<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. Files Registration Statement for<BR>
Resale of Shares of Its Common Stock by Its President and CEO</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">FORT LAUDERDALE, FL &#151; (MARKET WIRE) &#151; May&nbsp;11, 2011 &#151; <B>Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc.
(&#147;Company&#148;) </B>(NYSE Amex: UVE) announced today that it filed a Form S-8 registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under which its President and Chief Executive Officer,
Bradley I. Meier, may from time to time sell up to 6,050,000 shares of common stock, and the
Company may sell up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Company&#146;s Amended
and Restated 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Immediately prior to filing the Form S-8 registration
statement, the Company withdrew its Form S-8 registration statement filed on November&nbsp;22, 2010
under which no shares of common stock were sold.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Meier advised the Company that his goal through potential stock sales is to gain financial
diversification and to assist in tax planning. At May&nbsp;6, 2011, Mr.&nbsp;Meier beneficially owned
16,355,258 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, including options to purchase 1,950,000 shares of
the Company&#146;s common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.35. Based on Mr.&nbsp;Meier&#146;s
current beneficial ownership, if all of the 6,050,000 shares included in the registration statement
are sold, Mr.&nbsp;Meier will beneficially own 10,305,258 shares, or approximately 26.2&nbsp;percent, of the
Company&#146;s outstanding shares of 39,387,998 at May&nbsp;6, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Meier expects sales of these shares to be executed in an orderly manner on the NYSE Amex, in
privately negotiated transactions, or a combination of these or other permitted methods. The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares.
