Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(i)    On March 3, 2025, Employers Holdings, Inc. (“EHI” or the “Company”) announced that, effective as of March 3, 2025, Marvin Pestcoe has been appointed as a member of the EHI Board of Directors (the “Board”). Mr. Pestcoe will serve on the Board and has been appointed to the Audit Committee and the Board Governance and Nominating Committee.
Marvin Pestcoe, age 64, retired from Langhorne Re, a global reinsurer of life and annuity portfolios, after serving as its Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer from January 2019 to April 2021. Mr. Pestcoe continued to serve on the board of Langhorne Re until March 2023. Prior to joining Langhorne Re, Mr. Pestcoe held a variety of executive positions at Partner Re from 2001 to 2017 and at Swiss Re New Markets from 1997 to 2001. Mr. Pestcoe has over 40 years of experience in insurance, reinsurance and investments, including a range of executive roles and leadership positions that focused on profit center management, investments, corporate strategy, data analytics and risk management. Mr. Pestcoe is a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries.
Mr. Pestcoe has served on several boards of directors of private and public companies. Mr. Pestcoe currently serves on the board of Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd., where he is the chair of the Underwriting Committee, a member of the Audit Committee and a member of the Investment Committee. Mr. Pestcoe also currently serves on the board of Catalina Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd.
Mr. Pestcoe will participate in the non-employee director compensation program at EHI. Under the current program, each non-employee Board member receives an annual cash retainer of $65,000, each Board committee chair receives an annual cash retainer ranging from $10,000 to $20,000, and each Board committee member receives an annual cash retainer ranging from $9,000 to $14,000. Historically, the non-employee director compensation program has also included a grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to continuing directors after each annual meeting of stockholders with a grant date fair value of $85,000. For non-employee directors who have joined the Board between annual meetings, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) has historically made a grant of RSUs in an amount that takes into consideration the length of time that the new Board member will serve between annual meetings. The Compensation Committee intends to meet at a later date to consider granting Mr. Pestcoe an award of RSUs on a similar basis.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Pestcoe and any other person pursuant to which he was named as a director of EHI. Mr. Pestcoe has no family relationship with EHI’s directors or executive officers, or any persons nominated or chosen by EHI to be a director or executive officer. Mr. Pestcoe has not entered into any other material plan, contract, arrangement or amendment in connection with his appointment to the Board.
Mr. Pestcoe is not a party to any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On March 3, 2025, EHI issued a press release regarding the appointment of Mr. Pestcoe to the Board. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
(ii)    On March 3, 2025, Michael J. McSally notified the Board that he was retiring from the Board and that his service on the Board would conclude effective March 3, 2025. Mr. McSally has served as a director of EHI since 2013 and served as Board chair from May 2020 to March 2024. EHI is profoundly grateful for Mr. McSally’s distinguished service to our Company and its stockholders.
Mr. McSally has informed the Board that he does not have any disagreement with EHI on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Kroner has served as a director of EHI since 2013. EHI is profoundly grateful for Mr. Kroner’s distinguished service to our Company and its stockholders.
Mr. Kroner has informed the Board that he does not have any disagreement with EHI on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.
