Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed March 5, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) filed this Form 8-K on March 5, 2025, under Item 8.01 (Other Events) to confirm its previously announced first quarter 2025 dividend of $0.35516415a per share on its floating rate non-cumulative preferred stock, Series A (NYSE: MET PRA), which has a $25 liquidation preference per share.

The filing is a confirmatory announcement rather than a new capital action, and it does not change MetLife's financial results, guidance, or capital plans. Key dates for holders are as follows. The record date was February 28, 2025, which fell on a Sunday, March 2, 2025 in the release, and the dividend is payable March 17, 2025.

As of the release, the NYSE had not yet set an ex-dividend date for the Series A preferred, and it was expected to do so following the confirmation. Investors should note that the record date and ex-dividend timing determine eligibility, so holders who wish to receive the payment should confirm the exchange's ex-dividend schedule. For investors, the filing is primarily administrative.

It is relevant mainly to holders of the MET PRA preferred shares, and it reflects routine compliance with disclosure practices for a previously declared distribution. It contains no new material financial information about MetLife's operations, earnings, or balance sheet.
