As of September 30, 2025, Fortegra was owned approximately 78.9% by Tiptree Holdings, 17.6% by Warburg and 3.5% by management and directors of Fortegra, before giving effect to the exercise of outstanding warrants and management options, and the conversion of outstanding preferred stock. See Note (15) Stockholders' Equity for additional information.

On September 26, 2025, Tiptree entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with DB Insurance Co., Ltd., incorporated and existing under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Purchaser”), and Fortegra, a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Tiptree. A subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”) to be incorporated in Delaware following the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the closing of the merger (the “Closing”) will, upon its formation, execute a joinder to the Merger Agreement and thereby become a party thereto.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will acquire Fortegra for a purchase price of $1.65 billion in cash (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement) and Merger Sub will merge with and into Fortegra, with Fortegra being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and as a result of which Purchaser shall be the sole stockholder of Fortegra. The purchase price will be reduced by certain categories of payments made by Fortegra after June 30, 2025 and at or prior to the Closing (“Leakage”), except for certain categories of agreed permitted Leakage (“Permitted Leakage”). Leakage includes payments for, among other categories, specified transaction expenses, certain dividends or distributions to related parties, payments to related parties for equity or securities redemptions, returns of capital, and other specified categories of payments or liabilities. Permitted Leakage includes payments reserved for in the financial statements of Fortegra, requested or consented to by Purchaser, and other specified categories of payments or liabilities. Purchaser’s recovery for Leakage that is not adjusted for at the Closing is limited to a leakage reserve holdback account. If the Closing has not occurred on or before June 1, 2026, the $1.65 billion purchase price will be increased by a profit sharing fee which shall accrue on such price from June 1, 2026 through the Closing at a rate of 10% per annum.
