Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 15, 2019, Lori A. Brown, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer of Employers Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a prearranged 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 prearranged 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 Ms. Brown represented that she was not in possession of any material, non-public information. The trading plan is scheduled to terminate on May 1, 2020 and may be terminated earlier by Ms. Brown, 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.
The Company does not intend to provide future disclosures of 10b5-1 trading plans that may be entered into by executives from time to time; however, any future transactions in the Company's common stock pursuant to such plans will continue to be publicly reported to the Securities Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules, and regulations.
