Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 2, 2008, Compensation Risk Managers, LLC ("CRM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRM Holdings, Ltd. (the "Company"), and the New York State Workers' Compensation Board ("WCB") entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve the WCB's administrative action to revoke CRM’s third party administrator’s license to provide third party claims administrative services to self-insured workers' compensation groups in New York. Under the Settlement Agreement, the hearing, originally scheduled for May 20, has been canceled, CRM will voluntarily surrender its third party administrator's license and will cease representing self-insurers in the State of New York, and, as part of the ongoing transfer of its self-insured groups that voluntarily closed, CRM will continue to assist the WCB in the transfer of the administration of the groups still being managed by CRM to a new third party administrator appointed by the WCB under the Workers’ Compensation Law and the WCB’s regulations.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
