Chubb lands in Fort Lauderdale the day shareholders approve a dividend increase and a new buyback program

Chubb’s Gulfstream G650ER, tail N846CB, arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 00:02 UTC on May 22, a 9-hour 32-minute flight from its Zurich home base. The trip lands the same day Chubb shareholders, meeting in Zurich, approved the company’s 33rd consecutive annual dividend increase — to $4.08 per share — and the board authorized a new $7.5 billion share repurchase program, according to a Morningstar report on the company’s May 21 annual general meeting [morningstar.com](https://www.morningstar.com/news/pr-newswire/20260521ny65304/chubb-limited-shareholders-approve-33rd-consecutive-annual-dividend-increase-chubb-limited-board-declares-record-date-for-first-dividend-installment-and-authorizes-new-share-repurchase-program).

The Fort Lauderdale arrival likely marks a return to Chubb’s southeast Florida operations or executive residences in the region, a familiar pattern given the company’s substantial North American presence from its New Jersey offices. The aircraft had been on a multi-day swing in the Northeast earlier in the week, departing a location near Westchester County, New York, on May 19 before flying back to Zurich on May 20.

Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg, who led the earnings call in April discussing a strong first quarter that saw core operating income rise 85% year-over-year, has also been navigating significant legal and geopolitical headwinds. A New York court recently approved the deposition of Greenberg in the Archdiocese of New York’s clergy abuse insurance coverage suit, as covered by Insurance Journal this week [insurancejournal.com](https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2026/05/21/870917.htm). The dividend news, however, provided a clean, forward-looking reason for the executive team’s transit across the Atlantic.
