Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Claddaugh”), the Company’s Bermuda-based captive reinsurer, has one reinsurance treaty with Moksha Re SPC Ltd. and multiple capital partners (“Moksha”) whereby a portion of the business assumed from the Company’s insurance subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”), is ceded by Claddaugh to Moksha. With respect to the period from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014, Moksha assumed approximately $15,400 of the total covered exposure for approximately $4,300 in premiums, a rate which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. The $4,300 premium was fully paid by Claddaugh on June 27, 2013. Moksha has deposited funds into a trust account to fully collateralize Moksha’s exposure. Trust assets may be withdrawn by HCPCI, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the 2013-2014 Moksha reinsurance agreement. Among the Moksha capital partner participants are the Company’s chief executive officer, Paresh Patel, and certain of his immediate family members and Sanjay Madhu, one of the Company’s non-employee directors.

Claddaugh also has reinsurance treaties with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited (“Oxbridge”) whereby a portion of the business assumed from HCPCI is ceded by Claddaugh to Oxbridge. With respect to the period from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014, Oxbridge assumed $10,100 of the total covered exposure for approximately $4,900 in premiums, a rate which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. The $4,900 premium was fully paid by Claddaugh on July 9, 2013. Oxbridge has deposited funds into a trust account to fully collateralize Oxbridge’s exposure. Trust assets may be withdrawn by HCPCI, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the 2013-2014 Oxbridge reinsurance agreement. Among the Oxbridge capital partner participants are Paresh Patel, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also chairman of the board of directors for Oxbridge, and members of his immediate family and three of the Company’s non-employee directors including Sanjay Madhu who serves as Oxbridge’s president and chief executive officer.
