Summary
The Allstate Corporation (ALL) filed an 8-K on December 1, 2020, providing an update on its previously announced merger with National General Holdings Corp. The company has filed necessary applications with U.S. state insurance regulatory authorities. Allstate anticipates the transaction will close on or about January 4, 2021, provided all insurance regulatory approvals are secured by the end of December 2020, and other customary closing conditions are met. While the company expresses optimism for an early 2021 closing, it also cautions that there is no guarantee that all regulatory approvals will be obtained within the expected timeframe. If approvals are delayed, the merger is still expected to close in early 2021, contingent upon receiving these approvals and meeting other standard closing conditions.
