Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On November 4, 2011, the Registrant issued a press release announcing that a change in the terms of the excess of loss reinsurance agreement between the Registrant’s reinsurance subsidiary, EMC Reinsurance Company, and Employers Mutual Casualty Company (Employers Mutual), the Registrant’s parent organization, had been approved for 2012 by the Inter-Company Committees of the boards of directors of the Registrant and Employers Mutual, subject to regulatory approval. Effective January 1, 2012, the retention, or cap, on losses assumed per event contained in the agreement was increased from $3.0 million to $4.0 million. The cost of the excess of loss reinsurance agreement was not changed and will continue at 10.0 percent of total assumed reinsurance premiums. This change was a result of efforts to ensure that the terms of the agreement remain fair and equitable to both parties. Final regulatory approval of the revised terms was received on February 6, 2012. The amendment to the agreement was formally executed on February 13, 2012. The agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1.3.
