The Company announced today that the proposed merger of the Company and Mutual Capital has been approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Special Meeting. The proposed merger remains subject to certain conditions and approvals, including regulatory approvals from insurance regulators in Illinois and Pennsylvania and customary closing conditions. The Company previously announced that the closing is expected to take place by December 31, 20224; however given the timing of regulatory approvals, the Company now expects that the closing may not occur until early in the first quarter of 2025.
