<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-weight:bold;">NORTHBROOK,&nbsp;Ill.,</font></b><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:11.0pt;"> January&nbsp;4, 2018 &#150; Allstate announced three senior leadership promotions in preparation for the retirement of Matt Winter, President of The Allstate Corporation. The promotions include Steve Shebik to Vice Chairman of The Allstate Corporation, Glenn Shapiro to President of Allstate Personal Lines and Mario Rizzo to Chief Financial Officer.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&#147;These leadership changes demonstrate Allstate&#146;s effectiveness in developing talent,&#148; said Tom Wilson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Allstate Corporation. &#147;Matt Winter has been a fabulous partner in preparing for this change by developing leaders, enhancing operating processes and maintaining a focus on precision execution. Steve and Mario have been integral to our success over the last two decades and Glenn&#146;s addition to the team in 2016 made us even stronger. Our continued success will be driven by a focused strategy, specific operating priorities and 19 diverse senior leaders, with an average of 15 years at Allstate,&#148; concluded Wilson.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Matt Winter has decided to retire in late February&nbsp;after eight years at Allstate and a 25-year career in insurance. He joined Allstate in <font color="black" style="background:white;color:black;">2009 as President and CEO of Allstate Financial, became President of Allstate Personal Lines in 2012, and President of The Allstate Corporation in 2015. &#147;Matt has helped us achieve both strategic and operational success, and build a stronger organization.
