Applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may affect the ability of the Company to declare and pay dividends on its Common Stock. In particular, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, a company may pay dividends out of its surplus, as defined, or out of its net profits, for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. Surplus is defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law to be the excess of net assets of the company over capital. Capital is defined to be the aggregate par value of shares issued. Moreover, the ability of the Company to pay dividends, if and when declared by its Board of Directors, may be restricted by regulatory limits on the amount of dividends, which the Insurance Entities are permitted to pay the Company.
Restrictions limiting the payment of dividends by UVE
UVE pays dividends to shareholders, which are funded by earnings on investments and distributions from the earnings of its consolidated subsidiaries. Generally, other than as disclosed above and in “—Note 7 (Long-term debt),” there are no restrictions for UVE limiting the payment of dividends. However, UVE’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders may be affected by restrictions on the ability of the Insurance Entities to pay dividends to UVE through PSI. See “—Note 5 (Insurance Operations),” for a discussion of these restrictions. There are no such restrictions for UVE’s non-insurance consolidated subsidiaries. UVE received distributions from the earnings of its non-insurance consolidated subsidiaries of $164.1 million, $231.9 million, and $149.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
UVE made capital contributions of $72.0 million, $84.0 million, and $92.0 million to UPCIC during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. UVE made no capital contributions to APPCIC during the year ended December 31, 2023, $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, and made no contributions during the year ended December 31, 2021.
During 2023, UVE did not enter into subordinated surplus debentures with UPCIC or APPCIC. During 2022, $110.0 million in subordinated surplus debentures were made to UPCIC by UVE. See “—Schedule II - Condensed Financial Information of Registrant—Note 2 (Intercompany Note Receivable).”
