Prudential of Japan extend sales suspension by 180 days

The company states: “The Prudential (PRU) Life Insurance Company and its parent company, Prudential Financial, Inc. announced today a decision to voluntarily extend the suspension of new sales activity at Prudential of Japan by an additional 180 days. The extension follows the 90-day voluntary sales suspension that began on February 9, 2026, and reflects Prudential’s conclusion that the scope and complexity of the required changes within POJ are greater than previously anticipated and will take additional time to design and implement. These include the operational, governance, organizational, and related changes necessary to resume sales. Prudential also initiated an independent, third-party review of POJ’s management system earlier this year as part of its governance process. That review is ongoing and is expected to take several months to complete.”
