Item 8.01.                Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on December 30, 2014, Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc., a Michigan corporation  entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Miracle Nova II (US), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Miracle Nova III (US), Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent , and the Company.  Also as previously disclosed, the stockholders of the Company approved the Merger Agreement at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 27, 2015.  The parties previously received notification of early termination of the antitrust compliance notification and waiting period (HSR).
                                                                                
On June 18, 2015, the Company received the required regulatory approvals from the Department of Insurance and Financial Services of the State of Michigan regarding the acquisition of control of the Company’s insurance company subsidiaries domiciled in Michigan, which include Star Insurance Company, Ameritrust Insurance Corporation, ProCentury Insurance Company and Williamsburg National Insurance Company.  The Company previously received approval from the Department of Insurance Securities and Banking in Washington D.C. for ProCentury Risk Partners Insurance Company.  Closing the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement remains subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions that have not yet been satisfied, including receipt of remaining required insurance regulatory approvals for its insurance companies commercially domiciled in the state  of California, as well as Missouri (Savers Property Casualty Insurance Company) and Ohio (Century Surety Company.)  The applications for insurance regulatory approvals in each of those states are substantially complete.
