Sale of Renewal Rights

2. Sale of Renewal Rights

In September 2023, the Company sold the renewal rights of one of its insurance programs to another insurer for $2.5 million in cash. The program provided mostly liability insurance to the security guard and alarm installation industries. This program produced $41.0 million of gross earned premiums in 2022 and $41.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,

2023. The buyer began writing new and renewal policies for this program as of September 15, 2023. Under a related 100% quota share reinsurance agreement, the Company also ceded $30.9 million of its gross unearned premium in the program to the buyer on September 30, 2023, net of a 27% ceding commission. The Company retained the $22.6 million of the net cash owed to the buyer under a funds withheld provision within the agreement which increased the funds held under reinsurance agreements on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023. The funds withheld balance is expected to be paid out over the next four quarters as the ceded unearned premium is earned. The Company incurred $135,000 in expense related to this transaction. As part of this transaction, five claims staff transferred employment to the buyer. The buyer will handle all of the Company’s run-off claims for this program under a related claims administration agreement. The buyer also participated in the Company’s issuance of new public debt by purchasing $5.0 million of the new debt.
