 company will cede up to 100% of underwriting risk in exchange for a ceding fee based on gross premiums written. In addition, AmTrust will provide additional services in relation to the AmTrust Insurance Companies pursuant to a management agreement with Kestrel Insurance Agency, including compliance, data reporting, data flow and information technology systems. As a result, the combined company will rely on its strategic partnership with AmTrust, and any inability to maintain such relationship with AmTrust or to exercise the option to acquire the AmTrust Insurance Companies from AmTrust would materially adversely affect its business. These contractual arrangements may terminate or be terminated under certain circumstances, and there can be no assurance that this strategic relationship will continue in the future, including on the same or similar terms, and if not, that the combined company would be able to find a suitable replacement or another strategic partnership on favorable terms, if at all. If the combined company was not able to find other insurance carriers with similar financial strength ratings with which it could partner, its ability to write new and renewal business would be significantly impacted.

The combined company’s business, and therefore its results of operations and financial condition, may be adversely affected by conditions that result in reduced insurer capacity.

The combined company’s results of operations depend on the continued capacity of the AmTrust Insurance Companies to adequately and appropriately underwrite risk and provide coverage. Capacity could be reduced by the AmTrust Insurance Companies failing or withdrawing from writing certain coverages that the combined company will offer and it will have limited control over these matters. In addition, to the extent that reinsurance becomes significantly more expensive, the combined company may experience restrictions and limitations on its ability to continue to write the amount or types of business it anticipated, which could have a negative impact on its ability to generate fee revenue.

A decline in the financial strength rating or financial size category of the combined company’s fronting companies may adversely affect the combined company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Each of the combined company’s fronting companies has an “A-” (Excellent) financial strength rating and a XV financial size category from A.M. Best. A downgrade or withdrawal of the financial strength
