Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 1, 2012, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company, Ltd. (Claddaugh), our Bermuda-based captive reinsurer, entered into o retrocession contract with Moksha Re SPC Ltd. and multiple
participants (Moksha) whereby a portion of the business assumed from the our insurance subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (HCPC), is ceded by Claddaugh to Moksha. With respect
to the 2012-2013 contract year, which covers the period from June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013, Moksha assumed $13.8 million of the total covered exposure for approximately $4.0 million in premiums, a rate which management believes to be
competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. The $4.0 million premium was fully paid by Claddaugh in June 2012. Mokshas participants deposited an aggregate of $13.8 million into a trust account (including the $4.0 million premium paid
by Claddaugh) to fully collateralize Mokshas exposure. Trust assets may be withdrawn by HCPC, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the 2012-2013 Claddaugh reinsurance agreement. Among the Moksha participants, our chief
executive officer and our vice president of investor relations contributed $700,000 and $200,000, respectively. In addition, members of the chief executive officers immediate family contributed $942,500. The remaining participants, who are
multiple parties unrelated to us, contributed the balance of $7,960,000.
