Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 13, 2009, PMA Capital Corporation (the "Company") entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Vincent T. Donnelly, President and Chief Executive Officer, and William E. Hitselberger, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The amended and restated employment agreements amended the term of employment and certain arrangements relating to each executive's compensation and severance benefits, among other things.

Mr. Donnelly's agreement expires on March 14, 2012 and provides compensation and benefit arrangements similar to his previous agreement. The agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary of $715,000, an annual incentive compensation award targeted at 60% of base salary and a long-term incentive award targeted at 100% of base salary. Award targets for periods beginning in 2010 may be revised in the discretion of the Company's Compensation Committee.

Mr. Hitselberger's agreement expires on September 14, 2011 and provides compensation and benefit arrangements similar to his previous agreement. The agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary of $445,000, an annual incentive compensation award targeted at 45% of base salary and a long-term incentive award targeted at 70% of base salary. Award targets for periods beginning in 2010 may be revised in the discretion of the Company's Compensation Committee.

The employment agreements also provide for certain payments to Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Hitselberger in the event that their employment is terminated. Events triggering the receipt of severance payments and benefits and the methods for determining the severance payments and benefits to be provided upon a triggering event are the same in all material respects as the previous agreements between the Company and the executives, except that (a) if the executive terminates his employment with the Company without good reason, he is not entitled to receive severance payments and benefits unless he has served for at least 90% of the term of the agreement and (b) if the executive terminates his employment without good reason after serving 90% of the term, the executive is entitled to a severance payment equal to the dollar amount set forth in his agreement rather than a multiple of his salary and target bonus at the time of termination.

A copy of the amended and restated employment agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
