Item 5.02(f)
State Auto Financial Corporation (the
Company ) has a Long-Term Incentive Plan under which grants of cash-based performance award units ( PAUs ) are made to its Named Executive Officers ( NEOs ) and other
members of the Leadership Team. The value of a PAU is dependent upon the State Auto Groups relative performance to a peer group of other property and casualty insurers (the LTIP Peer Group ) during a three-year
performance period. The value of the PAU awards to the NEOs for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2013 (the 2011-2013 performance period ), was omitted from the Companys definitive Proxy
Statement dated April 1, 2014 (the 2014 Proxy Statement ) because, as of that date, the final LTIP Peer Group data for the 2011-2013 performance period was not available to the Company.
On May 1, 2014, the Companys Compensation Committee approved PAU awards for the 2011-2013 performance period for the NEOs identified in the 2014
Proxy Statement. Set forth below are the non-equity incentive compensation and total compensation for each NEO reported in the Summary Compensation Table on Page 46 of the 2014 Proxy Statement, as recalculated to include the value of the PAU awards
for the 2011-2013 performance period.
