Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 30, 2008, the Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), a registration statement on Form S-8, registering 500,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock for use in the Employers Mutual Casualty Company 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2008 Plan"). On March 11, 2009, Employers Mutual Casualty Company (Employers Mutual), the parent company of the Registrant, adopted several changes to the 2008 Plan (the "Amended 2008 Plan"), which become effective April 1, 2009. The most significant change contained in the Amended 2008 Plan is a requirement that, with limited exceptions, all shares of common stock purchased through the Amended 2008 Plan can only be disposed of through sales transactions conducted through the plan's custodian. This change is being implemented so that Employers Mutual can better comply with IRS reporting requirements applicable to employee stock purchase plans. The Amended 2008 Plan is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.4.1.

The Registrant hereby expressly incorporates this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 10.4.1, into the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number 333-151299), filed on May 30, 2008.
