Prudential
Financial Provides Update on FSA Orders and Path Forward for its Japan Businesses
•
Business suspension order received from Japan’s Financial Services Agency (“FSA”) for
Prudential of Japan (“POJ”) extends the period in which it cannot solicit new business to January
31, 2027, and partial business suspension order for Gibraltar Life (“Gibraltar”) applies to its Life
Consultant channel through the same date
•
Business improvement orders also received from the FSA require submission and execution of business
improvement plans from Prudential Holdings of Japan (“PHJ”), POJ, and Gibraltar
•
Prudential Financial’s Chairman
& CEO and CFO will host a conference call with
the investment community today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the orders, the estimated financial impacts, and the path ahead
TOKYO,
JAPAN/NEWARK, N.J., October
9, 2026
– The Prudential Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Prudential of Japan” or “POJ”), Gibraltar Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Gibraltar”), and Prudential
Holdings of Japan, Inc. (“PHJ”), subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (
NYSE: PRU
) (“Prudential Financial”), announced today the receipt of business suspension and improvement orders issued by Japan’s
Financial Services Agency (“FSA”).
The FSA issued business suspension and business improvement orders to POJ and business improvement and
partial business suspension orders to Gibraltar. The orders to both businesses were issued under Article 132, Paragraph 1 of the Insurance Business Act (Act No. 105 of 1995) (the “IBA”). In addition, the FSA issued a business
improvement order to PHJ under Article
271-29,
Paragraph 1 of the IBA.
In POJ, the business suspension order
extends the period in which POJ cannot solicit new business to January 31, 2027, to allow additional time to advance the remediation actions already underway. Both the Special Investigation Committee’s investigation, as previously
disclosed on October 8, 2026, and the FSA’s inspection findings examined the conditions that contributed to the misconduct in POJ. The findings validated the priorities established at the beginning of the voluntary suspension to
strengthen governance and accountability, enhance the sales model to place greater emphasis on customer outcomes, simplify the organization, and reinforce a culture of accountability, positioning POJ to deliver better customer and business outcomes.

“We once again extend our deepest apologies to the customers and all other stakeholders who have been
affected by this situation,” said
Hiromitsu Tokumaru, president and chief executive officer of Prudential of Japan
. “We are fundamentally reshaping how we operate. Through our established priorities, we are creating a business
that will be more resilient, more accountable, and better equipped to earn and maintain our customers’ trust. Our goal is to return to market with an operating model that reflects the lessons learned and positions POJ for long-term
success.”
In Gibraltar, the partial business suspension order, also concluding on January 31, 2027, applies to the Life Consultant channel and
not the independent agency channel. Gibraltar conducted outreach to over two million of its customers in recent months and continues to evaluate and enhance its operating model to ensure delivery of customer-focused outcomes.
“Gibraltar has a strong foundation, and our focus will be on making it even stronger,” said
Hiroyoshi Kaburagi, president and chief executive
officer of Gibraltar.
“As we enhance our operating model, we will do so with an unwavering commitment to serving our customers and earning their trust every day. We remain deeply committed to building on the strengths that differentiate
Gibraltar.”
Under the business improvement orders, PHJ, POJ, and Gibraltar will submit business improvement plans to the FSA by the end of November
2026 and report on their progress regularly.
“The actions we are taking are about creating a stronger foundation for the future of our Japan
businesses,” said
Brad Hearn, president and chief executive officer of Prudential Holdings of Japan
. “While POJ and Gibraltar are following paths tailored to their unique circumstances, our shared objective is clear: to strengthen
governance, enhance accountability, and restore and reinforce the customer trust that has underpinned our business in Japan for nearly four decades. As we return to market, we will do so as stronger and more resilient organizations, well positioned
to serve customers and deliver sustainable value over time.”
POJ and Gibraltar remain financially sound and able to meet their obligations. Japan
continues to be a key strategic priority and a core component of Prudential Financial’s global business portfolio, and the parent company continues to provide full support and resources as these reforms advance. The suspension does not apply
to Prudential Financial’s or PGIM’s other business units in Japan, including Prudential Gibraltar Financial Life (“PGFL”).
“Japan remains one of Prudential’s most important markets and a cornerstone of our global franchise,” said
Andy Sullivan,
chairman
and chief executive officer of Prudential Financial.
“The work underway reflects our determination not only to address current challenges, but to build an even stronger foundation for the future. By reinforcing the trust that has long
defined our relationships with customers and continuing to strengthen our businesses, we believe our Japan franchise will emerge more resilient, more competitive, and well positioned to create value for customers, employees, and shareholders for
years to come.”
