articles of incorporation were adopted by our shareholders in October 2005. We refer to these articles of incorporation as our Current Articles. Since our Current Articles were adopted, Texas law governing corporations has been amended by the
adoption of the Texas Business Organizations Code, which we refer to as the TBOC. Effective January&nbsp;1, 2010, the TBOC replaced the Texas Business Corporation Act and certain other Texas corporate statutes governing our affairs. <I>As a result,
we are currently subject to the TBOC regardless of whether our shareholders approve this amendment.</I> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The TBOC was adopted
as part of a legislative effort to reorganize all Texas statutes into centralized codes grouped by subject matter. The stated purpose of the TBOC is to rearrange the disparate business statutes into a more logical order, employ a consistent format
and numbering system, eliminate duplicative and ineffective provisions and restate the law in modern American English. Generally, the TBOC is not intended to effect substantive changes in the Texas law governing business organizations. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2010, our Board approved an amendment to our Current Articles to reflect these changes in Texas law. As proposed, our Current
Articles will be renamed &#147;Certificate of Formation&#148; and will be amended in the form attached as <I>Appendix A</I>, subject to shareholder approval. Our Board has determined that this amendment is advisable and in the best interests of the
Company and our shareholders, and has submitted the amendment to be voted on by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Company, as well as internal and market comparisons. In setting base salaries for the executive officers of the Company, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide a reasonable level of fixed compensation that we believe is competitive with base
salaries for comparable positions at similar companies. In determining base salaries, the Committee also takes into account such factors as local cost of living, regional lifestyle, and corporate environment. At the request of the Committee, Allen
Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer, makes recommendations annually with respect to changes in base salary for our executive officers, other than for himself, as well as for other members of the senior management. Neither our Chief Executive
Officer nor any other executive officer participates in the Committee&#146;s decisions regarding the base salaries of our executive officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Annual Incentive Compensation</I>. The Compensation Committee believes that annual
incentive compensation is a key element of the total compensation of each executive officer. The Compensation Committee also believes that placing a significant portion of executive compensation at risk each year, subject to the results of Company
and individual performance, appropriately motivates executives to achieve the Company&#146;s financial and operational objectives, thereby enhancing shareholder value. As an executive or other key employee progresses to greater levels of
responsibility within the Company, the Compensation Committee believes that the annual incentive award should represent an increasing portion of total direct compensation. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The AMERISAFE, Inc. Management Annual Incentive Plan (&#147;<I>Annual Incentive Plan</I>&#148;) was developed by the Compensation
Committee in 2008 with the assistance of Schiffers Associates, a compensation consulting firm. Under the Annual Incentive Plan, annual awards are made based on achievement of Company financial and operational objectives and individual performance
goals. In establishing financial and operational objectives, the Committee primarily focuses on return on average equity (calculated on a GAAP basis), gross written premium, and net combined ratio. Although the Compensation Committee has retained
discretion in paying incentive awards, it has established target awards of up to 100% of base salary for our Chief Executive Officer, up to 70% of base salary for our Chief Operating Officer, and up to 60% of base salary for each of our other
executive officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Committee has not adopted a formal policy regarding recovery of incentive awards for fiscal years for
which financial results are later restated. While not anticipated, the Committee would expect to consider any restatement in exercising its discretion in connection with determining the payout of incentive and other compensation awards for
executives in the period immediately following such a restatement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Long-term Incentive Compensation</I>. In connection
with our initial public offering in November 2005, the Board and our shareholders approved our Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Committee and is designed to provide incentive compensation to executive officers
and other key employees. Grants of stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan are designed to align the interests of management with those of our shareholders and are intended as a long-term incentive for future performance. To date, all option
grants that have been awarded under our Equity Incentive Plan have been &#147;non-qualified&#148; stock options, thereby providing us with the ability to realize tax benefits upon the exercise of these option awards. The Committee also views these
awards as an additional means to encourage management retention. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Chief Executive Officer and two other executive officers
who were employed by the Company at the time of our initial public offering in November 2005 received significant stock option grants at that time. These executive officers have not received additional option grants since the initial public
offering. Since our initial public offering, we have made option grants to newly hired executive officers and to our current Chief Financial Officer in connection with her promotion to that position. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When making equity-based incentive awards to executive officers, the Committee takes into consideration the dates on which the Company
expects to make public announcements regarding earnings as well as other events or circumstances that have not been publicly announced that may be deemed material. The Compensation Committee&#146;s policy is to make discretionary equity-based
incentive awards only during periods in which executive officers and directors are permitted to make open market purchases and sales of Company securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee has not addressed the issue of whether the cumulative value of prior equity awards should be considered in
making future awards. However, our Compensation Committee intends to make appropriate executive compensation decisions annually, so that our executives receive a total compensation package that is both competitive, and has a significant component at
risk. The increase in the value of equity awards is directly linked to an increase in shareholder return, subject to continued employment by our executives with respect to unvested equity awards. The Committee believes, as a general matter, that
this positive result should not negatively impact future compensation decisions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Employee Benefits</I>. We do not provide our executives or other employees with defined
pension benefits, supplemental retirement benefits, post-retirement payments, or deferred compensation programs. We do provide a 401(k) defined contribution plan that is available to all employees. We match 50% of employee contributions up to 4% of
compensation for participating employees, subject to limitations under applicable law. Our executives and other employees are fully vested in Company contributions to this plan after five years. We also provide health, life, and other insurance
benefits to our executives on the same basis as our other full-time employees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Severance and Change-in-Control
Benefits</I>. We have employment agreements with each of our executive officers. Among other things, these employment agreements provide each executive officer with severance compensation consisting of cash severance payments paid in monthly
installments and continued health benefits for a period of 12 months (18 months for our Chief Executive Officer), in the event that an executive&#146;s employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive under certain circumstances. The
cash severance payment for the covered executives (other than our Chief Executive Officer) is an amount equal to the officer&#146;s then current annual base salary plus the average of the three most recent annual incentive bonuses received by the
executive. For our Chief Executive Officer, the cash severance payment is one and one-half times the amount described in the preceding sentence. These employment agreements also provide that the terminated executive will not engage in activities
that are competitive with our business for 12 months (18 months for our Chief Executive Officer). For additional information regarding the employment agreements with our executives, see &#147;Executive Compensation&#151;Employment Agreements&#148;
on page 26 of this proxy statement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the terms of our Equity Incentive Plan and the related award agreements, unvested
stock options and restricted stock awards become fully vested upon a change in control of the Company. Under the Annual Incentive Plan our executives would be entitled to receive a prorated portion of the executive&#146;s target incentive award for
the year in which a change in control occurs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee believes that these benefits are necessary and
appropriate in order to attract and retain qualified executive officers insofar as these benefits are generally made available by other companies. In addition, the Compensation Committee recognizes that it may be difficult for our executive officers
to find comparable employment in a short period of time and therefore these benefits address a valid concern, making an executive position with our Company more attractive. These issues are particularly significant to us, given that our corporate
headquarters are not located in a major metropolitan area and it is unlikely that our executives could secure comparable employment without relocating to another city. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Executive Perquisites</I>. Executive compensation also includes a limited number of perquisites that have historically been provided
to our executives and that the Committee believes enhance our ability to attract and retain qualified executives. These perquisites include car allowances, disability insurance, reimbursement for annual medical examinations, and limited club
memberships. Our executive officers are also permitted to accrue unused vacation on a more favorable basis than that available to other Company employees. Our employees (other than executive officers) are permitted to accrue up to 150% of their
annual vacation time. Our executive officers are permitted to accrue up to 200 hours of vacation, a limit slightly higher than the 180 hour maximum available to employees with more than ten years of service. The Compensation Committee believes that
this policy is appropriate given that the management responsibilities of our executive officers often do not permit them the flexibility to utilize their vacation time on an annual basis. For additional information regarding perquisites provided to
our executives, see &#147;Executive Compensation&#151;All Other Compensation&#148; on page 25 of this proxy statement. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Stock Ownership Guidelines</I>. The Compensation Committee has approved stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers. The
target ownership by our Chief Executive Officer is a dollar amount equal to three times his average base salary and annual incentive bonus for the three immediately preceding calendar years. The target ownership for each of our other executive
officers is a dollar amount equal to two times their average base salary for the three immediately preceding calendar years (or, if less, all complete calendar years employed by </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Base Salary</I>. At the Compensation Committee meeting in March 2009, the Committee and Mr.&nbsp;Bradley discussed the then-current
economic environment and the challenges facing the Company as a result of those conditions. Mr.&nbsp;Bradley advised the Committee that he had instructed each Company department to hold 2009 salary increases to 2.5% in the aggregate. He requested
that the Compensation Committee limit any increase in base salaries for executive officers in the same manner. Mr.&nbsp;Bradley recommended that the Compensation Committee not increase his base salary. He also recommended that the base salaries of
Mr.&nbsp;Banta and Ms.&nbsp;Frost not be increased because those executives had recently received increases in base salary in connection with promotions in November 2008. The Compensation Committee increased Mr.&nbsp;Leach&#146;s base salary by 2.6%
to $241,000, and increased the base salaries of two other executive officers by approximately 7%. The base salaries of these two other executive officers were increased by a larger percentage in an effort to more closely align the base salaries of
our executive vice presidents. The aggregate increase in the base salaries of executive officers employed in those positions during all of 2009 was 2.6%. </FONT></P>

executive officer, other than Mr.&nbsp;Gau, under our annual incentive compensation plan. The target awards were set at a percentage of the individual executive officer&#146;s base salary and were subject to achievement of Company and individual
performance goals. The Compensation Committee established the same Company performance goals for each of our executive officers and established individual performance goals for each executive officer, other than our Chief Executive Officer. The
individual performance goals established were principally qualitative rather than quantitative. For our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee did not establish individual performance goals. Rather, the Compensation Committee determined
to evaluate his overall performance in leading the Company during the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee approved a target
annual incentive award opportunity for Mr.&nbsp;Gau in connection with his joining the Company in June 2009, which award was to be prorated for time worked during 2009. The Company performance goals established for Mr.&nbsp;Gau were consistent with
those established for the other named executive officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following table sets forth the target award opportunity for

then existing employment agreements with each of these officers. In November 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms.&nbsp;Frost in connection with her promotion to Chief Financial Officer. Each of these employment agreements expires
on March&nbsp;1, 2011, unless extended. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Gau at the time he joined the Company in June 2009, the term of which expires in June 2012 unless extended. The term of each agreement is automatically
extended for an additional consecutive one-year period unless either party provides notice not to extend the term at least 30 days prior to the applicable expiration date. The agreements provide for an annual base salary of not less than $425,000
for Mr.&nbsp;Bradley, $175,000 for Ms.&nbsp;Frost, $255,000 for Mr.&nbsp;Banta, $235,000 for Mr.&nbsp;Leach, and $165,000 for Mr.&nbsp;Gau. The officers are also eligible to receive an annual incentive award under our Annual Incentive Plan or any
subsequent annual incentive plan that we may adopt. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under these agreements, if we terminate the employment of one of our
executive officers without cause or the executive officer terminates his or her employment for good reason (as defined in the agreements), the terminated executive officer will be entitled to receive severance compensation consisting of cash
severance paid in installments, and continued health benefits, for a period of 12 months (18 months for our Chief Executive Officer). The cash severance payment for the covered executives (other than our Chief Executive Officer) is an amount equal
to the officer&#146;s then current annual base salary plus the average annual incentive award received by the executive in the prior three years. For our Chief Executive Officer, the cash severance payment is one and one-half times the amount
described in the preceding sentence. These employment agreements also provide that the terminated executive will not engage in activities that are competitive with our business for 12 months (18 months for our Chief Executive Officer). </FONT></P>

Company and a related party have an interest. A related party is one of the Company&#146;s executive officers, directors, director nominees, a person owning more than 5% of any class of the Company&#146;s securities, an entity in which any of such
persons is employed or is a partner or principal, or an immediate family member of such a person. Related party transactions involving $50,000 or more are required, when circumstances permit, to be submitted to and approved by the Audit Committee at
a regular meeting held in advance of the transaction. The chair of the Audit Committee has the authority to approve related party transactions in circumstances in which the Company&#146;s general counsel determines it is impracticable or undesirable
to wait until the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting. Aspects of proposed related party transactions to be considered in granting approval include whether the transaction benefits the Company, whether the goods or services in question
are available from other sources, and whether the terms of the proposed transaction are comparable to those available in transactions with unrelated third parties. </FONT></P>
