The aggregate principal amount of the First Tranche Waterfall Offer has been increased from $400 million to $475 million and the aggregate principal amount of the Second Tranche Waterfall Offer has been increased from $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion.  Because of these increases all of the First Tranche Waterfall Notes, Second Tranche Waterfall Notes, and Hybrid Notes validly tendered as of 5:00 p.m. New York time on June 5, 2013 will be accepted.  Allstate expects to settle the accepted Notes on June 20, 2013. The Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 22, 2013 and the related Letter of Transmittal dated May 22, 2013 (together, the "Offer Documents"), previously sent to holders of the Notes. The Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 19, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated by Allstate (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time"). Holders that validly tender their Notes after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 5, 2013 and at or prior to the applicable Expiration Time for an Offer will not be eligible to receive the Early Tender Payment and will only be eligible to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration. Holders that validly tender Notes that are accepted for purchase by Allstate will receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the most recent previous interest payment date on those Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date for such Notes, in each case rounded to the nearest cent ("Accrued Interest"). Notes validly tendered after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2013 may not be withdrawn, unless the Withdrawal Deadline is extended by Allstate. With respect to each series of Notes in the First Tranche Waterfall Offer, Second Tranche Waterfall Offer and Any and All Offer, the Reference Yield will be the applicable bid-side yield on the Reference Security as determined by the Dealer Managers in accordance with standard market practice, as of 2:00 pm New York City time, on June 6, 2013 (such date and time, the "Price Determination Time"), as reported on the Reference Page.  If such bid-side yield is not available on a timely basis on the applicable Reference Page or is manifestly erroneous, such other recognized quotation source as the Dealer Managers may select in their sole discretion. Capitalized terms used in this news release and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.
