companies. We should proceed with caution and alertness
towards the requirements and prohibitions of federal and state
antitrust laws. We should not engage in discussions – either at
this meeting or in private conversations – of our individual
companies’ plans or contemplated activities. We should concern
ourselves only with the business of the New Jersey Automobile
Insurance Risk Exchange as set forth in the agenda for this
meeting. Only New Jersey Automobile Insurance Risk Exchange
matters may be discussed at New Jersey Automobile Insurance
Risk Exchange meetings and each company’s market plans
cannot be discussed.
