On July 16, 2021, Christopher L. Harris advised James River Group Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) that he does not intend to seek reelection as a Class I director at the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders. Mr. Harris’ decision not to stand for re-election is not related to any disagreement between him and the Company.
Following the departure of Mr. Harris, the Company’s Board of Directors would have eight directors and two vacancies. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is currently identifying and evaluating potential additional Board members. The Committee may receive recommendations for director nominees from various sources such as officers and directors and it may also use third party consultants such as search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees. Any potential additional Board members who may be nominated as part of the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting would meet the standard for “independent” in accordance with the applicable director independence rules of NASDAQ and Institutional Shareholder Services currently in effect.
