	(b)		On December 2, 2009, Klaus J. Mangold advised The Chubb Corporation (Chubb) of his decision not to stand for re-election to Chubb’s Board of Directors at Chubb’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (2010 Annual Meeting). Dr. Mangold currently serves on Chubb’s Finance Committee. Dr. Mangold informed Chubb that his decision not to stand for re-election was a result of the demands of his other business activities, including his recent appointment as non-executive Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Rothschild & Cie, Frankfurt.
			Pursuant to Chubb’s mandatory retirement policy for non-employee directors, it is expected that Joel J. Cohen will retire from the Board of Directors as of the date of the 2010 Annual Meeting. Mr. Cohen currently serves on Chubb’s Audit Committee and Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee. Chubb’s mandatory retirement policy for non-employee directors is set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are posted on Chubb’s web site at www.chubb.com.
