MetLife, Inc. Declares Preferred Stock Dividends (Aug 17, 2026)

What Happened

• MetLife, Inc. (filed an 8‑K on August 17, 2026) announced the declaration of dividends on four series of its preferred stock via a news release filed as Exhibit 99.1. The company declared dividends for Series A (floating rate), Series D (5.875% fixed‑to‑floating), Series E (5.625%), and Series F (4.75%).

Key Details

• Series A (floating rate, $25 liquidation preference): quarterly dividend of $0.31471411 per share.
• Series D (5.875% fixed‑to‑floating, $1,000 liquidation preference): semi‑annual dividend of $29.375 per share.
• Series E (5.625%, $25,000 liquidation preference): quarterly dividend of $351.5625 per share — equals $0.3515625 per depositary share (each depositary share = 1/1,000th interest).
• Series F (4.75%, $25,000 liquidation preference): quarterly dividend of $296.875 per share — equals $0.296875 per depositary share (each depositary share = 1/1,000th interest).

Why It Matters

• These declarations confirm the scheduled income payments to holders of MetLife’s preferred and depositary shares. Dividend frequency (quarterly or semi‑annual), stated amounts, and the per‑depositary‑share conversions for Series E and F are the concrete payment terms investors rely on for cash yield and income planning.
• For holders of these preferred issues, the filing signals no interruption and provides the exact amounts to expect; it does not change common‑share dividends or overall capital structure beyond declaring these payments.
