&#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we are registering an unspecified amount of each class of the securities described in this prospectus, and we may sell any combination of the securities described in this
prospectus in one or more offerings. In addition, we may use this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement in a remarketing or other resale transaction involving the securities after their initial sale or in connection with the issuance
of guarantees in connection with a consent solicitation or other liability management transaction. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus
supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Selling securityholders may also sell securities on terms described in the applicable prospectus supplement. A prospectus supplement may also add to, update,
supplement or clarify information contained in this prospectus. The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate by reference information into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. Any information incorporated by reference is considered to be a
part of this prospectus and any relevant prospectus supplement, and information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. See &#147;Incorporation by Reference.&#148; You should read both this
prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information,&#148; and any free writing prospectus with respect to an offering filed by us with the SEC. </P>

to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other
than the date of the document containing the information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, references in

uncertainties identified below, as well as factors described in such forward-looking statements or in the sections entitled Risk Factors and Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, and those factors identified from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. </P>

You should keep in mind, however, that it is the indentures, and not this summary, which define your rights as a debtholder. There may be other provisions in the indentures which are also
important to you. You should read the indentures for a full description of the terms of the debt. The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this
prospectus. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; for information on how to obtain copies of the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture. </P>

securities will be unsecured obligations and our senior debt securities will be unsecured and will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. As a non-operating holding company, we have no significant
business operations of our own. Therefore, we rely on dividends from our insurance company and other subsidiaries as the principal source of cash flow to meet our obligations for payment of principal and interest on our outstanding debt obligations
and corporate expenses. Accordingly, the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, and you should rely only on our assets for payments on the debt securities. The payment of
dividends by our insurance subsidiaries is limited under the insurance holding company laws in the jurisdictions where those subsidiaries are domiciled. See &#147;The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.&#148; </P>

adequate indemnity. Each of the trustees acts, or we expect will act, as depositary for funds of, and performs, or we expect will perform, other services for us and our subsidiaries in the normal course of business. </P>

2008, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), as trustee. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description of the terms of the junior subordinated debt securities is a summary. It summarizes only those terms of the junior
subordinated debt securities which we believe will be most important to your decision to invest in our junior subordinated debt securities. You should keep in mind, however, that it is the junior subordinated indenture, and not this summary, which
defines your rights as a holder of our junior subordinated debt securities. There may be other provisions in the junior subordinated indenture which are also important to you. You should read the junior subordinated indenture for a full description
of the terms of the junior subordinated debt securities. The junior subordinated indenture is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148;
for information on how to obtain a copy of the junior subordinated indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Ranking of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities </B></P>

non-operating holding company, we have no significant business operations of our own. Therefore, we rely on dividends from our insurance company and other subsidiaries as the principal source of cash flow to meet our obligations for payment of
principal and interest on our outstanding debt obligations and corporate expenses. Accordingly, the junior subordinated debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, and you should rely
only on our assets for payments on the junior subordinated debt securities. The payment of dividends by our insurance subsidiaries is limited under the insurance holding company laws in the jurisdictions where those subsidiaries are domiciled. See

direction of, the board of directors, or by a stockholder who has given to our corporate secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder&#146;s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Only persons who are nominated

directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To be timely, notice of business to be brought before an annual meeting or nominations of candidates for election as directors

share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per debt security or share of preferred stock, as the case may be, payable in relation to the redeemed series of debt securities or preferred stock. Whenever we redeem debt
securities or shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing, as the case may be, the debt securities or shares of preferred stock redeemed. If

with any other securities, and they may be attached to or separate from those securities. We will issue the warrants under warrant agreements between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, that we will describe in the prospectus
supplement relating to the warrants that we offer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description of the terms of the warrants is a summary. It summarizes

relating to the warrants, and not this summary, which will define your rights as a warrantholder. There may be other provisions in the warrant agreement and the warrant certificate relating to the warrants which will also be important to you. You
should read these documents for a full description of the terms of the warrants. Forms of these documents will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus, either by amendment to the registration statement that

security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a

did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
Deloitte&nbsp;&amp; Touche LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;11 of the Securities Act for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports are not &#147;reports&#148; or a

to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Potential Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Potential Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification (the &#147;Supporting Documentation&#148;). The determination of the Potential Indemnitee&#146;s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after the later of (1)&nbsp;the receipt by the

indemnification is sought, the highest ranking officer of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to such Proceeding) shall select the Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the Potential Indemnitee does not reasonably
