Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2025, subsidiaries of Corebridge Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), American General Life Insurance Company, a Texas-domiciled insurance company (“AGL”), and The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, a New York-domiciled insurance company (“USL” and, together with AGL, the “Ceding Companies” and each, a “Ceding Company”), entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Corporate Solutions Life Reinsurance Company, an Iowa-domiciled insurance company (“Reinsurer”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at the applicable closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, (i) AGL and the Reinsurer will enter into a coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreement (the “Texas Reinsurance Agreement”), (ii) USL and Reinsurer will enter into a coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreement (the “New York Reinsurance Agreement”, and together with the Texas Reinsurance Agreement, the “Reinsurance Agreements” and each, a “Reinsurance Agreement”), pursuant to which the applicable Ceding Company will cede to Reinsurer, and Reinsurer will reinsure, on a combined coinsurance (with respect to general account assets) and modified coinsurance (with respect to separate account assets) basis, 100% of the applicable reinsured liabilities with respect to (x) certain in-force individual retirement variable annuity contracts issued prior to the effective time of the Reinsurance Agreements, and (y) only with respect to AGL, certain new individual retirement variable annuity contracts issued after the effective time of the Reinsurance Agreement, in each case, as identified and described in the Reinsurance Agreements, and (iii) Venerable Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Venerable”), and, solely for limited purposes, VA Capital Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the applicable Ceding Company will enter into a guarantee. In addition, AGL agreed to sell all of the outstanding membership interests in SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SAAMCo”), to Venerable or one of its affiliates subject to customary terms and conditions.

Reinsurer will deposit assets supporting the general account liabilities relating to the Reinsured Contracts into separate trust accounts for the benefit of each Ceding Company, which assets will secure its obligations to each Ceding Company under the applicable Reinsurance Agreement. In addition, the investment of assets in each trust account will be subject to investment guidelines and certain capital adequacy related triggers will require enhanced funding. The Reinsurance Agreements also contain additional counterparty risk management and mitigation provisions.

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as covenants by each of the parties. The representations and warranties in the Agreement are the product of negotiation among the parties to the Agreement and are for the sole benefit of such parties. Any inaccuracies of such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by such parties in accordance with the Agreement without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in the Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties of risk associated with particular matters, and the assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with the execution of the Agreement. Consequently, persons other than the parties to the Agreement may not rely upon the representations and warranties in the Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of the Agreement or as of any other date. Each of the Ceding Companies and Reinsurer has agreed to indemnify the other party and their respective affiliates with respect to certain losses arising out of or resulting from breaches of its representations, warranties and covenants, as well as for certain other matters.

The closings with respect to the Texas Reinsurance Agreement and the New York Reinsurance Agreement are bifurcated. The closing with respect to the Texas Reinsurance Agreement is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2025 and the closings with respect to the New York Reinsurance Agreement and the sale of SAAMCo are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025. The consummation of the closings under the Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions specified in the Agreement, including, among other things, (i) only with respect to the New York Reinsurance Agreement, the receipt of required regulatory approvals, without imposing a burdensome condition, (ii) with respect to the sale of SAAMCo, the approval of FINRA, and (iii) absence of a material adverse effect on Reinsurer (in the case of the Ceding Companies) or the Reinsured Contracts (in the case of Reinsurer), subject to certain exceptions and qualifications.

The total transaction value is estimated at $2.8 billion, consisting of both ceding commission and capital release, and will generate an estimated $2.1 billion of net distributable proceeds after-tax for the Company.

(“Fortitude Re”) and its performance of its obligations under these agreements; • our limited ability to access funds from our subsidiaries; • our ability to incur indebtedness, our potential inability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all; • our ability to maintain sufficient eligible collateral to support business and funding strategies requiring collateralization; • our inability to generate cash to meet our needs due to the illiquidity of some of our investments; • the inaccuracy of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions underlying our valuation of investments and derivatives; • a downgrade in our Insurer Financial Strength (“IFS”) ratings or credit ratings; • exposure to credit risk due to non-performance or defaults by our counterparties or our use of derivative instruments to hedge market risks associated with our liabilities; • our ability to adequately assess risks and estimate losses related to the pricing of our products; • the failure of third parties that we rely upon to provide and adequately perform certain business, operations, investment advisory, functional support and administrative services on our behalf; • the impact of risks associated with our arrangement with Blackstone ISG-I Advisors LLC (“Blackstone IM”), BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise may be required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Unless specifically noted otherwise, forward-looking projections are based on our financial statements as filed with the SEC in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes a reference to Adjusted after-tax operating income (“AATOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure. AATOI is derived by excluding the tax effected adjusted pre-tax operating (“APTOI”) adjustments described below, as well as the following tax items from net income attributable to us:


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • reclassifications of disproportionate tax effects from AOCI, changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; and • deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges. APTOI is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit). These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and recording adjustments to APTOI that we believe to be common in our industry. We believe the adjustments to pre-tax income are useful for gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations. APTOI excludes the impact of the following items: FORTITUDE RE RELATED ADJUSTMENTS: The modified coinsurance (“modco”) reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re transfer the economics of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re. Accordingly, the net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and the net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets are excluded from APTOI. Similarly, changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative are also excluded from APTOI. The ongoing results associated with the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re have been excluded from APTOI as these are not indicative of our ongoing business operations. INVESTMENT RELATED ADJUSTMENTS: APTOI excludes “Net realized gains (losses)”, except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments. Net realized gains (losses), except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, are excluded as the timing of sales on invested assets or changes in allowances depend largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. In addition, changes in interest rates may create opportunistic scenarios to buy or sell invested assets. Our derivative results, including those used to economically hedge insurance liabilities, or those recognized as embedded derivatives at fair value, are also included in Net realized gains (losses) and are similarly excluded from APTOI except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedges or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g., Net investment income and Interest credited to policyholder account balances). MARKET RISK BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS (“MRBs”): Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) and/or guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”) which are accounted for as


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MRBs. Changes in the fair value of these MRBs (excluding changes related to our own credit risk), including certain rider fees attributed to the MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs are recorded through “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net” and are excluded from APTOI. Changes in the fair value of securities used to economically hedge MRBs are excluded from APTOI. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: Other adjustments represent all other adjustments that are excluded from APTOI and includes the net pre-tax operating income (losses) from noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment entities. The excluded adjustments include, as applicable: • restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization; • non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes to changes to accounting principles; • separation costs; • non-operating litigation reserves and settlements; • loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, if any; • losses from the impairment of goodwill, if any; and • income and loss from divested or run-off business, if any. Key Operating Metrics and Key Terms This release includes a reference to Life Fleet RBC Ratio. Life Fleet means American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”), The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“USL”) and The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”). Life Fleet RBC Ratio is the risk-based capital (“RBC”) ratio for the Life Fleet. RBC ratios are quoted using the Company Action Level.

You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Unless specifically noted otherwise, forward-looking projections are based on our financial statements as filed with the SEC in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Any forward-looking statements included herein are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected or implied in such forward-looking statements. A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Throughout this presentation, we present our financial condition and results of operations in the way we believe will be most meaningful and representative of our business results. Some of the measurements we use are ‘‘Non-GAAP financial measures’’ under SEC rules and regulations. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures allows for a deeper understanding of the profitability drivers of our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results of operations and financial condition that are presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
