## Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 29, 2026, Palomar Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") updated its corporate presentation that it uses for presentations at conferences and to analysts, current stockholders, and others. A copy of the Company's presentation that it intends to use at such events is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On May 29, 2026, Palomar Holdings Inc. ("Palomar" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing the successful completion of certain reinsurance programs incepting June 1, 2026, and increased the Company's full year 2026 adjusted net income guidance. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has procured approximately $421 million of incremental limit to support the growth of its Earthquake franchise. The Company's reinsurance coverage now exhausts at $3.92 billion for earthquake events and $135 million for continental United States hurricane events. The reinsurance program provides ample capacity for the Company's growth in the subject business lines as well as coverage to a level exceeding Palomar's 1:250-year peak zone Probable Maximum Loss ("PML").

The Company's per occurrence catastrophe event retention will remain at $11 million for hurricane events and $20 million for earthquake events, levels that are meaningfully within management's previously stated guideposts of less than one quarter's adjusted net income and less than 5% of stockholders' equity.

Of note, $360 million of the $3.92 billion earthquake limit was sourced through a new catastrophe bond, Torrey Pines Re Series 2026-1. The new catastrophe bond issuance is the seventh Insurance Linked Securities ("ILS") transaction Palomar has sponsored.

Effective June 1, 2026, the Company also renewed its standalone excess of loss ("XOL") treaty supporting the Hawaii hurricane policies issued by Laulima Exchange ("Laulima"). Laulima's XOL reinsurance program consists of per occurrence coverage up to $865 million, representing a $130 million increase year-over-year, including $50 million sourced through the Torrey Pines Re platform. The program's per-occurrence event retention remained unchanged at $1.5 million.

Other highlights of the Company's reinsurance program include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Issued seventh Torrey Pines Re catastrophe bond securing $410 million of protection, a total of $1.28 billion of multi-year ILS capacity providing diversifying collateralized reinsurance capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A reinsurance panel of over 100 reinsurers and ILS investors, including multiple new reinsurers, all of which have an "A-" (Excellent) or better financial strength rating from A.M. Best and/or S&P (Standard & Poor's) or are fully collateralized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Prepaid reinstatements across substantially all layers that have a reinstatement provision with only modest additional reinsurance premium due in certain multiple event scenarios.

These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, future results of operations; financial position; the impact of the ongoing and global COVID-19 pandemic; general economic, political and other risks, including currency and stock market fluctuations and uncertain economic environment; the volatility of the trading price of our common stock; and our expectations about market trends.

Modeling and Seasonality Near-term ratios reflect business mix and gray integration; full-year guidance remains on track Acquisition expense continues to trend higher Acquisition expense ratio was 14.0% in Q1 2026, compared to 12.3% in Q1 2025 and 13.0% in Q4 2025. Sequential increase reflects growth in Casualty and Crop business mix. For the year, we expect this ratio to be slightly lower than last year's 12.1%, higher the first half of the year with a low point in Q3 due to seasonal peak in earned premium Adjusted UW expense will continue to increase with growth in investments across the organization Adjusted underwriting expense ratio was 8.5% in Q1 2026, compared to 7.5% in Q1 2025 and 8.1% in Q4 2025. For the year, we expect the adjusted UW expense ratio to be around 8%, reflecting ongoing investments under Palomar 2X. Higher the first half of the year with the seasonal high point in Q2 and a dip expected in Q3 due to seasonal peak in earned premium. While not shown, loss ratio trending as expected despite seasonality Loss ratio for Q1 2026 was 33.3%, including catastrophe and attritional losses tied to growth in Casualty and Crop. We expect the loss ratio to continue to increase in Q2 and Q3 For the year, we expect the loss ratio to be in the mid to upper thirties, with a seasonal spike in Q3 due to Crop timing.

**Palomar Holdings, Inc. Announces Successful Completion of June 1 Reinsurance Placement**

~ Full Year 2026 Adjusted Net Income Guidance Increased to $266 Million to $280 Million ~

LA JOLLA, Calif., May 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Palomar Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLMR) ("Palomar" or the "Company") today announced the successful completion of certain reinsurance programs incepting June 1, 2026, and increased the Company's full year 2026 adjusted net income guidance.

The Company has procured approximately $421 million of incremental limit to support the growth of its Earthquake franchise. Palomar's reinsurance coverage now extends to $3.92 billion for earthquake events and $135 million for continental United States hurricane events.

Palomar's per occurrence event retentions will remain at $11 million for hurricane events and $20 million for earthquake events, levels that are meaningfully within management's previously stated guideposts of less than one quarter's adjusted net income and less than 5% of stockholders' equity.

The reinsurance program continues to provide ample capacity for the Company's growth in the subject business lines as well as coverage to a level exceeding Palomar's 1:250-year peak zone Probable Maximum Loss. Of note, $360 million of the $3.92 billion earthquake limit was sourced through Palomar's seventh Torrey Pines Re catastrophe bond issuance, priced at the lower end of the indicated range.

Palomar also renewed its standalone reinsurance treaty supporting the Hawaii hurricane policies issued by Laulima Exchange. The renewed program provides Laulima with up to $865 million of per-occurrence coverage, representing a $130 million increase year-over-year, including $50 million sourced through the Torrey Pines Re platform. The placement marked the first inclusion of a standalone Hawaii Hurricane tranche within Torrey Pines Re, further diversifying Palomar's sources of reinsurance capacity. The program's per-occurrence event retention remained unchanged at $1.5 million.

"We are very pleased with the outcome of our June 1 reinsurance placement and remain grateful for the support of our broad and diversified reinsurance panel," commented Mac Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Palomar. "We added meaningful incremental limit to support growth, maintain event retentions at levels consistent with the expiring treaty despite significant earnings and exposure growth, and expanding the role of collateralized reinsurance through another Torrey Pines Re catastrophe bond issuance. Importantly, we achieved these objectives at attractive economics which well-positions Palomar to deliver profitable growth and attractive returns for shareholders. As a result, we are increasing our full-year 2026 adjusted net income guidance range to $266 million to $280 million from the previously indicated range of $262 million to $278 million."

Other highlights of the Company's reinsurance program include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Issued seventh Torrey Pines Re catastrophe bond securing $410M of protection, a total of $1.28 billion of multi-year ILS capacity providing diversifying collateralized reinsurance capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A reinsurance panel of over 100 reinsurers and ILS investors, including multiple new reinsurers, all of which have an "A-" (Excellent) or better financial strength rating from A.M. Best and/or S&P (Standard & Poor's) or are fully collateralized;<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Prepaid reinstatements across substantially all layers that have a reinstatement provision with only modest additional reinsurance premium due in certain multiple event scenarios.

Palomar's Chief Risk Officer, Jon Knutzen, added, "This June 1 renewal further strengthens Palomar's ability to manage peak catastrophe volatility while supporting continued profitable growth. The combination of incremental limit for our peak peril zones and expanded ILS capacity improves both the efficiency and diversification of our overall reinsurance program. We appreciate the continued support from our global reinsurance partners and believe this placement positions the Company favorably from both a capital management and earnings stability perspective."
