Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “evaluate,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “probable,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “view,” or “will,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These statements reflect the Company’s reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

 

Such risks and uncertainties include risks or disruptions to the Company’s business as a result of the proposed sale of three of the Company’s subsidiaries, which constitutes the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “Asset Sale”); the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Purchase Agreement governing the terms of the Asset Sale; an inability to complete the Asset Sale due to a failure to obtain the approval of the Company’s stockholders or a failure of any condition to the closing of the Asset Sale to be satisfied or waived by the applicable party; the extent of, and the time necessary to obtain, the regulatory approvals required for the Asset Sale; the Company’s ability to spend or invest the net proceeds from the Asset Sale in a manner that yields a favorable return; potential conflicts of interest of certain of the Company’s executive officers in the Asset Sale; the outcome of any litigation that the Company may become subject to relating to the Asset Sale; an increase in the amount of costs, fees and expenses and other charges related to the Purchase Agreement or the Asset Sale; risks arising from the diversion of management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations; a decline in the market price for the Company’s common stock if the Asset Sale is not completed; a lack of alternative potential transactions if the Asset Sale is not completed; volatility or decline of the shares of FedNat Holding Company common stock to be received by us as consideration in the Asset Sale or limitations on the Company’s ability to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares; risks of being a minority stockholder of FedNat Holding Company if the Asset Sale is completed; disruptions in the Company’s operations from the Asset Sale that prevent the Company from realizing intended benefits of the Asset Sale; risks associated with the Company’s inability to identify and realize business opportunities, and undertaking of any new such opportunities, following the Asset Sale; the Company’s inability to execute on the Company’s reinsurance, investment and investment management strategy; potential loss of value of investments; risk of becoming an investment company; risks of being unable to attract and retain qualified management and personnel to implement and execute on the Company’s growth strategy following completion of the Asset Sale; and risks of the Company’s inability to continue to satisfy the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market following completion of the Asset Sale.

 

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Current Report and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.

In connection with the Asset Sale, the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and furnish to the Company’s stockholders a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents pertaining to the Asset Sale. Stockholders of the Company are urged to read the definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about the Asset Sale.

The directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees of the Company may be deemed “participants” in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders of the Company in favor of the Asset Sale. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered participants in the solicitation of the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Asset Sale is set forth in the proxy statement and the other relevant documents to be filed by the Company with the SEC.
