Prudential of Japan (POJ) is extending its voluntary suspension of new sales by an additional 180 days, following an initial 90-day suspension that began on February 9, 2026. The extension is required to implement deeper operational, governance, and organizational changes than originally anticipated. An independent, third-party review of POJ's management system is currently underway and expected to take several months. The suspension is limited to new sales; existing policyholders and in-force policy servicing remain unaffected. Management is hosting a conference call on April 21, 2026, to discuss the financial impacts and the path forward.
