Dear Shareholder:

We invite you to attend our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 20, 2014, in Birmingham, Alabama. At the meeting, you will hear a report on our operations and have an opportunity to meet our directors and executives.

This booklet includes the formal notice of the meeting and the Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement tells you more about the agenda and procedures for the meeting. It also describes how our Board of Directors operates and provides information about the nominees to our Board.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Who May Vote

Shareholders, as recorded in our stock register on March 24, 2014, may vote at the meeting. As of that date, we had 11,420,989 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be considered at the meeting.

How to Vote

You may vote in person at the meeting or by proxy. We recommend you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting. You can always change your vote at the meeting.

Written Proxy. All shareholders can vote by completing and returning the attached proxy card.

Telephone and Internet Proxy. Some shareholders can also vote by touchtone telephone and/or the Internet. The use of electronic voting via the telephone and the Internet is dependent upon how a shareholder holds shares and, if held through a broker, each shareholder’s particular broker. Please follow the instructions provided on the proxy card if electronic voting is made available to you and if you wish to vote electronically. Please note that you may be unable to access electronic voting after 11:59 p.m., May 19, 2014.

Access to the Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and the Annual Report to Shareholders

The Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and 2013 Annual Report to Shareholders are available under the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.infinityauto.com. We will also provide a copy of any of these documents to any shareholder free of charge, upon request by calling (205) 803-8186, by e-mailing investor.relations@infinity-insurance.com, or by writing to: Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation, Attn: Investor Relations, 3700 Colonnade Parkway, Suite 600, Birmingham, AL 35243.

Street Name Holders. If you hold your shares in a bank or brokerage account, your bank or broker may also provide you copies of these documents electronically. Please check the information provided in the proxy materials mailed to you by your bank or broker regarding the availability of this service.

How Proxies Work

Our Board of Directors is asking for your proxy. Giving us your proxy means you authorize us to vote your shares at the meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for all, some, or none of our director candidates. You may also vote for or against the other proposals or abstain from voting on any or all matters.

If you sign and return the enclosed proxy card but do not specify how to vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors, namely “FOR” our director candidates, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year, and “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (the “NEOs”) as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, each properly executed proxy card will be voted in the discretion of the named proxies. Management has not received proper notice of any matters to be presented at the meeting other than those proposed in this Proxy Statement.

Banks or brokers holding shares for beneficial owners must vote those shares as instructed. If the bank or broker has not received instructions from you, the beneficial owner, the bank or broker generally has discretionary voting power only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year. It is therefore important that you provide instructions to your bank or broker if your shares are held by such a bank or broker so that your vote with respect to all other matters is counted.

You may receive more than one proxy or voting card depending on how you hold your shares. Shares registered in your name are covered by one card. If you hold shares through someone else, such as a stockbroker, you may receive materials from them asking how you wish to vote.

Revoking a Proxy

You may revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting by submitting a new proxy with a later date (or by recording a later telephone or Internet proxy), by voting in person at the meeting, or by notifying our Corporate Secretary in writing at the address of our principal executive offices as listed on the front page of the Proxy Statement.

Quorum

In order to carry on the business of the meeting, we must have a quorum. This means that at least a majority of the outstanding shares eligible to vote must be represented at the meeting, either by proxy or in person. Abstentions and broker non-votes are considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Broker non-votes occur when a broker returns a proxy card but does not have authority to vote on a particular proposal.

Vote Tabulation

Votes will be tabulated and the results certified by or under the direction of an Inspector of Elections, who may be an employee of ours.

The nine director candidates who receive the greatest number of “FOR” votes will be elected to serve as directors on the Board. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast.

Approval of all other matters at the meeting or of postponement or adjournment, require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast.

Proxy Solicitation

Our Board is soliciting your proxy for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. We will bear the costs of the proxy solicitation, including the reimbursement of banks and brokers for reasonable expenses of sending out our proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock. We have engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist us in soliciting proxies for a fee of $12,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to solicitation by mail, our officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, by facsimile, and by e-mail.

Other Matters

Any other matters considered at the meeting, including postponement or adjournment, will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.

Cumulative Voting

In voting to elect directors, shareholders are entitled to cumulate their votes and to give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares held by the shareholder, or to distribute their votes on the same principle among as many candidates as the shareholder so desires. In order to invoke cumulative voting, notice of cumulative voting must be given in writing by a shareholder to our Corporate Secretary at the address as listed on the first page of this Proxy Statement not less than 48 hours prior to the Annual Meeting. The proxies solicited include discretionary authority to cumulate votes.

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors consists of one class of directors with a term ending at each annual meeting of shareholders. The size of the Board shall be deemed to be equal to the number of directors elected at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated Angela Brock-Kyle for election and Teresa A. Canida, Jorge G. Castro, James R. Gober, Harold E. Layman, E. Robert Meaney, Drayton Nabers, Jr., William Stancil Starnes, and Samuel J. Weinhoff for re-election to the Board of Directors.

Proxies solicited by the Board will be voted for the election of these nominees. All directors elected at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be elected to hold office until the expiration of each elected director’s term at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

We have no reason to believe that any of the director nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. However, if any director nominee becomes unavailable or unwilling to serve before the election, your proxy card authorizes us to vote for a replacement nominee, if the Board names one.

The Board recommends you vote FOR each of the following nominees:

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS INFINITY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2014 FISCAL YEAR

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has recommended the selection and appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection or decide to continue the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines a change would be in the best interests of Infinity and the shareholders.

The Board recommends you vote

FOR

ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Infinity’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the 2014 Fiscal Year.

PROPOSAL 3:

TO APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted in July 2010, requires that we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As described in detail below under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” we seek to closely align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our shareholders. We structure our programs to discourage excessive risk-taking through a balanced use of compensation vehicles and metrics with an overall goal of delivering sustained long-term shareholder value while aligning our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. Further, our programs require that a substantial portion of each NEO’s compensation be contingent on delivering performance results that benefit our shareholders. Our compensation programs are designed to reward our NEOs for the achievement of short-term and long-term strategic and operational goals and the achievement of increased total shareholder return.

The vote on this matter is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our NEOs, as described in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company, our Board, or the Compensation Committee. The Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program.

Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosure.

The Board recommends you vote

FOR

approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

General

Infinity is an Ohio corporation and, therefore, governed by the corporate laws of Ohio. Because our stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and we file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are also subject to NASDAQ rules as well as various provisions of federal securities laws.

Governance of the corporation is placed in the hands of the directors who, in turn, elect officers to manage the business operations. The Board of Directors oversees the management of Infinity on your behalf. It reviews Infinity’s long-term strategic plans and exercises direct decision making authority in all major decisions, such as acquisitions, the declaration of dividends and undertaking major capital and financing initiatives.

The full Board of Directors met five times during 2013. During 2013, each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held by the Board and by the Committees on which the director served. The independent members of the Board met three times in 2013 without the presence of management directors.

Our policy is to require director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. Our Chairman excused two directors, who were both unable to travel for medical reasons, from attending the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; however, all other directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors has chosen not to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) but has utilized a lead director (the “Lead Director”) since 2004. On May 21, 2013, the independent directors re-appointed Drayton Nabers, Jr. to serve as the Lead Director and to preside at all Board and Executive Committee meetings until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is appointed. Our Board, acting through its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined, at this time, to continue to utilize a leadership structure of combining the roles of Chairman and CEO based upon the following:

•

The Company maintains a strong and independent Lead Director, as evidenced by the following:

•

The Lead Director has prior experience serving as Chairman of a publicly-traded insurance company and is therefore able to act as a strong, independent voice for the independent directors.

•

The Lead Director resides in Birmingham and is able to meet, in person, with management and serve as a liaison between management and the independent directors in between meetings of the Board.

•

The Lead Director reviews and approves the agendas for Board meetings.

•

The Board has established a practice of naming the Lead Director as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

•

The Lead Director frequently meets with the independent directors outside of the presence of management in executive sessions of Board meetings and, less formally, on the evening preceding Board meetings.

•

Our Board believes that an active, independent Lead Director can be just as effective in implementing the corporate governance objectives designed to be achieved by separating the roles of Chairman and CEO.

•

The last five directors (including Ms. Brock-Kyle) nominated to our Board were nominated based upon the recommendation of an independent director, not the CEO or any other employee director, and none of the current independent directors were nominated based upon the recommendation of the CEO or any other employee director, which indicates a lack of “Board capture” by the CEO.

Risk Oversight

The Company’s management, including and under the supervision of the CEO, has the primary responsibility for managing risks to the Company, subject to Board oversight. The Board has delegated certain of its risk oversight responsibilities to various Board committees. Specifically, the Board has assigned oversight of the Company’s risk management policies and procedures for risks associated with the Company’s investment portfolio to the Investment Committee and for risks associated with the Company’s compensation polices and practices to the Compensation Committee. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility for oversight of the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, except to the extent that such responsibility is delegated to the Investment or Compensation Committee or otherwise retained by the Board. All Board committees regularly report to the Board regarding matters considered and actions taken at committee meetings. Nevertheless, the Board believes that responsibility for oversight of the Company’s risk management efforts ultimately resides with the entire Board. As such, in 2013, the Board reviewed and discussed the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and its risk appetite and tolerance thresholds as part of a strategic planning session between the Board and senior management.

The Company has historically conducted annual enterprise risk assessment surveys to identify, monitor and assess risk exposures. Survey participants include the Company’s NEOs, Board members and certain senior managers and professionals in key departments. The survey results are considered by the Board and management in conjunction with the Company’s strategic planning process. The Company uses the survey results to identify the most critical risks facing the Company and to assist in its efforts to assess and monitor and to mitigate, control or avoid such risks.

In 2010, management assembled a Risk Management Committee (the “Risk Committee”), consisting of Messrs. Smith and Simon and other members of management from the Company’s operational, legal, accounting, and finance departments. This Risk Committee has considered and continues to consider information in the aforementioned survey results to further expound the meaning and nature of and interconnectivity among risk areas. During 2013, the Risk Committee regularly provided the Audit Committee with its findings related to the Company’s risk oversight function and, as necessary, management’s plans to maintain the Company’s risk within the risk tolerance thresholds established by the Board.

THE COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The directors have organized themselves into the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee, Investment Committee, Executive Committee, and Compensation Committee. Each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance, Audit, Investment, and Compensation Committees is composed

exclusively of Non-Employee Directors that meet the relevant independence requirements established by the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and Securities Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 that apply to their particular assignments. Our Board has determined that all nominees for election to the Board, with the exception of Mr. Gober, meet the independence standards of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605. Each committee’s charter is available under the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.infinityauto.com. Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics, which is available under the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.infinityauto.com and which applies to all directors, executive officers, and employees of the Company. A copy of the Code of Ethics will also be provided without charge upon written request sent to our Corporate Secretary at the address shown on the cover page of this Proxy Statement. To the extent permitted by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5610, any amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics will be posted on our website within four business days after the date of an amendment. Any amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics may be disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the SEC either in addition to or in lieu of the website disclosure.

Our Board has adopted a process to facilitate written communications by shareholders to the Board. Shareholders who wish to write to the Board or a specified director or committee of the Board should send correspondence to the Corporate Secretary at 3700 Colonnade Parkway, Suite 600, Birmingham, Alabama 35243. All communications received from shareholders are screened by the Corporate Secretary and, other than trivial or obscene items, are forwarded to the full Board, or to a specific Board member or committee if designated by the shareholder. Trivial items will be delivered to the Board at its next scheduled meeting. Anyone who wishes to communicate with a specific Board member or committee should send instructions asking that the submitted communication be forwarded to the director or to the appropriate committee chairman.

NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Drayton Nabers, Jr. (Chairman), Harold E. Layman, and Samuel J. Weinhoff and met two times during 2013. Our Board of Directors has established a Charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is available under the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.infinityauto.com and is reviewed annually by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Under the terms of its Charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for considering and making recommendations concerning the composition, function, and needs of the Board and reviewing, evaluating and developing corporate governance guidelines. In fulfilling its duties, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, among other things, shall:

•

identify individuals qualified to be Board members consistent with criteria established by the Board;

•

lead all performance evaluations of the Board or of any Board committee;

•

recommend nominees to the Board for the next annual meeting of shareholders;

•

review the structure of the Board and its committees;

•

review each non-employee director’s relationships with the Company and recommend to the Board which directors should qualify as “independent” under applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules;

•

consider matters of corporate governance and establish and review the Corporate Governance Guidelines implemented by the Board;

•

consider issues involving possible conflicts of interest of Board members or the Company’s senior executives;

•

review and establish all matters pertaining to compensation, benefits, fees, and retainers paid to directors; and

•

consider and review on an annual basis the succession plans for the Company’s NEOs, with the succession planning for the CEO to be considered in conjunction with the Board.

Directors, members of management, shareholders, or industry or professional organizations may suggest nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also able to use the services of a third-party executive search firm to assist it in identifying and evaluating possible nominees for director.

In identifying and considering candidates for nomination to our Board, whether recommended by officers, directors, shareholders or others, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, in addition to the requirements set out in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, the needs of Infinity, the range of talent and experience represented on the Board, and the personal qualities of a candidate that might contribute to the overall diversity of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also evaluates the ability of a nominee to devote the time and attention necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities. Shareholders desiring to submit recommendations for nominations by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to the Board should direct them to the Corporate Secretary at the address shown on the cover page of this Proxy Statement.

Upon the recommendation of Mr. Weinhoff, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered Angela Brock-Kyle as a potential candidate for the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended at its February 25, 2014 meeting that the Board nominate the current independent directors and Mr. Gober for re-election and Ms. Brock-Kyle for election as directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, as set forth below, of each such director and nominee in recommending the nominees to serve on the Board of Directors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

General

The Audit Committee is composed of Samuel J. Weinhoff (Chairman), Harold E. Layman, E. Robert Meaney, and William Stancil Starnes and met four times during 2013. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the financial literacy requirements under the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Weinhoff is an “audit committee financial expert.” The Board based this determination upon Mr. Weinhoff’s previous work experience, which has included preparing GAAP and statutory basis financial statements for a large property and casualty insurer, serving as an insurance industry analyst at a major investment bank, serving as an investment banker in the insurance industry, and teaching statutory accounting classes. All members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that term is used in the NASDAQ Listing Rules and under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Our Board of Directors has established a Charter for the Audit Committee, which is available under the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.infinityauto.com and is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Auditor”). The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our Independent Auditor. The Audit Committee also evaluates information received from the Independent Auditor and management to determine whether the Independent Auditor is independent of management. The Independent Auditor reports directly to the Audit Committee. Ernst & Young was the Independent Auditor retained by the Audit Committee for the 2013 fiscal year. Representatives from Ernst & Young will attend the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by Infinity concerning accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, and has established procedures for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of any concerns they may have regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

FEES PAID TO INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The Audit Committee approved all of the fees provided below. Aggregate fees billed by Ernst & Young for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were:


	2013		2012
Audit Fees	$	1,359,009	$	1,313,995
Audit-Related Fees		0		0
Tax Fees		0		0
All Other Fees		0		0

	$	1,359,009	$	1,313,995

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Audit Committee, or its Chairman, pre-approves all audit and non-audit services (including the fees and terms of the services) performed by our Independent Auditor prior to the commencement of such services. The Chairman reports to the full Audit Committee at each of its meetings, and the Audit Committee considers and ratifies, where appropriate, those items that the Chairman properly authorized between meetings. For these purposes, the Audit Committee or its Chairman is provided with information as to the nature, extent, and purpose

of each proposed service, as well as the approximate timeframe and proposed cost arrangements for that service. No non-audit services were performed by our Independent Auditor during 2013 or 2012.

The Audit Committee has submitted the following report to shareholders:

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

On February 21, 2013, the Audit Committee retained Ernst & Young as Infinity’s independent public accounting firm for fiscal year 2013. At its meeting on February 25, 2014, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young the results of the 2013 audit, including the audited financial statements and the assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls. The Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young the matters that are required to be discussed by the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), including PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16. Ernst & Young provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young that firm’s independence and determined that Ernst & Young was independent.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that Infinity’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Respectfully submitted,

Audit Committee

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and the level of compensation of our NEOs, which consist of:

•

James R. Gober, Chairman, CEO, and President;

•

Roger Smith, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer;

•

Samuel J. Simon, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant Secretary;

•

Glen N. Godwin, Senior Vice President, Business Development; and

•

Scott C. Pitrone, Senior Vice President, Product Management.

Executive Summary

2013 Compensation Decisions

We took the following executive compensation actions in 2013:

•

We did not change the salaries of Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone in 2013.

•

We paid annual incentives to the NEOs that were 118.5% of target.

•

We granted Performance Share Units to our NEOs to incentivize long-term performance over the 3-year 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle.

•

We determined that the Performance Share Units granted to our NEOs in 2011 under the Second Amended and Restated 2008 Performance Share Plan (the “Performance Share Plan”) for the 2011-2013 Performance Measurement Cycle paid out at 186.24% of target. This payout resulted in our NEOs receiving shares of common stock.

In the aggregate:

•

The total cash compensation (the sum of salary and annual incentive compensation) for the NEOs, as a group, increased by 3.2% for 2013 compared to 2012.

•

Total direct compensation (the sum of salary, annual incentive compensation, and the payout from the Performance Share Plan) for the NEOs, as a group, increased by 65.7% for 2013 compared to 2012, driven almost exclusively by an increase in the Performance Share Plan payout from 40.27% in 2012 to 186.24% in 2013.

2014 Compensation Decisions

We made the following compensation decisions in early 2014 related to our NEOs:

•

We increased Mr. Gober’s salary and target annual incentive opportunity by 2.9%. This is the only increase in Mr. Gober’s salary or target annual incentive opportunity during his tenure as CEO, except for a company-wide salary adjustment in 2005 to offset the impact of a newly incurred city income tax.

•

We increased the salary and target annual incentive opportunity for each of the remaining NEOs from 3.3% to 5.2% and from 6.7% to 12.5%, respectively.

•

We established performance targets for the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2014 performance.

•

We granted Performance Units to our NEOs under the Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”) and established Performance Goals for the 2014-2016 Performance Period.

2013 Say-on-Pay Vote Results

At our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Infinity held an advisory vote on the compensation of its NEOs, commonly referred to as a say-on-pay vote. Our shareholders overwhelmingly approved the compensation of our NEOs, with over 99% of votes cast in favor of our 2013 say-on-pay resolution. Based on the results of the 2013 say-on-pay vote, the Compensation Committee concluded that the compensation paid to our NEOs and our overall pay practices have strong shareholder support and do not require substantial revision to address shareholder concerns.

Roles of the Committee, Compensation Consultant and Management

The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of independent directors and is responsible for determining the compensation of our CEO and other NEOs. The Compensation Committee receives assistance during its evaluation process from: (1) Pearl Meyer & Partners (“PM&P”), the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant; and (2) our CEO.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our CEO’s and NEOs’ compensation annually and makes determinations regarding adjustments and other changes in salary, annual incentive, and long-term incentive plans.

Our CEO reviews the compensation of the other NEOs annually and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding base salary, annual incentive, and long-term incentive compensation plans.

Our Compensation Committee chose not to use outside compensation consulting services prior to establishing 2013 executive compensation for the following reasons:

•

the Compensation Committee believed the current compensation levels for the NEOs remained adequate,

•

the Compensation Committee was satisfied with the performance results achieved under the existing compensation structure,

•

neither the Compensation Committee nor management was proposing to add any new compensation components or significantly change any existing compensation component, and

•

there was no significant change in any NEO’s duties or responsibilities subsequent to PMP’s last review of executive compensation in 2010.

During its March 1, 2013 meeting, our Compensation Committee considered the recommendations of Mr. Gober in establishing the 2013 compensation packages for the NEOs, other than himself, and in evaluating their performance, contributions, and the potential for further career advancement. At this meeting, the

Compensation Committee elected to maintain base salaries for the NEOs at the then current level, to maintain the target incentive amounts (as further described herein) for each NEO at the same level established in 2012, and to award an equal number of Performance Share Units for the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle to each NEO.

In 2013, PM&P was retained by and reported directly to the Compensation Committee. PM&P, at the Compensation Committee’s request, regularly provides independent advice on current trends in compensation design, and provides executive compensation data and compensation program proposals to assist in evaluating and setting the overall structure of our executive compensation program and the compensation levels of our NEOs. PM&P does not provide any services to the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates other than advising the Compensation Committee on director and executive officer compensation. The Compensation Committee evaluated whether any work performed by PM&P raised any conflict of interest and determined that it did not.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our Compensation Committee focuses on the dual objectives of motivating the NEOs primarily through incentive plans of both short and long-term duration and also retaining them over the long-term. Currently, the incentive plans consist of a cash incentive plan based on the achievement of annual performance goals and an equity incentive plan that provides payouts in common stock based on the achievement of long-term goals. Our Compensation Committee believes compensation should be designed with sufficient base compensation to be market competitive and to avoid excessive turnover, while also containing a sufficient “at-risk” component to provide the NEOs with an incentive to perform at or above expectations.

While our Compensation Committee believes incentive compensation should include both a short and a long-term component, the Compensation Committee has not formulated any particular benchmark with respect to the percentage of compensation that should come from each component. Our Compensation Committee considers a number of factors when establishing or recommending overall compensation for the NEOs. These factors include, but are not limited to:

•

the extent to which corporate financial performance objectives have been met,

•

the scope of an individual’s responsibility and ability to influence the Company’s results and strategic initiatives,

•

financial performance over a sustained period of time,

•

the alignment of the interests of management with our Company’s shareholders,

•

the compensation levels and practices of peer group companies, and

•

the level of an individual’s experience, past performance and future potential.

It is also our Compensation Committee’s view that when considering compensation programs for employees, those occupying the highest positions of authority and responsibility should have a larger portion of their compensation tied to long-term performance and such compensation should be linked more closely to the performance of the Company’s common stock, i.e. equity-based, as compared to those employees occupying lower level positions of authority and responsibility. The Company uses performance share/unit awards in furtherance of this philosophy.

On an annual basis, our Compensation Committee approves incentive plans for the NEOs. Our Compensation Committee believes the Company’s operational performance is guided by two primary factors, combined ratio and growth in written premiums, which management must balance to obtain optimum results. Therefore, the annual and long-term incentive compensation plans for the NEOs contain performance goals based on these two factors, i.e. accident-year combined ratio and growth in written premiums, measured either discretely or in combination with each other. Additionally, our Compensation Committee believes a return metric

is an important measure of the financial performance of the Company, and thus of significant importance to shareholders. For 2013, our Compensation Committee chose to use operating return on equity as the return metric.

Similar to prior years, growth in gross written premiums, accident-year combined ratio, and operating return on equity were components of the NEOs’ 2013 annual incentive compensation. Similar measures are in place for the three-year performance period associated with our Performance Share Plan, including Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio and Growth in Net Written Premiums as the primary measures coupled with a multiplier based upon profitable growth in targeted markets. Since the majority of the incentive compensation attainable under both the annual and long-term incentive plans is contingent upon underwriting profitability (as opposed to rewarding growth in premiums without regard to profitability or rewarding gains arising from the Company’s investment portfolio), the Compensation Committee believes the incentive compensation plans do not encourage our NEOs to take unnecessary or excessive risks and are directly related to the Company’s financial goals and long-term strategy.

Principal Guides and Benchmarks Used for Setting Executive Compensation

2013 Executive Compensation Review

In 2013, our Compensation Committee engaged PM&P for the following:

•

to assist in selecting a peer group of companies from which to evaluate the pay levels, including salary and short- and long-term incentive compensation, for each NEO,

•

to compare target pay for the NEOs against the Company’s peer group and identify whether the compensation for any of the NEOs should be adjusted to better align with the peer group,

•

to evaluate the alignment of the NEOs’ actual pay and the Company’s performance against the peer group and determine whether the Company’s relative NEO compensation is appropriately aligned with the Company’s performance, and

•

to review the NEOs’ employment agreements and the Company’s short- and long-term incentive compensation plans and advise on the appropriateness of the terms and conditions contained in such agreements and plans.

PM&P does not currently and has not previously conducted any business directly with the Company. PM&P performs services only for and at the behest of the Compensation Committee.

In its 2013 assessment, PM&P recommended, and our Compensation Committee concurred, that executive pay should be analyzed against the following peer group (the “Peer Group”):

Donegal Group, Inc.

EMC Insurance Group, Inc.

Mercury General Corporation

National Interstate Corporation

ProAssurance Corporation

RLI Corp.

Safety Insurance Group, Inc.

Selective Insurance Group, Inc.

State Auto Financial Corporation

United Fire Group, Inc.

In performing its 2013 assessment, PM&P examined the executive compensation data furnished in the 2013 proxy statements of the Peer Group companies along with data compiled in compensation surveys. PM&P also examined the prior one- and three-year financial performance data, with a focus on revenue and gross written

premium growth and on book value, profitability, and operating return on equity in accordance with the Company’s strategy.

The Company was at or above the 75^th percentile versus the Peer Group in size, growth, and profitability measures including the key performance criteria used in the annual and equity incentive plans during the three years covered by the study (2010-2012).

The Compensation Committee considered the results of PM&P’s review and its recommendations in establishing 2014 executive compensation and intends to further consult with PM&P during 2014 regarding potential equity awards and the upcoming expiration of the NEOs’ employment agreements.

2013 Executive Compensation Components

Our Compensation Committee chose, as has been the practice in prior years, to compensate the NEOs through each of the compensation components summarized in the following table and described in greater detail below. The Compensation Committee based this decision upon i) its satisfaction with the historical performance results achieved under the philosophy and design of our existing compensation program, ii) existing contractual obligations to provide certain minimum levels of compensation to the NEOs, and iii) its compensation consultant, PM&P, having not recommended against the use of any of those components or having advocated the use of any alternative components.


Component	Purpose	Summary Description	Significant Changes since Last Year’s Proxy Statement
Salary	To provide a consistent base level of compensation commensurate with an NEO’s duties and responsibilities.	Consists of a fixed amount paid on a bi-weekly basis.

Salary

Minimum salaries for each of the NEOs are established pursuant to existing employment agreements. There was no change to any NEO’s salary in 2013.

•

Annual Performance Incentive Plans

The Annual Executive Bonus Plan was established and approved by our shareholders in 2010. Our Compensation Committee structured the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2013 based on the attainment of certain performance goals related to three performance measures: operating return on equity, statutory accident-year combined ratio, and growth in gross written premiums. In establishing performance targets under both the Annual Executive Bonus Plan and the Performance Share Plan, our Compensation Committee considers the following factors: i) alignment of the targets with the Company’s annual budget and long-term strategic plan, which are reviewed and approved by the Board, ii) the Company’s cost of capital, iii) industry trends and the competitive environment, and iv) prevailing macroeconomic conditions.

The table below identifies the target and maximum award opportunities under the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2013, in which all NEOs participated. The maximum award is 200% of the target award.


Executive	Target	Maximum
James R. Gober	$558,800	$1,117,600
Roger Smith	$235,000	$470,000
Samuel J. Simon	$300,000	$600,000
Glen N. Godwin	$200,000	$400,000
Scott C. Pitrone	$200,000	$400,000

Weightings were assigned to each performance measure in the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2013, as follows:

•

A 20% weighting was assigned to Operating Return on Equity.

•

A 50% weighting was assigned to Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio.

•

A 30% weighting was assigned to Growth in Gross Written Premiums.

Each NEO was subject to the same performance targets for each of these three performance measures. The performance targets under the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2013 were as follows:

Operating Return on Equity (20% weighting)


Target		Percentage Payout
10.0% or above		200%
6.0%		150%
5.0%		100%
4.0% or below		0%

Actual 2013 Operating Return on Equity = 4.5% (equating to 50% of target or 10% of each NEO’s

target bonus base)

“Operating Return on Equity” means net earnings less (1) realized gains/losses on investments, net of tax; less (2) loss on redemption of debt, net of tax as a percentage of average equity.

Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio (50% weighting)


Target		Percentage Payout
95.0% or below		200%
96.0%		150%
97.0%		100%
98.0% or above		0%

Actual 2013 Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio = 96.40% (equating to 130% of target or 65.0% of each NEO’s target bonus base)

“Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio” means the Statutory Combined Ratio (defined below) less favorable/unfavorable development on prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserves plus GAAP agent balances and premium receivables charged off.

“Statutory Combined Ratio” means the sum of the following ratios: (i) losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred as a percentage of net earned premium and (ii) underwriting expenses incurred, net of fees, as a percentage of net written premium.

Growth in Gross Written Premiums (30% weighting)


Target		Percentage Payout
9.0% or above		200%
7.0%		150%
5.0%		100%
1.0% or below		0%

Actual 2013 Growth in Gross Written Premiums = 6.8% (equating to 145% of target or 43.5% of each NEO’s target bonus base)

Straight-line interpolation was used to determine the NEOs’ payouts for those performance results falling between the designated performance targets.

On February 28, 2014, the incentive compensation under the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2013 for each of our NEOs was determined by our Compensation Committee to be 118.5% of each NEO’s target amount. The amount of the 2013 payout for each NEO is listed in the table below:


Executive	Target		Actual Award		% of Target
James R. Gober	$	558,800		$662,178		118.5	%
Roger Smith	$	235,000		$278,475		118.5	%
Samuel J. Simon	$	300,000		$355,500		118.5	%
Glen N. Godwin	$	200,000		$237,000		118.5	%
Scott C. Pitrone	$	200,000		$237,000		118.5	%

•

Performance Share Plan

As noted above, our Compensation Committee believes a meaningful portion of an NEO’s overall compensation should be equity-based. In 2008, our Board and shareholders approved the 2008 Performance Share Plan. In 2008, our Board amended the 2008 Performance Share Plan to reduce the number of shares available for issuance to 500,000 from 1,000,000. In 2010, our Board and shareholders approved the Second and Amended 2008 Performance Share Plan. At the conclusion of each three-year Performance Measurement Cycle, which begins on January 1^st of year 1 and ends on December 31^st of year 3, each Performance Share Unit will convert to between 0 to 3 shares of common stock depending on the performance results.

Results of the 2011 – 2013 Performance Measurement Cycle

On February 28, 2011, our Compensation Committee approved an award of 5,933 Performance Share Units to each NEO for the 2011-2013 Performance Measurement Cycle. In determining the conversion ratio, actual performance was measured against the pre-established 2011-2013 Performance Component Targets, which consisted of i) a matrix with the performance results for the annual Growth in Net Written Premiums on one axis and the Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio on the other axis, which is used to establish an initial payout ratio of between 0% to 200%, and ii) the Compound Annual Growth Rate in Urban Zone Net Written Premiums performance, which allows for the initial payout ratio to be increased by up to 1.5 times, thus resulting in a potential payout of between 0% to 300%. The Performance Component Targets for the 2011-2013 Performance Measurement Cycle were as follows:


Performance Measure	Threshold			Target			Maximum
Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio		100.5	%		98.5	%		97.0	%
Growth in Net Written Premiums		0.0	%		8.5	%		12.5	%

The initial payout ratio was 0% at or below “Threshold” performance, 100% at “Target” performance, and 200% at or above “Maximum” performance, subject to enhancement as set forth below:

Actual Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio = 98.15% (just below target)

Actual Growth in Net Written Premiums = 11.99% (just below maximum)

Actual Initial Payout Ratio = 148.99%


Compound Annual Growth Rate in Urban Zone Net Written Premiums	Multiplier
<10.0%		1.00
10.0%-15.0%		1.25
>15.0%		1.50

Actual Compound Annual Growth Rate in Urban Zone Net Written Premiums = 11.93%

Actual Urban Zone Multiplier = 1.25

Actual Final Payout Ratio = 148.99% x 125.0% = 186.24%

“Growth in Net Written Premiums” means the growth in premiums written on all policies the Company has issued during the period, net of reinsurance.

“Compound Annual Growth Rate in Urban Zone Net Written Premiums” means the compound annual growth rate of premiums written on all policies the Company has issued in designated Urban Zones, net of reinsurance.

Straight-line interpolation was used to determine the conversion ratio for performance results that fell between the points on the 2011-2013 Performance Compensation Matrix.

On February 28, 2014, our Compensation Committee determined that each Performance Share Unit awarded under the Performance Share Plan for the 2011-2013 Performance Measurement Cycle should convert to 1.8624 shares of common stock, thereby resulting in a payout, to be distributed on April 15, 2014, of 11,049 shares to each NEO.

2013 – 2015 Performance Measurement Cycle

On March 1, 2013, our Compensation Committee approved an award of 6,479 Performance Share Units to each NEO for the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle. In determining the number of Performance Share Units to award, the Compensation Committee divided the average of the intraday high and low price of the Company’s common stock for the last five trading days of calendar year 2012 into $375,000 and rounding up to arrive at the Performance Share Unit award for each NEO.

In determining the conversion ratio, actual performance will be measured against the pre-established 2013-2015 Performance Component Targets, which consist of i) a matrix with the performance results for the annual Growth in Net Written Premiums on one axis and the Statutory Accident-Year Combined Ratio on the other axis, to establish an initial payout ratio of between 0% to 200%, and ii) a matrix with the Compound Annual Growth Rate in Gross Written Premiums in targeted markets on one axis and the Accident Year Combined Ratio in the same targeted markets on the other axis to establish a multiplier of 1.0 to 1.5, which allows for the initial payout ratio to be increased by up to 1.5 times, thus resulting in a potential payout of between 0% to 300%.

•

Restricted Stock

The Compensation Committee believes the restricted stock grants made in 2011, which will fully vest on August 2, 2014, continue to provide an adequate retention incentive for the NEOs. As such, no restricted stock grants were made to the NEOs during 2013. However, the Compensation Committee will consider making another restricted stock grant in 2014 upon the vesting of the restricted stock granted in 2011.

•

Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company matches employee contributions to the 401(k) plan in an amount equal to 100% of the first 4% of a participant’s deferral contribution and 50% of the next 2% of a participant’s deferral contribution, subject to Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) qualified defined contribution plans limits.

The Company maintains the SERP in which employees, including NEOs, earning in excess of the IRC annual compensation limit may participate. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company amended the SERP to permit a participant to make contributions into the SERP by deferring a portion of his or her compensation that exceeds the IRC annual compensation limit and to receive a Company matching contribution on such deferrals in an amount equal to 100% of the first 4% of a participant’s deferral contribution and 50% of the next 2% of a participant’s deferral contribution.

The Company also maintains the DCP into which any eligible participant, including the NEOs, may elect to defer from 5% to 80% of his or her base salary during any calendar year period and/or from 10% to 80% of any direct lump sum incentive payment. The Company does not have a defined benefit retirement plan for its employees, including its NEOs.

•

Perquisites

It is the Company’s philosophy to limit the type and amount of perquisites that it provides to its executives, including its NEOs. As disclosed in the Summary Compensation Tables, Mr. Gober received a personal automobile allowance, and Messrs. Gober, Smith, and Godwin received automobile and homeowner’s insurance premium reimbursements.

Employment Agreements / Change-in-Control Arrangements

The Company has employment agreements with Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone that will expire on August 2, 2014. The NEOs’ employment agreements contain a “double trigger” for payment of severance benefits upon a change-in-control (meaning that an executive is entitled to severance benefits only upon the occurrence of both a change-in-control and termination of employment, as defined in the agreements). Our Board believes such an arrangement is more beneficial to the Company than employment agreements providing for severance benefits solely upon a change-in-control. The employment agreements provide for a base salary of at least $558,800, $312,000, $406,400, $270,000, and $252,000 for Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, respectively, and an annual incentive opportunity for each NEO. Pursuant to the employment agreements, the annual incentive target must be equal to at least 100% of Mr. Gober’s annual salary, and at least $235,000, $300,000, $200,000, and $200,000 for Messrs. Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, respectively.

Each NEO’s employment agreement provides for certain severance benefits in the event that the NEO’s employment with the Company is terminated. If Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, or is terminated by the executive for “good reason,” which includes, among other things, the assignment to the executive of any duties inconsistent with the executive’s status as an executive officer of the Company (including by reason of the Company becoming a

subsidiary, or under the control, of a company not an affiliate of Infinity), the agreements provide that the executive will receive payment of:

•

two times the executive’s most recent salary in a lump sum payment;

•

a lump-sum payment of $558,800, $235,000, $300,000, $200,000, and $200,000 for Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, respectively, pro-rated based on the actual number of days elapsed in the year in which the executive’s termination takes place, plus $1,117,600, $470,000, $600,000, $400,000, and $400,000 for Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, respectively;

•

allowance providing that any outstanding options issued under the 2002 Stock Option Plan shall remain exercisable through the remaining term of such options (there are presently no options outstanding);

•

100% vesting of restricted shares;

•

lump-sum payment in lieu of a contribution into the executive’s 401(k) or SERP account with the amount of the company match being equal to the executive’s eligible wages and deferral election in effect at the time of termination for a period of 18 months; and

•

payment of the executive’s life insurance and medical and dental benefits for a period of 18 months after termination.

In the event of an NEO’s death or disability, the NEO (or the NEO’s estate) will receive a lump sum payment equal to $558,800, $235,000, $300,000, $200,000, and $200,000 for Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, respectively, pro rated based upon the actual number of days elapsed in the year in which the NEO’s termination takes place. Mr. Gober is entitled to accelerated, pro rata vesting of restricted stock upon qualified retirement, provided that at least 50% of the time between the date of grant and date of vesting has elapsed as of the date of such retirement. Regardless of the manner in which an NEO’s employment is terminated, an NEO is entitled to receive amounts earned but unpaid during the NEO’s term of employment. These amounts include accrued but unpaid salary, payment of accrued but unused vacation time, and reimbursement of any incurred business expenses prior to the date of termination. Additionally, an NEO will be entitled to receive all amounts, if any, accrued and vested under our 401(k) Plan, the DCP, and the SERP. All payments set forth in the employment agreement shall be paid in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the IRC.

Pursuant to the terms of each NEO’s employment agreement, each NEO agrees to the following restrictions during the term of the NEO’s employment and for a period of 24 months following the NEO’s termination of employment:

•

Non-Competition. The executive agrees not to compete against the Company.

•

Non-Diversion. The executive agrees not to divert customers or take advantage of business opportunities of which the executive becomes aware during his employment with the Company.

•

Non-Recruitment. The executive agrees not to solicit, induce or influence or attempt to solicit, induce or influence any employee of the Company to leave his or her employment.

•

Non-Disclosure. The executive agrees not to disclose confidential information of the Company.

•

Litigation Cooperation. The executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s expense, by making himself available to testify on behalf of the Company in any action, suit or proceeding and to provide information to the Company or its counsel in regards to such action, suit or proceeding.

•

Non-Disparagement. Both the Company and the executive agree not to make disparaging statements about each other; however, neither party is precluded from making truthful statements or disclosures as required by law, regulation or the legal process.

Additional Considerations

Executive Share Ownership Guidelines

To further align the interests of management with the Company’s long-term shareholders, the Board of Directors adopted stock ownership guidelines in July 2006, which were amended on February 26, 2008 and on August 2, 2011. The amended stock ownership guidelines provide that the CEO should own Company stock equal to five (5) times his or her salary and each of the remaining NEOs should own Company stock equal to three (3) times his or her salary. Each executive subject to the stock ownership guidelines is required to retain 100% of the after-tax equity received by such executive through the vesting, on or after January 1, 2008, of any performance share or restricted stock grant, until such officer has satisfied his or her minimum stock ownership requirement. The determination of the share value and the executive’s base salary shall be based on the market value of the shares and the executive’s base salary on the preceding trading day ahead of any proposed sale or relinquishment of shares by the executive. In the event of economic hardship, our Compensation Committee may temporarily waive (or in the case of any NEO other than the CEO, our CEO may waive) compliance with the restriction on the sale of Company stock by an executive prior to such executive’s satisfaction of the minimum stock ownership requirements. No waivers from the stock ownership guidelines were requested or granted during 2013. Only equity in vested, non-derivative, and unencumbered shares of common stock shall be counted toward satisfying the stock ownership requirements. NEOs are expected to notify the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at least 48 hours in advance of any planned sale of common stock received as a restricted stock or performance share grant. As of March 24, 2014 and including the effect of the April 15, 2014 conversion of performance share units into shares of common stock, each NEO satisfies the requisite ownership thresholds set forth in the amended stock ownership guidelines.

Impact of Tax Regulations

Section 162(m)

Our Compensation Committee considers the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the IRC when considering compensation awards. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the CEO and the Company’s other “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m), except for compensation that is performance-based under a plan that is approved by the shareholders and that meets certain other technical requirements. It is the policy of our Compensation Committee to periodically consider whether particular compensation and incentive payments to the Company’s executives will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Company believes that none of the executive compensation paid in 2013 exceeds the limits for deductibility under Section 162(m). Our Compensation Committee retains the ability to evaluate the performance of the Company’s executives and to compensate executives appropriately, even if it may result in the non-deductibility of certain compensation under applicable tax laws and regulations.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the compensation for the NEOs and for administering Infinity’s equity-based compensation plans. Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K as well as the accompanying tables, and based on this review and discussion has recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement.

(3)	Represents the grant date fair value of the award, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based upon the assumption that actual performance will be at the targeted performance level.

In keeping with his egalitarian-based philosophy towards executive compensation, Mr. Gober advised our Compensation Committee in 2008 that he would prefer that each NEO receive an identical annual award of Performance Share Units. In 2013, our Compensation Committee elected to award all NEOs an identical grant of Performance Share Units at its March 1, 2013 meeting. For further information regarding the Annual Executive Bonus Plan for 2013, the Performance Share Plan and the Performance Measurement Cycle for 2013-2015, please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.

(1)	The closing price of the Company’s stock on February 13, 2004, the date of grant, was $32.12. $33.58 reflects the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2004, the day before the date of grant.

(2)	Represents restricted stock vesting on August 2, 2014.

(3)

Represents Performance Share Units awarded for the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle (as such terms are defined in the Performance Share Plan). Each Performance Share Unit will convert into 0 to 3 shares of common stock based upon actual performance vis-à-vis the pre-established Performance Component Targets (as defined in the Performance Share Plan) for the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle.

(4)

Represents Performance Share Units awarded for the 2012-2014 Performance Measurement Cycle (as such terms are defined in the Performance Share Plan). Each Performance Share Unit will convert into 0 to 3 shares of common stock based upon actual performance vis-à-vis the pre-established Performance Component Targets (as defined in the Performance Share Plan) for the 2012-2014 Performance Measurement Cycle.

(5)

Represents payout value at the target performance level under the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle and at the maximum performance level under the 2012-2014 Performance Measurement Cycle with each Performance Share Unit converting into 1 and 3 shares of common stock, respectively. Since performance under the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle exceeds the threshold performance level, the Company is required to disclose the payout value at the target performance level. Since performance under the 2012-2014 Performance Measurement Cycle exceeds the target performance level, the Company is required to disclose the payout value at the maximum performance level. Under the 2013-2015 Performance Measurement Cycle, payout value at the maximum performance level would be equal to three times the disclosed amount. Under the 2012-2014 Performance Measurement Cycle, payout value at the target performance level would be equal to one-third the disclosed amount.

Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, respectively.

The table above contains data relating to two separate plans. One of these plans is the DCP, effective as of February 19, 2003, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2005. Certain members of management, including Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, are eligible to participate in the DCP. For calendar year 2013, the interest rate paid on balances in the DCP was 5.0%. A participant in the DCP may elect to defer from 5% to 80% of his or her base salary during any calendar year period and/or from 10% to 80% of any direct lump sum incentive payment other than a long-term incentive compensation payment. Additionally, a participant is not permitted to make a deferral election that would reduce a participant’s paid compensation below the amount necessary to satisfy applicable employment taxes (e.g. FICA/Medicare) on amounts deferred, benefit plan withholding requirements, or income tax withholding for compensation that cannot be deferred. Upon making a deferral election, the participant must decide to either defer such compensation until the participant’s termination of employment with the Company or defer such compensation until the first day of a year selected by the participant (a “Fixed Date”). However, in the event that a participant is still an employee on the Fixed Date, then such distribution will not begin until after the participant’s termination of his or her employment with the Company. Distributions begin on January 15^th or July 15^th of a calendar year following the expiration of the

participant’s employment or the Fixed Date. Pursuant to Section 409A of the IRC, the Company will generally need to wait a minimum of six (6) months following termination of employment before making a distribution to a participant. Participants may choose to receive such distributions in a lump sum payment or in annual installments, not to exceed ten (10) years. On or about November 15^th of each year, the Company, acting through the Compensation Committee, establishes the interest rate to be paid on deferred compensation balances for the upcoming year.

The other plan is the SERP, effective as of May 1, 2003, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2010. Certain members of management, including Messrs. Gober, Smith, Simon, Godwin, and Pitrone, are eligible to participate in the SERP. The SERP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to enable eligible employees to make contributions and to receive employer retirement contributions that are precluded by the provisions of the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan or by limitations on compensation which may be considered in making contributions to the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company amended the SERP to permit participants to make contributions into the SERP and the Company to make matching contributions on such participants’ contributions on compensation that exceeds the statutory annual compensation limit set forth in IRC Section 401(a)(17) of $255,000 in 2013 for qualified defined contribution plans.

Under the SERP, a participant may defer from 1% to 25% of his or her eligible compensation into the SERP. A participant is not permitted to make a deferral election that would reduce a participant’s paid compensation below the amount necessary to satisfy applicable employment taxes (e.g. FICA/Medicare) on amounts deferred, benefit plan withholding requirements, or income tax withholding for compensation that cannot be deferred. A deferral election under the SERP is applied only after any other deferral election made pursuant to another nonqualified deferred compensation plan is applied to a participant’s compensation. Each participant in the SERP directs his or her contributions into one or more of the investment options contained in the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan (excluding a stable value fund investment option, which is not available to SERP participants). Participant returns are dependent upon the performance of the investment options chosen by the participant. No participant may receive a distribution from the SERP prior to the participant’s death or the participant’s resignation, discharge, or retirement from the Company. Upon a participant’s death, the balance in the participant’s account shall be distributed to the participant’s beneficiaries in a lump sum cash payment within 90 days of the participant’s death. Upon a participant’s resignation, discharge, or retirement from the Company, the participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her SERP account balance in a lump sum or in ten or fewer equal annual installments that begin on the following January 15^th or July 15^th. A SERP participant must select the time and method of payment upon his or her enrollment in the SERP. Pursuant to Section 409A of the IRC, the Company will generally need to wait a minimum of six (6) months following termination of employment before making a distribution to a participant.

Employment Contracts / Change-in-Control Arrangements

The following table shows the compensation costs that would result, pursuant to the terms of each NEO’s employment agreement, from a termination of such NEO’s employment due to (i) Termination by the Company without Cause or by the NEO for “Good Reason,” as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, (ii) Voluntary Termination by the NEO without “Good Reason” or Termination by the Company with Cause, and (iii) Death or Disability. Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the calculations used to prepare this table assume the terminating event occurred on the last day of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year and that the price per share of the Company’s common stock is the closing market price as of the date on which the stock was last actively traded in the most recently completed fiscal year. An NEO is entitled to receive amounts earned during his term of employment regardless of the manner in which the NEO’s employment is terminated. These amounts include accrued but unpaid salary, payment of accrued but unused vacation time, and reimbursement of any incurred business expense prior to the date of termination. Except for unused vacation time, these amounts are not shown in the tables. Additionally, an NEO will be entitled to receive all amounts accrued and vested under our 401(k) Plan, the DCP, and the SERP, in which the NEO participates. These amounts will be determined and paid in accordance with the applicable plans and are not included in the tables because they are not termination payments. In order to receive the enhanced payments due to Termination by the Company without Cause or by the NEO for “Good Reason,” the NEO must enter into a binding general waiver and release of claims with the Company. For additional information on the employment contracts of the NEOs, please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Company uses a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on its Board. In setting director compensation, consideration is given to the limited pool of individuals with the necessary skills to serve as a director of a publicly-traded company and the significant time commitment required of each director, particularly with respect to the enhanced time commitments of those individuals that serve on one or more Board committees, as Chairman of a Board committee, or as Lead Director.

Cash Compensation Paid to Board Members

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, each Non-Employee Director received an annual cash retainer of $40,000. The Chairmen of the Compensation and Investment Committees each received an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000. The Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee received an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000. The Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Lead Director each received an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000. Finally, each Non-Employee Director received a cash payment of $1,500 for each Board or committee meeting attended, whether in person or telephonically. Board members who are employees of the Company are not entitled to cash compensation for their service on the Board or for attending Board or committee meetings.

Equity Compensation Paid to Board Members

The equity portion of a Non-Employee Director’s annual retainer was $55,000 in 2013. One of the reasons that the Company established the 2013 Stock Plan was for the purpose of better aligning the interests of its Non-Employee Directors with the interests of its shareholders by providing a portion of the Non-Employee Directors’ annual compensation in the form of restricted stock. Pursuant to the 2013 Stock Plan, each Non-Employee Director is entitled to receive a grant of restricted stock on or about June 1^st of each year, which becomes transferable 6 months after the date of grant. Under the 2013 Stock Plan, each Non-Employee Director annually receives $55,000 in the form of a restricted stock grant, determined by dividing the average trading price (defined as the midpoint between the intraday high and low) of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding the date of grant into $55,000. Any fractional result is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

In order to further align the Non-Employee Directors’ interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines specify that each director, within three years of receiving his or her first restricted stock grant, should beneficially own Company stock in an amount equal to at least $100,000 or three times the then-current cash portion of the annual Board retainer, whichever is less (the “Share Ownership Guidelines”). Non-Employee Directors are not permitted to dispose of shares received as part of an annual restricted stock grant until reaching the share ownership target. Furthermore, Non-Employee Directors are encouraged to retain, exclusive of any charitable contributions, beneficial ownership of any stock received as part of such Director’s annual Board retainer throughout the duration of such Director’s tenure on the Board. As of March 24, 2014, each Non-Employee Director is in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines.
