Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 9, 2018, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Employers Holdings, Inc. (Subsidiaries) entered into Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements (Letter of Credit Agreements) with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB SF). The Letter of Credit Agreements are among FHLB SF and each of Employers Assurance Company (EAC), in the amount of $40 million, Employers Compensation Insurance Company (ECIC), in the amount of $50 million, and Employers Preferred Insurance Company (EPIC), in the amount of $50 million. The Letter of Credit Agreements are effective as of March 9, 2018 and expire on March 31, 2019. However, the Letter of Credit Agreements will remain evergreen with automatic one-year extensions unless the FHLB SF notifies the beneficiary at least sixty days prior to the then applicable expiration date of its election not to renew.
Each of the Letter of Credit Agreements may only be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, the Subsidiaries’ workers’ compensation insurance deposit requirements with the State of California.
Each of the Letter of Credit Agreements must be fully secured with eligible collateral at all times. The FHLB SF will charge the Subsidiaries applicable fees, including an issuance fee, an annual maintenance fee, a processing fee for each drawing, and an amendment fee.
The rights and obligations of the FHLB SF and the Subsidiaries with respect to each other in regard to this facility are set forth in each of the Letter of Credit Agreements.
The foregoing description of the Letter of Credit Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the enclosed Confirmation of Irrevocable Letter of Credit No. 2018-08, Confirmation of Irrevocable Letter of Credit No. 2018-09, Confirmation of Irrevocable Letter of Credit No. 2018-10 and Form of Letter of Credit Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
