Item 8.01. Other Material Events.

On June 20, 2008 AMERISAFE, Inc. (the “Company”) commuted certain reinsurance agreements with Hannover Ruckversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft (“Hannover”), covering portions of the 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 accident years. Hannover remains obligated to subsidiaries of the Company under other reinsurance agreements.

The commuted agreements afforded coverage (i) in 2003 for portions of the first $5.0 million of each loss occurrence, subject to the retention of the first $2.0 million of each such loss by the Company; (ii) in 2004 for portions of the first $5.0 million of each loss occurrence, subject to the retention of the first $2.0 million of each such loss by the Company; (iii) in 2005 for portions of the first $5.0 million of each loss occurrence, subject to the retention of the first $1.0 million of each such loss by the Company; and (iv) in 2006 for portions of the first $5.0 million of each loss occurrence, subject to the retention of the first $2.0 million of each such loss by the Company. For each year coverage was also subject to applicable aggregate annual deductibles, retentions, and other limitations.

AMERISAFE received cash of approximately $7.5 million in exchange for releasing Hannover from its reinsurance obligations under the commuted agreements and settling the commuted agreements’ profit contingency provisions. As a result of the commutation, AMERISAFE will book additional pre-tax income of approximately $991 thousand in the second quarter of 2008.
