PREFATORY NOTE
 
Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (“Donegal Mutual”) is a Pennsylvania-domiciled mutual fire insurance company that is owned by its policyholders and has no stockholders. Donegal Mutual is, therefore, not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13(a) of the 1934 Act. Donegal Group Inc. (“DGI”), a publicly owned insurance holding company of which Donegal Mutual holds majority voting control, is subject to those provisions.
 
Donegal Mutual is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act because of Donegal Mutual’s ownership of a greater than 5% interest in the outstanding shares of DGI’s Class A common stock (the “DGICA Shares”) and Donegal Mutual’s ownership of a greater than 5% interest in the outstanding shares of DGI’s Class B common stock (the “DGICB Shares”). The DGICA Shares and the DGICB Shares are each a class of voting equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act.
 
Donegal Mutual is filing this Amendment No. 24 (this “Amendment No. 24”) to update the information contained in Donegal Mutual’s Amendment No. 23 to Schedule 13D, which Donegal Mutual filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2015 (the Schedule 13D, as amended, the “Schedule 13D/A”).
 
As the General Instructions to Schedule 13D require, Donegal Mutual reports in this Amendment No. 24 all of the information Items 2 through 6 of Schedule 13D require with respect to each executive officer and director of Donegal Mutual. Donegal Mutual and each such executive officer and director, however, expressly declares that the filing of this Amendment No. 24 shall not constitute, or shall not be construed as, an admission that any of such persons and Donegal Mutual constitute a “group” of beneficial owners for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.

Item 2.
Identity and Background.
 
Donegal Mutual hereby supplements and amends Item 2 of its Schedule 13D/A so that, as supplemented and amended, Item 2 reads in its entirety as follows:
 
(a) - (c), (f) This Amendment No. 24 is filed by Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (“Donegal Mutual”). Donegal Mutual is a Pennsylvania-domiciled mutual fire insurance company that is owned by its policyholders and has no stockholders.
 
The address of the principal place of business and the principal office of Donegal Mutual, the entity filing this Amendment No. 24, is 1195 River Road, Marietta, Pennsylvania 17547.
 
A group of local residents and business owners in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania formed Donegal Mutual in 1889 to provide property and casualty insurance. Now, 133 years later, Donegal Mutual has succeeded and grown to have approximately $714.9 million in total assets and surplus of approximately $350.4 million as of March 31, 2022. In addition, as of the date of this Amendment No. 24, Donegal Mutual owns approximately 70% of the combined voting power of the outstanding DGICA Shares and the outstanding DGICB Shares. At March 31, 2022, DGI had total assets of approximately $2.2 billion and stockholders’ equity of approximately $524.3 million. Donegal Mutual, its insurance subsidiaries and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries conduct business together as the Donegal Insurance Group in 24 Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, New England, Southern and Southwestern states.
 
During 2021, A.M. Best Company reported that the Donegal Insurance Group ranked as the 87th largest property and casualty insurance group in the United States based on its net premiums written in 2020. A.M. Best Company has assigned its financial strength rating of A (Excellent) to the Donegal Insurance Group. The Donegal Insurance Group has received an A.M. Best financial strength rating of A (Excellent) for the last 30 successive years.
 
Atlantic States Insurance Company (“Atlantic States”), DGI’s largest subsidiary, participates in a proportional reinsurance agreement, or pooling agreement, with Donegal Mutual. Under the pooling agreement, Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States contribute substantially all of their respective premiums, losses and loss expenses to the underwriting pool, and the underwriting pool, acting through Donegal Mutual, then allocates 80% of the pooled business to Atlantic States. Thus, Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States share the underwriting results of the pooled business in proportion to their respective participation in the underwriting pool. In addition, Donegal Mutual has a 100% quota-share reinsurance agreement with Southern Mutual Insurance Company, a subsidiary of DGI (“Southern Mutual”). Donegal Mutual places its assumed business from Southern Mutual into the underwriting pool.
 
Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries conduct business together as the Donegal Insurance Group, while each entity retains its separate legal and corporate existence. As the Donegal Insurance Group, Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries share a combined business plan to enhance market penetration and underwriting profitability. As such, Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries share the same business philosophies, the same management, the same employees and the same facilities and offer the same types of insurance products.  The products Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries offer are generally complementary, which permits the Donegal Insurance Group to offer a broad range of products in a given market and to expand the Donegal Insurance Group’s ability to service an entire personal lines or commercial lines account. Distinctions within the products Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries offer generally relate to specific risk profiles within similar classes of business, such as preferred tier products versus standard tier products. Donegal Mutual and DGI do not allocate all of the standard risk gradients to one company. As a result, the underwriting results of the business the individual companies write directly will vary. Donegal Mutual and DGI believe these advantages include the following benefits:
 

facilitating the stable management, consistent underwriting discipline, external growth and long-term profitability of the Donegal Insurance Group;
 

creating operational and expense synergies given the combined resources and operating efficiencies of the member companies of the Donegal Insurance Group;
 

 
SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP Nos. 257701 20 1
and 257701 30 0
 
Page 5 of 11

providing Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States with a significantly larger underwriting capacity than either company could achieve independently because of the underwriting pool Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States maintain;
 

enhancing DGI’s opportunities to expand by acquisition because of the ability of Donegal Mutual to acquire control of other mutual insurance companies, reinsure substantially all of their insurance business and place such reinsured business in the underwriting pool; and
 

producing more uniform and stable underwriting results for the Donegal Insurance Group than any of the individual member companies could achieve without the relationships between Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries.
 
As a result of reviews that occurred in February 2022 and March 2022, both DGI’s board of directors and Donegal Mutual’s board of directors reaffirmed their respective belief that the Donegal Mutual-DGI structure and the inter-company relationships between Donegal Mutual and DGI and its insurance subsidiaries described in DGI proxy statement for its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders continue to be appropriate for the respective businesses and operations of Donegal Mutual and of DGI and its insurance subsidiaries. DGI’s board of directors reaffirmed in March 2022 that preservation of the relationship between Donegal Mutual and DGI and its status as a public company of which Donegal Mutual owns approximately 70% of the combined voting power of DGI’s Class A common stock and DGI’s Class B common stock is in the collective best interests of the constituencies that DGI and Donegal Mutual serve, including DGI’s stockholders, the policyholders of DGI’s insurance subsidiaries and the policyholders of Donegal Mutual; Donegal Mutual’s employees who provide services to DGI and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries pursuant to a services agreement; the independent insurance agents who represent Donegal Mutual and DGI’s insurance subsidiaries; and the local communities in which Donegal Mutual, DGI and its insurance subsidiaries maintain offices.
 
DGI’s board of directors believes Donegal Mutual’s long-term ownership of a majority interest in the combined voting power of DGICA and of DGICB fosters DGI’s ability to:
 

implement DGI’s strategic business philosophies;
 

realize the benefits of long-term management continuity;
 

maintain superior employee relations; and
 

provide a stable environment within which DGI can grow its businesses.
 
Donegal Mutual’s board of directors believes that its maintenance of majority voting control of DGI is an essential foundation to DGI’s strong financial condition and provides the benefits described above to DGI. As noted above, the boards of directors of Donegal Mutual and DGI reaffirmed in February 2022 and March 2022 that their historical relationship provides both parties with numerous benefits and that the continuation of the existing relationship is in the best interest of all of the constituencies Donegal Mutual and DGI serve.
 
DGI has a two-class voting structure that enables DGI to issue stock to raise additional equity capital and to effect acquisitions without materially affecting the relative voting power of any stockholder. Donegal Mutual is committed to maintaining its majority voting control of DGI to facilitate the continuation of the benefits Donegal Mutual’s majority voting control of DGI provides to DGI and Donegal Mutual. Donegal Mutual will therefore continue to purchase DGICA Shares and DGICB Shares from time to time in the open market pursuant to SEC Rule 10b-18 and in private transactions. An order of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department authorizes Donegal Mutual to acquire ownership of 100% of the outstanding DGICB Shares and to acquire ownership of up to 70% of the outstanding DGICA Shares.
 
The directors of Donegal Mutual are: Jennifer G. Anderson, Scott A. Berlucchi, Dennis J. Bixenman, Michael W. Brubaker, Kevin G. Burke, Michael K. Callahan, Cyril J. Greenya, Jack L. Hess, Kevin M. Kraft, Sr., Jeffrey D. Miller and Annette B. Szady. A brief summary of the business experience of the directors of Donegal Mutual follows.

(d) - (e) All of the executive officers and directors of Donegal Mutual are citizens of the United States of America. Neither Donegal Mutual nor its executive officers or directors has, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
 

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Donegal Mutual hereby supplements and amends Item 3 of its Schedule 13D/A to add the following:
 
On April 21, 2022, Donegal Mutual’s board of directors consented to the purchase, from time to time, of DGICA Shares and/or DGICB Shares (the “Proposed Transaction”). Such consent followed the recommendation of management based upon the conclusion that such shares, taking into account the dividend yield and management’s assessment of the stock price compared to book value per share, represents an attractive investment opportunity.  Management reached this conclusion after assessing expected investment income from and potential long-term appreciation in value of such shares compared to currently available returns on fixed-maturity securities, which primarily comprise Donegal Mutual’s investment portfolio excluding its current investment in DGICA Shares and DGICB Shares, and other investment opportunities. As of the date of this Amendment No. 24, Donegal Mutual has not yet purchased any DGICA Shares or DGICB Shares pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, but intends to purchase such shares from time to time in the open market pursuant to SEC Rule 10b-18 and in private transactions. The source of funds which Donegal Mutual intends to use for this purpose is Donegal Mutual’s available funds on hand, but Donegal Mutual reserves the right to draw upon its available lines of credit for this purpose.
 

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Donegal Mutual hereby supplements and amends Item 4 of its Schedule 13D/A to add the following:
 
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D/A is hereby supplemented by the information set forth in Item 3 above, which information is incorporated by reference herein.
 
In addition to dividend income and potential long-term appreciation in value, Donegal Mutual’s purchase of DGICA Shares and DGICB Shares helps assure Donegal Mutual’s continuing majority voting control of DGI.
 
Donegal Mutual does not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (h) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. However, Donegal Mutual intends to review its investment in DGI on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, DGI’s financial position, actions taken by DGI, the availability of DGICA Shares and/or DGICB Shares for purchase at particular price levels, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of its interest in DGI, other investment opportunities available to the Donegal Mutual, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Donegal Mutual may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in DGI as it deems appropriate. Depending upon Donegal Mutual’s assessments of pertinent factors from time to time, Donegal Mutual may change its present intentions and reserves the right to, at any time without notice, among other things, (a) hold its investment in DGI; (b) acquire additional DGICA Shares and/or DGICB Shares from third parties (by means of open market transactions, private transactions or otherwise, whether for cash or for other consideration); (c) make further proposals related to the Proposed Transaction; (d) make recommendations or proposals to DGI concerning changes to its capitalization, ownership structure or board structure (including board composition), potential business combinations or dispositions involving DGI or certain of its assets, or suggestions for improving DGI’s financial and/or operational performance; (e) engage in any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the DGICA Shares and/or DGICB Shares; (f) take other actions similar, or in addition, to those listed above, or (g) take any other action (including voting of the DGICA Shares and DGICB Shares) in support of the foregoing.
