Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 3, 2016, the compensation committees of the boards of directors of EMC Insurance Group Inc. (the "Company") and Employers Mutual Casualty Company, the Company’s parent organization, approved a new short-term bonus plan (the Executive Annual Bonus Plan (Annual Plan)) and a new long-term incentive plan (the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)) for the senior executive officers of the companies. The new bonus plans will be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval at the Company’s 2016 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting on May 19, 2016. If approved by stockholders, the new Annual Plan will be effective for calendar year 2016. Bonus calculations under the new LTIP will be based on financial results achieved over the prospective three years, beginning with calendar year 2016; therefore, the new LTIP will not be utilized until calendar year 2018. As a result, the current Senior Executive Long Term Incentive Plan will remain in effect for calendar years 2016 and 2017, and will utilize the short-term bonus calculations produced under the Senior Executive Compensation Bonus Program for calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
