provider of healthcare liability insurance for physicians, oral and
maxillofacial surgeons, and other healthcare providers, as well as
medical groups and healthcare facilities. Since the Company was
founded in 1976, it has carved out a significant niche in the
insurance industry by providing innovative products and services
for the healthcare community. On October 16, 2007, the Company
announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be
acquired by The Doctors Company, a physician-owned medical
malpractice carrier headquartered in Napa, California. The
transaction is subject to the customary closing conditions,
including regulatory approvals and the approval of the Company�s
stockholders. A special meeting of stockholders to approve this
transaction is scheduled for March 26, 2008, at 10 am Pacific Time,
at the Company�s headquarters, 1888 Century Park East, Los Angeles,
CA 90067. Additional Information and Where to Find It On January
30, 2008, SCPIE filed a definitive proxy statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with its
proposed acquisition by The Doctors Company. The proxy statement
has been mailed to SCPIE�s stockholders, who are urged to read the
proxy statement and other relevant materials filed with the SEC
because they contain important information about the acquisition.
Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these
documents and other documents filed with the SEC at the SEC�s
website at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and security holders
may obtain free copies of the documents filed with the SEC by SCPIE
at the Investors/Media section on its corporate website at
www.scpie.com. SCPIE�s executive officers and directors may be
participants in the solicitation of proxies from SCPIE stockholders
with respect to the acquisition. Information about SCPIE�s
executive officers and directors, and their ownership of SCPIE
Holdings common stock, is set forth in the definitive proxy
statement SCPIE filed with the SEC on January 30, 2008, and in the
reports filed by the executive officers and directors under Section
16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since such
date. Additional information regarding the direct and indirect
interests of SCPIE�s executive officers and directors in the
acquisition is in the definitive proxy statement. In addition to
historical information, this news release contains forward-looking
statements that are based upon the Company�s estimates and
expectations concerning future events and are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
Actuarial estimates of losses and loss expenses and expectations
concerning the Company�s ability to retain current insureds at
profitable levels, successful withdrawal from the assumed
reinsurance business, continued solvency of the Company�s
reinsurers, obtaining rate change regulatory approvals, expansion
of liability insurance business in its principal market, and
improved performance and profitability are dependent upon a variety
of factors, including future economic, competitive and market
conditions, frequency and severity of catastrophic events, future
legislative and regulatory actions, uncertainties and potential
delays in obtaining rate approvals, the level of ratings from
recognized rating services, the inherent uncertainty of loss and
loss expense estimates in both the core business and discontinued
non-core business and the cyclical nature of the property and
casualty insurance industry, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the
control of the Company. The Company is also subject to certain
structural risks as an insurance holding company, including
statutory restrictions on dividends and other intercompany
transactions. Risks and uncertainties regarding the pending
transaction with The Doctors Company include the possibility that
the closing does not occur, or is delayed, due to the failure of
closing conditions (including approval by the Company�s
stockholders and regulatory authorities) and risks that the pending
transaction could disrupt current plans and opportunities of the
Company. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from
the forward-looking statements contained herein and that may affect
the Company�s prospects are included in the Company�s other filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking
information herein, the inclusion of such information should not be
regarded as representation by the Company or any other person that
the Company�s objectives or plans will be realized. SCPIE Holdings
