Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to announce and provide access to The Travelers Companies, Inc.'s financial results for the third quarter of 2015, which ended on September 30, 2015.

The detailed financial information is available through two furnished exhibits: Exhibit 99.1 (the press release announcing the results) and Exhibit 99.2 (the third quarter 2015 financial supplement), both of which are referenced in the 8-K.

When information is 'furnished' in an 8-K, it means it's being publicly disclosed but is not subject to the same legal liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as information that is formally 'filed'. This is a common distinction for earnings releases and similar updates.

This 8-K filing itself does not list specific financial figures. Instead, it directs investors to the furnished press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the financial supplement (Exhibit 99.2) where these detailed results are presented.
