Allstate (ALL)

Profit Sharing Fund Participants

        If you hold Allstate common shares through The Savings and Profit Sharing Fund of Allstate Employees (the profit sharing fund), your proxy card/voting instruction form for those shares will instruct the profit sharing fund trustee how to vote those shares. If you are an employee who received your annual meeting materials electronically, and you hold Allstate common shares both through the profit sharing fund and also directly as a registered stockholder, the voting instructions you provide electronically will be applied to both your profit sharing fund shares and your registered shares. If you return a signed proxy card/voting instruction form or vote by telephone or the Internet on a timely basis, the trustee shall vote as instructed for all Allstate common shares allocated to your profit sharing fund account unless to do so would be inconsistent with the trustee's duties.

        If your voting instructions are not received on a timely basis for the shares allocated to your profit sharing fund account, those shares will be considered "unvoted." If you return a signed proxy card/voting instruction form but do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your signed proxy card/voting instruction form will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends. The trustee will vote all unvoted shares and all unallocated shares held by the profit sharing fund as follows:

•

If the trustee receives instructions (through voting instruction forms or through telephonic or Internet instruction) on a timely basis for at least 50% of the votable allocated shares in the profit sharing fund, then it will vote all unvoted shares and unallocated shares in the same proportion and in the same manner as the shares for which timely instructions have been received, unless to do so would be inconsistent with the trustee's duties.



•

If the trustee receives instructions for less than 50% of the votable shares, the trustee shall vote all unvoted and unallocated shares in its sole discretion. However, the trustee will not use its discretionary authority to vote on adjournment of the meeting in order to solicit further proxies.

        Profit sharing fund votes receive the same level of confidentiality as all other votes. You may not vote the shares allocated to your profit sharing fund account by attending the meeting and voting in person. You must instruct The Northern Trust Company, as trustee for the profit sharing fund, on how you want your profit sharing fund shares voted.
