Summary
Chubb Limited (CB) filed an 8-K report on January 20, 2022, to announce the effectiveness of its previously approved share capital reduction. This reduction, which involved the cancellation of 14,465,400 repurchased shares from the first half of 2021, was formally enacted through an amendment to Article 3(a) of the Company's Articles of Association.

As of January 17, 2022, these conditions have been met, making the share capital reduction and the amended Articles of Association official.
