Old Republic International Corporation

Shareholders of Old Republic International Corporation

Old Republic International Corporation is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ORI, and as a widely held public company it is not required to publish a complete shareholder register; U.S. securities rules require disclosure only of beneficial owners whose stake exceeds 5% of outstanding common stock. According to the company’s definitive proxy statement filed 31 March 2026 (record date 23 March 2026), the largest disclosed holders were BlackRock, Inc., reported as beneficial owner of 31,749,084 shares (11.30%) as of 31 December 2023, and The Vanguard Group, Inc., reported as beneficial owner of 28,156,630 shares (10.12%) as of 28 March 2024. Both are asset managers holding shares in an investment/fiduciary capacity on behalf of index funds and other clients rather than as controlling owners, and both are reported with shared voting and dispositive power rather than sole control. The company’s own 401(k) retirement plan held 17,741,061 shares (7.26%) as of 1 March 2026, as plan trustee. A separate Schedule 13G/A filed by Vanguard Group, Inc. during 2026 reported a reduction to 0% of the class, described in third-party filing summaries as resulting from an internal realignment of Vanguard’s reporting entities rather than an outright sale, so the holding may since have moved to a different Vanguard-affiliated reporting entity. No other holder exceeding the 5% disclosure threshold was identified in the sources reviewed. The remainder of the common stock is held by numerous individual and institutional investors whose individual stakes fall below the reporting threshold and are not separately disclosed.

Data availability

Shareholder disclosure for Old Republic International Corporation is Major shareholders only: U.S. securities regulation requires publication of beneficial owners crossing the 5% threshold, through Schedule 13D/13G filings and the annual proxy statement, but does not require disclosure of the full shareholder base. No individual met the criteria for identification as a verified ultimate beneficial owner; the disclosed major holders are financial institutions and an employee benefit plan rather than natural persons.

Data availability

Officer information for this SEC-reporting company is Partial: the annual proxy statement discloses directors and named executive officers with clear roles and board tenure, but full appointment and resignation dates, occupations and nationality are not routinely disclosed for corporate officers below named-executive-officer level. No reliable, independently dated record of recent appointments, resignations or role changes was identified for the current officer group, so no separate change log is presented.

Group structure of Old Republic International Corporation

Old Republic International Corporation is the top-level, exchange-listed holding company of its group; no external immediate or ultimate parent was identified in its SEC filings, so it is treated here as an independent, publicly held parent rather than a subsidiary of another corporate group. It does not itself underwrite insurance; it conducts business exclusively through regulated insurance-company and title-agency subsidiaries. The company’s own corporate-structure data, last synced 11 August 2026, lists well over 100 direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliated entities, predominantly incorporated in the United States, with a smaller number in Canada, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands; these are shown in the group-structure graph elsewhere on this profile and are not repeated in full here. Several larger operating subsidiaries are independently identifiable from the company’s public segment reporting, including Old Republic Insurance Company (Pennsylvania), Old Republic National Title Insurance Company (Florida), Great West Casualty Company (Nebraska), BITCO General Insurance Corporation (Iowa) and PMA Companies, Inc. (Pennsylvania). Ownership or voting percentages for individual subsidiaries are not disclosed in the sources reviewed; group results are reported on a consolidated basis in the company’s SEC filings.

Verified corporate relationships

The relationship classifications above reflect the company’s own corporate-structure data. The precise ownership tier and exact percentage held were not separately confirmed against a public ownership filing for each entity, so these are presented as disclosed group members rather than independently reconstructed ownership chains.

Data availability
