| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On January 22, 2025, Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential” or the “Company”) announced that a Prudential subsidiary entered into an agreement with Prismic Life Reinsurance International, Ltd., a subsidiary of Prismic Life Holding Company, LP (“Prismic HoldCo”) to reinsure an approximately $7 billion block of U.S. Dollar denominated Japan whole life products originated by the Company’s Japan insurance subsidiaries. In connection with the transaction, Prudential will make an equity investment in Prismic HoldCo to maintain its equity interest in Prismic HoldCo at approximately 20 percent.
Closing of the transaction is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
Subject to market conditions at closing, the transaction value is estimated to be $400 million, which includes release of capital, ceding commission, taxes, and the net present value of future income, of which approximately $100 million will be used to fund the equity investment in Prismic HoldCo, with the remaining amount to be released over time.
As a result of the transaction described above, Prudential anticipates a modest increase to after-tax annual adjusted operating income, reflecting a reduction in earnings from the reinsured international business, offset by an increase in PGIM asset management fees, and the expected earnings within Corporate & Other on the 20 percent limited partner interest in Prismic HoldCo.
The Company is furnishing herewith as Exhibit 99.1 a news release announcing the transaction.

Prudential Financial to Reinsure $7B Japanese Whole Life Block with Prismic Life
Second transaction expands Prismic’s AUM to estimated $17 billion
NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 22, 2025 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) announced today an agreement to reinsure a portion of its recently originated Japanese whole life policies with a subsidiary of Prismic Life (Prismic), a Bermuda-based life and annuity reinsurance company sponsored by Prudential and Warburg Pincus and supported by a group of global investors.
Under the terms of the agreement, Prismic will reinsure approximately $7 billion of reserves backing USD-denominated Japanese whole life insurance policies which were recently originated by Prudential’s Japanese affiliates. Prudential’s obligations to these policyholders will remain unchanged following the reinsurance arrangement, and Prudential will continue to administer the contracts.
“We are excited to enter a second Prismic transaction alongside our co-investors which adds further scale to this unique reinsurance platform,” said Charles F. Lowrey, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial. “We look forward to deepening our strategic partnership with Prismic to help grow our business and expand access to investing, insurance, and retirement security around the world.”
The transaction is expected to bring Prismic’s assets under management to $17 billion. PGIM Multi-Asset Solutions and Warburg Pincus will continue to provide asset management services to Prismic across public and private markets, including public fixed income, private credit, private real estate, and private equity.
“Prismic is proud to provide a reinsurance solution for Prudential’s Japanese whole life insurance policies,” said Nandini Mongia, group executive chair and CEO of Prismic. “This transaction further strengthens Prismic’s platform by diversifying its earnings and risk profile, building on the inaugural transaction with Prudential in September 2023.”
As part of the transaction, Prudential intends to make an equity investment in Prismic of approximately $100 million, alongside a group of global investors who will invest additional consideration of approximately $400 million.
The consummation of the transaction, which was entered into in December 2024 and ratified by Prismic investors in January 2025, is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Prismic Life was advised by PGIM Multi-Asset Solutions LLC, Agam Capital Management LLC, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and Appleby (Bermuda) Limited. Debevoise & Plimpton LLP served as legal counsel to Prudential Financial.
