FAQ

What did ERIE director Thomas B. Hagen report in this Form 4 filing?

Thomas B. Hagen reported updated share and derivative holdings in Erie Indemnity. The filing highlights indirect stakes through an estate, a family limited partnership, and a marital trust, plus a small increase of 82.838 deferred compensation share credits linked to Class A common stock.

How many deferred compensation share credits does ERIE’s director now hold?

The director’s deferred compensation account now holds 14,461.094 share credits. These credits track Erie Indemnity Class A common stock and were increased by 82.838 credits through dividend reinvestment, rather than open-market purchases, under the company’s Outside Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

How are ERIE Class B shares treated in this Form 4 disclosure?

Several Class B common stock positions are disclosed, both direct and indirect, each convertible into Erie Indemnity Class A shares. A footnote states Class B shares convert at 2,400 Class A shares for each Class B share, with no set exercise or expiration dates or specific exercise price.

What does the restructuring-type transaction in ERIE’s Form 4 represent?

The only non-holding transaction is code J, classified as “other.” It reflects 82.838 Directors’ Deferred Compensation Share Credits acquired via dividend reinvestment, not an open-market trade. This increases the director’s deferred share-credit balance without indicating a conventional buy or sell decision.

Does Thomas B. Hagen claim full beneficial ownership of all ERIE shares reported?

No. Footnotes explain he disclaims beneficial ownership of many indirectly held securities except for his pecuniary interest. Large positions are held through an estate, an irrevocable trust, and a family limited partnership, where he shares or exercises voting and investment powers but does not claim full ownership.
