Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company, Ltd., the Company’s Bermuda domiciled captive reinsurer has reinsurance treaties with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited 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 Oxbridge. With respect to the period from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015, Oxbridge assumed $17,800 of the total covered exposure for approximately $4,935 in premiums. With respect to the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, Oxbridge assumed $11,600 of the total covered exposure for $3,340 in premiums. The premiums charged by Oxbridge are at rates which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. Oxbridge has deposited funds into a trust account to satisfy certain collateral requirements under its reinsurance contract with Claddaugh. Trust assets may be withdrawn by HCPCI, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the Oxbridge reinsurance agreements. Among the Oxbridge shareholders 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.

Prior to June 1, 2014, Claddaugh also had one reinsurance treaty with Moksha Re SPC Ltd. and multiple capital partners whereby a portion of the business assumed from HCPCI was 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 deposited funds into a trust account to satisfy certain collateral requirements under its reinsurance contract with Claddaugh. 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. This agreement terminated effective May 31, 2014 and has not been renewed.
