Advisory Fee related to Internal Reorganization

 

Fox Paine & Company, LLC conceived, designed, and directed the Company's successful completion of an extensive reorganization of its business in December 2024. This reorganization was a significant milestone, positioning the Company for enhanced operational efficiency and growth by:

Enhancing Penn-America Underwriters, LLC's business divisions: Wholesale Commercial, Vacant Express, Collectibles and Specialty Products by creating separate and distinct businesses for each division to improve branding, attract talent and expand relationships with its distribution partners.
Establishing separate businesses for technology, Kaleidoscope Insurance Technologies, Inc., and claims services, Liberty Insurance Adjustment Agency, Inc, that will continue to support the insurance company operations of Belmont Holdings GX, Inc. and create the foundation to offer products and services to other insurance industry participants.
De-stacking the insurance companies resulting in an increased consolidated surplus of the insurance companies and allowing for more efficient management of capital and liquidity.

On March 6, 2025, upon the recommendation of the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Board of Directors (other than Joseph Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Global Indemnity Group, LLC, who recused himself due to his inherent conflict of interest in approving a compensation matter for Fox Paine) approved the issuance of 550,000 class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares with a grant date fair value of $11.0 million and additional consideration of $0.2 million in cash for services performed in connection with the Company’s internal corporate reorganization. Of the grant date fair value of the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares, $2.7 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2025. The remaining $8.3 million will be recognized, if at all, upon a Change of Control Transaction. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the 550,000 class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares.
