PMA’s New England operation will have Meriden, CT as its regional hub and initially focus on
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont. PMA’s Meriden office, which offers in-house
underwriting, claims and risk control services, has 48 staff members and expects to add staff as new
business increases.

“We have the infrastructure in place, as well as the experienced, knowledgeable local staff, to bring our unique brand of PMA Companies insurance and risk management solutions to more clients in the New England region,” said John Santulli, Executive Vice President, PMA Companies. “We look forward to sharing our risk management expertise with the leading institutions, companies and public entities throughout the New England states, bringing even greater ease of doing business and tangible results to their workers’ compensation and related commercial risk management programs.”

The New England expansion began in 2008 when PMA Capital Corporation purchased PMA
Management Corp. of New England (formerly known as Webster Risk Services), a regional TPA provider
based in Meriden. Since then, PMA has established a full-service PMA Branch Office, offering Third Party Administrator (TPA) and risk services through PMA Management Corp. of New England, and property and casualty insurance & services through PMA Insurance Group. Leading the New England team are Alan Mathog, President of PMA Management Corp. of New England, and Ed Scannell, Vice President for PMA Insurance Group.

PMA Management Corp. of New England is a regional provider of results-driven TPA and risk
management solutions, working with individual, captive and group self-insured clients, specializing in the health care industry, public entities and educational institutions.
PMA Insurance Group offers mid- and large-size employers insurance and risk management solutions
through independent agents and brokers, including:

· An industry leading choice of property & casualty insurance products
