DES MOINES, Iowa, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (NYSE: FG) ("F&G" or the "Company"), a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a new three-year stock repurchase program, effective March 21, 2023, under which the Company may repurchase up to $25 million of FG common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time by the Company in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions through March 21, 2026.

Chris Blunt, President and Chief Executive Officer of F&G, commented, "As we have executed on our business plan to double assets under management and earnings per share by expanding our business into new channels of distribution in advance of our original target timeframe, the market has been slow to recognize the value that has been created.  As a result, our Board of Directors has authorized a $25 million share repurchase program to take advantage of our shares currently trading at a significant discount to intrinsic value.  Our share repurchase plan will complement our Board's recent $100 million annual dividend authorization which, taken together, demonstrates our commitment to creating shareholder value through a healthy return of capital to our shareholders."
