Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially announce and furnish The Travelers Companies, Inc.'s financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007. It serves as a notification that the company has released a press release and a financial supplement containing these results.

The actual financial results are not detailed within the 8-K report itself. Instead, they are provided in the furnished Exhibits 99.1 (Press Release) and 99.2 (Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial Supplement), which are referenced and incorporated by this 8-K filing.

No, this 8-K filing itself does not contain new or material financial performance data. It acts as a notification and provides access to the press release and financial supplement (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) which contain the actual financial results and performance information.

When information is 'furnished' (as stated in the filing regarding Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2), it means it is being provided to the SEC but does not trigger the same legal liabilities or incorporation by reference into other filings under certain sections of securities laws (specifically Section 18 of the Exchange Act) as if it were 'filed'. Investors should still review the furnished information for performance insights, but its legal treatment differs.
