This excerpt taken from the ALL DEF 14A filed Mar 27, 2006. Discontinuation of Reload Options In 2004, we eliminated the reload provision as a feature for inclusion in stock option awards to executives for all future option awards, based in part on a recommendation from our outside compensation consultant. Reload provisions provide for the grant of a new option in an amount equal to the number of shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option. Reload options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Allstate common stock on grant date of the reload option, which is the date the original option is exercised. Reload options are subject to the same vesting terms and expiration date as the original option, however, the vesting schedule for the reload option commences one year after the date of grant. Option awards granted after 2003 do not include a reload provision. |
