In evaluating Mr. DeCoux's base salary for 2006, management considered a variety of factors, including the effectiveness of claims and personnel management in PMA Re and the attainment of specified individual performance objectives. Management also reviewed the survey data in the property and casualty and financial services industries on base salaries for executives in similar positions. Based upon these factors, management decided that Mr. DeCoux's annual base salary should be $231,100. Until his retirement effective January 31, 2007, Mr. DeCoux was the claims executive for the run-off of the Company's reinsurance operations. Accordingly, his compensation was designed to encourage him to remain in his position through selected phases of the run-off. In 2006, Mr. DeCoux received cash retention bonuses totaling $102,573 based on his continued employment through milestone dates and reduction of claims-related exposure. Based on the survey data described above, the Company believes that the base salary compensation paid to Mr. DeCoux for 2006 did not exceed the mean amount paid to executives in similar positions in the property and casualty and financial services industries. The aggregate compensation paid to Mr. DeCoux for 2006 reflects the unique nature of his role in a run-off operation, and is not specifically tied to the mean total compensation paid to executives in similar positions.
