•Allstate’s five reportable segments use shared services, including human resources, investment, finance, information technology and legal services, provided by Allstate Insurance Company and other affiliates.

•Although the insurance business generally is not seasonal, claims and claims expense for the Allstate Protection segment tend to be higher for periods of severe or inclement weather.

•“Allstate®” is a very well-recognized brand name in the United States. We use the “Allstate®”, “National General®” and “Answer Financial®” brands extensively in our business. We also provide additional protection products and services through “Allstate® Protection Plans”, “Allstate® Dealer Services®”, “Allstate® Roadside”,“Arity®”, “Allstate® Identity Protection” “Allstate® Benefits” and “Allstate® Health Solutions”, among others. These brands, products and services are supported with the related service marks, logos, and slogans. Our rights in the United States to these names, service marks, logos and slogans continue as long as we continue to use them in commerce. Many service marks used by Allstate are the subject of renewable U.S. and/or foreign service mark registrations. We believe that these service marks are important to our business and we intend to maintain our rights to them.
