HCI GROUP, INC. FILES (8-K) Disclosing Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

To mitigate risk from hurricanes, floods and other catastrophes, each year our
two insurance subsidiaries, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance
Company, Inc. (Homeowners Choice) and TypTap Insurance Company (TypTap),
implement a comprehensive reinsurance program whereby Homeowners Choice and
TypTap pay premiums to other entities that agree to indemnify Homeowners Choice
and TypTap against costs associated with policyholder claims caused by certain
catastrophic events.

Homeowners Choice and TypTap secured their reinsurance program for the year June
1, 2022 through May 31, 2023 by entering into contracts with multiple private
reinsurance companies and with the State Board of Administration of Florida,
which administers the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund.

The private reinsurance companies include National Liability & Fire Insurance
Company, Endurance Specialty Insurance Ltd., Munich Reinsurance America,
Transatlantic Reinsurance Company, Swiss Reinsurance America, Arch Reinsurance
Ltd., Chubb Tempest Reinsurance Ltd., Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. and its
affiliates, various Lloyd's syndicates, and our own Bermuda-based reinsurance
subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd. All of our private
reinsurers are AM Best rated 'A-' (Excellent) or better or have fully
collateralized their obligations to us.

The reinsurance contracts provide various coverages, limits, retentions, and
durations. The private reinsurance contracts cover, in general, hurricanes,
tropical storms, tornados, floods, and other large events. The Florida Hurricane
Catastrophe Fund agreement covers only storms designated as hurricanes by the
National Hurricane Center.

Management assessed the reinsurance needs for each insurance subsidiary,
including Homeowners Choice and TypTap, by region and peril for the 2022-2023
treaty year. Similar to last year, the company has secured four separate
reinsurance towers. Homeowners Choice and TypTap secured separate reinsurance
towers in Florida (Tower 1 and Tower 2) and share coverage for our expansion
states (Tower 3). For flood risks, the companies purchased shared reinsurance
flood coverage (Tower 4) covering all geographic regions. Claddaugh, our Class
3A Bermuda reinsurer, selectively participates on certain portions of our
reinsurance towers.

Homeowners Choice's Reinsurance Program - Tower 1

Our 2022-2023 Homeowners Choice reinsurance program provides coverage up to
$935.7 million for catastrophic losses in a single event in Florida, excluding
flood losses, which is sufficient to cover the company's probable maximum loss
resulting from a 1 in 281-year storm based on projected exposure at September
30, 2022. The total coverage for all occurrences is $1.33 billion. The
reinsurance retention for Homeowners Choice, excluding flood coverage, is $14
million for both first and second event.

The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund component of the program is estimated to
cover 90% of $573.0 million in excess of $246.7 million retention at a total
estimated cost of $41.5 million.

Premiums for the private reinsurance component of the program (excluding flood
coverage) are approximately $72.6 million, assuming no losses occur during the
period.

Homeowners Choice has entered into a multi-year private reinsurance agreement
that includes retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses
are minimal or zero. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, we will recognize an asset in the period in which the absence of
loss experience obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other consideration under
the contract. On the contrary, we will derecognize such asset in the period in
which a loss experience arises. Such adjustments to the asset, which accrue
throughout the contract term, will negatively impact our operating results if a
catastrophic loss event occurs.

The Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders program ("RAP"), created by the Florida
Legislature and signed into law on May 26, 2022, will have no impact on
Homeowners Choice's 2022-2023 Florida reinsurance program as we have elected to
defer coverage under this program until the 2023-2024 treaty year.

TypTap's Reinsurance Program - Tower 2

Our 2022-2023 TypTap reinsurance program provides coverage up to $637.3 million
for catastrophic losses in a single event in Florida, excluding flood losses,
which, is sufficient to cover the company's probable maximum loss resulting from
a 1 in 301-year storm based on projected exposure at September 30, 2022. The
total coverage for all occurrences is $902.3 million. The reinsurance retention
for TypTap, excluding flood coverage, is $10 million for both first and second
event.

The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund component of the program is estimated to
cover 90% of $360.8 million in excess of $155.4 million retention at a total
estimated cost of $26.1 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Premiums for the private reinsurance component of the program (excluding flood
coverage) are approximately $60.0 million, assuming no losses occur during the
period.

TypTap has entered into a single-year reinsurance agreement that includes
retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or
zero. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we will
recognize an asset in the period in which the absence of loss experience
obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other consideration under the contract.
On the contrary, we will derecognize such asset in the period in which a loss
experience arises. Such adjustments to the asset, which accrue throughout the
contract term, will negatively impact our operating results if a catastrophic
loss event occurs.

The Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders program ("RAP"), created by the Florida
Legislature and signed into law on May 26, 2022, will have no impact on TypTap's
2022-2023 Florida reinsurance program as we have elected to defer coverage under
this program until the 2023-2024 treaty year.

Expansion States Reinsurance Program - Tower 3

Our 2022-2023 Expansion States reinsurance program provides coverage up to $525
million for catastrophic losses in a single event outside of Florida, excluding
flood losses, which is sufficient to cover the company's probable maximum loss
resulting from a 1 in 253-year storm based on projected exposure at September
30, 2022. The total coverage for all occurrences is $1.03 billion. The
reinsurance retention for TypTap and Homeowners Choice, excluding flood
coverage, is $10 million for both first and second event.

Premiums for the private reinsurance component of the program (excluding flood
coverage) are approximately $54.2 million, assuming no losses occur during the
period.

TypTap and Homeowners Choice have entered into a single-year reinsurance
agreement that includes retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the
event losses are minimal or zero. In accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, we will recognize an asset in the period in which the
absence of loss experience obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other
consideration under the contract. On the contrary, we will derecognize such
asset in the period in which a loss experience arises. Such adjustments to the
asset, which accrue throughout the contract term, will negatively impact our
operating results if a catastrophic loss event occurs.

All States Flood Reinsurance Program - Tower 4

Our 2022-2023 TypTap and Homeowners Choice flood reinsurance program provides
coverage up to $60.5 million for catastrophic losses in a single event resulting
from the peril of flood. The total coverage for all occurrences is $87.5
million. The reinsurance retention for TypTap and Homeowners Choice, excluding
non-flood coverage, is $3 million for both first and second event.

Premiums for the private reinsurance component of the program (excluding
non-flood coverage) are approximately $7.3 million.

Claddaugh

Where we think prudent, particularly where, in our view, premium rates are high
relative to the risk, we selectively retain risk whereby Homeowners Choice and
TypTap purchase reinsurance from Claddaugh, our Class 3A Bermuda reinsurer.
Claddaugh participates across multiple reinsurance layers, geographies, and
perils through its participation on Towers 2 and 3. For the 2022-2023 treaty
year, Claddaugh has approximately $48.4 million of capital at risk and will
collect approximately $14.5 million in premium from our insurance subsidiaries
assuming no losses occur during that period.

HCI Group, Inc.

In total, HCI Group expects to incur net reinsurance premiums ceded of
approximately $247.3 million from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, assuming no
losses occur during that period. Our reinsurance premiums are an estimate based
on exposure projections and subject to true up at September 30, 2022.
