Explanatory Note
Employers Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment Filing”) to revise certain information in a press release (the “Original Earnings Release”) furnished by the Company with its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012 (the “Original Filing”).
Section 2 – Financial Information
| Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On February 27, 2012, the Company issued the Original Earnings Release and furnished the Original Filing to announce results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Subsequent to the Original Filing, the Company determined that it needed to adjust an accrual associated with incentive bonus programs. On February 29, 2012, the Company issued a new press release (the “Revised Earnings Release”) with revised results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 reflecting the adjustment of the accrual. The Revised Earnings Release includes additional detail on the differences between the information reported in the Original Earnings Release and in the Revised Earnings Release. The Revised Earnings Release also updates and restates all information contained in the Original Earnings Release to reflect the adjustment of the accrual. As a result, the Revised Earnings Release is intended to replace the Original Earnings Release in its entirety. The Revised Earnings Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and is being furnished, not filed, under Item 2.02 to this Amendment Filing.
Neither this Amendment Filing nor the Revised Earnings Release reflect events occurring after the Original Filing, or modify or update the disclosure presented in the Original Filing, except to reflect revisions associated with the adjustment of the accrual and the explanation thereof.
