Shareholder votes at financial companies with listed hybrid capital carry a read-through across both equity and debt classes. Corebridge Financial, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, put that to the test on September 16, seating all eleven director nominees at its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, passing an advisory say-on-pay resolution for 2025 executive compensation, and ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditor for 2026.
The meeting was conducted via live webcast. As of the July 28 record date, 445,772,522 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. All eleven nominees cleared the ballot, though the margins differed across the slate. Alan Colberg drew the steepest opposition, receiving 330,928,769 votes in favor and 30,272,488 against. Tomohiro Yao was next, with 342,688,710 in favor and 18,475,655 against. The remaining nine nominees each received more than 357 million votes in favor. Keith Gubbay drew the strongest support of the group, with 360,581,544 votes for and only 608,573 against. Broker non-votes of 6,547,481 shares applied uniformly across the eleven contests.
The say-on-pay resolution passed with 355,385,710 shares in favor, 5,770,219 against, and 95,632 abstentions. PricewaterhouseCoopers was ratified on 367,005,639 votes for and 725,213 against, with no broker non-votes applicable to the auditor item.
Capital structure and cross-class read-through
Corebridge (CRBG) lists two securities on the New York Stock Exchange: common stock and 6.375% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2064, the latter trading under ticker CRBD. Against the backdrop of that dual listing, the board composition vote carries a structural interest for hybrid note holders alongside equity investors. On balance, a clean director sweep and a contained say-on-pay dissent offer no governance disruption to either class. The 8-K was signed by Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Jeannette N. Pina and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2026.
