Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management |
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 30, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Registrant elected Perry M. Traquina as a director effective immediately and increased the size of the Board to 11 directors. The Board has not yet determined Mr. Traquina’s committee assignments. Mr. Traquina’s compensation will be consistent with the Registrant’s previously disclosed standard compensatory arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described in the Registrant’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2016, under the heading “Director Compensation,” except that the conversion date for new equity awards granted to directors was revised subsequent to the filing of Registrant’s proxy statement. Therefore, Mr. Traquina will be granted restricted stock unit awards under The Allstate Corporation 2006 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”) converting into common stock on the earlier of three years from the date of grant or the day following termination of Board service, or following a deferred period of restriction, if elected. Restricted stock units also will convert following death or disability as defined in the Plan. Mr. Traquina’s compensation will be prorated to reflect the commencement date of his Board service. In addition, the Registrant expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Traquina in substantially the form filed as Exhibit 10.2 to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Traquina’s election is attached as Exhibit 99 to this report.
