CLAWBACK POLICY

May 1, 2024

Clawback Policy

Scope

This Clawback Policy (the "Policy") applies to any individual who, at the relevant time, is or was an Executive Officer (as defined below) of Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd. ("Brookfield Reinsurance") and/or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Reinsurance, whose securities may be listed on a U.S. Stock Exchange (as defined below) from time to time (the "Listed Subsidiaries" and each, a "Listed Subsidiary").

Purpose

Brookfield Reinsurance has built a reputation for conducting business with integrity. Integrity, fairness and respect are hallmarks of our culture; our shared success depends on it. Brookfield Reinsurance expects its Executive Officers to lead by example. Should (i) an Executive Officer of Brookfield Reinsurance engage in Detrimental Conduct (as defined below) or (ii) Brookfield Reinsurance or any Listed Subsidiary (each, a "Subject Issuer") be required to prepare an Accounting Restatement (as defined below), such Subject Issuer will have the right to claw back certain excess Incentive-Based Compensation (as defined below) from its Executive Officers, on and subject to the terms provided for in this Policy.

Definitions

For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

Clawback Policy

Clawback Policy

Accounting Restatements

In the event a Subject Issuer is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Compensation Committee or the board of directors (or equivalent governing body, the "Board") of the applicable Listed Subsidiary, as applicable, will review all Incentive-Based Compensation received by Executive Officers of such Subject Issuer (a) after beginning service as an Executive Officer of such Subject Issuer, (b) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the applicable Restatement Date (as well as during any transition period specified in Rule 10D-1(b)(1)(i)(D) under the Exchange Act and the applicable U.S. Stock Exchange Rules), (c) while such Subject Issuer has a class of securities listed on a U.S. Stock Exchange, and (d) on or after the Effective Date (as defined below). Incentive-Based Compensation is deemed "received" in the Subject Issuer's fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation is attained, even if the payment or grant of Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

If the Compensation Committee or the Board of the applicable Listed Subsidiary, as applicable, determines that one or more Executive Officers of such Subject Issuer received any Erroneously Awarded Compensation in connection with such Accounting Restatement, such Subject Issuer shall, reasonably promptly after the Restatement Date, seek recoupment from such Executive Officers of all such Erroneously Awarded Compensation received during the period described in clause (b) above, subject to the exceptions set forth below under "-Recoupment Exceptions". For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an Executive Officer has received Incentive-Based Compensation in respect of more than one Subject Issuer that is subject to an Accounting Restatement, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be calculated individually for each Subject Issuer, but without duplication in the event that the applicable Incentive-Based Compensation relates to the Financial Reporting Measures of more than one Subject Issuer. The Compensation Committee or the Board of the applicable Listed Subsidiary, as applicable, will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping Erroneously Awarded Compensation hereunder.

Calculation of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement: (i) the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on such stock price or total shareholder retuupon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received; and (ii) the Subject Issuer must maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the applicable U.S. Stock Exchange. Reference is further made to Rule 10D-1(b)(1)(iii) under the Exchange Act and the applicable U.S. Stock Exchange Rules for calculation of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

Clawback Policy

Recoupment Exceptions

The applicable Subject Issuer must recover any Erroneously Awarded Compensation unless (i) the Compensation Committee or (ii) a committee of independent directors of the Board of the applicable Listed Subsidiary responsible for executive compensation decisions (or in the absence of such committee, the majority of the independent directors serving on the Board of the applicable Listed Subsidiary) (if the Subject Issuer is a Listed Subsidiary) determines that any of the impracticality exceptions set forth in Rule 10D-1(b)(1)(iv) under the Exchange Act and/or the applicable U.S. Stock Exchange Rules are available.

The applicable Subject Issuer's obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements in connection with the Accounting Restatement have been filed.

Recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation due to an Accounting Restatement will be made on a "no fault" basis, without regard to whether any misconduct or Detrimental Conduct occurred or whether any Executive Officer is responsible for the noncompliance that resulted in the Accounting Restatement.

Detrimental Conduct

In the event an Executive Officer of Brookfield Reinsurance is determined to have engaged in Detrimental Conduct, all Incentive-Based Compensation granted or paid to that Executive Officer may be subject to reduction, forfeiture, recoupment or similar treatment, in accordance with the terms of this Policy (to the extent not otherwise recoverable in connection with a Restatement Clawback pursuant to "-Accounting Restatements" above).

Where Detrimental Conduct is determined to have occurred by the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee will have the ability to: (i) require the Executive Officer to re-pay any Incentive-Based Compensation granted or paid to the Executive Officer; (ii) cancel/revoke any prior Incentive-Based Compensation that has not yet vested to, and any Incentive-Based Compensation that has vested to, but has not yet been exercised or settled by, the Executive Officer; and/or (iii) require the Executive Officer to repay the cash value realized by the Executive Officer on any Incentive-Based Compensation that has already vested to the Executive Officer.

No Indemnification of Executive Officers

No Subject Issuer shall indemnify any Executive Officer against the loss of any Incentive-Based Compensation as a result of a Restatement Clawback under this Policy.

Indemnification of the Compensation Committee and the Board

Any members of the Compensation Committee and/or any members of the Board of any Subject Issuer who assist in the administration of this Policy will not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy and will be fully indemnified by the Subject Issuer to the fullest extent under applicable law and any applicable Subject Issuer's policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence will not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of Compensation Committee or the Board of a Subject Issuer under applicable law or the Subject Issuer's policy.

Clawback Policy

Effective Date; Applicability

This Policy shall be effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below). Each award agreement or other document setting forth the terms and conditions of any Incentive-Based Compensation granted or paid to an Executive Officer will include (or will be deemed to include) a provision incorporating this Policy or the requirements of this Policy. The remedies specified in this Policy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy at law or in equity that may be available to the Subject Issuer.

Filing with the SEC

This Policy and any amendments thereto shall be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to (i) Brookfield Reinsurance's annual report on Form 40-F (or other applicable form) and (ii) each Subject Issuer's applicable annual report on Form 10-K (or other applicable form as may be required under the applicable U.S. Stock Exchange Rules), in each case, beginning with the first report as specified under applicable U.S. Stock Exchange Rules.

Further Reference to Applicable SEC and U.S. Stock Exchange Rules

The foregoing policy in respect of Restatement Clawbacks shall be qualified by reference to, is designed to comply with, and will be interpreted consistent with applicable SEC rules (including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act) and the applicable U.S. Stock Exchange Rules.

Interpretation

The Compensation Committee and/or the Board of each Listed Subsidiary shall have full and final authority to make all determinations under this Policy with respect to any Erroneously Awarded Compensation in respect of the applicable Subject Issuer including, without limitation, whether the Policy applies and if so, the amount of compensation to be repaid or forfeited by an Executive Officer. All determinations and decisions made by the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of the applicable Listed Subsidiary, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

This Policy supersedes and replaces any previous clawback or clawback-related policies adopted by the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of the applicable Subject Issuer.
