indemnification for our &lsquo;&lsquo;agents&rsquo;&rsquo; upon a
determination that such indemnification is proper under the
circumstances. That determination is to be made by a majority of a
quorum of disinterested directors, the court in which the proceeding is
or was pending (upon application made by the Company, the party seeking
indemnification or the attorney or other person rendering services in
connection with the application), the stockholders, independent legal
counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors so
requests, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum
of disinterested directors cannot be obtained. The Company&rsquo;s
amended and restated by-laws define &lsquo;&lsquo;agent&rsquo;&rsquo;
as any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or who
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another foreign or domestic company, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director, or officer
of a foreign or domestic company which was a predecessor company of the
Company or of another enterprise at the request of the predecessor
company. The Company&rsquo;s amended and restated by-laws provide that
our board of directors may provide similar indemnification to employees
and agents of the Company.</p>

Employers Holdings, Inc. is the name that EIG Mutual Holding Company, a
Nevada mutual insurance holding company, will adopt upon consummation
of its conversion to a stock corporation. This conversion and name
change will occur immediately prior to the closing of the offering of
common stock described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 333-139092).
(2) This Registration
Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock which
may become issuable under the Plans being registered pursuant to this
Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the
receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of
the Registrant's outstanding shares of common stock. In addition,
pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate amount of
interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the employee benefits plans
described herein.
(3) Estimated solely for the
purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c)
and (h) under the Securities Act on the basis of the average of the
high and low sale prices for a share of common stock of Employers
Holdings, Inc. as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on January
31,
2007.
PART
II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Employers Holdings, Inc. (the ''Company'' or
the ''Registrant'') hereby incorporates by
reference into this Registration Statement the following documents:
(a)    the Company's Prospectus filed on January 31,
2007 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended; and
(b)    the description of the common stock
contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A,
filed on January 4, 2007 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the ''Exchange Act'').
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing
of such documents. Statements contained in this Registration Statement
or in a document incorporated by reference may be modified or
superseded by later statements in this Registration Statement or by
statements in subsequent documents incorporated by reference, in which
case you should refer to the later statement.
Item
4.    Description of Securities
Inapplicable.
Item
5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Inapplicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
The Company's amended and restated articles of
incorporation provide that we may provide indemnification for directors
and officers to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. The
Company's amended and restated by-laws also provide such
indemnification for our ''agents'' upon a
determination that such indemnification is proper under the
circumstances. That determination is to be made by a majority of a
quorum of disinterested directors, the court in which the proceeding is
or was pending (upon application made by the Company, the party seeking
indemnification or the attorney or other person rendering services in
connection with the application), the stockholders, independent legal
counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors so
requests, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum
of disinterested directors cannot be obtained. The Company's
amended and restated by-laws define ''agent''
as any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or who
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another foreign or domestic company, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director, or officer
of a foreign or domestic company which was a predecessor company of the
Company or of another enterprise at the request of the predecessor
company. The Company's amended and restated by-laws provide that
our board of directors may provide similar indemnification to employees
and agents of the Company.
Indemnification is not provided
where:
•
the person is liable pursuant
to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138;
•
the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which that person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Company's best
interests; or
•
in the case of a
criminal proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe the
conduct of the person was unlawful.
At present, there is no pending litigation
or proceeding involving any of the Company's directors, executive
officers, other employees or agents for which indemnification is
sought, and the Company is not aware of any threatened litigation or
proceeding that may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Item 9.    Undertakings
1.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
To file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement:
(i)
to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iii)
to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(b)
That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)
To remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
2.
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
3.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
