__________________ (1)The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law on August 16, 2022, imposes a one percent excise tax, net of any allowable offsets, on certain corporate stock buybacks made after December 31, 2022. The authorization remaining at March 31, 2024 does not reflect the applicable excise tax payable. Under these authorizations, MetLife, Inc. may purchase its common stock from the MetLife Policyholder Trust, in the open market (including pursuant to the terms of a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), and in privately negotiated transactions. Common stock repurchases are subject to the discretion of MetLife, Inc.’s Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company’s capital position, liquidity, financial strength and credit ratings, general market conditions, the market price of MetLife, Inc.’s common stock compared to management’s assessment of the stock’s underlying value, applicable regulatory approvals, and other legal and accounting factors. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, MetLife, Inc. repurchased 16,898,239 shares and 11,612,945 shares of its common stock, respectively, through open market purchases for $1.2 billion and $780 million, respectively, excluding applicable excise tax. The excise tax is reflected in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of the common stock repurchased. See Note 20 for information on a subsequent common stock repurchase authorization. Stock-Based Compensation Plans Performance Shares and Performance Units Final Performance Shares are paid in shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock. Final Performance Units are payable in cash equal to the closing price of MetLife, Inc. common stock on a date following the last day of the three-year performance period. The performance factor for the January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2023 performance period was 147.5%, which was determined within a possible range from 0% to 175%. This factor has been applied to the 1,048,303 Performance Shares and 118,848 Performance Units associated with that performance period that vested on December 31, 2023. As a result, in the first quarter of 2024, MetLife, Inc. issued 1,546,247 shares of its common stock (less withholding for taxes and other items, as applicable), excluding shares that payees choose to defer, and MetLife, Inc. or its affiliates paid the cash value of 175,301 Performance Units (less withholding for taxes and other items, as applicable). Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Information regarding changes in the balances of each component of AOCI attributable to MetLife, Inc. was as follows:
