ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
At Commerce Group Corp.'s (the "Company") Directors' Executive Committee
Meeting held on October 14, 2008, the Directors agreed to postpone the
Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders which was scheduled to be held
on Friday, December 19, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. at the Whitefish Bay Library
Program Room, 5420 North Marlborough Drive.
The meeting is being postponed in order to give the Company additional
time to develop and include a non-routine proposal to be presented to the
shareholders and to nominate an additional Director for election. As
soon as the Company finalizes the proposals and schedules a new date for
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a definitive revised proxy statement
soliciting materials providing the revised information will be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The proxy statement will be
mailed to the Company's shareholders when it is available. INVESTORS AND
SECURITY HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE REVISED PROXY
STATEMENT, WHEN AVAILABLE, BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the definitive
revised proxy statement, when available, and other documents filed by the
Company at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at
www.sec.gov.
