Form S-8, File No. 333-29643 (the “Registration Statement”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 1997, to deregister all unsold securities of the Registrant that could be offered under the Philadelphia Insurance Companies Directors Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”).

(“Parent”) and Tokio Marine Investment (Pennsylvania) Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant and the Registrant became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Registrant terminated the offering of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to this Registration Statement. The Registrant intends to file a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 with respect to the Registrant’s common stock, no par value.
