<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Board of Directors of Selective (the
 &ldquo;<U>Board</U>&rdquo;) adopted the Plan to motivate independent insurance agencies that sell products and services for the
Insurance Subsidiaries by enabling them to participate in Selective&rsquo;s long-term growth and success and to help align their
success with those interests of Selective&rsquo;s stockholders. The Plan was adopted at Selective&rsquo;s 2006 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on April 26, 2006. The Plan was amended and restated effective July 27, 2010 and February 1, 2017. The Plan is
not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Plan allows Selective&rsquo;s independent
insurance agencies and their eligible principals, key employees, and benefit plans, as described further below, to purchase shares
of its Common Stock at a discount. Participants in the Plan may purchase shares of Common Stock with cash or electronic funds through
the Automated Clearing House (&ldquo;<U>ACH</U>&rdquo;) or may elect to apply all or a portion of their distributions from Selective&rsquo;s
profit sharing program for agents to the purchase of shares of Common Stock under the Plan. Each eligible insurance agency, together
with its eligible persons, may invest up to the maximum contribution amount (as described in the chart below) per calendar quarter
under the Plan. Selective offers shares of its Common Stock under the Plan at a 10% discount from market value on the date of purchase,
and participants do not pay any brokerage commissions or other charges on their purchases of shares under the Plan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The following discussion summarizes certain
United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase of stock under the Plan. The summary does not purport to address
federal employment tax or other federal non-income tax consequences, or state, local, or foreign tax consequences that may be associated
with the Plan or the ownership of shares purchased pursuant to the Plan. In addition, this summary does not purport to address
the special tax rules that may apply to the purchase of shares under the Plan and the sale of shares acquired through the Plan
by individual retirement plans of Principals and Key Employees, by Keogh plans of Principals and Key Employees and by employee
benefit plans of an Eligible Agency. Further, the summary is based on the law as in effect on the date of this registration statement,
which is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion does not take into account any considerations that
may relate to special classes of taxpayers, including, but not limited to, participants that are subject to the alternative minimum
tax or participants that are not &ldquo;United States persons&rdquo; (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">A participant will not recognize taxable
income when the participant&rsquo;s participation in the Plan begins (i.e., the first day of the enrollment period in the Plan).
However, a participant will, at the time shares are purchased, recognize as ordinary income (determined without reduction for brokerage
fees or other costs paid in connection with the purchase) an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares
on the date of purchase over the purchase price.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Distributions to a participant from Selective
(other than certain redemption distributions) will generally be treated as dividend income.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">When a participant makes a taxable disposition
of shares acquired through the Plan, they will generally recognize either a capital gain or loss measured by the difference between
the consideration received and the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase. If the participant has held such shares
for more than one year, any capital gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss. If the participant has held
such shares for one year or less, any capital gain or loss will generally be short-term capital gain or loss. The holding period
for a share acquired under the Plan begins on the purchase date. Special rules apply in the case of the death of a participant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Non-corporate taxpayers are generally subject
to federal income tax at reduced rates on adjusted net capital gain. Adjusted net capital gain is generally the excess of net long-term
capital gain (the net gain on capital assets held for more than one year) over net short-term capital loss (the net loss on capital
assets held for one year or less), subject to certain adjustments. Net short-term capital gain (<I>i.e.</I>, net gain on assets
held for one year or less) is subject to tax at the same rates as ordinary income. A non-corporate taxpayer can deduct up to $3,000
($1,500 for married taxpayers filing separately) of net capital losses against ordinary income in any year. Excess capital losses
of a non-corporate taxpayer that are not used to reduce ordinary income in a particular taxable year generally may not be carried
back, but may be carried forward to, and treated as capital losses incurred in, future years.</P>

Certificate of Incorporation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of Selective&rsquo;s assets, or other business
combination involving an interested stockholder holding 10% or more of the voting power of its capital stock requires the affirmative
vote of two-thirds of its outstanding voting stock unless the transaction has been approved by a majority of those members of the
Board who are not affiliated with the interested stockholder or unless the interested stockholder offers a fair price and reasonably
uniform terms to all other stockholders, as described in Selective&rsquo;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Additionally,
our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that a director may be removed from office by our stockholders

of directors. The vote of two-thirds of Selective&rsquo;s outstanding voting stock is required to amend or repeal these provisions.</P>

laws require prior approval by state insurance departments of any acquisition of control of an insurance company domiciled in the
state or a company which controls an insurance company domiciled in the state. For this purpose, control generally includes ownership
of 10% or more of the voting securities of, or the possession of proxies representing 10% or more, of an insurance company or insurance
holding company, unless the state insurance commissioner determines otherwise. As such, any purchase of 10% or more of the Common
Stock of Selective could require approval of the insurance departments in the states mentioned above.</P>
