Chris Nixon to Retire After Distinguished Career Spanning More Than Three Decades

Corebridge Financial, Inc. (NYSE: CRBG) today announced that Polly Klane will join the company as General Counsel in February. Reporting to Chief Executive Officer Kevin Hogan, Klane will oversee Corebridge’s legal, compliance, regulatory, corporate secretary and government affairs functions. She will also serve as a member of the company’s Executive Leadership Team. Klane will assume responsibilities from Christine Nixon who announced her retirement last year after more than 30 years of dedicated service to the company. Nixon will continue with Corebridge through the first quarter to ensure a smooth transition.

“We’re excited to welcome Polly to Corebridge,” said Hogan. “Her impressive background combined with her business and technology acumen brings tremendous value to Corebridge as we continue to evolve and innovate in an ever-changing business environment.”

Throughout her career, Klane has served as a critical business partner to the Boards and senior management teams of major publicly traded finance and technology-focused organizations. Most recently, she was General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer of Citizens Financial Group. She also held senior legal roles at Capital One and Fannie Mae and worked in private practice.

Nixon’s departure comes after a distinguished legal career, including many leadership roles with Corebridge and its predecessor companies. She joined SunAmerica Inc. in 1993 and then American International Group, Inc. in 1999 when AIG acquired SunAmerica. Nixon became General Counsel for AIG Life & Retirement in 2010, a role she continued as General Counsel for Corebridge.

“Chris has been critical not just in the creation and development of Corebridge but also in positioning our company for continued success as we help more people take action in their financial lives,” said Hogan. “On behalf of all my colleagues at Corebridge, we wish Chris the very best and send our deepest appreciation for her leadership, service and customer commitment.”
