The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the 1934 Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the 1934 Act.

 

 

 


PREFATORY NOTE

Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (“Donegal Mutual”) files this Amendment No. 17 to its Schedule 13D/A (“Amendment No. 17”) to update the information contained in Amendment No. 16 to Schedule 13D/A that Donegal Mutual filed on July 1, 2009 relating to Donegal Mutual’s ownership of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock of Donegal Group Inc. (“DGI”).

Donegal Mutual, as a mutual insurance company owned by its policyholders, has no stockholders. Donegal Mutual is therefore not subject to the periodic reporting requirements pursuant to Section 13(a) of the 1934 Act. However, Donegal Mutual is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act because Donegal Mutual owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of DGI and more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock of DGI, each of which is a class of voting equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act. DGI is subject to the periodic reporting requirements applicable to issuers of a class of voting equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act.

DGI has previously timely reported, in accordance with the 1934 Act, all of the substantive information this Amendment No. 17 reports on Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K or in the definitive proxy statements DGI has heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

As the General Instructions to Schedule 13D require, Donegal Mutual reports the information Items 2 through 6 of Schedule 13D require with respect to each executive officer and director of Donegal Mutual and DGI, respectively. Donegal Mutual and such executive officers and directors, however, expressly declare that the filing of this Amendment No. 17 shall not constitute, or be construed as, an admission that such persons and Donegal Mutual constitute a “group” of beneficial owners for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Donegal Mutual hereby supplements and amends Item 2 of its Schedule 13D/A so that, as supplemented and amended, Item 2 reads in its entirety as follows:

The address of the principal place of business and the principal office of Donegal Mutual, a Pennsylvania mutual fire insurance company formed in 1889, the entity filing this Amendment No. 17, is 1195 River Road, Marietta, Pennsylvania 17547.

A group of local residents and business owners in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania formed Donegal Mutual in 1889 to provide property and casualty insurance. Now, 123 years later, Donegal Mutual has succeeded and grown to have approximately $340.0 million in total assets and surplus of approximately $181.0 million as of March 31, 2012. In addition, Donegal Mutual controls approximately two-thirds of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of DGI’s Class A common stock and DGI’s Class B common stock. At March 31, 2012, DGI had total assets of approximately $1.3 billion and stockholders’ equity of approximately $391.0 million. Donegal Mutual and DGI now conduct business in 22 Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, New England and Southern states. An important part of Donegal Mutual’s and DGI’s business culture is to maintain and strengthen their founding principles and values.

Since DGI established Atlantic States Insurance Company in 1986, Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries have conducted business together as the Donegal Insurance Group, while retaining their separate legal and corporate existences. As such, Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries share the same business philosophies, the same management, the same employees and the same facilities and offer the same types of insurance products. Donegal Mutual and DGI believe that Donegal Mutual’s majority voting interest in DGI fosters its ability to implement its business philosophies, enjoy management continuity, maintain superior employee relations and provide a stable environment within which Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries can grow their insurance businesses.

During 2011, A.M. Best Company reported that the Donegal Insurance Group ranked as the 103rd largest property and casualty insurance group in the United States based on 2010 net premiums written. In addition, A.M. Best Company assigned the Donegal Insurance Group an A.M. Best rating of A (Excellent).

Donegal Mutual and DGI believe their relationship with each other since 1986 has been integral to their respective growth, financial condition and success in the property and casualty insurance industry and will continue to be a benefit to Donegal Mutual, to Donegal Mutual’s policyholders, to DGI, to DGI’s stockholders and to the policyholders of DGI’s insurance subsidiaries for the long-term future. The relationship provides Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries with many advantages. Donegal Mutual and DGI believe these advantages include the following:

 

   

fostering the stable management of DGI’s insurance subsidiaries and their consistent underwriting discipline, external growth, long-term profitability and financial strength;

 

-4-


   

creating operational and expense synergies from the combination of resources and integrated operations of Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries;

 

   

enhancing DGI’s opportunities to expand by acquisition because of the ability of Donegal Mutual to affiliate with and acquire control of other mutual insurance companies and, thereafter, demutualize them and combine them with DGI;

 

   

producing more stable and uniform underwriting results for DGI’s insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual over extended periods of time than DGI’s insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual could achieve without their relationship;

 

   

providing opportunities for growth because of the ability of Donegal Mutual to enter into reinsurance agreements with other mutual insurance companies and place the business it assumes into the pooling agreement; and

 

   

providing Atlantic States with a significantly larger underwriting capacity because of the underwriting pool Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States have maintained since 1986.

In the latter portion of the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, the board of directors of Donegal Mutual undertook a review of the relationship between Donegal Mutual and DGI and determined that continuing the current relationship and the current corporate structure of Donegal Mutual and DGI is in the best interest of Donegal Mutual and its various constituencies.

Donegal Mutual believes that the maintenance of its majority voting control of DGI is an essential foundation to DGI’s strong financial condition and provides the benefits described above to DGI. The boards of directors of Donegal Mutual and DGI recently reaffirmed that their historical relationship provides both parties with numerous benefits and that the continuation of the existing relationship is in the best interest of all of the constituencies Donegal Mutual and DGI serve.

DGI has a two-class voting structure that enables DGI to issue stock to raise additional equity capital and to effect additional acquisitions without materially affecting the relative voting power of any stockholder. Donegal Mutual is committed to maintaining its majority voting

 

-5-


control of DGI to facilitate the continuation of the benefits provided to DGI and Donegal Mutual by Donegal Mutual’s majority voting control of DGI. Donegal Mutual will therefore continue to purchase DGI’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock from time to time in the open market pursuant to SEC Rule 10b-18 and in private transactions. An order of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department authorizes Donegal Mutual to acquire ownership of 100% of DGI’s Class B common stock and up to 70% of DGI’s Class A common stock.

The directors of Donegal Mutual are Scott A. Berlucchi, Dennis J. Bixenman, Michael K. Callahan, Frederick W. Dreher, Patricia A. Gilmartin, Philip H. Glatfelter, II, Cyril J. Greenya, Jack L.

Neither Donegal Mutual nor DGI nor any of their respective executive officers or directors has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding other than traffic violations and similar misdemeanors. Neither Donegal Mutual nor DGI nor any of their respective executive officers or directors has, during the last five years, been subject to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws as a result of any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Donegal Mutual hereby supplements and amends Item 3 of its Schedule 13D/A so that, as supplemented and amended, Item 3 reads in its entirety as follows:

Donegal Mutual may from time to time purchase shares of Class A common stock of DGI and Class B common stock of DGI in the open market pursuant to SEC Rule 10b-18 and in private transactions. The source of any funds Donegal Mutual has historically used for this purpose has been Donegal Mutual’s available funds on hand, but it reserves the right to draw upon its available line of credit for this purpose in the future.

In February 2009, DGI’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which DGI may repurchase up to 300,000 shares of DGI’s Class A common stock at prices prevailing from time to time in the open market subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 10b-18 and in privately negotiated transactions.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Donegal Mutual hereby supplements and amends Item 4 of its Schedule 13D/A so that, as supplemented and amended, Item 4 reads in its entirety as follows:

DGI’s repurchase of shares of Class A common stock provides it with shares to use for compensation and other corporate purposes of DGI without diluting the majority voting ownership of DGI by Donegal Mutual. The purchase of shares of Class B common stock by Donegal Mutual provides it with additional corporate flexibility and helps assure Donegal Mutual’s continuing majority voting control of DGI. Donegal Mutual has no current plans or proposals with respect to DGI or its subsidiaries which relate to or would result in:

 

   

Donegal Mutual’s disposition of shares of Class A common stock of DGI or Donegal Mutual’s disposition of shares of Class B common stock of DGI;

 

   

an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger or reorganization of DGI or any of its subsidiaries;

 

-10-


   

a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of DGI or any of DGI’s subsidiaries;

 

   

any change in the current board of directors or management of DGI, including any plans or proposals to change the number of the members of DGI’s board of directors;

 

   

any material change in the capitalization of DGI as of March 31, 2012 or any material change in DGI’s current dividend policy and practices;

 

   

any material change in DGI’s business or corporate structures;

 

   

any change in DGI’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any other action that might impede an acquisition of control of DGI by a person other than Donegal Mutual as described in this Amendment No. 17;

 

   

causing a class of equity securities of DGI to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized for quotation systems of a registered national securities association;

 

   

causing a class of equity securities of DGI to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act; or

 

   

any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
