On January 3, 2023, The Fidelis Partnership (“TFP”) acquired 9.9% of the common shares of the Group. Certain directors, executive officers and management of TFP also own common shares of the Group.

On December 20, 2022, the Group and TFP entered into a rolling 10-year framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”), effective January 1, 2023, that governs the ongoing relationship between the two groups. Years one to three roll automatically, whereas from year four onwards, the Framework Agreement will roll at the sole written election of the Group, with such election to be delivered at least 90 days prior to the commencement of the subsequent contract year. Any decision by the Group to elect not to roll the Framework Agreement will mean that the remainder of the 10-year terms then in effect will continue in place. An election to roll the term of the Framework Agreement was delivered on October 1, 2025, in respect of the 2026 contract year.

Substantially all of the underwriting activities of FIBL, FUL and FIID have been outsourced to the corresponding operating subsidiaries of TFP on a jurisdictional basis. TFP manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. Other services provided by TFP to the Group include sourcing and administering the outwards reinsurance program, and support with business planning, capital management, insurance contract accounting and information technology. The Framework Agreement provides for the payment of the following fees with effect from January 1, 2023:

a.Ceding commissions: (i) a ceding commission of 11.5% of net premiums written of open market business procured by The Fidelis Partnership on or after January 1, 2023; (ii) a ceding commission of 3.0% of net premiums written of business sourced by The Fidelis Partnership via third party managing general underwriters on or after January 1, 2023; and (iii) a portfolio management fee of 3.0% of net premiums written of the business sourced by The Fidelis Partnership.

b.Profit commission: a profit commission of 20.0% of the aggregate operating profit (defined as underwriting income on business written by The Fidelis Partnership, subject to certain parameters for the allocation of general and administrative expenses, financing costs and other items, and excluding investment income), subject to a hurdle rate of return of 5.0% of underwriting return on equity.

For insurance contracts sourced by The Fidelis Partnership’s Managing General Agent incubator platform, Pine Walk, the fees and commissions follow separately negotiated arrangements and will not attract additional commissions under the terms of the Framework Agreement other than the portfolio management fee of 3.0%.
