On December 17, 2015, the Board of Directors of The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.

The amendment added a new Article 13, which designates the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware unless said court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in which case, the Superior Court of the state of Delaware) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain legal actions, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum. The foregoing description of the amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the By-laws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
