  • Metlife Proxy Statement 2018
    MetLife, Inc. 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 April 26, 2018 Fellow Shareholders: I am writing to you for the first time in my role as MetLife’s Lead Director to share the Board’s perspective on MetLife’s performance in 2017 and how the Company is progressing with its ongoing transformation. As Directors, we are responsible for ensuring the Company’s business strategy is sound and management is executing it effectively. We plan for the Company’s future by evaluating management talent against anticipated needs and we play the unique role of acting as advocates for shareholders to ensure your interests are represented in all major decisions affecting MetLife. The feedback the Board received from shareholders during 2017 has proven invaluable as we continue to focus on creating value for shareholders. MetLife made important progress last year in several areas. The Brighthouse Financial separation opened a new chapter in MetLife’s history. As the Company focuses on less capital-intensive businesses with greater cash-generating potential, it has the opportunity to change how it is viewed and valued by investors. MetLife achieved a ratio of Core Free Cash Flow to Core Adjusted Earnings of 75 percent last year, hitting the top end of the Company’s projected range. This made it possible to return a record $4.6 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. In January, MetLife won its long-running legal battle to remove the Company’s Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) designation when the federal government dropped its appeal of the court ruling in our favor.

These initiatives represent our deep commitment to sustain our growth momentum from 2012 and achieve even bigger milestones in the coming year.
