Exhibit 99.2
This presentation contains Forward Looking Statements and other information designed to convey
our projections and expectations regarding future results. There are a number of factors which
could cause our actual results to vary materially from those projected in this presentation. The
principal risk factors that may cause these differences are described in various documents we file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as our Current Reports on Form 8-K, and our
regular reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, particularly in “Item 1A, Risk Factors.” Please review
this presentation in conjunction with a thorough reading and understanding of these risk factors.
We especially identify statements concerning our recently-completed acquisition of American
Physicians Service Group (NASDAQ: AMPH) as Forward Looking Statements and direct
your attention to recent filings on Forms 10K and 10Q for a discussion of risk factors
pertaining to this transaction and subsequent integration into ProAssurance.
This presentation contains Non-GAAP measures, and we may reference Non-GAAP measures in
our remarks. A reconciliation of these measures to GAAP measures is available in our latest
quarterly news release, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website,
www.ProAssurance.com, and in the related Current Reports on Form 8K disclosing that release.

Regulatory Changes = Opportunity
  Healthcare Reform will require more providers across
 all levels of care
  More customers for certain, maybe more litigation
  Likely to accelerate the trend of physicians joining
 into hospital-owned practices and larger groups
  We are uniquely positioned due to geographic reach, long-
 term experience in hospitals and financial strength
  May hasten M&A amongst smaller insurers that lack the
 capacity or capability to insure hospitals or facilities
  Tort Reform remains a state-level issue
