PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

April 30, 2024

(To a Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus dated

April 1, 2024)

Up to $75,000,000 of Preferred Shares and $75,000,000 of Class A Shares

This prospectus supplement (this "Prospectus Supplement"), together with the short form base shelf prospectus dated April 1, 2024, qualifies the distribution of preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares") and class A shares (the "Class A Shares") of Brompton Lifeco Split Corp. (the "Company") having an aggregate market value of up to $75,000,000 and $75,000,000, respectively (the "Offering"). The Company is a mutual fund corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario.

The Company invests in a portfolio, on an approximately equal weighted basis, of common shares consisting of the four Canadian life insurance companies (Great-West Lifeco Inc., iA Financial Corporation Inc., Manulife Financial Corporation and Sun Life Financial Inc.).

The Preferred Shares and the Class A Shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbols "LCS.PR.A" and "LCS", respectively. On April 29, 2024, the closing price on the TSX of the Preferred Shares was $10.04 and of the Class A Shares was $6.22. The most recently calculated NAV per Unit (as defined herein) prior to the date of this Prospectus Supplement on April 25, 2024 was $16.53. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Preferred Shares and Class A Shares offered hereby. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX.

The Manager, in its capacity as manager of the Company and the Company have entered into an equity distribution agreement dated April 30, 2024 (the "Equity Distribution Agreement") with RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (the "Agent") pursuant to which the Company may distribute Preferred Shares and Class A Shares from time to time through the Agent, as agent, in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement. Sales of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the short form base shelf prospectus are anticipated to be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"), including sales made directly on the TSX or on any other existing trading market for the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares, as applicable, in Canada. The Preferred Shares and Class A Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices at which Preferred Shares and Class A Shares are sold may vary as between purchasers and during the period of any distribution. In accordance with paragraph 9.3(2)(a) of National Instrument 81-102 - Investment Funds ("NI 81-102"), the issue price of the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares will not (a) as far as reasonably practicable, be a price that causes dilution of the NAV of the Company's other outstanding securities at the time of issue and (b) be a price that is less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per Unit. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under this Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after raising only a portion of the Offering amount set out above, or none at all. See "Plan of Distribution".

The Company will pay the Agent compensation for its services in acting as agent in connection with the sale of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement of up to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Preferred Share sold and up to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Class A Share sold (the "Commission").

As agent, the Agent will not engage in any transactions to stabilize or maintain the price of the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares. No agent, or underwriter of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such agent or underwriter may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares or securities of the same class as the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares distributed under this Prospectus Supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares that would result in the agent or underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares. See "Plan of Distribution".

An investment in the Preferred Shares or the Class A Shares involves a degree of risk. It is important for prospective investors to consider the risk factors described in this Prospectus Supplement and the short form base shelf prospectus. See "Risk Factors".

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, counsel to the Company, and Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Agent, provided that the Company qualifies as a "mutual fund corporation" within the meaning of the Tax Act or if the Preferred Shares or the Class A Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" within the meaning of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), such shares would be a qualified investment under the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans ("RRSP"), registered retirement income funds ("RRIF"), deferred profit sharing plans, registered disability savings plans ("RDSP"), tax-free savings accounts ("TFSA"), first home savings accounts ("FHSA") and registered education savings plans ("RESP", and collectively, "Registered Plans").

The Preferred Shares or the Class A Shares will not be a "prohibited investment" under the Tax Act for a TFSA, FHSA, RESP, RDSP, RRSP or RRIF provided the controlling individual of the applicable Registered Plan deals at arm's length with the Company and does not have a "significant interest" (within the meaning of the prohibited investment rules in the Tax Act) in the Company.
