DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8, Registration Statement No.33-8948 (the “Registration Statement”), filed on September 23, 1986, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 relates, ZENITH NATIONAL INSURANCE CORP. (the “Registrant”) registered 4,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be offered or sold by the Registrant pursuant to the Zenith Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”).

The Stock Option Plan was terminated on May 22, 1996.  Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, filed on September 13, 2001, deregistered all shares previously authorized for issuance under the Stock Option Plan that had been registered under the Registration Statement and that remained unsold, which was estimated to be 282,325 shares.  After Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, the Registration Statement remained in effect for shares of Common Stock offered by the Registrant under the Stock Purchase Plan.

The Stock Purchase plan has been suspended.  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement deregisters all shares previously authorized to be offered by the Registrant under the Stock Purchase Plan that had been registered on the Registration Statement and that remained unpurchased, which are 790,295 shares.  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is being filed in accordance with the requirements of Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.
