SHAREHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph shows a five-year comparison of the cumulative total return to shareholders for the Company’s common stock and the common stock of companies included in the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index, which the Company believes is the most appropriate comparative index.

(1)The cumulative total return to shareholders is a concept used to compare the performance of a company’s stock over time. Cumulative total return to shareholders is calculated as the net stock price change for the specified time period plus the cumulative amount of dividends (assuming dividend reinvestment on the respective dividend payment dates) divided by the stock price at the beginning of the time period.

(2)Assumes $100 invested in common shares of The Travelers Companies, Inc. on December 31, 2020.

(3)Companies in the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index as of December 31, 2025 were the following: The Travelers Companies, Inc., Chubb Limited, Cincinnati Financial Corporation, The Progressive Corporation, The Allstate Corporation, Loews Corporation (CNA), W.R. Berkley Corporation, Arch Capital Group Limited, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Erie Indemnity Company, Assurant, Inc. and American International Group, Inc. Returns of each of the companies included in this index have been weighted according to their respective market capitalizations.

A long-term perspective is particularly important in the property and casualty insurance industry, where the periodic occurrences of significant catastrophes have historically produced results that can vary significantly year-to-year. Accordingly, the Company manages with a long-term perspective. From January 1, 2007, the year prior to the financial crisis, through

December 31, 2025, the Company’s cumulative return to shareholders was 745% as compared to 595% for the S&P 500 Index and 545% for the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index.

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

The table below sets forth information regarding repurchases by the Company of its common stock during the periods indicated.

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise. The most recent authorization was approved by the Board of Directors on January 21, 2026 and added $5.0 billion of repurchase capacity to the $2.02 billion capacity remaining at that date, which was previously approved by the Board of Directors on April 19, 2023. The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining appropriate capital levels for business operations, changes in the levels of written premiums, funding of its qualified pension plan, regulatory capital requirements of the operating insurance subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions, changes in tax laws and other factors. The cost of the treasury stock acquired pursuant to common share repurchases includes the 1% federal excise tax imposed on common share repurchase activity, net of common share issuances, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

The Company acquired 10,413 shares for a total cost of $3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that were not part of the publicly announced share repurchase authorizations. These shares consisted of shares retained to cover payroll withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock unit awards and performance share awards, and shares used by employees to cover the exercise price, as well as the related payroll withholding taxes, for stock options that were exercised.

For additional information regarding the Company’s share repurchases, see “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Information relating to compensation plans under which the Company’s equity securities are authorized for issuance is set forth in “Part III—Item 12” of this Report.
