Notes Accompanying the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

In these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms "Hagerty," and "the Company" refer to Hagerty, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including The Hagerty Group, LLC ("THG") unless the context requires otherwise. In addition, the Company's insurance policyholders and paid Hagerty Drivers Club ("HDC") subscribers are collectively referred to herein as "Members".

Description of Business —Hagerty is a market leader in providing insurance for classic cars and enthusiast vehicles. Through Hagerty's insurance model, the Company acts as a Managing General Agent ("MGA") by underwriting, selling, and servicing classic car and enthusiast vehicle insurance policies. The Company then reinsures a large portion of the risks written by its MGA subsidiaries through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hagerty Reinsurance Limited ("Hagerty Re"). In addition, Hagerty offers HDC memberships, which can be bundled with its insurance policies and give subscribers access to an array of products and services, including Hagerty Drivers Club Magazine, automotive enthusiast events, Hagerty's proprietary vehicle valuation tool, emergency roadside assistance, and special vehicle-related discounts. Lastly, to complement its insurance membership offerings, the Company offers Hagerty Marketplace ("Marketplace"), where car enthusiasts can buy, sell, and finance collector cars.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Basis of Presentation —The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Hagerty, Inc., which is comprised of THG and its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as permitted by such rules and regulations.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation —The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain the accounts of Hagerty, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Hagerty, Inc. had economic ownership of 24.9% of THG and is its sole managing member. Hagerty, Inc. reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in THG held by other parties.

The financial statements of THG are consolidated by the Company under the voting interest method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, Consolidations("ASC 810"). Non-controlling interest is presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Temporary Equity and Stockholders' Equity.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities —Broad Arrow Capital LLC ("BAC") and certain of its subsidiaries transfer notes receivable to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entities (each, an "SPE") to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 12 — Long-Term Debt).

These SPEs are considered to be variable interest entities (each, a "VIE") under GAAP and their financial statements are consolidated by BAC, which is the primary beneficiary of the SPEs and is also a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. BAC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because it has (i) power over the significant activities of the SPEs through its role as servicer of the notes receivable used to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant through its interest in the residual cash flows of the SPEs.

Refer to Note 3 — Notes Receivable and Note 12 — Long-Term Debt for additional information.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated variable interest entities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Emerging Growth Company —The Company currently qualifies as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies.

The Company intends to avail itself of this extended transition period and, therefore, the Company may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies or have opted out of using such extended transition period. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not delayed the adoption of any new or revised accounting standards despite qualifying as an emerging growth company.

Reclassifications —Certain prior period operating lease balances on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows originally reported within changes in "Other assets and liabilities, net" are now reported within "Non-cash lease expense" to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates —The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are considered reasonable, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: (i) the provision for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including incurred but not reported claims (see Note 8); (ii) the valuation of the Company's deferred income tax assets (see Note 17); (iii) the amount of the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") (see Note 17); (iv) the fair values of the reporting units used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (v) the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets (see Note 7); and (vi) the fair value of the Company's warrant liabilities (see Note 11). Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the current estimates are reasonable in all material respects. These estimates are reviewed regularly and adjusted as necessary. Adjustments related to changes in estimates are reflected in the Company’s results of operations in the period during which those estimates changed.

Segment Information — The Company hasone operating segment andone reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on consolidated financial information. The Company’s segment presentation reflects a management approach that utilizes a decision making framework with its Members and customers at the center of all decisions, which requires the CODM to have a consolidated view of the Company's results.

Foreign Currency Translation —The Company translates its foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into United States ("U.S.") dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and foreign currency denominated income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in "Foreign currency translation adjustments", a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized within "Interest and other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information —The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes —In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 -Income Taxes (ASC 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign), and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU No. 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The effective date of ASU No. 2023-09 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still assessing the impact of ASU No. 2023-09 and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional disclosure in the footnotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Reporting —In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 -Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enables investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows through improved reportable segment disclosure requirements. The amendments enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The effective date of ASU 2023-07 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

2 — Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue —The tables below present Hagerty's revenue by distribution channel, as well as a reconciliation to total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Commission and fee revenue and contingent underwriting commission ("CUC") revenue earned from the agent distribution channel includes revenue generated through Hagerty's relationships with independent agents and brokers. Commission and fee revenue and CUC revenue earned from the direct distribution channel includes revenue generated by Hagerty's employee agents.

Historically, the Company's MGA subsidiaries have earned a base commission of approximately 32% of written premium, as well as an additional contingent commission of up to 10% annually. In December 2023, the Company's alliance agreement and associated agency agreement with Markel Group, Inc. ("Markel") was amended to increase the base commission rate on the personal lines U.S. auto business to 37% and to adjust the contingent commission to range from -5% to a maximum of +5% of annual written premium. This amendment resulted in a smaller proportion of total revenue being attributable to contingent commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Contract Assets and Liabilities —The following table is a summary of the Company's contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

March 31,2024December 31,2023
in thousands
Contract assets$8,017$75,891
Contract liabilities$48,165$47,651

Contract assets, which are reported within "Commissions receivable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consist of CUC receivables, which are earned throughout the year and have historically been settled by a cash payment from the insurance carrier in the first quarter of the following year. As a result of its amended alliance agreement and associated agency agreement with Markel, beginning in 2024,80% of the CUC receivables from Markel are now being settled monthly rather than on an annual basis. This amendment resulted in a significant decrease in the contract assets balance compared to the prior year.

Contract liabilities consist of cash collected in advance of revenue recognition and primarily includes the unrecognized portion of HDC membership fees, as well as the unrecognized portion of the advanced commission payment received from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm"). Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information regarding the Company's master alliance agreement with State Farm.

3 — Notes Receivable

BAC provides financing solutions to qualified collectors and businesses by structuring loans secured by collector cars. The loans underwritten by BAC include term loans and short-term bridge financings. BAC also provides advances to consignors who agree to sell their cars via auction or private sale through subsidiaries of Broad Arrow Group, Inc. ("Broad Arrow"). The loans underwritten by BAC are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Notes receivable" while consignor advances are recorded within "Other current assets".

Loans carry either a fixed or variable rate of interest and typically have an initial maturity of up totwo years, often with an option for the borrower to renew forone year increments, provided the borrower remains in good standing, including maintaining a specified targeted loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio for the loan. The carrying value of the BAC loan portfolio approximates its fair value due to the relatively short-term maturities and the market rates of interest associated with most loans.

In certain situations, BAC makes loans to refinance accounts receivable balances generated by Broad Arrow auction or private sale purchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, BAC issued $2.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of such loans. These loans are accounted for on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as non-cash reclassifications between "Accounts receivable" and "Notes receivable" and are, therefore, not presented within Investing Activities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Upon repayment, the cash received in settlement of such loans is classified within Operating Activities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, such repayments totaled $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Beginning in December 2023, a portion of the lending activities of BAC are funded with borrowings drawn from the BAC Credit Facility, with the remainder funded by the Company's available liquidity. Prior to December 2023, the lending activities of BAC were funded primarily by the Company's available liquidity. Refer to Note 12 — Long-Term Debt for additional information regarding the BAC Credit Facility.

BAC aims to mitigate the risk associated with a potential devaluation in collateral by targeting a maximum LTV ratio of 65% (i.e., the principal loan amount divided by the estimated value of the collateral at the time of underwriting). The LTV ratio is reassessed on a quarterly basis or if the loan is renewed. The LTV ratio is reassessed more frequently if there is a material change in the circumstances related to the loan, including if there is a material change in the value of the collateral, a material change in the borrower's disposal plans for the collateral, or if an event of default occurs. If, as a result of this reassessment, the LTV ratio increases above the target level, the borrower may be asked to make principal payments and/or post sufficient additional collateral to reduce the LTV ratio as a condition of future financing, renewal, or to avoid a default. In the event of a default by a borrower, BAC is entitled to sell the collateral to recover the outstanding principal, accrued interest balance, and any expenses incurred with respect to the recovery process.

Management considers the valuation of the underlying collateral and the LTV ratio as the two most critical credit quality indicators for the loans made by BAC. In estimating the value of the underlying collateral for BAC's loans, management utilizes its expertise in the collector car market and considers an array of factors impacting the current and expected sale value of each car including the year, make, model, mileage, history, and in the case of classic cars, the provenance, quality of restoration (if applicable), the originality of the body, chassis, and mechanical components, and comparable market transaction values.

The repayment of BAC's loans can be adversely impacted by a decline in the collector car market in general or in the value of the collateral, which may be concentrated within certain marques, vintages, or types of cars. In addition, in situations when BAC’s claim on the collateral is subject to a legal process, the ability to realize proceeds from the collateral may be limited or delayed.

As of March 31, 2024, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $60.9 million, of which $56.5 million was classified within current assets and $4.4 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $52.9 million, of which $35.9 million was classified within current assets and $17.0 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The classification of a loan as current or long-term takes into account the contractual maturity date of the loan, as well as known renewals after the balance sheet date.

The table below provides the aggregate LTV ratio for BAC's loan portfolio as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

March 31,December 31,
20242023
in thousands
Secured loans$60,947$52,914
Estimate of collateral value$112,299$108,496
Aggregate LTV ratio54.3%48.8%

As of March 31, 2024, two borrowers had loan balances that exceeded 10% of the total loan portfolio. These loans total $24.6 million, representing 40% of the total loan portfolio. The collateral related to these loans was $47.2 million, resulting in an aggregate LTV ratio of 52%.

Management considers a loan to be past due when an interest payment is not paid within 10 business days of the monthly due date, or if the principal amount is not repaid by the contractual maturity date. Typically, a loan becomes past due only for a short period of time during which the loan is renewed or collateral is sold to satisfy the borrower's obligations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of past due principal and interest payments was not material.

A non-accrual loan is a loan for which future interest income is not recorded due to management’s determination that it is probable that future interest on the loan will not be collectible. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of non-accrual loans was not material.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for expected credit losses related to the BAC loan portfolio was not material based on management’s quarterly risk assessment, which takes into consideration a number of factors including the level of historical losses for similar loans, the quality of the collateral, the low LTV ratio of the loans, management's overall assessment of the current circumstances and risks related to each loan, and, to a lesser extent, the circumstances related to each borrower.

4 — Other Assets

Hagerty Re renegotiated its catastrophe reinsurance coverage effective January 1, 2024, with terms and limits similar to 2023. The 2024 catastrophe reinsurance program for accounts with total insured values ("TIV") of up to $5.0 million affords coverage in excess of a per event retention of $28.0 million intwo layers; $22.0 million excess of $28.0 million, and $55.0 million excess of $50.0 million for a total of $105.0 million.

In 2023, Hagerty Re had quota share agreements with various reinsurers to cede 70% of its physical damage exposure on U.S. accounts written or renewed with TIV equal to or greater than $5.0 million ("High-Net-Worth Accounts"). These High-Net-Worth Accounts are assumed 100% from a wholly owned subsidiary of Markel. Effective January 1, 2024, Hagerty Re is ceding 100% of its High-Net-Worth Accounts physical damage exposure via quota share agreements with various reinsurers. Some of the reinsurers involved in these quota share agreements are related parties. Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

Hagerty Re receives ceding commissions related to premiums ceded under reinsurance contracts related to High-Net-Worth Accounts. Ceding commissions are recognized ratably over the terms of the related policies, which are generally 12 months, and are recorded within "Ceding commissions, net" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred portions of ceding commissions received are included in "Deferred acquisition costs, net" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve Hagerty Re from its primary liability to the ceding carriers according to the terms of its reinsurance treaties. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in additional losses to Hagerty Re. Hagerty Re evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from its exposure to individual reinsurers. All of Hagerty Re's reinsurers have an A.M. Best rating of A- (Excellent) or better, or fully collateralize their maximum obligation under the treaty.

10 — Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges

In the first quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in force (the "2023 RIF") following a strategic review of business processes as the Company focuses on driving efficiencies in order to achieve growth and profitability goals. As a result, the Company recognized $5.5 million within "Restructuring, impairment and related charges, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These charges consisted of $5.1 million of severance-related costs associated with the 2023 RIF and a $0.4 million impairment charge to write-down the value of certain digital media content assets. As of December 31, 2023, all liabilities associated with the 2023 RIF were settled.

11 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company's recurring significant fair value measurements primarily relate to interest rate swaps, warrant liabilities, and fixed income investments. The Company uses valuation techniques based on inputs such as observable data, independent market data, and/or unobservable data. Additionally, the Company makes assumptions in valuing its assets and liabilities, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques.

The Company classifies fair value measurements within one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy. The level assigned to a fair value measurement is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input requires judgment. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to measure the asset or liability at fair value.

The Company's policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels, if any, at the end of the reporting period.

Recurring fair value measurements

Interest rate swaps

Interest rate swap agreements are used to fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company's existing variable rate debt to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense within "Interest and other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company hadone outstanding interest rate swap, which was entered into in December 2020, with an original notional amount of $35.0 million, a fixed swap rate of 0.81%, and maturity in December 2025. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap is included within either "Other long-term assets" or "Other long-term liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company designated its outstanding interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company also assessed, at the hedge's inception and will continue to assess on an ongoing basis, whether the interest rate swap was highly effective in offsetting variability in the cash flows of the variable rate borrowings. The hedge is deemed effective, and therefore, the change in fair value is recorded within "Derivative instruments" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). In the event the cash flow hedge is no longer deemed effective, such amounts would be reclassified into interest expense, net from "Other comprehensive income (loss)". There were no such reclassifications during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not expect to have a reclassification into earnings within the next 12 months.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the interest swap was in an asset position and had a fair value of $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Interest rate swaps are determined to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of interest rate swaps, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") forward curve, are considered observable market inputs. The Company monitors the credit and nonperformance risk associated with its counterparty and believes them to be insignificant.

Warrant liabilities

The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(3)The OTM Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and expire in December 2031.

The Company's Public Warrants are Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy as they are measured utilizing quoted market prices. The Company's Private Placement Warrants, Underwriter Warrants, OTM Warrants, and PIPE Warrants are Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the fair value of these warrants. The Company’s Monte Carlo simulation model includes assumptions related to the expected stock price volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate.

The following table summarizes the significant inputs used in the valuation model for the Private Placement Warrants as of March 31, 2024:

InputsPrivate Placement WarrantsUnderwriter WarrantsOTM WarrantsPIPE Warrants

Expected term of the warrants2.672.677.682.67
Risk-free rate4.50%4.50%4.20%4.50%
Dividend yield—%—%—%—%

The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on factors including, but not limited to, implied volatility of the Public Warrants, the historical performance of comparable companies, and management's understanding of the volatility associated with similar instruments of other entities.

The risk-free rate is based on the yield of the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity for a term that approximates the expected remaining life of the warrants, which is assumed to be the remaining contractual term.

The dividend rate is based on the Company’s historical rate, which is expected to remain atzero.

Fixed Income Investments

The Company has fixed income investments that consist of Canadian Sovereign, Provincial and Municipal fixed income securities held in a trust account to meet the requirements of a third-party insurer in connection with Hagerty Re's reinsurance agreement. These fixed income investments are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. The Company has determined that its fixed income investments are Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as these investments are valued using observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date. The critical credit quality indicator for the fixed income investments is the credit ratings of the issuer. Management considers all of the fixed income investments currently held by Hagerty Re to be investment grade. The fixed income investments are included within "Other current assets" and "Other long-term assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table discloses the fair value and related carrying amount of fixed income investments held within Hagerty Re as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Total$17,953$17,773$16,472$16,262

Each reporting period, management reviews the credit rating of each security to ensure it is considered investment grade. Based on the factors outlined above, as of March 31, 2024, the Company does not expect any credit losses related to the fixed income investments and therefore there is no allowance for credit losses recorded. The Company did not record any gains or losses on these securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

JPM Credit Facility

THG has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, as amended (the "JPM Credit Agreement"). The JPM Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "JPM Credit Facility") with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $230.0 million. The JPM Credit Agreement also provides for an uncommitted incremental facility under which the Company may request one or more increases in the amount of the commitments available under the JPM Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. Additionally, the JPM Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $25.0 million and borrowings in the British Pound and Euro of up to $40.0 million in the aggregate. The JPM Credit Agreement matures in October 2026, but may be extended if agreed to by the Company and the lenders party thereto. Any unpaid balance on the JPM Credit Facility is due at maturity.

The JPM Credit Facility accrues interest at the applicable reference rate, primarily Term SOFR, depending on the currency of the borrowing plus an applicable margin determined by the Company's net leverage ratio for the preceding period (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement). The effective interest rate related to the JPM Credit Facility was 6.81% and 7.16% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

JPM Credit Facility borrowings are collateralized by assets and equity interests in THG and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for (i) the assets held by the SPEs related to the BAC Credit Facility and (ii) all or a portion offoreign and certain excluded or immaterial subsidiaries.

Under the JPM Credit Agreement, THG is required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement), including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the JPM Credit Agreement.

BAC Credit Facility

In December 2023, BAC and its wholly owned subsidiary BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC, as borrower, entered into a revolving credit facility with a certain lender (the "BAC Credit Agreement"). The BAC Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "BAC Credit Facility"), which has an aggregate borrowing capacity of $75.0 million and is subject to a borrowing base that is determined by a calculation that is primarily based upon a percentage of the carrying value of certain BAC notes receivable. As of March 31, 2024, the applicable borrowing base for the BAC Credit Agreement was $29.2 million.

The revolving borrowing period provided by the BAC Credit Agreement expires on December 21, 2025 and the BAC Credit Agreement matures on December 21, 2026. The revolving borrowing period and the maturity date of the BAC Credit Agreement may be extended byone year if requested by BAC and agreed to by the administrative agent. BAC is not a borrower or guarantor of the BAC Credit Facility.

In connection with the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and certain of its subsidiaries transfer certain notes receivable originated by BAC and certain of its subsidiaries to wholly owned, bankruptcy remote SPEs to secure the borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement. These SPEs have the limited purpose of acquiring notes receivable or a certificate representing beneficial ownership interest therein from BAC and certain of its subsidiaries. Assets transferred to each SPE are legally isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries. Further, the assets of each SPE are owned by such SPE and are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. BAC continues to service the notes receivable transferred to the SPEs.

Recourse to the Company and its subsidiaries that originated and transferred notes receivable that represent collateral under the BAC Credit Facility is limited to (i) an obligation of the applicable seller to repurchase a note receivable if it is determined that there was a breach of any representation or warranty relating to such note receivable as of the relevant date specified in the related transfer agreement and (ii) a limited guarantee covering certain liabilities that may result under certain foreign exchange hedging activity of one of the SPEs.

Under the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC are required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants, including the requirement of BAC, as the servicer, to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity balances, and an indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the BAC Credit Agreement.

State Farm Term Loan

In September 2023, Hagerty Re entered into an unsecured term loan credit facility with State Farm in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the "State Farm Term Loan"). The State Farm Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and will mature in September 2033. State Farm is a related party to the Company. Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

Notes Payable

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding notes payable, which are used to fund certain loans made by BAC in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), totaling $6.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The effective interest rates for these notes payable range from 7.0% to 9.8% with repayment due between October 2024 and August 2025. Refer to Note 3 — Notes Receivable for additional information on the lending activities of BAC.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has authorized three letters of credit for a total of $11.1 million for operational purposes related to Hagerty Re's Section 953(d) tax structuring election and lease down payment support.

13 — Convertible Preferred Stock

In June 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to which it closed, issued and sold (the "Closing") to the Investors an aggregate of 8,483,561 shares of the Company's newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $80.0 million, at a per-share purchase price of $9.43 (the "Series A Purchase Price" and the transaction, the "Private Placement").

The Investors include State Farm, Markel, and persons related to Hagerty Holding Corp. ("HHC"). State Farm and Markel are both significant stockholders of the Company, each holding in excess of 5% of the outstanding common stock. McKeel Hagerty is the Company's CEO and the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Hagerty and Tammy Hagerty may be deemed to control HHC, which is the controlling stockholder of the Company. Prior to and continuing after the Private Placement, each of State Farm and Markel have the right to nominate one director to the Company’s Board of Directors and HHC has the right to nominate two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. Refer to Note 14 — Stockholders' Equity and Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement, after deducting issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million, were $79.2 million, which was recorded within Temporary Equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is using the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated redemption value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $123.4 million, which represents the maximum cash payment, including cumulative dividends, that would be required to be paid if the Optional Term Redemption provision in the Certificate of Designations, as summarized below, is exercised as of the earliest possible redemption date of June 23, 2028. The decision to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash is made at the discretion of the Company; however, the Company is controlled by HHC through its voting control of the Company. Accordingly, the redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is considered outside the control of the Company and, as a result, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is recorded within Temporary Equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has elected to apply the accretion method to adjust the carrying value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimated redemption value. Amounts recognized to accrete the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimated redemption value are treated as a deemed dividend and are recorded as a reduction to "Additional paid-in capital". The estimated redemption value may vary in subsequent periods and the Company has elected to recognize such changes prospectively.

The captioned sections below provide a summary of the material terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations").

Ranking — The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Class A Common Stock, the Class V Common Stock and each other class or series of shares of the Company that the Company may issue in the future the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks equally with, or senior to, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution.

Dividends — Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 7% of the Series A Purchase Price of each share, plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded annually (the "Accruing Dividends"). The Company may elect to pay the Accruing Dividends either in cash or in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will participate on an as-converted basis in dividends declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock.

Conversion — Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion price for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is initially $11.79 and is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including a stock split, a reverse stock split, or a dividend of the Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock to the Company’s common stockholders (as adjusted, the "Conversion Price"). The Company may require such conversion (i) if the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock, for at least twenty (20) of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days, exceeds: (a) on or after the third and prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing,150% of the Conversion Price; or (b) on or after the seventh and prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing,100% of the Conversion Price; and (ii) on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing. The conversion rate in effect at any applicable time (the "Conversion Rate") is the quotient obtained by dividing the Series A Purchase Price by the Conversion Price.

As of March 31, 2024, no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted and the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 6,785,410 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Voting — The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock votes together with the Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class. The Investors have veto rights over (i) changes to the terms of the Certificate of Designations or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws that adversely impact the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the issuance of equity securities senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or other securities convertible thereto.

Liquidation Preference — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be paid the greater of (i) the Series A Purchase Price plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, and (ii) the amount that such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (the "Liquidation Preference"). After payment of the Liquidation Preference, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will no longer be convertible and will not participate in any distribution made to the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock.

Change of Control — Upon a merger, consolidation, sale or other change of control transaction as described in the Certificate of Designations (a "Change of Control"), either (i) the Company may elect to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or (ii) each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, individually, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be the greater of: (a) the Series A Purchase Price plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by (i) if prior to or on the third anniversary of the Closing,120%; (ii) if after the third but prior to or on the fifth anniversary of the Closing,110%; (iii) if after the fifth anniversary of the Closing,100%; and (b) the amount such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into the Class A Common Stock prior to the Change of Control. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are not so redeemed will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock and be paid in connection with the Change of Control.

Fundamental Transaction — In the event of any acquisition by the Company with a transaction value of at least $500.0 million or any equity or debt financing by the Company that raises at least $500.0 million, either (i) the Company may elect to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, individually, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by: (a) if prior to or on the third anniversary of the Closing,120%; (b) if after the third but prior to or on the fifth anniversary of the Closing,110%; (c) if after the fifth but prior to or on the sixth anniversary of the Closing,108%; (d) if after the sixth but prior to or on the seventh anniversary of the Closing,106%; (e) if after the seventh but prior to or on the eighth anniversary of the Closing,104%; (f) if after the eighth but prior to or on the ninth anniversary of the Closing,102%; or (g) if after the ninth anniversary of the Closing,100%.

Optional Term Redemption — Any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the then-outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash (a "Term Redemption"). The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be equal to the greater of: (i) the Series A Purchase Price plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by: (a) if after the fifth but prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing,110%; (b) if on or after the sixth but prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing,108%; (c) if on or after the seventh but prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing,106%; (d) if on or after the eighth but prior to the ninth anniversary of the Closing,104%; (e) if on or after the ninth but prior to tenth anniversary of the Closing,102%; or (f) if on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing,100%; and (ii) the amount such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into Class A Common Stock prior to the Term Redemption.

Registration Rights Agreement — In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which, the Investors will be entitled to certain demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of THG was amended and restated in the form of a Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, to, among other things, create a new series of preferred units within THG ("THG Preferred Units"), which are all held by Hagerty, Inc., to parallel the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. THG Preferred Units are recorded on the standalone unconsolidated financial statements of THG at their estimated redemption value, which represents the maximum cash payment, including cumulative dividends, that would be required to be paid to Hagerty, Inc. upon a Term Redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Amounts recognized to accrete the THG Preferred Units to their estimated redemption value are treated as a deemed dividend due to Hagerty, Inc. The amount of this deemed dividend is attributed entirely to Hagerty, Inc. prior to allocating the remainder of THG's net income between controlling and non-controlling interests. Refer to Note 13 — Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information on the Private Placement and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

At the end of each reporting period, THG equity attributable to Hagerty, Inc. and the non-controlling unit holders, respectively, is reallocated to reflect their current ownership in THG.

15 — Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated under the Two-Class Method using Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using diluted Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The Company's potentially dilutive securities consist of (i) unexercised warrants, unvested share-based compensation awards, and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan, with the dilutive effect calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, and (ii) non-controlling interest units of THG and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with the dilutive effect calculated using the more dilutive of the If-Converted Method and the Two-Class Method.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

16 — Share-Based Compensation

The Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to approximately 38.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock to employees and non-employee directors. The 2021 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units. As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 29.0 million shares available for future grants under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.

Share-based compensation expense related to employees is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Salaries and benefits" and, to a much lesser extent, when applicable, "Restructuring, impairment and related charges, net." Share-based compensation expense related to non-employee directors is recognized within "General and administrative services." The Company recognizes forfeitures of share-based compensation awards in the period in which they occur.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Restricted Stock Units

RSU grants typically vest over atwo tofive-year period. The grant date fair value is determined based on the closing market price of the Class A Common Stock on the business day prior to the grant date. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $7.80. There wereno RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The tax impact related to vested RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements due to the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG.

Unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs as of March 31, 2024 was $27.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 3.38 years.

The following table provides a summary of the RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Performance Restricted Stock Units

Market Condition Award

In April 2022, the CEO was granted 3,707,136 performance-based RSUs ("PRSUs"), which provide him the opportunity to receive up to 3,707,136 shares of Class A Common Stock. The award had a grant date fair value of approximately $19.2 million, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The PRSUs have both market-based and service-based vesting conditions. Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under this award can be earned based on the achievement of the following stock price targets: (i)25% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $20.00 per share for 60 consecutive days, (ii)25% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $25.00 per share for 60 consecutive days, and (iii)50% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $30.00 per share for 60 consecutive days. These market-based conditions must be met in order for these performance-based RSUs to vest, and it is therefore possible that no shares will ultimately vest. If the market-based conditions are met, shares of Class A Common Stock earned will vest over the earlier ofthree years after achievement of the stock price target or the end of theseven-year performance period. The Company will recognize the entire $19.2 million of compensation expense for this award over the requisite service period, regardless of whether such market-based conditions are met. As of March 31, 2024, no PRSUs granted under this plan had vested.

The following table summarizes the assumptions and related information used to determine the grant-date fair value of PRSUs awarded in April 2022:

Performance Condition Awards

On March 29, 2024, the Talent, Culture, and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors adopted a new form of Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the "2024 PRSU Agreement") to be used for awards of PRSUs to certain employees under the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.

PRSUs granted under the 2024 PRSU Agreement will be eligible to vest subject to the satisfaction of both performance-based and time-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting condition will be satisfied contingent upon the Company's level of performance over the designated performance period (the "Performance Period") as measured against the target performance goals for the Performance Period (the "Performance Target"), each as determined by the Compensation Committee. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee will determine the applicable attained performance levels with payout percentages ranging from 35% to 200% (each, a "Payout Percentage") of the target number of PRSUs awarded. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2024 PRSU Agreement) before the end of a scheduled Performance Period, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to end the Performance Period early and measure performance levels as of a revised measurement date.

When both the time-based and performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied, the PRSU holder will be entitled to receive that number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, if any, determined by multiplying the aggregate number of PRSUs subject to the applicable PRSU Agreement by the applicable Payout Percentage that corresponds to the level of achievement of the performance goals pursuant to the payout formula approved by the Compensation Committee.

The amount of compensation expense recognized for PRSUs issued under the 2024 PRSU Agreement will be dependent upon management's assessment of the likelihood of achieving the applicable payout levels. If, as a result of management's assessment, it is projected that a greater number of PRSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to increase compensation expense is recorded in the period such determination is made. Conversely, if, as a result of management's assessment, it is projected that a lower number of PRSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to decrease compensation expense is recorded in the period such determination is made.

As of March 31, 2024, no PRSUs had been issued under the 2024 PRSU Agreement.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") allows substantially all of the Company's employees to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. The ESPP allows purchases of Class A Common Stock to be madeat a discount of up to 15% and for the purchase price to occur at the lesser of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on (i) the offering date and (ii) the applicable purchase date. The Company's two previous offering periods offered discounts of 10% and 5%. Employees are allowed to terminate their participation in the ESPP at any time during the purchase period prior to the purchase of shares. As of March 31, 2024,197,819 shares had been purchased under the ESPP and there were approximately 11.3 million shares available for future purchases.

17 — Taxation

United States — With the exception of certain U.S. corporate and foreign subsidiaries, THG is taxed as a pass-through ownership structure under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and a similar section of state income tax law. As such, any taxable income or loss generated by THG is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of THG unit holders, including Hagerty, Inc. Hagerty, Inc. is taxed as a corporation under the IRC and pays corporate, federal, state, and local taxes with respect to income allocated from THG. Hagerty, Inc., Hagerty Re, Broad Arrow, Hagerty Radwood, Inc., and various foreign subsidiaries are treated as taxable entities and income taxes are provided where applicable.

The Company has a TRA with the Legacy Unit Holders that requires the Company to pay 85% of the tax savings that are realized as a result of increases in the tax basis in THG's assets as a result of an exchange of THG units and Class V Common Stock for Class A Common Stock or cash. See "Tax Receivable Agreement Liability" below for additional information.

Canada —Hagerty's Canadian entities are taxed as non-resident corporations and subject to income tax in Canada under provisions of the Canadian Revenue Agency.

United Kingdom —Hagerty's U.K. entities are taxed as corporations and subject to income tax in the U.K. under provisions of HM Revenue & Customs.

Bermuda —Hagerty Re made an irrevocable election under Section 953(d) of the U.S. IRC, as amended, to be taxed as a U.S. domestic corporation. As a result, Hagerty Re is subject to U.S. taxation on its world-wide income as if it were a U.S. corporation. In accordance with an agreement between Hagerty Re and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS'), Hagerty Re established an irrevocable letter of credit with the IRS in 2021.

Tax Legislation —The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as "Pillar 2"), with certain aspects of Pillar 2 effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects effective January 1, 2025. While its uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. The Company is still assessing the impact of Pillar 2.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) —Income tax expense (benefit) reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements differs from the tax computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal rate of 21% to "Income (loss) before income tax expense" as follows:

Three months ended March 31,

Income tax expense$5,12939%$3,668(32)%

Deferred Tax Assets — As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has deferred tax assets of $144.0 million and $146.0 million, respectively, related to the difference between the outside tax basis and book basis of its investment in the assets of THG. The Company's deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management believes it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After considering all positive and negative evidence of taxable income in the carryback and carryforward periods, as permitted by law, the Company believes it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets, including the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG, will not be realized. As a result, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $169.2 million and $169.6 million against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In the event that management subsequently determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets in the future over the recorded amount, a decrease to the valuation allowance will be made, which will reduce the provision for income taxes.

Tax Examinations —The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as many state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2024, tax years 2020 to 2023 are subject to examination by various tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of March 31, 2024, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations for years before 2020. THG is currently under audit by the IRS for the 2021 tax year.

The Canadian Revenue Agency examination of the Company for the 2018 tax year was closed as of March 31, 2024 with no changes to previously filed tax returns.

Uncertain Tax Positions —The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.

The Company records uncertain tax benefits ("UTB") as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when management's conclusion changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the UTB liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and had no material accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. If recorded, interest and penalties would be recorded within "Income tax expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Tax Receivable Agreement Liability —The TRA provides for payment to the Legacy Unit Holders of 85% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by Hagerty, Inc. as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits as outlined in the Business Combination Agreement (provided as Exhibit 2.1, incorporated by reference within Item 6. Exhibits, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) upon the exchange of THG units and Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock for Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock or cash. THG made an election under Section 754 of the IRC with the filing of its 2019 income tax return, which cannot be revoked without the permission of the IRS Commissioner and will be in place for any future exchange of THG units. The remaining 15% cash tax savings resulting from the basis adjustments will be retained by Hagerty, Inc.

The amount and timing of any payments under the TRA will vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the increase in tax basis of THG's assets, the timing of any future redemptions, exchanges or purchases of THG units held by Legacy Unit Holders, the price of Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock at the time of the purchase, redemption, or exchange, the extent to which redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income that Hagerty, Inc. generates in the future, the tax rates then applicable and the portion of the payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. The estimated value of the TRA recorded by the Company within "Other long-term liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which was limited by the ability to currently utilize tax benefits.

In general, cash tax savings result in a year when the tax liability of Hagerty, Inc. for the year, computed without regard to the deductions attributable to the amortization of the basis increase and other deductions that arise in connection with the payment of the cash consideration under the TRA or the exchange of THG units and Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock for Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock, would be more than the tax liability for the year taking into account such deductions. Payments under the TRA will not be due until the Company produces taxable income and the resulting cash tax liability is reduced by deducting the amortization of the basis increase on a filed tax return. The payments under the TRA are expected to be substantial.

18 — Related-Party Transactions

Other Related Party Transactions

From time-to-time, in the ordinary course of business, related parties, such as members of the Board of Directors and management, purchase insurance policies from the Company, receive payments on claims required by the Company's insurance policies, and buy and sell collector cars through Marketplace auctions or in private transactions.

19 — Commitments and Contingencies

Employee Compensation Agreements —In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company enters into certain employee compensation agreements from time to time which commit the Company to severance obligations in the event an employee terminates employment with the Company. If applicable, these obligations are included in the accrued expenses lines of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Litigation —From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to these legal contingencies, as well as potential ranges of probable or reasonably possible losses. The determination of the amount of any losses to be recorded or disclosed as a result of these contingencies is based on a careful analysis of each individual exposure with, in some cases, the assistance of outside legal counsel. The amount of losses recorded or disclosed for such contingencies may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or a change in legal or settlement strategy. While the impact of any one or more legal claims or proceedings could be material to the Company's operating results in any period, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these pending claims or proceedings (including the data security incident discussed below), individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Data Security Incident —In 2021, the Company experienced an unauthorized access into its online insurance quote feature whereby attackers used personal information already in their possession to obtain additional consumer data, including driver’s license numbers. The unauthorized access issue has been remediated. This incident is the subject of coordinated industry-wide regulatory investigations in New York state. The Company could be subject to litigation, fines and/or penalties related to this incident. In 2023, the Company accrued an estimated liability related to this incident based on the facts known by management and developed through its assessment of the current status of ongoing dialog with the regulatory investigators. The amount of the estimated liability is not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The amount of any fines, penalties, and/or settlements related to this incident could differ from the amount currently accrued and such difference is not currently estimable.

20 — Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 7, 2024, which is the date these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and no material subsequent events were identified that are required to be reported.
