important to note that our actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties inherent in our business. Many of the factors that will determine these results are

insurance business, are: Property and Casualty, Supplemental, Retirement and Life. We do not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to the four operating segments, consistent with the basis for management&#146;s evaluation of the
results of those segments, but classify those items in the fifth reporting segment, Corporate and Other. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Founded by Educators for
Educators<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP>, our business began in Springfield, Illinois in 1945 when two school teachers started selling automobile insurance to other teachers within Illinois. We expanded our business to
other states and broadened our product line to include life insurance in 1949, 403(b) <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-qualified</FONT> retirement annuities in 1961 and property insurance in 1965. On July&nbsp;1, 2019, we added our newest
segment&#151;Supplemental&#151;and increased our market share when we acquired all of the equity interests in NTA Life Enterprises, LLC (NTA). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Today, we market primarily to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">K-12</FONT> teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and
their families. Our more than one million customers typically have moderate annual incomes, with many belonging to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-income</FONT> households. Their financial planning tends to focus on retirement, security,
savings and primary insurance needs. We believe that we are the largest national multi-line insurance company focused on the nation&#146;s educators as its primary market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We market primarily through a dedicated sales force of full-time Exclusive Agents supported by our Customer Contact Center. These agents sell
our products and limited third-party vendor products made available through the Horace Mann General Agency. Some of these agents are former educators or individuals with close ties to the educational community who utilize their contacts within, and
knowledge of, the target market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While educators generally have more job security compared to other professions in light of the novel
coronavirus pandemic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(COVID-19),</FONT> their workload has become more complex and more time-consuming. This is largely a product of changes in worksite, with almost all educators moving to a remote learning
environment at the end of the 2019 - 2020 school year. Classroom models were varied going into the 2020 - 2021 school year. In a November 2020 Horace Mann survey, 41% of educators were working <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-person,</FONT> 27%
were working remotely and 32% were working in a hybrid model with elements of both. More than 75% of educators said they were working more than the preceding year. Because of the disruptions due to the pandemic, Horace Mann accelerated improvements
in capabilities that augment customers&#146; virtual experiences with our products as well as provided additional support for educators. </P>

offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions described below may apply to those securities, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may also sell hybrid securities that combine
certain features of debt securities and other securities described in this prospectus. As you read this section, please remember that the specific terms of a debt security as described in the applicable prospectus supplement will supplement and may
modify or replace the general terms described in this section. If there are any differences between the applicable prospectus supplement and this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement will control. As a result, the statements we make in
this section may not apply to the debt security you purchase. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As used in this &#147;Description of the Debt Securities,&#148; the

we offer will be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. We will issue senior debt securities under an Indenture, dated as of November&nbsp;23, 2015, by and between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
trustee, which we refer to as the senior indenture, and such trustee, the senior trustee. We will issue subordinated debt securities under a different indenture, which we refer to as the subordinated indenture, to be entered into between us and the
trustee named in the applicable prospectus supplement. We refer to both the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture as the indentures, and to each of the trustees under the indentures as a trustee. In addition, the indentures may be
supplemented or amended as necessary to set forth the terms of the debt securities issued under the indentures. You should read the indentures, including any amendments or supplements thereto, carefully to fully understand the terms of the debt
securities. The senior indenture and the form of subordinated indenture have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The indentures are subject to, and are governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior debt securities will be unsubordinated obligations of the Company. They will rank equally with each other
and all of our other unsubordinated debt, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of our senior debt. See
&#147;Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities.&#148; The subordinated debt securities will rank equally with each other, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will indicate in each applicable prospectus
supplement, as of the most recent practicable date, the aggregate amount of our outstanding debt that would rank senior to the subordinated debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities, the debt securities will not constitute obligations of
our subsidiaries. Creditors of our subsidiaries are entitled to a claim on the assets of those subsidiaries. Consequently, in the event of a liquidation or reorganization of any subsidiary, creditors of the subsidiary are likely to be paid in full
before any distribution is made to the Company and holders of debt securities, except to the extent that the Company is itself recognized as a creditor of such subsidiary, in which case the Company&#146;s claims would still be subordinate to any
security interests in the assets of such subsidiary and any debt of such subsidiary senior to that held by the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indentures do
not limit the amount of debt securities that can be issued thereunder and provide that debt securities of any series may be issued thereunder up to the aggregate principal amount that we may authorize from time to time. Unless otherwise provided in
any prospectus supplement, the indentures do not limit the amount of other indebtedness or securities that we may issue. </P>

receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form, any notices will be given only to DTC, and will not be considered owners or holders of debt securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in
a global security must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a DTC participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of debt securities. The laws of
some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in certificated form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial owners may experience
delays in receiving distributions on their debt securities since distributions will initially be made to DTC and must then be transferred through the chain of intermediaries to the beneficial owner&#146;s account. </P>

corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the
right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such
officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable
to the corporation in the performance of his duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article 9 of Horace Mann&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows: </P>

the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, Officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
said Sections 8.1. and 8.2. Such determination shall be made (a)&nbsp;by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or (b)&nbsp;if such a quorum is not

its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its Directors, Officers, employees, and agents, so that any person who is or was a Director, Officer, employee, or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or
