Executive officers (as defined below) of Employers Mutual Casualty Company (the “Company”) may be required to repay previously awarded incentive-based compensation to the Company in certain circumstances and to the extent required under applicable law. For incentive compensation performance periods in progress as of the adoption of this policy and paid on or after January 1, 2015, the statement of terms and conditions accompanying any incentive-based compensation award made by the Company shall include a provision incorporating the requirements of this policy.

To the extent there is a determination made that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of EMC Insurance Group Inc.’s Board of Directors (EMCI) (collectively referred to as the Compensation Committees) will determine whether, and to what extent, recovery of any incentive-based compensation previously paid is appropriate based on the facts and circumstances involved. If it is determined that a recovery is appropriate, the Compensation Committees shall direct that the Company recover that portion of any incentive-based compensation (whether in the form of cash or equity, if applicable) paid to current and former executive officers during the 36-month period preceding the date the Company is required to issue the accounting restatement that is in excess of what would have been paid to the executive officers under the accounting restatement. The amount to be recovered from the executive officers based on an accounting restatement shall be the amount by which the affected incentive-based compensation exceeded the amount that would have been payable to such executive officers had the accounting statements initially been issued as restated; provided, however, the Compensation Committees reserve the authority to recover different amounts from different executive officers on such bases as they shall deem appropriate, such as in the case of an executive officer’s misconduct that contributes to the need for the accounting restatement.

The Compensation Committees shall determine, subject to applicable law, whether the Company shall effect such recovery of incentive-based compensation (i) by seeking recovery from the executive officer; (ii) by reducing the amount that would otherwise be payable to the executive officer under any compensatory plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company; (iii) by withholding payment of future increases in compensation (including the payment of any discretionary bonus amount); or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.

For purposes of this policy, the term “executive officers” means those persons who received incentive-based compensation under the Company’s Senior Executive Compensation Bonus Program, Senior Executive Long Term Incentive Plan, or the incentive-based compensation plans applicable to the Company’s Bond Manager and the President of EMC Reinsurance Company. The term “incentive-based compensation” means, as applicable, cash or equity compensation paid under any of the above mentioned plans, the amount of which was determined in whole, or in part, upon specific performance-based goals relating to the financial results of EMC Insurance Companies, or its individual operating segments.

The remedies outlined herein are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any action deemed necessary by the Compensation Committees, the Company’s Board of Directors, EMCI’s Board of Directors, or the Company (up to and including termination of employment), and any legal rights available to the Company to recover incentive-based compensation, and any action imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other authorities.
