Chubb Ltd β€” DEFA14A Filing

April 3, 2026 at 12:00 AM

🧾 What This Document Is

This is a DEFA14A filing, which stands for "Definitive Additional Materials." Think of it as an important update or accessory to the main proxy statement for Chubb's upcoming shareholder meeting. Its purpose is to give shareholders a clear, concise notice about the meeting and explain exactly how they can access the full voting materials and cast their votes.

πŸ‘‰ In simple terms: This isn't the detailed rulebook, but the "You've got mail!" notice telling shareholders where to find the rulebook and how to use it.

🏒 What The Company Does

Chubb Limited is one of the world's largest publicly traded property and casualty insurance companies. They operate globally, providing commercial and personal insurance, reinsurance, and life insurance through well-known brands like Chubb, ACE, and others.

πŸ‘‰ In simple terms: Chubb is a giant safety net for businesses and individuals, selling policies to protect against financial loss from accidents, disasters, lawsuits, and other risks.

πŸ—‚οΈ What's on the Ballot (13 Proposals)

The Board of Directors recommends shareholders vote "FOR" all 13 agenda items. Here are the highlights:

  1. Financial Approvals: Approve the 2025 management and financial statements.
  2. Dividend: Approve the allocation of profit and the distribution of a dividend from legal reserves.
  3. Discharge: Grant discharge to the Board of Directors for their 2025 actions (a standard liability release).
  4. Auditors: Elect PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (Zurich) as the statutory auditor and ratify PwC LLP (U.S.) as the independent accountant for U.S. reporting.
  5. Governance Elections: Elect the Board of Directors, its Chairman, the Compensation Committee, and Homburger AG as the independent proxy.
  6. Capital Band: Renew a "capital band," which gives the board flexibility to increase or decrease share capital within set limits without needing a new shareholder vote each time.
  7. Incentive Plan: Approve the amended Chubb Limited 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan for executive and employee compensation.
  8. Compensation Votes: Hold binding votes on maximum pay for the Board (until next meeting) and Executive Management (for 2027), plus an advisory vote on the Swiss compensation report.
  9. U.S. Pay Vote: Hold the separate, advisory "say-on-pay" vote required under U.S. rules for executive compensation.
  10. Sustainability: Approve the 2025 Sustainability Report.

βš–οΈ Why This Matters

  • Your Vote is Corporate Citizenship: These votes shape the company's governance, pay practices, and strategic tools.
  • Dividend & Capital Band: The dividend proposal directly affects shareholder returns. The capital band renewal (#9) is a key piece of financial flexibility for the company's future moves.
  • Executive Pay & Sustainability: Items #11-13 reflect modern corporate governance, giving shareholders a voice on pay and the company's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) disclosures.

🧠 The Analogy

This DEFA14A is like the "meeting agenda and RSVP instructions" sent to members of an exclusive club. It doesn't contain the full meeting minutes (the proxy statement) but tells you when and where the meeting is, lists the major decisions to be made (from budget approval to electing club officers), and gives you several ways to submit your preferences if you can't attend in person.
