and Chief Executive Officer of Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan
(the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;). Under the Plan, Mr. Murphy may sell up to 100,000 shares of Company common stock on the open market upon
the occurrence of certain pre-established conditions. Sales under the Plan begin June 6, 2016, and extend through December 6, 2016,

who has been with the Company for 36 years and is the beneficial owner of approximately 1% of the Company&rsquo;s common stock,
to diversify his investment portfolio in an orderly, prearranged manner. The Company maintains significant stock ownership requirements
for its executive officers and directors, and Mr. Murphy is and will remain fully compliant with them, including following the
