The aggregate fair value of the restricted stock vested, during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, was

Deferred Compensation The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (Deferral Plan) permits
eligible Progressive executives to defer receipt of some or all of their annual bonuses and all of their annual equity awards.
Deferred cash compensation is deemed invested in one or more investment funds, including Progressive common shares,
offered under the Deferral Plan and elected by the participant. All Deferral Plan distributions attributable to deferred cash
compensation will be paid in cash.
For all equity awards granted in or after March 2005, and deferred pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the deferred amounts are
deemed invested in our common shares and are ineligible for transfer to other investment funds in the Deferral Plan;
distributions of these deferred awards will be made in Progressive common shares. For all restricted stock awards granted
prior to that date, the deferred amounts are eligible to be transferred to any of the investment funds in the Deferral Plan;
distributions of these deferred awards will be made in cash. We reserved 11.1 million of our common shares for issuance
under the Deferral Plan. An irrevocable grantor trust has been established to provide a source of funds to assist us in
meeting our liabilities under the Deferral Plan.
