 this proxy statement by reference. You should read the entire Merger Agreement carefully as it is the legal document that governs the Merger.

#### General Description of the Merger
On September 26, 2025, Tiptree entered into the Merger Agreement with Fortegra and Purchaser. Merger Sub will, upon its formation, execute a joinder to the Merger Agreement and thereby become a party thereto. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the DGCL, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Fortegra, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Fortegra will continue as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, the surviving corporation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser. Throughout this proxy statement, we use the term “surviving corporation” to refer to Fortegra as the surviving corporation following the Merger. If the Merger is completed, Tiptree will not own any shares of the surviving corporation.

The Merger may constitute a “transfer of assets” under Section 3-105 of the MGCL, and we are therefore seeking the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by our stockholders. The closing of the Merger is conditioned on, among other things, Tiptree obtaining the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Tiptree common stock entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The closing will take place on (a) the last business day of the month in which the Condition Satisfaction occurs; provided, that if the Condition Satisfaction occurs less than five business days prior to the last business day of such month, the closing will occur on the last business day of the month immediately following the month in which the Condition Satisfaction occurs, or (b) such other date or at such other time or place as the parties to the Merger Agreement may mutually agree.

Following the completion of the Merger, Tiptree expects to continue to own the Retained Business. Tiptree expects to maintain the same corporate functions and the same senior executives as Tiptree had prior to the completion of the Merger and the same board of directors that is in place as of the date of this proxy statement.
