As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Mutual's statutory capital included surplus notes due to Old Republic of $10.5 out of total statutory capital of $46.4 and $36.5, respectively. AB&M's accounts are not consolidated with Old Republic's since it is owned by its policyholders and, in any event, their inclusion would not have a significant effect on Old Republic's consolidated financial statements.
