreement dated February 23, 2025 covers a 75% quota share of the in-force individual life insurance block with RGA Reinsurance Company
  • Company expects over $2 billion of value, including a positive ceding commission and release of capital
  • Company estimates a GAAP net loss at close and a reduction in book value excluding accumulated other comprehensive income
  • Planned uses of capital include a tender offer for up to $1.8 billion of AllianceBernstein Holdings units and $500 million of incremental share repurchases after closing; closing expected mid-2025
