Employers Holdings Announces Planned Retirement of CFO

-National Search for Successor to be Initiated-

RENO, NV, April 8, 2014 - Employers Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:EIG), America's small business insurance specialist®, today announced that William E.

The company will initiate a national search for Mr. Yocke’s successor and during the search process Mr. Yocke will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

“Ric has been an important member of my executive team during a transformational time for the company,” said Douglas D. Dirks, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Board of Directors congratulates him on his outstanding career. We will soon initiate a national search to find Ric’s successor, and Ric’s decision to announce his retirement plans at this time gives us ample opportunity to conduct that search in a careful and thoughtful manner.”

“I have very much enjoyed my time at EMPLOYERS,” said Mr. Yocke. “However, at this time I am making plans to spend more time with my family, traveling and pursuing some long envisioned interests. I am giving this much notice because I have made my personal decision and I want the company to have sufficient time to search for my successor. EMPLOYERS is in an excellent financial position and I don’t want my planned retirement to negatively impact its continued success.”
