Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement
April 29, 2026
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Please join us for the HCI Group, Inc. Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time). Doors open at 2:30 p.m. We will host our meeting at HCI’s headquarters located east of downtown Tampa, at 3802 Coconut Palm Drive, Tampa, Florida 33619.
2025 was a very exciting year for HCI. We delivered record operating results and return on equity, as we continued to combine efficient underwriting and appropriate full-cycle pricing with technological innovation. Thanks to a timely assumption of policies in the fourth quarter from Citizens Property Insurance Corp., we ended 2025 with almost $1.4 billion of premiums in force. Lastly, and most importantly, the Company successfully took the Exzeo Group, Inc. (Exzeo) public via initial public offering, while still retaining an 82.5% ownership stake.
In 2012, we created Exzeo, our“Insurance-as-a-Service” platform, with the understanding that integrating technology and analytics into all aspects of the insurance underwriting life cycle would set us apart from our competition, both in near-term performance and longer-term sustainability. What started as internally developed software has grown into a multi-billion-dollar asset for HCI and our shareholders. Our industry is evolving minute-by-minute as AI reshapes property and casualty underwriting. Thanks to Exzeo, we are leading this process by assisting companies to modernize, become more efficient, and future-proof their businesses. Looking forward, HCI is well-positioned to continue to drive profitable growth while prudently managing our balance sheet and risk-sharing arrangements, and, as a result, generateon-going value for both our shareholders and policyholders.
Our proposals this year include:
| • | To elect one Class B Director and three Class C Directors, |
| • | To ratify the appointment of external auditors, and |
| • | To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers. |
Please read the accompanying Proxy Statement and follow the voting instructions it contains so your votes will be counted.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of HCI, I thank you for your investment in HCI.
Sincerely,
Paresh Patel
Chairman of the Board
