| (3) | Payout of Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one share of ProAssurance Corporation common stock, awarded under terms of, and issuable from, the ProAssurance 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The RSUs vested because the reporting person remained continuously employed by ProAssurance or one of its subsidiaries during the three-year vesting period that ended December 31, 2014. Vesting of 4,407 shares reduced by withholding 1,984 shares to cover the tax liability resulting from the vesting of this award. |

Any RSUs that are unvested on termination of employment will be forfeited. In addition, if a participant withdraws shares purchased for his or her account, matching unvested RSUs will be forfeited.
