In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 8, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”) Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of Scott Kirk as Chief Financial Officer, effective March 1, 2021. As previously announced, Mr. Kirk will succeed Jay Bullock as the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, effective at the time of his appointment as Chief Financial Officer. This Form 8-K/A amends the Original 8-K to revise the effective date of Mr. Kirk’s appointment due to an unforeseen delay in the Company’s filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”). As a result, Mr. Kirk will become the Chief Financial Officer on the first business day after the Company files the 2020 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Bullock will remain the Chief Financial Officer of the Company until such date.
