This action stems from a Proposed Transaction announced on August 22, 2018, pursuant to which The Navigators Group, Inc. (“Navigators” or the “Company”) will be acquired by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and Renato Acquisition Co. (together, “Hartford”).

According to the Complaint, Navigators is a global specialty insurance holding company. The Company provides customized insurance solutions designed to protect clients from complex risks. The Company serves the following industries: maritime, construction, energy, environmental, professional services, and life sciences.

On October 12, 2018, Defendants filed a Proxy Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Complaint alleges that the Proxy Statement, which scheduled a stockholder vote on the Proposed Transaction for November 16, 2018, omits material information with respect to the Proposed Transaction, which renders the Proxy Statement false and misleading.

This case was voluntarily dismissed on February 25, 2019.
