Announcement of Early Tender Results of the Maximum Tender Offers for Allstate Life Global Funding Trusts’ Medium Term Notes

Secured by Funding Agreements Issued by Allstate Life Insurance Company

 

Northbrook, Ill., June 11, 2009 — On Thursday, June 11, 2009, Allstate Life Insurance Company (“Allstate Life”), as sponsor of the Allstate Life Global Funding Medium Term Note Program, announced the early tender results of the maximum tender offers (the “Maximum Tender Offers”) of the Allstate Life Global Funding Trusts listed in the table below (the “Issuers”) to purchase up to $654,679,000 of the secured medium term notes of such Issuers (the “Securities” and each a “Series” of Securities) in accordance with and subject to the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 28, 2009 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

 

Under the terms and conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase, the maximum aggregate principal amount to be accepted in the Maximum Tender Offers and Any and All Offers (which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 4, 2009) will be $1,600,000,000.  The maximum principal amount (the “Maximum Principal Amount”) of Securities to be accepted by the Issuers pursuant to the Maximum Tender Offers will be $654,679,000.  An aggregate principal amount of $945,321,000 of Securities had previously been validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Any and All Offers by Allstate Life Global Funding Trust 2005-4, Allstate Life Global Funding Trust 2008-5, and Allstate Life Global Funding Trust 2007-7.

 

The maximum principal amount to be accepted in the Maximum Tender Offers will, in the case of the $400,000,000 Floating Rate Notes due 2010 of Allstate Life Global Funding Trust 2007-5 (the “2007-5 Securities”), be $400,000,000.  The maximum principal amount to be accepted will, in the case of any Series of Securities with a higher numeric acceptance priority level (the “Acceptance Priority Level”) (as listed in the table below) than the 2007-5 Securities, be equal to the difference between $1,600,000,000 and the sum of (x) $945,321,000 and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Securities properly tendered and accepted for purchase by the applicable Issuers with a lower numeric Acceptance Priority Level than such Series.  If the principal amount of Securities tendered in any Maximum Tender Offer is greater than the applicable Maximum Principal Amount to be accepted, then the Securities of that Series accepted for purchase will be subject to proration (rounded downward such that holders of such Securities receive Securities in integral multiples of $1,000) and no Securities with a higher numeric Acceptance Priority Level will be purchased.

 

According to the information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the depositary for the Maximum Tender Offers, Securities in the principal amounts specified in the table below were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Maximum Tender Offers at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 10, 2009 (the “Early Tender Date”).  The Issuers expect that the applicable payments for the Securities purchased pursuant to the Maximum

 


 

Tender Offers will be made by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, on behalf of the Issuers, in same-day funds on June 25, 2009.
