Lincoln National Corporation's Board of Directors Authorizes $1.5 Billion Repurchase Authorization

Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) today announced that the board of directors of Lincoln National Corporation has authorized an increase to the company’s securities repurchase authorization, bringing the total aggregate authorization to $1.5 billion.

This authorization provides additional capacity to execute our previously communicated plans for incremental and ongoing share repurchases as well as debt paydown, which management discussed on the call related to the reinsurance transaction with Resolution Life held on September 17, 2021 and on the company’s third quarter earnings call held on Thursday, November 4, 2021.

The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date. The amount and timing of share repurchases depends on key capital ratios, rating agency expectations, the generation of free cash flow and an evaluation of the costs and benefits associated with alternative uses of capital. Our stock repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions and may be made pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase agreement or plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The purchase program may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time.

Forward-Looking Statements – Cautionary Language

Certain statements made in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). A forward-looking statement is a statement that is not a historical fact and, without limitation, includes any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements. Forward-looking statements may contain words like: “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “shall,” “will” and other words or phrases with similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, performance or financial results, including our plans to repurchase shares and debt, and the timing thereof. Our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as other reports that we file with the SEC, include risk factors that could affect our future actions, businesses and financial performance and results. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the effect of all risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this press release.
