Insights

Corporate governance analyst

Director resignation aligns with AIG’s reduced board designation rights and is described as non‑contentious.

The company reports that Christina Banthin resigned from the Board effective November 17, 2025, and explicitly notes that her departure was not related to any disagreement over operations, policies, or practices. This framing suggests an orderly governance change rather than a dispute-driven exit.

The filing links the resignation to American International Group, Inc.’s sale of 32,600,000 shares of Corebridge common stock on November 4, 2025, which lowered AIG’s entitlement from three to two board designees under a separation agreement and its amendment. Following the resignation, the Board size was reduced from fourteen to thirteen directors, indicating that the company chose to shrink the board rather than immediately replace the AIG‑designated seat.
