to consider and vote on: (1) a proposal (the “Equitable Merger Agreement Proposal”) to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger
(as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Equitable, Corebridge Financial, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Corebridge”), Mountain Holding, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Corebridge
(“New Equitable”), Palisade Holding, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Equitable,

and (2) a proposal (the “Equitable Advisory Compensation Proposal”) to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation
that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Equitable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement.
As of the close of business on June 22, 2026, the
record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting, there were 272,958,142 shares
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Equitable (“Equitable Common Stock”) issued and outstanding, each of which
was entitled to one vote on all matters properly submitted to holders of record of Equitable Common Stock at the Special Meeting. A total
of 240,939,623 shares of Equitable Common Stock, representing approximately 88.27% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equitable Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present in person or by proxy
at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum to conduct business.
The following is a summary of the voting results of
the matters voted on at the Special Meeting based on the final, certified report of the voting results by the independent inspector of
elections.

Equitable Merger Agreement Proposal. The following votes were cast at the Special Meeting (in person or by proxy) and the proposal
was approved:

In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company
also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal (the “Equitable Adjournment Proposal”) to approve the adjournment of the
Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient shares of Equitable Common Stock represented (either in person
or by proxy) and voting at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Equitable Merger Agreement Proposal. As there were sufficient
votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Equitable Merger Agreement Proposal, the Equitable Adjournment Proposal was unnecessary
and such proposal was not submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting.
No other business properly came before the Special
Meeting.
