Prudential Financial paid 437 people a total of 2.85 billion yen ($17.4 million) as remedy after a regulatory investigation of employee misconduct in Japan.

The disclosed remedy of $17.4 million ties directly to Prudential Financial (PRU), potentially representing a quantifiable regulatory and legal cost stemming from operations in Japan. The company's operations and reputation in Japan, a key market, may be affected by the outcome of the investigation.
