      On May 10, 2001, ProAssurance Corporation entered into a $150 million Credit Agreement with a group of financial institutions led by SouthTrust Bank. The Credit Agreement provides ProAssurance with a term loan of up to $110 million and a revolving loan of up to $40 million. ProAssurance will use the term loan to help fund the cash consideration payable to Professionals Group shareholders in connection with the consolidation of Medical Assurance and Professionals Group under the ownership of ProAssurance. ProAssurance will use the revolving loan for general corporate purposes. The obligation of the lenders to fund both the term loan and the revolving loan is contingent upon the completion of the consolidation and certain other conditions described in the Credit Agreement filed herewith.

      On May 10, 2001, Medical Assurance issued a press release announcing that it had finalized financing arrangements for the planned consolidation of Medical Assurance and Professionals Group. The press release was filed as a Form 8-K filing by Medical Assurance on May 10, 2001 (the “Original 8-K”). Medical Assurance hereby amends the Original 8-K to include the Credit Agreement and other loan documents being filed herewith.
