Prudential Subsidiaries Face Business Suspension Orders from Japan Regulator

The Prudential Life Insurance Company, Gibraltar Life Insurance Company, and Prudential Holdings of Japan, subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, announced the receipt of business suspension and improvement orders issued by Japan's Financial Services Agency. 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). 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.
