This estimate includes losses from Hurricane Harvey of $175 million, before tax, and from Hurricane Irma of $125 million to $175 million, before tax, each having a larger impact on Commercial Lines than on Personal Lines. Aside from these two named storms, the company&#8217;s losses from third quarter 2017 catastrophes, including Hurricane Maria, are relatively low.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">All of the estimates are net of property per risk and other facultative reinsurance. The two hurricanes are not expected to result in any recoveries from the company&#8217;s property catastrophe occurrence treaty, which has a $350 million, before tax, attachment point per catastrophe event.  As a result, the company has not incurred a reinstatement premium on its catastrophe program.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;color:#00497f;text-decoration:underline;">The Hartford</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">&#32;will release third quarter 2017 financial results on Thursday, Oct. 26 after the close of the market and will host a webcast to discuss these results at 9 a.m. EDT on Friday, Oct 27.
