RLI Corp. (NYSE: RLI) – RLI Corp. announced today that Jonathan E. Michael, Chairman of the Board, will retire from the Board of Directors at the conclusion of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in May, consistent with the Company’s established succession plan.

Michael, who retired as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in 2021, has more than 40 years of service with RLI. During Michael’s 20-year tenure as CEO, the company significantly diversified its product portfolio, while delivering consistent top line growth and achieving 20 consecutive years of underwriting profit.

He has 45 years of global reinsurance and insurance industry experience, which included roles as CEO of QBE North America and XL Insurance.

“It has been a privilege to serve alongside RLI’s dedicated employee owners for the past 41 years,” said Michael. “RLI is an extraordinary company. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to lead the organization and work with our visionary founder, Jerry Stephens, during my career. Given the strength of our people, culture and values, I believe the Company is well-positioned for continued success.”
