We evaluate all subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in our financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2024, ACIC, through its wholly owned insurance subsidiary AmCoastal, renewed its AOP CAT agreement. The agreement provides up to $100 million of limit excess of $10 million per occurrence to limit our losses from catastrophe loss events other than named windstorms and earthquakes. Our wholly owned reinsurance subsidiary, UPC Re, is a participant in the AOP CAT agreement, bringing our consolidated retention to $12.25 million per occurrence.
The cost of the agreement, excluding potential reinstatement premium, is approximately $9.9 million, a decrease of 9.24% year-over-year when risk-adjusted. Exclusive of ACIC’s retention the AOP CAT agreement provides coverage of approximately $88 million for a first event and $84 million for a second event, or $172 million in the aggregate, an aggregate increase of $71 million or 70.3% year-over-year.

In January 2024, we appointed James A. Gray, CPA as our Chief Compliance and Risk Officer. In addition, effective January 22, 2024, B. Bradford Martz, President, stepped down from his role of Chief Financial Officer to focus on his position as President. Mr. Martz held the role of Chief Financial Officer since 2012. Mr. Martz's primary responsibilities will shift to investor relations and strategic initiatives aimed at building shareholder value. Also effective January 22, 2024, the Company appointed Svetlana Castle, JD, MPA, CPA, as the Company's new Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Castle will be responsible for the finance, accounting and tax operations for the Company.

Effective February 1, 2024, ACIC, through its wholly owned insurance subsidiary AmCoastal, renewed the Excess Per Risk (“XPR”) program. The program includes up to $55 million of per building facultative limit excess of the $5 million retention, remaining consistent with expiring XPR program. The XPR program mitigates the Company’s losses from All Other Perils while excluded Named Windstorms. Named Windstorms are reinsured separately under Amcoastal’s core catastrophe reinsurance program. The Company’s wholly owned reinsurance subsidiary, UPC Re, is a participant in the XPR program, bringing the Company’s consolidated retention to $7.5 million per occurrence. The cost of the program, excluding potential reinstatement premium, is approximately $5 million, a decrease of 11.4% year-over-year.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, we have sold 1,000,000 shares under our equity distribution agreement described in Note 19 above, resulting in commissions paid of approximately $352,000 and net proceeds of approximately $11,398,000.
