Item 8.01    Other Events.

On January 21, 2016, AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the results of the special meeting of members of ARI Mutual Insurance Company (“ARI”) held that morning where the members approved, among other matters, the conversion of ARI from a mutual holding company to stock form. In addition, the Company completed its offering of shares of its common stock for cash on a subscription basis to certain of the ARI members and to non-employee directors of ARI. The Company received subscriptions for approximately $276,000. The Company sold the shares at a purchase price of $44.6989 per share ($22.3494 on a post-split basis), which represented a 20% discount to the volume-weighted average trading price of a share of its common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, for the 10-trading day period ending Wednesday, January 20, 2016, which was $55.8736.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Conversion, the purchase price and shares issued by the Company will be adjusted to reflect the Company’s stock split effective on February 2, 2016. Therefore, upon the filing of ARI’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 22, 2016, and the effective date of the stock split on February 2, 2016, the Company will deliver 12,347 shares of its common stock, which represents the number of shares sold in the offering at the volume-weighted average trading price on a post-split basis.
