 provider may reinsure a single book or multiple books with various general agents. A single general agent may control a single book with one capacity provider or multiple books with various capacity providers.

Other insurance companies compete with Kestrel Group for this business. These capacity providers and general agents may choose to enter into fronting arrangements with such competitors, and the general agents or capacity providers may terminate fronting arrangements with Kestrel Group if they no longer need access to its fronting capacity. Relationships with clients, including general agents and capacity providers, are generally governed by agreements that may be terminated on relatively short notice.

Any such limitations or restrictions could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results
