Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 5, 2023, United Fire Group, Inc. (the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Filing") to announce the appointment of Julie Stephenson as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective January 30, 2023 (“Effective Date”). This amendment to the Original Filing is being filed to provide information regarding amendments to the terms of her Executive Employment Offer Letter (“Offer Letter”) as described in the Original Filing.

The Amended Offer Letter, dated March 1, 2023, increases Ms. Stephenson's equity grants to address a disparity in calculating her initial restricted stock unit (RSU) grants to include an addition of 1,850 shares vesting March 1, 2023, 1,101 shares vesting March 31, 2024, and 627 shares vesting March 31, 2025 subject to the terms of the original Offer Letter. The Amended Offer Letter also modifies Ms. Stephenson's initial bonus to instead be a signing bonus in the amount of $596,948, inclusive of a gross-up valued at $219,418 which represents Ms. Stephenson's foregone cash compensation that she was required to return to her previous employer as a result of joining the Company. No other changes were made to Ms. Stephenson’s Offer Letter.
