Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 45
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities may be realized or result in future impairments.
Substantially all of the fixed maturity securities we hold are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and are, therefore, excluded from net earnings. The accumulated change in estimated fair value of these available-for-sale securities is recognized in net earnings when the gain or loss is realized upon the sale of the security, when it is determined that an allowance for credit losses is necessary or when all or a portion of the unrealized loss on a security is recognized. The determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses varies by investment type and is based upon our periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. There can be no assurance that our management has accurately assessed the level of the allowance recorded sufficiently with respect to the actual realized losses in the future, which is reflected in our financial statements. With respect to unrealized losses, we establish deferred tax assets for the tax benefit we may receive in the event that losses are realized. The realization of significant realized losses could result in an inability to recover the tax benefits and may result in the establishment of valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets. Realized losses or increases in our allowance for credit losses may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in a particular quarterly or annual period. The occurrence of an economic downturn, changes in macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical events, acts of corporate malfeasance, widening credit spreads, or other events that adversely affect the issuers or guarantors of securities we own or the underlying collateral of structured securities we own could cause the estimated fair value of our fixed maturity securities portfolio and corresponding earnings to decline and cause the default rate of the fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio to increase. A ratings downgrade affecting issuers or guarantors of particular securities we hold, or similar trends, could worsen the credit quality of issuers or guarantors and cause the valuation of such securities to decline. With economic uncertainty, credit quality of issuers or guarantors could be adversely affected. Similarly, a ratings downgrade affecting a security we hold could indicate the credit quality of that security has deteriorated and could increase statutory capital requirements. Write-downs or impairments, which are impacted by intent to sell, or our assessment of the likelihood that we will be required to sell, fixed maturity securities would cause a loss of earnings and a decrease in statutory surplus. Realized losses or allowances for credit losses on these securities may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We and certain of our stockholders may have conflicts of interest with AIG, Nippon or Blackstone, our largest stockholders.
Conflicts of interest may arise between AIG, Nippon, Blackstone and us, since AIG, Nippon and Blackstone have in the past and may in the future engage in transactions with us. Further, AIG. Nippon or Blackstone may, from time to time, acquire and hold interests in, or maintain business relationships with, businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. In general, AIG, Nippon or Blackstone could pursue business interests or exercise its voting power as stockholders in ways that are detrimental to us but beneficial to themselves or to other companies in which they invest or with whom they have relationships. In addition, adverse publicity, regulatory scrutiny and pending investigations by regulators or law enforcement agencies involving AIG, Nippon or Blackstone could negatively impact our reputation due to our relationship with AIG, Nippon or Blackstone, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Anti-takeover provisions could discourage, delay, or prevent our change in control, even if the change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders.
Our Organizational Documents include a number of provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders consider favorable, including provisions that: - authorize the issuance of shares of our common stock that could be used by our Board to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or gain control;- authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be used by our Board to thwart a takeover attempt;- provide that vacancies on our Board (other than vacancies created by the removal of a director by stockholder vote), including vacancies resulting from an enlargement of our Board, may be filled by a majority vote of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; and - establish advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election as directors or to bring other business before an annual meeting of our stockholders. These provisions could prevent our stockholders from receiving the benefit from any premium to the market price of our common stock offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if the provisions are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future. Our Organizational Documents could also make it difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our management. Furthermore, the existence of the foregoing provisions, as well as the significant amount of Corebridge Parent common stock that AIG and Nippon beneficially own, could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions could facilitate management entrenchment that could delay, deter, render more difficult or prevent a change in our control, which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders. In addition to the anti-takeover provisions of our Organizational Documents, there are other factors that may delay, deter or prevent our change in control. As an insurance holding company, we are regulated as an insurance holding company and are subject to the insurance holding company acts of the states in which our insurance company subsidiaries are domiciled. The insurance holding company acts and regulations restrict the ability of any person to obtain control of an insurance company without prior regulatory approval. Under those statutes and regulations, without such approval (or an exemption), no person may acquire any voting security of a domestic insurance company, or an insurance holding company which controls an insurance company, or merge with such a holding company, if as a result of such transaction such person would "control" the insurance holding company or insurance company. "Control" is generally defined as the direct or indirect power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person and is presumed to exist if a person directly or indirectly owns or controls 10% or more of the voting securities of another person. State insurance regulators, however, may find that "control" exists in circumstances in which a person owns or controls less than 10% of the voting securities. Each of AIG and Nippon is currently considered our affiliate for insurance regulatory purposes. Because AIG's common stock (i.e., its voting securities) trades on the NYSE, persons considering an investment in our common stock (i.e., our voting securities) should take into consideration their ownership of AIG voting securities and consult their own legal advisors regarding such insurance holding company laws relating to the purchase and ownership of our common stock in light of their particular circumstances.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the stock purchase agreement executed in connection with the Nippon Transaction (the "Purchase Agreement"), we waive any interest or expectancy in corporate opportunities presented to AIG, Blackstone or Nippon, as applicable.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Purchase Agreement provide that we renounce and waive any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, corporate opportunities that are from time to time presented to AIG, Blackstone, Nippon or their respective officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates or subsidiaries, even if the opportunity is one that we might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so. None of AIG, Blackstone, Nippon or their respective agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates or subsidiaries will generally be liable to us or any of our subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues, acquires or participates in such corporate opportunity, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or fails to present such corporate opportunity, or information regarding such corporate opportunity, to us unless, in the case of any such person who is a director or officer, such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer. As a result, AIG, Blackstone or Nippon may compete with us for investment and other opportunities, which could result in fewer such opportunities for us. We likely will not always be able to compete successfully with AIG, Blackstone or Nippon (or any of their portfolio companies). Further, AIG, Blackstone or Nippon may pursue acquisition opportunities for their respective businesses that are complementary to our business. As a result, such acquisition opportunities may not be available to us, and none of AIG, Blackstone or Nippon would have any obligation to offer us corporate opportunities.
