[1] | (a)Inactive claims represent pending claims in Mississippi filed in 2004 or prior, which have been excluded from our asbestos measurement because the plaintiffs cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. As such, management believes these claims have little-to-no value. There were no inactive claims dismissed or settled during the first quarter of 2015 or 2014.
