“Company Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, effect, change, event, circumstance, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that in no event shall any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, nor be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (a) changes within or affecting the general property and casualty insurance industry, the United States or global economy, or changes within or affecting global or United States economic or capital market conditions (including changes in the credit, debt, financial, or currency markets), (b) changes in or adoption of any applicable Laws or applicable accounting regulations or principles or interpretations thereof (including changes in GAAP or in SAP prescribed or permitted by the applicable Insurance Regulators and accounting pronouncements by the SEC, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the Financial Accounting Standards Board), (c) changes in global or national political conditions (including political action or inaction, the outbreak or escalation of war, military action, insurrection, sabotage or acts of terrorism), (d) changes due to any acts of God, natural disasters, man-made disasters, disease outbreak, global public health emergency (as declared by the World Health Organization), epidemics or pandemics (including COVID-19 and any worsening thereof or any COVID-19 Measures), (e) change, event, effect, development or circumstance arising out of the announcement of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or the pendency of the Merger or the identity of the parties to this Agreement, including any termination of, reduction in or similar negative impact on relationships, contractual or otherwise, with any Governmental Authorities or any customers, suppliers, reinsurers, agents, policyholders, partners, officers or employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that this clause (e) shall not apply with respect to the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 4.05 of this Agreement, (f) actions taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or waiver under applicable Law in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (g) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including compliance with the covenants set forth herein, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company at the express written request or with the prior written consent of Parent or Merger Sub, (h) the effects of any breach, violation or non- performance of any provision of this Agreement by Parent or any of its Affiliates, (i) any initiated or threatened Action against the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors or officers arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (j) any failure in and of itself (but not the underlying cause thereof) by the Company to meet any published analyst estimates or expectations of the Company’s revenues, premiums written, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period or any failure in and of itself (but not the underlying cause thereof) by the Company to meet its internal or published projections, budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, premiums written, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations or any change in the price or trading volume of the Company Common Shares, (k) changes in the value of the investment assets owned by a Company Insurance Subsidiary (but not the underlying cause thereof) or (l) changes or developments in and of itself (but not the underlying cause thereof) in the credit, financial strength or other rating of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or its outstanding debt, (m) any effect, change, event, occurrence or circumstance arising out of, resulting from or related to the matters described in Section 1.01A of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided, further, however, that any effect, change, event or occurrence referred to in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) may be taken into account in determining whether or not there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect to the extent such effect, change, event or occurrence has a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other participants operating in the industries and geographies in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate (in which case the incremental disproportionate effect or effects may be taken into account in determining whether or not a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred).
