Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation may include forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include
comments with respect to our objectives and strategies, and the results of our operations and business.
By their nature, however, these forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, risks,
uncertainties and opportunities, both general and specific. The risk exists that these statements may not be
fulfilled. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a number of
factors could cause future company results to differ materially from these statements.
Potential risks and uncertainties include fluctuations in interest rates and stock indices; cyclical changes in
our business; increased competition on the basis of pricing, coverage or other factors; developments in the
financial or capital markets; the loss of key personnel or the inability to recruit additional personnel; changes
in the availability, cost or quality of reinsurance or failure of our reinsurers to pay claims timely; changes in
our relationships with the agencies and agents that distribute our products; and a decline in our financial
ratings. The foregoing list is not exhaustive.
When
relying
on
forward-looking
statements
to
make
decisions,
investors
should
carefully
consider
the
aforementioned
factors
as
well
as
other
uncertainties
and
events
including
those
discussed
in
the
“Forward-
Looking Statements”
and “Risk Factors”
sections of Eastern Insurance Holdings, Inc.’s  Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009, which is on file with the SEC.
