This 424B5 filing serves as the final prospectus supplement for RLI Corp.'s $300 million offering of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2036, formalizing the terms of the capital raise. This follows the preliminary prospectus supplement and the Free Writing Prospectus (FWP) filed on the same date, which announced the finalized terms. The offering, representing a substantial capital raise, provides significant financial flexibility for general corporate purposes. While increasing the company's debt, the successful issuance of notes at a 5.375% interest rate, especially after strong 2025 financial results, indicates market confidence in RLI's financial health and strategic direction. Investors should note the structural subordination of these notes to existing subsidiary indebtedness.
