Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 30, 2026, The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Company") announced Christopher J. Swift’s decision on September 30, 2026 to resign as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, effective March 1, 2027. Mr. Swift will assume the role of Executive Chair, continuing to serve as chair of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and providing other services to the Company, as described below. He intends to step down from his role as Executive Chair in the second half of 2027. In addition, the Company announced that A. Morris Tooker has been appointed CEO of the Company, effective March 1, 2027.

On September 30, 2026, the Board also elected Mr. Tooker as a director of the Company, effective October 1, 2026. Mr. Tooker will serve as a member of the Board’s Finance, Investment and Risk Management Committee ("FIRMCo"). He will not receive compensation for service on the Board or FIRMCo.

Mr. Tooker, 57, has served as the Company's President since February 1, 2025, overseeing the Company’s Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Employee Benefits, claims, risk services, and sales and distribution organizations. He previously served as Executive Vice President and Head of Commercial Lines from March 2024 to January 2025; Executive Vice President and Head of Middle & Large Commercial, Global Specialty and Sales and Distribution from November 2022 to February 2024; and Executive Vice President and Head of Middle & Large Commercial from March 2019 to October 2022. He joined the Company in 2015 as chief underwriting officer. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Tooker served as president of General Reinsurance Corporation, where he was responsible for the company's global P&C reinsurance business.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Tooker and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer. Mr. Tooker has no direct or indirect interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Board approved a target total annual compensation opportunity, effective as of March 1, 2027, for Mr. Tooker of $12 million, based on market data for CEOs at peer companies. This includes a base salary of $1.1 million, an annual incentive plan (“AIP”) award target of $2.75 million and a long-term incentive (“LTI”) award target of $8.15 million.

The Company entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Swift pursuant to which, effective March 1, 2027, he will cease serving as CEO and will remain employed by the Company, assuming the role of Executive Chair. In this position, he will continue to serve as chair of the Board while providing advisory services to management and the Board. Until March 1, 2027, Mr. Swift will continue to serve as CEO and receive his existing compensation, including an AIP award for 2026 and a portion of the 2027 performance year, determined by the independent directors of the Board based on his performance as CEO. Effective March 1, 2027, Mr. Swift will receive an annual base salary of $1.2 million as well as his existing benefits and perquisites until his employment terminates under the terms of the Agreement. Starting March 1, 2027, Mr. Swift will be eligible for a 2027 AIP award based on a target opportunity of $2.4 million, with the prorated payout determined based on Company performance. Mr. Swift will also receive a 2027 LTI award with a target value of $7.4 million. Upon termination of his employment, Mr. Swift's outstanding stock options and performance share awards will receive retirement treatment in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements and the Company’s LTI plan. Mr. Swift will not receive any additional compensation for his service as Executive Chair or as a member of the Board.

The foregoing summary of the terms of Mr. Swift’s employment arrangement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Mr. Swift’s Transition Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
