Jackson Announces Pricing of Depositary Shares Offering

LANSING, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jackson Financial Inc.¹ (NYSE: JXN) (Jackson®) today announced the pricing of a $550 million offering of 22,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000^th interest in a share of its Fixed-Rate Reset Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, $25,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share), with a 5-year call/dividend rate reset period and noncumulative dividends. The underwriters have the option to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 depositary shares to cover over-allotments, if any. Jackson intends to list the Depositary Shares on the NYSE under the symbol “JXN PR A.” The offering is expected to close March 13, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
