Safe Harbor Statement In addition to historical information, this presentation contains forward-looking
statements that are based upon SCPIEs estimates and expectations
concerning future events and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking
statements. Expectations concerning SCPIEs future performance and
profitability are dependent upon a variety of factors, including future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond
the control of the company. Risks and uncertainties regarding the pending
transaction with The Doctors Company include the possibility that the closing
does not occur, or is delayed, due to the failure of closing conditions
(including approval by SCPIE's stockholders and regulatory authorities) and risks that the pending transaction could disrupt current plans and opportunities of SCPIE. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking
statements contained herein and that may affect SCPIEs prospects are included in SCPIEs other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as representation by SCPIE or any other person that SCPIEs objectives or plans will be realized.

Outlook for stand-alone SCPIE supports a sale today Outlook for stand-alone growth/profitability For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (year to date), net written premiums of $95.6 million as compared to $98.9 during the same period one year ago California (one core state) medical malpractice environment is highly competitive
Aggressive pricing practices Three leading not-for-profits are competitors as well as national players and
some with California focus New business writings limited until receipt of A.M. Best upgrade to A- (at earliest 2010) Limited ability to write large groups or hospitals Inability to expand writings outside of California Lack of ability to increase business or engage in active capital management will lead to a declining ROAE SCPIEs valuation multiples will not improve without higher ROAEs and better growth prospects Source: Company filings, SNL |

12 SCPIE book value multiple is unlikely to improve Achieving higher return on equity (ROAE) is typically rewarded with higher price/book
trading multiples SCPIE pre announcement was trading relatively in line with
the broader market; without improvement in its ROAE, it seems unlikely that
its book value multiple would achieve any substantial increase $28.00 purchase
price is 1.28x 6/30/07 book value, which would typically imply an ROAE of 13.0% Property casualty 2007E ROAE vs. price/book multiple Property casualty 2007E ROAE vs. price/book multiple Note: Size of bubble represents relative market capitalization. 2007E ROAE for all except SCPIE, which is 2007 actual year to date (9/30/07).

14 SCPIE Holdings Inc. to be acquired by The Doctors Company On October 16, 2007, SCPIE Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SKP) announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by The Doctors Company, a leading physician-owned medical malpractice carrier, for $28.00 per share in cash, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $281 million The $28.00 per share in cash purchase price represents a premium of approximately 31% over SCPIEs one week prior trading price Following the merger, The Doctors Company will expand its market leadership in California to nearly 19,000 physicians and become the largest insurer of physician and surgeon professional liability insurance in the U.S. The Transactions Committee and the Board of Directors of SCPIE have approved of the proposed transaction and the Board recommends that its stockholders approve the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of insurance regulatory approvals, and approval by
holders of a majority of
SCPIEs stock SCPIE received early termination of Hart Scott Rodino in November The transaction Value ($/share) $28.00/share Consideration 100% cash (funded with cash on hand) Break fee and reverse break fee 3% of purchase price ($8 million) for both parties, including break fee to be paid by The Doctors Company if antitrust and insurance regulatory consents not obtained Targeted closing date Early 2008 Multiples/Premiums Price/6-30-07 BVPS ex-AOCI 1.28x Price/YTD annualized earnings 18.0x Premium to: One-week prior 31% ($21.41) One-month prior 38% ($22.03) |
15 The Doctors Company bid is the most direct path to shareholder value maximization Form of Consideration The Doctors Company (TDC) offer Illustrative offer from peer stock company Consideration Fixed cash amount paid at time of closing Dependable value (a) Highest form of liquidity Declining acquiror share price can negatively impact the value of the consideration payable, e.g., due to Market volatility Potential merger arbitrage trading activity Potential/actual year-end business loss at SCPIE prior to close would negatively impact acquiror pro forma financial results Post transaction risk/opportunity SCPIE shareholders avoid any risks the combined entity might face SCPIE shareholders are subject to post transaction risk Certainty of Close Counterparties subject to fiduciary requirements TDC has no potential fiduciary requirement If transaction is a merger of equals, the counterparty may be forced, for fiduciary reasons, to accept a compelling competing third party bid instead of completing the transaction Requirement for shareholder vote by acquiror No TDC shareholder vote required Shareholder vote required if transaction is larger than 20% of acquiror If acquiror shareholders view transaction as uneconomic, approval would be in jeopardy Cancellation of transaction due to Material Adverse Effect (MAE) SCPIE has negotiated the MAE with TDC to exclude a loss of less than 15% of premiums to competitors Loss of business to TDC does not count towards the 15% If SCPIE announces transaction with similarly sized, out- of-state medical provider with unappealing ratings, in- state competitors will use this as a marketing tool to take existing customers and premiums from SCPIE Acquiror can use material business decline (including loss of premiums of less than 15%) to the detriment of SCPIE shareholders by either terminating the transaction or demanding a renegotiation at a lower value (a) Shareholders must pay any taxes related to gain on shares.

17 Conclusion Board conducted a thorough auction process that included strategic and financial prospective buyers The Doctors Companys all cash $28 per share bid is the most direct path to maximizing shareholder value Fixed valuation Certainty of closing No shareholder approval required by The Doctors Company Due to minimal disruption in current business, The Doctors Companys bid is less likely than an out-of-market acquiror to result in a potential MAE termination or negative shareholder vote SCPIEs financial fundamentals, competitive pressures, and current prospects do not support a stand-alone strategy |
