State Farm

Alliance Agreement

Hagerty has a 10-year master alliance agreement with State Farm (the "State Farm Alliance Agreement") under which State Farm's customers, through State Farm agents, are able to access Hagerty's features and services. This program began issuing policies in four initial states in September 2023. Under this agreement, State Farm paid Hagerty an advanced commission of $20.0 million, which is being recognized as "Commission and fee revenue" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the arrangement.
In conjunction with the State Farm Alliance Agreement, the Company also entered into a managing general underwriter agreement whereby the State Farm Classic+ policy is offered through State Farm Classic Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of State Farm. The State Farm Classic+ policy is available to new and existing State Farm customers through their agents on a state-by-state basis. Hagerty is paid a commission under the managing general underwriter agreement and ancillary agreements for each policy issued in the State Farm Classic+ program. Additionally, the Company has the opportunity to offer HDC membership to State Farm Classic+ customers which provides Hagerty an additional revenue opportunity. Commission revenue associated with State Farm Classic+ policies was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Hagerty Re has a quota share agreement to cede 50% of the risk assumed from a subsidiary of Markel in relation to High-Net-Worth Accounts to Oglesby Reinsurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of State Farm.
