The Group participates in the captive insurance agreement by investing certain capital and retaining the premium to insure itself against future losses and the premium will be kept in the rent-a-captive company for future claims payments. The insurance company agrees to cause dividends of the rent-a-captive company to be declared and paid to the Group only as approved by Board of Directors of the insurance company. During the year ended December 31, 2024, a dividend of $1,536,555 was declared by the insurance company and received by the Group.
