EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) is made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by the undersigned with respect to the Class A Common Stock, no par value per share, of Protective Insurance Corporation. This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements that certain Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 1986 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 23, 2020 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 filed on June 17, 2020 (“Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3 filed August 18, 2020 (“Amendment No. 3”), and Amendment No. 4 filed January 19, 2021 (“Amendment No. 4” and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and this Amendment No. 5, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Voting Agreement

 

On February 14, 2021, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with The Progressive Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Progressive”), and Carnation Merger Sub Inc., an Indiana corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Progressive (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Progressive (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (together, the “Issuer Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as specified and defined in the Merger Agreement ). This summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete.

 

As a condition and inducement to Progressive entering into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders (as defined in the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement), Nathan Shapiro and Steven Shapiro (collectively, the “Shareholder Parties”), the Issuer and Progressive entered into a Voting and Support Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2021 (the “Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Shareholder Parties agreed, among other things, to cause the 919,564 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Act) by the Reporting Persons, and any other shares of Class A Common Stock of which they acquire beneficial ownership during the term of the Voting Agreement, (collectively, the “Covered Shares”) to be voted (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) in favor of any action reasonably requested by Progressive or the Issuer’s board of directors in furtherance of the foregoing, including any proposal to adjourn or postpone a meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (iii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Issuer contained in the Merger Agreement or of a Shareholder Party contained in the Voting Agreement, (B) result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being satisfied or (C) impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iv) against any Takeover Proposal (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) or Superior Proposal (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Voting Agreement.

 

Under the Voting Agreement, the Shareholder Parties also agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, encumber or dispose of any of the Covered Shares, or enter into a contract or understanding with respect to the voting, sale or other transfer of voting rights to the Covered Shares, except as permitted under the Voting Agreement.

 

Page 20 of 25 pages

 

 

From the date of the Voting Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Parties agreed not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the making of any proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any of the Issuer’s or its subsidiaries’ confidential information with respect to, any Takeover Proposal or (iii) enter into any Takeover Proposal Documentation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to a Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Issuer’s board of directors has determined, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, that an unsolicited bona fide written Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, if the Issuer is participating in discussions and negotiations with, or furnishing information to the person making such Takeover Proposal pursuant to and in compliance with the Merger Agreement, then the Shareholder Parties and their respective Representatives may, at the request and direction of the special committee of the Issuer’s board of directors, also take such actions. 

 

Each Shareholder Party also agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take or encourage any third party to take any action, including filing any claim, action, suit or proceeding in a court of applicable jurisdiction seeking a judicial order, to demand or cause an annual meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders to be held or (ii) in the event that the Issuer holds an annual meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders prior to the termination of the Voting Agreement, nominate any director candidate for election at such meeting or solicit proxies in support of any nominee for election at such meeting (notwithstanding any advance notice of any such nominations that may have been provided).

 

The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the Effective Time; (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (iii) with respect to any Shareholder Party, the entry without the prior written consent of such Shareholder Party, into any amendment, modification or waiver to the Merger Agreement that results in (x) a decrease in, or a change in the form of, the merger consideration payable to holders of the Issuer Stock or (y) an extension of the outside termination date for the Merger Agreement.

 

This summary of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Expense Reimbursement Agreement

 

On February 14, 2021, the Shareholder Parties and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) providing, among other things, that the Issuer will reimburse the Shareholder Parties in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of $750,000 and the Reimbursement Payment (as defined in the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement).

 

This summary of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.4 to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Restated Contingent Sale Agreement

 

On February 14, 2021, pursuant to the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement, the Shareholder Parties delivered a Transaction Notice (as defined in the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement) to the Offering Parties, whereupon the Offering Parties’ obligation to make an Offer pursuant to the Restated Contingent Sale Agreement was immediately and irrevocably terminated.

 

Statement on Form A

 

In light of the pending transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Applicants have withdrawn the Statement on Form A filed with the Department on January 15, 2021.
