utilizing a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf registration process, Holdings may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $600,000,000. In
addition, Holdings or any of its affiliates may use this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement in a remarketing or other resale transaction involving the securities after their initial sale. This prospectus provides you with a general
description of the securities Holdings may offer. Each time Holdings sells securities, Holdings will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement and any free
writing prospectus may also add to, update, supplement or clarify information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Any statement that we make in this prospectus will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made
by us in a prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate information by reference into this prospectus. This
information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and information that Holdings files later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. See &#147;Incorporation of Certain Information by
Reference.&#148; You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </P>

reference in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus that we prepare or distribute. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurances as to the reliability of, any other information
that others may give you. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, the securities offered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement
in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. The information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus prepared by us is only

senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. We refer to the senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities together in this prospectus as the &#147;debt securities.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, Holdings will issue the senior debt securities in one or more series under the
Indenture, dated as of April&nbsp;5, 2019 (the &#147;senior indenture&#148;) between Holdings and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and Holdings will issue subordinated debt securities in one or more series under a subordinated indenture (the
&#147;subordinated indenture&#148; and together with the senior indenture, the &#147;indentures&#148;), to be entered into between Holdings and a trustee which we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that Holdings may issue and provide that Holdings may issue debt
securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Holdings may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt
securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable
indenture. The indentures do not limit Holdings&#146; ability to incur other debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The senior indenture and the form of subordinated
indenture are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and you should read the indentures for provisions that may be important to you. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any
prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indentures
and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Ranking of the Debt Securities </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The debt securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of Holdings. The senior debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with
all of Holdings&#146; other senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of Holdings&#146; present and future &#147;senior indebtedness&#148; (as defined in the
subordinated indenture). See &#147;&#151;Subordination under the Subordinated Indenture.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Because Holdings is principally a holding
company, its right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary&#146;s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise, is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent Holdings may
be recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary. Accordingly, Holdings&#146; obligations under the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of its subsidiaries, including liabilities
under contracts of insurance and annuities written by Holdings&#146; insurance subsidiaries, and holders of debt securities should look only to Holdings&#146; assets for payment thereunder. </P>

be, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, Holdings must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not

been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance under clause (i)&nbsp;above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in
applicable U.S. federal income tax law occurring after the date of the relevant indenture. In addition, in the case of either defeasance or covenant defeasance, Holdings shall have delivered to the trustee (i)&nbsp;an officers&#146; certificate to

securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the junior subordinated debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional junior subordinated debt securities, together with all other
outstanding junior subordinated debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of junior subordinated debt securities under the junior subordinated indenture. The junior subordinated indenture does not limit Holdings&#146; ability

junior subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of Holdings&#146; present and future &#147;senior indebtedness&#148; (as defined in the junior subordinated indenture). See &#147;&#151;Subordination under
the Junior Subordinated Indenture.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Because Holdings is principally a holding company, its right to participate in any distribution
of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary&#146;s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise, is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent Holdings may be recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary.
Accordingly, Holdings&#146; obligations under the junior subordinated debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of its subsidiaries, including liabilities under contracts of insurance
and annuities written by Holdings&#146; insurance subsidiaries, and holders of junior subordinated debt securities should look only to Holdings&#146; assets for payment thereunder. </P>

offer depositary shares representing receipts for fractional interests in debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock. In this case, Holdings will issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will
represent a fraction of a debt security, junior subordinated debt security or share of common stock or of a particular series of preferred stock, as the case may be. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Holdings will deposit the debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities or shares of common stock or any series of preferred stock
represented by depositary shares under a deposit agreement between Holdings and a depositary which we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, as an owner of a depositary share you will be
entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a debt security, junior subordinated debt security or share of common stock or preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the debt security, junior
subordinated debt security or common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, represented by the depositary share, including, as the case may be, interest, dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, sinking fund, repayment at maturity,
subscription and liquidation rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The following description of the terms of the deposit agreement is a summary. It summarizes only
those terms of the deposit agreement that we believe will be most important to your decision to invest in Holdings&#146; depositary shares. You should keep in mind, however, that it is the deposit agreement, and not this summary, which defines your
rights as a holder of depositary shares. There may be other provisions in the deposit agreement that are also important to you. You should read the deposit agreement for a full description of the terms of the depositary shares. The form of the
deposit agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Interest, Dividends and Other
Distributions </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The depositary will distribute all payments of interest, cash dividends or other cash distributions received on the debt
securities, junior subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, to you in proportion to the number of depositary shares that you own. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to you proportionately, unless the
depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such a distribution. In that case the depositary may, with our approval, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting the distribution, including the sale
of the property and the distribution of the net proceeds from the sale to you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">If Holdings redeems a debt security, junior subordinated debt security, share of common stock or preferred stock represented by depositary
shares, the depositary will redeem your depositary shares from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per debt
security, junior subordinated debt security or share of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, payable in relation to the debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock to be redeemed. Whenever
Holdings redeems debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities or shares of common stock or 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, junior subordinated debt securities or shares of common stock or preferred stock redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected either pro
rata or by lot. </P>

depositary shares or how to vote the amount of the common stock or preferred stock represented by that holder&#146;s depositary shares. The record date for the depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the debt securities,
junior subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be. The depositary will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to give instructions or directions with respect to the debt securities or junior subordinated debt
securities or to vote the amount of the common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those instructions. Holdings will agree to take all reasonable action which the depositary may deem

securities of or within any series to or through agents, underwriters, dealers, remarketing firms or other third parties or directly to one or more purchasers or through a combination of any of these methods. Holdings may issue securities as a
dividend or distribution. In some cases, Holdings or dealers acting with Holdings or on behalf of Holdings may also purchase securities and reoffer them to the public. Holdings may also offer and sell, or agree to deliver, securities pursuant to, or

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Holdings may use an underwriter or underwriters in the offer or sale of the securities. If Holdings uses an underwriter or underwriters,

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Until the distribution of the securities is completed, SEC rules may limit the ability of
underwriters and other participants in the offering to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters in certain circumstances are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the
securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These
transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they hold, and must be closed out by
purchasing those securities in the open market. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of an offering. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid on
certain underwriters. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriting syndicate a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriting syndicate has repurchased securities sold by or for the account of
that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. These activities by the underwriters, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own account, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price
of the securities, and may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are
commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on an exchange or automated quotation system, if the securities are listed on that exchange or admitted for trading on that automated quotation
system, or in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>

investors in the securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities offered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or otherwise. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Holdings may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions involving the securities with third parties, or sell securities not covered
by the prospectus to third parties in privately-negotiated transactions. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with those derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus
and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions, or may lend securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by Holdings or borrowed from Holdings
or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from Holdings in settlement of those derivative or hedging transactions to close out any related open borrowings of
securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">post-effective</FONT> amendment to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Holdings may effect sales of securities in connection with forward sale, option or other types of agreements

transactions, or through broker-dealers acting either as principal or agent, or through <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">privately-negotiated</FONT> transactions, or through an underwritten public offering, or through a combination of any such
