Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
On July 1, 2009, Mr. Peter E. Jokiel resigned as a member of the board of directors (the "Board") of Specialty Underwriters’ Alliance, Inc. (the "Company") effective immediately. Mr. Jokiel was a member of the Executive Committee of the Board. His decision to resign was not as a result of any disagreement with the Company or its management.
Concurrently with Mr. Jokiel’s resignation, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company (the "Committee"), the Board appointed Mark E. Pape to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Jokiel’s resignation. Mr. Pape was appointed as a director pursuant to the previously disclosed agreement entered into by and among the Company and Hallmark Financial Services, Inc. ("Hallmark"), American Hallmark Insurance Company of Texas ("American Hallmark"), Hallmark Specialty Insurance Company ("Hallmark Specialty"), Mark E. Schwarz, C. Gregory Peters, Mark E. Pape and Robert M. Fishman on June 5, 2009 (the "Agreement"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed that the Committee would meet with two individuals nominated by Hallmark and, to the extent the Committee found any such persons qualified to serve as a director of the Company, recommend one such person to the Board to be appointed as a director simultaneously with Mr. Jokiel’s resignation. Mr. Pape was appointed to the Board pursuant to this procedure.
There are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Pape. Mr. Pape has not been appointed to serve on any committees of the Board.
A copy of the press release dated July 1, 2009 announcing the appointment of Mr. Pape is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
