Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) is in receipt of your comment letter dated November 1, 2012, pursuant to which you provided comments to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (File No. 001-15259). As discussed with staff accountant James Peklenk on November 20, 2012, due to an issue within our e-mail system, the comment letter was not addressed. Please accept my apologies for this unintentional oversight on the part of the Company.
We have reviewed the comments and are in the process of preparing our written response. However, as we will need to coordinate with our external auditors, we anticipate completing our response on or before December 7, 2012.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss any matter with regard to this letter, please contact me at (441) 278-3727 or Mary Stulting at (210) 321-8419.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely, |
/s/ Jay S. Bullock |
Jay S. Bullock |
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer |
