Goodbye to Corebridge
May 14, 2026 by Allison Bell
Marc Costantini, the chief executive officer of Corebridge Financial, and Mark Pearson, the CEO of Equitable Holdings, have been talking to securities analysts this week about how their companies’ pending combination would really work.
Corebridge — a Houston-based life and annuity giant that was once owned by American International Group and came to life in 2022 — intends to acquire New York-based Equitable through a “merger of equals” that would put the headquarters of the merged company in Houston, make Costantini the CEO of the merged company and make “Equitable” the name of the merged company.
