Equity awards are generally granted annually, with manager discretion and with the approval of the Board. 
Stock options have a ten-year term and vest one third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date.
Restricted Stock Units vest one third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date.
Performance Stock Awards that are earned will convert into shares of Allstate stock on the third anniversary of the grant date.

You will be eligible to receive an equity sign-on grant of $2,250,000 in Restricted Stock Units with a 3-year ratable vesting. The restricted stock units will be granted to you no later than 60 days following your first day of employment.
