  • Prudential Financial to Acquire Allstate Financial's
    For Immediate Release Contact: Bob DeFillippo March 8, 2006 (973) 802-4149 PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL TO ACQUIRE ALLSTATE FINANCIAL’S VARIABLE ANNUITY BUSINESS Transaction Will Make Prudential the Third Largest Provider of Advisor-Sold* Variable Annuity Products NEWARK, N.J. – Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Allstate Financial’s variable annuity business through a reinsurance transaction. Prudential’s initial investment in the business, reflecting total consideration to Allstate, related taxes, and capital requirements, is expected to be approximately $560 million. The payment to Allstate is subject to adjustment for market movements between signing and closing. Over the course of a transition period of up to 24 months from closing, Prudential will assume the administration of Allstate Financial’s in-force variable annuities, with account values of approximately $16 billion as of December 31, 2005, moving Prudential’s position in the advisor-sold variable annuity marketplace from fifth to third as measured by assets under administration and management and from seventh to fourth as measured by sales (Source: VARDS as of 12/31/05). As part of the transaction, Prudential will be granted exclusive distribution rights to sell variable annuity products through Allstate’s proprietary distribution force of approximately 13,700 independent contractors and financial professionals. The transaction will also enable Prudential to build and enhance its relationships with Allstate’s non-proprietary channel including a number of major, national wirehouses and regional securities firms, the most productive of which is Morgan Stanley with whom Allstate has a 21-year variable annuity sales relationship.

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I.

  • Basis of the Financial Stability Oversight Council's Final
    September 19, 2013 Basis for the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s Final Determination Regarding Prudential Financial, Inc. Introduction Pursuant to section 113 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council) has made a final determination that material financial distress at Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential) could pose a threat to U.S. financial stability and that Prudential should be subject to supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board of Governors) and enhanced prudential standards. In reaching this determination, the Council carefully considered a broad range of information in light of the statutory factors set forth in section 113(a)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act, both separately and in conjunction with each other. The Council has considered information available through existing public and regulatory sources, as well as information provided by Prudential. The Council also consulted with certain regulators of Prudential or its insurance subsidiaries. On June 3, 2013, the Council made a proposed determination under section 113 of the Dodd- Frank Act that material financial distress at Prudential could pose a threat to U.S. financial stability and that Prudential should be subject to Board of Governors supervision and enhanced prudential standards. The Council provided Prudential with an explanation of the basis for the Council’s proposed determination and informed the company of its right to request a hearing before the Council to contest the proposed determination. On July 2, 2013, Prudential requested a written and an oral hearing before the Council. Prudential subsequently submitted written hearing materials to the Council, and the Council held an oral hearing on July 23, 2013.
