The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. ("THG") is a holding company organized as a Delaware corporation in 1995. We trace our roots to as early as 1852, when the Hanover Fire Insurance Company was founded. Our primary business operations are property and casualty insurance products and services. We market our products and services through independent agents and brokers in the United States ("U.S."). Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of THG; The Hanover Insurance Company ("Hanover Insurance") and Citizens Insurance Company of America ("Citizens"), which are our principal property and casualty subsidiaries; and other insurance and non-insurance subsidiaries. Our results of operations also include the results of our discontinued operations, consisting primarily of our former accident and health and life insurance businesses, as well as our former Chaucer international business. As discussed further in "Discontinued Operations" below, on December 28, 2018, we completed the sale of Chaucer Holdings Limited ("Chaucer"), our United Kingdom ("U.K.") domiciled Lloyd's international specialty business, to China Reinsurance (Group) Corporation ("China Re"). The sales of our Chaucer-related Irish and Australian entities were subsequently completed on February 14, 2019 and April 10, 2019, respectively. We conduct our business operations through three operating segments. These segments are Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, and Other. We report interest expense related to our corporate debt separately from the earnings of our operating segments. Information with respect to each of our segments is included in "Results of Operations - Segments" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and in Note 13 - "Segment Information" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
