STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This case arises out of a dispute over insurance indemnity policies and a related cost-sharing

“Nationwide”) filed its First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) against Defendant St. Paul Fire and
Marine Insurance Company (“Defendant” or “St. Paul”). The FAC also named The Travelers
Indemnity Company (“Travelers”) as a defendant but the Clerk entered Plaintiff’s request to
dismiss Travelers as a defendant without prejudice on 05/29/2020. Plaintiff’s FAC refers to St.
Paul as “Travelers” and alleges St. Paul is Travelers’s predecessor. (See FAC, ¶¶ 3, 9.) Thus, the
FAC operates under the assumption that Defendant and “Travelers” are the same legal entity.
Plaintiff asserts the following causes of action against Defendant St. Paul:
