AMERICAN COASTAL INSURANCE Corp

We are involved in routine claims-related legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We accrue amounts resulting from claims-related legal actions in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses during the period that we determine an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and we can estimate the amounts. Management makes revisions to our estimates based on its analysis of subsequent information that we receive regarding various factors, including: (i) per claim information; (ii) company and industry historical loss experience; (iii) judicial decisions and legal developments in awarding of damages; and (iv) trends in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation.

On October 20, 2023, we received notice that the DFS filed a notice of claim and demand for tender of insurance policy limits under our director and officer insurance to carriers participating in our director and officer’s insurance program (the “Claim”). The Claim alleges that former officers and directors of UPC were involved in wrongful acts that resulted in UPC’s insolvency and demands immediate tender of our director and officer’s policy limit of $40 million where we have a retention of $1.5 million. The former directors and officers of UPC deny the allegations. Although no litigation has arisen from the Claim, litigation is anticipated. We anticipate that directors and officers will be successful in their defense; however, due to our indemnification obligation, we accrued the policy retention amount of $1.5 million in 2023.
