Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 4, 2017, MetLife, Inc. (“MetLife”) distributed 96,776,670 shares of Brighthouse Financial, Inc.’s (“Brighthouse”) common stock, representing approximately 80.8% of those shares, on a pro rata basis to MetLife’s common shareholders (the “Distribution”). The record date for the Distribution was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 19, 2017. MetLife common shareholders received one share of Brighthouse common stock for every 11 shares of MetLife common stock they owned. MetLife common shareholders who owned less than 11 shares of common stock, or who would otherwise have received fractional shares, will receive cash. MetLife retained 22,996,436 shares of Brighthouse common stock. Brighthouse common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol “BHF” on August 7, 2017.

Prior to the Distribution, Brighthouse was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife. Brighthouse, through its subsidiaries, is a provider of life insurance and annuity products in the United States through independent distribution channels and marketing arrangements. Its subsidiaries include Brighthouse Life Insurance Company, Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY, New England Life Insurance Company, and other entities. Brighthouse’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, more fully describes its assets.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The following MetLife unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, giving effect to the Distribution, are being filed and incorporated herein by reference:

(i) unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017;

(ii) unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014; and

(iii) notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

MetLife disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that it anticipated 2017 third quarter realized net investment losses of approximately $900 million, net of income tax, related to the separation of Brighthouse (the “Separation”). MetLife now anticipates 2017 third quarter realized net investment losses of approximately $1.4 billion, net of income tax, related to the Separation. These losses include: (i) tax-related charges; (ii) previously deferred inter-company losses realized upon Separation; (iii) losses on MetLife’s retained investment in Brighthouse; and (iv) partially offsetting Separation tax benefits. The increase of $500 million, net of income tax, from the anticipated amount disclosed in the Form 10-Q includes approximately $350 million previously treated as an offset to investment losses and approximately $150 million related to the impact of Brighthouse’s opening stock price of $62.75 on MetLife’s retained investment. MetLife’s 2017 third quarter realized net investment losses will be affected by, among other things, changes in the market price of Brighthouse’s common stock and market volatility in investment assets, and are not reliably predictable.
