Jackson Announces Fourth Quarter Cash Dividend of $0.50 Per Share and a $300 Million Share Repurchase Program

Jackson Financial Inc.1 (NYSE: JXN) (Jackson®) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the commencement of a regular quarterly cash dividend and declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per Class A and Class B common share for the fourth quarter 2021. The Board also authorized a $300 million share repurchase program for Jackson’s Class A common stock. The dividend and share repurchase program are the first for Jackson since becoming an independent, publicly-traded company.

“Jackson is committed to returning excess capital to shareholders as part of a balanced capital management strategy,” commented Laura Prieskorn, CEO of Jackson. “This announcement reflects our strong capital position and confidence in our ability to generate consistent, profitable growth that enables strategic reinvestment in the business while returning capital to shareholders. Taken together, the dividend and share repurchase program position us to fulfill our previously announced target of returning $325 million to $425 million to shareholders within the first year following the demerger.”

The fourth quarter cash dividend on Jackson’s Class A and Class B common stock is payable on December 9, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 19, 2021. The approximate number of common shares outstanding as of November 8, 2021 was 94.5 million.

Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner and at such times as management determines in compliance with applicable legal requirements. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions. Management reserves its right to amend or terminate the program at any time in its discretion.
