Item 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
INVESTOR SUPPLEMENTS. In connection with the issuance of a press release
following the end of each fiscal quarter regarding its earnings for the
quarter, Allstate intends to prepare an investor supplement. Allstate intends
to publish its investor supplement on its web site at Allstate.com about ten
days after the quarterly earnings press release is issued. The supplement
will contain information such as consolidated statements of operations,
financial position and cash flows; property-liability underwriting results
and premiums written; Allstate Financial statutory premiums and deposits;
Allstate Financial operating income; investments; investment income and
realized capital gains. All such information will be unaudited.
QUARTERLY EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL. In connection with the issuance of each
of its quarterly earnings press releases, Allstate intends to host a
conference call with the investment analysts who follow Allstate. Typically
this call will be held on the same day that the quarterly earnings press
release is issued. Allstate intends to make this call immediately available
on its web site at Allstate.com. In addition, Allstate intends to make the
call available for replay on the web site. The date and time of the call with
respect to the first, second and third fiscal quarters of any year will be
posted on Allstate's web site typically during the second week following the
end of the quarter. The date and time of the call with respect to the fourth
fiscal quarter of any year will be posted on Allstate's web site typically
during the fifth week following the end of the quarter.
EXECUTIVE SPEECHES TO INVESTMENT ANALYSTS. From time to time Allstate's
senior executives make presentations at investor conferences hosted by
investment banking, brokerage and similar businesses. Allstate intends to
make such presentations immediately available on its web site at
Allstate.com., including any question and answer session that may follow the
presentation. In addition, Allstate intends to make such presentations
available for replay on the web site. In the event that it is not feasible to
make such presentations available on the web site, Allstate intends to
publish on its web site a transcript of the presentation as soon as
reasonably possible after it is given.
MATERIALITY OF INFORMATION. The fact that Allstate makes information, including
investor supplements, conference calls or executive presentations, available on
its web site does not mean that Allstate regards such information as material.
Allstate is furnishing this Form 8-K in order to make investment analysts,
Allstate stockholders and others aware of the types of information that Allstate
makes available from time to time.
TIMELINESS OF INFORMATION. Allstate regards any information provided in any
investor supplement, conference call or executive speech to be current and
accurate only as of the date and time that the supplement is first issued, the
call is held or the speech is given. Allstate specifically disclaims any duty to
update such information, unless it is necessary to do so in accordance with
applicable law.
