Erie Indemnity ended 2012 with strong gains in both net income and earnings per share driven primarily by strong top line growth and positive year-over-year investment results. Combined, these lead to an Indemnity net income per share diluted for the quarter of $0.56 compared to $0.49 last year. Direct written premium of the Exchange, which drives Indemnity’s management fee revenue, remained strong, up 9.9% for the fourth quarter. Higher average premium per policy in all of our major lines of business contributed to the increase in revenue. In 2012, thanks to the efforts of our agents and employees, we increased polices by 3.9% and our policy retention rate increased to a strong 90.9% at year end. Our 2012 results reflect success in our key initiatives, service responsiveness, as well as the engagement of our agency force. These initiatives, which will continue in 2013, focused on three strategic priorities; ease of doing business, innovation, and service excellence. One of the initiatives that encompasses all of our strategic priorities, is the progress made in the last year in helping our agents quote and bind seamlessly using our new quoting system for auto. During the fourth quarter, the system was fully deployed in all states where we write business. Agent feedback has been positive, and we will continue to enhance the system’s capability throughout this year. Another way we’re working better to serve our agents is with our marketing portal. This portal not only makes it easier for agents to find materials, but provides ease in mailing or e-mailing to targeted prospects, keeping in touch with existing customers and ultimately improving cross-selling opportunities. Agent use has been robust in the fourth quarter and we are working closely with them to ensure that portal becomes efficient and valuable as a tool. Our marketing efforts throughout 2012 have yielded strong results adding to Erie’s market share gains in all states where we write business. One of these is our Go Local campaign, which is building brand awareness for Erie in a number of markets throughout our footprint. In fact, as independent agency force reduces their marketing efforts, Erie agents are more engaged than ever in marketing our products. They are participating in high rates in Erie’s co-op marketing programming effectively cobranding with Erie. This will pay off in the future as we work with our agents to build brand awareness and sales. With that I’ll now turn the call over to Marcia to review the financials for the quarter and the year. Marcia A. Dall: Thank you, Terry and good morning everyone. Today, I’ll share results for the fourth quarter and the full-year 2012. First, let’s look at our fourth quarter results. After-tax net income for the quarter was $30 million compared to $26 million for the same period a year ago. On a per diluted share basis, net income was $0.56 per share in the current quarter compared to $0.49 per share in the prior year quarter. Our management operations income was flat year-over-year and our investment results were slightly higher. Management fee revenue was $275 million in the fourth quarter 2012, up 10% from the prior year and consistent with the 10% increase in direct written premiums of the exchange. While we continue to take rate increases where appropriate, our customer retention remains strong at 90.9% resulting in an 8% increase in renewal premium. Our agency force is generating higher levels of new business in both personal and commercial lines. New business premiums increased 27% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 driven by a 21% increase in new policies and an increase of 8%, an average premium per policy. Cost of management operations was $249 million or 11% over the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to an increase in volume related commission expenses. The gross margin from our management operations in the fourth quarter of 2012 was 12%, compared to 13% a year earlier. It is important to note that our fourth quarter gross margin is typically lower due to the seasonality of our written premiums and management fees. Now, turning to the results of our investment operations, Indemnity recorded a profit before taxes of $10 million compared to a profit before taxes of $7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in investment results over the prior year was driven primarily from gains on limited partnerships of $5 million compared to gains of $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Now I’ll move on to our full-year 2012 results. Indemnity’s net income totaled $160 million or $2.99 per share diluted compared to $169 million or $3.08 per share diluted in 2011. The decrease in net income was primarily from lower investment income driven by a reduction in limited partnership income and a slight decrease in management margins. Income before taxes in our management operations was $205 million for the year compared to $208 million in 2011. The 2012 result was driven primarily by an 8% increase in the direct written premiums of the Exchange, offset by a 10% increase in total cost of operations. We were able to see consistent progressions in our premium growth throughout 2012 as we added more new policies, maintained our strong retention and increased average premium per policy. Turning back to our management operations for the year, the gross margin was 17% in 2012 compared to 19% in 2011. And finally the results of our investment operations, Indemnity ended the year with profit before taxes of $36 million, down $9 million due to the performance of alternative real estate investments. Now let’s look at our share repurchases for the fourth quarter and full-year. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we repurchased approximately 235,000 shares of our outstanding Class A common stock at a total cost of $16 million. For the full year 2012, we repurchased approximately 1 million Class A shares at a total cost of $70 million. As of December 31, we have approximately $68 million remaining in our share repurchase program. Now, I’ll turn the call back over to Terry. Terrence W. Cavanaugh: Thank you, Marcia. In addition to the ongoing share repurchase program, our Board increased the regular quarterly cash dividend 7.2% on class A and class B shares in November. The Board also declared a special one-time cash dividend of $2 on class A shares and $300 on class B shares, which was also paid in 2012. Our Board of Directors also voted to maintain a 25% management fee rate going forward in 2013. In 2013, we’re building on the momentum we achieved in 2012. The Erie team remains engaged and focused on our three primary initiatives; ease of doing business, innovation and service excellence. In each of these areas, we’re aiming for tangible gains that will move the business forward and enhance the Erie brand experience for agents and customers. In turn, we create value for you, our shareholders. Erie’s long-standing commitment to do what’s right for the people and the communities we serve is what drives us towards excellence to be above all in service. Our employees actively demonstrate this commitment in every aspect of their work. This is what makes Erie strong and drives our long-term success. And now, I’ll turn the call back over to the operator to open the line for questions.

(Operator Instructions) And the first question comes from Ray Iardella of Macquarie. Please go ahead. Chris Maimone – Macquarie Capital: Hi, good morning, and thanks for taking the call. This is actually Chris Maimone, Ray’s associate. I was hoping you guys could talk a little bit about the gross margin for management operations. Maybe you could help us just get a feel on what factors specifically were behind the year-over-year compression in the quarter? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: For the quarter again – we again had good increase in revenue, which again is a commensurate number of that goes along with it, in terms of commission and other compensation we pay our agents, there continues to be a technology spend in there. There are other cost associated with the service component of our business that allows us to maintain the retention rate that we have and the customer loyalty that we have and so there are number of things that were in there, nothing of major would stick out in terms of a specific item. Chris Maimone – Macquarie Capital: Okay. Now that’s helpful. I just wanted to try and get a better feel for the compensation rate as a percentage of total revenues for management. It looks like it was up just a little bit, year-over-year in the quarter, but relatively flat year-over-year as a whole. So, how is the non-commission component your referred to the IT spend, another sort of fixed cost, is the run rate that we’re seeing now sort of expected to be more or less steady or is there still more build out that you guys expect in 2013? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: Yeah, if you go back to the agents issue, it’s a bit lumpy. There is not a direct correlation, means there will be times where – the Founders' Award, which is our yearly compensation vehicle will have a tendency to move. We’ll have sales contest that will be embedded in that number that will have a tendency to move that number around. So, again I’d ask you to look at those numbers. I guess yearly and from – over a two and three year cycle, from that standpoint. We are very committed to our agents and believe the partnership we have with them is one our great strengths and a strategic capability that we think is something that is second to none in the industry. In terms of the technology spend again, that can be also a bit lumpy. Again, we still believe we have opportunities to improve our business. You’ve heard me talk about the ease of doing business. We made great strides this year and that in terms of I think our (inaudible), which is the personal lines platform that I referred to in my prepared remarks. We are still building out a commercial lines platform called C-line that has a longer journey to it and we will continue to spend money to make sure that becomes a state-of-the-art platform. And we have other needs in terms of, again, making sure that the customer experience is strong in terms of around billing, around our claims activities and so we are a business that will continue to invest in technology as appropriate to make sure that we have a great product and service platform for our customers and our agents. Chris Maimone – Macquarie Capital: Thank you. That’s helpful. And I guess, one follow-up if I could, can you just let us know what the sort of thought process is behind the buyback program in terms of what metrics you look for in terms of whether to keep it at a sort of a steady rate or to ramp up or to maybe slow it down? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: We’ve got an authorization there that we’re still – have plenty of run rate to do from that standpoint. We’re thoughtful in terms of how we manage the process. I don’t think there is not a magic formula or a metric in terms of that, we look at it on a basis that talks about our ability to make sure that we can run an effective business. To make sure that whatever we do, anything we do and this in particular that it’s accretive to earnings and that is serving the shareholders effectively both short-term and long-term. Chris Maimone – Macquarie Capital: Okay. That’s helpful. Thanks very much.

The next question is from Chris Leikhim of William Blair. Please go ahead. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: Hi, good morning. Terrence W. Cavanaugh: Good morning, Chris. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: I just have a quick follow-up on the conversation you guys just had. As you reinvest in these initiatives going forward, what are the key metrics that you guys are looking at to sort of measure or gauge the success of them? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: One clearly would be top line growth. The other thing we’re very proud of is again, not only top line growth but the holistic aspect of that. Again we’ve been able to grow all of our major lines in every state that we do business in over the last two to three years. And so again, it’s a great complement to our field force, to our strategic marketing team here in terms of being able to build products and then be able to execute on our strategy to be able to do that across our entire footprint. So, again certainly top line would be one of those factors. The other again would be customer satisfaction. Again, we’re very proud of the place we hold in terms of – in the market and how it is affirmed by people like J.D. Power and Insure.com and others in terms of the accolades we get for again whether it’d be the customer experience on the front-end of the business or whether it’d be claims handling, whether it’d be the financial recognition, then best ratings. And so again we look to make sure that we’re a strong service provider and a great brand. Clearly then we also expect to make margin on this both from an underwriting standpoint at the exchange level and in terms of what margin we create at the Indemnity Company. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: Helpful. And then just piggybacking on something that you said, you said all the lines were growing pretty nicely. As you think about 2013, are there any lines in particular that the Exchange is focused on growing next year, anything that you’re finding particularly attractive given market conditions right now? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: I think we’re pretty bullish on everything. Again, the nice thing about our model is that we have a very preferred place with our agents and so we are expected to respond across the entire spectrum of our product offerings. And so again, obviously we’re a strong personal lines company with obviously auto and home being those two major products there and then we are a very decent commercial lines operation in terms of small to middle market and so again when you respond to the small and middle market, you really do sell auto, comp and package to one customer. So, I think what’s neat about our relationship and our position in the marketplace is that we have an opportunity to grow all those lines. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: Great. And then finally just wanted to touch on private auto quickly, it looks like the combined ratio picked up a little bit this year. Could you just talk quickly on what you’re seeing in loss trends in the private auto business and how you feel about your current rate adequacy? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: Yeah. I think we’re watching it closely, again clearly you look at the numbers, there were some cat activity in there by virtue of some of the storms that occurred in 2012. But we are looking at those numbers, ex-cat. We are mindful of what can happen in terms of inflation and in the terms of – call it legal inflation. We think we have a good handle on our costs. It is also not a universal issue there. They are across the platform, there are some jurisdictions that are more worrisome than others. But again, we are proactively looking at this and I think you can expect us to make sure that we are an underwriting company and we are focused on making strong underwriting results happen, across personal auto as well as the entire organization. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: And are you seeing anything interesting from competitors on that front, over the last six months that might have differed from say this time last year? Terrence W. Cavanaugh: In terms of personal auto? Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: Yeah. In terms of... Terrence W. Cavanaugh: I don’t know how you define interesting. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: I guess, I think in terms of rate action or pulling back from the market or especially may be on homeowner side, given what happened with Sandy. Terrence W. Cavanaugh: Yeah. I think clearly homeowners has been the product that has been more discussed at the executive level with our competitors based upon the characteristics it has in terms of the weather connection it has, the volatility it has in some geographies. So, I think in some ways it makes people sort of get more focused on personal auto and saying, how we make this work for ourselves. And so, I think the personal auto marketplace will remain competitive across the country. Chris Leikhim – William Blair & Co. LLC: Okay. Thank you very much.
