During his 38 year career with PwC, including 27 years as a partner, Mr. McColgan served as Regional Assurance Leader for the East Region, Managing Partner for several areas of practice, and as the Global Engagement Partner for several of PwC&#8217;s largest insurance company clients.  Mr. McColgan received a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Accounting from Villanova University and is a Certified Public Accountant, licensed in 12 states.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:4px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Mr. McColgan will participate in the non-employee director compensation program at the Company.

The Compensation Committee of the Board intends to meet at a later date to consider granting Mr. McColgan an award of RSUs on a similar basis.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:4px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. McColgan and any other person pursuant to which he was named a director of the Company.

Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of  Certain Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 26, 2017, Employers Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") announced that Michael J. McColgan has been appointed as a member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective July 1, 2017.  Mr. McColgan will be a Class II director with a term expiring at the Company's 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Mr. McColgan will serve on the Audit and Risk Committees of the Board.
On June 30, 2017, Mr. McColgan, age 61, will retire as a Partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP ("PwC").  During his 38 year career with PwC, including 27 years as a partner, Mr. McColgan served as Regional Assurance Leader for the East Region, Managing Partner for several areas of practice, and as the Global Engagement Partner for several of PwC's largest insurance company clients.  Mr. McColgan received a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Villanova University and is a Certified Public Accountant, licensed in 12 states.
Mr. McColgan will participate in the non-employee director compensation program at the Company.  Under the current program, non-employee Board members receive an annual cash retainer of $40,000, Board committee chairs receive an annual cash retainer ranging from $10,000 to $15,000, and Board committee members receive meeting fees ranging from $1,500 to $1,750 per meeting.  Historically, the non-employee director compensation program has also included a grant of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to continuing directors after each Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  For non-employee directors who have joined the board between annual meetings, the Compensation Committee of the Board has made a grant of RSUs in an amount that takes into consideration the length of time the new Board member will serve between annual meetings.  The Compensation Committee of the Board intends to meet at a later date to consider granting Mr. McColgan an award of RSUs on a similar basis.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. McColgan and any other person pursuant to which he was named a director of the Company.  Mr. McColgan does not have any family relationship with the Company's directors or executive officers or any persons nominated or chosen by the Company to be a director or executive officer.  Mr. McColgan has not entered into any other material plan, contract, arrangement or amendment in connection with his appointment to the Board.
Mr. McColgan is not a party to any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On April 26, 2017, the Company issued a press release regarding the appointment of Mr. McColgan to the Board.  The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
