Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 8.01.   Other Events.

On May 2, 2016, Stephen Festa, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer of Employers Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a pre-arranged trading plan in accordance with the requirements specified in Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Rule 10b5-1 trading plans permit individuals who are not then in possession of material non-public information to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell the Company’s common stock. Trading plans can minimize the market effect of insider purchases or sales by spreading these purchases or sales over a more extended period than the limited trading “windows” designated by the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
The trading plan referred to above was entered into during the Company’s Open Trading Window and Mr. Festa represented that he was not in possession of any material, non-public information. The trading plan is scheduled to terminate on March 30, 2017 and may be terminated earlier by Mr. Festa, subject to applicable securities laws and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. Transactions under this trading plan will be publicly reported to the Securities Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules, and regulations.
