Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 11, 2017, Employers Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) reporting that Employers Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, had entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Initial Purchase Agreement”) with Partner Reinsurance Company of the U.S., a New York corporation, with respect to the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of PartnerRe Insurance Company of New York, a New York corporation (“PRNY”).
On May 24, 2018, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A, Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), reporting that the parties had amended the Initial Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Purchase Agreement”) to permit, among other things, that Cerity Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Cerity”) be the acquirer of PRNY.
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A, Amendment No. 2, further amends the Initial Report and the Amendment by announcing that, on July 31, 2019, Cerity completed the Acquisition. The purchase price paid at closing was equal to the sum of: (i) the amount of statutory capital and surplus of PRNY at closing ($47.6 million); and (ii) $5.8 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment subsequent to closing in accordance with the Amended Purchase Agreement.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Purchase Agreement, which is contained in Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K/A dated May 24, 2018, and is incorporated by reference herein.
