RLI launches system letting producers issue personal umbrella policies online

PEORIA, ILL.--(Business Wire)--
RLI Corp. (NYSE:RLI) - RLI announces the launch of PUP Access, an
online system that provides a comprehensive approach to quoting,
binding, and issuing RLI personal umbrella policies. Additionally, PUP
Access provides up-to-date management reporting, accesses all
applicable forms, guarantees correct rates, and more.

Since pioneering the standalone personal umbrella policy over 20
years ago, RLI has seen demand for the product steadily increase from
both producers and insureds. RLI Assistant Vice President, Becky
Lundberg explained, "PUP Access meets the demands of both of these key
audiences. The system minimizes the quoting time and rework typically
associated with inaccurate rates and outdated forms. With PUP Access,
we're also increasing our producers' ability to sell to and service
their insureds - they now have access to the status of filed forms at
any point in the quote-bind-issue process, which greatly increases
their efficiency and ultimately their bottom line." Lundberg added,
"With today's scrutiny on errors and omissions coverage (E&O
policies), a widely accessible personal umbrella can be real support
for our producer partners." PUP Access is available nationwide to all
appointed retail agents via their program administrator. RLI's stand
alone personal umbrella product is written on admitted paper in all 50
states.

RLI is a specialty insurance company serving "niche" or
underserved markets. Its proven, superior underwriting model creates
the flexibility to write unique coverages in a wide array of diverse
industries. RLI's subsidiaries - RLI Insurance Company, Mt. Hawley
Insurance Company and RLI Indemnity Company - are rated A+ "Superior"
by A.M. Best Company and A+ "Strong" by Standard & Poor's. RLI
operates in all 50 states from office locations across the country.
