Item 8.01. Other Events.

Assurant, Inc. (the “Company”) has updated its estimate of catastrophe incurred losses for the months of April and May, which it now believes to be in the range of $65 million to $75 million, pre-tax and net of reinsurance. This amount includes the April catastrophe losses previously reported in the April 28, 2011 first quarter earnings call. This includes only individual catastrophic events identified by Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) that generate losses to the Company in excess of $5 million pre-tax, net of reinsurance (“reportable catastrophe losses”).

April and May losses included several events encompassing hail, tornadoes, wind, and flood storms throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States.

Actual reportable catastrophe losses for the quarter will be reported with the second quarter 2011 earnings release scheduled for July 27, after 4:00 p.m. ET.
