U.S. Markets (Alternative Disclosure) via PUBT

Item 8.01. Other Events.

American Coastal Insurance Corporation ("ACIC" or the "Company") successfully renewed its all other perils catastrophe excess of loss agreement (the "AOP CAT" agreement). This agreement provides coverage for in-force, new and renewal business.

Effective January 1, 2024, ACIC, through its wholly owned insurance subsidiary American Coastal Insurance Company ("AmCoastal"), renewed the AOP CAT agreement. The agreement provides up to $100 million of limit excess of $10 million per occurrence to limit the Company's losses from catastrophe loss events other than named windstorms and earthquakes. The Company's wholly owned reinsurance subsidiary, UPC Re, is a participant in the AOP CAT agreement, bringing the Company's consolidated retention to $12.25 million per occurrence.

The cost of the agreement, excluding potential reinstatement premium, is approximately $9.9 million, a decrease of 9.24% year-over-year when risk-adjusted. Exclusive of ACIC's retention the AOP CAT agreement provides coverage of approximately $88 million for a first event and $84 million for a second event, or $172 million in the aggregate, an aggregate increase of $71 million or 70.3% year-over-year.
