Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01                                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Amended and Restated Service and Expense Agreement

 

On January 27, 2005, Lincoln Benefit Life Company (“LBL”) signed an Amended and Restated Service and Expense Agreement (“Agreement”) between Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”), The Allstate Corporation (“Allcorp”) and certain affiliates with an effective date of January 1, 2004 (“Effective Date”).

 

AIC previously entered into a Service and Expense Agreement dated as of January 1, 1999, with Allcorp and certain of its insurance company affiliates, including LBL, and another Service and Expense Agreement dated as of January 1, 2000, with certain of its non-insurance affiliates, pursuant to which AIC provides certain services and facilities to its various affiliates (collectively the “Original Agreements”).  The Original Agreements were amended on January 1, 2002, with the establishment of Allstate Investments, LLC, terminating the provision of investment management services by AIC.  Nevertheless, AIC continued to provide a wide range of other services and facilities to its affiliates under the Original Agreements.

 

The Agreement now consolidates the Original Agreements into one agreement and, in addition, allows for the provision of certain services and facilities by certain affiliates to AIC and to other affiliates from time to time and provides for possible future alternative methods of costing for facilities and services.

 

The Agreement also provides for the termination without penalties on the Effective Date of certain other service or expense agreements including the following agreements to which LBL is a party:

 

1.                                       Administrative Services Agreement between Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) and LBL effective February 1, 1998.

 

2.                                       Administrative Service Agreement between LBL and ALFS, Inc. (f/k/a Allstate Life Financial Services, Inc.) effective December 1, 1998.

 

LBL is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ALIC.  ALIC is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AIC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allcorp.  ALFS, Inc. is also a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ALIC.

 

Item 1.02                                             Termination of Material Definitive Agreements

 

Information required for Item 1.02 is incorporated by reference to the discussion above in Item 1.01.
