Item 7.01. |
Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On March 8, 2007, Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Plan”) with a broker to facilitate the purchase of its common stock, par value $2.00. Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to purchase its shares at times when it ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout periods, such as the time preceding its quarterly earnings releases.
The shares to be repurchased under the Plan would be part of the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. The Company may terminate the Plan and may enter into similar arrangements in the future.
The Plan does not require that any shares be purchased, and there can be no assurance that any shares will be purchased under the Plan. Depending on market conditions and subject to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company may also make purchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time within the Company’s trading window periods.
