Glossary of Terms

 
Accumulation Phase: The period begins on the date we issue your Contract (“Issue Date”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments.
Accumulation Unit: A unit of measurement used to calculate the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase.
Accumulation Unit Value: The separate value for each Variable Sub-Account’s Accumulation Unit. Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
Allstate Life (“we”): The issuer of the AIM Lifetime Plus SM II Variable Annuity, an individual and group flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract (“Contract”).
Annuitant: The individual whose age determines the latest Payout Start Date and whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a specified period). The maximum age of the Annuitant cannot exceed age 90 as of the date we receive the completed application to purchase the Contract.
Automatic Additions Program: A program that may enable you to make subsequent purchase payments of at least $100 ($500 for allocation to the Fixed Account Options) by automatically transferring money from your bank account.
Automatic Fund Rebalancing Program: A program, during the Accumulation Phase, where we automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations.
Beneficiary(ies): The person(s), who may elect to receive the death benefit or become the new Contract Owner subject to the Death of Owner provision if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date. You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may name one or more contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may change or add Beneficiaries at any time by writing to us unless you have designated an irrevocable Beneficiary.
Primary Beneficiary: the person who may elect to receive the death benefit or become the new Contract Owner, subject to the Death of Owner provisions in your contract.
Contingent Beneficiary: The person selected by the Contract owner who will receive any death benefit or guaranteed income benefit if there are no surviving primary Beneficiaries upon the death of the sole surviving Contract owner.
Cancellation Period: The time during which you have the right to cancel your Contract, generally within 20 days of receipt or any longer period as your state may require.
Code - The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Contract*: The AIM Lifetime Plus SM II Variable Annuity, an individual and group flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract between you, the Contract owner, and Allstate Life, a life insurance company.
Contract Anniversary: Each twelve-month period from that date of your Contract’s Issue Date.
Contract Owner: The person or entity who may exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by the Contract.
Contract Value: On the Issue Date, your Contract Value is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter your Contract Value at anytime during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Options.
Contract Year: The period of time measured from the date we issue your Contract or a “Contract Anniversary.”
Death Benefit Anniversary: Every 7th Contract Anniversary beginning during the Accumulation Phase. For example, the 7th, 14th and 21st Contract Anniversaries are the first three Death Benefit Anniversaries.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program: A program that automatically transfers dollar cost averaging prior to the Payout Start Date by allocating purchase payments to the Fixed Account either for 6 months (the “6 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Option”) or for 12 months (the “12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Option”). Your purchase payments will earn interest for the period you select at the current rates in effect at the time of allocation.
Due Proof of Death: Documentation needed when there is a claim for distribution on death. We will accept the following documentation as Due Proof of Death: a certified copy of death certificate, a certified copy of decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or any other proof acceptable to us.
*In certain states the Contract was available only as a group Contract. In these states, we issued you a certificate that represents your ownership and that summarizes the provisions of the group Contract. References to "Contract" in this prospectus include certificates unless the context requires otherwise.

1



Enhanced Death Benefit Rider: An option available that provides for the greatest of the base death benefits available under the Contract and, depending on the option you select, either: (a) an enhanced death benefit that captures your highest Contract Value on each Contract Anniversary; or (b) an enhanced death benefit that accumulates your Purchase Payments at a daily rate equivalent to 5% per year, both adjusted for withdrawals and subject to the terms of the benefit. The enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any nonforfeiture laws which govern the Contract.
Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider: The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider is the same as that described above under "Enhanced Death Benefit Rider." The enhanced income benefit defines a minimum amount applied to the Payout Phase. This minimum amount is equal to what the value of the enhanced death benefit would be on the Payout Start Date, but this may vary in some states.
Fixed Account Options: The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. You may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account. You may choose from among 3 Fixed Account Options including 2 Dollar Cost Averaging Options and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods. The Fixed Account Options may not be available in all states.
Free Withdrawal Amount: During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the Contract Value as of the beginning of that Contract Year without paying the charge. Unused portions of this 15% “Free Withdrawal Amount” are not carried forward to future Contract Years.
Funds: Refers to the mutual funds in which each Variable Sub-Account invests.
Good Order: Good Order is the standard that we apply when we determine whether an instruction is satisfactory. An instruction will be considered in Good Order if it is received at our service center: (a) in a manner that is satisfactory to us such that it is sufficiently complete and clear that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instruction and complies with all relevant laws and regulations; (b) on specific forms, or by other means we then permit (such as via telephone or electronic submission); and/or (c) with any signatures and dates as we may require. We will notify you if an instruction is not in Good Order.
Guarantee Periods: The period of time during which each payment or transfer allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee. The Guarantee Periods may not be available in your state.
Income Plan: A series of scheduled payments to you or someone you designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days before the Payout Start Date. After the Payout Start Date, you may not make withdrawals (except as described below) or change your choice of Income Plan.
Investment Alternatives: Variable Sub-Accounts offered under the Contract that invest in the shares of a corresponding Fund.
Issue Date: The date we issue your Contract.
Market Value Adjustment: We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time it is removed from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when you remove your money. The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates.
Payout Phase: The period of time that begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
Payout Start Date: The day that we apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be no later than the Annuitant’s 90th birthday, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.
Right to Cancel: Your ability to cancel your Contract within 20 days of receipt or any longer period as your state may require (“Cancellation Period”). Upon cancellation, we will return your purchase payments adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect the investment experience of any amounts allocated to the Variable Account.
Settlement Value: The amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value on the date we determine the death benefit.
Systematic Withdrawal Program: The option to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start Date.
Tax qualified contracts: Contracts held in a plan which provides that the income on tax sheltered is tax deferred, and the income from annuities held by such plans does not receive any additional tax deferral.
Valuation Date: Another term for “business day,” which refers to each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

2


Variable Account: A segregated asset account under Illinois insurance law. That means we account for the Variable Account’s income, gains, and losses separately from the results of our other operations. The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub- Accounts, each of which is available under the Contract.
Variable Sub-Account: An investment in the shares of corresponding funds.

The Contract at a Glance

 
The following is a snapshot of the Contract. Please read the remainder of this prospectus for more information.
Flexible Payments
We are no longer offering new Contracts. You can add to your Contract as often and as much as you like, but each payment must be at least $500 ($100 for automatic purchase payments to the variable investment options). You must maintain a minimum account size of $1,000.
Right to Cancel
You may cancel your Contract within 20 days of receipt or any longer period as your state may require (“Cancellation Period”). Upon cancellation we will return your purchase payments adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect the investment experience of any amounts allocated to the Variable Account. The adjustment will reflect the deduction of mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges. The amount you receive will be less applicable federal and state income tax withholding.
Expenses
You will bear the following expenses:
 
Total Variable Account annual fees equal to 1.10% of daily net assets (1.30% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider; 1.50% if you select the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider (available with Contracts issued before July 27, 2000); and 1.60% if you select the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II (available with Contracts issued on or after July 27, 2000)).
 
• Annual contract maintenance charge of $35 (with certain exceptions)
 
• Withdrawal Charges ranging from 0% to 7% of payment withdrawn (with certain exceptions)
 
• Transfer fee of $10 after 12th transfer in any Contract Year (fee currently waived)
 
• State premium tax (if your state imposes one)
 
In addition, each Fund pays expenses that you will bear indirectly if you invest in a Variable Sub-Account.
Investment Alternatives
The Contract offers various investment alternatives including:
 
• Fixed Account Options (which credit interest at rates we guarantee)
 
• Variable Sub-Accounts investing in Funds offering professional money management by Invesco Advisers, Inc.
 
To find out current rates being paid on the Fixed Account Options, or to find out how the Variable Sub-Accounts have performed, please call us at 1-800-457-7617.
Special Services
For your convenience, we offer these special services:
 
• Automatic Fund Rebalancing Program
 
• Automatic Additions Program
 
• Dollar Cost Averaging Program
 
• Systematic Withdrawal Program
Income Payments
You can choose fixed income payments, variable income payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your income payments in one of the following ways:
 
• life income with guaranteed payments
 
• a joint and survivor life income with guaranteed payments
 
• guaranteed payments for a specified period (5 to 30 years)
Death Benefits
If you or the Annuitant (if the Contract is owned by a non-living person) die before the Payout Start Date, we will pay the death benefit described in the Contract. We also offer an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and an Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.
Transfers
Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract value (“Contract Value”) among the investment alternatives, with certain restrictions.
 
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each “Contract Year,” which we measure from the date we issue your contract or a Contract anniversary (“Contract Anniversary”).
Withdrawals
You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at anytime during the Accumulation Phase. Full or partial withdrawals are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date.
 
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time ($1,000 for withdrawals made during the Payout Phase). Withdrawals in the Payout Phase are only available if the Payout Option is a Variable Income Payment using Guaranteed Payments for a Specified Period. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. In a Tax Qualified Contract, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge and Market Value Adjustment also may apply.

How the Contract Works

 
The Contract basically works in two ways. First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the Contract Owner) save for retirement because you can invest in up to 16 investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “Accumulation Phase” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “Issue Date”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in the Fixed Account Options, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Funds.
Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “Income Plans”) described in the “Income Payment” section of this prospectus. You receive income payments during what we call the “Payout Phase” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Funds. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.
 
aimlifetimeprospectus_image1.jpg
As the Contract Owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract Owner, or if there is none, the Beneficiary will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. See “The Contract.” In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we will pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract Owner, or if there is none, to your Beneficiary. See “Death Benefits.”
Please call us at 1-800-457-7617 if you have any questions about how the Contract works.

invested $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated,
earned a 5% annual return on your investment, and
elect the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II, which has the maximum optional benefit charge.
allocate all of your Account Value to the sub-Account with the Maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses as listed in the Expense Table, and these remain the same each year.*

The examples also assume:
No tax charge applies.
For each charge, we deduct the maximum charge rather than current charge.
You make no transfers, or other transactions for which we charge a fee.
Amounts shown in the examples are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Financial Information

To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “Accumulation Unit.” Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “Accumulation Unit Value.” Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund. Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date we first offered the Contracts. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account’s finances, please refer to the Variable Account’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information.
The financial statements of Allstate Life and Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I also appear in the Statement of Additional Information. For a free copy of the Statement of Additional Information, please write or call us at 1-800- 457-7617.

The Contract

 
CONTRACT OWNER
The AIM Lifetime PlusSM II Variable Annuity is a contract between you (the Contract Owner) and Allstate Life, a life insurance company. As the Contract Owner, you may exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,
the amount and timing of your Purchase Payments and withdrawals,
the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,
the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,
the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income payments will be based,

7


the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving Contract Owner or Annuitant dies, and
any other rights that the Contract provides.
If you die, any surviving Contract Owner or, if none, the Beneficiary may exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-living person and a living person. If the Contract Owner is a Grantor Trust, the Contract Owner will be considered a non-living person for purposes of this section and the Death Benefits section. The maximum age of the oldest Contract Owner cannot exceed age 90 as of the date we receive the completed application to purchase the Contract.
Changing ownership of this Contract may cause adverse tax consequences and may not be allowed under certain retirement plans. Please consult with a tax advisor prior to making a request for a change of Contract Owner.
The Contract can also be purchased as an IRA or TSA (also known as a 403(b)). The endorsements required to qualify these annuities under the Code may limit or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose age determines the latest Payout Start Date and whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a specified period). You initially designate an Annuitant in your application to purchase the Contract. The maximum age of the Annuitant cannot exceed age 90 as of the date we receive the completed application to purchase the Contract. If the Contract Owner is a living person, you may change the Annuitant prior to the Payout Start Date. If a non-Qualified contract is held by a non-living person, any change in the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Annuitant and will activate the distribution requirements outlined in the Death Benefit section. In our discretion, we may permit you to designate a joint Annuitant, who is a second person on whose life income payments depend, on the Payout Start Date. If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:
the youngest Contract Owner if living, otherwise
the youngest Beneficiary.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is the person who may elect to receive the death benefit or become the new Contract Owner subject to the Death of Owner provision if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date. (See section titled “Death Benefits” for details.) If the sole surviving Contract Owner dies after the Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments scheduled to continue.
You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may also name one or more contingent Beneficiaries who will receive any death benefit or guaranteed income benefit if there are no surviving primary Beneficiaries upon the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner. You may change or add Beneficiaries at any time by writing to us unless you have designated an irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be signed and filed with us. Any change will be effective at the time you sign the written notice, whether or not the Annuitant is living when we receive the notice. Until we receive your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or if the named Beneficiary is no longer living and there are no other surviving Beneficiaries, the new Beneficiary will be:
your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,
your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,
your estate.
If more than one Beneficiary survives you, we will divide the death benefit among your Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you have not given us written instructions, we will pay the Death Benefit in equal amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.
You may restrict income payments to Beneficiaries by providing us a written request. Once we accept the written request, the change or restriction will take effect as of the date you signed the request. Any change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept the change.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only an Allstate Life officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change the terms of the

8


Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
ASSIGNMENT
No Owner has a right to assign any interest in a Contract as collateral or security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under the Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits under the Contract until they are due. We will not be bound by any assignment until the Assignor signs it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or tax penalties. You should consult with an attorney before trying to assign your Contract.
Purchases

MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Your initial Purchase Payment must be at least $5,000 ($2,000 for a Tax Qualified Contract). All subsequent Purchase Payments must be $500 or more. The maximum Purchase Payment is $2,000,000 without prior approval. We reserve the right to reduce the minimum Purchase Payment and to change the maximum Purchase Payment. You may make Purchase Payments of at least $500 at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. We also reserve the right to reject any application. We may apply certain limitations, restrictions, and/or underwriting standards as a condition of acceptance of purchase payments.
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AGE
You can purchase a Contract if, as of the date we receive the completed application you are between your state’s age of majority and 90. If the Owner is a non-living person, then the Annuitant must be between the ages of 0 and 90, as of the date we receive the completed application.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make additional Purchase Payments of at least $100 ($500 for allocation to the Fixed Account Options) by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Please consult with your sales representative for detailed information.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your Purchase Payment among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your allocations by notifying us in writing. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Investment Alternatives.
We will allocate your Purchase Payments to the Investment Alternatives according to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us in writing otherwise, we will allocate subsequent Purchase Payments according to the allocation for the previous Purchase Payment. We will effect any change in allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in Good Order.
We will credit the initial Purchase Payment that accompanies your completed application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment at our service center. (Mailing address: P.O. Box 758566, Topeka, KS 66675-8566). If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Contract within that 5 business day period. If you do not, we will return your Purchase Payment at the end of the 5 business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete the application. We will credit subsequent Purchase Payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the Purchase Payment at our service center.
We use the term “business day” to refer to each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “Valuation Dates.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your Purchase Payment after 3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your Purchase Payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
There may be circumstances where the New York Stock Exchange is open, however, due to inclement weather, natural disaster or other circumstances beyond our control, our offices may be closed or our business processing capabilities may be restricted. Under those circumstances, your Contract Value may fluctuate based on changes in the Accumulation Unit Values, but you may not be able to transfer Contract Value, or make a purchase or redemption request.
With respect to any purchase payment that is pending investment in our Variable Account, we may hold the amount temporarily in a suspense account and may earn interest on amounts held in that suspense account. You will not be credited with any interest on amounts held in that suspense account.

9


RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may cancel your Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation Period, which is the 20-day period after you receive the Contract, or such longer period that your state may require. You may return it by delivering it or mailing it to us. If you exercise this “Right to Cancel,” the Contract terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your Purchase Payments allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect investment gain or loss and applicable charges that occurred from the date of allocation through the date of cancellation. The amount you receive will be less applicable federal and state income tax withholding. Some states may require us to return a greater amount to you. If your Contract is an IRA qualified under Code Section 408(b), we will refund the greater of any purchase payment or the Contract Value.
Contract Value

On the Issue Date, your Contract Value is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Options.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the Purchase Payment you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 Purchase Payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account will rise or fall to reflect:
changes in the share price of the Fund in which the Variable Sub-Account invests, and
the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge
We determine contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees (currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect the Accumulation Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming Accumulation Units. For details on how we compute Accumulation Unit Value, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information. We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider, and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II described in the “Death Benefits” section of this prospectus.
You should refer to the prospectus for the Funds for a description of how the assets of each Fund are valued, since that determination directly bears on the Accumulation Unit Value of the corresponding Variable Sub-Account and, therefore, your Contract Value.

Investment Alternatives: The Variable Sub-Accounts

You may allocate your purchase payments to up to 13 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Fund. Each Fund has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe the Funds below.
For more complete information about each Fund, including expenses and risks associated with the Fund, please refer to the prospectus for the Fund. We will mail you a prospectus for each Fund related to the Variable Sub-Account to which you allocate your Purchase payment. The Variable Sub-Accounts that you select are your choice - we do not provide investment advice, nor do we recommend any particular Variable Sub-Account. Please consult with a qualified investment professional if you wish to obtain investment advice. You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment alternatives when making an allocation to the Variable Sub-Accounts. To obtain any or all of the underlying Fund prospectuses, please contact us at 1-800-457-7617.

*The investment objective(s) of each Sub-Account may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Directors without shareholder approval.
 Amounts you allocate to Variable Sub-Accounts may grow in value, decline in value, or grow less than you expect, depending on the investment performance of the Funds in which those Variable Sub-Accounts invest. You bear the investment risk that the Funds might not meet their investment objectives. Shares of the Funds are not deposits, or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency.
Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options

You may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account. You may choose from among 3 Fixed Account Options including 2 Dollar Cost Averaging Options and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods. The Fixed Account Options may not be available in all states. Please consult with your sales representative for current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTIONS
You may establish a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, as described in the “Transfers” section of this prospectus, by allocating purchase payments to the Fixed Account either for 6 months (the “6 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Option”) or for 12 months (the “12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Option”). Your purchase payments will earn interest for the period you select at the current rates in effect at the time of allocation. Rates may differ from those available for the Guarantee Periods described below.
You must transfer all of your money out of the 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Options to other investment alternatives in equal monthly installments beginning within 30 days of allocation. The number of monthly installments must be no more than 6 for the 6 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Option, and no more than 12 for the 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Option.
If we do not receive allocation instructions from you within one month of the date of the payment, the payment plus associated interest will be transferred to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account in equal monthly installments using the longest transfer period being offered at the time the Purchase Payment is made.

11


At the end of the applicable transfer period, any nominal amounts remaining in the Dollar Cost Averaging Option will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account.
Transfers out of the 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Options do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee.
You may not transfer funds from other Investment Alternatives to either the 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Options. The 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Options may not be available in your state.
GUARANTEE PERIODS
Each payment or transfer allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. In the future, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
You select a Guarantee Period for each purchase or transfer. If you do not select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for your most recent purchase payment, if available. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to this Option. Each Purchase Payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $500.
The Guarantee Periods may not be available in your state.
INTEREST RATES
We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we are offering at a particular time. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the same length that begin at different times. We will not change the interest rate that we credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period.
We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. We determine the interest rates to be declared in our sole discretion. We can neither predict nor guarantee what those rates will be in the future. For current interest rate information, please contact your sales representative or Allstate Life at 1-800-457-7617. The interest rates we credit will never be less than the minimum guaranteed rate stated in the Contract.
HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST
We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the effective annual interest rate that we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. The following example illustrates how a purchase payment allocated to this Option would grow, given an assumed Guarantee Period and annual interest rate:

Total Interest Credited During Guarantee Period = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)
This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5-year Guarantee Period. If you were to make a partial withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict current or future interest rates to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above but will never be less than the guaranteed minimum rate stated in the Contract, if any.
Renewals.     Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
1)
Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the expired Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that length; or
2)
Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or
3)
Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the transfer on the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred to include a Market Value Adjustment; or
4)
Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay income taxes, premium taxes, and be subject to withholding (if applicable). The amount withdrawn will be deemed to have been withdrawn on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. Amounts not withdrawn will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends.
Market Value Adjustment.    All withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount, transfers, and amounts applied to an Income Plan from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken during the 30-day period after such Guarantee Period expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment may apply in the calculation of the Settlement Value described below in the “Death Benefit Amount” section below. We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a transfer you make as part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program. We also will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:
within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described in the “Expenses” section of this prospectus,
when exercising the confinement, unemployment, widow withdrawals or terminal illness waivers, or
to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rule for the Contract.
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time it is removed from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when you remove your money. “Treasury Rate” means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, income tax, premium taxes, and income tax withholding (if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal of your Contract Value to an amount that is less than the purchase payment plus interest at the minimum guaranteed interest rate under the Contract.
Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred, or applied to an Income Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable current Treasury Rate, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower amount payable to you, transferred, or applied to an Income Plan.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5-year Treasury Rate for that duration is 4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at that later time, the current 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a decrease in the amount payable to you.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.

Investment Alternatives: Transfers

TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer your Contract Value among the investment alternatives. Transfers are not permitted into the 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Options. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provide or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $500. We currently do not assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess of 12 per Contract Year. We treat transfers to or from more than one Fund on the same day as one transfer.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account Options for up to 6 months from the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers from any Fixed Account Option for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the transfer.
If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30-day period after a Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the amount by a Market Value Adjustment.
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which your variable income payments will be based. In addition, you will have a limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. You may not, however, convert any of your fixed income payments into variable income payments. You may not make any transfers for the first 6 months after the Payout Start Date. Thereafter, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. Your transfers must be at least 6 months apart.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-457-7617. The cut off time for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central Time. In the event that the New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone requests received at any telephone number other than the number that appears in this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privileges, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may be liable for such losses.
MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING
The Contracts are intended for long-term investment. Market timing and excessive trading can potentially dilute the value of Variable Sub-Accounts and can disrupt management of a Fund and raise its expenses, which can impair Fund performance and adversely affect your Contract Value. Our policy is not to accept knowingly any money intended for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading. Accordingly, you should not invest in the Contract if your purpose is to engage in market timing or excessive trading, and you should refrain from such practices if you currently own a Contract.
We seek to detect market timing or excessive trading activity by reviewing trading activities. Funds also may report suspected market-timing or excessive trading activity to us. If, in our judgment, we determine that the transfers are part of a market timing strategy or are otherwise harmful to the underlying Fund, we will impose the trading limitations as described below under “Trading Limitations.” Because there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will use our reasonable judgment based on all of the circumstances.

14


While we seek to deter market timing and excessive trading in Variable Sub-Accounts, because our procedures involve the exercise of reasonable judgment, we may not identify or prevent some market timing or excessive trading. Moreover, imposition of trading limitations is triggered by the detection of market timing or excessive trading activity, and the trading limitations are not applied prior to detection of such trading activity. Therefore, our policies and procedures do not prevent such trading activity before it is detected. As a result, some investors may be able to engage in market timing and excessive trading, while others are prohibited, and the Fund may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.
TRADING LIMITATIONS
We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, require that all future transfer requests be submitted through U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery, or to refuse any transfer request, if:
we believe, in our sole discretion, that certain trading practices, such as excessive trading, by, or on behalf of, one or more Contract Owners, or a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests, may have a detrimental effect on the Accumulation Unit Values of any Variable Sub-Account or on the share prices of the corresponding Fund or otherwise would be to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners; or
we are informed by one or more of the Funds that they intend to restrict the purchase, exchange, or redemption of Fund shares because of excessive trading or because they believe that a specific transfer or group of transfers would have a detrimental effect on the prices of Fund shares.
In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:
the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request;
the number of transfers you make over a period of time and/or the period of time between transfers (note: one set of transfers to and from a Variable Sub-Account in a short period of time can constitute market timing);
whether your transfers follow a pattern that appears designed to take advantage of short term market fluctuations, particularly within certain Variable Sub-Account underlying Funds that we have identified as being susceptible to market timing activities (e.g., International, High Yield, and Small Cap Variable Sub-Accounts);
whether the manager of the underlying Fund has indicated that the transfers interfere with Fund management or otherwise adversely impact the Fund; and
the investment objectives and/or size of the Variable Sub-Account underlying Fund.
We seek to apply these trading limitations uniformly. However, because these determinations involve the exercise of discretion, it is possible that we may not detect some market timing or excessive trading activity. As a result, it is possible that some investors may be able to engage in market timing or excessive trading activity, while others are prohibited, and the Fund may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.
If we determine that a Contract Owner has engaged in market timing or excessive trading activity, we will require that all future transfer requests be submitted through U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery. If we determine that a Contract Owner continues to engage in a pattern of market timing or excessive trading activity we will restrict that Contract Owner from making future additions or transfers into the impacted Variable Sub-Account(s) or will restrict that Contract Owner from making future additions or transfers into the class of Variable Sub-Account(s) if the Variable Sub-Accounts(s) involved are vulnerable to arbitrage market timing trading activity (e.g., International, High Yield, and Small Cap Variable Sub-Accounts).
In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.
SHORT TERM TRADING FEES
The underlying Funds are authorized by SEC regulation to adopt and impose redemption fees if a Fund’s Board of Directors determines that such fees are necessary to minimize or eliminate short-term transfer activity that can reduce or dilute the value of outstanding shares issued by the Fund. The Fund will set the parameters relating to the redemption fee and such parameters may vary by Fund. If a Fund elects to adopt and charge redemption fees, these fees will be passed on to the Contract Owner(s) responsible for the short-term transfer activity generating the fee.
We will administer and collect redemption fees in connection with transfers between the Variable Sub-Accounts and forward these fees to the Fund. Please consult the Fund’s prospectus for more complete information regarding the fees and charges associated with each Fund.

15


DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
You may make transfers automatically through dollar cost averaging prior to the Payout Start Date. There are three different ways to use the Dollar Cost Averaging Program:
1)
You may allocate purchase payments to the Fixed Account Options for the specific purpose of dollar cost averaging.
2)
You may dollar cost average out of any Variable Sub-Account into any other Variable Sub-Account(s).
3)
You may transfer interest credited from a Guarantee Period(s) to any Variable Sub-Account without application of a Market Value Adjustment.
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfers count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However, participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in a declining market.
AUTOMATIC FUND REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the performance of each Variable Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you allocated to each Variable Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Fund Rebalancing Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. Money you allocate to the Fixed Account will not be included in the rebalancing.
We will rebalance your account each quarter according to your instructions. We will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your written or telephone request. We are not responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of proper notice of your request.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Variable Sub-Account and 60% to be in the Invesco V.I. American Franchise Variable Sub-Account. Over the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter we would sell some of your units in the Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Variable Sub-Account and use the money to buy more units in the Invesco V.I. American Franchise Variable Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.
The Automatic Fund Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject to a transfer fee.
Fund rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.
Expenses

As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a $35 contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value invested in each Variable Sub-Account in proportion to the amount invested. During the Payout Phase, we will deduct the charge proportionately from each income payment.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur in processing purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals, and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and income payments; and issuing reports to Contract owners and regulatory agencies. We cannot increase the charge. We will waive this charge if:
total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or
all money is allocated to the Fixed Account Options, as of the Contract Anniversary.

16


After the Payout Start Date, we will waive this charge if:
as of the Payout Start Date, the Contract Value is $50,000 or more, or
all income payments are fixed amount income payments.
If you surrender your Contract, we will deduct a full contract maintenance charge unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.00% of the daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts (1.20% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, 1.40% if you select the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider (available with contracts issued before July 27, 2000), and 1.50% for Contracts with the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II (available with Contracts issued on or after July 27, 2000)).
The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will not be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then Allstate Life will bear the loss. We charge additional amounts for the Enhanced Death Benefit and Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination riders to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing each rider. Neither the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider, or Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II are available under a Contract that is continued by a surviving spouse. After the death of the Contract Owner, if the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract in the Accumulation Phase, then the mortality and expense risk charge will be 1.00% from the date we determine the value of the death benefit through the remainder of the life of the continued Contract.
We guarantee the mortality and expense risk charge and we cannot increase it. We assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of the daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the revenues from the contract maintenance charge. No necessary relationship exists between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributable to that Contract. We assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase. We guarantee that we will not raise this charge.
TRANSFER FEE
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Fund Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a Withdrawal Charge of up to 7% of the Purchase Payment(s) you withdraw. The charge declines to 0% after 7 complete years from the date we received the Purchase Payment being withdrawn. A schedule showing how the charge declines appears in the “Expense Table” section of this prospectus, above. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the Contract Value as of the beginning of that Contract Year without paying the charge. Unused portions of this 15% “Free Withdrawal Amount” are not carried forward to future Contract Years. We will deduct Withdrawal Charges, if applicable, from the amount paid. For purposes of the Withdrawal Charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest Purchase Payments first. However, for federal income tax purposes, earnings are considered to come out first, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
If you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the Withdrawal Charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the Withdrawal Charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower.
We do not apply a Withdrawal Charge in the following situations:
on the Payout Start Date (a Withdrawal Charge may apply if you elect to receive income payments for a specified period of less than 120 months);
the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (unless the settlement value is used);
withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or
withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers described below.
We use the amounts obtained from the Withdrawal Charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts. To the extent that the Withdrawal Charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the

17


mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fees described above, to make up any difference. Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties or income tax and a Market Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.
Confinement Waiver.    We will waive the Withdrawal Charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1.
you, or the Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-living person, are first confined to a long term care facility or a hospital (as defined in the Contract) for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date;
2.
we must receive your request for the withdrawal and due proof (as defined in the Contract) of the stay no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s stay at the long term care facility or hospital; and
3.
a physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract).
You may not claim this benefit if you, or the Annuitant, or a member of your or the Annuitant’s immediate family (as defined in the Contract), is the physician prescribing your or the Annuitant’s stay in a long term care facility.
Terminal Illness Waiver.    We will waive the Withdrawal Charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if:
1.
you (or the Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a living person) are first diagnosed by a physician (we may require a second or a third opinion) with a terminal illness (as defined in the Contract) at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and
2.
you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.
Unemployment Waiver.    We will waive the Withdrawal Charge and any Market Value Adjustment on one partial or a full withdrawal taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:
1.
you or the Annuitant become unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;
2.
you or the Annuitant have been granted unemployment compensation (as defined in the Contract) for at least 30 days as a result of that unemployment and we receive due proof thereof (as defined in the Contract) prior to or at the time of the withdrawal request; and
3.
you or the Annuitant exercise this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant’s initial receipt of unemployment compensation.
You may exercise this benefit once during the life of your Contract. This waiver applies upon the unemployment of the Annuitant only if the Contract Owner is not a living person.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you are not required to pay our Withdrawal Charge because of these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the effect of a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender. Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs, including payment upon death. We may discontinue this practice sometime in the future and deduct premium taxes from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5%, depending on the state. At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We may assess a charge against the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Rate Options equal to any taxes which may be imposed upon the Separate Account. We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this Separate Account product. While we may consider company income taxes when pricing our products, we do not currently include such income taxes in the Tax Charge you pay under the contract. We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future. In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including Separate Account assets, which are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits may include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions. We do not pass these tax benefits through to holders of the Separate Account annuity

18


contracts because (i) the contract owners are not the owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law and (ii) we do not currently include company income taxes in the Tax Charge you pay under the contract. We reserve the right to change these tax practices.
Our status under the Code is briefly described in the “Taxes” section of this prospectus.
Other Expenses

Each Fund deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Fund whose shares are held by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the accompanying prospectus for the Funds. For a summary of current estimates of those charges and expenses, see the “Expense Table” section of this prospectus.
Access to Your Money

 
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. Withdrawals also are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date. See the “Income Plans” subsection in the “Income Payments” section of this prospectus.
The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our service center, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any withdrawal charges, contract maintenance charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, and any premium taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances.
You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal charge and premium taxes.
You have the opportunity to name the Investment Alternative(s) from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is specified, we will deduct your withdrawal pro-rata from the Investment Alternatives according to the value of your investments therein.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable Sub-Account.
If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to us. We also will deduct a contract maintenance charge of $35, unless we have waived the contract maintenance charge on your Contract.
Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.
WRITTEN REQUESTS AND FORMS IN GOOD ORDER.
Written requests must include sufficient information and/or documentation, and be sufficiently clear, to enable us to complete your request without the need to exercise discretion on our part to carry it out. You may contact our Customer Service Center to learn what information we require for your particular request to be in “good order.” Additionally, we may require that you submit your request on our form. We reserve the right to determine whether any particular request is in good order, and to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:
1.
The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
2.
An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or
3.
The SEC permits delay for your protection.
We may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Options for up to 6 months or shorter period if required by law. If we delay payment or transfer for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law. Any interest would be payable from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make the payment or transfer.

19


SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50. At our discretion, systematic withdrawals may not be offered in conjunction with the Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Fund Rebalancing Programs.
Depending on fluctuations in the accumulation unit value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the value of the Fixed Account, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even exhaust the Contract Value. Systematic withdrawal payments are subject to any applicable withdrawal charges and market value adjustments. Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. We may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce the Contract Value to less than $1,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. Before terminating any Contract whose value has been reduced by withdrawals to less than $1,000, we would inform you in writing of our intention to terminate your Contract and give you at least 30 days in which to make an additional Purchase Payment to restore your Contract’s value to the contractual minimum of $1,000. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges, and taxes.
Income Payments

 
PAYOUT START DATE
You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The Payout Start Date is the day that we apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be no later than the Annuitant’s 90th birthday, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An “Income Plan” is a series of payments on a scheduled basis to you or to another person designated by you. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10 years. After the Payout Start Date, you may not make withdrawals (except as described below) or change your choice of Income Plan.
Three Income Plans are available under the Contract. Each is available to provide:
fixed income payments;
variable income payments; or
a combination of the two.
A portion of each payment will be considered taxable and the remaining portion will be a non-taxable return of your investment in the Contract, which is also called the “basis”. Once the basis in the Contract is depleted, all remaining payments will be fully taxable. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally, all payments will be fully taxable. Taxable payments taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.
The three Income Plans are:
Income Plan 1 – Life Income with Guaranteed Payments.    Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by the Contract.
Income Plan 2 – Joint and Survivor Life Income with Guaranteed Payments.    Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is alive. If both the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant die before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by the Contract.
Income Plan 3 – Guaranteed Payments for a Specified Period (5 Years to 30 Years).    Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. Income payments for less than 120

20


months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account assets which support variable income payments even though we do not bear any mortality risk.
The length of any guaranteed payment period under your selected Income Plan generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments made under the same Income Plan with a minimum specified period for guaranteed payments.
If you choose Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if available, another Income Plan with payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is alive before we make each payment.
Please note that under such Income Plans, if you elect to take no minimum guaranteed payments, it is possible that the payee could receive only 1 income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die before the third income payment, and so on.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals after the Payout Start Date. One exception to this rule applies if you are receiving variable income payments that do not depend on the life of the Annuitant (such as under Income Plan 3). In that case you may terminate all or a portion of the Variable Account portion of the income payments at any time and receive a lump sum equal to the present value of the remaining variable payments associated with the amount withdrawn. To determine the present value of any remaining variable income payments being withdrawn, we use a discount rate equal to the assumed annual investment rate that we use to compute such variable income payments. The minimum amount you may withdraw under this feature is $1,000. A withdrawal charge may apply. We also deduct applicable premium taxes from the Contract Value at the Payout Start Date.
We may make other Income Plans available. You may obtain information about them by writing or calling us.
You may apply all or part of your Contract Value to an Income Plan. If you elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider, you may be able to apply an amount greater than your Contract Value. You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account Options on the Payout Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your Fixed Account Option balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account Options to fixed income payments. We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date. If the Contract Value is less than $2,000 or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:
pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen, or
reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20.
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the payments will not be affected by (a) actual mortality experience and (b) the amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments. Your variable income payments may be more or less than your total purchase payments because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the underlying Funds and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than we expect based on the tables we use.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the Contract, we assumed an annual investment rate of 3%. If the actual net investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than this assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase, however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the assumed investment rate. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net investment return equals the assumed investment rate.
Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments. We reserve the right to make other assumed investments rates available under this contract.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:
1)
adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;

21


2)
deducting any applicable premium tax; and
3)
applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are offering at that time.
We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or such shorter times as state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make payment.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is appropriate.
Death Benefits

 
We will pay a death benefit if, prior to the Payout Start Date:
1.
any Contract Owner dies or,
2.
the Annuitant dies, if the Contract is owned by a company or other non-living Owner.
We will pay the death benefit to the new Contract Owner who is determined immediately after the death. The new Contract Owner would be a surviving Contract Owner or, if none, the Beneficiary(ies). In the case of the death of the Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit to the current Contract Owner. A claim for a distribution on death must include “Due Proof of Death.” We will accept the following documentation as Due Proof of Death:
a certified copy of a death certificate; or
a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to a finding of death; or
any other proof acceptable to us.
We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If we receive a request after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
Where there are multiple beneficiaries, we will only value the death benefit at the time the first beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in good order. Any death benefit amounts attributable to any beneficiary which remain in the investment alternatives are subject to investment risk.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT
Prior to the Payout Start Date, if we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit within 180 days of the date of death, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
1)
the Contract Value as of the date we determine the death benefit, or
2)
the Settlement Value (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the death benefit, or
3)
the sum of all Purchase Payments reduced by a withdrawal adjustment, as defined below, or
4)
the greatest of the Contract Values on each Death Benefit Anniversary prior to the date we determine the death benefit, increased by Purchase Payments made since that Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by a withdrawal adjustment as defined below.
In calculating the Settlement Value, the amount in each individual Guarantee Period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts in a Guarantee Period, unless we calculate the Settlement Value during the 30-day period after the expiration of the Guarantee Period. Also, the Settlement Value will reflect deduction of any applicable Withdrawal Charges, contract maintenance charges, and premium taxes.
A Death Benefit Anniversary is every seventh Contract Anniversary during the Accumulation Phase. For example, the 7th, 14th, and 21st Contract Anniversaries are the first three Death Benefit Anniversaries.

22


The “withdrawal adjustment” is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where:
(a)
is the withdrawal amount;
(b)
is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and
(c)
is the value of the applicable death benefit alternative immediately prior to the withdrawal.
If we do not receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit within 180 days of the date of death, the death benefit is equal to the greater of;
1)
the Contract Value as of the date we determine the death benefit, or
2)
the Settlement Value.
We reserve the right to extend, on a non-discriminatory basis, the 180-day period in which the death proceeds will equal the death benefit as described above. This right applies only to the amount payable as death proceeds and in no way restricts when a claim may be filed.
A Market Value Adjustment, if any, made upon payment of a death benefit would be positive.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER
If the oldest Contract Owner, or Annuitant if the Contract Owner is a non-living person, is less than or equal to age 80 as of the date we receive the completed application, the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider is an optional benefit that you may elect. If you elect the rider, the death benefit will be the greater of the death benefit alternatives (1) through (4) listed above, or (5) the enhanced death benefit.
If the Contract Owner is a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only for the death of the Contract Owner. If the Contract Owner is not a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only for the death of the Annuitant. The enhanced death benefit is equal to the greater of Enhanced Death Benefit A or Enhanced Death Benefit B. Enhanced Death Benefit B may not be available in all states.
The enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any nonforfeiture laws which govern the Contract.
The Enhanced Death Benefit Rider benefit is not available under a contract that is continued by a surviving spouse. After the death of the Contract Owner, if the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract in the Accumulation Phase, then the mortality and expense risk charge will be 1.00% from the date we determine the value of the death benefit through the remainder of the life of the continued Contract, and any death benefit paid under a continued Contract will not include the enhanced death benefit.
Enhanced Death Benefit A.    The Enhanced Death Benefit A on the Issue Date is equal to the initial Purchase Payment. On each Contract Anniversary, we will recalculate your Enhanced Death Benefit A to equal the greater of your Contract Value on that date, or the most recently calculated Enhanced Death Benefit A. We also will recalculate your Enhanced Death Benefit A whenever you make an additional Purchase Payment or a partial withdrawal. Additional Purchase Payments will increase the Enhanced Death Benefit A dollar-for-dollar.
Withdrawals will reduce the Enhanced Death Benefit A by an amount equal to a withdrawal adjustment computed in the manner described above under “Death Benefit Amount.”
In the absence of any withdrawals or Purchase Payments, the Enhanced Death Benefit A will be the greatest of all Contract Anniversary Contract Values on or before the date we calculate the death benefit.
We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the oldest Contract Owner’s or, if the Contract owner is not a living person, the oldest Annuitant’s, 85th birthday. After age 85, we will recalculate the Enhanced Death Benefit A only for Purchase Payments and withdrawals. The Enhanced Death Benefit A will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any non-forfeiture laws which govern the Contract.
Enhanced Death Benefit B.    The Enhanced Death Benefit B is equal to total Purchase Payments made reduced by a withdrawal adjustment computed in the manner described above under “Death Benefit Amount.” Each Purchase Payment and each withdrawal adjustment will accumulate daily at a rate equivalent to 5% per year until the earlier of the date
we determine the death benefit, or
the first day of the month following the oldest Contract Owner’s or, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, the Annuitant’s, 85th birthday.
The Enhanced Death Benefit B will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any non-forfeiture laws which govern the Contract.

23


Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider (available with Contracts issued before July 27, 2000. For Contracts issued on or after July 27, 2000, see the next section titled “Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II”)
If the oldest Contract Owner, or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-living person, is less than or equal to age 80 as of the date we receive the completed application, the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider is an optional benefit that you may elect, instead of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.
The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider is the same as that described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”
The enhanced income benefit defines a minimum amount applied to the Payout Phase. This minimum amount is equal to what the value of the enhanced death benefit would be on the Payout Start Date. In some states, the calculation of the enhanced income benefit will not include the value of the Enhanced Death Benefit B. Please consult with your sales representative for information.
The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract Owner elects a Payout Start Date that:
is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and
is prior to the Annuitant’s age 90.
On the Payout Start Date, you may apply the greater of the Contract Value or the enhanced income benefit to the Payout Phase of the Contract. No Market Value Adjustment will be applied to the enhanced income benefit amount. The enhanced income benefit will only apply if the Income Plan selected provides payments guaranteed for either single or joint life with a period certain of at least:
10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or
5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.
Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II (available with Contracts issued on or after July 27, 2000)
If the oldest Contract Owner is less than or equal to age 80 as of the date we receive the completed application, the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II is an optional benefit that you may elect, instead of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.
The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II is the same as that described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”
The enhanced income benefit guarantees that the minimum amount of income payments you receive will not be less than those determined by applying the Income Base on Payout Start Date, to the minimum guaranteed Income Payment Tables shown in the Contract (rather than to any current rates we may be offering) for the Income Plan you select (“Guaranteed Income Benefit”). In some states, the calculation of the enhanced income benefit will not include the value of Income Base B. Please consult with your sales representative for more information.
The Income Base is the greater of Income Base A and Income Base B. We determine each Income Base as follows:
Income Base A.    On the Rider Date, Income Base A is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, we recalculate Income Base A as follows on the Contract Anniversary and when a Purchase Payment or withdrawal is made:
For Purchase Payments, Income Base A is equal to the most recently calculated Income Base plus the Purchase Payment. For withdrawals, Income Base A is equal to the most recently calculated Income Base reduced by a withdrawal adjustment.
On each Contract Anniversary, Income Base A is equal to the greater of the Contract Value on that date or the most recently calculated Income Base A.
In the absence of any withdrawals or Purchase Payments, Income Base A will be the greatest of all the Contract Anniversary Contract Values between the Rider Date and the Payout Start Date. We will recalculate Income Base A for Purchase Payments, for withdrawals and on Contract Anniversaries until the first Contract Anniversary on or after the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or, if no Owner is a living individual, the oldest Annuitant. After that date, we will recalculate Income Base A for Purchase Payments and withdrawals.
Income Base B.    On the Rider Date, Income Base B is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, Income Base B, plus any subsequent Purchase Payments and less a withdrawal adjustment for any subsequent withdrawals, will accumulate daily at a rate equal to 5% per year until the first day of the month following the oldest Contract Owner’s or, if the Contract Owner is not a living individual, the Annuitant’s 85th birthday. After this date, Income Base B will be recalculated only for Purchase Payments and withdrawals.
For purposes of computing Income Base A or B, the withdrawal adjustment is equal to (1) divided by (2), with the result multiplied by (3), where:
1)
= withdrawal amount,
2)
= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

24


3)
= the most recently calculated Income Base.
Please consult with your sales representative for information.
The income base is used solely for the purpose of calculating the guaranteed income benefit under this Rider (“guaranteed income benefit”) and does not provide a Contract Value or guarantee performance of any investment option.
The guaranteed income benefit amount is determined by applying the enhanced income benefit amount less any applicable taxes to the guaranteed rates for the Income Plan you elect. The Income Plan you elect must satisfy the conditions described below.
The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract Owner elects a Payout Start Date that:
is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary,
is during the 30-day period following the Contract Anniversary.
is prior to the Annuitant’s 90th birthday.
The enhanced income benefit will only apply if you elect to receive fixed amount income payments. These fixed income payments will be calculated using the appropriate Guaranteed Income Payment Tables provided in your Contract.
If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.
If you expect to apply your Contract Value to variable income payment options or to current annuity payment rates then in effect, electing the enhanced income benefit may not be appropriate. No Market Value Adjustment will be applied to the enhanced income benefit amount. The enhanced income benefit will only apply if the Income Plan selected provides payments guaranteed for either single or joint life with a period certain of at least:
10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or
5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.
Neither of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider’s benefits are available under a Contract that is continued by a surviving spouse.
After the death of the Contract Owner, if the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract in the Accumulation Phase, then the mortality and expense risk charge will be 1.00% from the date we determine the value of the death benefit through the remainder of the life of the continued Contract. Any death benefit paid under a continued Contract will not include the enhanced death benefit. Any calculation of amount to be applied to an Income Plan upon annuitization under a continued Contract will not include the enhanced income benefit.
We may discontinue offering these options at any time.
If your Contract is qualified under Section 408 of the Code, we will refund the greater of any Purchase Payments or the Contract Value.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
If the new Owner is your spouse, the new Owner may:
1.
elect to receive the death benefit in a lump sum, or
2.
elect to apply the death benefit to an Income Plan. Payments from the Income Plan must begin within 1 year of the date of death and must be payable throughout:
The life of the new Owner; or
for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years, but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Owner; or
over the life of the new Owner with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Owner.
If your spouse does not elect one of the above options, the Contract will continue in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. Note that if you elected to receive required minimum distributions under a Minimum Distribution Option, the program will be discontinued upon receipt of notification of death. The final required minimum distribution must be distributed prior to establishing a beneficiary payment option for the balance of the Contract. If the Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the following restrictions apply:
On the date the Contract is continued, the Contract Value will equal the amount of the Death Benefit as determined as of the Valuation Date on which we received the completed request for settlement of the death benefit (the next Valuation Date, if we receive the completed request for settlement of the death benefit after 3 p.m. Central Time). Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the death benefit over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts.

25


This excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Variable Sub-Accounts as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the completed request for settlement of the death benefit, except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. Within 30 days of the date the Contract is continued, your surviving spouse may choose one of the following transfer alternatives without incurring a transfer fee:
transfer all or a portion of the excess among the Variable Sub-Accounts;
transfer all or a portion of the excess into the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period; or
transfer all or a portion of the excess into a combination of Variable Sub-Accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account.
Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in your Contract.
The surviving spouse may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge.
Only one spousal continuation is allowed under this Contract.
If the new Owner is not your spouse but is a living person, the new Owner may:
1.
elect to receive the death benefit in a lump sum, or
2.
elect to apply the death benefit to an Income Plan. Payments from the Income Plan must begin within 1 year of the date of death and must be payable throughout:
the life of the new Owner; or
for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years, but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Owner; or
over the life of the new Owner with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Owner.
If the new Owner does not elect one of the above options, then the new Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. The Contract Value will equal the amount of the death benefit as determined as of the Valuation Date on which we received a completed request for settlement of the death benefit (the next Valuation Date, if we receive a completed request for settlement of the death benefit after 3 p.m. Central Time). Unless otherwise instructed by the new Owner, the excess, if any, of the death benefit over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. The new Owner may exercise all rights as set forth in the Transfers section during this 5-year period.
No additional Purchase Payments may be added to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during this 5-year period.
If the new Owner dies prior to receiving all of the Contract Value, then the new Owner’s named Beneficiary(ies) will receive the greater of the Settlement Value or the remaining Contract Value. This amount must be received as a lump sum within 5 years of the date of the original Owner’s death. If we do not receive instructions on where to send the payment within 5 years of the date of death, the funds will be escheated.
We reserve the right to offer additional options upon Death of Owner.
If the new Owner is a corporation, trust, or other non-living person:
(a)
The new Owner may elect to receive the death benefit in a lump sum; or
(b)
If the new Owner does not elect the option above, then the new Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Benefit, the Contract Value under this option will be the death benefit. Unless otherwise instructed by the new Owner, the excess, if any of the death benefit over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. The new Owner may exercise all rights set forth in the Transfers provision during this 5-year period. No additional Purchase Payments may be added to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5-year period.
We reserve the right to offer additional options upon Death of Owner.
If any new Owner is a non-living person, all new Owners will be considered to be non-living persons for the above purposes.
Under any of these options, all ownership rights, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the Beneficiary, are available to the new Owner from the date of your death to the date on which the death proceeds are paid.

26


Death of Annuitant
If the Annuitant who is not also the Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date and the Contract Owner is a living person, then the Contract will continue with a new Annuitant as designated by the Contract Owner.
If the Annuitant who is not also the Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date and the Contract Owner is a non-living person, the following apply:
(a)
The Contract Owner may elect to receive the death benefit in a lump sum; or
(b)
If the Contract Owner does not elect the option above, then the Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the Annuitant’s date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the death benefit, the Contract Value under this option will be the death benefit. Unless otherwise instructed by the Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the death benefit over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. The Contract Owner may then exercise all rights set forth in the Transfers provision during this 5-year period. No additional Purchase Payments may be added to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5-year period.
We reserve the right to offer additional options upon Death of Owner.

More Information

 
ALLSTATE LIFE
Allstate Life is the issuer of the Contract. Allstate Life was organized in 1957 as a stock life insurance company under the laws of the state of Illinois. Prior to January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company (“Glenbrook”) issued the Contract. Effective January 1, 2005, Glenbrook merged with Allstate Life (“Merger”). On the date of the Merger, Allstate Life acquired from Glenbrook all of Glenbrook’s assets and became directly liable for Glenbrook’s liabilities and obligations with respect to all contracts issued by Glenbrook.
Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Illinois. All of the capital stock issued and outstanding of Allstate Insurance Company is owned by Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC, which is wholly owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Allstate Life is licensed to operate in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all jurisdictions except the state of New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3075 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.
Effective June 1, 2006, Allstate Life entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”) with Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiary, The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) pursuant to which Allstate Life sold, through a combination of coinsurance and modified coinsurance reinsurance, substantially all of its variable annuity business. Pursuant to the Agreement Allstate Life and PICA also entered into an administrative services agreement which provides that PICA or an affiliate administer the Variable Account and the Contracts. The benefits and provisions of the Contracts have not been changed by these transactions and agreements. None of the transactions or agreements have changed the fact that we are primarily liable to you under your Contract.
We receive compensation from Invesco Advisers, Inc., for administrative services we provide to the Funds. We collect this compensation under an agreement between us and Invesco Advisers, Inc., and is calculated based on percentages of the average assets allocated to each Fund.
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Allstate Life established the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I in 1999. The Contracts were previously issued through the Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A. Effective January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account and Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A combined with Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I and consolidated duplicative Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in the same Funds (the “Consolidation”). The Accumulation Unit Values for the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you invest did not change as a result of the Consolidation, and your Contract Value immediately after the Consolidation was the same as the value immediately before the Consolidation. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable Account or Allstate Life.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated asset account under Illinois insurance law. That means we account for the Variable Account’s income, gains, and losses separately from the results of our other operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations. Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of Allstate Life.
The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which are available under the Contract. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts, or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Funds. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.
THE FUNDS
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions.    We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions from the Funds in shares of the distributing Funds at their net asset value.
Voting Privileges.    As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote the shares of the Funds held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Funds that we hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with instructions that we receive from Contract owners entitled to give such instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract Owner or anyone with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Fund as of the record date of the

28


meeting. After the Payout Start Date, the person receiving income payments has the voting interest. The payee’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding eligible Fund. The votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Fund shares as we see fit without regard to voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
Changes in Funds.    If the shares of any of the Funds are no longer available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the Contract, we may eliminate that Fund and substitute shares of another eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in underlying funds. We will notify you in advance of any change.
Conflicts of Interest.    The Funds sell their shares to separate accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the same Fund. The board of trustees of the Funds monitors for possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Funds. Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, the Funds’ board of trustees may require a separate account to withdraw its participation in a Fund. A Fund’s net asset value could decrease if it had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate account withdrawing because of a conflict.
THE CONTRACT
Distribution.     Allstate Distributors, LLC (“ADLLC”), located at 3075 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts. ADLLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life.
ADLLC is a registered broker dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
We will pay commissions to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts. Commissions paid may vary, but we estimate that the total commissions paid on all Contract sales will not exceed 8.5% of all purchase payments (on a present value basis).
Sometimes, we also pay the broker-dealer a persistency bonus in addition to the standard commissions. A persistency bonus is not expected to exceed 1.20%, on an annual basis, of the Contract Values considered in connection with the bonus. Sale of the Contracts may also count toward incentive program awards for the registered representative. In some states, Contracts may be sold by representatives or employees of banks which may be acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the Exchange Act, pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.
Allstate Life does not pay ADLLC a commission for distribution of the Contracts. The underwriting agreement with ADLLC provides that we will reimburse ADLLC for any liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts issued.
Administration.   We have primary responsibility for all administration of the Contracts and the Variable Account. We entered into an administrative services agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) whereby, PICA or an affiliate provides administrative services to the Variable Account and the Contracts on our behalf. In addition, PICA entered into a master services agreement with se2, LLC, of 5801 SW 6th Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66636, whereby se2, LLC provides certain business process outsourcing services with respect to the Contracts. se2, LLC may engage other service providers to provide certain administrative functions. These service providers may change over time, and as of December 31, 2018, consisted of the following: NTT DATA, Inc. (administrative services) located at 100 City Square, Boston, MA 02129; RR Donnelley (compliance printing and mailing) located at 35 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601; Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC (f/k/a Stacks LLC) (file storage and document destruction) located at 1 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110; TierPoint, LLC (f/k/a Co- Sentry.net, LLC) (back-up printing and disaster recovery) located at 9394 West Dodge Rd, Suite 100, Omaha, NE 68114; SOVOS Compliance (f/k/a Convey Compliance Systems, Inc.)

NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITIES HELD WITHIN A QUALIFIED PLAN
If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if qualified plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your qualified plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party. Allstate Life is engaged from time to time in routine lawsuits, which, in management’s judgment, are not likely to have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on the operating results, cash flows or financial position of Allstate Life.
LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of state law pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and Allstate Life’s right to issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been passed upon by Angela K. Fontana, General Counsel of Allstate Life.
Taxes

The following discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. Allstate Life makes no guarantee regarding the tax treatment of any Contract or transaction involving a Contract.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances. If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual circumstances, you should consult a tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Allstate Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter L of the Code. Since the Variable Account is not an entity separate from Allstate Life, and its operations form a part of Allstate Life, it will not be taxed separately. Investment income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account are automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract. Under existing federal income tax law, Allstate Life believes that the Variable Account investment income and capital gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase the reserves under the Contract. Accordingly, Allstate Life does not anticipate that it will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the Variable Account, and therefore Allstate Life does not intend to make

30


provisions for any such taxes. Allstate Life will periodically review the issue of charging for taxes on investment income or capital gains of the Variable Account, and may impose a charge against the Variable Account in order to make provision for such taxes.
TAXATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
Tax Deferral.  Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
the Contract Owner is a natural person,
the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” according to Treasury Department regulations, and
Allstate Life is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal income tax purposes.  
Non-Natural Owners.    Non-natural owners are also referred to as Non Living Owners in this prospectus. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts does not enjoy tax deferral and is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the non-natural owner during the taxable year.
Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule.    There are several exceptions to the general rule that annuity contracts held by a non-natural owner are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. Contracts will generally be treated as held by a natural person if the nominal owner is a trust or other entity which holds the contract as agent for a natural person. However, this special exception will not apply in the case of an employer who is the nominal owner of an annuity contract under a non-Qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees. Other exceptions to the non-natural owner rule are: (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent; (2) certain qualified contracts; (3) contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain Qualified Plans; (4) certain contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements; and (5) immediate annuity contracts, purchased with a single premium, when the annuity starting date is no later than a year from purchase of the annuity and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity period.
Trusts are required to complete and submit a Certificate of Entity form, and we will tax report based on the information provided on this form.
Grantor Trust Owned Annuity.    Contracts owned by a grantor trust are considered owned by a non-natural owner. Grantor trust owned contracts receive tax deferral as described in the Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule section. In accordance with the Code, upon the death of the annuitant, the death benefit must be paid. According to your Contract, the Death Benefit is paid to the surviving Contract Owner. Since the trust will be the surviving Contract Owner in all cases, the Death Benefit will be payable to the trust notwithstanding any beneficiary designation on the annuity contract. A trust, including a grantor trust, has two options for receiving any death benefits: 1) a lump sum payment; or 2) payment deferred up to five years from date of death.
Diversification Requirements.     For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be “adequately diversified” consistent with standards under Treasury Department regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable year. Although Allstate Life does not have control over the Portfolios or their investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
Ownership Treatment.    The IRS has stated that a contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if he possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which investor control of the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in private and published rulings in which it found that Contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, if your contract offers more than twenty (20) investment alternatives you have the choice to allocate premiums and contract values among a broader selection of investment alternatives than described in such rulings. You may be able to transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would be includible in your gross income. Allstate Life does not know what standards will be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However, we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
Taxation of Partial and Full Withdrawals.    If you make a partial withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount you receive will be taxed as ordinary income, rather than as return of cost basis, until all gain has been withdrawn. If you make a full withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds your cost basis in the

31


Contract. An exception to this treatment exists for contracts purchased prior to August 14, 1982. Withdrawals are treated as a return of cost basis in the Annuity first until Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982 are withdrawn. Moreover, income allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, is not subject to the 10% tax penalty.
Taxation of Annuity Payments.    Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity payments received from a Non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your cost basis in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period. The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio of the cost basis in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from taxable income is determined by dividing the cost basis in the Contract by the total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable after the total amount of the cost basis in the Contract is excluded using these ratios. If any variable payment is less than the excludable amount you should contact a tax advisor to determine how to report any unrecovered investment. The federal tax treatment of annuity payments is unclear in some respects. As a result, if the IRS should provide further guidance, it is possible that the amount we calculate and report to the IRS as taxable could be different. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount may be allowed as a deduction for your last taxable year. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, this deduction is suspended until after 2025.
Maximum Annuity Date . You must commence annuity payments no later than the first day of the calendar month following the maximum Annuity Date for your Annuity. Upon reaching the maximum Annuity Date you can no longer surrender, exchange, or transfer your contract. The maximum Annuity Date may be the same as the Latest Annuity Date as described elsewhere in this prospectus. For some of our Annuities, you can choose to defer the Annuity Date beyond the default or Latest Annuity Date, as applicable, described in your Annuity. However, the IRS may not then consider your Annuity to be an Annuity under the tax law.
Partial Annuitization.   An individual may partially annuitize their non-qualified annuity if the contract so permits. The tax law allows for a portion of a non-qualified annuity, endowment or life insurance contract to be annuitized while the balance is not annuitized. The annuitized portion must be paid out over 10 or more years or over the lives of one or more individuals. The annuitized portion of the contract is treated as a separate contract for purposes of determining taxability of the payments under Section 72 of the code. We do not currently permit partial annuitization.
Taxation of Level Monthly Variable Annuity Payments. You may have an option to elect a variable income payment stream
consisting of level monthly payments that are recalculated annually. Although we will report your levelized payments to the IRS in the year distributed, it is possible the IRS could determine that receipt of the first monthly payout of each annual amount is constructive receipt of the entire annual amount. If the IRS were to take this position, the taxable amount of your levelized payments would be accelerated to the time of the first monthly payout and reported in the tax year in which the first monthly payout is received.
Withdrawals After the Payout Start Date.    Federal tax law is unclear regarding the taxation of any additional withdrawal received after the Payout Start Date. It is possible that a greater or lesser portion of such a payment could be taxable than the amount we determine.
Distribution at Death Rules.    In order to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Contract must provide:
if any Contract Owner dies on or after the Payout Start Date but before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Contract Owner’s death;
if any Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years after the date of the Contract Owner’s death. These requirements are satisfied if any portion of the Contract Owner’s interest that is payable to (or for the benefit of) a designated Beneficiary is distributed over the life of such Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary) and the distributions begin within 1 year of the Contract Owner’s death. If the Contract Owner’s designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Contract Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Contract Owner;
if the Contract Owner is a non-natural person, then the Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of applying the distribution at death rules. In addition, a change in the Annuitant on a Contract owned by a non-natural person will be treated as the death of the Contract Owner.
Taxation of Annuity Death Benefits.    Death Benefit amounts are included in income as follows:
if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a total withdrawal, or
if distributed under an Income Plan, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income.    The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2010, included a Medicare tax on investment income. This tax assesses a 3.8% surtax on the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the excess of “modified

32


adjusted gross income” over a threshold amount. The “threshold amount” is $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately, $200,000 for single taxpayers, and approximately $12,500 for trusts. The taxable portion of payments received as a withdrawal, surrender, annuity payment, death benefit payment or any other actual or deemed distribution under the contract will be considered investment income for purposes of this surtax.
Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions.    A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,
made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or becoming totally disabled,
made in substantially equal periodic payments (as defined by the Code) over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,
made under an immediate annuity and the annuity start date is no more than one year from the date of purchase (the first annuity payment must commence within 13 months of the date of purchase), or
attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.
You should consult a tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments.    With respect to non-Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments or immediate annuity payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the Contract Owner’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.
Special Rules in Relation to Tax-free Exchanges Under Section 1035. Section 1035 of the Code permits certain tax-free exchanges of a life insurance, annuity or endowment contract for an annuity, including tax-free exchanges of annuity death benefits for a Beneficiary Annuity. The contract owner(s) must be the same on the old and new contract. Basis from the old contract carries over to the new contract so long as we receive that information from the relinquishing company. If basis information is never received, we will assume that all exchanged funds represent earnings and will allocate no cost basis to them. After you elect an Income Plan, as described in the Income Payments section earlier in the prospectus, you are not eligible for a tax-free exchange under Section 1035.
Partial Exchanges.    The IRS has issued rulings that permit partial exchanges of annuity contracts. Effective for exchanges on or after October 24, 2011, where there is a surrender or distribution from either the initial annuity contract or receiving annuity contract within 180 days of the date on which the partial exchange was completed, the IRS will apply general tax rules to determine the substance and treatment of the original transfer.
If a partial exchange is retroactively negated, the amount originally transferred to the recipient contract is treated as a withdrawal from the source contract, taxable to the extent of any gain in that contract on the date of the exchange. An additional 10% tax penalty may also apply if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. Your Contract may not permit partial exchanges.
Taxation of Ownership Changes.    If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is taxed as a withdrawal of such amount or portion and may also incur the 10% penalty tax.
Aggregation of Annuity Contracts.    The Code requires that all non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by Allstate Life (or its affiliates) to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made or no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided we will automatically withhold the required 10% of the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates for all annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will

33


automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer requests payment be made to a U.S. address and provides a taxpayer identification number.
Generally, Code Section 1441 provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. We require an original IRS Form W-8(BEN,BEN-E,EXP,ECI,IMY) (Generally a Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form) at issue to certify the owners’ foreign status. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a fully completed Form W-8(BEN,BEN-E,EXP,ECI,IMY). A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
The income on tax sheltered annuity (TSA) and IRA investments is tax deferred, and the income from annuities held by such plans does not receive any additional tax deferral. You should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior to purchasing an annuity as a TSA or IRA. Tax Qualified Contracts are contracts purchased as or in connection with:
Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under Code Section 408(b);
Roth IRAs under Code Section 408A;
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP IRA) under Code Section 408(k);
Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) under Code Section 408(p);
Tax Sheltered Annuities under Code Section 403(b);
Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans under Code Section 401; and
State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation Plans under Code Section 457.
Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the retirement plans listed above or to modify the Contract to conform with tax requirements. If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waiver of charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if Qualified Plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your Qualified Plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
The tax rules applicable to participants with tax qualified annuities vary according to the type of contract and the terms and conditions of the endorsement. Adverse tax consequences may result from certain transactions such as excess contributions, premature distributions, and, distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules. Allstate Life can issue an individual retirement annuity on a rollover or transfer of proceeds from a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored retirement plan under which the decedent’s surviving spouse is the beneficiary. Allstate Life does not offer an individual retirement annuity that can accept a transfer of funds for any other, non-spousal, beneficiary of a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored qualified retirement plan. Note that in 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Inherited IRAs, other than IRAs inherited by the owner’s spouse, do not qualify as retirement assets for purposes of protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.
Please refer to your Endorsement for IRAs or 403(b) plans, if applicable, for additional information on your death settlement options. In the case of certain Qualified Plans, the terms of the Qualified Plan Endorsement and the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
Taxation of Withdrawals from an Individually Owned Tax Qualified Contract.    If you make a partial withdrawal under a Tax Qualified Contract other than a Roth IRA, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible IRA contributions) bears to the Contract Value, is excluded from your income. We do not keep track of nondeductible contributions, and generally all tax reporting of distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs will indicate that the distribution is fully taxable.
“Qualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are not included in gross income. “Qualified distributions” are any distributions made more than five taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution to any Roth IRA and which are:
made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,
made to a beneficiary after the Contract Owner’s death,
attributable to the Contract Owner being disabled, or

34


made for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000).
“Nonqualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are treated as made from contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that distributions exceed contributions.
Required Minimum Distributions.    Generally, Tax Qualified Contracts (excluding Roth IRAs) require minimum distributions upon reaching age 70 1/2. Failure to withdraw the required minimum distribution will result in a 50% tax penalty on the shortfall not withdrawn from the Contract. Effective December 31, 2005, the IRS requires annuity contracts to include the actuarial present value of other benefits for purposes of calculating the required minimum distribution amount. These other benefits may include accumulation, income, or death benefits. Not all income plans offered under the Contract satisfy the requirements for minimum distributions. Because these distributions are required under the Code and the method of calculation is complex, please see a tax advisor.
The Death Benefit and Tax Qualified Contracts. Pursuant to the Code and IRS regulations, an IRA (e.g., traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA) may not invest in life insurance contracts. However, an IRA may provide a death benefit that equals the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. The Contract offers a death benefit that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. We believe that the Death Benefits offered by your Contract do not constitute life insurance under these regulations.
It is also possible that certain death benefits that offer enhanced earnings could be characterized as an incidental death benefit. If the death benefit were so characterized, this could result in current taxable income to a Contract Owner. In addition, there are limitations on the amount of incidental death benefits that may be provided under Qualified Plans, such as in connection with a TSA or employer sponsored qualified retirement plan.
Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the Qualified Plans listed above.
Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts.    A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a Tax Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,
made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or total disability,
made in substantially equal periodic payments (as defined by the Code) over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,
made after separation from service after age 55 (does not apply to IRAs),
made pursuant to an IRS levy,
made for certain medical expenses,
made to pay for health insurance premiums while unemployed (applies only for IRAs),
made for qualified higher education expenses (applies only for IRAs)
made for a first time home purchase (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit and applies only for IRAs), and
from an IRA or attributable to elective deferrals under a 401(k) plan, 403(b) annuity, or certain similar arrangements made to individuals who (because of their being members of a reserve component) are ordered or called to active duty after Sept. 11, 2001, for a period of more than 179 days or for an indefinite period; and made during the period beginning on the date of the order or call to duty and ending at the close of the active duty period.
During the first 2 years of the individual’s participation in a SIMPLE IRA, distributions that are otherwise subject to the premature distribution penalty, will be subject to a 25% penalty tax.
You should consult a tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments on Tax Qualified Contracts.    With respect to Tax Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the taxpayer’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.
Income Tax Withholding on Tax Qualified Contracts.    Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions that are not considered “eligible rollover distributions.” The customer may elect out of

35


withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, or if no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold the required 10% from the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory. Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all “eligible rollover distributions” unless you elect to make a “direct rollover” of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover distributions generally include all distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts, including TSAs but excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
required minimum distributions, or,
a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at least 10 years, or,
a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary), or,
hardship distributions.
With respect to any Contract held under a Section 457 plan or by the trustee of a Section 401 Pension or Profit Sharing Plan, we will not issue payments directly to a plan participant or beneficiary. Consequently, the obligation to comply with the withholding requirements described above will be the responsibility of the plan.
For all annuitized distributions that are not subject to the 20% withholding requirement, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer requests payment be made to a U.S. address and provides a taxpayer identification number.
Generally, Code Section 1441 provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. We require an original IRS Form W-8 at issue to certify the owners’ foreign status. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a fully completed Form W-8(BEN,BEN-E,EXP,ECI,IMY) (Generally a Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form). A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.
Charitable IRA Distributions.     Certain qualified IRA distributions for charitable purposes are eligible for an exclusion from gross income, up to $100,000 for otherwise taxable IRA distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA. A qualified charitable distribution is a distribution that is made (1) directly by the IRA trustee to certain qualified charitable organizations and (2) on or after the date the IRA owner attains age 70 1/2. Distributions that are excluded from income under this provision are not taken into account in determining the individual’s deductions, if any, for charitable contributions.
The IRS has indicated that an IRA trustee is not responsible for determining whether a distribution to a charity is one that satisfies the requirements of the charitable giving incentive. Consistent with applicable IRS instructions, we report these distributions as normal IRA distributions on Form 1099-R. Individuals are responsible for reflecting the distributions as charitable IRA distributions on their personal tax returns.
Individual Retirement Annuities.    Code Section 408(b) permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA). Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence. Certain distributions from other types of qualified retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an Individual Retirement Annuity. For IRA rollovers, an individual can only make an IRA to IRA rollover if the individual has not made a rollover involving any IRAs owned by the individual in the prior 12 months. An IRA transfer is a tax-free trustee-to-trustee “transfer” from one IRA account to another. IRA transfers are not subject to this 12 month rule.
Roth Individual Retirement Annuities.    Code Section 408A permits eligible individuals to make nondeductible contributions to an individual retirement program known as a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence.
A traditional Individual Retirement Account or Annuity may be converted or “rolled over” to a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. The tax law allows distributions from qualified retirement plans including tax sheltered annuities and governmental Section 457 plans to be rolled over directly into a Roth IRA, subject to the usual rules that apply to conversions from a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. The income portion of a conversion or rollover distribution is taxable currently, but is exempted from the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions. Effective January 1, 2005, the IRS requires conversions of annuity contracts to include the actuarial present value of other benefits for purposes of valuing the taxable amount of the conversion.

36


Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, you may no longer recharacterize a conversion to a Roth IRA. It is still permissible to recharacterize a contribution made to a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution, or a contribution to a traditional IRA as a Roth IRA contribution. Such recharacterization must be completed by the applicable tax return due date (with extensions). 
Annuities Held By Individual Retirement Accounts (commonly known as Custodial IRAs).    Code Section 408 permits a custodian or trustee of an Individual Retirement Account to purchase an annuity as an investment of the Individual Retirement Account. If an annuity is purchased inside of an Individual Retirement Account, then the Annuitant must be the same person as the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account.
If you have a contract issued as an IRA under Code Section 408(b) and request to change the ownership to an IRA custodian permitted under Section 408, we will treat a request to change ownership from an individual to a custodian as an indirect rollover. We will send a Form 1099R to report the distribution and the custodian should issue a Form 5498 for the contract value contribution.
Generally, the death benefit of an annuity held in an Individual Retirement Account must be paid upon the death of the Annuitant. However, in most states, the Contract permits the custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account to continue the Contract in the accumulation phase, with the Annuitant’s surviving spouse as the new Annuitant, if the following conditions are met:
1)
The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account is the owner of the annuity and has the right to the death proceeds otherwise payable under the Contract;
2)
The deceased Annuitant was the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account;
3)
We receive a complete request for settlement for the death of the Annuitant; and
4)
The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account provides us with a signed certification of the following:
(a)
The Annuitant’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the Individual Retirement Account;
(b)
The Annuitant’s surviving spouse has elected to continue the Individual Retirement Account as his or her own Individual Retirement Account; and
(c)
The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account has continued the Individual Retirement Account pursuant to the surviving spouse’s election.
Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP IRA).    Code Section 408(k) allows eligible employers to establish simplified employee pension plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. These employers may, within specified limits, make deductible contributions on behalf of the employees to the individual retirement annuities. Employers intending to use the Contract in connection with such plans should seek tax advice.
Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA).    Code Section 408(p) allows eligible employers with 100 or fewer employees to establish SIMPLE retirement plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. In general, a SIMPLE IRA consists of a salary deferral program for eligible employees and matching or nonelective contributions made by employers. Employers intending to purchase the Contract as a SIMPLE IRA should seek tax and legal advice. SIMPLE IRA plans must include the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2007 (EGTRRA) to avoid adverse tax consequences. If your current SIMPLE IRA plan uses IRS Model Form 5304-SIMPLE with a revision date of March 2012 or later, then your plan is up to date. If your plan has a revision date prior to March 2012, please consult with your tax or legal advisor to determine the action you need to take in order to comply with this requirement.
To determine if you are eligible to contribute to any of the above listed IRAs (traditional, Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE), please refer to IRS Publication 590-A and your tax advisor.
Tax Sheltered Annuities.    Code Section 403(b) provides tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any contract used for a 403(b) plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction contributions made after 12/31/88, and all earnings on salary reduction contributions, may be made only on or after the date the employee:
attains age 59 1/2,
severs employment,
dies,
becomes disabled, or
incurs a hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be distributed on account of hardship).
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Allstate Life is directed to transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan. Generally, we do not accept funds in 403(b) contracts that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

37


Caution: Under IRS regulations we can accept contributions, transfers and rollovers only if we have entered into an information-sharing agreement, or its functional equivalent, with the applicable employer or its plan administrator. Unless your contract is grandfathered from certain provisions in these regulations, we will only process certain transactions (e.g, transfers, withdrawals, hardship distributions and, if applicable, loans) with employer approval. This means that if you request one of these transactions we will not consider your request to be in good order, and will not therefore process the transaction, until we receive the employer’s approval in written or electronic form.
Corporate and Self-Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans.    Section 401(a) of the Code permits corporate employers to establish various types of tax favored retirement plans for employees. Self-employed individuals may establish tax favored retirement plans for themselves and their employees (commonly referred to as “H.R.10” or “Keogh”). Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of annuity contracts. Allstate Life no longer issues annuity contracts to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
There are two owner types for contracts intended to qualify under Section 401(a): a qualified plan fiduciary or an annuitant owner.
A qualified plan fiduciary exists when a qualified plan trust that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code is the owner. The qualified plan trust must have its own tax identification number and a named trustee acting as a fiduciary on behalf of the plan. The annuitant should be the person for whose benefit the contract was purchased.
An annuitant owner exists when the tax identification number of the owner and annuitant are the same, or the annuity contract is not owned by a qualified plan trust. The annuitant should be the person for whose benefit the contract was purchased.
If a qualified plan fiduciary is the owner of the contract, the qualified plan must be the beneficiary so that death benefits from the annuity are distributed in accordance with the terms of the qualified plan. Annuitant owned contracts require that the beneficiary be the annuitant’s spouse (if applicable), which is consistent with the required IRS language for qualified plans under Section 401(a). A completed Annuitant Owned Qualified Plan Designation of Beneficiary form is required in order to change the beneficiary of an annuitant owned Qualified Plan contract.
State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation Plans.    Section 457 of the Code permits employees of state and local governments and tax-exempt organizations to defer a portion of their compensation without paying current taxes. The employees must be participants in an eligible deferred compensation plan. In eligible governmental plans, all assets and income must be held in a trust/custodial account/annuity contract for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. To the extent the Contracts are used in connection with a non-governmental eligible plan, employees are considered general creditors of the employer and the employer as owner of the Contract has the sole right to the proceeds of the Contract. Under eligible 457 plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be includible in the employees’ gross income until distributed from the plan. Allstate Life no longer issues annuity contracts to 457 plans.
Late Rollover Self-Certification. You may be able to apply a rollover contribution to your IRA or qualified retirement plan after the 60-day deadline through a self-certification procedure established by the IRS. Please consult your tax or legal adviser regarding your eligibility to use this self-certification procedure. As indicated in this IRS guidance, we, as a financial institution, are not required to accept your self-certification for waiver of the 60-day deadline.
ERISA Requirements
ERISA (the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974”) and the Code prevent a fiduciary and other “parties in interest” with respect to a plan (and, for these purposes, an IRA would also constitute a “plan”) from receiving any benefit from any party dealing with the plan, as a result of the sale of the Annuity. Administrative exemptions under ERISA generally permit the sale of insurance/annuity products to plans, provided that certain information is disclosed to the person purchasing the Annuity. This information has to do primarily with the fees, charges, discounts and other costs related to the Annuity, as well as any commissions paid to any agent selling the Annuity. Information about any applicable fees, charges, discounts, penalties or adjustments may be found in the applicable sections of this prospectus. Information about sales representatives and commissions may be found in the sections of this prospectus addressing distribution of the Annuities.
Other relevant information required by the exemptions is contained in the contract and accompanying documentation.
Please consult with your tax adviser if you have any questions about ERISA and these disclosure requirements.
Spousal Consent Rules for Retirement Plans - Qualified Annuities
If you are married at the time your payments commence, you may be required by federal law to choose an income option that provides survivor annuity income to your spouse, unless your spouse waives that right. Similarly, if you are married at the time of your death, federal law may require all or a portion of the Death Benefit to be paid to your spouse, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary. A brief explanation of the applicable rules follows. For more information, consult the terms of your retirement arrangement.
Defined Benefit Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans. If you are married at the time your payments commence, federal law requires that benefits be paid to you in the form of a “qualified joint and survivor annuity” (QJSA), unless you and your spouse waive that right, in writing. Generally, this means that you will receive a reduced payment during your life and, upon your death, your spouse will receive at least one-half of what you were receiving for life. You may elect to receive another income option if your spouse

consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QJSA. If your spouse consents to the alternative form of payment, your spouse may not receive any benefits from the plan upon your death. Federal law also requires that the plan pay a Death Benefit to your spouse if you are married and die before you begin receiving your benefit. This benefit must be available in the form of an Annuity for your spouse’s lifetime and is called a “qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity” (QPSA). If the plan pays Death Benefits to other Beneficiaries, you may elect to have a Beneficiary other than your spouse receive the Death Benefit, but only if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QPSA. If your spouse consents to the alternate Beneficiary, your spouse will receive no benefits from the plan upon your death. Any QPSA waiver prior to your attaining age 35 will become null and void on the first day of the calendar year in which you attain age 35, if still employed.
Defined Contribution Plans (including 401(k) Plans and ERISA 403(b) Annuities). Spousal consent to a distribution is generally not required. Upon your death, your spouse will receive the entire Death Benefit, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary, unless your spouse consents in writing to waive this right. Also, if you are married and elect an Annuity as a periodic income option, federal law requires that you receive a QJSA (as described above), unless you and your spouse consent to waive this right.
IRAs, non-ERISA 403(b) Annuities, and 457 Plans. Spousal consent to a distribution usually is not required. Upon your death, any Death Benefit will be paid to your designated Beneficiary.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Reporting and Withholding for Escheated Amounts
In 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Revenue Ruling 2018-17, which provides that an amount transferred from an IRA to a state’s unclaimed property fund is subject to federal withholding at the time of transfer. The amount transferred is also subject to federal reporting. Consistent with this Ruling, beginning in 2019, we will withhold federal and state income taxes and report to the applicable Owner or Beneficiary as required by law when amounts are transferred to a state’s unclaimed property fund.
Gifts and Generation-skipping Transfers     
If you transfer your Annuity to another person for less than adequate consideration, there may be gift tax consequences in addition to income tax consequences. Also, if you transfer your Annuity to a person two or more generations younger than you (such as a grandchild or grandniece) or to a person that is more than 37½ years younger than you, there may be generation-skipping transfer tax consequences.
Same Sex Marriages, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships
Prior to a 2013 Supreme Court decision, and consistent with Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same sex marriages under state law were not recognized as same sex marriages for purposes of federal law. However, in United States v. Windsor, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of DOMA as unconstitutional, thereby recognizing a valid same sex marriage for federal law purposes. On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry, thus requiring all states to allow same-sex marriage. The Windsor and Obergefell decisions mean that the federal and state tax law provisions applicable to an opposite sex spouse will also apply to a same sex spouse. Please note that a civil union or registered domestic partnership is generally not recognized as a marriage.
Please consult with your tax or legal adviser for additional information.

Appendix B Market Value Adjustment

The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
I
=
the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the applicable Guarantee Period for the week preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.
 
 
 
N
=
the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date, to the end of the Guarantee Period.
 
 
 
J
=
the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income payment request. “Treasury Rate” means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 × (I - J) × N
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn (in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount), paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan, from a Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires.
 

B-1


Examples of Market Value Adjustment

Purchase Payment:
$10,000 allocated to a Guarantee Period
Guarantee Period:
5 years
Guaranteed Interest Rate:
4.50%
5 Year Treasury Rate (at the time the Guarantee Period
was established):
4.50%
Full Surrender:
End of Contract Year 3
NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.
Example 1 (Assume Declining Interest Rates)
Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
$10,000.00 × (1.045)3 = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
.15% × $10,000.00 × (1.045)2 = $1,638.04
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
.06 × ($10,000.00 – $1,638.04) = $501.72
Step 4. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I
=
4.50%
 
J
=
4.20%
 
N
=
730 DAYS
= 2
 
365
 
Market Value Adjustment Factor: .9 × (I – J) × N
 
=
.9 × (.045 - .042) × (2) = .0054
 
Market Value Adjustment = Market Value Adjustment Factor × Amount Subject to Market Value Adjustment:
 
=
.0054 × ($11,411.66 - $1,638.04) = $52.78
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract Owner as a result  of full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
 
$11,411.66 - $501.72 + $52.78 = $10,962.72
Example 2: (Assumes Rising Interest Rates)
Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
$10,000.00 × (1.045)3 = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
15% × $10,000.00 × (1.045)2 = $1,638.04
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
.06 × ($10,000.00 – $1,638.04) = $501.72
Step 4. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I
=
4.50%
 
J
=
4.80%
 
N
=
730 DAYS
= 2
 
365
 
Market Value Adjustment Factor: .9 × (I – J) × N
 
=
.9 × (.045 - .048) × (2) = –.0054
 
Market Value Adjustment = Market Value Adjustment Factor × Amount Subject to Market Value Adjustment:
 
=
–.0054 × ($11,411.66 - $1,638.04) = –$52.78
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract Owner as a result  of full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
 
$11,411.66 - $501.72 - $52.78 = $10,857.16

ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS OF INVESTMENTS
We may add, delete, or substitute the Fund shares held by any Variable Sub-Account to the extent the law permits. We may substitute shares of any Fund with those of another Fund of the same or different mutual fund if the shares of the Fund are no longer available for investment, or if we believe investment in any Fund would become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Variable Account.
We will not substitute shares attributable to a Contract Owner's interest in a Variable Sub-Account until we have notified the Contract Owner of the change, and until the Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the change, to the extent such notification and approval are required by law. Nothing contained in this Statement of Additional Information shall prevent the Variable Account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of contracts, or from effecting a conversion between series or classes of contracts on the basis of requests made by Contract Owners.
We also may establish additional Variable Sub-Accounts or series of Variable Sub-Accounts. Each additional Variable Sub-Account would purchase shares of a new Fund of the same or different mutual fund. We may establish new Variable Sub-Accounts when we believe marketing needs or investment conditions warrant. We determine the basis on which we will offer any new Variable Sub-Accounts in conjunction with the Contract to existing Contract Owners. We may eliminate one or more Variable Sub-Accounts if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax or investment conditions so warrant.
We may, by appropriate endorsement, amend the Contract as we believe necessary or appropriate to reflect any substitution or change in the Funds. If we believe the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Contracts would be served, we may operate the Variable Account as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or we may withdraw its registration under such Act if such registration is no longer required.
THE CONTRACT
The Contract is primarily designed to aid individuals in long-term financial planning. You can use it for retirement planning regardless of whether the retirement plan qualifies for special federal income tax treatment.
PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
We are no longer offering new Contracts for sale. Previously, we offered the Contracts to the public through banks as well as brokers licensed under the federal securities laws and state insurance laws. The principal underwriter for the Variable Account, Allstate Distributors, LLC ("ADLLC"), distributes the Contracts. ADLLC is an affiliate of Allstate Life.
TAX-FREE EXCHANGES (1035 EXCHANGES, ROLLOVERS AND TRANSFERS)
We accept purchase payments that are the proceeds of a Contract in a transaction qualifying for a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). Except as required by federal law in calculating the basis of the Contract, we do not differentiate between Section 1035 purchase payments and non-Section 1035 purchase payments.
We also accept "rollovers" and transfers from Contracts qualifying as tax-sheltered annuities ("TSAs"), individual retirement annuities or accounts ("IRAs"), or any other Qualified Contract that is eligible to "rollover" into an IRA. We differentiate among non-Qualified Contracts, TSAs, IRAs and other Qualified Contracts to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws. For example, we restrict the assignment, transfer, or pledge of TSAs and IRAs so the Contracts will continue to qualify for special tax treatment. A Contract Owner contemplating any such exchange, rollover or transfer of a Contract should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential effects of such a transaction.
CALCULATION OF ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
The value of Accumulation Units will change each Valuation Period according to the investment performance of the Fund shares purchased by each Variable Sub-Account and the deduction of certain expenses and charges. A "Valuation Period" is the period from the end of one Valuation Date and continues to the end of the next Valuation Date. A Valuation Date ends at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 3:00 p.m. Central Time).
The Accumulation Unit Value of a Variable Sub-Account for any Valuation Period equals the Accumulation Unit Value as of the immediately preceding Valuation Period, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor (described below) for that Sub-Account for the current Valuation Period.

2


NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for a Valuation Period is a number representing the change, since the last Valuation Period, in the value of Variable Sub-Account assets per Accumulation Unit due to investment income, realized or unrealized capital gain or loss, deductions for taxes, if any, and deductions for the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge. We determine the Net Investment Factor for each Variable Sub-Account for any Valuation Period by dividing (A) by (B) and subtracting (C) from the result, where:
(A)
is the sum of:
(1)
the net asset value per share of the Fund underlying the Variable Sub-Account determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus,
(2)
the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the Fund underlying the Variable Sub-Account during the current Valuation Period;
(B)
is the net asset value per share of the Fund underlying the Variable Sub-Account determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period; and
(C)
is the annualized mortality and expense risk and administrative expense charges divided by 365 and then multiplied by the number of calendar days in the current Valuation Period.
CALCULATION OF VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
We calculate the amount of the first variable income payment under an Income Plan by applying the Contract Value allocated to each Variable Sub-Account minus any applicable premium tax charge deducted at the time, to the income payment tables in the Contract. We divide the amount of the first variable annuity income payment by the Variable Sub-Account's then current annuity unit value to determine the number of annuity units ("Annuity Units") upon which later income payments will be based. To determine income payments after the first, we simply multiply the number of Annuity Units determined in this manner for each Variable Sub-Account by the then current Annuity Unit value ("Annuity Unit Value") for that Variable Sub-Account.
CALCULATION OF ANNUITY UNIT VALUES
Annuity Units in each Variable Sub-Account are valued separately and Annuity Unit Values will depend upon the investment experience of the particular Fund in which the Variable Sub-Account invests. We calculate the Annuity Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account at the end of any Valuation Period by:
multiplying the Annuity Unit Value at the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Variable Sub-Account's Net Investment Factor described in the preceding section) for the Period; and then
dividing the product by the sum of 1.0 plus the assumed investment rate for the Valuation Period.
The assumed investment rate adjusts for the interest rate assumed in the income payment tables used to determine the dollar amount of the first variable income payment, and is at an effective annual rate which is specified in the Contract.
We determine the amount of the first variable income payment paid under an Income Plan using the income payment tables set out in the Contract. The Contract includes tables that differentiate on the basis of sex, except in states that require the use of unisex tables.

GENERAL MATTERS
INCONTESTABILITY
We will not contest the Contract after we issue it.
SETTLEMENTS
We may require that your Contract be returned to us prior to any settlement. We must receive due proof of the Contract Owner(s) death (or Annuitant's death if there is a non-natural Contract Owner) before we will settle a death claim.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
We hold title to the assets of the Variable Account. We keep the assets physically segregated and separate and apart from our general corporate assets. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of Fund shares held by each of the Variable Sub-Accounts.
The Funds do not issue stock certificates. Therefore, we hold the Variable Account's assets in open account in lieu of stock certificates. See the Funds prospectuses for a more complete description of the custodian of the Funds.
PREMIUM TAXES
Applicable premium tax rates depend on the Contract Owner's state of residency and the insurance laws and our status in those states where premium taxes are incurred. Premium tax rates may be changed by legislation, administrative interpretations, or judicial acts.
TAX RESERVES
We do not establish capital gains tax reserves for any Variable Sub-Account nor do we deduct charges for tax reserves because we believe that capital gains attributable to the Variable Account will not be taxable. However, we reserve the right to deduct charges to establish tax reserves for potential taxes on realized or unrealized capital gains.
CYBER SECURITY RISK
With the increasing use of technology and computer systems in general and, in particular, the Internet to conduct necessary business functions, Allstate Life is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. These risks, which are often collectively referred to as “cyber security” risks, may include deliberate or malicious attacks, as well as unintentional events and occurrences. These risks are heightened by our offering of products with certain features, including those with automatic asset transfer or re-allocation strategies, and by our employment of complex investment, trading and hedging programs. Cyber security is generally defined as the technology, operations and related protocol surrounding and protecting a user’s computer hardware, network, systems and applications and the data transmitted and stored therewith. These measures ensure the reliability of a user’s systems, as well as the security, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data assets.
Deliberate cyber attacks can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access (including physical break-ins and attempts to fraudulently induce employees, customers or other users of these systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access) to computer systems in order to misappropriate and/or disclose sensitive or confidential information; deleting, corrupting or modifying data; and causing operational disruptions. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (in order to prevent access to computer networks). In addition to deliberate breaches engineered by external actors, cyber security risks can also result from the conduct of malicious, exploited or careless insiders, whose actions may result in the destruction, release or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information stored on an organization’s systems.
Cyber security failures or breaches that could impact Allstate Life and Owners, whether deliberate or unintentional, could arise not only in connection with our own administration of the Contract, but also with entities operating the Contract’s underlying funds and with third-party service providers to Allstate Life. Cyber security failures originating with any of the entities involved with the offering and administration of the Contract may cause significant disruptions in the business operations related to the Contract. Potential impacts may include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses under the Contract, your inability to conduct transactions under the Contract and/or with respect to an underlying fund, an inability to calculate the accumulation unit value (AUV) with respect to the Contract and/or the net asset value (NAV) with respect to an underlying fund, and disclosures of your personal or confidential account information.
In addition to direct impacts to you, cyber security failures of the type described above may result in adverse impacts to Allstate Life, including regulatory inquiries, regulatory proceedings, regulatory and/or legal and litigation costs, and reputational damage. Costs incurred by Allstate Life may include reimbursement and other expenses, including the costs of litigation and litigation settlements and additional compliance costs. Considerable expenses also may be incurred by Allstate Life in enhancing and upgrading computer systems and systems security following a cyber security failure.

4


The rapid proliferation of technologies, as well as the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, hostile foreign governments, and others continue to pose new and significant cyber security threats. Although Allstate Life, our service providers, and the underlying funds offered under the Contract may have established business continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate cyber security risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that such plans or systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated and identified or can be protected against. Furthermore, Allstate Life cannot control or assure the efficacy of the cyber security plans and systems implemented by third-party service providers, the underlying funds, and the issuers in which the underlying funds invest.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of
Allstate Life Insurance Company and Contractholders of Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets for each of the sub-accounts of Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I (the “Account”) listed in Appendix A, as of December 31, 2018; the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in Appendix A and the related notes. In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the sub-accounts comprising the Account as of December 31, 2018, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in Appendix A, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Account’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the Account’s fund managers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ALLSTATE FINANCIAL ADVISORS SEPARATE ACCOUNT I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 


1. Organization
Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I (the “Account”), a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is a Separate Account of Allstate Life Insurance Company (“Allstate”). The assets of the Account are legally segregated from those of Allstate. Allstate is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Company, which is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The assets within the Account are legally segregated from each other into sub-accounts (the “sub-accounts”). On June 1, 2006, Allstate completed the disposal of substantially all of its variable annuity business through a combination of coinsurance and modified coinsurance reinsurance, and administrative services agreements with subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”). Prudential is responsible for servicing the individual annuity contracts, including those of the Account. The reinsurance agreements do not extinguish Allstate’s contractual obligations to the contractholders. Allstate continues to be responsible for all contract terms and conditions. The obligations of Prudential under the reinsurance and administrative agreements are to Allstate.
Allstate issued the following variable annuity contracts through the Account (collectively the “Contracts”). The Account accepts additional deposits from existing contractholders, but is closed to new contractholders.
AIM Lifetime America Variable Annuity Series (Classic, Freedom, and Regal)
AIM Lifetime Enhanced ChoiceSM Variable Annuity
AIM Lifetime PlusSM Variable Annuity
AIM Lifetime PlusSM II Variable Annuity

Absent any Contract provisions wherein Allstate contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value upon death or annuitization, variable annuity contractholders bear the investment risk that the sub-accounts may not meet their stated investment objectives. The sub-account names listed below correspond to the mutual fund portfolios ("Fund" or "Funds") in which they invest:

(*) See Note 2 for disclosure of changes in sub-accounts and to the names of Funds during 2018.
(**) Sub-account was available, but had no net assets as of December 31, 2018.
The net assets are affected by the investment results of each Fund, transactions by contractholders and certain contract expenses (see Note 5). Contractholders’ interests consist of units of the sub-account. The accompanying financial statements include only contractholders’ purchase payments applicable to the variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments directed by the contractholder to the Fixed Account in which the contractholders’ deposits are included in the Allstate general account assets and earn a fixed rate of return.
A contractholder may choose from among a number of different underlying Fund options. The underlying Funds are not available to the general public directly. These Funds are available as investment options in variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by life insurance companies, or in certain cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.
Some of these underlying Funds have been established by investment advisers that manage publicly traded mutual funds that have similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying Funds may be similar to and may in fact be modeled after publicly traded mutual funds, the underlying Funds are not otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any corresponding underlying Funds may differ substantially.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Account is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of GAAP.
Investments - Investments consist of shares of the Funds and are stated at fair value based on the reported net asset value of each corresponding Fund, which in turn values their investment securities at fair value. The difference between cost and fair value of shares owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Dividends - Dividends declared by the Funds are recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Net Realized Gains and Losses - Net realized gains and losses on Fund shares represent the difference between the proceeds from sales of shares of the Funds by the sub-accounts and the cost of such shares, which is determined on a weighted average basis, and realized gain distributions received from the underlying Funds. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Distributions of net realized gains are recorded on the Funds’ ex-distribution date.
Federal Income Taxes - The Account intends to qualify as a segregated asset account as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”). In order to qualify as a segregated asset account, each sub-account is required to satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code. The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the
underlying investments satisfy either the statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. The operations of the Account are included in the tax return of Allstate. Allstate is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code and joins with The Allstate Corporation and its eligible domestic subsidiaries in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return. No income taxes are allocable to the Account. The Account had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018. The Account believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability balance will not significantly increase within the next twelve months. No amounts have been accrued for interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets resulting from operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Contracts in payout (annuitization) period - Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are computed according to the to the industry standard mortality tables. The assumed investment return varies by contract but falls within a minimum of 3.00% and a 6.00% maximum.The mortality risk is fully borne by Allstate and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by Allstate to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. A receivable is established for amounts due to the sub-accounts from Allstate but not yet received. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to Allstate. A payable is established for amounts payable to Allstate from the sub-accounts but not yet paid. The amounts are included in “Transfers among the sub-accounts and with the Fixed Account - net” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and in "Contracts in payout (annuitization) period" in the Statement of Net Assets.
4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets recorded on the Statement of Net Assets at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Assets whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Account can access.
Level 2: Assets whose values are based on the following:
(a) Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets;
(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; or
(c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the
asset.
Level 3:    Assets whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Account’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets.
In determining fair value, the Account uses the market approach which generally utilizes market transaction data for the same or similar instruments. All investments during the reporting period consist of shares of the Funds that have daily quoted net asset values for identical assets that the sub-account can access and are categorized as Level 1. Net asset values for these actively traded Funds are obtained daily from the Fund’s managers. The Account’s policy is to recognize transfers of securities among the levels at the beginning of the reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no transfers between fair value levels.
5. Expenses
Withdrawal Charge - In the event of withdrawal of the account value during a specified period, a withdrawal charge may be imposed. The withdrawal charge varies by contract and ranges from 0.50% to 9.00% in the first year of the contract and declines to 0% in various years as defined in the contract. The Preferred Client Variable Annuity does not charge a withdrawal charge. These amounts are included in "Payments on termination" in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, but are remitted to Allstate.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge - Allstate assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and deducts charges daily at a rate ranging from 0.40% to 2.50% per annum of the daily net assets of the Account, based on the contract and rider options selected. The mortality and expense risk charge is recognized as a reduction in unit values and reported on the Statement of Operations. The mortality and expense risk charge covers insurance benefits available with the Contracts and certain expenses of the Contracts. It also covers the risk that the current charges will not be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contracts. Allstate guarantees that the amount of this charge will not increase over the lives of the Contracts. At the contractholder’s discretion, additional options may be purchased for an additional charge. For certain living benefits, that charge is based on a protected withdrawal value and is deducted as units.
Administrative Expense Charge - Allstate deducts administrative expense charges daily at a rate ranging from 0% to 0.30% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Account. The contract will specify which rate applies. The administrative expense charge is recognized as a reduction in unit values and reported on the Statement of Operations.

5. Expenses (continued)
Contract Maintenance Charge - Allstate deducts an annual maintenance charge up to $35, depending upon the contract, on each contract anniversary and guarantees that this charge will not increase over the lives of the Contracts. This charge will be waived if certain conditions are met. Allstate deducts a monthly fee for contracts with Retirement Income Guarantee Riders at rates ranging from 0.05% to 0.30% per annum of the income base. The income base is comprised of either the contract value on the date the rider option is purchased and is adjusted for subsequent purchases or withdrawals or the highest contract value on any anniversary date adjusted for subsequent purchases or withdrawals, depending on the rider option selected. The contract maintenance charge is recognized as a redemption of units and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

7. Financial Highlights
Allstate offers multiple variable annuity contracts through this Account that have unique combinations of features and fees that are assessed to the contractholders. Differences in these fee structures result in various contract expense rates and unit values which in turn result in various expense and total return ratios.
In the table below, the units, the range of lowest to highest unit values, the net assets, the investment income ratio, the range of lowest to highest expense ratios, and the ranges of total returns are presented for each of the sub-accounts. Only rider options within each sub-account that had units outstanding during the respective periods were considered when determining the lowest and highest expense ratio. These ranges of lowest to highest unit values and total return are based on the product groupings that represent lowest and highest expense ratio amounts. Therefore, some individual contract ratios are not within the ranges presented. The range of the lowest and highest unit fair values disclosed in the Statement of Net Assets may differ from the values disclosed herein because the values in the Statement of Net Assets represent the absolute lowest and highest values without consideration of the corresponding expense ratios.
Items in the following table are notated as follows:
*
Investment Income Ratio - These amounts represent dividends, excluding realized gain distributions, received by the sub-account from the underlying Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses that result in a reduction in the unit values or redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Fund in which the sub-account invests. The investment income ratio for each product may differ due to the timing of contract transactions.
Sub-accounts with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Account. Consistent with the total return, the investment income ratio is calculated for the period, or from the effective date, through the end of the reporting period. The investment income ratio for closed sub-accounts is calculated from the beginning of period, or from the effective date, through the last day the sub-account was open. The investment income ratio is reported at zero when no dividend is received in the sub-account during the period or the net asset value at the beginning and end of the period is zero.
**
Expense Ratio - These amounts represent the range of annualized contract expenses of the sub-account, consisting of mortality and expense risk charges, and contract administrative expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that are charged that result in a reduction in the unit values. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Fund have been excluded.
***
Total Return - These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. The ratio does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated as the change in the unit value during the reporting period, or the effective period if less than the reporting period, divided by the beginning of period unit value or the unit value on the effective date.
Since the total return for periods less than one year has not been annualized, the difference between the lowest and the highest total return in the range may be broader if one or both of the total returns relate to a product which was introduced during the reporting year.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Allstate Life Insurance Company
Northbrook, Illinois 60062
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position of Allstate Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”), an affiliate of The Allstate Corporation, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Shareholder’s Equity, and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Adopted Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company changed its presentation and method of accounting for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities on January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10).
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP
Chicago, Illinois
February 22, 2019

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”). ALIC is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”), which is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the “Corporation”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Legislation”) became effective, permanently reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018. As a result, the corporate tax rate is not comparable between periods.
Nature of operations
The Company offers traditional and interest-sensitive life insurance products. The Company also offers variable life insurance in New York, while previously selling variable life insurance nationwide through September 2017. The Company distributes its products through Allstate exclusive agencies and exclusive financial specialists. The Company also offers voluntary accident and health insurance through workplace enrolling independent agents in New York. The Company previously offered and continues to have in force fixed annuities such as deferred and immediate annuities. The Company also previously offered variable annuities and substantially all of this business is reinsured.
The following table summarizes premiums and contract charges by product.

The Company, through several subsidiaries, is authorized to sell life insurance and retirement products in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. For 2018, the top geographic locations for direct statutory premiums and annuity considerations were New York, California, Texas, Florida and Illinois. No other jurisdiction accounted for more than 5% of direct statutory premiums and annuity considerations.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investments
Fixed income securities include bonds, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and redeemable preferred stocks. Fixed income securities, which may be sold prior to their contractual maturity, are designated as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. The difference between amortized cost and fair value, net of deferred income taxes and related deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), deferred sales inducement costs (“DSI”) and reserves for life-contingent contract benefits, is reflected as a component of AOCI. Cash received from calls and make-whole payments is reflected as a component of proceeds from sales and cash received from maturities and pay-downs is reflected as a component of investment collections within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Mortgage loans are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized premium or discount and valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are established for impaired loans when it is probable that contractual principal and interest will not be collected.

6



Equity securities primarily include common stocks, exchange traded and mutual funds, non-redeemable preferred stocks and real estate investment trust equity investments. Certain exchange traded and mutual funds have fixed income securities as their underlying investments. Equity securities are carried at fair value. Equity securities without readily determinable or estimable fair values are measured using the measurement alternative, which is cost less impairment, if any, and adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The periodic change in fair value of equity securities is recognized within realized capital gains and losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income effective January 1, 2018.
Investments in limited partnership interests are primarily accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting (“EMA”) and include interests in private equity funds, real estate funds and other funds. Investments in limited partnership interests purchased prior to January 1, 2018 where the Company’s interest is so minor that it exercises virtually no influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for at fair value primarily utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient to determine fair value.
Short-term investments, including money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury bills and other short-term investments, are carried at fair value. Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Other investments primarily consist of bank loans, agent loans, real estate and derivatives. Bank loans are primarily senior secured corporate loans and are carried at amortized cost. Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Agent loans are loans issued to exclusive Allstate agents and are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of valuation allowances and unamortized deferred fees or costs. Derivatives are carried at fair value.
Investment income primarily consists of interest, dividends, income from limited partnership interests, rental income from real estate, and income from certain derivative transactions. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method and dividends are recorded at the ex-dividend date. Interest income for ABS, RMBS and CMBS is determined considering estimated pay-downs, including prepayments, obtained from third party data sources and internal estimates. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the prepayments originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. For ABS, RMBS and CMBS of high credit quality with fixed interest rates, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis. For all others, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. Accrual of income is suspended for other-than-temporarily impaired fixed income securities when the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be received is not reasonably estimable. Accrual of income is suspended for mortgage loans, bank loans and agent loans that are in default or when full and timely collection of principal and interest payments is not probable. Cash receipts on investments on nonaccrual status are generally recorded as a reduction of carrying value. Income from limited partnership interests carried at fair value is recognized based upon the changes in fair value of the investee’s equity primarily determined using NAV. Income from EMA limited partnership interests is recognized based on the Company’s share of the partnerships’ earnings. Income from EMA limited partnership interests is generally recognized on a three month delay due to the availability of the related financial statements from investees.
Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investment sales, write-downs in value due to other-than-temporary declines in fair value, adjustments to valuation allowances on mortgage loans and agent loans, valuation changes of equity investments, including equity securities and certain limited partnerships where the underlying assets are predominately public equity securities, and periodic changes in fair value and settlements of certain derivatives including hedge ineffectiveness. Realized capital gains and losses on investment sales are determined on a specific identification basis.
Derivative and embedded derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments include interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, futures (interest rate and equity), options (including swaptions), interest rate caps, warrants, foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, total return swaps and certain investment risk transfer reinsurance agreements. Derivatives required to be separated from the host instrument and accounted for as derivative financial instruments (“subject to bifurcation”) are embedded in equity-indexed life and annuity contracts and reinsured variable annuity contracts.
All derivatives are accounted for on a fair value basis and reported as other investments, other assets, other liabilities and accrued expenses or contractholder funds. Embedded derivative instruments subject to bifurcation are also accounted for on a fair value basis and are reported together with the host contract. The change in fair value of derivatives embedded in life and annuity product contracts and subject to bifurcation is reported in contract benefits or interest credited to contractholder funds. Cash flows from embedded derivatives subject to bifurcation and derivatives receiving hedge accounting are reported consistently with the host contracts and hedged risks, respectively, within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from other derivatives are reported in cash flows from investing activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
When derivatives meet specific criteria, they may be designated as accounting hedges and accounted for as fair value, cash flow, foreign currency fair value or foreign currency cash flow hedges. The hedged item may be either all or a specific portion of a recognized asset, liability or an unrecognized firm commitment attributable to a particular risk for fair value hedges. At the inception of the hedge, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and risk management objective and strategy.

7



The documentation identifies the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and the methodology used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging instrument in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, this documentation includes the exposure to changes in the variability in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The Company does not exclude any component of the change in fair value of the hedging instrument from the effectiveness assessment. At each reporting date, the Company confirms that the hedging instrument continues to be highly effective in offsetting the hedged risk. Ineffectiveness in fair value hedges and cash flow hedges, if any, is reported in realized capital gains and losses.
Fair value hedges The change in fair value of hedging instruments used in fair value hedges of investment assets or a portion thereof is reported in net investment income, together with the change in fair value of the hedged items. The change in fair value of hedging instruments used in fair value hedges of contractholder funds liabilities or a portion thereof is reported in interest credited to contractholder funds, together with the change in fair value of the hedged items. Accrued periodic settlements on swaps are reported together with the changes in fair value of the related swaps in net investment income or interest credited to contractholder funds. The amortized cost for fixed income securities, the carrying value for mortgage loans or the carrying value of a designated hedged liability is adjusted for the change in fair value of the hedged risk.
Cash flow hedges For hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivatives representing the effective portion of the hedge are reported in AOCI. Amounts are reclassified to net investment income or realized capital gains and losses as the hedged or forecasted transaction affects income. Accrued periodic settlements on derivatives used in cash flow hedges are reported in net investment income. The amount reported in AOCI for a hedged transaction is limited to the lesser of the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative less the amount reclassified to income, or the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative needed to offset the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the hedged transaction from inception of the hedge less the derivative gain or loss previously reclassified from AOCI to income. If the Company expects at any time that the loss reported in AOCI would lead to a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction which may not be recoverable, a loss is recognized immediately in realized capital gains and losses. If an impairment loss is recognized on an asset or an additional obligation is incurred on a liability involved in a hedge transaction, any offsetting gain in AOCI is reclassified and reported together with the impairment loss or recognition of the obligation.
Termination of hedge accounting If, subsequent to entering into a hedge transaction, the derivative becomes ineffective (including if the hedged item is sold or otherwise extinguished, the occurrence of a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable or the hedged asset becomes other-than-temporarily impaired), the Company may terminate the derivative position. The Company may also terminate derivative instruments or redesignate them as non-hedge as a result of other events or circumstances. If the derivative instrument is not terminated when a fair value hedge is no longer effective, the future gains and losses recognized on the derivative are reported in realized capital gains and losses. When a fair value hedge is no longer effective, is redesignated as non-hedge or when the derivative has been terminated, the fair value gain or loss on the hedged asset, liability or portion thereof previously recognized in income while the hedge was in place and used to adjust the amortized cost of hedged fixed income securities, carrying value of hedged mortgage loans or carrying value of a hedged liability, is amortized over the remaining life of the hedged asset, liability or portion thereof, and reflected in net investment income or interest credited to contractholder funds beginning in the period that hedge accounting is no longer applied. If the hedged item in a fair value hedge is an asset that has become other-than-temporarily impaired, the adjustment made to the amortized cost for fixed income securities or the carrying value for mortgage loans is subject to the accounting policies applied to other-than-temporarily impaired assets.
When a derivative instrument used in a cash flow hedge of an existing asset or liability is no longer effective or is terminated, the gain or loss recognized on the derivative is reclassified from AOCI to income as the hedged risk impacts income. If the derivative instrument is not terminated when a cash flow hedge is no longer effective, future gains and losses recognized on the derivative are reported in realized capital gains and losses. When a derivative instrument used in a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction is terminated because it is probable the forecasted transaction will not occur, the gain or loss recognized on the derivative is immediately reclassified from AOCI to realized capital gains and losses in the period that hedge accounting is no longer applied.
Non-hedge derivative financial instruments For derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied, the income statement effects, including fair value gains and losses and accrued periodic settlements, are reported either in realized capital gains and losses or in a single line item together with the results of the associated asset or liability for which risks are being managed.
Securities loaned
The Company’s business activities include securities lending transactions, which are used primarily to generate net investment income. The proceeds received in conjunction with securities lending transactions are reinvested in short-term investments or fixed income securities. These transactions are short-term in nature, usually 30 days or less.
The Company receives cash collateral for securities loaned in an amount generally equal to 102% and 105% of the fair value of domestic and foreign securities, respectively, and records the related obligations to return the collateral in other liabilities and accrued expenses. The carrying value of these obligations approximates fair value because of their relatively short-term nature. The Company monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and obtains additional collateral as necessary under

8



the terms of the agreements to mitigate counterparty credit risk. The Company maintains the right and ability to repossess the securities loaned on short notice.
Recognition of premium revenues and contract charges, and related benefits and interest credited
Traditional life insurance products consist principally of products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits, primarily term and whole life insurance products. Voluntary accident and health insurance products are expected to remain in force for an extended period and therefore are primarily classified as long-duration contracts. Premiums from these products are recognized as revenue when due from policyholders. Benefits are reflected in contract benefits and recognized over the life of the policy in relation to premiums.
Immediate annuities with life contingencies, including certain structured settlement annuities, provide benefits over a period that extends beyond the period during which premiums are collected. Premiums from these products are recognized as revenue when received at the inception of the contract. Benefits and expenses are recognized in relation to premiums. Profits from these policies come primarily from investment income, which is recognized over the life of the contract.
Interest-sensitive life contracts, such as universal life and single premium life, are insurance contracts whose terms are not fixed and guaranteed. The terms that may be changed include premiums paid by the contractholder, interest credited to the contractholder account balance and contract charges assessed against the contractholder account balance. Premiums from these contracts are reported as contractholder fund deposits. Contract charges consist of fees assessed against the contractholder account balance for the cost of insurance (mortality risk), contract administration and surrender of the contract prior to contractually specified dates. These contract charges are recognized as revenue when assessed against the contractholder account balance. Contract benefits include life-contingent benefit payments in excess of the contractholder account balance.
Contracts that do not subject the Company to significant risk arising from mortality or morbidity are referred to as investment contracts. Fixed annuities, including market value adjusted annuities, equity-indexed annuities and immediate annuities without life contingencies, are considered investment contracts. Consideration received for such contracts is reported as contractholder fund deposits. Contract charges for investment contracts consist of fees assessed against the contractholder account balance for maintenance, administration and surrender of the contract prior to contractually specified dates, and are recognized when assessed against the contractholder account balance.
Interest credited to contractholder funds represents interest accrued or paid on interest-sensitive life and investment contracts. Crediting rates for certain fixed annuities and interest-sensitive life contracts are adjusted periodically by the Company to reflect current market conditions subject to contractually guaranteed minimum rates. Crediting rates for indexed life and annuities and indexed funding agreements are generally based on a specified interest rate index or an equity index, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”). Interest credited also includes amortization of DSI expenses. DSI is amortized into interest credited using the same method used to amortize DAC.
Contract charges for variable life and variable annuity products consist of fees assessed against the contractholder account balances for contract maintenance, administration, mortality, expense and surrender of the contract prior to contractually specified dates. Contract benefits incurred for variable annuity products include guaranteed minimum death, income, withdrawal and accumulation benefits. Substantially all of the Company’s variable annuity business is ceded through reinsurance agreements and the contract charges and contract benefits related thereto are reported net of reinsurance ceded.
Other revenue presentation
The Company revised the presentation of total revenue to include other revenue. Previously, components of other revenue were presented within operating costs and expenses and primarily represent gross dealer concessions received in connection with Allstate exclusive agencies and exclusive financial specialists sales of non-proprietary products. Other revenue is recognized when performance obligations are fulfilled. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current separate presentation of other revenue.
Deferred policy acquisition and sales inducement costs
Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal life insurance policies and investment contracts are deferred and recorded as DAC. These costs are principally agency’s and brokers’ remuneration and certain underwriting expenses. DSI costs, which are deferred and recorded as other assets, relate to sales inducements offered on sales to new customers, principally on fixed annuity and interest-sensitive life contracts. These sales inducements are primarily in the form of additional credits to the customer’s account balance or enhancements to interest credited for a specified period which are in excess of the rates currently being credited to similar contracts without sales inducements. All other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and included in operating costs and expenses. Amortization of DAC is included in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and is described in more detail below. DSI is amortized into income using the same methodology and assumptions as DAC and is included in interest credited to contractholder funds.

9



For traditional life and voluntary accident and health insurance, DAC is amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies in proportion to the estimated revenues on such business. Assumptions used in the amortization of DAC and reserve calculations are established at the time the policy is issued and are generally not revised during the life of the policy. Any deviations from projected business in force resulting from actual policy terminations differing from expected levels and any estimated premium deficiencies may result in a change to the rate of amortization in the period such events occur. Generally, the amortization periods for these policies approximates the estimated lives of the policies. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of DAC for these policies using actual experience and current assumptions. Prior to fourth quarter 2017, the Company evaluated traditional life insurance products and immediate annuities with life contingencies on an aggregate basis. Beginning in fourth quarter 2017, traditional life insurance products, immediate annuities with life contingencies, and voluntary accident and health insurance products are reviewed individually, consistent with the review of these products performed by The Allstate Corporation. If actual experience and current assumptions are adverse compared to the original assumptions and a premium deficiency is determined to exist, any remaining unamortized DAC balance would be expensed to the extent not recoverable and the establishment of a premium deficiency reserve may be required.
For interest-sensitive life insurance and fixed annuities, DAC and DSI are amortized in proportion to the incidence of the total present value of gross profits, which includes both actual historical gross profits (“AGP”) and estimated future gross profits (“EGP”) expected to be earned over the estimated lives of the contracts. The amortization is net of interest on the prior period DAC balance using rates established at the inception of the contracts. Actual amortization periods generally range from 15-30 years; however, incorporating estimates of the rate of customer surrenders, partial withdrawals and deaths generally results in the majority of the DAC being amortized during the surrender charge period, which is typically 10-20 years for interest-sensitive life and 5-10 years for fixed annuities. The rate of DAC and DSI amortization is reestimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to income when there is a difference between the incidence of actual versus expected gross profits in a reporting period or when there is a change in total EGP. When DAC or DSI amortization or a component of gross profits for a quarterly period is potentially negative (which would result in an increase of the DAC or DSI balance) as a result of negative AGP, the specific facts and circumstances surrounding the potential negative amortization are considered to determine whether it is appropriate for recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Negative amortization is only recorded when the increased DAC or DSI balance is determined to be recoverable based on facts and circumstances. Recapitalization of DAC and DSI is limited to the originally deferred costs plus interest.
AGP and EGP primarily consist of the following components: contract charges for the cost of insurance less mortality costs and other benefits; investment income and realized capital gains and losses less interest credited; and surrender and other contract charges less maintenance expenses. The principal assumptions for determining the amount of EGP are mortality, persistency, expenses, investment returns, including capital gains and losses on assets supporting contract liabilities, interest crediting rates to contractholders, and the effects of any hedges. For products whose supporting investments are exposed to capital losses in excess of the Company’s expectations which may cause periodic AGP to become temporarily negative, EGP and AGP utilized in DAC and DSI amortization may be modified to exclude the excess capital losses.
The Company performs quarterly reviews of DAC and DSI recoverability for interest-sensitive life and fixed annuity contracts using current assumptions. If a change in the amount of EGP is significant, it could result in the unamortized DAC or DSI not being recoverable, resulting in a charge which is included as a component of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs or interest credited to contractholder funds, respectively.
The DAC and DSI balances presented include adjustments to reflect the amount by which the amortization of DAC and DSI would increase or decrease if the unrealized capital gains or losses in the respective product investment portfolios were actually realized. The adjustments are recorded net of tax in AOCI. DAC, DSI and deferred income taxes determined on unrealized capital gains and losses and reported in AOCI recognize the impact on shareholder’s equity consistently with the amounts that would be recognized in the income statement on realized capital gains and losses.
Customers of the Company may exchange one insurance policy or investment contract for another offered by the Company, or make modifications to an existing investment or life contract issued by the Company. These transactions are identified as internal replacements for accounting purposes. Internal replacement transactions determined to result in replacement contracts that are substantially unchanged from the replaced contracts are accounted for as continuations of the replaced contracts. Unamortized DAC and DSI related to the replaced contracts continue to be deferred and amortized in connection with the replacement contracts. For interest-sensitive life and investment contracts, the EGP of the replacement contracts are treated as a revision to the EGP of the replaced contracts in the determination of amortization of DAC and DSI. For traditional life insurance policies, any changes to unamortized DAC that result from replacement contracts are treated as prospective revisions. Any costs associated with the issuance of replacement contracts are characterized as maintenance costs and expensed as incurred. Internal replacement transactions determined to result in a substantial change to the replaced contracts are accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and DSI related to the replaced contracts are eliminated with a corresponding charge to amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs or interest credited to contractholder funds, respectively.

10



The costs assigned to the right to receive future cash flows from certain business purchased from other insurers are also classified as DAC in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The costs capitalized represent the present value of future profits expected to be earned over the lives of the contracts acquired. These costs are amortized as profits emerge over the lives of the acquired business and are periodically evaluated for recoverability. The present value of future profits was $3 million as of both December 31, 2018 and 2017. Amortization expense of the present value of future profits was $249 thousand, $232 thousand and $276 thousand in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Reinsurance
In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit aggregate and single exposure to losses on large risks by purchasing reinsurance. The Company has also used reinsurance to effect the disposition of certain blocks of business. The amounts reported as reinsurance recoverables include amounts billed to reinsurers on losses paid as well as estimates of amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers on insurance liabilities and contractholder funds that have not yet been paid. Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Insurance liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance recoverables. Reinsurance premiums are generally reflected in income in a manner consistent with the recognition of premiums on the reinsured contracts. Reinsurance does not extinguish the Company’s primary liability under the policies written. Therefore, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and establishes allowances for uncollectible reinsurance as appropriate.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The principal assets and liabilities giving rise to such differences are insurance reserves, investments (including unrealized capital gains and losses) and DAC. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes interest expense related to income tax matters in income tax expense and penalties in operating costs and expenses.
Reserve for life-contingent contract benefits
The reserve for life-contingent contract benefits payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance, life-contingent immediate annuities and voluntary accident and health insurance products, is computed on the basis of long-term actuarial assumptions of future investment yields, mortality, morbidity, policy terminations and expenses. These assumptions, which for traditional life insurance are applied using the net level premium method, include provisions for adverse deviation and generally vary by characteristics such as type of coverage, year of issue and policy duration. The assumptions are established at the time the policy is issued and are generally not changed during the life of the policy. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of reserves for these policies using actual experience and current assumptions. If actual experience and current assumptions are adverse compared to the original assumptions and a premium deficiency is determined to exist, any remaining unamortized DAC balance would be expensed to the extent not recoverable and the establishment of a premium deficiency reserve may be required. Prior to fourth quarter 2017, the Company evaluated traditional life insurance products and immediate annuities with life contingencies on an aggregate basis. Beginning in fourth quarter 2017, traditional life insurance products, immediate annuities with life contingencies, and voluntary accident and health insurance are reviewed individually, consistent with the review of these products performed by The Allstate Corporation. The Company also reviews these policies for circumstances where projected profits would be recognized in early years followed by projected losses in later years. If this circumstance exists, the Company will accrue a liability, during the period of profits, to offset the losses at such time as the future losses are expected to commence using a method updated prospectively over time. To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency if those gains were realized, the related increase in reserves for certain immediate annuities with life contingencies is recorded net of tax as a reduction of unrealized net capital gains included in AOCI.
Contractholder funds
Contractholder funds represent interest-bearing liabilities arising from the sale of products such as interest-sensitive life insurance, fixed annuities and funding agreements. Contractholder funds primarily comprise cumulative deposits received and interest credited to the contractholder less cumulative contract benefits, surrenders, withdrawals, maturities and contract charges for mortality or administrative expenses. Contractholder funds also include reserves for secondary guarantees on interest-sensitive life insurance and certain fixed annuity contracts and reserves for certain guarantees on reinsured variable annuity contracts.
Separate accounts
Separate accounts assets are carried at fair value. The assets of the separate accounts are legally segregated and available only to settle separate accounts contract obligations. Separate accounts liabilities represent the contractholders’ claims to the related assets and are carried at an amount equal to the separate accounts assets. Investment income and realized capital gains and losses of the separate accounts accrue directly to the contractholders and therefore are not included in the Company’s

11



Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Deposits to and surrenders and withdrawals from the separate accounts are reflected in separate accounts liabilities and are not included in consolidated cash flows.
Absent any contract provision wherein the Company provides a guarantee, variable annuity and variable life insurance contractholders bear the investment risk that the separate accounts’ funds may not meet their stated investment objectives. Substantially all of the Company’s variable annuity business was reinsured beginning in 2006.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments
Commitments to invest, commitments to purchase private placement securities, commitments to extend loans, financial guarantees and credit guarantees have off-balance sheet risk because their contractual amounts are not recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (see Note 7 and Note 11).
Consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”)
The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is the variable interest holder in a VIE with both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted new FASB guidance requiring equity investments, including equity securities and limited partnership interests not accounted for under the equity method of accounting or that do not result in consolidation to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance clarifies that an entity should evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets related to available-for-sale fixed income securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The Company’s adoption of the new FASB guidance included adoption of the relevant elements of Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments, issued in February 2018.
Upon adoption of the new guidance on January 1, 2018, $308 million of pre-tax unrealized net capital gains for equity securities were reclassified from AOCI to retained income. The after-tax change in accounting for equity securities did not affect the Company’s total shareholder’s equity and the unrealized net capital gains of $238 million reclassified to retained income will never be recognized in net income.
Upon adoption of the new guidance on January 1, 2018, the carrying value of cost method limited partnership interests increased $95 million, pre-tax, to fair value. The after-tax cumulative-effect increase in retained income of $76 million increased the Company’s shareholder’s equity but will never be recognized in net income.
Pending accounting standards
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which revises the credit loss recognition criteria for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including reinsurance recoverables. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss recognition model with an expected loss recognition model. The objective of the expected credit loss model is for the reporting entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets in a valuation allowance deducted from the amortized cost basis of the related financial assets that results in presenting the net carrying value of the financial assets at the amount expected to be collected. The reporting entity must consider all relevant information available when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts over the life of an asset. Financial assets may be evaluated individually or on a pooled basis when they share similar risk characteristics. The measurement of credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities measured at fair value is not affected except that credit losses recognized are limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost and the carrying value adjustment is recognized through a valuation allowance and not as a direct write-down. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for most affected instruments must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained income. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption.
Accounting for Hedging Activities
In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments intended to better align hedge accounting with an organization’s risk management activities. The amendments expand hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and revise the measurement methodologies to better align with an organization’s risk management activities. Separate presentation of hedge ineffectiveness is eliminated to provide greater transparency of the full impact of hedging by requiring presentation of the results of the hedged item and hedging instrument in a single financial statement line item. In addition, the amendments are designed to reduce complexity by simplifying the manner in which assessments of hedge effectiveness may be performed. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The presentation and disclosure guidance is effective on a

12



prospective basis. The impact of adoption is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance revising the accounting for certain long-duration insurance contracts. The new guidance changes the measurement of the Company’s reserves for traditional life, life-contingent immediate annuities and certain voluntary accident and health insurance products. Under the new guidance, measurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy terminations, will be required to be reviewed and updated at least annually. The effect of updating measurement assumptions other than the discount rate are required to be determined on a retrospective basis and reported in net income. In addition, cash flows under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper medium grade fixed income instrument yield that is updated through OCI at each reporting date. These changes will replace current GAAP, which utilizes assumptions set at policy issuance until such time as the assumptions result in reserves that are deficient when compared to reserves computed using current assumptions. Under current GAAP, premium deficiency reserves are recognized in the amount of the deficiency, if any, computed using current assumptions.
The new guidance requires DAC and other capitalized balances currently amortized in proportion to premiums or gross profits to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term for all long-duration insurance contracts. DAC will not be subject to loss recognition testing but will be reduced when actual experience exceeds expected experience (i.e. as a result of unexpected contract terminations). The new guidance will no longer require adjustments to DAC and DSI related to unrealized gains and losses on investment securities supporting the related business.
Market risk benefit product features are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income with the exception of changes in the fair value attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit risk, which are required to be recognized in OCI. Substantially all of the Company’s market risk benefits are reinsured and therefore these impacts are not expected to be material to the Company.
The new guidance is to be included in the comparable financial statements issued in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, thereby requiring restatement of prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied to affected contracts and DAC on the basis of existing carrying amounts at the earliest period presented or it may be applied retrospectively using actual historical experience as of contract inception. The new guidance for market risk benefits is required to be adopted retrospectively.
The Company is evaluating the anticipated impacts of applying the new guidance to both retained income and AOCI. While the requirements of the new guidance represent a material change from existing GAAP, the underlying economics of the business and related cash flows are unchanged. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the specific impacts of adopting the new guidance, but anticipates the financial statement impact of migrating from existing GAAP to that required by the new guidance to be material, largely attributed to the impact of transitioning from an original investment-based discount rate to one based on an upper-medium grade fixed income investment yield and updates to mortality assumptions that had previously been locked in at issuance. The Company expects the most significant impacts will occur within the life-contingent immediate annuity products. The revised accounting for DAC will be applied prospectively using the new model and any DAC effects existing in AOCI as a result of applying existing GAAP at the date of adoption will be reversed.
3. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Non-cash investing activities include $43 million, $51 million and $117 million related to mergers and exchanges completed with equity securities, fixed income securities and limited partnerships, and modifications of certain mortgage loans and other investments in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Non-cash financing activities also included $34 million related to debt acquired in conjunction with the purchase of an investment in 2016.
The Company had two non-cash financing activities related to surplus note transactions. In 2017, the Company redeemed $325 million of surplus notes due to Kennett Capital, Inc. (“Kennett”), an unconsolidated affiliate of ALIC. In connection with the redemption, the related $325 million of notes due from Kennett (recorded as other investments) were extinguished. In 2016, the Company transferred to Kennett a $50 million surplus note issued by a consolidated subsidiary in exchange for a note receivable with a principal sum equal to that of the surplus note.
Liabilities for collateral received in conjunction with the Company’s securities lending program were $517 million, $539 million and $545 million as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are reported in other liabilities and accrued expenses. Obligations to return cash collateral for over-the-counter (“OTC”) and cleared derivatives were $8 million, $3 million and $5 million as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are reported in other liabilities and accrued expenses or other investments.

AFCAL is a VIE and ALIC is the primary beneficiary since ALIC has control over the significant activities of AFCAL, the obligation to absorb significant losses and the rights to residual returns. Therefore, AFCAL is included in ALIC’s consolidated financial statements. Transactions between ALIC, AFC and AFCAL are eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position included $407 million of agent loans, $2 million of cash and $140 million of notes due to related parties as of December 31, 2018 associated with AFCAL. The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position included $409 million of agent loans, $13 million of cash and $140 million of notes due to related parties as of December 31, 2017 associated with AFCAL.
The $140 million of notes due to related parties include the Class A Notes due March 10, 2034 that were sold to Allstate New Jersey Insurance Company, American Heritage Life Insurance Company, Allstate Assurance Company (“AAC”) and First Colonial Insurance Company. These notes have an annual interest rate of 3.25%. The Company incurred interest expense related to these notes of $5 million in both 2018 and 2017 and $113 thousand in 2016.

Reinsurance
The Company has coinsurance reinsurance agreements with its unconsolidated affiliate American Heritage Life Insurance Company (“AHL”) whereby the Company assumes certain interest-sensitive life insurance, fixed annuity contracts and accident and health insurance policies. The amounts assumed are disclosed in Note 9.
Effective January 1, 2017, ALIC entered into a coinsurance reinsurance agreement with AAC to assume certain term life insurance policies. In connection with the agreement, the Company recorded cash of $20 million, DAC of $45 million, other assets of $11 million, reserve for life-contingent contract benefits of $24 million and deferred tax liabilities of $18 million. The $34 million gain on the transaction was recorded as an increase to additional capital paid-in since the transaction was between entities under common control.
ALIC enters into certain intercompany reinsurance transactions with its wholly owned subsidiaries. ALIC enters into these transactions in order to maintain underwriting control and spread risk among various legal entities. These reinsurance agreements have been approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Broker-Dealer agreement
The Company receives distribution services from Allstate Financial Services, LLC, an affiliated broker-dealer company, for certain annuity and variable life insurance contracts sold by Allstate exclusive agencies and exclusive financial specialists. For these services, the Company incurred commission and other distribution expenses of $3 million, $9 million and $9 million of 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Structured settlement annuities
The Company previously issued structured settlement annuities, a type of immediate annuity, to fund structured settlements in matters involving AIC. In most cases, these annuities were issued under a “qualified assignment” whereby Allstate Assignment Company and prior to July 1, 2001 Allstate Settlement Corporation (“ASC”), both wholly owned subsidiaries of ALIC, purchased annuities from ALIC and assumed AIC’s obligation to make future payments.
AIC issued surety bonds to guarantee the payment of structured settlement benefits assumed by ASC (from both AIC and non-related parties) and funded by certain annuity contracts issued by the Company through June 30, 2001. ASC entered into a General Indemnity Agreement pursuant to which it indemnified AIC for any liabilities associated with the surety bonds and gave AIC certain collateral security rights with respect to the annuities and certain other rights in the event of any defaults covered by the surety bonds. ALIC guaranteed the payment of structured settlement benefits on all contracts issued on or after July 1, 2001. Reserves recorded by the Company for annuities that are guaranteed by the surety bonds of AIC were $4.59 billion and $4.63 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company is a party to a federal income tax allocation agreement with the Corporation (see Note 12).
Surplus notes
On December 2, 2016, the Company purchased for cash a $40 million 3.07% surplus note due December 2, 2036 that was issued by AAC. No payment of principal or interest is permitted on the surplus note without the written approval from the proper regulatory authority. The regulatory authority could prohibit the payment of interest and principal on the surplus notes if certain statutory capital requirements are not met. The surplus note is classified as fixed income securities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company recorded investment income on this surplus note of $1 million in both 2018 and 2017 and $99 thousand in 2016.
The Company incurred interest expense related to the $325 million surplus notes due to Kennett of $15 million in 2016. The surplus notes were redeemed in 2017.
Liquidity and intercompany loan agreements
The Company is party to an Amended and Restated Intercompany Liquidity Agreement (“Liquidity Agreement”) with certain of its affiliates, which include, but are not limited to, AIC, AAC and the Corporation. The Liquidity Agreement allows for short-term advances of funds to be made between parties for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. The Liquidity Agreement does not establish a commitment to advance funds on the part of any party. The Company and AIC each serve as a lender and borrower, AAC and certain other affiliates serve only as borrowers, and the Corporation serves only as a lender. The maximum amount of advances each party may make or receive is limited to $1 billion. Netting or offsetting of advances made and received is not permitted. Advances between the parties are required to have specified due dates less than or equal to 364 days from the date of the advance and be payable upon demand by written request from the lender at least 10 business days prior to the demand date. The borrower may make prepayments of the outstanding principal balance of an advance without penalty. Advances will

15



bear interest equal to or greater than the rate applicable to 30-day commercial paper issued by the Corporation on the date the advance is made with an adjustment on the first day of each month thereafter. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the Liquidity Agreement as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
In addition to the Liquidity Agreement, the Company has an intercompany loan agreement with the Corporation. The amount of intercompany loans available to the Company is at the discretion of the Corporation. The maximum amount of loans the Corporation will have outstanding to all its eligible subsidiaries at any given point in time is limited to $1 billion. The Corporation may use commercial paper borrowings, bank lines of credit and securities lending to fund intercompany borrowings. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the intercompany loan agreement as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Road Bay Investments, LLC (“RBI”), a consolidated subsidiary of ALIC, has a Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with AHL, according to which AHL agreed to extend revolving credit loans to RBI. As security for its obligations under the Credit Agreement, RBI entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with AHL, according to which RBI agreed to grant a pledge of and security interest in RBI’s right, title, and interest in certain assets of RBI. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Capital support agreement
The Company has a capital support agreement with AIC. Under the terms of this agreement, AIC agrees to provide capital to maintain the amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary to maintain a company action level risk-based capital (“RBC”) ratio of at least 150%. AIC’s obligation to provide capital to the Company under the agreement is limited to an aggregate amount of $1 billion. In exchange for providing this capital, the Company will pay AIC an annual commitment fee of 1% of the amount of the Capital and Surplus maximum that remains available on January 1 of such year. The Company or AIC have the right to terminate this agreement when: 1) the Company qualifies for a financial strength rating from S&P’s, Moody’s or A.M. Best, without giving weight to the existence of this agreement, that is the same or better than its rating with such support; 2) the Company’s RBC ratio is at least 300%; or 3) AIC no longer directly or indirectly owns at least 50% of the voting stock of the Company. During 2018 and 2017, no capital had been provided by AIC under this agreement.
External financing agreement
In January 2017, ALIC Reinsurance Company (“ALIC Re”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a master transaction agreement with Bueller Financing LLC (“Bueller”), an external financing provider. In accordance with the agreement, Bueller issued a variable funding puttable note (“credit-linked note”) that is held in a trust. The credit-linked note can be put back to Bueller for cash in the event certain ALIC Re statutory reserves and capital are depleted. The balance of the credit-linked note will vary based on the statutory reserve balance with a maximum value of $1.75 billion. The impacts of the agreement are eliminated in consolidation and have no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Dividends
The Company paid dividends of $250 million and $600 million to AIC in the form of cash in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Due to the adoption of the recognition and measurement accounting standard on January 1, 2018, equity securities and limited partnerships previously reported using the cost method are now reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and are no longer included in the table above.
The total amount of OTTI losses included in AOCI at the time of impairment for fixed income securities, which were not included in earnings, are presented in the following table. The amounts exclude $101 million and $113 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of net unrealized gains related to changes in valuation of the fixed income securities subsequent to the impairment measurement date.

The Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed income security, discounted at the security’s original or current effective rate, as appropriate, to calculate a recovery value and determine whether a credit loss exists. The determination of cash flow estimates is inherently subjective and methodologies may vary depending on facts and circumstances specific to the security. All reasonably available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable assumptions and forecasts, are considered when developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. That information generally includes, but is not limited to, the remaining payment terms of the security, prepayment speeds, foreign exchange rates, the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer, expected defaults, expected recoveries, the value of underlying collateral, vintage, geographic concentration of underlying collateral, available reserves or escrows, current subordination levels, third party guarantees and other credit enhancements. Other information, such as industry analyst reports and forecasts, sector credit ratings, financial condition of the bond insurer for insured fixed income securities, and other market data relevant to the realizability of contractual cash flows, may also be considered. The estimated fair value of collateral will be used to estimate recovery value if the Company determines that the security is dependent on the liquidation of collateral for ultimate settlement. If the estimated recovery value is less than the amortized cost of the security, a credit loss exists and an OTTI for the difference between the estimated recovery value and amortized cost is recorded in earnings.

19



The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other than credit remains classified in AOCI. If the Company determines that the fixed income security does not have sufficient cash flow or other information to estimate a recovery value for the security, the Company may conclude that the entire decline in fair value is deemed to be credit related and the loss is recorded in earnings.

Unrealized net capital gains and losses for limited partnership interests represent the Company’s share of EMA limited partnerships’ other comprehensive income. Fair value and gross unrealized gains and losses are not applicable.
(2) 
The insurance reserves adjustment represents the amount by which the reserve balance would increase if the net unrealized gains in the applicable product portfolios were realized and reinvested at lower interest rates, resulting in a premium deficiency. This adjustment primarily relates to structured settlement annuities with life contingencies (a type of immediate fixed annuities).
(3) 
The DAC and DSI adjustment balance represents the amount by which the amortization of DAC and DSI would increase or decrease if the unrealized gains or losses in the respective product portfolios were realized.

Portfolio monitoring
The Company has a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security whose carrying value may be other-than-temporarily impaired.
For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate authority has made the decision to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets either of these criteria, the security’s decline in fair value is considered other than temporary and is recorded in earnings.
If the Company has not made the decision to sell the fixed income security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether it expects to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The Company calculates the estimated recovery value by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows at the security’s original or current effective rate, as appropriate, and compares this to the amortized cost of the security. If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, the credit loss component of the impairment is recorded in earnings, with the remaining amount of the unrealized loss related to other factors recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company’s portfolio monitoring process includes a quarterly review of all securities to identify instances where the fair value of a security compared to its amortized cost is below established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of other impairment indicators such as ratings, ratings downgrades and payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which the Company may have a concern, are evaluated for potential OTTI using all reasonably available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security. Inherent in the Company’s evaluation of OTTI for these securities are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer. Some of the factors that may be considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary are: 1) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic location and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; 2) the specific reasons that a security is in an unrealized loss position, including overall market conditions which could affect liquidity; and 3) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost.

As of December 31, 2018, $358 million of the $389 million unrealized losses are related to securities with an unrealized loss position less than 20% of amortized cost, the degree of which suggests that these securities do not pose a high risk of being other-than-temporarily impaired. Of the $358 million, $252 million are related to unrealized losses on investment grade fixed income securities. Of the remaining $106 million, $93 million have been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. Investment grade is defined as a security having a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s, a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), a comparable rating from another nationally recognized rating agency, or a comparable internal rating if an externally provided rating is not available. Market prices for certain securities may have credit spreads which imply higher or lower credit quality than the current third party rating. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities are principally related to an increase in market yields which may include increased risk-free interest rates and/or wider credit spreads since the time of initial purchase. The unrealized losses are expected to reverse as the securities approach maturity.
As of December 31, 2018, the remaining $31 million of unrealized losses are related to securities in unrealized loss positions greater than or equal to 20% of amortized cost. Investment grade fixed income securities comprising $16 million of these unrealized losses were evaluated based on factors such as discounted cash flows and the financial condition and near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer and were determined to have adequate resources to fulfill contractual obligations. Of the $31 million, $15 million are related to below investment grade fixed income securities. Of these amounts, $2 million are related to below investment grade fixed income securities that had been in an unrealized loss position greater than or equal to 20% of amortized cost for a period of twelve or more consecutive months as of December 31, 2018.
ABS, RMBS and CMBS in an unrealized loss position were evaluated based on actual and projected collateral losses relative to the securities’ positions in the respective securitization trusts, security specific expectations of cash flows, and credit ratings. This evaluation also takes into consideration credit enhancement, measured in terms of (i) subordination from other classes of securities in the trust that are contractually obligated to absorb losses before the class of security the Company owns, and (ii) the expected impact of other structural features embedded in the securitization trust beneficial to the class of securities the Company

22



owns, such as overcollateralization and excess spread. Municipal bonds in an unrealized loss position were evaluated based on the underlying credit quality of the primary obligor, obligation type and quality of the underlying assets.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell fixed income securities with unrealized losses before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
Limited partnerships
Investments in limited partnership interests include interests in private equity funds, real estate funds and other funds. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the carrying value of EMA limited partnerships totaled $2.51 billion and $2.54 billion, respectively, and limited partnerships carried at fair value as of December 31, 2018, while at cost method as of December 31, 2017, totaled $787 million and $611 million, respectively. Principal factors influencing carrying value appreciation or decline include operating performance, comparable public company earnings multiples, capitalization rates and the economic environment. For equity method limited partnerships, the Company recognizes an impairment loss when evidence demonstrates that the loss is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value that is other than temporary may include the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain a level of earnings that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. Changes in fair value limited partnerships are recorded through net investment income and therefore are not tested for impairment.
Mortgage loans
The Company’s mortgage loans are commercial mortgage loans collateralized by a variety of commercial real estate property types located across the United States and totaled, net of valuation allowance, $4.00 billion and $3.88 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Substantially all of the commercial mortgage loans are non-recourse to the borrower.

Mortgage loans are evaluated for impairment on a specific loan basis through a quarterly credit monitoring process and review of key credit quality indicators. Mortgage loans are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will not collect the contractual principal and interest. Valuation allowances are established for impaired loans to reduce the carrying value to the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Impaired mortgage loans may not have a valuation allowance when the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell is higher than the carrying value. Valuation allowances are adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows. Mortgage loans are charged off against their corresponding valuation allowances when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The impairment

23



evaluation is non-statistical in respect to the aggregate portfolio but considers facts and circumstances attributable to each loan. It is not considered probable that additional impairment losses, beyond those identified on a specific loan basis, have been incurred as of December 31, 2018.
Accrual of income is suspended for mortgage loans that are in default or when full and timely collection of principal and interest payments is not probable. Cash receipts on mortgage loans on nonaccrual status are generally recorded as a reduction of carrying value.
Debt service coverage ratio is considered a key credit quality indicator when mortgage loans are evaluated for impairment. Debt service coverage ratio represents the amount of estimated cash flows from the property available to the borrower to meet principal and interest payment obligations. Debt service coverage ratio estimates are updated annually or more frequently if conditions are warranted based on the Company’s credit monitoring process.
The following table reflects the carrying value of non-impaired mortgage loans summarized by debt service coverage ratio distribution as of December 31.

Mortgage loans with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.0 that are not considered impaired primarily relate to instances where the borrower has the financial capacity to fund the revenue shortfalls from the properties for the foreseeable term, the decrease in cash flows from the properties is considered temporary, or there are other risk mitigating circumstances such as additional collateral, escrow balances or borrower guarantees.

Short-term investments
Short-term investments, including money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury bills and other short-term investments, are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of short-term investments totaled $810 million and $725 million, respectively.
Policy loans
Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. As of both December 30, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of policy loans totaled $561 million.
Other investments
Other investments primarily consist of agent loans, bank loans, real estate and derivatives. Agent loans are loans issued to exclusive Allstate agents and are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of valuation allowances and unamortized deferred fees or costs. Bank loans are primarily senior secured corporate loans and are carried at amortized cost. Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Derivatives are carried at fair value.

6. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company can access.
Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
(a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
(b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
(c)
Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.
The availability of observable inputs varies by instrument. In situations where fair value is based on internally developed pricing models or inputs that are unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is typically greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In many instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments.
The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company gains assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued through the execution of various processes and controls designed to ensure the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies, including inputs and assumptions, and compliance with accounting standards. For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company’s processes and controls are designed to ensure that the valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistently applied, the inputs and assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded. For example, on a continuing basis, the Company assesses the reasonableness of individual fair values that have stale security prices or that exceed certain thresholds as compared to previous fair values received from valuation service providers or brokers or derived from internal models. The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies, processes and controls of valuation service providers. In addition, the Company may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to other third party valuation sources for selected securities. The Company performs ongoing price validation procedures such as back-testing of actual sales, which corroborate the various inputs used in internal models to market observable data. When fair value determinations are expected to be more variable, the Company validates them through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investment transactions.
The Company has two types of situations where investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The first is where specific inputs significant to the fair value estimation models are not market observable. This primarily occurs in the Company’s use of broker quotes to value certain securities where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable, and the use of valuation models that use significant non-market observable inputs.
The second situation where the Company classifies securities in Level 3 is where quotes continue to be received from independent third-party valuation service providers and all significant inputs are market observable; however, there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset when compared to normal market activity such that the degree of market observability has declined to a point where categorization as a Level 3 measurement is considered appropriate. The indicators considered in determining whether a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for a specific asset has occurred include the level of new issuances in the primary market, trading volume in the secondary market, the level of credit spreads over historical levels, applicable bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants and other pricing sources.
Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, bank loans, agent loans and policy loans. Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to remeasurement at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting remeasurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

26


In determining fair value, the Company principally uses the market approach which generally utilizes market transaction data for the same or similar instruments. To a lesser extent, the Company uses the income approach which involves determining fair values from discounted cash flow methodologies. For the majority of Level 2 and Level 3 valuations, a combination of the market and income approaches is used.
Summary of significant valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Level 1 measurements
Fixed income securities: Comprise certain U.S. Treasury fixed income securities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.
Equity securities: Comprise actively traded, exchange-listed equity securities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.
Short-term: Comprise U.S. Treasury bills valued based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access and actively traded money market funds that have daily quoted net asset values for identical assets that the Company can access.
Separate account assets: Comprise actively traded mutual funds that have daily quoted net asset values that are readily determinable for identical assets that the Company can access. Net asset values for the actively traded mutual funds in which the separate account assets are invested are obtained daily from the fund managers.
Level 2 measurements
Fixed income securities:
U.S. government and agencies: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
Municipal: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
Corporate - public: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
Corporate - privately placed: Valued using a discounted cash flow model that is widely accepted in the financial services industry and uses market observable inputs and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow model include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets in markets that are not active that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.
Foreign government: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
ABS - collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) and ABS - consumer and other: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, collateral performance and credit spreads. Certain ABS - CDO and ABS - consumer and other are valued based on non-binding broker quotes whose inputs have been corroborated to be market observable.
RMBS: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, collateral performance and credit spreads.
CMBS: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, collateral performance and credit spreads.
Redeemable preferred stock: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, underlying stock prices and credit spreads.
Equity securities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.
Short-term: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
Other investments: Free-standing exchange listed derivatives that are not actively traded are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in markets that are not active.
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, total return swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, certain options and certain credit default swaps, are valued using models that rely on inputs such

27


as interest rate yield curves, implied volatilities, index price levels, currency rates, and credit spreads that are observable for substantially the full term of the contract. The valuation techniques underlying the models are widely accepted in the financial services industry and do not involve significant judgment.
Level 3 measurements
Fixed income securities: 
Municipal: Comprise municipal bonds that are not rated by third party credit rating agencies. The primary inputs to the valuation of these municipal bonds include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Also included are municipal bonds valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable.
Corporate - public and Corporate - privately placed: Primarily valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable. Other inputs include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.
ABS - CDO, ABS - consumer and other: Valued based on non-binding broker quotes received from brokers who are familiar with the investments and where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable.
Equity securities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements.
Other investments: Certain OTC derivatives, such as interest rate caps, certain credit default swaps and certain options (including swaptions), are valued using models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry. These are categorized as Level 3 as a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs such as volatility. Other primary inputs include interest rate yield curves and credit spreads.
Contractholder funds:  Derivatives embedded in certain life and annuity contracts are valued internally using models widely accepted in the financial services industry that determine a single best estimate of fair value for the embedded derivatives within a block of contractholder liabilities. The models primarily use stochastically determined cash flows based on the contractual elements of embedded derivatives, projected option cost and applicable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and equity index volatility assumptions. These are categorized as Level 3 as a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Mortgage loans written-down to fair value in connection with recognizing impairments are valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell.
Investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy
Limited partnerships carried at fair value, which do not have readily determinable fair values, use NAV provided by the investees and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not redeemable by the investees and generally cannot be sold without approval of the general partner. The Company receives distributions of income and proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying assets of the investees, which usually takes place in years 4-9 of the typical contractual life of 10-12 years. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has commitments to invest $277 million in these limited partnership interests.

The embedded derivatives are equity-indexed and forward starting options in certain life and annuity products that provide customers with interest crediting rates based on the performance of the S&P 500. If the projected option cost increased (decreased), it would result in a higher (lower) liability fair value.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Level 3 fair value measurements of fixed income securities total $191 million and $376 million, respectively, and include $80 million and $237 million, respectively, of securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable. The Company does not develop the unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value; therefore, these are not included in the table above. However, an increase (decrease) in credit spreads for fixed income securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes would result in a lower (higher) fair value.

Transfers between level categorizations may occur due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs, which generally are caused by changes in market conditions such as liquidity, trading volume or bid-ask spreads. Transfers between level categorizations may also occur due to changes in the valuation source, including situations where a fair value quote is not provided by the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider resulting in the price becoming stale or replaced with a broker quote whose inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable. This situation will result in the transfer of a security into Level 3. Transfers in and out of level categorizations are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. Therefore, for all transfers into Level 3, all realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses in the quarter of transfer are reflected in the Level 3 rollforward table.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2018, 2017 or 2016.

33


Transfers into Level 3 during 2018, 2017 and 2016 included situations where a fair value quote was not provided by the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider and as a result the price was stale or had been replaced with a broker quote where the inputs had not been corroborated to be market observable resulting in the security being classified as Level 3. Transfers out of Level 3 during 2018, 2017 and 2016 included situations where a broker quote was used in the prior period and a fair value quote became available from the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider in the current period. A quote utilizing the new pricing source was not available as of the prior period, and any gains or losses related to the change in valuation source for individual securities were not significant.
The table below provides valuation changes included in net income for Level 3 assets and liabilities held as of December 31.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments and Off-balance sheet Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivatives for risk reduction and to increase investment portfolio returns through asset replication. Risk reduction activity is focused on managing the risks with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impacts from changes in risk-free interest rates, changes in equity market valuations, increases in credit spreads and foreign currency fluctuations. Asset replication refers to the “synthetic” creation of assets through the use of derivatives. The Company replicates fixed income securities using a combination of a credit default swap, index total return swap or a foreign currency forward contract and one or more highly rated fixed income securities, primarily investment grade host bonds, to synthetically replicate the economic

34



characteristics of one or more cash market securities. The Company replicates equity securities using futures, index total return swaps and options to increase equity exposure.
The Company utilizes several derivative strategies to manage risk. Asset-liability management is a risk management strategy that is principally employed to balance the respective interest-rate sensitivities of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Depending upon the attributes of the assets acquired and liabilities issued, derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, swaptions and futures are utilized to change the interest rate characteristics of existing assets and liabilities to ensure the relationship is maintained within specified ranges and to reduce exposure to rising or falling interest rates. Fixed income index total return swaps are used to offset valuation losses in the fixed income portfolio during periods of declining market values. Credit default swaps are typically used to mitigate the credit risk within the Company’s fixed income portfolio. Futures and options are used for hedging the equity exposure contained in the Company’s equity indexed life and annuity product contracts that offer equity returns to contractholders. In addition, the Company uses equity index total return swaps, options and futures to offset valuation losses in the equity portfolio during periods of declining equity market values. Foreign currency swaps and forwards are primarily used by the Company to reduce the foreign currency risk associated with holding foreign currency denominated investments.
The Company also has derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of embedded derivatives reported in net income. The Company’s primary embedded derivatives are equity options in life and annuity product contracts, which provide returns linked to equity indices to contractholders.
When derivatives meet specific criteria, they may be designated as accounting hedges and accounted for as fair value, cash flow, foreign currency fair value or foreign currency cash flow hedges. The Company designates certain investment risk transfer reinsurance agreements as fair value hedges when the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged item. The Company designates certain of its foreign currency swap contracts as cash flow hedges when the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting the exposure of variations in cash flows for the hedged risk that could affect net income. Amounts are reclassified to net investment income or realized capital gains and losses as the hedged item affects net income.
The notional amounts specified in the contracts are used to calculate the exchange of contractual payments under the agreements and are generally not representative of the potential for gain or loss on these agreements. However, the notional amounts specified in credit default swaps where the Company has sold credit protection represent the maximum amount of potential loss, assuming no recoveries.
Fair value, which is equal to the carrying value, is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the derivative contracts at the reporting date. The carrying value amounts for OTC derivatives are further adjusted for the effects, if any, of enforceable master netting agreements and are presented on a net basis, by counterparty agreement, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
For those derivatives which qualify for fair value hedge accounting, net income includes the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged risk, and therefore reflects any hedging ineffectiveness. For cash flow hedges, gains and losses are amortized from AOCI and are reported in net income in the same period the forecasted transactions being hedged impact net income.
Non-hedge accounting is generally used for “portfolio” level hedging strategies where the terms of the individual hedged items do not meet the strict homogeneity requirements to permit the application of hedge accounting. For non-hedge derivatives, net income includes changes in fair value and accrued periodic settlements, when applicable. With the exception of non-hedge derivatives used for asset replication and non-hedge embedded derivatives, all of the Company’s derivatives are evaluated for their ongoing effectiveness as either accounting hedge or non-hedge derivative financial instruments on at least a quarterly basis.

The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by utilizing highly rated counterparties, establishing risk control limits, executing legally enforceable master netting agreements (“MNAs”) and obtaining collateral where appropriate. The Company uses MNAs for OTC derivative transactions that permit either party to net payments due for transactions and collateral is either pledged or obtained when certain predetermined exposure limits are exceeded. As of December 31, 2018, counterparties pledged $8 million in collateral to the Company, and the Company pledged $2 million in cash and securities to counterparties. The Company

has not incurred any losses on derivative financial instruments due to counterparty nonperformance. Other derivatives, including futures and certain option contracts, are traded on organized exchanges which require margin deposits and guarantee the execution of trades, thereby mitigating any potential credit risk.
Counterparty credit exposure represents the Company’s potential loss if all of the counterparties concurrently fail to perform under the contractual terms of the contracts and all collateral, if any, becomes worthless. This exposure is measured by the fair value of OTC derivative contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date reduced by the effect, if any, of legally enforceable master netting agreements.
For certain exchange traded and cleared derivatives, margin deposits are required as well as daily cash settlements of margin accounts. As of December 31, 2018 the Company pledged $7 million in the form of margin deposits.

Only OTC derivatives with a net positive fair value are included for each counterparty.
Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk exists for all of the derivative financial instruments the Company currently holds, as these instruments may become less valuable due to adverse changes in market conditions. To limit this risk, the Company’s senior management has established risk control limits. In addition, changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments that the Company uses for risk management purposes are generally offset by the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged risk component of the related assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.
Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent termination events, cross-default provisions and credit support annex agreements. Credit-risk-contingent termination events allow the counterparties to terminate the derivative agreement or a specific trade on certain dates if AIC’s, ALIC’s or Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York’s (“ALNY”) financial strength credit ratings by Moody’s or S&P fall below a certain level. Credit-risk-contingent cross-default provisions allow the counterparties to terminate the derivative agreement if the Company defaults by pre-determined threshold amounts on certain debt instruments. Credit-risk-contingent credit support annex agreements specify the amount of collateral the Company must post to counterparties based on AIC’s, ALIC’s or ALNY’s financial strength credit ratings by Moody’s or S&P, or in the event AIC, ALIC or ALNY are no longer rated by either Moody’s or S&P.
The following summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments with termination, cross-default or collateral credit-risk-contingent features that are in a liability position as of December 31, as well as the fair value of assets and collateral that are netted against the liability in accordance with provisions within legally enforceable MNAs.

Credit derivatives - selling protection
A credit default swap (“CDS”) is a derivative instrument, representing an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities), or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities (all commonly referred to as the “reference entity” or a portfolio of “reference entities”), in return for a periodic premium. In selling protection, CDSs are used to replicate fixed income securities and to complement the cash market when credit exposure to certain issuers is not available or when the derivative alternative is less expensive than the cash market alternative. CDSs typically have a five-year term.

In selling protection with CDS, the Company sells credit protection on an identified single name, a basket of names in a first-to-default (“FTD”) structure or credit derivative index (“CDX”) that is generally investment grade, and in return receives periodic premiums through expiration or termination of the agreement. With single name CDS, this premium or credit spread generally corresponds to the difference between the yield on the reference entity’s public fixed maturity cash instruments and swap rates at the time the agreement is executed. With a FTD basket, because of the additional credit risk inherent in a basket of named reference entities, the premium generally corresponds to a high proportion of the sum of the credit spreads of the names in the basket and the correlation between the names. CDX is utilized to take a position on multiple (generally 125) reference entities. Credit events are typically defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring, depending on the nature of the reference entities. If a credit event occurs, the Company settles with the counterparty, either through physical settlement or cash settlement. In a physical settlement, a reference asset is delivered by the buyer of protection to the Company, in exchange for cash payment at par, whereas in a cash settlement, the Company pays the difference between par and the prescribed value of the reference asset. When a credit event occurs in a single name or FTD basket (for FTD, the first credit event occurring for any one name in the basket), the contract terminates at the time of settlement. For CDX, the reference entity’s name incurring the credit event is removed from the index while the contract continues until expiration. The maximum payout on a CDS is the contract notional amount. A physical settlement may afford the Company with recovery rights as the new owner of the asset.
The Company monitors risk associated with credit derivatives through individual name credit limits at both a credit derivative and a combined cash instrument/credit derivative level. The ratings of individual names for which protection has been sold are also monitored.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments
The contractual amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments as of December 31 are as follows:

1,195

 
$
1,345

Private placement commitments

In the preceding table, the contractual amounts represent the amount at risk if the contract is fully drawn upon, the counterparty defaults and the value of any underlying security becomes worthless. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk.
Commitments to invest in limited partnership interests represent agreements to acquire new or additional participation in certain limited partnership investments. The Company enters into these agreements in the normal course of business. Because the investments in limited partnerships are not actively traded, it is not practical to estimate the fair value of these commitments.
Private placement commitments represent commitments to purchase private placement debt and private equity securities at a future date. The Company enters into these agreements in the normal course of business. The fair value of the debt commitments generally cannot be estimated on the date the commitment is made as the terms and conditions of the underlying private placement securities are not yet final. Because the private equity securities are not actively traded, it is not practical to estimate fair value of the commitments.
Other loan commitments are agreements to lend to a borrower provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The Company enters into these agreements to commit to future loan fundings at predetermined interest rates.

40



Commitments have either fixed or varying expiration dates or other termination clauses. The fair value of these commitments is insignificant.

In 2006, the Company disposed of substantially all of its variable annuity business through reinsurance agreements with The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (collectively “Prudential”).
To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, a premium deficiency reserve is recorded for certain immediate annuities with life contingencies. A liability is included in the reserve for life-contingent contract benefits with respect to this deficiency. The offset to this liability is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized net capital gains included in AOCI. The liability was zero and $315 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company offered various guarantees to variable annuity contractholders. In 2006, the Company disposed of substantially all of its variable annuity business through reinsurance agreements with Prudential. Liabilities for variable contract guarantees related to death benefits are included in the reserve for life-contingent contract benefits and the liabilities related to the income, withdrawal and accumulation benefits are included in contractholder funds. All liabilities for variable contract guarantees are reported on a gross basis on the balance sheet with a corresponding reinsurance recoverable asset for those contracts subject to reinsurance.
Absent any contract provision wherein the Company guarantees either a minimum return or account value upon death, a specified contract anniversary date, partial withdrawal or annuitization, variable annuity and variable life insurance contractholders bear the investment risk that the separate accounts’ funds may not meet their stated investment objectives. The account balances of variable annuity contracts’ separate accounts with guarantees included $2.45 billion and $3.00 billion of equity, fixed income and balanced mutual funds and $245 million and $322 million of money market mutual funds as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The table below presents information regarding the Company’s variable annuity contracts with guarantees. The Company’s variable annuity contracts may offer more than one type of guarantee in each contract; therefore, the sum of amounts listed exceeds the total account balances of variable annuity contracts’ separate accounts with guarantees.

____________
(1) 
Defined as the estimated current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance as of the balance sheet date.
(2) 
Defined as the estimated present value of the guaranteed minimum annuity payments in excess of the current account balance.
(3) 
Defined as the estimated current guaranteed minimum withdrawal balance (initial deposit) in excess of the current account balance as of the balance sheet date.
(4) 
Defined as the estimated present value of the guaranteed minimum accumulation balance in excess of the current account balance.
The liability for death and income benefit guarantees is equal to a benefit ratio multiplied by the cumulative contract charges earned, plus accrued interest less contract excess guarantee benefit payments. The benefit ratio is calculated as the estimated present value of all expected contract excess guarantee benefits divided by the present value of all expected contract charges. The establishment of reserves for these guarantees requires the projection of future fund values, mortality, persistency and customer benefit utilization rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated. For guarantees related to death benefits, benefits represent the projected excess guaranteed minimum death benefit payments. For guarantees related to income benefits, benefits represent the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the time of annuitization.
Projected benefits and contract charges used in determining the liability for certain guarantees are developed using models and stochastic scenarios that are also used in the development of estimated expected gross profits. Underlying assumptions for the liability related to income benefits include assumed future annuitization elections based on factors such as the extent of benefit to the potential annuitant, eligibility conditions and the annuitant’s attained age. The liability for guarantees is re-evaluated periodically, and adjustments are made to the liability balance through a charge or credit to contract benefits.
Guarantees related to the majority of withdrawal and accumulation benefits are considered to be derivative financial instruments; therefore, the liability for these benefits is established based on its fair value.

9. Reinsurance
The Company reinsures certain of its risks to other insurers primarily under yearly renewable term, coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements. These agreements result in a passing of the agreed-upon percentage of risk to the reinsurer in exchange for negotiated reinsurance premium payments. Modified coinsurance is similar to coinsurance, except that the cash and investments that support the liability for contract benefits are not transferred to the assuming company and settlements are made on a net basis between the companies.
For certain term life insurance policies issued prior to October 2009, the Company ceded up to 90% of the mortality risk depending on the year of policy issuance under coinsurance agreements to a pool of fourteen unaffiliated reinsurers. Effective October 2009, mortality risk on term business is ceded under yearly renewable term agreements under which the Company cedes mortality in excess of its retention, which is consistent with how the Company generally reinsures its permanent life insurance business. The following table summarizes those retention limits by period of policy issuance.
Period
 
Retention limits
April 2015 through current
 
Single life: $2 million per life
Joint life: no longer offered
April 2011 through March 2015
 
Single life: $5 million per life, $3 million age 70 and over, and $10 million for contracts that meet specific criteria
Joint life: $8 million per life, and $10 million for contracts that meet specific criteria

In addition, the Company has used reinsurance to effect the disposition of certain blocks of business. The Company had reinsurance recoverables of $1.36 billion and $1.35 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, due from Prudential related to the disposal of substantially all of its variable annuity business that was effected through reinsurance agreements. In 2018, premiums and contract charges of $72 million, contract benefits of $87 million, interest credited to contractholder funds of $20 million, and operating costs and expenses of $14 million were ceded to Prudential. In 2017, premiums and contract charges of $76 million, contract benefits of $7 million, interest credited to contractholder funds of $20 million, and operating costs and expenses of $15 million were ceded to Prudential. In 2016, premiums and contract charges of $78 million, contract benefits of $21 million, interest credited to contractholder funds of $20 million, and operating costs and expenses of $15 million were ceded to Prudential. In addition, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company had reinsurance recoverables of $118 million and $139 million, respectively, due from subsidiaries of Citigroup (Triton Insurance and American Health and Life Insurance) and Scottish Re (U.S.) Inc. in connection with the disposition of substantially all of the direct response distribution business in 2003.
The Company is the assuming reinsurer for Lincoln Benefit Life Company’s (“LBL’s”) life insurance business sold through the Allstate agency channel and LBL’s payout annuity business in force prior to the sale of LBL on April 1, 2014. Under the terms of the reinsurance agreement, the Company is required to have a trust with assets greater than or equal to the statutory reserves ceded by LBL to the Company, measured on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2018, the trust held $5.94 billion of investments, which are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
As of December 31, 2018, the gross life insurance in force was $414.52 billion of which $4.84 billion and $78.33 billion were ceded to affiliated and unaffiliated reinsurers, respectively.
The effects of reinsurance on premiums and contract charges for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

11. Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities
Guaranty funds
Under state insurance guaranty fund laws, insurers doing business in a state can be assessed, up to prescribed limits, for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Amounts assessed to each company are typically related to its proportion of business written in each state. The Company’s policy is to accrue assessments when the entity for which the insolvency relates has met its state of domicile’s statutory definition of insolvency and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. In most states, the definition is met with a declaration of financial insolvency by a court of competent jurisdiction. In certain states there must also be a final order of liquidation. Since most states allow a credit against premium or other state related taxes for assessments, an asset is recorded based on paid and accrued assessments for the amount the Company expects to recover on the respective state’s tax return and is realized over the period allocated by each state. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the liability balance included in other liabilities and accrued expenses was $4 million. The related premium tax offsets included in other assets were $7 million and $10 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Guarantees
Related to the sale of LBL on April 1, 2014, the Company agreed to indemnify Resolution Life Holdings, Inc. in connection with certain representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, and certain liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction, subject to specific contractual limitations regarding the Company’s maximum obligation. Management does not believe these indemnifications will have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
Related to the disposal through reinsurance of substantially all of the Company’s variable annuity business to Prudential in 2006, the Company and the Corporation have agreed to indemnify Prudential for certain pre-closing contingent liabilities (including extra-contractual liabilities of the Company and liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction) that the Company has agreed to retain. In addition, the Company and the Corporation will each indemnify Prudential for certain post-closing liabilities that may arise from the acts of the Company and its agents, including certain liabilities arising from the Company’s provision of transition services. The reinsurance agreements contain no limitations or indemnifications with regard to insurance risk transfer, and transferred all of the future risks and responsibilities for performance on the underlying variable annuity contracts to Prudential, including those related to benefit guarantees. Management does not believe this agreement will have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

46



The aggregate liability balance related to all guarantees was not material as of December 31, 2018.
In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard indemnifications to contractual counterparties in connection with numerous transactions, including acquisitions and divestitures. The types of indemnifications typically provided include indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties, taxes and certain other liabilities, such as third party lawsuits. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration and nature. In many cases, the maximum obligation is not explicitly stated and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. Consequently, the maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications is not determinable. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these obligations.
Regulation and compliance
The Company is subject to extensive laws, regulations and regulatory actions. From time to time, regulatory authorities or legislative bodies seek to impose additional regulations regarding agency and broker compensation, regulate the nature of and amount of investments, impose fines and penalties for unintended errors or mistakes, impose additional regulations regarding cybersecurity and privacy, and otherwise expand overall regulation of insurance products and the insurance industry. In addition, the Company is subject to laws and regulations administered and enforced by federal agencies, international agencies, and other organizations, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the U.S. Department of Justice. The Company has established procedures and policies to facilitate compliance with laws and regulations, to foster prudent business operations, and to support financial reporting. The Company routinely reviews its practices to validate compliance with laws and regulations and with internal procedures and policies. As a result of these reviews, from time to time the Company may decide to modify some of its procedures and policies. Such modifications, and the reviews that led to them, may be accompanied by payments being made and costs being incurred. The ultimate changes and eventual effects of these actions on the Company’s business, if any, are uncertain.
12. Income Taxes
ALIC and its subsidiaries (the “Allstate Life Group”) join with the Corporation (the “Allstate Group”) in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return and are party to a federal income tax allocation agreement (the “Allstate Tax Sharing Agreement”). Under the Allstate Tax Sharing Agreement, the Allstate Life Group pays to or receives from the Corporation the amount, if any, by which the Allstate Group’s federal income tax liability is affected by virtue of inclusion of the Allstate Life Group in the consolidated federal income tax return. Effectively, this results in the Allstate Life Group’s annual income tax provision being computed, with adjustments, as if the Allstate Life Group filed a separate return.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense as changes in tax laws or rates are enacted.
Tax Legislation
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Legislation became effective and impacted the Company generally in four areas:
1.Amended the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which among other items, permanently reduced the corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018. As a result, the corporate tax rate is not comparable between periods.
2.Changed international taxation to a modified territorial tax system whereby U.S. federal income taxes are generally eliminated on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, and certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations are included in U.S. federal taxable income. 
3.Contained several other provisions, such as limitations of deductibility of executive compensation, meals and entertainment and lobbying expenses and changes to the dividends received deduction.
4.Affected the timing of certain tax deductions for reserves and deferred acquisition costs, but does not impact the Company’s overall income tax expense.
The Company recorded a net tax benefit of $514 million, recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2017. The net benefit was primarily due to re-measurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities from 35% to 21% partially offset by the impact of the transition tax on deemed repatriation of deferred non-U.S. income. The Company’s effective income tax rate benefit for 2017 was 38.7% and included this one-time benefit of 71.8%.

47



During 2018, the impact of the Tax Legislation was adjusted from the Company’s preliminary estimates due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company previously made, guidance that was issued and actions the Company took as a result of the Tax Legislation, resulting in a net tax benefit of $53 million, recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The accounting for income tax effects of the Tax Legislation has been completed.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently examining the Allstate Group’s 2015 and 2016 federal income tax returns, with the 2017 tax year exam scheduled to begin mid-2019. The 2015-2017 cycle is expected to be completed in 2020. The 2013 and 2014 federal income tax return audit is complete through the exam phase and the Allstate Group will progress to the appeals process for one unagreed issue in 2019. Any adjustments that may result from IRS examinations of the Allstate Group’s tax returns are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company recognizes tax positions in the consolidated financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized on settlement. A liability is established for differences between positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company had $14 million, $2 million and $1 million liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits in 2018 related to the increase for tax positions taken in the current year. The change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits in 2017 related to the increase for tax positions taken in a prior year. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $2 million in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months due to IRS settlements.

13. Capital Structure
Debt outstanding
All of the Company’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 relates to intercompany obligations. These obligations reflect notes due to related parties and are discussed in Note 4. The Company paid $5 million, $6 million and $15 million of interest on debt in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company had $62 million and $34 million of investment-related debt that is reported in other liabilities and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
14. Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Limitations
ALIC and its insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed.
All states require domiciled insurance companies to prepare statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the applicable insurance commissioner and/or director. Statutory accounting practices differ from GAAP primarily since they require charging policy acquisition and certain sales inducement costs to expense as incurred, establishing life insurance reserves based on different actuarial assumptions, and valuing certain investments and establishing deferred taxes on a different basis.
Statutory net income of ALIC and its insurance subsidiaries was $410 million, $279 million and $192 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $3.47 billion and $3.41 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Dividend Limitations
The ability of ALIC to pay dividends is dependent on business conditions, income, cash requirements and other relevant factors. The payment of shareholder dividends by ALIC to AIC without the prior approval of the Illinois Department of Insurance (“IL DOI”) is limited to formula amounts based on net income and capital and surplus, determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices, as well as the timing and amount of dividends paid in the preceding twelve months. The Company paid dividends of $250 million in 2018. The maximum amount of dividends ALIC will be able to pay without prior IL DOI approval at a given point in time during 2019 is $347 million, less dividends paid during the preceding twelve months measured at that point in time.  The payment of a dividend in excess of this amount requires 30 days advance written notice to the IL DOI. The dividend is deemed approved, unless the IL DOI disapproves it within the 30 day notice period. Additionally, any dividend must be paid out of unassigned surplus excluding unrealized appreciation from investments, which for ALIC totaled $323 million as of December 31, 2018, and cannot result in capital and surplus being less than the minimum amount required by law.
ALIC may receive dividends from time to time from its insurance subsidiaries. The ability of these insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends is generally dependent on business conditions, income, cash requirements, and other relevant factors. The maximum amount of dividends insurance subsidiaries can pay to ALIC without prior DOI approval at any given point during 2019 is $64 million. ALIC did not receive dividends from its insurance subsidiaries during 2018 or 2017.
Under state insurance laws, insurance companies are required to maintain paid up capital of not less than the minimum capital requirement applicable to the types of insurance they are authorized to write. Insurance companies are also subject to risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements adopted by state insurance regulators. A company’s “authorized control level RBC” is calculated using various factors applied to certain financial balances and activity. Companies that do not maintain adjusted statutory capital

49



and surplus at a level in excess of the company action level RBC, which is two times authorized control level RBC, are required to take specified actions. Company action level RBC is significantly in excess of the minimum capital requirements. Total adjusted statutory capital and surplus and authorized control level RBC of ALIC were $3.90 billion and $680 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. ALIC’s insurance subsidiaries are included as a component of ALIC’s total statutory capital and surplus.
Intercompany transactions
Notification and approval of intercompany lending activities is also required by the IL DOI when ALIC does not have unassigned surplus and for transactions that exceed a level that is based on a formula using statutory admitted assets and statutory surplus.
15. Benefit Plans
Pension and other postretirement plans
Defined benefit pension plans, sponsored by the Corporation, cover most full-time employees, certain part-time employees and employee-agents. Benefits under the pension plans are based upon the employee’s length of service and eligible annual compensation. The cost allocated to the Company for the pension plans was $2 million, $7 million and $7 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Corporation has reserved the right to modify or terminate its benefit plans at any time and for any reason.
Allstate 401(k) Savings Plan
Employees of AIC are eligible to become members of the Allstate 401(k) Savings Plan (“Allstate Plan”). The Corporation’s contributions are based on the Corporation’s matching obligation and certain performance measures. The cost allocated to the Company for the Allstate Plan was $5 million, $4 million and $4 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS: As of January 31, 2019, there were 932 Qualified contract owners and 1,100 Non-Qualified contract owners.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION

The by-laws of Allstate Life provide for the indemnification of its Directors, Officers and Controlling Persons, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as incurred by such person, if such person acted properly. No indemnification



shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of a duty to the Company, unless a court determines such person is entitled to such indemnity.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising out of the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
