Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 and 1.02. Entry into and Termination of Material Definitive Agreements.
On November 16, 2020, the Registrant, Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company (the “Borrowers”) entered into a credit agreement with the lenders party thereto; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent; Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Documentation Agents; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference) (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is a new $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial term of five years expiring on November 16, 2025, with two one-year extensions that can be exercised in the first and second year of the facility upon approval of existing or replacement lenders. The term extensions only bind the lenders who vote to approve the extensions, but the Borrowers have the option to add additional lenders if the facility is not fully subscribed for the additional terms. The Credit Agreement also contains an increase provision that would make up to an additional $500 million available for borrowing provided the increased portion could be fully syndicated at a later date among existing or new lenders.
The Credit Agreement replaced a $1.0 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility dated April 27, 2012, and as amended on April 27, 2014, among the Borrowers; the lenders party thereto; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent; Bank of America, N.A. and Citibank, N.A., as Documentation Agents; and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit Agreement was terminated on November 16, 2020. The Registrant had the option to terminate the Prior Credit Agreement early and no termination penalties were incurred.
Allstate Insurance Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Allstate Life Insurance Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company.
