Agent Communication Memo

To: All Agents
From:
Subject: Planned Acquisition of Safety Insurance Group, Inc.
Date:

Overview

We are pleased to share that Mapfre USA has entered into an agreement to merge Safety Insurance Group, Inc., the publicly traded parent company of four operating insurance companies, into Mapfre USA, bringing together two Massachusetts-domiciled insurance organizations with profound roots in the property and casualty market and a deep commitment to the independent agent distribution channel. As a result of the merger, Safety's four insurance companies will become sister companies of Mapfre USA's insurance subsidiaries.

This merger brings together two organizations with complementary strengths, significant local market knowledge, and a shared commitment to serving customers through trusted relationships. By combining our capabilities, we expect to create a stronger and more competitive insurance platform in Massachusetts and the broader New England states, while preserving the expertise and customer focus that have defined both companies.

This is an important milestone for both companies and creates meaningful opportunities for our valued independent agent partners. We have a deep shared commitment to independent agents and policyholders and strongly believe in the value of local market expertise and the independent agent channel. We believe this combination will create a stronger, more competitive platform, enhance our ability to serve policyholders and agents, and provide greater capacity to invest in our people, technology, products, and future growth through the independent agent channel.

This merger fortifies our commitment to Massachusetts and the New England region, the expansion of both personal and commercial lines product offerings and the independent agent market.

Benefits of the Merger

·

Greater financial strength: The combined organization will have enhanced scale and capacity to pursue growth opportunities.

·

Increased distribution breadth and expertise: The merger brings together one of the largest and most established independent agency networks in Massachusetts and expands our distribution breadth in New Hampshire and Maine.

·

Broader investment capacity: We will be better positioned to invest in data, technology, operations, advertising, and brand-building initiatives.

·

Improved market insight: Combining our experience and data will provide deeper insights into the Massachusetts insurance market to better serve our customers.

·

Expanded regional presence: The merger will strengthen our footprint in New Hampshire and Maine, where both companies currently have more limited market positions.

What This Means for Agents

For our agent partners, it is business as usual through both organizations. As noted above, Safety Insurance Group, Inc.'s four subsidiary insurance companies will become sister companies of Mapfre USA's insurance subsidiaries under the Mapfre USA umbrella. The Safety affiliates will maintain their current structure while both organizations evaluate opportunities to work together more effectively ensuring continuity for employees, agents and policyholders. The management team at Safety remains in its current form.
