We are in the process of converting all existing Empire Fire and Marine business to Zurich companies. Empire is owned by Zurich, so this is largely an internal adjustment, however requires non-renewal notices and rewrite offers onto new Zurich companies paper. We are providing the necessary notices accordingly.

Note that this change will greatly expand our access to Zurich companies transportation markets. We can now access a suite of transportation carriers within Zurich and use their new on-line rate and issuance tools.
