James River Group Announces Leadership Changes and Dividend

James River Group ( (JRVR) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On February 27, 2025, Ollie L. Sherman, Jr. resigned as a director of James River Group, effective April 30, 2025, with no disagreements cited. Christine LaSala was appointed as the new Non-Executive Chairperson on February 20, 2025. The company also declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on March 31, 2025. James River reported a net loss of $92.7 million for Q4 2024, largely due to a $52.8 million reinsurance contract payment and a $27 million deemed dividend. Despite these losses, strategic actions in 2024, including the sale of JRG Reinsurance and partnerships with Enstar, have strengthened the company’s balance sheet. The E&S segment saw a slight premium increase, and the company achieved its highest submission growth in five years. The Specialty Admitted Insurance segment improved its combined ratio, and net investment income rose by 10.8% in 2024.
