Related Party Advisory Fee

 

Fox Paine & Company, LLC conceived, designed, and directed the Company's successful completion of an extensive reorganization of its business. This reorganization is a significant milestone, positioning the Company for enhanced operational efficiency and growth by:

Enhancing Penn-America’s business divisions: Wholesale Commercial, Vacant Express, Collectibles and Specialty Products by creating separate and distinct businesses for each division to improve branding, attract talent and expand relationships with our distribution partners.
Establishing separate businesses for technology, Kaleidoscope Insurance Technologies, Inc., and claims services, Liberty Insurance Adjustment Agency, Inc, that will continue to support Penn-America and create the foundation to offer products and services to other insurance industry participants.
De-stacking the insurance companies resulting in an increased consolidated surplus of the insurance companies and allowing for more efficient management of capital and liquidity.

In accordance with the Management Agreement, Fox Paine & Company, LLC may propose and negotiate advisory fees for such services with the Company, subject to the provisions of the Company’s related party transaction policies. On March 6, 2025, upon the recommendation of the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Board of Directors (other than Joseph Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Global Indemnity Group, LLC, who recused himself due to his inherent conflict of interest in approving a compensation matter for Fox Paine) approved the issuance of 550,000 class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares, as described below, with a grant date fair value of $11.0 million and additional consideration of $0.2 million in cash for services performed in connection with the Company’s internal corporate reorganization. Of the grant date fair value of the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares, $2.7 million will be recorded in the first quarter of 2025. The remaining $8.3 million will be recognized, if at all, upon a Change of Control Transaction.

 

Class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares issuance

On March 6, 2025, Global Indemnity Group, LLC issued 550,000 class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares to Fox Paine & Company, LLC. These shares represent an interest in the profits of the Company in excess of a threshold amount of $475.3 million which is equal to the product of (i) the volume weighted average closing sale price of a class A common share on the New York Stock Exchange for the 30 consecutive calendar days ending on and including the grant date of March 6, 2025, which is equal to $34.67 per share, multiplied by (ii) the total number of outstanding class A and class B common shares of 13,708,199, subject to adjustment as set forth in the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares grant agreement. These shares are fully vested and non-forfeitable. The class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares have the same voting rights as the class A common shares and are entitled to ordinary cash dividends or other regular distributions in the same manner as both the class A and class B common shares. Other than distributions made in connection with a Change of Control Transaction, the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares are also entitled to receive any special dividends or distributions that may be declared by the Board in the same manner as the class A and class B common shares provided the distribution relates solely to Company profits accrued since the grant date and does not result in the reduction of the threshold amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Board and the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors, the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares may not be assigned, sold, pledged, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner until the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction. Upon a Change of Control Transaction, the holders of shares, including the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares shall be entitled to receive distributions, if any, from the proceeds of the sale of the Company or the Company’s assets in the following order:

1)
first, holders of Series A Cumulative Fixed Rate Perpetual Preferred Shares receive the sum of the Unpaid Priority Return and the Unreturned Liquidation Preference (each as defined in the Series A Preferred Shares Designation) with respect to their Series A Cumulative Fixed Rate Perpetual Preferred Shares;
2)
second, holders of class A and class B common shares (other than the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares) receive distributions equal to the Threshold Amount less the total amount of any special distributions or special dividends paid by the Company to holders of class A and class B common shares (other than the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares) following the grant date that relate solely to the capital (not profits) of the Company (which amount shall be determined by the Board);
3)
third, the holders of class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares receive 100% of distributions until the amount received per class A common shares designated as a class A-2 common shares is “caught up” to the amount received under step (2) by each class A common share; and
4)
fourth, the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares participate in distributions of profits, pro-rata with other common shareholders (otherwise in accordance with the LLCA).

Amendment of the Limited Liability Company Agreement

Effective January 16, 2025, the Company amended and restated its Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (such amended and restated agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLCA”). The LLCA incorporates certain amendments, including, the authorization of 5,000,000 class A common shares that the Board may designate as class A-2 common shares pursuant to a grant agreement, as well as establishing the rights of the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares.

In addition, pursuant to the Third LLCA, certain changes were made to the Board. Specifically, the Designated Directors (as defined in the Third LLCA) will be appointed for one-year calendar terms running from January 1 to December 31. Any Designated Directors appointed to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the calendar year term. Further, a nonvoting, “Ex-Officio Director” role was added for the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The CEO will automatically become the Ex-Officio Director, but the Board has authority to determine that the CEO will not fill this role (for a specified time, or indefinitely), and in that case the CEO will be eligible for appointment or election as a voting director. Mr. Brown, the Company’s CEO, remains a voting director.

Distribution

On March 6, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a dividend rate of $0.35 per common share payable on March 28, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 21, 2025.
