Hurricane Sandy

On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey and caused significant loss of life and property damage in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. While the Company is continuing to evaluate the effects of Hurricane Sandy on its insured portfolio, it does not expect any significant losses as a result of the hurricane at this time.
