Dear Aimee:

I am pleased to extend this offer of employment with Jackson National Life Insurance Company (“Jackson” or the “Company”). Below are the details of our offer:

 

1.

Your position will be that of Chief Commercial Officer and President of Jackson National Life Distributors (“JNLD”), reporting to me. Your employment will commence on June 3, 2019.

Your base salary shall be $600,000 per year payable in biweekly installments subject to normal withholding deductions for taxes, fringe benefits and similar items.

 

3.

You will be eligible to receive annual bonuses based on company and individual performance. Such bonuses will be sourced from both (i) our Jackson officer pool which is driven on broader enterprise measures and individual performance and (ii) other incentive programs driven on the performance of the distribution function(s) over which you will have responsibility. For 2019, your at-plan total bonus target will be $2,000,000.

To help address the loss of unvested equity awards and concerns about loss of potential intrinsic value associated with your outstanding stock options, we are also pleased to offer you a sign-on bonus totaling $1,500,000, payable in three components and subject to normal withholding deductions for taxes, as follows:

 

  a.

The first component will be in the form of a cash payment of $300,000 and will be paid in June 2019.

 

  b.

The second component will be in the form of a restricted stock award denominated in Prudential plc ADRs (PUK on the NYSE) with a 12-month vesting period, the notional value of which will be $500,000. This award is expected to be granted in June 2019, with the number of ADRs determined based on dividing the $500,000 notional value by the average closing price on the three trading days immediately preceding such date of grant.

 

 

  c.

The third component will be in the form of a restricted stock award denominated in Prudential plc ADRs (PUK on the NYSE) with a 24-month vesting period, the notional value of which will be $700,000. This award is expected to be granted in June 2019, with the number of ADRs determined based on dividing the $700,000 notional value by the average closing price on the three trading days immediately preceding such date of grant.

 

You must remain employed with the Company through the applicable payment dates and/or vesting periods described in Items 4a-4c above in order to receive each component. In addition, if you voluntarily terminate from the Company within 12 months after receipt of the cash payment in Item 4a, you agree to reimburse the Company for the full value of that payment; if such voluntary termination of employment occurs after 12 months but before 24 months following the receipt of such payment, you agree to reimburse the Company for 50% of the payment made under Item 4a.

5.

For long term incentive compensation, you will be eligible to participate in the Prudential Long Term Incentive Plan (PLTIP) beginning with the 2019 grant year. Awards are discretionary and when awarded consist of shares of Prudential American Depositary Receipts (Prudential ADRs). Prudential ADRs (ticker symbol PUK) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, with each ADR representing two shares of Prudential plc stock (PRU on the London exchange). Your award for the 2019 grant year will have a notional value of $1,400,000. PLTIP awards vest after a three-year performance cycle, with the number of ADRs vesting dependent upon company performance over the performance period. Achievement well above target levels is required for 100% of the ADRs awarded to vest. A minimum level of achievement is required for any of the ADRs to vest, and there is no guarantee that any ADRs will vest. Further information about the PLTIP program will be available when awards are granted. In the event this description of the PLTIP and your eligibility to participate is inconsistent with the PLTIP documents describing the PLTIP, approved from time to time by the appropriate Prudential plc board and/or committee, the board- and/or committee-approved documents exclusively shall govern.
