Detailed results of the vote for the election of directors are set out below.

At the meeting, our company’s shareholders approved a resolution authorizing the change of our name from “Brookfield Reinsurance” to “Brookfield Wealth Solutions” at a time to be determined by the board.

Shareholders also approved bye-law amendments designed to simplify and enhance our capital structure, including a re-designation of our class A-1 exchangeable non-voting shares into class A shares of our company and related changes to the terms of the class A shares that will result in no shareholder having the power to vote more than 9.9% of the class A shares, regardless of economic ownership. We currently anticipate implementing the bye-law amendments during the third fiscal quarter of 2024 and will provide at least 5 days’ advance notice of the effective date by press release.

Shareholders further approved an escrowed stock plan of the company. Brookfield Reinsurance and Brookfield Corporation have each received exemptive relief (as described in our management information circular available through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, on Brookfield Reinsurance’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on Brookfield Reinsurance’s website at bnre.brookfield.com) from the Ontario Securities Commission, as principal regulator, in connection with implementation of the escrowed stock plan.

All other matters put forth at the meeting were approved by shareholder vote and a summary of all votes cast by shareholders represented at the company’s annual general and special meeting of shareholders is available electronically on EDGAR on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov or on Brookfield Reinsurance’s SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
