Commenting on the announcement, MetLife President and CEO Michel Khalaf said: "This new share repurchase authorization combined with the common stock dividend increase we announced in April reflects MetLife’s financial strength and balanced approach to capital management. Taken together, these actions reinforce our commitment to being a sound capital steward for our shareholders."
