This excerpt taken from the ALL 8-K filed Aug 5, 2009. Allstate’s Capital Position Improves
“Allstate’s capital position showed strong improvement in the second quarter,” said Don Civgin, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “At June 30, Allstate held $15.1 billion in shareholders’ equity, an improvement of $2.8 billion from the first quarter. There were $3.4 billion in assets available at the holding company level to satisfy our modest annual fixed charge obligations of $680 million over the next 12 months.

We estimate our statutory surplus at June 30, 2009 was $13.8 billion at Allstate Insurance Company, including $3.4 billion at Allstate Life Insurance Company.”
In May, Allstate demonstrated its ability to access the financial markets by refinancing $750 million of debt that matures in December 2009 with a $1 billion debt offering that was substantially oversubscribed. Also in May, Allstate announced it would not participate in the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, a component of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Despite redeeming $1.4 billion of contractholder liabilities through a tender offer and deploying more than $5 billion of short-term assets and cash receipts to generate income and capital appreciation, Allstate’s 90-day liquidity improved to $26.3 billion in cash and highly liquid assets convertible to cash without significant additional net realized capital losses.
Allstate continues to have access to $1.0 billion of funds from either commercial paper issuance or an unsecured credit facility, neither of which was utilized at June 30, 2009. Excluding the debt that was refinanced with the May offering, Allstate’s next long-term debt maturities are $40 million in 2011 and $350 million in 2012.
