Contract Value – During the accumulation phase, the sum of the value of your interest in the variable sub-accounts you have selected, plus your value in the fixed account option(s) offered by your Contract, including the MVA Account Option.
Guarantee Period – A period of years during which we guarantee payments and transfers to your Contract earn interest at a specified rate.
Income Plan – A series of scheduled payments to you or someone you designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10 years. Under Income Plan 1, we make income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by the applicable Contract.
Market Value Adjustment – A calculation we apply to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time it is removed from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when you remove your money. The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates.
MVA Account Option – The Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option available under the Contracts.
Payout Start Date – The day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be at least 30 days after the issue date and no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.

Expenses
There is no charge that applies specifically to the MVA Account Option. However, certain charges under certain base variable annuity contracts and riders added to the base contract are based on (i) the Contract Value, which includes the value held in the MVA Account Option, or (ii) net premiums, including premiums allocated to the MVA Account Option. Please refer to the appropriate variable annuity contract for more information as to these charges.
Description of the MVA Account Option
Introduction. The MVA Account Option offers fixed interest rates that we guarantee for specified periods we call “Guarantee Periods”. You may allocate new premium or existing Contract Value to the MVA Account Option. You may select the period for which the interest rate on our allocation will be guaranteed from among the Guarantee Periods we are then offering. Each allocation will establish a separate Guarantee Period account. At the end of each Guarantee Period, you may choose to roll over the value of that Guarantee Period account into a new Guarantee Period or allocate the value of that Guarantee Period account to another investment option available under your variable annuity contract. If you withdraw Contract Value from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration, a Market Value Adjustment (which can be positive or negative) will apply, except for withdrawals taken during the 10-day period after the expiration of a Guarantee Period.
Guarantee Periods. The MVA Account Option is divided into Guarantee Periods. Each purchase payment (plus the appropriate portion of the Credit Enhancement for Allstate Provider Extra Contracts) or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for your most recent purchase payment.
Each purchase payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50.
We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to this Option.
Interest Rates: We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we are offering at a particular time. We will not change the interest rate that we credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the same length that begin at different times.
We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. We determine the interest rates to be declared in our sole discretion. We can neither predict nor guarantee what those rates will be in the future. For current interest rate information, please contact your representative or Allstate at 1-800-755-5275.
How we credit interest. We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the annual interest rate that we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, and the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time you invested the amount withdrawn.
Renewals. At least 30 days prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
6 PROSPECTUS
1) | Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that length; or |
2) | Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or |
3) | Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the transfer on the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred to include a Market Value Adjustment; or |
4) | Withdraw all or a portion of your money. A withdrawal charge may apply, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and income tax withholding, if applicable. |
If you choose option 3 or 4 above, we will pay interest from the date the previous Guarantee Period expired until the date of the transfer or withdrawal as applicable. The interest rate will be the then current rate we are crediting for a Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. Amounts not withdrawn or transferred will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends.
Market Value Adjustment. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment also will apply when you apply amounts currently invested in a Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless paid or applied during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires). A Market Value Adjustment may apply in the calculation of the Settlement Value described in the “Death Benefit Amount” your Contract.
We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:
• | within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described in your Contract; |
• | that qualifies for one of the waivers as described in annuity; |
• | to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or |
• | within one year after the date of the death of the Owner as the surviving spouse continuing the Contract (limit one withdrawal only). |
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time you remove it from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when you remove your money. “Treasury Rate” means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value Adjustment, any withdrawal charge (Allstate Provider Ultra Contracts and Allstate Provider Extra Contracts only), and any premium taxes and income tax withholding (if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a Guaranteed Period to an amount that is less than the purchase payment applied to that period plus interest earned under the Contract.
Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan.
7 PROSPECTUS
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5-year Treasury Rate for that duration is 4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at that later time, the current 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a decrease in the amount payable to you. The hypothetical interest rate in this example is illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict future interest rates to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above, and in recent years they generally have been lower in a generally low interest rate environment.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix I to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.
Distribution of the Contracts
The MVA Account Option is available only under certain variable annuity contracts issued by Allstate Life, as identified above. Extensive information about the arrangement for distributing the variable annuity contracts is included under “Distribution” in the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus and in the statement of additional information that relates to that prospectus. All of that information applies, regardless of whether you choose to allocate Contract Value to the MVA Account Option, and there is no additional plan of distribution or sales compensation with respect to the MVA Account Option. Also as described in the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus, the principal underwriter for all of the Contracts is Allstate Distributors, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allstate Life. The underwriting agreement with Allstate Distributors provides that we will reimburse Allstate Distributors for any liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts issued.

Annual Reports and Other Documents
Allstate Life incorporates by reference into the prospectus its latest annual report on Form 10-K, SEC File No. 000-31248, filed on February 28, 2020, pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by its latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Box 758566, Topeka, KS 66675-8566 or by calling 1-800- 457-7617. Allstate Life files periodic reports as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy, and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC (see http://www.sec.gov).
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
The Allstate Corporation has secured a financial institutions bond in the amount of $5,000,000, subject to a $25,000,000 deductible. The Allstate Corporation also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with limits of $200 million under which Allstate Life, as well as certain other subsidiaries, are covered. A provision in Allstate Life’s ’s by-laws provides for the indemnification of individuals serving as directors or officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Allstate Life pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Allstate Life has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
Reliance on Rule 12h-7
Rule 12h-7 under the Exchange Act exempts an insurance company from filing reports under the Exchange Act when the insurance company issues certain types of insurance products that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and such products are regulated under state law. The MVA Account Options described in this prospectus fall within the exemption provided under Rule 12h-7. Effective May 8, 2020, Allstate Life will rely on the exemption provided under Rule 12h-7 and will not file reports under the Exchange Act.

19 PROSPECTUS
Policies and Procedures for Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions
All intercompany agreements to which Allstate Life is a party are approved by the Board as well as by the board of any other affiliate of The Allstate Corporation which is a party to the agreement. Intercompany agreements are also submitted for approval to the Illinois Department of Insurance, Allstate Life’s domestic regulator pursuant to the applicable state’s insurance holding company systems act. This process is documented in writing in an internal procedure that captures the review and approval process of all intercompany agreements. All approvals are maintained in Allstate Life’s corporate records.
While there is no formal process for the review and approval of related person transactions between unaffiliated entities specific to Allstate Life, all directors and executive officers of Allstate Life are subject to the Global Code of Business Conduct (“Code”). The Code includes a written conflict of interest policy that was adopted by the Board of Directors of The Allstate Corporation, the ultimate parent company of Allstate Life. Any potential relationship or activity that could impair independent thinking and judgment, including holding a financial interest in a business venture that is similar to Allstate, or in a business that has a relationship with Allstate, must be disclosed to Human Resources. Human Resources will work with representatives from the Law Department, including Enterprise Business Conduct, to determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists. Each director and executive officer must sign a certification annually.
Director Independence
All directors of Allstate Life are employees of Allstate Insurance Company. Under Illinois law, Allstate Life is not required to have independent directors.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the Township of Northfield, State of Illinois on the 15th day of April, 2020.
