HCI Group, Inc.

In 2018, we established a Board Observer Program to train selected individuals in public company board operations, governance and law, among other things, and prepare them to serve on public company boards. The program also provides for us a means to identify exceptionally well qualified candidates for our Board. In considering program participants, we emphasize segments of the population that may be underrepresented on public company boards. With limited exceptions, participants receive all board materials and are invited to attend and participate in all board meetings, although they do not have voting privileges. Our program consisted of two individuals during 2025.

Five participants in our Board Observer Program have served as members of our Board of Directors or the Board of Directors of one of our subsidiaries.
