On October 21, 2016, the Board of Directors (the Board) of MetLife, Inc. (the Company) elected David L. Herzog a director of the
Company, effective immediately. Mr. Herzog was also appointed to serve on the Boards Audit Committee and Finance and Risk Committee, effective immediately. The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Herzog qualifies as an independent

Mr. Herzog will participate in the non-management director compensation arrangements described in the Companys 2016 proxy statement. Under the terms of
those arrangements, non-management directors receive an annual retainer of $300,000 per year, 50% of which will be paid in shares of the Companys common stock and 50% of which will be paid in cash. Each annual retainer covers the period of
Board service commencing at the Companys annual shareholders meeting and ending at its next annual shareholders meeting. For the period beginning at his election to the Board and ending at the 2016 annual shareholders meeting, Mr. Herzog will
receive a prorated retainer fee to reflect such period of service.
