Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On November 29, 2011, at a special meeting of shareholders of Penn Millers Holding Corporation (“Penn Millers”), Penn Millers’ shareholders approved the following proposals (with the final results for each proposal set forth below): (1) the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 7, 2011 by and among Penn Millers, ACE American Insurance Company and Panther Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger Agreement”); and (2) the proposal to approve on a non-binding, advisory basis, the “golden parachute” compensation that may be payable to Penn Millers’ named executive officers in connection with the merger. Because the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the special meeting, the shareholders did not consider or vote on the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. The proposals are described in Penn Millers’ proxy statement dated as of October 21, 2011 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results of the shareholders’ vote for each of the proposals were as follows:

1. The proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
