Exhibit 99.3
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements set forth below are presented to reflect the pro forma effects of the merger (Merger) of AmCOMP Incorporated (AmCOMP) with a subsidiary of Employers Holdings, Inc. (Employers). The consideration in the Merger payable for each outstanding share of AmCOMP’s common stock was $12.15 in cash. In addition, all outstanding AmCOMP stock options vested by virtue of the Merger and were cancelled in consideration for a cash payment equal to the net amount of the excess, if any, of the merger consideration of $12.15 per share over the exercise price per share of the option. On October 31, 2008, the date of the Merger, AmCOMP had 15,295,462 common shares outstanding and an additional 844,650 stock options outstanding with an exercise price less than the $12.15 per share merger consideration. The total consideration for the shares and options was $188.4 million.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007, combine the respective historical unaudited and audited consolidated statements of income of Employers with the respective historical unaudited and audited consolidated statements of income of AmCOMP, each for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007, and gives effect to the unaudited pro forma adjustments necessary to account for the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 combines the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Employers with the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of AmCOMP, each as of September 30, 2008, and gives effect to the unaudited pro forma adjustments necessary to account for the Merger as if it occurred on September 30, 2008.
The Merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, AmCOMP’s operating results following the October 31, 2008 closing of the Merger will be included in Employers future operating results.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments related to the Merger are based on preliminary purchase price allocations. Actual adjustments will be based on analyses of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including acquired in force policies, identifiable tangible and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and estimates of the useful lives of tangible and amortizable intangible assets, which will be completed after Employers obtains final third-party appraisals, performs its own internal assessments and reviews all available data, which is expected to occur prior to the filing of Employers 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2008. Differences between preliminary and final purchase price allocations could have a significant impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and Employers future results of operations and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Employers and AmCOMP as of September 30, 2008, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007. This information should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of (i) Employers included in Employers Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and (ii) AmCOMP included in AmCOMP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 included as Exhibit 99.2 on this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the Merger been completed during the period or as of the dates for which the pro forma data is presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to project the future consolidated financial position or operating results of Employers.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Under the GAAP purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price of $188.4 million, plus estimated merger-related costs of $5.0 million, is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price was allocated using the information currently available, and Employers may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of preliminary estimates. The purchase price allocation will be finalized in fiscal 2009.
The excess of the purchase price over the net of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands except share and stock price information):
Cash paid to acquire 15,295,462 shares at $12.15 per share | | $ | 185,840 | |
Cash to settle outstanding stock options | | | 2,529 | |
Purchase price | | | 188,369 | |
Estimated merger related costs | | | 4,964 | |
Adjusted purchase price | | $ | 193,333 | |
| | | | |
Book value of assets acquired | | $ | 156,220 | |
Adjustments to net book value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | | | | |
Tax benefit for vesting of stock options (a) | | | 591 | |
Fair value adjustment on held to maturity securities (b) | | | 469 | |
Elimination of goodwill, net (c) | | | (1,260 | ) |
Elimination of debt issuance costs (d) | | | (998 | ) |
Severance and retention related liabilities, net of current tax benefit (e) | | | (3,781 | ) |
Fair value adjustment on deferred acquisition costs (f) | | | 2,899 | |
Identified intangible assets (g) | | | 18,300 | |
Litigation (h) | | | (675 | ) |
Merger related liabilities assumed (i) | | | (2,512 | ) |
Deferred tax impact on purchase adjustments (j) | | | (5,859 | ) |
Adjusted book value | | | 163,394 | |
| | | | |
Estimated incremental goodwill | | $ | 29,939 | |
| | | | |
(a) | The pro forma adjustment is to record the settlement of AmCOMP’s 844,650 outstanding options with an exercise price less than the per share merger consideration, which vested upon close of the Merger and settled at the net amount of (A) the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the per share consideration over the exercise price per share of such option, multiplied by (ii) the number of AmCOMP shares subject to such option, less (B) any applicable taxes. The cash consideration paid for the options was $2.5 million and results in a net tax benefit to AmCOMP of $0.6 million. |
| Additionally, Employers federal income taxes payable of $2.1 million was reclassified to offset the net federal income tax recoverable. |
(b) | The pro forma adjustment to the historical amortized cost value of AmCOMP’s held to maturity securities is to value the securities at their fair value of $99.1 million at September 30, 2008 and to reclassify them as available for sale securities. |
(c) | The pro forma adjustment is to eliminate AmCOMP’s existing goodwill from the acquisition of its subsidiary, AmCOMP Preferred Insurance Company. |
(d) | The pro forma adjustment is to eliminate AmCOMP’s $1.0 million in capitalized debt issuance costs related to AmCOMP’s notes payable. The debt issuance costs were being amortized over a 30 year term. For the purposes of the pro forma combined income statements the amount of amortization to be reversed is $20 thousand and $15 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. |
(e) | Certain of AmCOMP's senior executives are party to employment agreements providing for severance benefits in connection with the Merger and, in the case of one senior executive a retention payment became payable upon completion of the Merger. The total liability assumed by Employers under these agreements is $4.1 million and has a current tax benefit of $0.3 million. The expected cost savings in related salary and benefits for the pro forma combined statement of income is $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, and is a reduction to historical underwriting and other operating expense. |
(f) | The pro forma adjustment of $2.9 million is to adjust the historical book value of AmCOMP’s deferred acquisition costs to its fair value of $21.7 million. Deferred acquisition costs are amortized over one year, therefore, for purposes of the pro forma combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007, $2.9 million in additional amortization charges have been adjusted to underwriting and other expense. |
(g) | Identifiable intangible assets acquired are estimated to be $18.3 million. These assets include (in thousands except years and months): |
Intangible Assets | | Estimated Fair Value | | Estimated Life | | Pro Forma Amortization Expense |

(h) | On March 4, 2008, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed by Broadbased Equities against AmCOMP, its directors and Employers in connection with the proposed merger between AmCOMP and Employers. The parties negotiated and entered into an Amended Memorandum of Understanding under which the defendants agreed to pay up to $675,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses to counsel for the plaintiff. The parties have agreed to enter into and seek court approval of a stipulation of |
| settlement consistent with the Amended Memorandum of Understanding and under which Employers would be responsible for the payment of the $675,000. |
(i) | AmCOMP incurred fees in connection with the Merger of $2.5 million that are adjusted as additional liabilities assumed by Employers. |
(j) | The deferred tax balance is adjusted for the tax impact, at the statutory rate of 35%, for any of the purchase adjustments that are deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, a deferred tax liability is established for the intangibles, which is recognized as the intangible balances are amortized into income. |
(k) | AmCOMP’s excess reinsurance program differed from the reinsurance coverage maintained by Employers, most notably the lower retention on the first layer of coverage. AmCOMP’s losses were reinsured in excess of $2.0 million whereas Employers maintains coverage above $5.0 million. AmCOMP became party to Employers reinsurance program on the date of the Merger, resulting in a lower reinsurance premium cost and a greater spread of the risk between the combined writings of Employers and AmCOMP. Based on AmCOMP’s and Employers historical loss experience, it is not expected that the change in reinsurance coverage for AmCOMP will have a significant impact on losses and LAE incurred. |
(l) | With the acquisition of AmCOMP, Employers has identified synergies that will create continued savings. Included in these savings are the costs associated with AmCOMP’s obligations as a public company, insurance costs and other overhead costs aggregating $1.5 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. |
(m) | Employers entered into a Second Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Credit Facility (Amended Credit Facility), effective September 30, 2008. On that day, Employers borrowed $150.0 million through the Amended Credit Facility, the proceeds of which were used to finance the Merger. The Amended Credit Facility bears interest on either, at Employers choice, a fluctuating rate of 1.25% above the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) or a fixed rate that is 1.25% above the LIBOR rate on reset dates (approximately 0.50% for the current 30-day LIBOR rate). Additionally, on September 30, 2008, Employers executed an interest rate swap with Wells Fargo, which established a fixed interest rate of 4.84% on $100.0 million of the borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. For the purposes of the pro forma presentation, $100.0 million and $50.0 million of borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility are assumed to bear an annualized interest rate of 4.84% and 1.75%, respectively, for both the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Aggregate interest expense of $4.3 million and $5.7 million has been adjusted in the pro forma combined statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. An increase/decrease of 0.125% in the interest rate on the $50.0 million portion of the Amended Credit Facility that is not hedged would result in an increase/decrease in interest expense of approximately $46,875 and $62,500 for nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. |
(n) | For purposes of the pro forma combined income statements, adjustments related to the amortization of a $375,000 non-refundable commitment fee, elimination of the commitment fee related to the unused balance of the Amended Credit Facility and elimination of other debt related costs result in a decrease to interest expense of $541,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and an increase to interest expense of $125,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. |
