Agent may reasonably designate officers and employees with signing authority over such account solely for the payment of losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses under the Subject Business. The Managing General Agent shall, and shall cause its officers and employees to, only use such Claims Payment Account for the payment of losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses under the Subject Business that are reinsured under the Reinsurance Agreement. The Managing General Account shall establish reasonable controls, policies and procedures designed to ensure that the Claims Payment Account is only used for such purposes. The Claims Account shall be funded by monthly withdrawals from the Trust Account under the Reinsurance Trust Agreement by the Company at the written request of the Managing General Agent, following submission to the Company of a certificate of the Managing General Agency certifying the Managing General Agency’s reasonable best estimate of the anticipated amount required to pay losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses under the Subject Business for the next calendar month, after giving effect to any amounts already on deposit in the Claims Account.

If required by the applicable insurance regulatory authority, the Managing General Agent shall provide, at the Managing General Agent’s expense, (i) an independent actuarial opinion attesting to the adequacy of loss reserves established for losses incurred and outstanding on business produced hereunder, and (ii) an independent financial examination in either case in a form acceptable to such insurance regulatory authority.

The parties each agree to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect any Confidential Information of the other that are no less rigorous than accepted industry standards applicable to regulated financial services entities and as are required by any data protection, privacy, or data security laws and regulations applicable to the other, the Confidential Information, or, with respect to the Confidential Information, the Company or its affiliates (“Applicable Privacy Laws”), and to ensure that all such safeguards, including the manner in which the Confidential Information is collected, accessed, used, stored, processed, transferred, disposed of and disclosed, comply with Applicable Privacy Laws, as well as the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The parties each agree to otherwise take all reasonable precautions and protections, including the creation and maintenance of written information security policies and procedures and adequately protected information technology systems, to safeguard and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other in accordance with this Agreement and with any Applicable Privacy Laws. Consistent with and except as prohibited by this Agreement, the Managing General Agent shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to its affiliates and its and their respective consultants, attorneys, actuaries and auditors, subject to such parties being subject to professional or written contractual obligations of confidentiality, privacy, and security substantially similar to those provided in this Agreement.

(1)“Nonpublic Information” has the meaning set forth in New York Department of Financial Services 23 NYCRR 500.

(2)“Personal Information” shall mean (i) any “nonpublic personal information” as such term is defined under the Title V of the U.S. Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq., and the rules and regulations issued thereunder, (ii) any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual, household, or an individual’s electronic device, such as name, signature, address, social security number, telephone number or other unique identifier, together with any other information that relates to an individual or household who has been so identified in any format whether written, electronic or otherwise, or (iii) as such term or similar terms (e.g., personal information, personally identifiable information) are defined in Applicable Privacy Laws.

18.6In the event either party becomes aware of any Security Breach affecting such party, such party agrees to promptly, and within twenty-four (24) hours, notify the other of such Security Breach (with any such notification to include a detailed summary of the Security Breach that includes: data elements and number of records exposed/misused; estimates of the effects of such Security Breach; and the corrective actions to be taken), to cooperate with the other party and its affiliates and their respective representatives in investigating and remediating such Security Breach, and to use reasonable best efforts to immediately remedy such Security Breach and prevent any further Security Breach. The party subject to the Security Breach will

reimburse the other party and its affiliates and their respective representatives for actual, reasonable, out of pocket costs incurred by such parties in responding to such Security Breach, including all actual, reasonable, out of pocket costs of notice and/or remediation. To the extent that such Security Breach resulted from any action or omission of a party or any breach by such party of its obligations under this Agreement, the party at such fault shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the other party for any third party claims relating to such Security Breach. Neither party shall identify the other party in connection with any Security Breach without first obtaining such party’s prior written consent. Each party further agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other party, at its own expense, in any litigation or other formal action as reasonably deemed necessary by the parties, relating to a Security Breach. If the Managing General Agent is subject to a Security Breach, then the Company reserves the right to require the Managing General Agent to implement commercially reasonable security measures and risk management procedures and requirements to resolve confidentiality and integrity issues relating to the Security Breach. “Security Breach” means any (i) actual or suspected unauthorized use, disclosure, access, acquisition of or any act or omission that compromises either the security, confidentiality or integrity of Confidential Information or Nonpublic Information or the physical, technical, administrative or organizational safeguards put in place by a party that relates to the protection of the security, confidentiality or integrity of Confidential Information or Nonpublic Information relating to this Agreement, (ii) receipt of a complaint in relation to the privacy practices of a party relating to this Agreement, or (iii) a party’s breach or alleged breach of this Agreement relating to privacy practices.

18.7With regard to: (i) the Company’s Nonpublic Information and (ii) Information Systems (as defined in New York Department of Financial Services 23 NYCRR 500) that maintain, access, or process Nonpublic Information: the Managing General Agent shall comply with all requirements of 23 NYCRR 500 with regard to such Nonpublic Information and Information Systems in the same manner as is required of the Company as a covered entity under such regulations, except that the Managing General Agent shall not provide notices or filings to the Superintendent pursuant to Section 500.17 (unless the Managing General Agent independently is a “covered entity” as defined by 23 NYCRR 500). The Company has the right to periodically audit and assess the Managing General Agent’s compliance with 23 NYCRR 500 upon reasonable advance notice. The Managing General Agent shall use effective controls, including encryption of Nonpublic Information (both in transit and at rest), Multi-Factor Authentication (as defined by 23 NYCRR 500) and Risk-Based Authentication (as defined by 23 NYCRR 500), to protect against unauthorized access to Nonpublic Information and Information Systems. Multi-Factor Authentication must be utilized, at a minimum, for any individual accessing internal networks from an external network and for any remote access.

18.8The Managing General Agent will not retain, use, or disclose Personal Information: (i) for any purpose other than to perform the services under this Agreement or (ii) outside of the direct business relationship between the Company and the Managing General Agent. The Managing General Agent shall not sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, transfer or otherwise communicate Personal Information to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. The Managing General Agent certifies that it understands the restrictions on its processing of Personal Information as set forth in this Agreement and will comply with them.

18.9The Managing General Agent shall cause each Producer to comply with the provisions of this Article 18.

18.10The parties acknowledge that any failure to comply with the terms of this Article 18 will cause irreparable injury to the owner of the Confidential Information, and such party may enforce its rights under this Article by way of injunction and may obtain an injunction to enjoin or restrain any breach or threat of breach of any of these provisions.

Territories

Professional Lines – risks domiciled in the USA, including Puerto Rico, and selected risks in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands where such risks are being handled by a US broker.

Casualty Lines – risks domiciled in the USA, including Puerto Rico.

Rating Approach

Several criteria are used to ensure that an adequate premium is being charged for each risk, including peer comparison, exposure rating, minimum price per million criteria, and minimum percentage of underlying layer price per million criteria. The exposure rating algorithms are described below.

Public D&O

A base premium ($1m limit) is calculated based on the asset size of the company. A table of annual base premium amounts by intervals of asset size is used for this purpose.

Each risk is classified by GICS Sub-Industry. Each such classification bucket is assigned an industry factor, which is applied to the risk’s base premium. This industry classification factor represents the underwriting view of relative class exposure and loss potential.

Company Operations Modifiers are used to reflect variation in specific exposures. The modifiers may be credits or debits and include consideration of Corporate Governance (board of directors, audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, management stability), Corporate Activity (years in business, M&A activity, equity or debt offering), Financial measures (profitability, debt/equity, goodwill/equity, provision for bad debt/outstanding

A-1

receivables, cash flow from operations, financial restatements, Xxxxxx Z-score) , Stock-related measures (special voting rights shares, short interest, beta analysis), and claim and litigation activity. A schedule rating modifier up to +/- 50% can be applied to reflect any additional characteristics of the risk not otherwise contemplated. The product of annual base premium, industry modifier, company operations modifiers, and schedule rating yields the modified base premium for $1m limit.

For excess layer pricing, factors (ILFs) are applied to adjust the modified base premium for the insured’s layer limit and attachment. The ILF tables vary based on the market cap of the risk. More severe ILFs are used for risks with higher market caps. Underwriters have selected a minimum and target attachment point for risks, which is based on market cap. No risk will be written at attachment less than the minimum; and an additional debit is charged for attachments less than the target. Premium is further adjusted by a coverage factor in the case that the coverage is only for Side A.

FI Investment Manager Professional Liability

Various coverages are contemplated in the rating: Investment Advisor Professional Liability (IAPL), Registered Fund Professional Liability (RFPL), Private Fund Professional Liability (PFPL), management liability (D&O), employment practices liability (EPLI), and fiduciary (FIDU). A base premium ($1m limit) is calculated as a first step.

For the IAPL, RFPL, PFPL coverages, the base premium is a function of assets under management. A table of annual premium amounts by intervals of assets under management is used for this purpose. This is multiplied by a coverage charge modifier, reflecting which combination of these coverages is being insured.

The base premium is multiplied by modifiers that reflect asset class, fund type, and company operations. The company operations modifiers include consideration of senior management experience, historical investment performance, investment strategy, years in business, quality of service providers, regulatory exposure, and claims experience.

The D&O base premium is a function of annual revenue, with coverage modification for side A only or removal of C (entity) coverage. EPLI base premium depends on number of employees. Fiduciary base premium depends on assets under management. The resulting base premiums for the selected coverages are added together. A schedule rating modifier up to +/- 50% can be applied to reflect any additional characteristics of the risk not otherwise contemplated.

For excess layer pricing, factors (ILFs) are applied to adjust the modified base premium for the insured’s layer limit and attachment. Underwriters have selected a minimum and target attachment point for risks, which is based on assets under management. No risk will be written at attachment less than the minimum; and an additional debit is charged for attachments less than the target.

A-2

Casualty

The primary coverages of GL and Auto are re-rated using rates and ILFs that are based on underwriting experience, ISO loss costs and rating factors. Consideration is given to state, city, vehicle weight/size/use (auto), class code (GL), and hazard grade (GL). Selection of primary premium is made based on a comparison of the re-rated and the actual charged premium. Consideration is given to how the risk differs from what is expected for the class and other underwriting considerations from the loss history and application. Excess layer premium is generated by applying ILFs.

UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES

Professional Lines Underwriting Guidelines

The Professional Lines Department (PLD) of Bowhead Specialty Underwriters (BSU) has been formed in 2020 by hiring experienced underwriters with proven records to write a broad range of products across the Professional Lines Market, including Directors and Officers Liability Errors and Omissions Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Pension Trust Fiduciary Liability, Fidelity/Crime and other related classes. These coverages will be written for a broad variety of entities including both Commercial and Financial Institutions accounts, and both publicly traded, privately held and not for profit organisations.

BSU will xxxxxx a highly collaborative underwriting environment. Regardless of underwriting authority, as out lined in each underwriters’ Letters of Authority (LOA), we will take a “two sets of eyes” approach to risk selection. Our focus will always be on profits versus premium and although many markets talk about this concept, this will be rooted in BSU’s DNA.

Product and coverage

This department is designed to provide solutions-based Directors and Officers, Employment Practice Liability, Pension Trust Fiduciary Liability and Crime insurance coverage to large public, non-profit and private corporations of various corporate structures. With respect to financial institutions this should also include errors and omissions and fidelity coverage. A summary description of the coverages is as follows:

1.Directors & Officers Liability Insurance

D&O insurance protects insured parties against lawsuits and associated legal defense expenses. Liabilities can arise from claims by customers, vendors, regulators, debt holders, competitors and current and former employees and applicants, although the most severe liabilities have historically arisen from lawsuits by stockholders alleging director or officer failure to discharge duties to the corporation or violations of federal and or state securities laws.

2.Employment Practices Liability Insurance

Employment practices liability insurance (“EPLI”), which is available to cover both the employing organization and its supervisors, insures against losses associated with current and former employees and applicant claims such as sexual harassment, wrongful termination and discriminatory treatment. Coverage is also extended to Third Party Discrimination suits by customers or other non-employees of the insured.

B-1

3.Employee Benefit Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Employee Benefit Fiduciary Liability / errors and omissions insurance, which covers individuals who invest and administer employee benefit plans, insures against losses arising from claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty and for violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). Coverage is also provided for mismanagement or errors and omissions involving Employee health and welfare plans.

4.Errors and Omissions (for financial institutions)

E&O insurance for financial institutions protects insured parties against lawsuits and associated legal defense expenses. Liabilities arise from claims by customers, regulators, vendors, or other third parties. Historically the most severe liabilities have arisen from lawsuits and investigations by customers or regulators alleging certain failures in the provision of professional services or violations of federal and or state laws related to the provision of professional services.

5.Crime/Fidelity

Crime insurance for commercial entities provides coverage for loss of money, securities and other assets resulting from dishonesty, theft or fraud (including computer fraud). Fidelity Bonds are intended for financial institutions and cover a variety of risks including; employee dishonesty, theft on premises, forgery, computer system fraud and impersonation fraud.

6.Cyber

BSU will not write stand-alone cyber policies. However, cyber exposures are present in most risks that are written and must be analysed and assessed as part of the normal underwriting process.

The only area where BSU may consider providing explicit cyber coverage is within the Financial Institutions sector where coverage will be provided on selected accounts as part of a blended program for mid-size and large financial institutions where BSU is providing additional core coverages for example Directors and Officers Liability and Bankers Professional Liability and where Cyber is a component of the coverage being offered.

All Cyber exposure requires CUO prior approval.

B-2

Initial Public Offering (IPO) and Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) Transactions

IPO Transaction

This involves the publication of a prospectus which brings the transaction under the 1933 Securities Act with associated prospectus liability.

The current capacity crisis arose following the Cyan Inc. x. Xxxxxx County Employees Retirement Fund decision in March 2018 which led to a proliferation of case filings asserting putative class action claims in state courts throughout the United States. The “concurrent” state court and federal court claims dramatically changed the IPO landscape overnight and consequently very few markets would consider writing primary.

However, two days shy of the two-year anniversary of that decision, the Supreme Court of Delaware in Xxxxxxxx x. Xxxxxxxxxxxx reversed the lower court decision and held that Delaware corporations can implement federal forum-selection provisions for Securities Act claims in their certificates of incorporation. This decision has significantly reduced the heightened exposure, but the market is underwriting and pricing accounts as if nothing has changed.

When BSU looks at a potential IPO the following are issues that we need to focus on:

Valuations – There are many examples where IPO expected PEs are not measurable due to minimal underlying earnings, but P/B multiples are 75x – 100x+ (Lemonade, Root, Snowflake, and other tech/bio-techs). We would look for valuations more in line with industry/peer norms, although if there is proven growth, balance sheets and mature bottom line earnings which justify some premium to peers, we would consider the account. We look also at total Market Cap vs. Floated Market Cap if there are significant holders maintaining ownership post IPO.

Maturity – We focus on deals with maturity of the underlying businesses. Xxxxxx and SEG are great examples of this, both have been around for some time, have strong and stable footing in their space with notable market shares and are in established businesses.

Prior Ownership vs Go Forward and use of proceeds – We shy away from an IPO that is serving primarily as a windfall for selling shareholders and prefer that the proceeds are used for debt reduction, public market access for balance sheet flexibility and obvious growth opportunities. Selling shareholders are ok, but we prefer that they still retain meaningful ownership, or the timing of their departure makes sense for the business.

B-3

SPAC Transactions

During 2020 there has been a record number of SPAC offerings. In September there was a high profile article in the WSJ and a subsequent announcement that the SEC had commenced many inquiries into SPACs. Some lawsuits followed and overnight underwriting capacity significantly reduced. This shortage of capacity has created a very interesting opportunity for BSU to be highly selective and find some great risks.

The top three attributes we would consider when underwriting a SPAC:

a.The people – this starts with the sponsor. Are they credible in the business and financial world? (Especially for the area they will be targeting) What is their reputation like? Do they have robust experience with public companies, mergers and acquisitions, corporate management and strategic combinations? Also, part of this analysis would include the outside service providers. Are they top tier names involved with accounting/audit/legal counsel and the bank underwriting the IPO?

b.Risk disclosures – the SEC has stated in September that they had some concern with the levels of disclosure in the SPAC space. The focus was on the potential for conflicts of interest in the transactions pursued, fee levels for the sponsor, and appropriate levels of due diligence taken on the transaction pursued. Particular attention was paid to the disclosures in the proxy document (closer to the transaction) as opposed to the S-1 but the intention of improved disclosure was around the entire life of the vehicle.

c.Fees vs skin in the game – Another concern the SEC mentioned was the fees that the sponsor was collecting from these deals – not that they were excessive on their face, but more to ensure that they were properly disclosed to investors. This not only includes direct fees but indirect compensation such as founder’s shares, warrant arrangements, etc. The underwriting would involve an assessment of the fee levels to deem them appropriate to the peer group but would also factor in the amount of capital the sponsor was contributing themselves. As a general rule, the more skin in the game the sponsor has, the higher the level of comfort because it is perceived as a sign of confidence in their investment thesis.

In the case of a SPAC transaction, the insurance is typically being placed as a two year policy designed to coincide with the time allowed for the SPAC to find a target company. Once there is a transaction, the program converts to run off, for an additional premium. The acquired company would purchase on going cover but with a prior acts exclusion.

Most programmes are being built with incremental limits of $5m and pricing is attractive notwithstanding the additional exposures that these transactions contain.

B-4

For both IPO’s and SPAC’s the maximum capacity to be deployed is $5m and all transactions will be round tabled and will require PLD Manager and CUO approval.

For the avoidance of doubt a situation where a SPAC acquires a target company and purchases a new insurance programme with no prior acts coverage will be deemed a deSPAC transaction and will be treated in accordance with the general guidelines.

Territorial Scope

BSU will normally write risks domiciled in the USA including Puerto Rico; however it is also looking to write selected business in the offshore jurisdictions of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands where the risk is being handled by a US broker. A significant number of insurance carriers and funds are domiciled in these jurisdictions despite the fact that the vast majority of their operations entail US based activities, clients and exposures.

Reinsurance of an Insured’s Captive Insurance Company

Any request to write a policy as a reinsurance of our Insured’s captive insurance company requires the prior written approval of the PLD Manager and CUO prior to quotation.

Approval will be conditional upon BSU, determining the limit, attachment and premium; agreeing the policy wording issues by the captive insurance company and retaining authority for the handling of any claims

Section 1 Commercial Accounts (non-financial)

The targeted portfolio design will allow us to write large public account excess business (Fortune 2000) whose directors and officers view coverage as less of a commodity and more of a necessity in today’s tumultuous time. Midsized and large companies are experiencing a highly dysfunctional market and often cannot procure sufficient capacity in the marketplace. The large inventory of open claims has resulted in incumbent markets significantly reducing limits, re-underwriting portfolios and non-renewing accounts.

Public D&O

Initially all public company risks will be written on an excess basis however all risks will be underwritten, evaluated and rated ground up. Financially strong companies with prudent corporate governance are target accounts and the preferred classes include the following:

B-5

Underwriting Appetite

GREEN = Preferred Class for primary and excess subject to standard underwriting (any industries not noted under sectors below will be considered green)

YELLOW = Cautious, likely excess subject to underwriting (referral to Head of Commercial D&O)

•Covid exposed industries (travel, airlines, retail, hospitality, casinos) will be yellow until circumstances normalize.

BSU will attempt to proactively maintain a diversified sector penetration with no sector representing more than 20% of the portfolio

Private and Non-Profit

Initially BSU will only be writing excess business, but the plan is to rapidly develop primary capabilities and we have a broad appetite. However, any private or non-profit financial institutions will be written within the FI department and any healthcare exposed risks will be written using the expertise of the BSU healthcare underwriters.

B-6

The following risks would not normally be written:

Ø Any retail or restaurant chain (more than 5 locations) requesting EPLI.

Ø Any risk with more than 150 employees in the state of CA requesting EPLI.

Ø Any Not for Profit Healthcare Institution with greater than $25 million in assets,

Ø Any universities including those operating a hospital,

Ø Any large private secondary schools,

Ø Any for profit education facility

Ø Any national-in-scope charities,

Ø Any request for new limits or midterm limit increases not accompanied by a warranty letter,

Ø Any Fiduciary risk with an ESOP Plan,

Ø Any Union or multi-employer Plan,

Operating Protocols

Evaluating Risk

Underwriters will evaluate and document the following:

Ø Ownership structure

Ø Corporate governance & compensation structure

Ø Detailed financial analysis – accounting and solvency emphasis

Ø Macro-economic and industry events

Ø Stock valuation characteristics & history

Ø Litigation history

Ø Regulatory exposure

Ø Any unique or unusual risk factors that the risk presents.

Use of Limits and Attachment

Overall Exposure to an Insured across different coverages:

BSU will write multiple coverages to the same Insured, for example Directors and Officers Liability, Errors and Omissions Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Fiduciary Liability and Crime may all be written together. BSU recognizes that certain classes can aggregate together, specifically Directors and Officers Liability with Employment Practices Liability or Directors and Officers Liability with either Errors and Omissions Liability or Fiduciary Liability. To that end BSU will proactively manage its exposure to the risk of multiple coverages being triggered in a single

B-7

event to a maximum exposure of $ 20 million, other than when A-Side Directors and Officers Liability is written where the maximum exposure will be increased to $25 million.

Public Company:

Ø up to $15m Aggregate Per Risk, per coverage any Policy Year ($10m max on primary when contemplated)

Ø Target average limit of approximately $8m is the goal when scale is reached

Ø Target average attachment of approximately $50m is the goal when scale is reached (will likely be higher initially)

Private Company and Non-Profit:

Directors and Officers Liability

Ø $ 5 million Aggregate Per Risk, per coverage any Policy Year

Employment Practices Liability:

Ø $ 5 million Aggregate Per Risk, per coverage any Policy Year

Fiduciary Liability

Ø $ 5 million Aggregate Per Risk, per coverage any Policy Year

Ventilated limits usage

Ø On large layered programs we will consider ventilation especially for public companies. We should consider both ventilated attachment ($25M) and coverage Side A versus full coverage.

Aggregate v Per loss

Ø all limits will be aggregate, however some coverages do have inbuilt reinstatements being the CODA A-side Directors and Officers Policy contains a reinstatement of the original limit as do some Fidelity/Crime policies. Any other coverage that requires a reinstatement of the limit requires CUO prior approval.

Defense costs included or separate

Ø all defense costs are in the limits

Primary v Excess

Ø Public – 100% (initially)

Ø Private – 30/70%

B-8

Attachment

Ø Public – Attachment points will vary based on the individual risk exposure, the coverage being offered, the premium and the full limits of insurance being purchased. Although BSU may write some low-level attachment points ($5 or $10m) the majority of accounts are likely to attach higher up in the program (x $50M). The final attachment will be opportunity and risk dependent.

Ø Private - $5 x $5 on excess, $2m on primary.

Policy Period

Ø 12 months average

Ø Multiyear subject to referral

Ø No Refreshing Limits

Ø ERP Period Aggregate 1 to 6 years

Underlying Carrier Solvency

Ø We will not follow any company that does not maintain an A.M. Best’s rating of A- VIII.

Ø Any company that has an A- rating with negative outlook, needs to be approved by CUO. If approved, we will maintain a watch list and review quarterly.

Information Requirements (including use of specialist systems)

Ø Latest audited financial statements of the organization

Ø Public filings, if applicable (10-K, 10-Q, S-1, etc.)

Ø Bylaws of the organization (inclusive of indemnification provisions)

Ø Management profile and/or resumes

Ø Organizational structure

Ø Disciplinary history and regulatory audits

Ø Internal controls and compliance

Ø Board composition

Ø Ownership structure

Ø Prior litigation and claim

Underwriting process

The core xxxxx of the underwriting strategy recognizes that each major discipline (Underwriting, Claims, Actuarial and Operations) has a vested interest and meaningful contribution to the group’s success.

A well balanced portfolio of low to moderate severity risks is integral to delivering long term stable returns.

Key Underwriting Principles:

Ø Emphasize profitable growth

Risk Selection

Underwriting and Actuarial at BSU in conjunction with the CUO are developing proprietary pricing models which will be used to price the business. This pricing model is designed to capture the exposure characteristics of the risk and evaluate their relativity based on agreed factors. Risks will be priced from the ground up and then using a variety of exposure based ILF’s limits and attachments levels can be calculated.

It is important that key exposure factors are captured and recorded consistently and objectively, and the pricing tool is designed to aid this process. However, underwriters will also have the ability and/or authority to credit and debit risks based on underwriting judgement and experience.

Within the rating model there will be sections for the underwriter to fully document their evaluation of the risk, including a brief synopsis of the risk, what the underwriter liked about the risk, what they didn’t like about the risk, how they got comfortable with some of the negative risk factors and then a justification for why they wrote the risk at the terms and conditions that they did. This should include any coverage or pricing issues and then a rationale for the limit deployed and the attachment point.

After completion of the underwriting process the data from the rate sheet will be captured into a database to ensure that BSU has the appropriate and necessary tools to proactively manage the portfolio including peer reviews, profitability analysis or exposure management.

Section 2 - Financial Institutions:

The FI department will look to build a diverse and profitable book of FI risks which will be achieved via a rigorous and disciplined approach to underwriting and risk selection. The underwriters will target business from both retail and wholesale brokers throughout the United States with an initial focus on several key relationships.

The mix of business by FI industry type will vary depending on opportunities but the initial target breakdown is envisioned as follows:


Type of Organization	% of Premium	% of Risks
Banks	25	15
Hedge Funds, RE and Investment Managers	35	45
Private Equity	10	15
Insurance Companies	20	15
Broker Dealer and Other	10	10

Coverage, limit deployed and average attachment point per risk will vary and be dependent on the attributes of an individual risk and are described in more detail below.

Policy period will generally be 12 months. But we would target the ability to write a limited number of 2 or even 3 -year deals to lock in certain favorable market conditions. Certain lines of business such as SPACs require a multi-year policy or at the very minimum 18 months.

B-11

Banks:

Our overall view toward banks is that we will be looking to be highly selective and participate on sound programs that are in line with BSU underwriting standards.

We view community banks as the lowest risk as compared to their larger peers of super-regionals and the money centers. When underwriting a community bank for D&O/E&O we will be looking for the following qualities:

Ø The high-level narrative of the business

Ø If public then review SEC filings, if not review audited financials

Ø Quality of the balance sheet, capital structure, standard bank metrics and ratios, credit ratings

Ø Revenue breakdown and history of profitability

Ø Makeup of loan portfolio, issues specific to certain lines of business

Ø Non-lending elements of the business model (I.e. fee services, trust, asset management, insurance)

Ø Quality of Management, corporate governance

Ø Geography

Ø Ownership – if public, would require public D&O analysis including exposed market cap and various stock-based metrics, considerations

Ø Demographics of customer base

Ø Regulatory history

Ø Claims history

Ø General economic situation wrapping all of the above

Ø Policy terms and conditions

If EPL is included there would be additional underwriting of the employee count, locations by state, average compensation levels, appropriate HR procedures in place and a review of prior claims history.

If Fiduciary is included there would be a review of their Plans, assets under management, types of plans and the necessary underwriting given the style of Plan (I.e. funding status, proprietary investment options, company stock, etc.).

If Fidelity is included there would be a review of employee count, nature of the operations and procedures behind them including appropriate internal controls and separation of duties.

B-12

If cyber is included and we are to follow such coverage on a blended basis, we would review the cyber application, experience of the CISO, policies and procedures around security and privacy and the extent of the underlying coverage.

Assuming a risk passes underwriting we would be targeting an excess position on the community bank’s insurance program and most likely a $5m limit or occasional $10m. Community banks tend to buy smaller aggregate limit programs so these attachment points could be lower and potentially within the first $25m. The coverage provided would likely include D&O/E&O and potentially blended with EPL/PTL/Bond. We would usually be looking at $5m excess limits in the blended programs for community banks. If there is Side-A and pricing makes sense, we would consider deploying more than $5m but to a likely maximum of $10m per risk.

Super-Regional and Money Center Banks:

Larger banks tend to be significantly more complex than community banks due to their size and scope of operations. The larger banks also tend to be more frequent targets for regulatory investigations. Nevertheless, we believe there is opportunity to participate on the insurance programs of these banks on a selective basis and at mid to high excess attachment points.

For the super-regional banks, they tend to buy larger blended insurance programs with additional Side-A towers. Underwriting of these larger banks would entail a similar process to that described in the community bank section above with appropriate focus on issues more relevant to the scope of operations of the particular risk. Assuming a risk passes underwriting, and pricing makes sense we would consider a $5m limit in the mid to upper layer of the Blend, and then an additional limit of $5-$10m in the upper excess Side-A.

For the money center banks, they tend to buy large Side-A only towers. Our underwriting approach entails a comprehensive review of all the above factors but with a greater focus on regulatory risk, solvency concerns (if any) and the potential for derivative suits. Assuming a risk passes underwriting we would consider $5-$15m limits in the side-A tower for these risks. There are some that do purchase Blended programs as well. These carry considerable risk exposure but also carry appropriately robust retentions. On an opportunistic basis we may consider participating on such programs but assuming they pass underwriting our maximum limit on would be $5m. We would then require additional limits in the Side-Atower.

Hedge Funds and Investment Management:

Our most preferred classes within FI will be those in the business of diverse and passive investment management. This includes registered investment advisor (RIA), investment consultants, mutual funds, hedge funds and large diversified advisors.

B-13

We expect that most of the risks will be SME in nature. The coverage contemplated on a primary or excess basis includes D&O (usually private), E&O, Fund coverage and possibly EPL.

The main underwriting considerations considered on each risk will be as follows:

Ø Assets under management

Ø Investment strategies

Ø Portfolio and performance history

Ø Experience of management

Ø Quality of outside service providers

Ø Customer base

Ø Leverage

Ø Fees and other fund terms

Ø Regulatory considerations

Ø Macroeconomic considerations

Ø Employee count and location

Certain areas of asset management create heightened exposure for example hedge funds that engage in activism, direct lending, highly concentrated portfolios, or illiquid assets and our approach to underwriting these risks will be even more cautious.

We will consider participating on large diversified advisor or mutual fund complexes and although we expect to normally provide high excess capacity, should specific circumstances present an attractive low excess participation, BSU would consider an appropriate participation.

Most excess limits in this sector will be $5m although on appropriate risks and at the appropriate attachment BSU will consider deploying $10m.

BSU will shortly introduce a primary IMI policy and we will actively look at primary policies on small to medium size RIAs and hedge fund risks that pass our underwriting criteria.

Limits deployed on primary will be $5m or less.

EPL is an exposure that demands careful attention in the hedge fund sector due to the concentration of high income earning individuals. EPL on an excess basis is not as much of a concern as at the primary level in this space.

We will attempt to avoid providing EPL on a primary basis but if we do offer cover, we will normally impose a sublimit and/or higher retention.

B-14

Private Equity:

Private Equity has been a very challenged class within the FI market especially in recent years significant adverse claims activity. The claims activity primarily stems from regulatory matters, issues with portfolio companies and EPL claims. That being said, it is important to note that the claims activity tends to be confined to lower layers of programs for the larger risks although certain notorious risks have had very significant program losses. Currently the market has significantly corrected terms by increasing both retentions and premium to the point that the sector is viable on from an excess perspective albeit in a very controlled and measured manner.

In general terms coverage is similar to the investment management sector: D&O (usually private), E&O, Fund coverage and EPL. It is important to note that the E&O includes both investment advisor E&O and components of E&O covering the management of the portfolio companies.

Private Equity has many similar underwriting attributes as other investment management with the important distinction that they are active investment managers, not passive. The main underwriting attributes that are taken into consideration include:

Ø Assets under management, capital commitments

Ø Investment strategies, level of engagement

Ø The portfolio companies and their valuation and financial positions

Ø Leverage

Ø Board seats on portfolio companies, is there D&O insurance?

Ø Experience of management

Ø Quality of outside service providers

Ø Customer base

Ø Fees and other fund terms

Ø Regulatory considerations

Ø Macroeconomic considerations

Ø Employee count and location

Limits deployed will mostly be $5m although in certain circumstances $10m limits would be deployed always on an excess basis. The size of the firm will determine where we attach on the excess. For larger firms with AUM over $10b our attachment point will be a minimum of $30m. and for larger diversified PE operations that attachment point would be higher. We would also consider side-A.

B-15

Broker Dealers

We classify broker dealers into three categories: retail, institutional and financial advisory. Broker dealers with significant retail exposure are a prohibited class.

Institutional broker dealers or financial advisory firms (boutique investment banks) have historically had favorable loss experience and are a sector that BSU will write.

The underwriting exposures that will be evaluated are:

Ø Revenue

Ø Mix of services provided and average transaction size

Ø Industry verticals served

Ø Experience of management

Ø Review of client contracts for indemnity, harmless and damage limitations

Ø Regulatory considerations

Ø Claims history

The principal coverage in this sector is E&O but may include private company D&O and occasionally EPLI or PTL. For larger risks we will usually be excess deploying limits of $5m with occasional $10m limits. For smaller risks we would consider primary and deploy limits of $5m or less.

Insurance Companies

BSU will consider D&O/E&O on insurance companies and captives primarily in Property and Casualty; although life, accident and health insurance companies are not target risks they will be considered.

Underwriting considerations for insurance companies include:

Ø GWP/NWP – financials in general

Ø Rating – ideally must be AM Best A- or better unless a Midwest legacy carrier with a rating of B+

Ø Capital position

Ø Extent and quality of reinsurance

Ø Claims handling procedures

Ø Business mix

Ø Geography

Ø Experience of management

Ø Outside service providers

Ø Company stock metrics/performance (if publicly traded)

B-16

Ø Regulatory considerations

Ø Claims history

In general, we would be looking at only excess opportunities in the D&O/ICPL space. Normal limit deployment will be $5m with occasional $10m. We would consider side-A opportunities either as standalone opportunities or to compliment lower D&O/E&O layers.

Real Estate:

In the real estate segment, we generally will consider private Real Estate funds (Private RE funds), public mortgage REITs (mREITs) and public non-traded REITS (PNT REITs).

Exposures to be considered and underwritten include:

Ø The business model:

Ø Real estate classes

Ø Geography

Ø Financials and the portfolio makeup

Ø Experience of management

Ø Leverage

Ø Valuation

Ø Customer base

Ø Outside service providers

Ø Regulatory considerations

Ø Macroeconomic consideration

Ø If publicly traded, metrics like market cap analysis and review of regulatory filings

Ø Claims history

Private RE Funds have had a favorable loss history over a long period and are considered a preferred class. Coverage includes D&O (private), E&O, Fund and occasionally EPL. Limits deployed will generally be $5m with the occasional $10m. We will consider primary and excess but will initially focus on excess.

Mortgage REITs are usually publicly traded. The coverage generally includes public D&O and occasionally other lines like E&O or EPL. The mREIT space generally has a good claims history but nevertheless we will primarily be considering excess positions in this class. We will usually deploy limits of $5m although $10m will be considered on selected accounts.

B-17

Public non-Traded REITs are a challenging sector because their customer base can include retail customers and that coupled with their lack of liquidity and long term lock up creates heightened exposures and claims have manifested. The sector is underwritable and there are good risks notwithstanding the challenges. Coverage generally includes D&O/Fund and occasionally E&O and EPL and all risks would be excess only with a maximum $5m limit.

Other:

Within the “Other” segment we consider insureds that fall outside of the categories described above including government sponsored entities (GSE) such as Xxxxxx Xxx, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan banks.

When considering these risks, we will scrutinize the following exposures:

Ø Fully understand the business model and how the entity makes money

Ø Financial condition: Revenue, profit, assets, debt, equity, etc.

Ø Ownership

Ø Customer base

Ø Any unique exposures derived from the market in which they operate

Ø Outside service providers

Ø Experience of management

Ø Macroeconomic considerations

Ø Regulatory considerations

Ø Claims history

Within “Other” the following two subcategories require additional commentary:

Cryptocurrency – BSU will not consider any risks or coverage (primary or excess) that have conducted or plan on undergoing an Initial Coin Offering (“ICO”), nor risks that operate or intend to operate in the cryptocurrency space including but not limited to: storage providers, “wallets”, exchanges, advisors or other service providers.

However, this prohibition may not apply on risks such as a hedge fund, investment advisor or mutual fund where the exposure is confined to a holding or the risk facilitates the holding of long-only positions in cryptocurrency and such holdings represent less than 5% of the total aggregate assets under management.

FinTech – this category includes firms that are a hybrid between a financial institution and a technology company. It typically involves a novel use of technology that can be applied in a potentially disruptive approach to an existing facet of the financial marketplace and they often attract highly speculative valuations. Our position on this sector will be very cautious and excess only.

B-18

Coverages that may be considered include D&O, E&O, EPL and ancillary lines.

Excluded Coverages

The following policies or coverage grants will not be underwritten:

Ø Reps and Warranty

Ø Specific Litigation

Ø Tax or Transactional Liability

General Operating Conditions

UNDERLYING CARRIERS – For Excess Liability Policies Written

Primary and any underlying carrier should have a minimum A.M. Best rating of A- VIII

1.UNDERLYING POLICY PERIODS

BSU requires the underlying policy period be concurrent with our policy period or that our policy is specifically endorsed to address any matters related to non-concurrent dates and this is subject to Division Head approval.

2.UNDERLYING POLICIES

As respects Excess Liability Coverage, copies of the underlying binders and policies are required and the policy for the Followed Policy must be received and reviewed prior to issuance of the Bowhead policy. The underwriter is responsible for reviewing and approving in writing the issuance of our policy. If specific limitations or exclusions apply to the underlying policies, our policy will also contain those limitations or exclusions via the policy form wording or with further coverage limitations for our layer exposure available via specific endorsements. Underlying binders must be received, reviewed and attached to the file with minimum of the binder for Followed Policy received prior to binding and releasing a policy number. Excess quotes should not normally be released without full confirmation of underlying terms and conditions without Financial Lines Manger approval.

3.SELF-INSURED RETENTIONS AND DEDUCTIBLE

Self-Insured Retentions will be applied per product line by scheduled class within product line specific rate plans. Determination of Self-Insured Retention amounts will be based upon entity

B-19

size, risk factors and customer request. Any deviation below the rate plan recommended retention should have the reasoning for the deviation noted in the file and include the proper debit factors.

4.POLICY FORMS

Coverage may be written using a combination of approved Bowhead Policy Forms, approved endorsements and manuscript endorsements. All forms and endorsements, including manuscript forms must be pre-approved by division manager and/or CUO and, BSU legal or outside counsel.

5.MANDATORY & OPTIONAL ENDORSEMENTS

Mandatory:

Appropriate Declarations, Signature, Addendum (if applicable) Pages and policy form wording

If non-admitted company, Service of Suit Endorsement

US Treasury OFAC Wording Endorsement

Appropriate TRIA Endorsements

Applicable State Amendatory Endorsements

6.POLICY COVERAGE TERM

Policies are normally to be issued for a term of up to one-year plus odd time not exceeding 18 months.

In certain circumstances longer term policies may be underwritten for example companies in wind down and asset liquidation or where it is advantageous to BSU to lock in favorable terms for a longer period.

Extended Reporting Policies can be written up to a total of 72 months and Extended Reporting Periods greater than 72 months are to be referred to CUO of BSU.

The policy period will be controlled through LOA for policy periods greater than 18 months.

7.QUOTES

Quotes should be issued in writing for all accounts. Quote expiration date or validity period should be stated in the quote letter and only extended in writing/email by the underwriter.

B-20

8.LOSS ANALYSIS

A.Post-Loss Underwriting Review will encompass the following activities:

1) Claim status reports will be attached to underwriting files prior to renewal solicitation, generally 60 – 90 days prior to renewal date.

2) Underwriter will confirm number and types of losses outstanding and consult with claim executive on ultimate loss projection so that it can be incorporated into renewal pricing.

9.BINDING REQUIREMENTS

An insurance binder is a contract that temporarily affords coverage pending the issuance of a policy. Conditions of the binder should be identical to those shown on the policy. Xxxxxxx are issued by the underwriter through authority granted by their respective LOA.

1.All binders must be in writing and recorded in the appropriate systems, logs or bordereaux reports and issued within 24 hours of the effective date (unless coverage is backdated and has been approved by the appropriate Financial Lines Manager). Binders should include the name of the insured, coverage provided, policy term, limits of insurance, retention, premium, applicable policy terms, forms and endorsements and, if applicable, followed underlying policy and attachment point. Brokerage commission should be included in all binders.

2.All binders must be superseded by the issuance of a policy. The inception of the policy should coincide with the inception date of the binder.

3.Binders should be for a period not in excess of the policy period.

A binder should not be issued under the following conditions:

Ø Coverage is not authorized as part of the underwriting unit’s grant of authority.

Ø Coverage is over delegated authority level, without appropriate approvals in writing.

Ø Provide coverage that is not filed and approved in the state of domicile (if admitted paper) or provide coverage that is not in compliance with state regulations.

Ø Underwriter is not in receipt and acceptance of critical quoting subjectivities.

Conditional Binders may be issued pending receipt of requested materials but the relative importance of the information to the underwriting decision should be carefully weighed prior to issuance of the binder.

B-21

10.POLICY ISSUANCE

1) The policy will be issued within the current operational guidelines and will contain the agreed upon forms and endorsements per the binder.

2) No policy should be issued without receipt, review and acceptance of all required subjectivities of quoting and conditional binding. Issuance with secondary, non-critical subjectivities still pending at underwriter discretion if willing to waive receipt of the non-important information. Applications, warranties, financials and ownership if applicable should be considered critical information and receipt not waived without Division Head or CUO approval.

3) Excess Policies must have the underlying schedule of carriers, limits and policy numbers. As a rule, excess policies should not be issued until receipt of all underlying binders and at minimum Followed Policy though exceptions may be made provided Followed Policy’s binder with specimen forms has been received and reviewed and with the approval of the Financial Lines Manager.

4) Under no circumstances should an excess policy be issued prior to receipt and review of the Followed Policy without Division Head and CUO approval and Followed Policy Binder and applicable specimen forms and endorsements received.

11.POLICY AMENDMENTS / ENDORSEMENTS

1) Changes to the policy must be requested in writing by the agent and/or insured as applicable unless it is a correction to an error made in issuance. The effective date of any changes, other than date of receipt, must be fully justified.

2) After policy issuance, NO binder should be issued or amended. Amendments to coverage or terms should be handled by endorsing the in-force policy.

12.FILE REVIEWS

During the year, certain stakeholders of BSU including management, treaty reinsurance partners and various state insurance departments may, and as respects treaty reinsurance partners, will, conduct file reviews to measure compliance with state laws, guidelines, treaty terms and letters of authority. As such, underwriting files should be clear, organized, complete and available upon request. All referral and exception authorizations must be in the file and in writing.

B-22

Underwriting Files should contain at minimum the following information:

Ø Application relied upon for underwriting. Bowhead Application if received after quoting should be reviewed to ensure consistency of information with original application and included in file as well as any supporting information attached to the application or relied upon for quoting

Ø Financial Information or other product critical information as applicable

Ø Rating worksheet or system generated summary

Ø Underwriting support documents

Ø Underwriters workup with analysis and summary

Ø Loss runs

Ø Bowhead Claim information

Ø Quote Letters

Ø Binder

Ø Policy with all endorsements

Ø Underwriting Correspondence / emails

Ø Referral documentation if applicable

Ø Accounting Invoice and other issues

Casualty Underwriting Guidelines

The Casualty Lines Department (CLD) of Bowhead Specialty Underwriters (BSU) was formed in November 2020 by hiring experienced casualty experts with a proven track record of building a portfolio from scratch and creating consistent underwriting profits throughout the market cycle. Excess Casualty coverage will be written for a broad variety of commercial entities but will initially focus on the construction and manufacturing segments where current pricing conditions and capacity restrictions have created a significant opportunity.

CLD will institute a collaborative underwriting culture, utilizing underwriting roundtables to discuss individual risks. Each underwriter in CLD will be granted authority over time, as set forth in the Letter of Authority (LOA) issued to that underwriter. CLD’s focus will always be on profits versus premium; this concept is rooted in BSU’s DNA.

Product and coverage

The goal of CLD is to provide a solution-based Excess Casualty product to commercial insureds and brokers across the country. As a general matter, Excess Casualty policies provide coverage for catastrophic Commercial General Liability and Automobile exposures of an insured. Though the coverage may also apply above other exposures (e.g., liquor

B-23

liability in hospitality risks), these other exposures typically constitute a minor fraction of the potential loss exposure.

Territorial Scope

CLD will write risks domiciled in the USA, including Puerto Rico.

Underwriting Appetite

While CLD will initially focus on risks in the construction and manufacturing segments, we will entertain submissions from a wide variety of commercial enterprises. In terms of risk size, our focus, though not exclusively, will be on commercial enterprises with under $1 billion in annual sales or project size although risks of a larger size will also be entertained.

Notwithstanding our broad appetite, certain classes of business within the excess casualty market will be avoided. These classes include:

•Trucking

•Pharma

•Cannabis industry

•Sharing economy (ride sharing, vacation rentals)

•Manufacturers of products attractive to children (scooters, etc.)

Operating Protocols

Evaluating Risk

Underwriters will evaluate and document the following:

•Risk operations and scope of work

•Jurisdiction of the risk and operating area

•Underlying structure – pricing, policy language, underlying limits and aggregates

•Appropriate attachment point

•Submission quality

•Broker reputation

B-24

Limit and Attachment

•Aggregate Limits

A profitable excess book exposes as little aggregate as it can while aiming to have the underlying structure provide sufficient aggregate structure to cover anticipated and unlikely loss scenarios. Our Excess Casualty policy form contains a single aggregate for Prem/Ops and Products/Completed Operations. Endorsements are available to provide separate aggregates for each of these perils as long as the entire underlying structure does. Although many primary policies provide aggregates per job or per location, BSU does not intend to mirror this structure and our form will not follow it. However, we have an endorsement that provides a capped (preferably at 2x) multiple aggregate for placements where we are following aggregates per job or per location. Aggregate limits greater than 2x. require CLD Executive Manager or and Chief Underwriting Officer approval.

Underwriters are expected to offer a policy aggregate equal to the occurrence limit.

Providing aggregate limit beyond this amount will be an authority trigger and will require a referral to the CLD Manager if beyond the UW’s authority.

1.Underlying Aggregates:

Underwriters are expected to understand how the underlying aggregates apply and should not bind coverage unless they have obtained the actual forms being used on the scheduled underlying (see Binding Requirements below). Underwriters must fully understand all underlying coverage by reviewing underlying (sample) policy forms, rather than relying on broker representations.

•Attachment Point

The CLD will have $15 million in gross capacity, and will generally deploy this capacity with a balance between attachment point and limits as follows:


Bowhead Limit	Attachment Point	Notes
$1M to $4M	$1m/$2m/$2m or $2m/$4m/$4m primary	NY/FL should have minimum $5M attachment point.
$5M	$5M
$10M	$5 - $10M
$15M	$25M	Look for ventilation and shared layer opportunities

B-25

Our objective with per occurrence limits is to minimize them in regard to lower attachment points. The attachment point chart above defines the optimal posture to take in the marketplace but is not a comprehensive requirement. A specific risk situation may warrant a different approach and should be round-tabled with colleagues and CLDLeadership.

Treatment of the defense obligation is an important consideration in determining an appropriate attachment point. Whether underlying policies are written on a “defense within limits” or “defense outside limits” basis can have a material impact on per occurrence and aggregate erosion and exhaustion of underlying limits. Underwriters should be seeking a higher attachment point when writing over a “defense within limits” policy with full consideration to the potential for significant defense costs. Consultation with CLD Leadership is required when writing excess of a “defense within limits” policy at any attachment point.

A disciplined approach to limit and attachment point will optimize profitability while providing needed capacity and underwriting responsiveness in a distressed marketplace. Underwriters’ LOAs will specify limit and attachment point criteria.

Policy Period

In general, the CLD will write policies with terms of 12 months (plus odd time, not to exceed 18 months in total). However, multiyear policies for projects may be written, subject to approval by Product Manager. Our reinsurance treaty specifies allowable policy terms.

Underlying Carrier Solvency

•We will not attach over any company that does not maintain xxX.M. Best rating of A- (VIII).

•Any company with xxX- rating with negative outlook must be approved by Division Leadership. If approved, we will maintain a watch list and review periodically.

Information Requirements

(List information required from Application and Other Sources)

•Xxxxx or similar applications for General Liability, Automobile and Excess Liability

•Supplemental applications, particularly for contracting risks

•Five years of currently valued Company loss runs, in addition to a loss recap. Ten years is preferable for products risks

•Web searches for information to verify operations ofan insured, licensing information, Central Analysis Bureau, etc.

B-26

•Soil reports and statutes of repose

•Ensuring that the reinsurance treaty covers the risk and situation

•Any unique or unusual risk factors that the risk presents

Underwriting Process

A core xxxxx of the underwriting strategy recognizes that each major discipline within BSU (Underwriting, Claims, Actuarial and Operations) has a vested interest in, and can make meaningful contributions to, the CLD’s success. Active collaboration with members of those disciplines will take place as appropriate.

A well-balanced portfolio of low, moderate and higher severity business is integral to

delivering long term profitability, stable returns and marketplace relevance.

In furtherance of the above, our key underwriting principles include:

•Emphasis on profitable growth

•Diligent limit management

•Continued development of technical expertise

•Importance of regular claims feedback

•Consensus underwriting on unique and complex risks

•Accountability for underwriting decisions

•Retrospective and prospective exposure analysis

•Sustainable products and solutions

•Leadership and visibility in the Market

Risk Selection

Underwriting and Actuarial, working with the CUO, have developed proprietary pricing models which will be used to price the business. This pricing model is designed to capture the exposure characteristics of the risk and evaluate their relativity based on pre-determined factors. Risks will be priced from the ground up using a variety of exposure based ILF’s, allowing underwriters to price a variety of limits and attachment points.

It is important that key exposure factors are captured and recorded consistently and objectively, and the pricing tool is designed to aid this process. However, underwriters will also have the authority to modify pricing based on the risk’s differences in actual (documented) exposure to loss when compared to class expectations and based on underwriting judgement and experience.

After completion of the underwriting process, the data from the rate sheet will be captured into a database to ensure that CLD and Actuarial have the appropriate and necessary tools

B-27

to proactively steer the portfolio as it grows, including peer reviews, profitability analyses and/or exposure management. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) will be distributed periodically to aid in portfolio steering.

General Operating Conditions

1.UNDERLYING POLICY PERIODS

While BSU requires the underlying policy period be concurrent with our policy period our policy is written to address matters related to non-concurrent dates and other circumstances where underlying coverage may not apply.

2.UNDERLYING POLICIES

The underwriter is responsible for understanding, reviewing and approving the underlying coverages. This may be done prior to Binding by securing specimen (non-ISO and ISO Fill-in) underlying forms. If specific limitations or exclusions apply to the underlying policies, our policy will follow those conditions via the policy form wording or with further coverage limitations via specific endorsements. Underlying binders must be received, reviewed and attached to the file with minimum of the binder for the Scheduled Underlyer received prior to binding and releasing a policy number. Excess quotes may but Binders should not normally be released without full confirmation of underlying terms and conditions without CLD Manager approval.

3.POLICY FORM

Excess Casualty coverage will be written using a combination of the approved Bowhead Policy Form and endorsements. All forms and endorsements, including manuscript forms, must be pre-approved by division manager and/or CUO, and BSU legal or outside counsel. The product will initially be written on a non-admitted basis in order to facilitate entry into the market; the CLD intends to begin the process of obtaining admitted status in 3Q or 4Q 2021.

4.POLICY COVERAGE TERM

Policies are normally to be issued for a term of up to 12 months, plus odd time not exceeding 18 months in total. Multi-year policies for projects may be written, subject to the underwriter’s authority in his/her LOA or with Division Leadership approval.

B-28

5.QUOTES

Quotes will be issued in writing/email for all accounts. Quote expiration date or validity period is stated in the quote letter and may only be extended or revised in writing/email by or at the direction of the underwriter.

6.PRE-RENEWAL LOSS ANALYSIS

Prior to renewing any account:

1.Claim status reports must be requested as part of renewal solicitation, generally 60 – 90 days prior to renewal date; and

2.Underwriter will confirm number and types of losses outstanding and consult with claim executive on ultimate loss projection so that it can be incorporated into renewal pricing.

7.BINDING REQUIREMENTS

1.All binders must be in writing and recorded in the appropriate systems, logs or bordereaux reports and issued within 24 hours of the effective date (unless coverage is backdated and has been approved by the appropriate Excess Casualty Manager). Binders should include the name of the insured, policy term, limits of insurance and attachment point (i.e., underlying limits), premium, applicable policy terms, forms and endorsements, and name and policy number of controlling underlying policies. Brokerage commission will be included in all binders.

2.All binders must be superseded by the issuance of a policy. The inception of the policy should coincide with the inception date of the binder.

3.Binders should be for a period not in excess of the policy period.

A binder should not be issued under the following conditions:

•Coverage is not authorized as part of the underwriting unit’s grant of authority.

•Coverage is over delegated authority level, without appropriate prior written approval.

•Underwriter is not in receipt and acceptance of critical quoting subjectivities.

Binders may be issued pending receipt of requested materials, but the relative importance of the information to the underwriting decision should be carefully weighed prior to issuance of the binder.

B-29

8.POLICY ISSUANCE

1.The policy will be issued within the current operational guidelines and will contain the agreed upon forms and endorsements per the binder. It is important that we only bind what was quoted, and that the policy issued also reflects that. Any deviations are to be agreed by Divisional Leadership

2.No policy should be issued without receipt, review and acceptance of all required subjectivities of quoting and binding. Policies may be issued with secondary, non-critical subjectivities still pending at underwriter discretion if willing to waive receipt of the non-important information. Applications may be waived when an Underwriting Submission has been provided. Warranties should be considered critical information, and receipt may not be waived without Division Head or CUO approval.

3.No excess policy should be issued without receipt of the Controlling Underlying Insurance information (carrier names, dates, limits and policy numbers. As a rule, excess policies should not be issued until receipt of all underlying binders and at minimum the Controlling Policy (though exceptions may be made provided Controlling Policy’s binder with specimen forms has been received and reviewed, and with the approval of the Excess Casualty Manager).

4.Under no circumstances should an excess policy be issued prior to receipt and review of the Underlying policy(ies)er(s) without Division Head or CUO approval and Controlling Underlyer(s) Binder and applicable specimen forms and endorsements received.

9.POLICY AMENDMENTS / ENDORSEMENTS

1.Changes to the policy must be requested in writing/email by the agent of record and/or insured as applicable unless it is a correction to an error made in issuance. The effective date of any changes, other than date of receipt, must be fully justified.

2.After policy issuance, NO binder should be issued or amended. Amendments to coverage or terms should be handled by endorsing the in-force policy.

3.Provided there has been no Terrorism incident and the insured advises an error was made in their selection, we will allow an insured 30 days to change their minds on purchasing or rejecting Terrorism coverage. We will return or charge the quoted premium with the endorsement.

10.FILE REVIEWS and UNDERWRITING AUDITS

During the year, certain stakeholders of BSU including management, treaty reinsurance partners and various state insurance departments may, and as respects CLD Leadership and treaty reinsurance partners, will, conduct file reviews to measure compliance with state laws, underwriting guidelines, treaty terms and letters of authority. As such, underwriting files should be clear, organized, complete and available upon request. All referral and exception authorizations must be in the file and in writing. Underwriting Audit Scores will impact Performance Reviews.

B-30

11.DOCUMENTATION

Underwriting Files should, at minimum, contain the following information:

Our standard TRIA percentage will be 5% - unless coverage is rejected in the Underlyer – in which case we should charge 100%

13.UM/UIM

Certain States require excess policies to provide Excess UM/UIM coverage. When required we will quote Excess coverage at 100% of the excess auto premium. We will accept a state specific underlying UM/UIM election form that displays our policy numbers and carrier.

B-31

14.ATTACHMENTS (AUTO FLEETS)

Evaluate the composition of the auto fleets we are asked to insure. Fleets of Heavier vehicles may warrant a higher attachment point.

15.REINSURANCE

Every Underwriter is required to review and understand the treaty. This will be confirmed on your Letter of Authority. If you don’t, ask questions.

Facultative Reinsurance may be an option if the Treaty does not apply. Your LOA will advise.
