Dear Mr. Shepard,
At a meeting of the Donegal Group Inc. Board of Directors (the “DGI Board”)
held on October 17,2013, the DGI Board considered the proposal contained in your
letter dated October 7,2013 to the DGI Board and the Donegal Mutual Insurance
Company Board of Directors. In considering your proposal, the DGI Board relied upon
and unanimously accepted the determination of the DGI Board’s Special Committee
that your proposal was illusory because, among other reasons, you have failed to obtain
all of the regulatory approvals necessary for you to purchase any additional shares of
DGI common stock. Accordingly, the DGI Board has determined to reject your
proposal.
Sincerely,
Donald H. Nikolaus
President
