On October 8, 2019, James River announced that it had canceled all insurance policies issued to Rasier and its affiliates, which placed the entire account in runoff. As a result, the Company incurred a "[p]re-tax, adverse development" charge of up to $60 million for the third quarter of 2019. On this news, James River's stock price declined $11.06 per share, or approximately 23%.

Then later, on May 5, 2021, James River disclosed an additional $170 million "unfavorable development" charge as a result of a re-assessment of expected payouts on claims related to a "previously canceled account" that had been in runoff since 2019. As a result, the next day, James River also announced that it would price its previously announced underwritten public stock offering at $31 per share-representing a 33% discount from the Company's closing stock price on the previous day.

On this news, James River's stock price declined $12.27 per share, or over 26%, to close at $34.23 on May 6, 2021. To obtain additional information, go to:
