SCPIE Holdings Inc. (the Company) is filing this Schedule 14A to publicly disclose the following form of letter that
the Company intends to send to certain of its insureds:
URGENT BUSINESS MATTER
Dear <<Insureds Name>>,
SCPIE needs your support!
Our Board of Directors recommends and asks that you vote
FOR
our companys merger with The Doctors Company (TDC), which has agreed to pay $28 per share in cash, subject to certain conditions, including approval of the merger by our stockholders.
The Board, after a diligent review and robust auction process, determined that this transaction is the
most direct path to maximizing stockholder value. As a SCPIE stockholder, you will receive $28 for each share of stock you own if the merger is consummated.
As part of the acquisition, TDC will honor all agreements between SCPIE and our insureds for policies written in 2008. This includes premium rates, coverage terms, limits of
liability and retirement tail vesting. TDC has also assured us that it will staff a full-service office in Los Angeles, in addition to maintaining the high level of service that SCPIE insureds have enjoyed for more than 30 years.
At your earliest convenience, please mark
FOR
on the attached Proxy Fax ballot.
Then sign and date your ballot and fax it back to us at 800/750-5858. No cover sheet is needed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call our Policyholder Services Department at 310/712-5800 or 800/557-2743.
Sincerely,
Mitchell
S. Karlan MD
Chairman, Board of Directors
Additional Information and Where to Find It
On January 30, 2008, SCPIE filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with its proposed acquisition by The Doctors
Company. The proxy statement has been mailed to SCPIEs stockholders, who are urged to read the proxy statement and other relevant materials filed with the SEC because they contain important information about the acquisition. Investors and
security holders may obtain free copies of these documents and other documents filed with the SEC at the SECs website at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed with the SEC by
SCPIE at the Investors/Media section on its corporate website at www.scpie.com.
SCPIEs executive officers and directors may be participants in the solicitation of proxies from SCPIE stockholders with respect to the acquisition. Information about SCPIEs executive officers and directors, and their ownership
of SCPIE Holdings common stock, is set forth in the definitive proxy statement SCPIE filed with the SEC on January 30, 2008, and in the reports filed by the executive officers and directors under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, since such date. Additional information regarding the direct and indirect interests of SCPIEs executive officers and directors in the acquisition is in the definitive proxy statement.
