Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	As of the date of this Form 3, Mr. Sande has no direct or indirect beneficial interests in any security of Employers Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"). Mr. Sande is a partner of Jones Vargas, a Nevada law firm, which holds a policy issued by Employers Insurance Company of Nevada, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The policy owned by Jones Vargas entitles it to receive consideration consisting of an estimated 1,917 shares of common stock (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option granted by the Company to the underwriters) as a result of the conversion of the Company from a Nevada mutual insurance company owned by its members to a Nevada stock corporation. If the over-allotment option is exercised, Jones Vargas' entitlement to consideration in the conversion will change.
(2)	By virtue of his ownership interests in Jones Vargas, Mr. Sande may be deemed to beneficially own any shares listed as beneficially owned by Jones Vargas. Mr. Sande will disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein and the inclusion of the shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
