Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Investigates Possible Breach of Fiduciary Duty by the Board of PMA Capital Corporation - PMACA

Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of PMA Capital Corporation (“PMA Capital” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: PMACA) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Old Republic International Corporation (“Old Republic”) (NYSE:ORI). Under the terms of the transaction, PMA Capital shareholders will receive 0.55 shares of Old Republic common stock in exchange for each outstanding common share of PMA Capital, which exchange rate may be adjusted upwards or downwards depending on the price of Old Republic’s common stock preceding the closing of the merger, but will not exceed 0.60 or be less than 0.50. Based on the prior closing price of Old Republic, the transaction values PMA capital stock at approximately $7.10 per share for a total transaction value of $365 million, including the assumption of debt.

The investigation concerns whether the PMA Capital Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to PMA Capital stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Old Republic is underpaying for PMA Capital shares, thus unlawfully harming PMA Capital stockholders. In particular, PMA Capital shares traded at $7.65 as recently as May 13, 2010, the Company has a book value of $12.97 per share and at least one analyst set a price target for PMA Capital stock at $11.00 per share.
