EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) is made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by the undersigned with respect to the Class A Common Stock, no par value per share, of Protective Insurance Corporation. This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements that certain Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 1986 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 23, 2020 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 filed on June 17, 2020 (“Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3 filed August 18, 2020 (“Amendment No. 3”), and Amendment No. 4 filed January 19, 2021 (“Amendment No. 4” and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and this Amendment No. 5, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Voting Agreement

 

On February 14, 2021, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with The Progressive Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Progressive”), and Carnation Merger Sub Inc., an Indiana corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Progressive (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Progressive (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (together, the “Issuer Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as specified and defined in the Merger Agreement). This summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete.

 

As a condition and inducement to Progressive entering into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders (as defined in the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement), Nathan Shapiro and Steven Shapiro (collectively, the “Shareholder Parties”), the Issuer and Progressive entered into a Voting and Support Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2021 (the “Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Shareholder Parties agreed, among other things, to cause the 919,564 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Act) by the Reporting Persons, and any other shares of Class A Common Stock of which they acquire beneficial ownership during the term of the Voting Agreement, (collectively, the “Covered Shares”) to be voted (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) in favor of any action reasonably requested by Progressive or the Issuer’s board of directors in furtherance of the foregoing, including any proposal to adjourn or postpone a meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (iii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Issuer contained in the Merger Agreement or of a Shareholder Party contained in the Voting Agreement, (B) result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being satisfied or (C) impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iv) against any Takeover Proposal (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) or Superior Proposal (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Voting Agreement.

 

Under the Voting Agreement, the Shareholder Parties also agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, encumber or dispose of any of the Covered Shares, or enter into a contract or understanding with respect to the voting, sale or other transfer of voting rights to the Covered Shares, except as permitted under the Voting Agreement.

 

Page 20 of 25 pages

 

 

From the date of the Voting Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Parties agreed not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the making of any proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any of the Issuer’s or its subsidiaries’ confidential information with respect to, any Takeover Proposal or (iii) enter into any Takeover Proposal Documentation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to a Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Issuer’s board of directors has determined, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, that an unsolicited bona fide written Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, if the Issuer is participating in discussions and negotiations with, or furnishing information to the person making such Takeover Proposal pursuant to and in compliance with the Merger Agreement, then the Shareholder Parties and their respective Representatives may, at the request and direction of the special committee of the Issuer’s board of directors, also take such actions. 

 

Each Shareholder Party also agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take or encourage any third party to take any action, including filing any claim, action, suit or proceeding in a court of applicable jurisdiction seeking a judicial order, to demand or cause an annual meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders to be held or (ii) in the event that the Issuer holds an annual meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders prior to the termination of the Voting Agreement, nominate any director candidate for election at such meeting or solicit proxies in support of any nominee for election at such meeting (notwithstanding any advance notice of any such nominations that may have been provided).

 

The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the Effective Time; (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (iii) with respect to any Shareholder Party, the entry without the prior written consent of such Shareholder Party, into any amendment, modification or waiver to the Merger Agreement that results in (x) a decrease in, or a change in the form of, the merger consideration payable to holders of the Issuer Stock or (y) an extension of the outside termination date for the Merger Agreement.

 

This summary of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Expense Reimbursement Agreement

 

On February 14, 2021, the Shareholder Parties and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) providing, among other things, that the Issuer will reimburse the Shareholder Parties in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of $750,000 and the Reimbursement Payment (as defined in the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement).

 

This summary of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.4 to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Restated Contingent Sale Agreement

 

On February 14, 2021, pursuant to the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement, the Shareholder Parties delivered a Transaction Notice (as defined in the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement) to the Offering Parties, whereupon the Offering Parties’ obligation to make an Offer pursuant to the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement was immediately and irrevocably terminated.

 

Statement on Form A

 

In light of the pending transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Applicants have withdrawn the Statement on Form A filed with the Department on January 15, 2021.

(a)         This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, without respect to any conflicts of law principle that might require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents and submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (or, solely if the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana does not have subject matter jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Indiana Commercial Court located in Hamilton County, Indiana) (“Chosen Courts”), and any appellate court to which a decision of such Chosen Courts may be appealed (in which case, solely for purposes of an appeal from any decision of the Chosen Court) in connection with any Action based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and agrees not to bring any such Action in any court other than the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action in the Chosen Courts, including, but not limited to, any objection based on any party’s place of incorporation, place of business or domicile, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any defense to the maintenance of any such Action in the Chosen Courts, whether based on the Chosen Courts being an inconvenient forum or otherwise and (iv) agrees that any final, non-appealable judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law and waives any objection to such enforcement. Each of the parties consents and agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document for any action permitted hereunder may be delivered by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 5.04.

 

(b)         EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY, FOR AN ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY HEREOF OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NEITHER THE OTHER PARTIES NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS HAVE REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH OF THE PARTIES UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH OF THE PARTIES MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH OF THE PARTIES HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS OF THIS SECTION 5.08(b).

Section 5.09       Amendment; Waiver.

 

(a)         This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties.

 

(b)         At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of the parties may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party set forth in this Agreement or (iii)  waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions of the other parties set forth in this Agreement. Any such extension or waiver by a party shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

 

Section 5.10       Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. The parties accordingly agree that, without posting a bond or other undertaking, the parties (or any of them) shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent a breach or breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to and without precluding or otherwise rendering unavailable any other remedy to which they are or could be entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any party hereto brings any Action to prevent a breach or breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, no party may allege or argue that there is an adequate remedy at law and each party hereto waives any defense or counterclaim in this regard. The parties further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 5.10, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit any party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 5.10 before exercising any other right under this Agreement.

 

Section 5.11       Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by the Chosen Courts or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

15

 

 

Section 5.12       Successors And Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than to a transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not relieve such Shareholder of its obligations hereunder), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is not intended to and does not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

 

Section 5.13       Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Shapiro Family Investment Partnership – Nathan Share; Nathan Shapiro Revocable Trust Dated 10/7/87; NS (Florida) Associates Inc.; Daniel Shapiro; Emily Rita Shapiro; Steven A. Shapiro C/F Jackson Henry Shapiro UGTMA/IL; Steve Shapiro C/F Jordyn Reese Shapiro UTMA/IL; New Horizon (Florida) Enterprises Inc.; Daniel M. Shapiro C/F Nick E. Shapiro UTMA/IL; Illinois Diversified Company, LLC; Norton Shapiro Revocable Trust; Norton Shapiro 2008 Trust; Norton Shapiro Family LLC; NSF Investment Partnership; and Steven Shapiro, (each, a “Reimbursed Party” and collectively, the “Reimbursed Parties”).

 

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Stockholder Support and Contingent Sale Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2020 (the “SCSA”), by and among (i) Protective Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Protective Investment Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (each an “Offering Party” and collectively the “Offering Parties”), and the other parties thereto. Each capitalized term used in this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) but not defined herein has the meaning given to it in the SCSA.

 

In order to induce the Reimbursed Parties to enter into that certain voting and support agreement being entered into concurrently herewith (the “Voting Agreement”), the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Reimbursed Parties provided, or caused to be provided, to the Offering Parties the Transaction Notice contemplated by Section 5.1(c) of the SCSA.

 

2.Protective Insurance Corporation (the “Company”) shall reimburse the Reimbursed Parties in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) $750,000 and (y) the Reimbursement Payment (as defined in the SCSA) (the amount determined by the operation of clauses (x) and (y), the “Reimbursement Amount”) if, but only if, each Reimbursed Party executes and delivers to the Company the Voting Agreement concurrently herewith, it being understood that (A) the price per share in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) referenced in the Voting Agreement is $23.30 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock and (B) the board of directors of the Company has adopted the Merger Agreement and approved the Voting Agreement.

 

3.In connection with any demand to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 2 of this Letter Agreement, the Reimbursed Parties shall deliver to the Company a written certificate setting forth the amount demanded to be reimbursed certifying that such amount constitutes part of the Reimbursement Payment (as defined in the SSCSA), an invoice showing the amounts of fees and expenses that comprise such demanded amount, and reasonable documentation underlying such fees and wire instructions for the purpose of paying the Reimbursement Amount (the “Payment Certificate”).

 

1

 

 

4.The Company agrees to make any payment required by Section 2 of this Letter Agreement promptly (and in any event, within one (1) business day after the date such payment is required to be made pursuant to this Letter Agreement) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in the Payment Certificate following the later of the delivery of (a) the Transaction Notice contemplated by Section 2 of this Letter Agreement or (b) the Payment Certificate.

 

5.The Reimbursed Parties agree to enforce their rights under the SCSA to cause the Offering Parties to make any “true up” payment contemplated by the definition of Reimbursement Payment, and if any such payment is payable by the Offering Parties, to promptly (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) pay any such “true up” payment to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company (other than any portion of such “true up” payment that is in respect of the excess of the Reimbursement Payment (as defined in the SCSA) over the Reimbursement Amount).

 

6.This Letter Agreement, together with the Voting Agreement, contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter of this Letter Agreement, and no provision of this Letter Agreement may be amended or modified, in whole or in part, nor any waiver or consent given, unless approved in writing by the parties in the case of an amendment or modification or by the party to be charged in the case of a waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Letter Agreement and the provision so amended or modified or for which such waiver or consent is given. It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by the Company or the Reimbursed Parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

7.This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws. Each party agrees that any suit or proceeding with regard to the subject matter of this Letter Agreement will be tried exclusively in the Indiana Commercial Court located in Hamilton County or, if that court declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana and, in each case, any appellate court thereof, and each party agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts (and agrees not to commence any action, suit, or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts). The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of this Letter Agreement in such court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties further agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth below shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against the parties in any such court. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH REGARD TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LETTER AGREEMENT.
