PROXY STATEMENT
------------------------

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to stockholders of The Travelers
Inc. (formerly Primerica Corporation) (the "Company") in connection with the
solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company of proxies for use at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at Carnegie Hall, 881
Seventh Avenue, New York, New York, on Wednesday, April 27, 1994 at 10:00 a.m.
local time, and at any adjournments or postponements of such Meeting. This Proxy
Statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed beginning on or about
March 30, 1994 to stockholders of the Company on March 8, 1994, the record date
for the Annual Meeting. The Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 will be delivered prior to or concurrently
with mailing of the proxy material.

Stockholders of the Company are cordially invited to attend the Annual
Meeting. Whether or not you expect to attend, it is important that you complete
the enclosed proxy card, and sign, date and return it as promptly as possible in
the envelope enclosed for that purpose. You have the right to revoke your proxy
at any time prior to its use by filing a written notice of revocation with the
Secretary of the Company prior to the convening of the Annual Meeting, or by
presenting another proxy card with a later date. If you attend the Annual
Meeting and desire to vote in person, you may request that your previously
submitted proxy card not be used.

The cost of soliciting proxies and the cost of the Annual Meeting will be
borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail,
proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone and similar means by
directors, officers or employees of the Company, none of whom will be specially
compensated for such activities. The Company also intends to request that
brokers, banks and other nominees solicit proxies from their principals and will
pay such brokers, banks and other nominees certain expenses incurred by them for
such activities. The Company has retained Morrow & Co., Inc., a proxy soliciting
firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies, for an estimated fee of $17,000,
plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses.

The Company paid two stock dividends during 1993, and in connection with
the merger of The Travelers Corporation ("old Travelers") with and into the
Company on December 31, 1993 (the "Travelers Merger"), issued 0.80423 shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), in
exchange for each share of old Travelers common stock (with certain exceptions).
As a result of these transactions, certain Company records, including but not
limited to those relating to stock option grants and deferred directors shares,
include fractional share amounts. The Company cannot issue fractional share
interests, however, and accordingly fractional share amounts have been deleted
from the numbers reported in this proxy statement.

VOTING RIGHTS

As of March 8, 1994, the record date for determination of stockholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"), the
outstanding stock of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at
the Annual Meeting consisted of 323,716,455 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, and 4,406,431 shares of $4.53 ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C,
par value $1.00 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"). The Series C
Preferred Stock was issued in exchange for the Series A Preference Stock of old
Travelers following the Travelers Merger effective December 31, 1993. Each share
of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter that is voted on at the

Annual Meeting and each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to 1.3
votes on each matter that is voted on at the Annual Meeting, and there is no
cumulative voting. The Common Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock will vote
together as a single class on all matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual
Meeting.

The Company's other series of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, including
the 8.125% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, the 5.50% Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series B, and the 9.25% Preferred Stock, Series D, have no right to vote
on any of the matters that are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

To the best knowledge of the Company, as of the Record Date no person
"beneficially owned" (as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC")) more than 5% of the Common Stock outstanding and
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

All of the Series C Preferred Stock is held of record by Dory & Co., the
nominee of Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, 777 Main Street,
Hartford, Connecticut 06115, as trustee (the "ESOP Trustee") acting on behalf of
the employee stock ownership feature of the former The Travelers Savings,
Investment and Stock Ownership Plan (the "TESIP Plan"), which the Company has
assumed and is currently continuing in place. As of the Record Date, the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock were beneficially held by approximately 21,000
holders through their participation in the TESIP Plan.

QUORUM; VOTING PROCEDURES

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders
of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
outstanding and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum. Pursuant to
applicable Delaware law, and subject to the voting of Series C Preferred
Stock by the ESOP Trustee, described below, only votes cast "for" a
matter constitute affirmative votes. Votes "withheld" or abstaining
from voting are counted for quorum purposes, but since they are not
cast "for" a particular matter, they will have the same effect as
negative votes or votes "against" a particular matter. The votes required
with respect to the items set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders are set forth in the discussion of each item herein.

Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy card, all shares of
Common Stock represented by valid proxies will be voted FOR the four items
listed on the proxy card and described below, and will be voted in the
discretion of the proxies in respect of such other business, if any, as may
properly be brought before the Annual Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Board
of Directors knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration
at the Annual Meeting other than those matters referred to herein. If you give
specific voting instructions by marking the boxes on the proxy card, your
shares of Common Stock will be voted in accordance with such instructions.

The ESOP Trustee, as the record holder of the Series C Preferred Stock,
will vote shares of Series C Preferred Stock that have been allocated to TESIP
Plan participants' accounts in accordance with instructions received from such
participants. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock as to which no instructions are
received and shares that have not been allocated to the accounts of participants
in the TESIP Plan will be voted by the ESOP Trustee in the same proportion as
votes in respect of allocated shares as to which participants in the TESIP Plan
have given instructions.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth, as of the Record Date, the Common Stock and
Series C Preferred Stock ownership of each director and certain executive
officers of the Company. As of the Record Date, the directors and the executive
officers of the Company as a group (26 persons) beneficially owned 9,514,262
shares of Common Stock and 2,483 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or
approximately 2.9% of the total voting power of the Common Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting),
including an aggregate of 1,593,647 shares of Common Stock that such persons
may acquire pursuant to options exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date.
As of the Record Date, all current and former employees as a group, including
the executive officers of the Company, beneficially owned or had received
through employee stock incentive or purchase plans an aggregate of
approximately 33 million shares of Common Stock and beneficially owned
all of the 4,406,431 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which amount of
Common Stock includes an aggregate of 7,550,313 shares of Common Stock
that such persons may acquire pursuant to options exercisable within 60
days of the Record Date. Had such 33 million shares of Common Stock
been held of record on the Record Date, such shares of Common Stock
and Series C Preferred Stock would have represented approximately 11.5%
of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock then outstanding and eligible to vote. These amounts
are based upon the Company's records of beneficial ownership by its current
officers and ownership by all employees under The Travelers Inc. Stock Option
Plan (the "Option Plan"), the Savings Plan, The Travelers Inc. Capital
Accumulation Plan (the "CAP Plan") and the TESIP Plan. The actual ownership by
employees is not determinable by the Company since employees may own shares of
Common Stock in street name.

As of the Record Date, no individual director or executive officer
beneficially owned one percent or more of the Common Stock outstanding and
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, except Mr. Weill who beneficially owned
4,489,656 shares (1.4%) of Common Stock, including 708,888 shares that he had
the right to acquire pursuant to options exercisable within 60 days of the
Record Date. As of the Record Date, no individual director or executive officer
beneficially owned one percent or more of the Series C Preferred Stock, and no
director or executive officer beneficially owned any shares of any other
series of the Company's preferred stock. Except as otherwise expressly
stated in the footnotes to the following table, beneficial ownership
of shares means that the beneficial owner thereof has sole voting
and investment power over such shares.

(2) The TESIP Plan was assumed by the Company in connection with the Travelers
Merger. The TESIP Plan includes a tax-deferred savings and investment
feature (similar to the Company's 401(k) Plan) that permits investment in
the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the employer match feature of the
TESIP Plan is currently made in the form of Series C Preferred Stock, held
of record by the ESOP Trustee, and convertible into one share of the
Company's Common Stock for each $66.21 of stated value of the Series C
Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock set forth in this table (as of February 28, 1994) may (by virtue of
such currently exercisable conversion right) be deemed to represent
beneficial ownership of an aggregate of approximately 1,996 shares of
Common Stock.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who
own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity
securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC
and the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), and to furnish the Company with
copies of all such Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of
the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from
certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the year ended
December 31, 1993, each of its officers, directors and greater than ten
percent stockholders complied with all such applicable filing requirements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

REPORT OF THE NOMINATIONS AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Statement of Philosophy. The Company seeks to attract and retain highly
qualified employees at all levels, including particularly executive officers
whose performance is critical to the Company's success. In order to accomplish
this, the Company is willing to provide superior compensation for superior
performance. The Committee measures such performance on either a company-wide or
a business unit basis, or using both criteria, as the nature of an executive's
responsibilities may dictate.

Compensation of executive officers in 1993 consisted of base salary and
discretionary bonuses, a significant portion of which was restricted stock
awarded pursuant to the Company's CAP Plan. In addition, under the Company's
long-standing policy of providing economic incentives to its employees at all
levels in the form of stock ownership, the Company from time to time grants
stock options not only to executive officers but to a broad range of employees.
All executives who are members of the Company's Planning Group have previously
represented that, for so long as they are members of such group and
participate in the reload program under the Option Plan, they will not
dispose of their Common Stock except for donations to charity or for use in
connection with participation in the stock option and restricted stock plans
of the Company.

It is also the Company's policy to take all reasonable steps to obtain the
fullest possible corporate tax deduction for compensation paid to its executive
officers by qualifying for the exemptions from limitations on such deductibility
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). To this end, in 1993 the Company requested and received stockholder
approval for changes to the Option Plan to meet such Code requirements, and
seeks stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting of a bonus compensation plan
designed to have such effect.

1993 Committee Review Process. Executive compensation is reviewed and
approved annually by this Committee, which is composed entirely of non-employee
directors. The Committee considered and gave various weight to both qualitative
and quantitative factors, including such factors as earnings, earnings per
share, return on equity and return on assets. In conducting such review, the
Committee has generally examined changes in the Company's financial results over
time, both overall corporate results and on an operating unit basis, and
comparative data for comparable companies, to the extent it is publicly
available. However, the analysis of corporate performance in financial reporting
terms alone is not determinative. The Committee has given significant weight to
qualitative factors in approving 1993 compensation with particular emphasis on
the performance of the Company's executive team in a year in which two major
acquisitions have been completed and the scope of responsibilities of each of
the most senior executive officers has been expanded.

With regard to its consideration of compensation for the chief executive
officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers of the
Company, the Committee requested the assistance of the Actuarial, Benefits and
Compensation Consulting Services of the accounting firm of Ernst & Young. Ernst
& Young identified 14 comparator companies as competing in whole or in part
directly with one or more business segments of the Company. Of this group of 14
companies, ten are companies included in the industry peer group used in the
performance graph included in these proxy materials.

Ernst & Young concluded that it was appropriate to examine compensation of
comparable chief executive officers in companies within the comparator group
most nearly coinciding with the responsibilities of each of the Company's
executive officers. Comparisons were then made in each of the areas of annual
compensation, long-term compensation and total compensation between the
Company's compensation of the five individuals named in the Summary Compensation
Table and the compensation reported by the most nearly comparable companies
within the comparator group. Based upon such analysis, Ernst & Young opined
affirmatively as to the appropriateness of the 1993 compensation of the
Company's five senior executives.

The Committee has reviewed the Ernst & Young data and, in addition to
factors considered by the Committee as discussed elsewhere in this report, has
concluded that the compensation of each of the senior executives named in the
Summary Compensation Table was appropriate.

Base Salary. Increases in base salary paid to all executive officers are
determined periodically, based upon the individual's performance, any change in
the scope of responsibilities and the individual's seniority and experience.
Examination of competitors' pay practices in this area is conducted periodically
to ensure that the Company will be in a position to attract new talent and
retain current valuable employees.

Incentive Bonuses. Although there was no fixed formula for each
component of
overall compensation for 1993, discretionary bonus awards were a substantial
part of total compensation of Company executives. Factors considered included
not only individual performance but also performance of each business unit for
which the executive may be directly responsible, and such individual's
contributions to overall Company policy and strategic decisions through
membership in the corporate Planning Group that consists of the most senior
executives of the Company. Because a percentage of executive compensation is
paid in the form of restricted stock under the Company's CAP Plan, bonus awards
are not only a short-term cash reward but also a long-term incentive that ties
future realization of benefits by such executives to the enhancement of
stockholder values. The restricted period applicable to awards to executive
officers under the CAP Plan will be extended from two to three years beginning
with the awards made with respect to 1994, in furtherance of the long term
nature of such compensation. In addition, the Executive Performance Compensation
Plan that is proposed for stockholder action at the 1994 Annual Meeting will
result in determination of maximum bonuses payable under such plan to the chief
executive officer and the other four most highly compensated executives.

Stock Options. Other than grants of stock options that arose by operation
of the reload feature of the Option Plan approved by stockholders in 1992, no
grants of stock options were made except those in consideration of the promotion
of Mr. Dimon and his assumption of greater corporate responsibilities as
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and in order to attract to
the Company an executive of the caliber of Mr. Greenhill to enhance the
operations of the new Smith Barney Shearson. In making option awards generally,
the Committee considers the number of options previously granted to each
executive in order to determine whether the total number of shares covered by
all outstanding option awards adequately reflects the individual's importance to
the future success and profitability of the Company.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. 1993 was an extraordinary
year, marked by completion of two major acquisitions that changed the profile of
the Company and substantially increased its size. Operationally, the Company
achieved a significant increase in earnings and, the Committee believes, in
stockholder value as well. Mr. Weill provided the leadership for these
accomplishments.

Accordingly, the Committee believes that an increase of approximately 6.5%
in Mr. Weill's salary and an approximate 89% increase in his cash bonus
compensation is consistent with the relative importance given to salary and
bonus compensation discussed above. No grants of additional stock options were
made, other than by operation of the reload feature of the Company's Option Plan
upon Mr. Weill's exercise of his Control Data options and the reload options
associated with such exercise.

(A) The shares reflected as grants of stock options for 1991, 1992 and 1993
were in each case reload options created automatically upon an exercise
of outstanding options by a surrender of previously owned shares, except
for options covering 230,666 shares granted to Mr. Dimon in 1993 and
covering 1,333,333 shares granted to Mr. Greenhill in 1993.
(B) No disclosure is required in this column for fiscal years ended before
December 15, 1992. Except as set forth in this column, none of the
executive officers received perquisites or other personal benefits during
1993 in an amount equal to or exceeding $50,000. The aggregate amount set
forth for Mr. Weill for 1993 includes perquisites of which $45,418 was
for use of Company transportation and $36,303 was for financial planning
services.
(C) Restricted stock awards are made under the Company's CAP Plan. The CAP
Plan provides for payment, mandatory as to senior executives and others
within the Company, of a portion of compensation in the form of awards of
restricted stock at a discount (currently 25%) from market value. Under
the current award formula in effect under the CAP Plan for corporate
executives, the following percentages of annual compensation are payable
in the form of shares of restricted stock:

ANNUAL COMPENSATION % IN RESTRICTED STOCK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

Up to $200,000...................................................... 10%
$200,001 to $400,000................................................ 15%
$400,001 to $600,000................................................ 20%
Amounts over $600,000............................................... 25%

Annual compensation generally consists of salary and incentive awards.
Except under limited circumstances, the recipient of restricted stock is
not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of such stock (except by will or
the laws of descent and distribution) for a period of two years from the
date of grant (or such other period as may be determined to be applicable
to various classes of participants in the sole discretion of the
Committee). Except as noted in footnote (E), all of the awards listed in
the table vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The
restricted period applicable to awards made for the 1994 plan year,
however, will generally be three years. Upon expiration of such restricted
period, and assuming the recipient's continued employment with the Company,
the shares of restricted stock become fully vested and freely transferable.
From the date of grant, the recipient may vote the restricted stock and
receives dividends or dividend equivalents on the shares of restricted
stock at the same rate as dividends are paid on all outstanding shares of
Common Stock. As of December 31, 1993, the total holdings of CAP Plan
restricted stock and the market value at such date of such shares for each
of the persons in the Summary Compensation Table were as follows: Mr.
Weill: 83,976 shares ($3,264,567); Mr. Zarb: 69,550 shares
($2,703,756.25); Mr. Lipp: 38,615 shares ($1,501,158.125); Mr. Dimon:
38,734 shares ($1,505,784.25); and Mr. Greenhill: 40,134 shares
($1,560,209.25). The year-end market price was $38.875 per share.
(D) Represents the Company matching grant for 1993 pursuant to the Company's
Savings Plan (in the form of Common Stock having a market value of $1,000
at December 31, 1993) and supplemental life insurance premiums paid by the
Company. No disclosure is required in this column for fiscal years ended
before December 15, 1992.
(E) Mr. Greenhill joined the Company in June 1993. In addition to the
restricted stock awarded under the CAP Plan (referred to in Footnote C
above), Mr. Greenhill received a restricted stock award pursuant to his
employment agreement. See "Employment Protection Agreements," below. Such
award covered 533,333 shares, with an aggregate year-end market price (at
$38.875 per share) of $20,733,320, and vests at a rate of 20% per year on
the anniversary of the date of grant.

STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED

The following table sets forth information with respect to stock options
granted during 1993 to each of the executives named in the Summary Compensation
Table. All options granted arose under the reload feature of the Option Plan
except for Mr. Dimon's grant covering 230,666 shares and Mr. Greenhill's grant
covering 1,333,333 shares. For Messrs. Weill, Lipp and Dimon (except as noted),
these reload options arose upon the excercise of reload options associated with
the stock options granted by Control Data Corporation ("Control Data Options")
in 1986 when it was the parent company of the Company's corporate predecessor
to facilitate the public offering of such subsidiary's stock.

The "Grant Date Present Value" numbers set forth in the table below were
derived by application of a variation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following assumptions were used in employing such model:

. stock price volatility was calculated by using the closing price
of the Company's Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Transactions
Tape for the one year period prior to the grant date of each option;

. the risk-free interest rate for each option grant was the closing
market yields on 5-year Treasury notes or 10-year Treasury bonds on
the date of grant, as reported by the Federal Reserve;

. the dividend yield on the date of the option grant (based upon the
actual dividend rate of either 12 cents per share during the first
two quarters of 1993 or 12.5 cents per share during the last two
quarters of 1993) was assumed to be constant over the life of the
option;

. exercise of the option was deemed to occur 3.75 years after the date
of grant, based upon the Company's historical experience of the
average period between the grant date and exercise date for those
options that have vested; and

. a discount of 9.375% was applied to the option value derived from the
model to reflect the nontransferability and risk of forfeiture of
such employee stock options during the average 3.75 years between
grant date and exercise date referred to in the preceding paragraph.

The potential value of options granted depends entirely upon a long-term
increase in the market price of the Common Stock: if the stock price does not
increase, the options would be worthless and if the stock price does increase,
this increase would benefit both option holders and all stockholders
commensurately. ALL SHARE NUMBERS IN COLUMN (B) AND EXERCISE PRICES IN COLUMN
(D) HAVE BEEN RESTATED TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO GIVE EFFECT TO THE TWO STOCK
DIVIDENDS DECLARED AND PAID DURING 1993.

(A) Ownership of Common Stock as of the Record Date for the named individuals--
Mr. Weill: 3,692,181 shares; Mr. Zarb: 403,024 shares; Mr. Lipp: 335,784
shares; Mr. Dimon: 399,158 shares; and Mr. Greenhill: 981,488 shares.

(B) The option price of each option granted under the Option Plan is not less
than the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option,
determined in good faith by the Committee. Under current rules established
by the Committee, fair market value is the closing sale price of Common
Stock on the NYSE Composite Transactions Tape on the last trading day prior
to the date of grant of the option. Options (other than certain reload
options) generally vest in cumulative installments of 20% on each
anniversary of the date of grant such that the options are fully
exercisable on and after five years from the date of grant until ten years
and one month following such grant (in the case of non-qualified stock
options, which represent all options currently outstanding). The Committee
has discretion to establish a slower vesting schedule for options granted
under the Option Plan.

Participants are entitled to direct the Company to withhold shares
otherwise issuable upon an option exercise to cover in whole or in part
the tax liability associated with such exercise, or participants may cover
such liability by surrendering previously owned shares (other than
restricted stock).

Under the reload feature of the Option Plan, participants who tender
previously owned shares (including CAP Plan restricted stock) to pay all
or a portion of the exercise price of vested stock options or tender
previously owned shares or have shares withheld to cover the associated
tax liability may be eligible to receive a reload option covering the same
number of shares as are tendered or withheld for such purposes. Such
optionee may choose to receive either (i) unrestricted incremental shares
(as defined below) and no reload option, or (ii) incremental shares subject
to a period of restriction on the ability to sell or otherwise transfer
such shares (except in certain circumstances) and a reload option to be
granted in accordance with the applicable terms of the Option Plan. The
initial Committee determination has set the restricted period at two years.
Although the optionee may not transfer his or her incremental shares during
the applicable restricted period, such optionee receives such shares free
and clear upon completion of such restricted period without any risk of
forfeiture, even if such person has retired or is otherwise no longer an
employee of the Company. Unless the Committee in its discretion modifies
or eliminates such restrictions, optionees are permitted to transfer their
incremental shares during the restricted period only under the limited
circumstances of (i) a contribution of such shares to a charitable
organization, or (ii) an event of financial hardship demonstrated to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources,
of the Company.

Further, in order for an optionee to receive a reload option in connection
with his or her exercise of a vested option, the market price of Common
Stock on the date of exercise must equal or exceed the minimum market price
level established by the Committee from time to time (the "Market Price
Requirement"). The Committee has established that the initial Market Price
Requirement shall be a market price on the date of exercise equal to or
greater than 120% of the option exercise price. If the market price does
not equal or exceed the applicable Market Price Requirement, a vested
option may be exercised but no reload option will be
granted in connection with such exercise.

(Footnotes continued on following page)

(Footnotes from preceding page)

"Incremental shares" are those shares of Common Stock actually issued to
an optionee who exercises an option by surrendering previously owned stock
or restricted stock awarded under the CAP Plan to pay the exercise price of
an option, or by surrendering previously owned stock or requesting the
Company to withhold the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable, to
cover the withholding tax liability associated with option exercise. The
number of incremental shares issued is typically the number of option
shares exercised minus the number of shares deemed "surrendered" to pay for
such exercise and minus the number of shares used or withheld to satisfy
any resulting tax liability in connection with such exercise.

The market value on the date of grant of a reload option establishes the
exercise price of such option, with one of the following sets of other
terms: (1) a term equal to the remaining term of the original option,
except that the reload option will not be exercisable until six months
after its date of grant, or (2) a term of ten years from the date of grant
of the reload option and vesting at the rate of 20% per year.

Reload options are designed to encourage employees to exercise options at
an earlier date and to retain the shares so acquired, in furtherance of
the Company's long-standing policy of encouraging increased employee stock
ownership. With standard stock options, sale of at least a portion of the
stock to be acquired by exercise is often necessitated to cover the
exercise price or the associated withholding tax liability. The employee
thereby receives fewer shares upon exercise, and also forgoes any future
appreciation in the stock sold. By use of previously owned shares to
exercise an option, the employee is permitted to gain from the past price
appreciation in such shares, and receives a new option at the current
market price. The reload option so granted enables the employee to
recognize future stock price appreciation.

STOCK OPTIONS EXERCISED

The following table sets forth, in the aggregate, the number of securities
underlying options exercised during 1993 and states the value at year-end of
exercisable and unexercisable options remaining outstanding. The "Value
Realized" column reflects the difference between the market price on the date of
exercise and the market price on the date of grant (which establishes the
exercise price for the option) for all options exercised, even though the
executive may have actually received fewer shares as a result of the surrender
of previously owned shares to pay the exercise price or the tax liability, or
the withholding of shares to cover the tax liability associated with option
exercise. Accordingly, the "Value Realized" numbers do not necessarily reflect
what the executive might receive, should he choose to sell the shares acquired
by the option exercise, since the market price of the shares so acquired may at
any time be higher or lower than the price on the exercise date of the option.

ALL SHARE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN RESTATED TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO GIVE EFFECT TO
THE TWO STOCK DIVIDENDS DECLARED AND PAID DURING 1993.

(A) All of the stock options exercised by Messrs. Weill, Lipp and Dimon in 1993 were reload options arising from
Control Data Option exercises. Stock options exercised by Mr. Zarb were either options granted under the old
Primerica Corporation (formerly American Can Company) Long-Term Incentive Plan or reload options associated
with their exercise.
(B) This column reflects the number of shares underlying options exercised in 1993 by the named executive
officers. The actual number of shares received by these individuals from options exercised in 1993 (net of
shares surrendered or withheld to cover the exercise price and tax liabilities) was--Mr. Weill: 671,798
shares; Mr. Zarb: 180,741 shares; Mr. Lipp: 50,683 shares; Mr. Dimon: 61,867 shares; and Mr. Greenhill: 0
shares.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following line graph compares annual changes in "Cumulative Total
Return" of the Company (as defined below) with (i) Cumulative Total Return of a
performance indicator of equity stocks in the overall stock market, the S&P 500
Index, and (ii) Cumulative Total Return of a "Peer Index," each for the last
five years. The Peer Index is the S&P Financial Index, which comprises the
following Standard & Poor's industry groups: Money Center Banks, Major Regional
Banks, Other Major Banks, Savings & Loan, Life Insurance, Multi-Line Insurance,
Property and Casualty Insurance, Personal Loans and Financial Services
(excluding the Company and both of the government-sponsored entities: the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage
Association). The Peer Index has been weighted based on market capitalization.
"Cumulative Total Return" is calculated (in accordance with SEC instructions) by
dividing (i) the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of dividends during the
relevant period, assuming dividend reinvestment at the end of the month in which
such dividends were paid, and (B) the difference between the market
capitalization at the end and the beginning of such period, by (ii) the market
capitalization at the beginning of such period.

The comparisons in this table are set forth in response to SEC disclosure
requirements, and therefore are not intended to forecast or be indicative of
future performance of the Common Stock.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Company's By-Laws, the members of the Board of Directors
are compensated in a manner and at a rate determined from time to time by the
Board of Directors. It has been the practice of the Company since its initial
public offering in 1986 to pay its outside directors in Common Stock, in order
to assure that the directors have an ownership interest in the Company in common
with other stockholders. Compensation of outside directors and designated
honorary directors of the Company currently consists of an annual retainer of
$75,000, payable in Common Stock. A director may elect to defer receipt of
compensation, in which case the annual retainer will be paid entirely in shares
of Common Stock. In the case of directors electing current receipt of
compensation, only such portion that

approximates the current tax liability incurred by the director in respect of
such compensation is paid in cash, and the balance in Common Stock.

Directors receive no additional compensation for participation on
committees of the Board. Additional compensation, if any, for special
assignments undertaken by directors will be determined on a case by case basis,
but no such additional compensation was paid to any director in 1993. Directors
who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries do not receive any
compensation for their services as directors.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Prior to January 1, 1994, executive officers and employees generally were
eligible to participate in The Travelers Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement
Plan") during their first year of service. Effective January 1, 1994,
eligibility begins on the later of attaining age 21 or completion of one year of
service. Benefits under the Retirement Plan vest after five years of service
with the Company or its subsidiaries. The normal form of retirement benefit is,
in the case of a married participant, a joint and survivor annuity payable over
the life of the participant and his or her spouse, or in the case of an
unmarried participant, an annuity payable over the participant's life. Instead
of such normal form of payment, participants may elect to receive other types of
annuities or a single sum payable at retirement or other termination of service.

When expressed as a single sum payment option, benefits accrue for the
first five years of covered service at an annual rate varying between .75% and
4.0% of the participant's qualifying compensation, depending upon the
participant's age at the time of accrual. "Qualifying compensation" generally
includes base salary (before pre-tax contributions to the Savings Plan or other
benefit plans), overtime pay, commissions and bonuses. Under rules promulgated
by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"), a ceiling of $235,840 for 1993
(which will be adjusted annually) is imposed on the amount of compensation that
may be considered "qualifying compensation" under the Retirement Plan.
Legislation adopted in 1993 capped annual qualifying compensation beginning in
1994 at $150,000 (subject to annual adjustment).

During the period of the sixth through the fifteenth year of covered
service, benefits accrue at an annual rate of between 1.25% and 5.0% of the
participant's qualifying compensation, depending upon the participant's age at
the time of accrual. After a participant has completed 15 years of covered
service, benefits accrue at an annual rate varying between 1.25% and 7.0% of the
participant's qualifying compensation, depending upon the participant's age at
the time of accrual. There are also minimum benefits provided for under the
Retirement Plan.

Subject to the statutory maximum benefits payable by a qualified plan (as
described below), a participant also accrues annually an additional amount
calculated as 1.0% to 2.5% of qualifying compensation (again depending upon his
or her age) for that part of qualifying compensation in excess of the amount of
the Social Security wage base. There is an interest accrual added to the
participant's single sum entitlement. This interest amount is determined by
multiplying the prior year's single sum by a percentage determined annually by
the Company.

The Retirement Plan contains transitional provisions for employees who meet
certain age and service requirements. Employees who by January 1, 1990 either
had reached age 63, or had reached the age of 55 and had more than 20 years of
service, are eligible to retire under the provisions of the plans applicable to
them prior to the effective date of the establishment of the Retirement Plan.

The statutory maximum retirement benefit that may be paid to any one
individual by a tax qualified defined benefit pension plan in 1993 is $112,221
annually. Years of service credited under the Retirement Plan to date for each
of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table are as

follows: Mr. Weill, 7 years; Mr. Zarb, 5 years; Mr. Lipp, 7 years; Mr. Dimon, 7
years; and Mr. Greenhill, 0.

The Company and certain Company subsidiaries provide certain pension
benefits, in addition to the statutory maximum benefit payable under tax
qualified pension plans, under non-funded, non-qualified retirement benefit
equalization plans ("RBEPs"). The benefits payable under RBEPs are unfunded, and
will come from the general assets of each plan's sponsor. In 1993, the Committee
amended the RBEPs in two respects: first, to exclude certain executives of the
Company and its subsidiaries (including each of the persons named in the Summary
Compensation Table) and employees of certain subsidiaries from further
participation in the RBEPs, and second, to limit the compensation covered by
such plans to a fixed amount of $300,000 (equal to twice the 1994 statutory
maximum qualifying compensation without giving effect to any future adjustments)
less amounts covered by the Retirement Plan, thereby limiting benefits payable
under the RBEPs to all participants. Benefits were accrued through the end of
1993 under one such RBEP for the account of each of the persons named in the
Summary Compensation Table other than Mr. Zarb and Mr. Greenhill.

Effective at the end of 1993, the Committee also froze benefits payable
under the Company's Supplemental Retirement Plan ("SERP") covering supplemental
retirement benefits to designated senior executives of the Company and its
subsidiaries. At that time, 24 individuals were SERP participants, including
each of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table. The maximum
benefit payable under SERP is also reduced by any benefits payable under the
Retirement Plan (or its predecessor plans, if applicable), under any applicable
RBEP, under any other Company or subsidiary sponsored qualified or non-qualified
defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan (other than the Savings
Plan or other 401(k) plans), and under the Social Security benefit program.

Estimated annual benefits under the three benefit plans of the Company for
the five executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table using the
applicable formulas under the Retirement Plan and the frozen RBEP and SERP Plans
and assuming their retirement at age 65, would be as follows: Mr.
Weill--$619,511; Mr. Zarb--$382,652; Mr. Lipp--$295,851; Mr. Dimon--$256,471;
and Mr. Greenhill--$134,558. These estimates were calculated assuming that the
interest accrual was 8% for 1989 through 1991, and 6% for 1992 and thereafter
until the participant retires at the age of 65, and that the current salary of
the participant, the 1994 dollar ceiling on qualifying compensation (which was
set by legislation adopted in 1993 at $150,000 annually), the 1993 Social
Security wage base and the current regulatory formula to convert lump-sum
payments to annual annuity figures each remains unchanged.

EMPLOYMENT PROTECTION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into employment protection agreements with certain
of its executive officers. Under the agreement with Mr. Weill, the Company
agrees to employ Mr. Weill as its Chief Executive Officer (and Mr. Weill agrees
to serve in such capacity) with an annual salary, incentive participation and
employee benefits as determined from time to time by the Company's Board of
Directors. The agreement contains automatic one-year renewals (unless notice of
nonrenewal is given by either party). In the event of his termination of
employment without cause, Mr. Weill will be deemed to be vested in the Company's
Retirement Plan, and the agreement further provides that Mr. Weill will be paid
and entitled to receive other employee benefits (as in effect at the termination
date) through the remaining term of the agreement and will be entitled to two
years additional vesting and exercise of his stock options (and a cash payment
based on the value of any portion of the stock options that would not vest
within such additional period). During such period of continuing payments and
stock option vesting and exercise, Mr. Weill would be subject to a
noncompetition agreement in favor of the Company.

The Company has agreed with Mr. Zarb that he will be employed by the
Company as a Vice Chairman and Group Chief Executive for a one-year term with
automatic one-year renewals (unless

notice of nonrenewal is given by either party). Mr. Zarb is to receive a minimum
annual salary and participate in incentive and employee benefit programs offered
to senior executives. In the event that Mr. Zarb is terminated without cause, he
will be deemed to be vested in the Company's Retirement Plan (with credit based
upon a normal retirement age), will be deemed vested in the options granted to
him pursuant to the agreement, and will have an additional 24 months in which to
exercise any such options outstanding on the date of termination. Mr. Zarb would
be subject to a noncompetition agreement in favor of the Company during any
period of continuing payments or vesting and exercise.

Mr. Greenhill entered into an employment agreement dated June 24, 1993
under which he agreed to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of SBS. The agreement, as amended to date, has a term of seven years
and provides for annual compensation based upon a percentage of the
consolidated after-tax earnings of SBS and its subsidiaries, and certain
designated Company subsidiaries. As noted in Item 4, below, Mr. Greenhill has
agreed to terminate the compensation calculation provisions of his agreement to
permit operation of the terms of the Compensation Plan. Under the agreement, Mr.
Greenhill was granted an option to purchase 1,333,333 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an option price of the then-current market price of $34.50 per
share (all share numbers and prices in this paragraph have been restated for the
subsequent stock split in August 1993). The option has a ten year life and vests
at a rate of 20% per year on the anniversary date of the grant. If Mr.
Greenhill's employment is terminated because of his death or disability, by SBS
without cause (as defined in the agreement), by Mr. Greenhill if SBS is in
material breach of the agreement, or at the end of the term of the agreement,
that portion of the option that was exercisable on or within two years after the
termination date will remain exercisable during such two-year period, and Mr.
Greenhill shall be entitled to receive a cash payment for the shares covered by
the unexercisable portion of the option. Mr. Greenhill also received a grant of
533,333 shares of restricted stock, vesting at a rate of 20% per year on the
anniversary of the grant date. If Mr. Greenhill's employment terminates under
the circumstances described above, the restricted stock grant will also be
subject to continued vesting during the two-year period following such
termination, and Mr. Greenhill will be entitled to a cash payment with respect
to unvested shares. Upon entering into the agreement, Mr. Greenhill also
purchased from the Company 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the
then-current market price, and acquired certain registration rights with respect
to such shares. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Greenhill
is entitled to be reimbursed for use of personal aircraft for company business
at an arms' length rate charged for air charter by an unaffiliated third party.
During 1993, such reimbursements to two aircraft companies of which Mr.
Greenhill is sole stockholder totalled approximately $115,000. Mr. Greenhill is
entitled to receive compensation payments calculated for various circumstances
under which his employment may terminate. During any period after termination in
which he receives compensation under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Greenhill
will be subject to a prohibition on hiring certain former employees of SBS
and its subsidiaries.

CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

Certain executive officers have from time to time, including periods during
1993, incurred indebtedness to SBS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and
a registered broker-dealer, on margin loans against securities accounts with
SBS. Such margin loans were made in the ordinary course of SBS's business, were
made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral)
as those prevailing for comparable transactions for other persons, and did not
involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable
features.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Each of Richard H. Booth, Edward H. Budd and Robert W. Crispin, current
members of the Board of Directors of the Company and employees of The Travelers
Insurance Group Inc., one of the Company's subsidiaries ("TIG"), entered into
employment agreements with TIG in December 1993

with respect to their continuing involvement in the Travelers Insurance
Operations. Mr. Booth's agreement provides that he will serve as President of
TIG for a term of three years. TIG agreed to continue to pay the base salary in
effect on the date of the agreement, and to provide continuing participation in
the benefit plans and other arrangements generally available to senior
executives of TIG. In the event of termination of employment without cause
(or resignation following a reduction in base salary) prior to the term of the
agreement, Mr. Booth would be entitled to continued payment of base salary over
the remaining term of the agreement (together with, if such termination occurs
prior to December 31, 1994, payment of a bonus for 1994 equal to that for 1993),
executive outplacement services, reimbursement of certain tax and other
financial planning services expenses and continued participation in employee
medical plans for one year following the termination. In the event of a
resignation prior to the first anniversary of the contract, Mr. Booth would be
entitled to payment of one year's base salary and continued participation for
one year in employee medical plans. Mr. Budd agreed to serve as Chairman of
TIG at his current salary, including continued eligibility for annual bonuses
and other benefits on the same terms and conditions as senior executive
officers. He was also granted new options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company and an award under the CAP Plan of an aggregate of 40,000
shares of Common Stock. If his employment terminates, Mr. Budd will be
entitled to an amount equivalent to the severance payments and will also
receive other benefits payable under the old Travelers severance plan. Mr.
Budd is also entitled to receive retirement benefits under the old Travelers'
qualified and non-qualified retirement plans for service since 1955 as an
employee of old Travelers and as a director and chief executive
officer of old Travelers with service credit to age 65. Such agreement also
reflects Mr. Budd's entitlement to participate in the welfare, benefit and other
plans of old Travelers assumed by the Company. Robert W. Crispin agreed to serve
as Vice Chairman of TIG for a period of three years on terms substantially
similar to those in Mr. Booth's agreement, but with additional service credit
for vesting and benefit determination under the old Travelers retirement plan,
and in the event of a resignation prior to the first anniversary of the
contract, Mr. Crispin would be entitled to payment of an amount relating to
certain unvested stock options (estimated at not more than approximately
$665,000).

ITEM 2:
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has selected KPMG Peat Marwick ("Peat Marwick") as
the independent auditors of the Company for 1994. Peat Marwick has served as the
independent auditors of the Company and its predecessors since 1969.
Arrangements have been made for a representative of Peat Marwick to attend the
Annual Meeting. The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement
if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate
stockholder questions.

RECOMMENDATION

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR RATIFICATION
OF THE SELECTION OF KPMG PEAT MARWICK AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR
1994. Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock present and entitled to vote on this item at the Annual Meeting, voting
as a single class, is required to ratify the selection of the Company's
auditors. Under applicable Delaware law, in determining whether this item has
received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions and broker
non-votes will be counted and will have the same effect as a vote against this
item.

ITEM 3:
APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE TRAVELERS INC.
EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Company seeks stockholder approval of The Travelers Inc. Employee
Discount Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") because the Code requires such
approval for any plan that is intended to constitute an "employee stock purchase
plan" under Section 423 of the Code. The Board of Directors adopted the Plan on
October 27, 1993 and recommended that it be submitted to the stockholders of the
Company for approval. If the stockholders approve the Plan at the Annual
Meeting, the Plan will become effective retroactively to January 1, 1994.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide a method for eligible employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire a proprietary interest in the
Company through the purchase of shares of Common Stock from the Company at a
discount from fair market value, by means of voluntary payroll deductions of an
amount up to $100 per month. A total of 750,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalization and other corporate restructuring) has been authorized for
issuance under the Plan. The full text of the Plan, as approved and
adopted by the Board of Directors, is set forth in Annex A to this proxy
statement, and the following description of the Plan is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the text of the Plan.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General. The committee generally composed of Company employees that
administers the Plan (the "Plan Committee") will periodically make available to
eligible employees who elect to participate in the Plan (the "Participants") a
maximum number of shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock for a specified period
in an "Offering." Eligible employees will be able to purchase Common Stock
during an Offering at a price less than the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of purchase, from funds accumulated through payroll deductions
beginning on the effective date of each such Offering (the "Effective Date").
The current discount from market value has been set at 10%. The maximum number
of Shares that each Participant may purchase under each Offering will be
determined by the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of the Company (the
"Vice President") by dividing the aggregate number of Shares available for
purchase during such Offering by the number of Participants. The right of an
eligible employee to purchase Shares in any Offering is referred to as an
"Option."

Shares purchased under the Plan will be held for each Participant's account
("Account") on the records of an agent for the Plan (the "Plan Agent"). The
Company will, upon the request of a Participant, not more often than once during
any calendar year, deliver a certificate to such Participant representing all or
a portion of his or her full Shares, provided that such Shares have been held in
such Participant's Account for at least the holding period provided for under
the Plan (which shall be determined for each Offering by the Vice President in
his or her discretion) (the "Minimum Holding Period"). The current Minimum
Holding Period is 12 months.

Eligibility. The Plan is open to each person who is determined by the Vice
President to be a "full-time" employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries
(as defined in the Plan) but excluding (i) any employee who is a "highly
compensated employee" (as that term is defined in Section 414(q) of the Code),
or (ii) any employee who after the grant of an Option would own stock possessing
5% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any employee who has been
designated by the Board of Directors of the Company as a person subject to the
reporting and short-swing profit liability provisions of Section 16 of the
Exchange Act. For the purposes of the Plan, a full-time employee is one whose
customary employment is for more than 20 hours per week and more than five
months in any calendar year. As of December 31, 1993, under such definition,
approximately 22,600 persons were eligible to participate in the Plan.

The Plan is designed to be unavailable to any executive officers of the
Company (including the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table) and
any non-employee directors of the Company. The group of eligible employees may,
however, include non-executive officers of the Company and any of its
participating subsidiaries. Since participation by any eligible employee is
elective, it is not possible to predict the benefits that may accrue to any
individual or group of individuals under the Plan.

Administration. The Plan is administered by the Plan Committee which has
responsibility for general operation of the Plan and has the power to interpret
provisions of the Plan. The Vice President will designate the maximum number of
Shares available for purchase by Participants in an Offering.
26

The Vice President may also in his or her discretion increase or decrease the
Minimum Holding Period from time to time. In addition, the Vice President will
establish the terms of each Offering and Option, and will determine the persons
eligible to participate in each such Offering, subject in each case to the terms
of the Plan.

Participation. After a Participant's enrollment in the Plan becomes
effective, the amount to be deducted from a Participant's payroll check for a
given pay period will be deducted and allocated to such Participant's Account
under the Plan. Following the closing of enrollment for any Offering, the
maximum number of Shares that each Participant may purchase under such
Offering will be established.

On the last business day of an Offering for which payroll deductions will
be made (the "Expiration Date"), each Participant will be deemed automatically
to have exercised the Option granted to him or her, and all of the funds
accumulated in such Participant's Account from payroll deductions will be
applied to the purchase from the Company of the largest possible number of whole
Shares. Fractional Shares will be allocated to a Participant's Account but will
not be issued at any time. If the funds in a Participant's Account are
insufficient to purchase all of the Shares comprising the Option, such
Participant's Option with respect to such excess Shares will be deemed to have
lapsed. The Shares purchased under the Plan may consist of newly-issued, or
previously issued and reacquired, shares of Common Stock, or both.

The purchase price of each Share purchased under the Plan will be an amount
equal to a percentage determined by the Vice President (the "Discount
Percentage") multiplied by the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on
the Expiration Date, or (ii) the average of the Fair Market Values determined on
the last trading day of each of the months covered by the Offering. "Fair Market
Value" is defined as the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the
determination, as reported on the NYSE Composite Transactions Tape. The Code
requires that the purchase price will in no event ever be less than 85% of the
lesser of the Fair Market Value on the Effective Date or the Fair Market Value
on the Expiration Date. The initial Discount Percentage under the Plan has
been set at 90%.

Shares will be held in custody for the Account of each Participant. Once
during each calendar year, a Participant may obtain a stock certificate
representing Shares held in his or her Account by sending a written request
therefor to the Plan Committee. Except in certain limited circumstances as more
fully described below, Participants will not be able to withdraw Shares as to
which the Minimum Holding Period has not expired. A Participant will possess all
the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to all of
the Shares held in his or her Account under the Plan, including the right to
direct the vote with respect to such Shares, and will receive all distributions
(other than cash dividends which will be reinvested) and stockholder
communications with respect to such Shares. A Participant will not be able to
pledge, transfer or sell such shares until they are issued to the Participant in
certificate form after satisfaction of the Minimum Holding Period. Withdrawals
of Shares prior to the end of the applicable Minimum Holding Period will be
permitted only for the purpose of (i) charitable contributions of such Shares,
or (ii) financial Hardship, demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Plan Committee and in accordance with the "Hardship" definition in the Plan. No
fractional shares will be issued under the Plan.

No interest will be payable on amounts held in Accounts, and the proceeds
received by the Company upon exercise of Options under the Plan will constitute
general funds of the Company. An Option granted under the Plan will not be
transferable and will be exercisable only by the Participant to whom it is
granted.

Each calendar quarter, the Plan Agent will send each Participant a
statement of such Participant's Account that will include Plan information to
the extent required by the Code.

Dividends. Cash dividends paid on all Shares held under the Plan on the
record date on behalf of each Participant will be invested promptly in shares of
Common Stock at the full Fair Market Value on such date, and the resulting
shares or fractional shares will be allocated to each Participant's Account
under the Plan.

Withdrawal. A Participant may stop participating in the Plan at any time by
suspending payroll deductions entirely but partial withdrawals will not be
permitted. Upon a withdrawal, the balance of cash in such Participant's Account
will be forwarded to the employee by the Plan Agent. Shares held in a
Participant's Account shall remain in the custody of the Plan Committee and may
be issued in certificate form to the Participant after the expiration of the
applicable Minimum Holding Periods and the taking of the appropriate steps by
the Participant to request the issuance of such certificates. After terminating
his or her participation in an Offering, such employee may not re-enroll in such
Offering or in the next succeeding Offering but may enroll in any other future
Offerings for which such employee is eligible under the Plan by following the
procedures for enrollment.

Expenses. Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the administration
of the Plan will be paid by the Company.

Amendments to and Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board of Directors of the
Company or the Vice President may suspend or terminate the Plan, or amend or
modify the terms of the Plan at any time except that (i) no amendment shall
cause any Option to fail to qualify as a stock purchase option under Section
423 of the Code; (ii) stockholder approval is required for any amendment that
would increase the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the
Plan (other than pursuant to provisions of the Plan relating to adjustments in
the event of stock splits, stock dividends, mergers and other changes in the
capitalization of the Company), and (iii) no termination or amendment of the
Plan may adversely affect the rights of a Participant under an Option
outstanding at the time of such termination or amendment without the consent of
such Participant.

Stockholder Approval; Effectiveness. The Plan will be effective as of
January 1, 1994, subject to receipt of stockholder approval within 12 months
after its adoption by the Board of Directors. If the stockholders of the Company
do not approve the Plan at the Annual Meeting, the Plan will terminate, the
unexercised portions of all Options granted prior to the Annual Meeting will be
rendered null and void and any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan will
be cancelled. In that event, the Company will return to the Participants,
without interest, all funds obtained from such Participants through payroll
deductions.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Amounts deducted from a Participant's payroll check under the Plan continue
to be taxable income to the Participant in the year such amounts are earned.
Such income would be subject to taxation to the same extent (Federal, state, and
local) as other compensation income received by the Participant. Participants
will not recognize additional taxable income either (i) at the time an Option is
granted pursuant to the Plan, or (ii) at the time an Option is exercised under
the Plan.

The tax basis of Shares purchased under the Plan will be the price at which
they are purchased by the Plan Committee for the Accounts of the Participants.
The Participant's Minimum Holding Period for a Share will begin on the date the
Share is purchased and credited to such Participant's Account. A Participant
will not realize any taxable income when he or she receives a certificate
representing full
28

Shares withdrawn from his or her Plan Account, either upon his or her request
for withdrawal of Shares or upon complete withdrawal from or termination of the
Plan.

A Participant who purchases Shares pursuant to an Option under the Plan and
disposes (by sale or exchange) of such Shares more than two years after the
Option is granted and more than one year after the Option is exercised, or who
dies at any time while holding the Shares, will recognize ordinary income at the
time of disposition or death in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of the disposition or
death over the purchase price paid for the Shares, or (ii) the excess of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time the Option was granted over the
purchase price that would have been paid had such price been calculated by
multiplying the Discount Percentage by the Fair Market Value determined on the
Effective Date. The Participant's basis in the Shares disposed of will be
increased by the amount of ordinary income recognized. Any further gain
recognized on the disposition will be taxed as long-term capital gain.

A Participant who purchases Shares pursuant to an Option under the Plan and
disposes of such Shares less than two years after the Option is granted or less
than one year after the Option is exercised will recognize ordinary income at
the time of disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of exercise of the Option over the purchase
price paid for such Shares. Any additional gain or loss recognized by the
Participant on the disposition will be short-term or long-term capital gain or
loss, depending on the Participant's holding period for the Shares transferred.

PARTICIPANTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE
THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY RESULT FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN
AND THE SUBSEQUENT DISPOSAL OF SHARES PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN. NOTHING
CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE TREATED AS TAX ADVICE.

The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code.

RECOMMENDATION

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL AND
ADOPTION OF THE TRAVELERS INC. EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. Assuming
the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast
by the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock present
and entitled to vote on this item at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single
class, is required to approve and adopt the Plan. Under applicable Delaware law,
in determining whether this item has received the requisite number of
affirmative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted and will
have the same effect as a vote against this item.

ITEM 4:
APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE TRAVELERS INC.
EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION PLAN

On February 25, 1994, the Committee adopted the Compensation Plan and
recommended that it be submitted to stockholders for approval at the Annual
Meeting. The Compensation Plan establishes certain performance criteria for
determining the maximum amount of bonus compensation available under the
Compensation Plan, including that portion of bonuses payable in the form of
restricted stock under the Company's CAP Plan, for those executive officers who,
on the last day of the Company's taxable year, consist of the chief executive
officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers of the
Company or its subsidiaries named in the Summary Compensation Table in the
29

Company's proxy statement from time to time (the "Covered Employees"). The
performance criteria under the Compensation Plan will generally be based upon
overall Company performance for those executives whose responsibilities are
principally company-wide, and specific subsidiary or segment performance for
those executives whose principal responsibilities relate to particular
subsidiaries or segments, as determined by the Committee from time to time.
Bonuses based upon the formulas established under the Compensation Plan may be
subject to significant variations from year to year, given the potential
volatility of certain of the financial services businesses in which the Company
engages.

The Compensation Plan is intended to address certain limitations on the
deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, as
amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "Revenue Act").
The Revenue Act limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1
million per year paid by a publicly traded corporation to Covered Employees.
Certain types of compensation may be excluded from the limitations on
deductibility, including compensation that qualifies as "performance-based
compensation."

The Service in its proposed regulations under Section 162(m) has indicated
that four tests must be met to qualify as performance-based compensation.
Compensation will not be subject to the deduction limit if (i) it is payable on
account of the attainment of one or more performance goals; (ii) the performance
goals are established by a compensation committee of the board of directors that
comprises solely two or more outside directors; (iii) the material terms of the
compensation and the performance goals are disclosed to and approved by
stockholders before payment; and (iv) the compensation committee certifies that
the performance goals have been satisfied before payment. In an effort to comply
with the provisions of the Revenue Act and to qualify the compensation payable
to Covered Employees under the Compensation Plan (and the related restricted
stock awards under the CAP Plan) as performance-based compensation, eligible for
exclusion from the deduction limit, the Compensation Plan is being submitted to
stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. The full text of the
Compensation Plan is set forth in Annex B to this proxy statement, and the
following description of the Compensation Plan is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the text of such Plan.

The Compensation Plan establishes performance goals for the award of
bonuses to each of the Covered Employees, who are expected to be the executive
officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. The Compensation Plan sets
forth performance-based criteria based on the consolidated net income of the
Company and its subsidiaries for the four Covered Employees other than Mr.
Greenhill (the "Four Covered Employees"), each of whom, as an executive officer,
has wide ranging responsibilities for the Company's overall performance. Mr.
Greenhill's performance criteria are based principally upon the results of SBS,
the corporate entity under his direction as President, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer pursuant to a written agreement described under "Executive
Compensation--Employment Protection Agreements," above.

The creation of a bonus pool in which the Four Covered Employees will
participate is contingent upon the Company achieving at least a certain minimum
return on common equity ("Return on Equity"). Return on Equity levels will be
determined by dividing (i) the consolidated net income of the Company for the
Bonus Year (as defined below) subject to certain adjustments described below
(the "Adjusted Net Income"), by (ii) the common stockholders' equity of the
Company reported at the beginning of the Bonus Year ("Stockholders' Equity").
The Return on Equity calculation will not take into account the payment of the
bonuses determined thereunder.

The starting point for determination of Adjusted Net Income will be "Net
Income," the consolidated net income figure disclosed on the Consolidated
Statement of Income in the Company's Annual Report for the relevant Bonus Year.
In determining "Adjusted Net Income," Net Income will be
30

reduced by dividends on the Company's preferred stock and will be adjusted by
the exclusion of the after-tax earnings impact of certain items to the extent
they are applicable in a given Bonus Year. The Compensation Plan lists the
excluded items as:

. realized investment gains and losses (including those resulting from
sale of subsidiaries and affiliates);

. the cumulative effect to the beginning of the year of changes in
accounting principles mandated by any governing body that sets
accounting standards applicable to the determination of net income;

. the cumulative effect to the beginning of the year of changes in tax
law; and

. extraordinary items, as defined under generally accepted accounting
principles. Extraordinary items would not include such items as
catastrophic insurance losses or restructuring charges.

The term "Bonus Year" shall mean the period for which the calculation of a
bonus award is to be made. The audited financial statements will serve as the
basis of such a calculation and the "Bonus Year" would in each case correspond
to a calendar year. "Stockholders' Equity" will equal the beginning common
stockholders' equity number appearing on the Company's Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Stockholders' Equity for the Bonus Year.

If Return on Equity is less than 10%, no bonus pool will be created. If a
Return on Equity of 10% is achieved, a bonus pool equal to 1.4% of Adjusted Net
Income will be established. The amount of the bonus pool will be subject to
cumulative increases based upon the extent to which the Return on Equity exceeds
the 10% minimum threshold. If the Return on Equity is greater than 10% but not
more than 12.5%, the bonus pool will be increased by the addition of 2.4% of the
amount by which Adjusted Net Income exceeds 10% of Stockholders' Equity. If the
Return on Equity is greater than 12.5% but not more than 15%, the bonus pool
will be increased by the addition of 3.4% of the amount by which Adjusted Net
Income exceeds 12.5% of Stockholders' Equity. If the Return on Equity exceeds
15%, the bonus pool will be increased by the addition of 3.8% of the amount by
which Adjusted Net Income exceeds 15% of Stockholders' Equity. Accordingly, the
Return on Equity calculation established under the Compensation Plan will be
the basis on which both the availability and size of the bonus pool is
determined.

The Compensation Plan also establishes for each of the Four Covered
Employees their maximum percentage share in any bonus pool that may be
established under the formula, as follows: Mr. Weill: 31%; Mr. Dimon: 23%; Mr.
Lipp: 23%; and Mr. Zarb: 23%. Any portion (up to $3 million) of a share of the
bonus pool calculated for any of the Four Covered Employees for a particular
Bonus Year may be awarded by the Committee to such Covered Employee in a
succeeding year to the extent not awarded for the Bonus Year; provided
that such award by the Committee will only be made to reward extraordinary
performance by any such Covered Employee.

Because earnings may be subject to significant business fluctuations, and
because of the fundamental change in the composition of the Company effected in
1993 by the acquisition of the retail and asset management businesses of
Shearson Lehman and the old Travelers businesses, the hypothetical amounts that
individuals could have received had the Compensation Plan been in place in 1993
should not be seen as accurate predictions of any future payments, should the
Compensation Plan be implemented. Furthermore, with the acquisition of old
Travelers in exchange for shares of Common Stock of the Company, the historical
return on equity results are not necessarily an appropriate indication of future
results, since old Travelers has historically had a lower rate of return than
the
31

Company, and the Stockholder's Equity of the Company has increased by more
than $3
billion as a result of the old Travelers acquisition. Nevertheless, had the
Compensation Plan been in place in 1993, the maximum bonus pool would have
consisted of $19.9 million, subject to reduction by the Committee in its
discretion under the Compensation Plan, and the maximum bonus amounts applicable
to the Four Covered Employees who would have been subject to the terms of the
Compensation Plan would have been: Mr. Weill, $6.3 million; and to each of
Messrs. Dimon, Lipp and Zarb, $4.7 million, each amount subject to reduction by
the Committee in its discretion under the Compensation Plan. Bonuses actually
awarded in the past three years to the individuals named in the Summary
Compensation Table are set forth in such Table, above.

In the event that any of the Four Covered Employees does not qualify as a
Covered Employee for a particular Bonus Year (e.g., due to a termination of
employment), the percentage share of the bonus pool otherwise allocable to such
person shall be allocated to the executive officer who replaces him or her as a
Covered Employee for such year. In the event that an individual (other than Mr.
Greenhill) is added to the Four Covered Employees, the calculation of the bonus
pool will be made as if there were four Covered Employees and the bonus pool
will then be increased by the dollar amount allocated to any one of the Four
Covered Employees (other than the chief executive officer) for such Bonus Year.
Such increase will represent the maximum share allocated to such new Covered
Employee. In the event one of the Four Covered Employees, or his or her
replacement, becomes the chief executive officer of the Company, such Covered
Employee shall be allocated the percentage share allocated to the chief
executive officer.

Robert F. Greenhill entered into an employment agreement with SBS in June
1993, when he became a director of the Company and President, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of SBS. See "Executive Compensation--Employment Protection
Agreements," above, for a description of Mr. Greenhill's agreement. In order to
assist the Company in preserving the corporate tax deduction associated with his
bonus payment, Mr. Greenhill has agreed, upon the mailing of this proxy
statement, to terminate the compensation provisions of the contract entered into
in June 1993 and to enter into a revised compensation arrangement that will
provide him with a base salary of $995,000 per annum, with his bonus
compensation being established under the Compensation Plan. Accordingly, the
Compensation Plan provisions applicable to Mr. Greenhill contemplate that Mr.
Greenhill will not be entitled to a bonus unless the "Defined After-Tax
Earnings" for a Bonus Year exceed $100,000,000. For this purpose, "Defined
After-Tax Earnings" for any fiscal year shall mean the aggregate of (i) the
consolidated after-tax net income of SBS Holdings and its subsidiaries and (ii)
the after-tax net income of those Company subsidiaries designated in his
employment agreement, in each case as reflected on its audited financial
statements for such year, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied and certified by independent public
accountants. Furthermore, if Defined After-Tax Earnings exceed $100 million,
Mr. Greenhill will be entitled to receive 2% of Defined After-Tax Earnings from
$49,750,000 up to and including $750 million, 1.5% of Defined After-Tax Earnings
in excess of $750 million up to but not exceeding $1 billion, and 1% of Defined
After-Tax Earnings in excess of $1 billion. The Compensation Plan further
provides for adjustments in the calculation of Defined After-Tax Earnings for
periods of less than a full fiscal year. Had the Compensation Plan
been in place in 1993, and had Mr. Greenhill been employed by SBS for the
entire year,
Mr. Greenhill would have been entitled to a bonus payment of $4.9 million.
Because earnings may be subject to significant business fluctuations, such
hypothetical amount should not be seen as an accurate prediction of any future
payments. The bonus received by Mr. Greenhill for the portion of the 1993
calendar year that he was employed by SBS is shown in the Summary Compensation
Table, above.

The Return on Equity calculation applicable to the Four Covered Employees
and the Defined After-Tax Earnings calculation for Mr. Greenhill represent what
the Company believes to be performance-based compensation in accordance with the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. If the

applicable minimum performance-based requirement is not met, no bonus payments
will be made under the Compensation Plan to the Four Covered Employees or to Mr.
Greenhill. In the event that bonus compensation thresholds are met and the
percentages set forth in the Compensation Plan are applied, the Committee
nevertheless retains discretion to reduce or eliminate payments under the
Compensation Plan for any of the Four Covered Employees to take into account
subjective factors, including an individual's performance or other relevant
criteria.

The Compensation Plan also provides that, if permitted under Section 162(m)
of the Code, payments may be made before year-end based upon estimates of the
applicable performance goals, as certified by the Committee, for the relevant
bonus year, or, alternatively, the Committee may pay all or a portion of bonus
compensation before the end of a calendar year by setting a measurement period
other than the calendar year for determining the bonus pool, if the Committee
concludes that all or a portion of bonus compensation should be paid before the
end of that calendar year. Any such change to the measurement period will be
made before the new measurement period begins. In such event, all
determinations will be based upon the books and records of the Company for
the applicable performance goal measurement period. The bonus year will, in
any event, continue to be the calendar year.

In the event that subsequent guidance provided by the Service under Section
162(m) is substantially different from the proposed regulations, with the effect
that the Compensation Plan fails to ensure the deductibility of compensation
payable thereunder, the Committee retains the right to modify the Compensation
Plan for the Four Covered Employees to the extent necessary to conform any
provisions to bring them into compliance, including but not limited to
deletion of any non-conforming provisions, or to discontinue the Compensation
Plan and determine that it shall be of no effect, notwithstanding the receipt
of stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The Plan will take effect as
of January 1, 1994, subject to receipt of stockholder approval. If the
Compensation Plan is not approved by stockholders, it will not have any
effect.

SECTION 7.1 Except as provided in subparagraphs (a) and (e) of this Section
7.1, all eligible Employees shall have the same rights and privileges.

(a) NUMBER OF SHARES: Each Offering shall specify the maximum number of
shares available under such Offering and the method of determining
the maximum number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to any
Offering by each Participant, subject to any stated maximum number
of shares that may be specified by the Committee and to the
limitations of subparagraph (e) of this Section 7.1. Notice that the

lesser of (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value per
share of Stock on the Expiration Date or (b) eighty-five percent
(85%) of the fair market value per share of Stock on the date the
Option is granted. The fair market value per share of Stock shall be
the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Tape for the date on which such value is being determined, provided,
however, that if any such date is not a stock trading date, then

Offering ever be less than the par value per share of Stock.

(c) MEDIUM AND TIME PAYMENT: Payment for Shares purchased by any
Participant pursuant to an Offering shall be effected from funds
accumulated through payroll deductions from the salary or wages paid
to the Participant by the Company, or as otherwise permitted by the
Committee, under rules of uniform application over the time period
specified in such Offering.

shall be specified in such Offering, but in no event shall the
Expiration Date of any Offering be more than twenty-seven (27)
months after the Effective Date of such Offering.

all existing employee stock purchase plans, as defined in Section
423 of the Code, accruing at a rate which exceeds at any time
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) of the fair market value of
the Stock (determined at the time such Option is granted) during any
calendar year in which such Option is outstanding. For the purpose
of this subparagraph (e),

(i) an Option accrues when the Option (or any portion thereof) first
becomes exercisable during any calendar year;

(ii) an Option accrues at the rate provided in the applicable
Offering, but in no case may such rate for any employee exceed
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) of the fair market value
of the Stock determined at the time the Option is granted for
any one calendar year;

(iii) an Option that has accrued under any one Offering may not be
carried over by a Participant to any other Offering; and

employee stock purchase plan which complies with Section 423 of
the Code shall be taken into account for purposes of this
subparagraph (e).

(f) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS: An Option shall not be transferable
by the Employee to whom it has been granted otherwise than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable,
during his lifetime, only by him. However, in the discretion of the
Committee, the terms of any Offering may prohibit transfer under any
circumstances and provide for cancellation of the unexercised
portion of any Option upon the death of a Participant.

(g) REQUIREMENTS OF LAW: This Plan and the issuance of any Stock
hereunder is conditioned upon the approval of the stockholders of
Travelers. In the event the stockholders shall not approve the Plan
in accordance with the requirements of the Code, then all funds in
all Accounts established hereunder shall be returned to Participants
as soon as reasonably practicable.

The issuance of any Stock hereunder is further conditioned upon
registration of the Stock to be issued with the Commission. In no
event shall any Stock be issued hereunder prior to the declaration
of effectiveness of such registration statement by the Commission.

In no event shall the Company, any member of the Committee, the Vice
President or any Plan Agent be liable for any loss resulting from or
incurred in connection with or by reason of (i) any delay or failure
of the stockholders to approve the Plan, or (ii) any delay incurred
in connection with, or failure to secure, registration of the Stock
with the Commission.

(h) OTHER PROVISIONS: Each Offering shall contain such other provision
as the Vice President shall deem advisable, including restrictions
on resale of Stock purchased through an Offering, provided that no
such provisions may in anyway conflict, or be inconsistent, with the
terms of the Plan as amended from time to time.

ARTICLE VIII
WITHDRAWAL OF FUNDS

SECTION 8.1 The Committee shall maintain an Account for each of the
Participants.

SECTION 8.2

(a) A Participant may at any time prior to the Expiration Date for any

least the Minimum Holding Period. A Participant shall not be
permitted to pledge, transfer or sell Shares held in his or her
Account until they are issued in certificate form after satisfaction
of the Minimum Holding Period. Withdrawals of Shares prior to the
end of the applicable Minimum Holding Period will be permitted only
for the purpose of (i) charitable contributions of such Shares, or
(ii) financial hardship, demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Vice President and in accordance with the "Hardship"
definition herein.

(c) Subject to Section 8.2(b), a Participant will possess all the rights
and privileges of a stockholder of Travelers with respect to all of
the Shares held in his or her Account under

A-5

the Plan, including the right to vote such Shares, and will receive
all distributions and stockholder communications with respect to
such Shares.

value on the date of such investment, and such shares will be held
in Accounts under the Plan.

Travelers, or any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which Travelers is
not the surviving corporation, the Committee, at its election, may cause each
outstanding Option to terminate, provided, however, that each Optionee shall, in
such event, subject to such rules and limitations of uniform application as the
Committee may prescribe, be entitled to the rights of terminating Participants
provided in Sections 8.2(a) and (b).

SECTION 9.2 The aggregate number of Shares which may be purchased by the
exercise of outstanding Options and the Option price per share covered by each
such outstanding Option and the number of Shares held in a Participant's
Account, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares
or other capital adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend or other
increase or decrease in such Shares effected without the receipt of
consideration by Travelers.

SECTION 9.3 Except as provided in this Article, no Optionee shall have any
rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any
class or the payment of any stock dividend of any other increase or decrease in
the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution,
liquidation, merger, or reorganization.

SECTION 9.4 The grant of an Option under the Plan shall not affect in
anyway the right or power of Travelers to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets.

ARTICLE X
RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER

SECTION 10.1 No Optionee shall have any rights as a stockholder of
Travelers except in accordance with Section 8.2(b) and (c) hereof. No adjustment
shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash,
securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such Participant becomes a stockholder of
record. Stock certificates shall be held by Travelers or the Plan Agent and
issued only after satisfaction of the Minimum Holding Period and once a calendar
year, upon the request of a Participant, subject to delays beyond the reasonable
control of Travelers such as but not limited to completion of registration of
the Stock with the Commission or compliance with any Federal or State law, rule
or regulation.

revise the Plan in any respect whatsoever except that (i) no amendment shall
cause any Option to fail to qualify as an option under an "employee stock
purchase plan" as defined in Section 423 of the Code, (ii) without approval of
the stockholders, no amendment shall increase the number of shares which may be
sold under the Plan or make any change in the Employees or class of Employees
eligible to participate in the Plan, and (iii) without the approval of an
Optionee, no change shall be made in the terms of any outstanding Option adverse
to the interest of the Optionee.

ARTICLE XIII
APPLICATION OF FUNDS AND OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION

members of the Committee that are Outside Directors shall act as the Committee.

SECTION 3.2 The Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with
Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Any specific
action by the Committee that would be violative of Section 162(m) of the Code
and the regulations thereunder shall be void. Otherwise the Committee shall
have full and exclusive authority, power and discretion to construe and
interpret the Plan (subject to the advice of the Company's General
Counsel with respect to any question of law), and generally to determine
any and all questions arising under the Plan. The Committee shall have

SECTION 3.3 The Committee shall be responsible for certifying in writing to
the Company that the applicable Performance Goals have been met before any bonus
payments are made under this Plan. If permitted under Section 162(m) of the
Code, such certification may be based upon reasonably estimated financial

ARTICLE IV
CALCULATION OF BONUS AMOUNTS FOR COVERED EMPLOYEES
(OTHER THAN THE SEGMENT EXECUTIVE)

SECTION 4.1 As soon as practicable following the certification described in
Section 3.3 above, and subject to the Committee's discretion to reduce bonuses
under Section 3.2, Covered Employees (other than the Segment Executive) shall be
entitled to receive for the Bonus Year a maximum bonus (whether paid in cash or
restricted stock under the CAP Plan) not exceeding the following percentages of
the Bonus Pool:

The Chief Executive Officer.............................................. 31%
Each other Covered Employee (other than the Segment Executive)........... 23%

SECTION 4.2 The Bonus Pool for any Bonus Year shall be equal to a
percentage of the Adjusted Net Income for such Bonus Year. Adjusted Net Income
shall be calculated without giving effect to the

B-3

payment of bonuses provided for under the Plan. The percentage shall be based
upon the Return on Equity, as follows:

IF THE RETURN ON EQUITY IS: THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THE BONUS POOL SHALL BE:
- --------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

less than 10% (A) = 0%
10% (B) = 1.4% of Adjusted Net Income
greater than 10% up to and including (C) = the amount determined under (B) PLUS 2.4% of the amount by which
12.5% Adjusted Net Income exceeds 10% of Common Equity
greater than 12.5% up to and including (D) = the amount determined under (C) PLUS 3.4% of the amount by which
15% Adjusted Net Income exceeds 12.5% of Common Equity
greater than 15% (E) = the amount determined under (D) PLUS 3.8% of the amount by which
Adjusted Net Income exceeds 15% of Common Equity

In the event that any of the Covered Employees (other than the Segment
Executive) does not qualify as a Covered Employee for a particular Bonus Year,
the percentage share of the Bonus Pool otherwise allocable to such person shall
be allocated to the executive officer who replaces him or her as a Covered
Employee for such Bonus Year. In the event that an individual (other than the
Segment Executive) is added to the Covered Employees, the calculation of the
Bonus Pool will be made without taking such additional individual into account
and the Bonus Pool will then be increased by the dollar amount for any one of
the Covered Employees (other than the chief executive officer or the Segment
Executive) for such Bonus Year. Such increase will represent the maximum share
of the Bonus Pool allocated to such Covered Employee. In the event one of the
Covered Employees (other than the Segment Executive), or his or her
replacement, becomes the chief executive officer of the Company, such Covered
Employee shall be allocated the percentage share allocated to the chief
executive officer.

SECTION 4.3 Any portion (up to $3 million) of a share of the Bonus Pool
calculated for any Covered Employee (other than the Segment Executive) for
a particular Bonus Year may be awarded by the Committee to such Covered
Employee in a succeeding year to the extent not awarded for the Bonus Year;
provided that such award by the Committee will only be made to reward
extraordinary performance by any such Covered Employee.

ARTICLE V
CALCULATION OF BONUS AMOUNTS FOR THE SEGMENT EXECUTIVE

SECTION 5.1 If one of the Covered Employees is the Segment Executive, his
bonus in any Bonus Year shall be equal to a percentage of Defined After-Tax
Earnings, but only if Defined After-Tax Earnings are at least $100,000,000, as
follows:

DEFINED AFTER-TAX EARNINGS BONUS PERCENTAGE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

up to $49,750,000......................................................... 0
$49,750,000 to $750,000,000............................................... 2.0%
$750,000,001 to $1 billion................................................ 1.5%
in excess of $1 billion................................................... 1.0%

SECTION 5.2 If any of the entities whose after-tax net income is included
in "Defined After-Tax Earnings" should have a short fiscal year or if the
Segment Executive is employed by SBS for less than a full calendar year, the
Defined After-Tax Earnings on the financial statements for such short period
shall be annualized in order to apply the above calculations. The bonus paid
shall be pro rated by multiplying the number obtained on an annualized basis by
a fraction the numerator of which shall be
B-4

the number of months in such short period and the denominator of which is 12.
Such bonus shall be paid notwithstanding that the Segment Executive may no
longer be a Covered Employee under the Code.

SECTION 5.3 No payments shall be made to the Segment Executive hereunder
until after certification by the Committee of achievement of the relevant
Performance Goals, in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.

ARTICLE VI
CHANGE OF MEASUREMENT PERIOD

SECTION 6.1 If permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee (as
constituted in Section 3.1 of the Plan) may establish a Measurement Period other
than the calendar year for determining the Bonus Pool if the Committee concludes
that all or a portion of the Bonus Pool for any Bonus Year should be paid to
Covered Employees (other than the Segment Executive) before the end of any
calendar year. Any such change will be made before the new Measurement Period
begins. In such event all relevant criteria will be based upon the books and
records of the Company for the Measurement Period in a manner consistent with
the terms of this Plan.

ARTICLE VII
STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AND AMENDMENT

SECTION 7.1 This Plan shall become effective as of January 1, 1994,
subject, however, to the approval of the Company's stockholders at the 1994
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Company.

SECTION 7.2 The Plan applicable to Covered Employees (other than the
Segment Executive) may be amended at any time by the Committee which shall act
in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Plan. In the event that subsequent
guidance under Section 162(m) is substantially different, with the effect
that the Plan fails to ensure the deductibility of the compensation payable
hereunder, the Committee shall retain the right to modify the Plan for Covered
Employees (other than the Segment Executive) to the extent necessary to
conform any provisions hereof to bring them into compliance, including but
not limited to deletion of any non-conforming provisions, or to discontinue
the Plan altogether. No amendment shall be made without approval of
the stockholders of the Company if such approval is required in order for the
Plan to continue to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.
