$200M buyback authorization, prior $100M plan retired

Selective Insurance Group disclosed a Board-approved share repurchase authorization of $200,000,000 effective October 27, 2025. The mechanisms listed permit execution through open market purchases, potential Rule 10b5-1 plans, privately negotiated trades, block trades, and accelerated share repurchase structures.

The program carries no expiration and no obligation to repurchase a minimum amount, giving flexibility to adjust activity based on stock price, market conditions, regulatory requirements, and capital deployment alternatives listed in the disclosure. The Board can amend or terminate the program at any time.

The company will discontinue the prior $100,000,000 authorization at close of business on October 24, 2025, with all activity shifting to the new program on October 27, 2025. Actual impact depends on repurchase pace and pricing, which will be evident in subsequent disclosures.
