companies&#8217; stockholders. New Equitable will have $1.5 trillion in assets under management and administration across Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Asset Management, Wealth Management, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets. We
believe that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will benefit both the holders of Corebridge Common Stock (the &#8220;<U>Corebridge Common Stockholders</U>&#8221;) and the holders of Equitable Common Stock (the &#8220;<U>Equitable

be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of New Equitable Common Stock will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share, calculated based on the average of the daily volume weighted average price per share of New Equitable Common

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;8, 2026, Corebridge, Equitable and Nippon Life Insurance Company, a mutual company (<I>sougogaisha</I>) organized under the laws
of Japan (&#8220;<U>Nippon Life</U>&#8221;), entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the &#8220;<U>Voting and Support Agreement</U>&#8221;) in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The
Voting and Support Agreement provides that Nippon Life, subject to certain limited qualifications, will vote Covered Stock in favor of, and take certain other actions (or not take certain other actions, as applicable) in furtherance of, the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. As used herein, &#8220;<U>Covered Stock</U>&#8221; means the number of shares of Corebridge Common Stock that Nippon Life (a)&nbsp;owns of record and/or beneficially (within the meaning of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Rule&nbsp;13d-3</FONT> under the Exchange Act) on the record date for the Corebridge Special Meeting and (b)&nbsp;has the right and ability to vote (or to direct the vote of) on the Covered Proposals (as defined in the
Voting and Support Agreement) on the record date for the Corebridge Special Meeting. Nippon Life has agreed in the Voting and Support Agreement not to transfer any Covered Stock prior to the approval of the Merger Agreement by Corebridge Common
Stockholders at the Corebridge Special Meeting, subject to certain exceptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of June&nbsp;1, 2026, the shares of Covered Stock that

upon the earlier of the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and certain other specified events. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Voting and Support Agreement contains a covenant that provides that Nippon Life will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain regulatory
and governmental approvals in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In connection therewith, Nippon Life agreed to keep Corebridge and Equitable apprised of any substantive communication with regulators and the status
of such regulatory and governmental approvals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Voting and Support Agreement provides that, at the Closing of the

agreement (the &#8220;<U>New Nippon Life Registration Rights Agreement</U>&#8221;), in each case, substantially in the form attached to the Voting and Support Agreement. Upon the entry into such agreements (as applicable), the Stockholder&#8217;s
Agreement, dated as of December&nbsp;9, 2024, by and between Nippon Life and Corebridge (the &#8220;<U>Existing Nippon Life Stockholder&#8217;s Agreement</U>&#8221;) will automatically terminate (in accordance with its terms) and the Registration

allocation of the purchase price is estimated and is dependent upon estimates of certain valuations that are subject to change. In addition, the final purchase price will not be known until the date of the completion of the Mergers and could vary
materially from the preliminary purchase price. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustments presented. </P>

acquisition accounting adjustments, including the effect of changes in Equitable&#8217;s carrying value for assets and liabilities. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at
least annually, and all tangible and intangible assets including goodwill will be tested for impairment when certain indicators are present. If, in the future, New Equitable determines that tangible or intangible assets (including goodwill) are
impaired, New Equitable would record an impairment charge at that time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc115497_34"></A>U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

together, will be treated as a transaction described in Section&nbsp;351 of the Code. If any of the representations, assumptions, covenants or undertakings underlying any of the tax opinions described in this paragraph is or becomes incorrect,
incomplete, inaccurate or is violated, the validity of, and the conclusions reached in, the tax opinions described above may be affected or jeopardized and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers could differ materially from those
described below. In addition, the opinions will be subject to certain qualifications and limitations as set forth therein. Moreover, none of the tax opinions given in connection with the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this
joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part or in connection with the Closing of the Mergers will be binding on the Internal Revenue Service (&#8220;<U>IRS</U>&#8221;) or any court. Neither Corebridge nor Equitable has sought or will seek any ruling
from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth below. In
addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which such opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers could be adversely affected. If such an exchange fails to
qualify as a transaction described in Section&nbsp;351 of the Code, then a U.S. holder (as that term is defined in the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled &#8220;<I>U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences</I>&#8221; beginning on

Equitable Common Stock, as applicable. Any such gain would be capital gain and generally would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder&#8217;s holding period for the Corebridge Common Stock or the Equitable Common Stock exceeded one year at the

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Corebridge is soliciting proxies to provide an opportunity to Corebridge Common Stockholders to vote on agenda items, whether or not the
stockholders are able to attend the Corebridge Special Meeting or an adjournment or postponement thereof. Corebridge will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from its stockholders. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail,
Corebridge will ask banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Corebridge Common Stock held of record by such nominee holders. Corebridge may be
required to reimburse these nominee holders for their customary clerical and mailing expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Corebridge has retained Innisfree to assist in the solicitation process. Corebridge estimates that it will pay Innisfree a fee of
approximately $180,000 plus reimbursement for costs and expenses. Corebridge also has agreed to indemnify Innisfree against various liabilities and expenses that relate to or arise out of its solicitation of proxies (subject to certain exceptions).
In addition to solicitation by mail, Corebridge&#8217;s directors, officers and other employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, electronically, by mail or other means. These persons will not be specifically compensated for doing so.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the ordinary course of business, the management and board of directors of each of Corebridge and Equitable regularly review, assess and
discuss developments in their respective companies&#8217; industry segments, their companies&#8217; performance, strategy and competitive positioning in the industries in which they operate, and strategic options available to their companies&#8217;
businesses in light of economic and market conditions, with a view towards enhancing stockholder value. As part of each company&#8217;s ongoing review and assessment, representatives of each of Corebridge and Equitable have, from time to time,
considered and discussed a range of strategic options to increase stockholder value, including the potential for business combinations, alliances and other transactions in order to further the strategic objectives of their respective companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the course of its assessments, including the discussions and negotiations with Equitable as described herein, the Corebridge board of
directors developed a view that the Mergers would create a leading retirement, life insurance and wealth and asset management platform, resulting in Corebridge being able to better serve its clients and deliver value for its stockholders. The
Corebridge board of directors considered a range of potential alternatives reasonably available to Corebridge, whether through organic growth or acquisitions or remaining a standalone public company. The Corebridge board of directors viewed
Equitable as a desirable potential merger partner due to its reputation, size, cultural compatibility, and complementary businesses, products, balance sheet, and ownership of and partnership with AllianceBernstein, a leading global asset management
company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the course of its assessments, including the discussions and negotiations with Corebridge as described herein, the
Equitable board of directors similarly developed a view that greater scale and breadth could provide significant financial and strategic benefits and allow Equitable to better serve its clients and deliver value for its stockholders. The Equitable
board of directors considered a range of potential transactions that could enhance scale across Equitable&#8217;s retirement, asset management, and wealth management businesses. To add scale and breadth to its retirement business, the Equitable
board of directors viewed Corebridge as a desirable potential merger partner due to its outstanding reputation, size, cultural compatibility, and complementary businesses, products, and balance sheet, as well as the likely benefit to
Equitable&#8217;s flywheel business model from revenue synergies with Equitable&#8217;s asset management and wealth management businesses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Equitable considered a potential combination with Corebridge in early 2023 and approached Corebridge&#8217;s then-parent company. In various
meetings since that time, the Equitable board of directors discussed the possibility of exploring a potential combination with Corebridge among other strategic options. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;18, 2025, Mr.&nbsp;Alan Colberg, the Chairperson of the Corebridge board of directors, and Mr.&nbsp;Mark Pearson, the Chief
Executive Officer of Equitable, held a meeting to explore possible interest in a potential transaction between Corebridge and Equitable. During this meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Pearson and Mr.&nbsp;Colberg discussed the life insurance industry and areas of
mutual interest between the two companies. On September&nbsp;9, 2025, Mr.&nbsp;Pearson provided an update regarding this meeting to the Equitable board of directors. Subsequently, on September&nbsp;16, 2025, Mr.&nbsp;Colberg and Ms.&nbsp;Joan
Lamm-Tennant, Chairperson of the Equitable board of directors, held a similar exploratory meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In November 2025, Mr.&nbsp;Pearson
provided another update to the Equitable board of directors regarding the status of a potential transaction with Corebridge. Mr.&nbsp;Pearson proposed to the Equitable board of directors that at some point after Mr.&nbsp;Marc Costantini&#8217;s
appointment as the new Corebridge Chief Executive Officer took effect, he would reach out to Mr.&nbsp;Costantini, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Corebridge, to request a meeting. </P>

this meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Pearson and Ms.&nbsp;Lamm-Tennant presented their views on a potential governance framework for the combined company consistent with a merger of equals, including the possibility of Mr.&nbsp;Costantini serving as President and
Chief Executive Officer and Mr.&nbsp;Pearson serving as Executive Chair of the combined company. Messrs. Costantini and Colberg suggested at this meeting that the combined company board of directors should initially be comprised of six directors
designated by Corebridge and six directors designated by Equitable, with the 13th director being the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. The parties discussed the possibility of Mr.&nbsp;Colberg serving as the lead independent director
of the combined company and discussed the possibility of the combined company forming a four-person executive committee chaired by the Executive Chair and including the current chairs and chief executive officers of each of Equitable and Corebridge.
All parties expressed alignment on the transaction being structured as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">no-premium,</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-stock</FONT> merger of equals. </P>

each of Paul, Weiss and Goldman Sachs in attendance. Mr.&nbsp;Pearson provided the Equitable board of directors with an update on the meetings that had been held with Mr.&nbsp;Costantini and Mr.&nbsp;Colberg, noting that a potential transaction with
Corebridge was a unique opportunity, but further discussions would be necessary to progress a potential transaction. Discussion ensued regarding the state of the life insurance industry, the potential strategic benefits of the potential transaction,
including potential synergies and the anticipated financial profile of the combined company, as well as other potential strategic transactions Equitable might consider. Following discussion, the Equitable board of directors expressed its support for
Equitable management and advisors to continue to evaluate a potential transaction with Corebridge. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;22, January&nbsp;28,
and February&nbsp;11, 2026, Messrs. Costantini and Pearson held meetings to continue their discussion of the potential strategic benefits and industrial logic of a potential merger of equals between the two companies. They also continued to discuss
governance terms consistent with a merger of equals, including whether the combined company board of directors would have an even number of directors designated by each of Corebridge and Equitable, and the potential roles and responsibilities of the
Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chair and Lead Independent Director of the combined company board of directors. As part of such conversations, Messrs. Costantini and Pearson also discussed the cultural fit and value alignment between the two
organizations and how Equitable&#8217;s partnership with AllianceBernstein would fit into the combined company, and how to ensure that AllianceBernstein would benefit and grow from the potential combination. </P>

Merger Agreement circulated by Paul, Weiss), (i) in the case of Blackstone, in light of Blackstone&#8217;s prior commitment to certain insurance regulators, unrelated to the potential transaction, that it will not vote its shares of Corebridge
Common Stock on any matter submitted to Corebridge stockholders and (ii)&nbsp;in the case of AIG, in light of AIG&#8217;s ongoing sell-down of its shares of Corebridge Common Stock and generally declining ownership in Corebridge. </P>

(iv)&nbsp;a trading update; and (v)&nbsp;preliminary valuation analysis. Representatives of Skadden summarized the terms of the Merger Agreement and provided a legal due diligence update. The Corebridge board of directors further discussed the
governance terms of the combined company. The Corebridge board of directors also reviewed an updated summary of Morgan Stanley&#8217;s material relationships with Corebridge, certain significant stockholders of Corebridge, Equitable and
AllianceBernstein as of March&nbsp;16, 2026, and determined that the updates to Morgan Stanley&#8217;s relationship disclosures were not material and that the Corebridge board of directors continued to believe that Morgan Stanley could provide
objective advice to Corebridge in light of these relationships. The Corebridge board of directors discussed the terms of the potential transaction and whether macroeconomic factors and the parties&#8217; relative market capitalizations and other
factors were favorable to undertake a potential transaction at this time. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Corebridge board of directors determined to continue its review of the potential transaction at its next meeting and instructed

Corebridge board of directors at its special meeting on March&nbsp;25, 2026, its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated March&nbsp;25, 2026, that, as of that date, and based upon and subject to the various

value of a company by comparing each of Corebridge and Equitable to a group of selected companies with similar characteristics to Corebridge and Equitable, respectively. Morgan Stanley compared certain financial information of Corebridge and
Equitable with publicly available information for the applicable group of selected companies described below. The selected companies were chosen based on Morgan Stanley&#8217;s knowledge of the industry and because these companies have businesses
that may be considered similar to the business of Corebridge or Equitable, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No company used as a comparison in the
comparable companies analysis is identical to Corebridge or Equitable, respectively. In evaluating the groups of selected companies described below, Morgan Stanley made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business,
economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Corebridge and Equitable. These factors include the impact of competition on the business of Corebridge or Equitable, as applicable, or the industry
generally, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in the financial condition and prospects of Corebridge or Equitable, as applicable, or the industry or in the financial markets in general. Mathematical analysis, such as
determining the average or median, is not in itself a meaningful method of using peer group data. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.

comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley
considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Morgan Stanley believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a
whole, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Morgan Stanley may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors and may have deemed various
assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Morgan Stanley&#8217;s view of the actual value of Corebridge,
Equitable, New Equitable or AllianceBernstein Holding. In performing its analyses, Morgan Stanley made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters. Many of these assumptions
are beyond the control of Corebridge and Equitable. Any estimates contained in Morgan Stanley&#8217;s analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested
by such estimates. Morgan Stanley conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness of the Corebridge Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Merger Agreement from a financial point of view to the holders (other than
Equitable and its affiliates) of Corebridge Common Stock and in connection with the delivery of its opinion to the Corebridge board of directors. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which shares of New
Equitable Common Stock, Corebridge Common Stock, Equitable Common Stock or Alliance Bernstein Units might actually trade. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The merger

of which is contingent upon completion of the Mergers. Corebridge has also agreed to reimburse Morgan Stanley for certain of its expenses incurred in performing its services. In addition, Corebridge has agreed to indemnify Morgan Stanley and its
affiliates, their respective directors, officers, agents and employees and each person, if any, controlling Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities
laws, related to or arising out of Morgan Stanley&#8217;s engagement. In the two years prior to the date of its opinion, Morgan Stanley and its affiliates: (i)&nbsp;have provided financial advisory and financing services unrelated to the Mergers for
Corebridge and have received aggregate fees in connection with such services of between $20&nbsp;million and $40&nbsp;million; (ii)&nbsp;have provided financing services unrelated to the Mergers for Equitable and have received aggregate fees in
connection with such services of between $2&nbsp;million and $5&nbsp;million; (iii)&nbsp;have provided financial advisory and financing services unrelated to the Mergers for AllianceBernstein Holding and have received aggregate fees in connection

discussions regarding the Mergers, each of Corebridge and Equitable supplied the other with certain unaudited forecasted business and financial information that was not publicly available. Corebridge management provided the Corebridge board of
directors, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Equitable with certain unaudited financial projections for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and extrapolations thereof for fiscal years 2028 and 2029, which were prepared by, and are the responsibility of,
Corebridge management, and which are referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, collectively, as the &#8220;<U>Corebridge Projections</U>.&#8221; The Corebridge Projections were prepared, treating Corebridge on a standalone basis, without
giving effect to, and as if Corebridge never contemplated, the Mergers, including the impact of negotiating or executing the Merger Agreement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the Mergers, the potential synergies
that may be achieved as a result of the Mergers, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions
or actions that would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Mergers. The Corebridge Projections were prepared on the basis of
estimates and assumptions made at the time of its preparation, and speak only to the judgments and projections made on the basis of the currently-available information as of such time. The Corebridge Projections were not prepared in the same manner
or process used by Corebridge or Equitable for budgeting or other planning purposes. In order to assist the Corebridge board of directors in its evaluation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Corebridge board of directors

readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information. The Corebridge Projections and the Projected Synergies are based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of
those preparing them, and reflect various assumptions made at the time such information was prepared, including, but not limited to, certain assumptions regarding industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial
conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Corebridge and Equitable&#8217;s respective businesses, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Corebridge, Equitable and New Equitable.
While presented with numerical specificity, the Corebridge Projections and the Projected Synergies reflect assumptions, estimates and judgments that are inherently uncertain. These assumptions, estimates and judgments may prove to be inaccurate for
any number of reasons, including general economic conditions, competition, and the risks discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus under the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled &#8220;<I>Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statement</I>s&#8221; and &#8220;<I>Risk Factors</I>&#8221; beginning on pages&nbsp;58 and 44, respectively. The Corebridge Projections and the Projected Synergies reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject
to change. Because the Corebridge Projections were developed for Corebridge on a standalone basis without giving effect to the Mergers, they do not reflect any restrictions that may be imposed in connection with the receipt of any necessary
regulatory approvals or clearances, any synergies that may be realized as a result of the Mergers or any changes to Corebridge&#8217;s operations or strategy that may be implemented after completion of the Mergers. There can be no assurance that the
Corebridge Projections will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those shown. Generally, the further out the period to which the Corebridge Projections and the Projected Synergies relate, the more unreliable the information
becomes. Furthermore, the Corebridge Projections and the Projected Synergies set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may differ from publicized analyst estimates and forecasts for Corebridge or Equitable and do not take into account any
circumstances or events occurring after the date on which they were prepared. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that Corebridge, the Corebridge board of directors, Equitable, the Equitable board of directors,
any of their respective advisors or any other person considered, or now considers, it to be material or to be a reliable prediction of actual future results, which may be significantly more favorable or less favorable. </P>

as to its future performance, revenues, earnings or other results due to, among other reasons, the unpredictability, uncertainty and subjectivity of the underlying assumptions and estimates inherent in preparing any forecasts and financial
projections. However, in connection with the discussions regarding the Mergers, each of Corebridge and Equitable supplied the other with certain unaudited forecasted business and financial information that was not publicly available. Equitable
management provided the Equitable board of directors, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Corebridge with certain unaudited financial projections for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and extrapolations thereof for fiscal years 2028 and 2029, which were
prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Equitable management, and which are referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, collectively, as the &#8220;<U>Equitable Projections</U>.&#8221; The Equitable Projections were prepared, treating
Equitable on a standalone basis, without giving effect to, and as if Equitable never contemplated, the Mergers, including the impact of negotiating or executing the Merger Agreement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating
the Mergers, the potential synergies that may be achieved as a result of the Mergers, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect
of any business or strategic decisions or actions that would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Mergers. The Equitable
Projections were prepared on the basis of estimates and assumptions made at the time of its preparation, and speak only to the judgments and projections made on the basis of the currently-available information as of such time. The Equitable
Projections were not prepared in the same manner or process used by Equitable or Corebridge for budgeting or other planning purposes. In order to assist the Equitable board of directors in its evaluation of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, the Equitable board of directors approved for use by Goldman Sachs the Equitable Projections and the Corebridge Projections for purposes of Goldman Sachs&#8217; opinion and financial analyses. </P>

statement/prospectus to influence your decision whether to vote for the Equitable Merger Agreement Proposal, the Equitable Advisory Compensation Proposal, the Corebridge Merger Agreement Proposal, the Corebridge Advisory Compensation Proposal or the
Corebridge ESPP Proposal, but because the Equitable Projections and the Projected Synergies were shared between Equitable and Corebridge and provided to Equitable and Corebridge&#8217;s respective financial advisors and boards of directors for
purposes of considering and evaluating the Mergers and the Merger Agreement. The prospective financial information included herein has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Equitable&#8217;s management. Neither PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying prospective financial information and, accordingly, neither

readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information. The Equitable Projections and the Projected Synergies are based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of
those preparing them, and reflect various assumptions made at the time such information was prepared, including, but not limited to, certain assumptions regarding industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial
conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Equitable and Corebridge&#8217;s respective businesses, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Equitable, Corebridge and New Equitable.
While presented with numerical specificity, the Equitable Projections and the Projected Synergies reflect assumptions, estimates and judgments that are inherently uncertain. These assumptions, estimates and judgments may prove to be inaccurate for
any number of reasons, including general economic conditions, competition, and the risks discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus under the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled &#8220;<I>Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statement</I>s&#8221; and &#8220;<I>Risk Factors</I>&#8221; beginning on pages&nbsp;58 and 44, respectively. The Equitable Projections and the Projected Synergies reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject
to change. Because the Equitable Projections were developed for Equitable on a standalone basis without giving effect to the Mergers, they do not reflect any restrictions that may be imposed in connection with the receipt of any necessary regulatory
approvals or clearances, any synergies that may be realized as a result of the Mergers or any changes to Equitable&#8217;s operations or strategy that may be implemented after completion of the Mergers. There can be no assurance that the Equitable
Projections will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those shown. Generally, the further out the period to which the Equitable Projections and the Projected Synergies relate, the more unreliable the information becomes.
Furthermore, the Equitable Projections and the Projected Synergies set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may differ from publicized analyst estimates and forecasts for Equitable or Corebridge and do not take into account any
circumstances or events occurring after the date on which they were prepared. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that Equitable, the Equitable board of directors, Corebridge, the Corebridge board of directors,
any of their respective advisors or any other person considered, or now considers, it to be material or to be a reliable prediction of actual future results, which may be significantly more favorable or less favorable. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Equitable uses a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP for
forecasting, budgeting and measuring operating performance, including adjusted <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> operating income, adjusted <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">after-tax</FONT> operating income and operating EPS. Equitable
believes that presentation of these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures allows for a deeper understanding of the profitability drivers of Equitable&#8217;s business and results of operations. These measures should be
considered supplementary to Equitable&#8217;s results of operations that are presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures
Equitable presents may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies (including Corebridge). Equitable and Corebridge stockholders should also note that the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial
measures presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Equitable or Corebridge&#8217;s results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP. Equitable and Corebridge stockholders should also note that the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus have no standardized meaning
prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to stockholders. Due to the inherent limitations of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures, Equitable and Corebridge stockholders should consider <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Financial measures included in forecasts (including the Equitable Projections) provided to a financial advisor are excluded from the
definition of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#8220;non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures&#8221; under the rules of the SEC if and to the extent such financial measures are included in the forecasts provided to the financial advisor for the purpose
of rendering an opinion that is materially related to a business combination transaction and the forecasts are being disclosed in order to comply with the SEC rules or requirements under state or foreign law, including case law regarding disclosure
of the financial advisor&#8217;s analyses. Therefore, the Equitable Projections are not subject to the SEC rules regarding disclosures of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures, which would otherwise require a
reconciliation of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures were not relied upon by either Goldman Sachs
or Morgan Stanley for purposes of its respective opinion to the Equitable board of directors or the Corebridge board of directors, as applicable, as described in the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled &#8220;<I>The

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When considering the recommendation of the Equitable board of directors, Equitable stockholders should be aware that directors and executive
officers of Equitable have certain interests in the Mergers that may be different from or in addition to the interests of Equitable stockholders generally. The interests of Equitable&#8217;s directors and executive officers include, among others,
that certain of Equitable&#8217;s directors are expected to serve as directors on the New Equitable board of directors, that certain of Equitable&#8217;s executive officers are expected to become executive officers of New Equitable, the treatment in
the Mergers of Equitable Options, Equitable RSUs, Equitable Performance Shares and Equitable ESPP Options and that Equitable&#8217;s directors and executive officers will be provided continued indemnification and insurance coverage. The Equitable
board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Equitable board of directors considered these
interests in recommending that the Equitable Common Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. </P>

unvested AllianceBernstein Holding Units is determined by multiplying the number of units by $37.24, which is the average closing market price per share of AllianceBernstein Holding Units as quoted on the NYSE over the first five trading dates

805. The total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective fair values. The allocation of the purchase price is estimated and is dependent upon estimates of certain
valuations that are subject to change. In addition, the final purchase price will not be known until the date of the completion of the Mergers and could vary materially from the preliminary purchase price. Accordingly, the final acquisition
accounting adjustments may be materially different from the preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustments presented. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The financial
condition and results of operations of New Equitable after completion of the Mergers will include the operating results of Equitable beginning from the Closing date but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial condition
or results of operations of Equitable. The earnings of New Equitable following completion of the Mergers will reflect acquisition accounting adjustments, including the effect of changes in Equitable&#8217;s carrying value for assets and liabilities.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually, and all tangible and intangible assets including goodwill will be tested for impairment when certain indicators are
present. If, in the future, New Equitable determines that tangible or intangible assets (including goodwill) are impaired, New Equitable would record an impairment charge at that time. </P>

companies. Corebridge must first obtain the affirmative vote on the Corebridge Merger Agreement Proposal of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Corebridge Common Stock entitled to vote on such proposal. Similarly, Equitable must
first obtain the affirmative vote on the Equitable Merger Agreement Proposal of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Equitable Common Stock entitled to vote on such proposal. Additionally, both Corebridge and Equitable must obtain
necessary regulatory approvals or clearances for the Mergers and satisfy certain other closing conditions. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corebridge board of directors has proposed to adopt the Corebridge ESPP to offer employees of Corebridge and eligible affiliates the
opportunity to purchase Corebridge Common Stock at a discounted price as an incentive for continued employment and to help align their interests with those of Corebridge stockholders. Corebridge Common Stockholder approval of the Corebridge ESPP is
also being sought for the purpose of qualifying certain shares of Corebridge Common Stock issued under the Corebridge ESPP for special tax treatment under Section&nbsp;423 of the Code. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corebridge ESPP is designed to provide eligible employees of Corebridge and its designated affiliates with the opportunity to purchase
shares of Corebridge Common Stock on periodic purchase dates through accumulated payroll deductions, and to allow U.S.-based employees of Corebridge and its designated affiliates to make such purchases in a manner that receives favorable tax
treatment under Section&nbsp;423 of the Code. The Corebridge ESPP also authorizes grants of purchase rights to eligible employees that are not intended to satisfy the requirements for an &#8220;employee stock purchase plan&#8221; under
Section&nbsp;423 of the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Corebridge management believes that maintaining a competitive employee stock purchase plan is an important
element in recruiting, motivating and retaining Corebridge employees. The Corebridge ESPP is designed to more closely align the interests of Corebridge employees with those of Corebridge stockholders by encouraging employees to invest in Corebridge
Common Stock, and to help Corebridge employees share in the company&#8217;s success through the appreciation in value of such purchased stock. The Corebridge ESPP, together with the 2022 Corebridge Omnibus Incentive Plan, are important employee
retention and recruitment vehicles. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of June&nbsp;22, 2026, approximately 4,770 employees would be eligible to participate in the

income tax deduction, for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal in amount to such excess. The participant will also recognize capital gain or loss to the extent the amount realized upon the sale or disposition of the shares of
Corebridge Common Stock differs from the sum of the aggregate purchase price paid for those shares of Corebridge Common Stock and the ordinary income recognized upon their disposition. </P>

subject to Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL. In general, Section&nbsp;203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a &#8220;business combination&#8221; with an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; for
a period of three years following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (a)&nbsp;prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (b)&nbsp;upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of
the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (but not for purposes of determining the number of shares owned by the interested stockholder) (i)&nbsp;shares
owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii)&nbsp;shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a
tender or exchange offer; or (c)&nbsp;at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66
2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, a &#8220;business combination&#8221;
includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder (other than on a pro rata basis with other stockholders). Subject to certain exceptions, an &#8220;interested
stockholder&#8221; is a person who, together with that person&#8217;s affiliates and associates, &#8220;owns&#8221; or if such person is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, within three years prior to the determination of interested
stockholder status, did &#8220;own&#8221; 15% or more of a corporation&#8217;s outstanding voting stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under certain circumstances,
Section&nbsp;203 makes it more difficult for a person who would be an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Accordingly, Section&nbsp;203 could have an anti-takeover
effect with respect to certain transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance or certain transactions with &#8220;interested stockholders&#8221; who have not been approved by the board of directors prior to becoming an interested
stockholder. The provisions of Section&nbsp;203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors to avoid the restrictions on business combinations that would apply if the stockholder became an
interested stockholder. However, Section&nbsp;203 also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of New Equitable Common Stock held by stockholders. These provisions also may have the effect of
preventing changes in our board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests. </P>

the stockholder became an interested stockholder. However, Section&nbsp;203 also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of New Equitable Common Stock. These provisions also may have the effect
of preventing changes in the New Equitable board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.</P></TD></TR>

the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for
purposes of computing such person&#8217;s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person&#8217;s percentage. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to
be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. The beneficial owners listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to shares beneficially owned, except as otherwise indicated. </P>

would record an impairment charge at that time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Basis of Pro Forma Presentation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information appearing below does not consider any potential effects of changes in market
conditions on revenues, projected cost savings, restructuring or integration-related costs to achieve potential cost savings, among other factors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements
and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma adjustments reflect transaction accounting adjustments related to the Mergers, which are discussed in
further detail below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent the combined company&#8217;s consolidated results of operations or consolidated
financial position that would actually have occurred had the Mergers been consummated on the dates assumed or to project the combined company&#8217;s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position for any future date or
period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The assets and liabilities of Equitable have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that
Corebridge believes are reasonable and are based only on currently available information. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient
information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these
preliminary estimates and the final purchase accounting will occur, and the final purchase accounting could be materially different from the preliminary estimates used to prepare the below unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
and could have a material impact on the combined company&#8217;s future results of operations and financial position. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Corebridge intends
to commence the necessary valuation and other studies required to complete the acquisition accounting promptly upon completion of the Mergers and will finalize the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable within the required measurement period,
but in no event later than one year following completion of the Mergers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Equitable and Corebridge have not had any historical material
relationship prior to the Mergers. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies. </P>

that may become known once a full valuation study is performed and/or by changes in such factors that may occur prior to completion of the Mergers. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the regulatory, legislative, legal,
technological and/or competitive environments. Increased knowledge about these and/or other elements could result in a change to the estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets from what Corebridge has assumed in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial information. The combined effect of any such changes could then also result in a significant increase or decrease to Corebridge&#8217;s estimate of associated amortization expense. Since the determination of
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are inherently linked, any change to the identifiable intangibles is expected to materially offset with a corresponding change in goodwill, the balances are presented together in the accompanying unaudited
