Exhibit 99.2

PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 1, 2011, The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THG” or “the Company”), completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Chaucer Holdings PLC, a U.K.-based insurance business (“Chaucer”). In accordance the terms of the Acquisition, 440 Tessera Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased all of the shares of Chaucer. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase business combination by THG of Chaucer under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The purchase price totaled $490.5 million, including transaction costs of approximately $11 million. The purchase price was funded by $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes issued on June 17, 2011, in addition to cash held by THG.

The Preliminary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011 (“Combined Balance Sheet”) combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of THG and Chaucer, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated June 30, 2011. The Preliminary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statements (“Combined Income Statement”) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 combines the historical consolidated statements of income of THG and Chaucer, giving effect to the acquisition and issuance of debt as if they had occurred on January 1, 2010. We have adjusted the historical consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. You should read this information in conjunction with:

 

   

The accompanying notes to the preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;

 

   

THG’s separate historical unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included in THG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011;

 

   

THG’s separate historical audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in THG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010; and

 

   

Chaucer’s separate historical audited financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 presented in UK Pounds Sterling (“GBP”) and included as Exhibit 99-1 to THG’s Form 8-K, which was filed with the Commission on June 14, 2011.

Chaucer’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS which may vary from US GAAP and are presented in GBP. Adjustments to convert the Chaucer financial statements from IFRS to US GAAP are not significant and are included in the Historical Chaucer column of the accompanying preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Chaucer historical balances have been translated from GBP to US Dollars using a spot rate of 1.6053 at June 30, 2011 and an average rate of 1.6017 for the six months then ended. For the year ended December 31, 2010, an average rate of 1.5545 was used to translate amounts from GBP to US Dollars.


Forward-Looking Statements; Estimates and Risk Factors

Statements included herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor to “forward-looking statements” provided by such act. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “expects”, “should”, “may”, “estimate”, “will” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties. The Company cannot be certain that any estimates, expectations or assumptions made by its management in preparing these forward-looking statements will prove accurate. The Company cautions investors that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results could differ materially. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of their initial issuance, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “Combined Financial Statements”) have been prepared for informational purposes only. The preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustments (the “Pro forma Adjustments”) represent management’s estimates, and significant judgment is required for determining fair values, including, without limitation, fair values of assets, liabilities, commitments, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, intangible assets, goodwill, and deferred tax assets. Management’s estimates are based on information available at this time, expectations and assumptions including, without limitation, with respect to foreign currency rates, investment returns, claims (both with respect to current year and prior year development) and expected profitability and are not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition been completed at the dates indicated. In addition, the Combined Financial Statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The Combined Financial Statements do not give consideration to the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, synergies, asset dispositions, or other actions or effects that may result from the acquisition.

The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared using the purchase method of accounting with THG as the acquirer. Accordingly, THG’s cost to acquire Chaucer has been allocated to the acquired assets, liabilities and commitments based upon their estimated fair values at the date indicated. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair values of Chaucer’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may be materially different from the Pro forma Adjustments presented herein.

Investors are directed to consider the risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business that may affect future performance and that are discussed in readily available documents, including the Company’s annual report and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTES TO PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 – Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

On July 1, 2011, THG completed the previously announced acquisition of Chaucer. The transaction is accounted for as a purchase business combination by THG of Chaucer under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The purchase price totaled $490.5 million, including transaction costs of approximately $11 million. The purchase price was funded by $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes issued on June 17, 2011, in addition to cash held by THG. The Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011 reflects the acquisition as if it occurred on June 30, 2011. The Combined Income Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the acquisition and issuance of debt as if they occurred on January 1, 2010.

The purchase price has been allocated as follows based upon purchase accounting adjustments as of June 30, 2011 (in millions):

The Combined Financial Statements presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.

The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the acquisition is accounted for under the purchase method of accounting (referred to as purchase accounting), in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards of the United States, with THG as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, under purchase accounting, the assets, liabilities and commitments of Chaucer are adjusted to their fair value. For purposes of the Combined Financial Statements, consideration has also been given to the impact of conforming Chaucer’s accounting policies to those of THG. Additionally, certain amounts in the historical consolidated financial statements of Chaucer have been reclassified to conform to the THG financial statement presentation. The Combined Financial Statements do not give consideration to the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, synergies, asset dispositions or other actions or effects that may result from the acquisition.

The Pro forma Adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available at this time. Actual adjustments to the combined balance sheet and income statement will differ, perhaps materially, from those reflected in these Combined Financial Statements because the assets and liabilities of Chaucer will be recorded at their respective fair values and the preliminary assumptions used to estimate these fair values may change between now and the finalization of the application of purchase accounting principles.

The Pro forma Adjustments included herein are subject to other updates as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after completion of a

 

6


thorough analysis to determine the fair values of Chaucer’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments, including conforming of Chaucer’s accounting policies to those of THG, could be materially different from the Pro forma Adjustments presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of Chaucer’s assets, liabilities, commitments, contracts and other items as compared to the information shown herein will change the purchase price allocable to intangible assets and may impact the combined income statement due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization or accretion related to the adjusted assets or liabilities.

Note 2 – Pro Forma Adjustments

The purchase price for the stock of Chaucer totaled $490.5 million which included transaction costs of approximately $11 million.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves and Reinsurance Recoverables

An adjustment has been applied to Chaucer’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves to estimate their fair value. Since such reserves are not traded in a secondary market, the determination of a fair value is approximated by using risk-adjusted present value techniques. Such techniques require application of significant judgment and assumptions.

The fair value adjustment that was applied included (1) discounting the reserves at risk-free rates of interest over their expected payout based on historical patterns and (2) adding a risk factor that reflects the uncertainty within the reserves. Various methodologies were considered to address the uncertainty in the reserves, including alternative measures of the opportunity cost of capital and other underlying factors.

For purposes of the Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011, the range of risk-free rates of interest applied to the fair value adjustment was approximately 0.7% to 4.5%, over the assumed payout period.

A similar methodology was applied to the related ceded reinsurance recoverables.

These estimates are subject to change, based on continuing refinement of the methodologies underlying risk factor development. As a result, the amount of the final purchase accounting adjustment and subsequent accretion could differ materially from the amounts presented in the Combined Financial Statements.

Note 5 – Earnings Per Share

For June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the pro forma net income per common share has been computed based on the combined historical income of THG and Chaucer and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments.
