Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The MetLife, Inc. Board of Directors appointed John McCallion Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, to succeed the retiring John C.R. Hele, effective May 1, 2018. Mr. McCallion retained his title as Treasurer. A copy of MetLife’s May 1, 2018 news release announcing this and other senior leadership changes is included in this report as Exhibit 99.1.

Mr. McCallion, age 44, joined MetLife in July 2006. He has served MetLife as Chief Financial Officer for Investments, head of Investor Relations, Chief Financial Officer for the Europe, the Middle East, and Africa region (“EMEA”) beginning in 2012, and Executive Vice President and Treasurer beginning in 2016.

Mr. McCallion’s previous MetLife service in EMEA causes multi-jurisdiction tax complexity that persists for several years after his return to the U.S. As a result, on May 4, 2018, MetLife, Inc. agreed to provide Mr. McCallion with reasonable tax return preparation services for tax years ending in 2016 through 2018. This description of the agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

MetLife, Inc. will disclose any subsequent material arrangement in connection with Mr. McCallion’s appointment in an amendment to this Form 8-K.
