FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to
the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include estimates and
assumptions related to economic, competitive and legislative developments. These forward-looking statements are
subject to change and uncertainty which are, in many instances, beyond our control and have been made based upon
management's expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon us. There can
be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of
future developments on us will be those anticipated by management. Actual results could differ materially from those
we expect, depending on the outcome of various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Part II,
Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006 (as updated from time to
time). These factors include:

· the difficulty in predicting our potential exposure for asbestos and environmental claims;


· the possible occurrence of terrorist attacks;


· the response of reinsurance companies under reinsurance contracts and the availability, pricing and adequacy
of reinsurance to protect us against losses;


· changes in the stock markets, interest rates or other financial markets, including the potential effect on our
statutory capital levels;


· the inability to effectively mitigate the impact of equity market volatility on our financial position and results
of operations arising from obligations under annuity product guarantees;


· our potential exposure arising out of regulatory proceedings or private claims relating to incentive
compensation or payments made to brokers or other producers and alleged anti-competitive conduct;


· the uncertain effect on us of regulatory and market-driven changes in practices relating to the payment of
incentive compensation to brokers and other producers, including changes that have been announced and those
which may occur in the future;


· the possibility of more unfavorable loss development;


· the incidence and severity of catastrophes, both natural and man-made;


· stronger than anticipated competitive activity;


· unfavorable judicial or legislative developments;


· the potential effect of domestic and foreign regulatory developments, including those which could increase our
business costs and required capital levels;


· the possibility of general economic and business conditions that are less favorable than anticipated;


· our ability to distribute products through distribution channels, both current and future;


· the uncertain effects of emerging claim and coverage issues;

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

· a downgrade in our financial strength or credit ratings;


· the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us;


· our ability to adequately price our property and casualty policies;

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
The Hartford is a diversified insurance and financial services holding company. We are among the largest
providers of investment products, individual life, group life and disability insurance products, and property and
casualty insurance products in the United States. Hartford Fire Insurance Company, or Hartford Fire, founded in
1810, is the oldest of our subsidiaries. Our companies write insurance and reinsurance in the United States and
internationally. At June 30, 2006, our total assets were $294.9 billion and our total stockholders' equity was
$15.4 billion.
We were formed in December 1985 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation. On December 19, 1995,
all our outstanding shares were distributed to ITT Corporation's stockholders and we became an independent
company. On May 2, 1997, we changed our name from ITT Hartford Group, Inc. to our current name, The Hartford
Financial Services Group, Inc.
As a holding company that is separate and distinct from our insurance subsidiaries, we have no significant
business operations of our own. Therefore, we rely on dividends from our insurance company and other subsidiaries
as the principal source of cash flow to meet our obligations. These obligations include payments on our debt
securities and the payment of dividends on our capital stock. The Connecticut insurance holding company laws limit
the payment of dividends by Connecticut-domiciled insurers. In addition, these laws require notice to and approval
by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment by those subsidiaries of any dividend if the
dividend and other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months exceeds the greater of:

· 10% of the insurer's policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year, and


· net income, or net gain from operations if the subsidiary is a life insurance company, for the previous calendar
year, in each case determined under statutory insurance accounting principles.
In addition, if any dividend of a Connecticut-domiciled insurer exceeds the insurer's earned surplus, it requires the
prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.
The insurance holding company laws of the other jurisdictions in which our insurance subsidiaries are
incorporated, or deemed commercially domiciled, generally contain similar, and in some instances more restrictive,
limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiaries are permitted in 2006 to pay up to a maximum of
approximately $1.9 billion in dividends in the aggregate to The Hartford and our subsidiary, Hartford Life, Inc.
("HLI"), without prior approval from the applicable insurance commissioner. Through September 27, 2006, The
Hartford and HLI received a combined total of $583 million in dividends from their insurance subsidiaries.
Our rights to participate in any distribution of assets of any of our subsidiaries, for example, upon their
liquidation or reorganization, and the ability of holders of the senior notes to benefit indirectly from a distribution,
are subject to the prior claims of creditors of the applicable subsidiary, except to the extent that we may be a creditor
of that subsidiary. Claims on these subsidiaries by persons other than us include, as of June 30, 2006, claims by
policyholders for benefits payable amounting to $103.0 billion, claims by separate account holders of $156.5 billion,
and other liabilities including claims of trade creditors, claims from guaranty associations and claims from holders of
debt obligations amounting to $16.1 billion.
Our principal executive offices are located at Hartford Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06115, and our telephone
number is (860) 547-5000.
