We are a leading provider of private passenger automobile, commercial automobile and homeowners insurance in Massachusetts. In addition to these coverages, we offer a portfolio of other insurance products, including dwelling fire, umbrella and business owner policies. Operating exclusively in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine through our insurance company subsidiaries, Safety Insurance Company ("Safety Insurance"), Safety Indemnity Insurance Company ("Safety Indemnity") and Safety Property and Casualty Insurance Company ("Safety P&C") (together referred to as the "Insurance Subsidiaries"), we have established strong relationships with independent insurance agents, who numbered 892 in 1,120 locations throughout these three states during 2019. We have used these relationships and, in particular, our extensive knowledge of the Massachusetts market to become the third largest private passenger automobile carrier and the largest commercial automobile carrier in Massachusetts, capturing an approximate 8.8% and 15.3% share, respectively, of the Massachusetts private passenger and commercial automobile markets in 2019 according to statistics compiled by Commonwealth Automobile Reinsurers ("CAR"). We also are the third largest homeowners insurance carrier in Massachusetts with a 7.2% share of that market. We were ranked the 53rd largest automobile writer in the country according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, based on 2018 direct written premiums. We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 2001, but through our predecessors, we have underwritten insurance in Massachusetts since 1979. Our Insurance Subsidiaries began writing insurance in New Hampshire during 2008 and Maine in 2016.
