- Use of proceeds: Net proceeds, together with cash on hand, are intended to repay the company’s $750 million term loan due February 2023.

Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period
No prior-period operating or financial results are presented. The material reported change is the planned refinancing of the $750 million February 2023 term loan with longer-dated senior unsecured notes, including debt maturities in 2027 and 2032.

- The notes will be issued under the company’s existing November 23, 2021 indenture, as supplemented by two supplemental indentures, and sold under a Form S-3 registration statement.
- The notes may be redeemed before their respective par-call dates at a make-whole redemption price, subject to specified terms. Thereafter, they are redeemable at par plus accrued interest. The par-call dates are May 8, 2027, for the 2027 Notes and March 8, 2032, for the 2032 Notes.
- Indenture covenants restrict, subject to exceptions, secured debt involving Jackson National Life Insurance Company or its controlling entities, dispositions of related capital stock, and certain mergers or transfers of substantially all assets.
- Events of default include failure to pay principal or interest, specified cross-defaults, and insolvency or bankruptcy events.
- Certain underwriters or affiliates are lenders under Jackson Financial’s credit facilities and are expected to receive proceeds from repayment of the term loan. The filing also describes other banking relationships and a director affiliation involving Goldman Sachs.
- The issuance remains subject to satisfaction of conditions, and the filing does not clearly state the final closing date or net proceeds after underwriting discounts and expenses.
- Forward-looking statements concerning the offering and repayment plan are subject to execution, market, liquidity, refinancing, and other risks described in the company’s SEC filings.
