METLIFE, INC. (NYSE:MET) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

MetLife is seeking the consent of holders of its junior subordinated debentures and holders of MetLife Capital Trust IV’s trust securities to approve amendments to the related junior subordinated indentures. We have a strong balance sheet and are confident that, even in the event the consent is unsuccessful, we will be able to continue paying our common dividend and efficiently executing on our capital management plan.

MetLife’s financial priority is to deliver significant long-term value to all of our investors.Our revised Consent Solicitation offer of $10.00 per $1,000 of principal/liquidation amount owned is the maximum price that we believe delivers such long term value to all investors, and we will not make further modification to the consideration offered.
