Forward-Looking Statements
In this presentation, the Company and its management discuss and make statements based on currently available information regarding their intentions, beliefs, current expectations, and projections of, among other things, the Company's future performance, economic or market conditions, including the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, current levels of inflation, changes in interest rates, labor market expectations, catastrophic events or geo-political conditions, legislative or regulatory actions or court decisions, business growth, retention rates, loss costs, claim trends and the impact of key business initiatives, future technologies and planned investments. Certain of these statements may constitute "forward-looking" statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and are often identified by words such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "target," "project," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pro forma," "seek," "likely," or "continue," or other comparable terminology and their negatives. The Company and its management caution investors that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Risks and uncertainties are inherent in the Company's future performance. Factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things, those discussed or identified from time to time in the Company's public filings with the

We establish and maintain strong, long-term relationships with our vetted and appointed traditional insurance agencies that actively market our products and services. We offer ease of doing business, provide responsive service, and pay competitive commissions. Our sales representatives and underwriters work closely with these agencies to market and underwrite our business. This results in enhanced understanding of the businesses, the risks we underwrite, and the needs of prospective customers. We do not delegate underwriting authority to agents or brokers.
We had approximately 2,523 traditional insurance agencies that marketed and sold our insurance products at
We have developed and continue to add other important and emerging distribution channels for our products and services including payroll companies, and health care and property and casualty insurers, as well as digital agents and marketplaces.
A meaningful concentration of our business is being generated by our specialty agent
Our digital distribution channel utilizes proprietary application programming interfaces (APIs) to submit, quote and bind applications for workers' compensation insurance. Digital agents generated 5% of our ending 2022 in- force premiums.
To address the changing buying behaviors of small and micro-businesses, we launched Cerity, which offers digital insurance solutions, including direct-to-customer workers' compensation coverage.
Cerity specializes in smaller risks in those classes of business where we believe that customers prefer an online experience and offers a digital and mobile-friendly experience that allows small businesses to easily acquire and maintain their policies.
