or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. either via email at jlevi@zlk.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500, toll-free: (877) 363-5972. There is no cost or obligation to you.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the reason for the Company's sudden spike in its auto claims frequency—which defendants claimed was due to external events beyond the Company's control, including the weather and increased miles driven—was actually the result of Allstate's growth in its auto policy business through higher risk drivers. As a result of defendants' false statements and/or omissions, Allstate stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $72.58 per share, and certain of the Company's insiders, including its CEO, were able to sell their Allstate shares at artificially inflated prices.

If you suffered a loss in Allstate you have until January 9, 2017 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
