Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), Risk Factors and the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), as well as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based on forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” “plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” “may,” “could” and other terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.
Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, Kemper cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. Kemper bases these statements on current expectations and the current economic environment as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties that may be important in determining the Company’s actual future results and financial condition.
In addition to the factors discussed under Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of Part I of Kemper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), the reader should consider the following list of factors that, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition.
Factors related to the legal and regulatory environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate
•Evolving policies, practices and interpretations by regulators and courts that increase operating costs and potential liabilities, particularly any that involve retroactive application of new requirements;
•Adverse outcomes in litigation, investigations or other legal or regulatory proceedings involving Kemper or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including proceedings related to its business practices or business practices in the insurance industry;
•Governmental actions, including, but not limited to, implementation of new laws and regulations, and court decisions interpreting existing and future laws and regulations or policy provisions;
•Uncertainties related to regulatory approval of insurance rates, policy forms, insurance products, license applications, business withdrawals, dividends from insurance subsidiaries, reinsurance arrangements, acquisitions of businesses or strategic initiatives and other matters within the purview of insurance regulators;
•Increased costs required to address new legal and regulatory requirements; liabilities, costs and other impacts arising from investigations or developments related to cybersecurity, privacy and data governance, including, without limitation, cyber incidents that have occurred or may occur;
Factors relating to insurance claims and related reserves in the Company’s insurance businesses
•The incidence, frequency and severity of catastrophes occurring in any particular reporting period or geographic area, including natural disasters, pandemics and terrorist attacks or other man-made events;
•The frequency and severity of insurance claims (including those associated with catastrophe losses and pandemics);
•The interest rate environment, including recently enacted and proposed rate changes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which may cause material fluctuations in our life policyholder benefit reserves;
•Changes in facts and circumstances affecting assumptions used in determining loss and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) reserves, including, but not limited to, the frequency and severity of insurance claims, changes in claims handling procedures and closure patterns, development patterns and the impacts of technological and other environmental conditions;
•The impact of inflation on insurance claims, including, but not limited to, the effects on material costs, the effects on personal injury claims of increasing medical costs and the effects on severity of claims resulting from a catastrophe;
•The effects on property claims attributed to supply chain disruption, in part potentially as a result of the impact of tariffs and scarcity of resources available to rebuild damaged structures and repair damaged property, including labor and materials and the amount of salvage value recovered for damaged property;
•The rising costs of insurance claims from increased and more targeted litigation, higher jury awards, broader definitions of liability, and other effects of legal and societal trends referred to as legal system abuse or social inflation;
•Developments related to insurance policy claims and coverage issues, including, but not limited to, interpretations, pronouncements or decisions by courts or regulators that may govern or influence losses incurred in connection with hurricanes and other catastrophes;
•Orders, interpretations or other actions by regulators that impact the reporting, adjustment and payment of claims;
•Changes in the pricing or availability of reinsurance, or in the financial condition of reinsurers and amounts recoverable therefrom;
Factors related to the Company’s ability to compete
•Changes in the ratings of Kemper and/or its insurance company subsidiaries by rating agencies with regard to credit, financial strength, claims paying ability and other areas on which the Company is rated;
•The level of success and costs incurred in realizing or maintaining economies of scale, integrating acquired businesses and implementing significant business initiatives and the timing of the occurrence or completion of such events, including, but not limited to, those related to expense and claims savings, the operation of Kemper Reciprocal, consolidations, reorganizations and technology;
•Absolute and relative performance of the Company’s products and services, including, but not limited to, the level of success achieved in designing and introducing new insurance products and services;
•Difficulties with technology, data and network security (including as a result of cyber attacks that have occurred or may occur), outsourcing relationships or cloud-based technology that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to conduct business;
•The ability of the Company and its third-party service providers to maintain the availability and required performance of critical systems and manage technology initiatives cost-effectively to address insurance industry developments and regulatory requirements;
•Heightened competition, including, with respect to pricing, consolidations of existing competitors or entry of new competitors and alternate distribution channels, introduction of new technologies, use and enhancements of telematics, refinements of existing products and development of new products by current or future competitors;
•Expected benefits and synergies from mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and/or strategic initiatives that may not be realized to the extent anticipated, within expected time frames or at all, due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the loss of key agents/brokers, customers or employees, increased costs, fees, expenses and related charges and delays caused by unanticipated developments or factors outside of the Company’s control;
•The successful formulation and execution of the Company’s plan with regard to corporate strategy and significant operational changes;
•Increase in competition as a result of new competitors to the property and casualty insurance industry or existence of competitors that receive substantial infusion of capital or access to third-party capital;
Factors related to the business environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate
•Changes in general economic conditions, including those related to, without limitation, performance of financial markets, increased volatilities in market conditions, interest rates, inflation, unemployment rates, significant global catastrophes and/or pandemics, tariffs and international trade policies, such as the implementation of tariffs recently imposed by the US government pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and fluctuating values of particular investments held by the Company;
•Absolute and relative performance of investments made by the Company;
•Changes in insurance industry trends and significant industry developments;
•Changes in consumer trends, including changes in number of miles driven by automobile insurance policyholders, and significant consumer or product developments;
•Changes in capital requirements, including the calculations thereof, used by regulators and rating agencies;
•Regulatory, accounting or tax changes that may affect the Company’s earnings, the cost of, or demand for, the Company’s products or services or after-tax returns from the Company’s investments;
•The impact of required participation in state windpools and joint underwriting associations, residual market assessments and assessments for insurance industry insolvencies;
•Changes in distribution channels, methods or costs resulting from changes in laws or regulations, legal proceedings or market forces;
•Increasing competition and higher costs for executive talent and employees with necessary skills and industry experience;
•Increased costs and risks related to cybersecurity that could materially affect the Company’s operations including, but not limited to, data breaches, cyber attacks, virus or malware attacks, or other infiltrations or incidents affecting system integrity, availability and performance, and actions taken to minimize and remediate the risks of such events that have occurred or could occur;
Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Kemper’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
Kemper cannot provide any assurances that the results and outcomes contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable or that future events or developments will not cause such statements to be inaccurate.

KEMPER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries which include property and casualty insurance subsidiaries, life insurance subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of Kemper Corporation, its subsidiaries, and a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain financial information that is included in the annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements requires significant management estimates. Due to this factor and other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, annualizing the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Kemper’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Adoption of New Accounting Guidance
The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to October 1, 2025. There were no adoptions of such accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that had a material impact on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but does not anticipate the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to use consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the tax rate reconciliation as well as requiring disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires companies to disclose, within the financial statement footnotes, the amount of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities that contribute to each income statement expense line item, as well as the amount of selling expenses incurred during each reporting period. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which replaces the existing project stage model with a principles-based approach. Software costs are capitalized when management commits funding, and it is probable the project will be completed and used as intended.
KEMPER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies (Continued)
ASU 2025-06 also aligns disclosure requirements with those for property, plant, and equipment, eliminates separate intangible asset disclosures, and supersedes guidance on website development costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 - Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of Basic Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented below.

Note 3 - Business Segments
The Company is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the property and casualty insurance and life and health insurance businesses. The Company conducts its operations through two operating segments: Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance and Life Insurance.
The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s principal products are specialty personal automobile and commercial automobile insurance. These products are distributed primarily through independent agents and brokers. The Life Insurance segment’s principal products are individual life, accident, supplemental health and property insurance. Career agents employed by the Company distribute these products. Corporate and Other operations include interest expense, board of directors’ fees, and general corporate expenses incurred by the Company which are not allocated to other businesses. Non-Core Operations includes the results of the Preferred Insurance business which the Company expects to fully exit.
Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income
The Company analyzes the operating performance of each segment using segment adjusted net operating income. Segment adjusted net operating income does not equate to “net (loss) income” as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and consistent with authoritative guidance, is the measure of segment performance presented below. Segment adjusted net operating income is calculated by adjusting each segment’s income after income taxes for the following items:
(i) Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities;
(ii) Net Realized Investment Gains;
(iii) Impairment Losses;
(iv) Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs;
(v) Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges;
(vi) Goodwill Impairment Charges;
(vii) Non-Core Operations; and
(viii) Significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations
These items are important to an understanding of overall results of operations. Segment adjusted net operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s definition of segment adjusted net operating income may differ from that used by other companies. The Company, however, believes that the presentation of segment adjusted net operating income, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability factors of its businesses.

Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends may differ from these historical experience patterns and economic conditions. Loss experience and loss trends emerge over several years from the dates of loss inception. The Company monitors such emerging loss trends on a quarterly basis. Changes in such estimates are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income in the period of change. Additionally, the Company reviews if any premium revisions are appropriate as a result of any incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) related to prior years recorded in the current period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no additional premiums or return premiums were recorded.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the net adverse prior year development of $66.2 million included $67.5 million of adverse development on prior accident years attributable to evolving loss patterns and higher defense costs associated with attorney-represented bodily injury coverages in the Commercial Automobile product line.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the net adverse prior year development of $27.4 million included $22.1 million of adverse development within Non-Core Operations due primarily to higher than expected loss emergence related to homeowners, umbrella, and bodily injury coverages. In addition, the Company experienced adverse development of $5.1 million within the Specialty Personal Automobile product line, primarily driven by higher than expected settlements for extra-contractual demands related to prior year claims.
The Company cannot predict whether loss and LAE reserves will develop favorably or unfavorably from the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that any such development will not have a material effect on the Company’s Shareholders’ Equity, but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.
Note 5 - Liability for Future Policyholder Benefits
The Company’s Life Insurance Reserves are reported using the Company’s estimate of its liability for future policyholder benefits. The liability for future policyholder benefits is grouped by contract type and issue year into cohorts consistent with the grouping used in estimating the associated liability. Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the liability for future policyholder benefits include mortality, lapses, and discount rates (both accretion and current).

Investments in Equity Securities at Modified Cost were $22.2 million and $22.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company performs a qualitative impairment analysis on a quarterly basis consisting of various factors such as earnings performance, current market conditions, changes in credit ratings, changes in the regulatory environment and other factors. If the qualitative analysis identifies the presence of impairment indicators, the Company estimates the fair value of the investment. If the estimated fair value is below the carrying value, the Company records an impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. When the Company identifies observable transactions of the same or similar securities to those held by the Company, the Company increases or decreases the carrying value to the observable transaction price. The Company did not recognize any changes in carrying value due to observable transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company did not recognize any impairment on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the Company’s impairment analysis. The Company recognized an impairment of $0.4 million on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for nine months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of the Company’s impairment analysis. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recognized no cumulative increases or decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions and $3.2 million of cumulative impairments on Equity Securities at Modified Cost.
Alternative Energy Partnership Investments include partnerships formed to invest in newly installed residential solar leases and power purchase agreements. As a result of this investment, the Company has the right to certain investment tax credits and tax depreciation benefits, and to a lesser extent, cash flows generated from the installed solar systems leased to individual consumers for a fixed period of time. The Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value (“HLBV”) equity method of accounting is used for the Company’s investments in Alternative Energy Partnership Investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss at September 30, 2025 is limited to the total carrying value of $17.4 million. The Company has no outstanding commitments to fund Alternative Energy Partnership Investments as of September 30, 2025. Alternative Energy Partnership Investments are reported on a three-month lag.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Note 7 - Derivatives
The Company’s earnings, cash flows, and financial position are subject to fluctuations due to changes in prevailing interest rates.
The Company entered into derivative agreements with maturity dates throughout 2025. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments in a gain position are presented within Other Investments and those in a loss position are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. Changes in the fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income within Net Realized Investment Gains. Changes in the fair values of derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss along with the corresponding change in the designated hedge assets.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s debt securities valuations utilize the Treasury designated benchmark rate, exposing the Company to variability due to changes in interest rates.
Ultra-Long Treasury Futures
The Company enters into exchange-traded ultra-long Treasury futures (“Treasury Futures”) in order to manage exposure to upcoming changes in the benchmark (Treasury) interest rate of forecasted transactions. These derivatives expire quarterly. As of September 30, 2025, all Treasury Futures held by the Company qualified for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge. The Company utilizes a rollover hedging strategy that involves continuously establishing short-term derivatives in consecutive contract months to hedge the underlying risk exposure. Under this strategy, the complete set of derivatives are not acquired at hedge inception; rather, short-term derivatives are acquired throughout the hedging period such that maturing derivatives are replaced with new short-term derivatives.
The following table presents the Company’s Ultra-Long Treasury Futures derivatives, primary underlying risk exposure, gross notional amount, and estimated fair value of these derivatives:

Note 7 - Derivatives (Continued)
Treasury Locks
During the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2022, in anticipation of debt issuances shortly thereafter and for risk management purposes, the Company entered into derivative transactions (the “2016 Treasury Lock” and “2022 Treasury Lock,” together the “Treasury Locks”) to hedge the risk of changes in the debt cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark U.S. Treasury interest rate during the period leading up to the debt issuance.
The Treasury Locks have no remaining gross notional amount or fair value as the hedging relationships have been previously discontinued with the issuance of the associated debt (Senior Notes due February 15, 2025 for the 2016 Treasury Lock and Senior Notes due February 23, 2032 for the 2022 Treasury Lock). The effective portion of the gain or loss before taxes on the derivative instruments upon discontinuance was a $4.5 million loss for the 2016 Treasury Lock and a $5.9 million gain on the 2022 Treasury Lock. The gain or loss upon discontinuance is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Beginning with the issuance of the associated debt, such gain or loss is amortized into earnings and reported in Interest Expense in the same periods that the hedged items affect earnings.
During the first quarter of 2025, in conjunction with the redemption of the Senior Notes due February 15, 2025, the Company amortized the remaining $0.1 million of pre-tax derivative loss on the 2016 Treasury Lock into earnings. Pre-tax amortization on the 2022 Treasury Lock was $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining amount of pre-tax derivative gain on the 2022 Treasury Lock within AOCI to be amortized into earnings was $3.8 million.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company classifies its Investments in Fixed Maturities as available-for-sale and reports these investments at fair value. The Company reports equity investments with readily determinable fair values as Equity Securities at Fair Value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value (“NAV”) practical expedient are not required to be classified using the fair value hierarchy, but are presented in the following two tables to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value in Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2025 is summarized below. The Company had no material liabilities that are measured and reported at fair values.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
The Company’s Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges that are classified as Level 2 primarily consist of hedges to manage exposure to upcoming changes in the benchmark (Treasury) interest rate of forecasted transactions. The Company uses a leading, nationally recognized provider of market data and analytics to price the vast majority of the Company’s Level 2 measurements. The provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. Because many fixed maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, the provider’s evaluated pricing applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. In addition, the provider uses model processes to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The pricing provider’s models and processes also take into account market convention. For each asset class, teams of its evaluators gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The Company generally validates the measurements obtained from its primary pricing provider by comparing them with measurements obtained from one additional pricing provider that provides either prices from recent market transactions, quotes in inactive markets or evaluations based on its own proprietary models.
The Company investigates significant differences related to the values provided. On completion of its investigation, management exercises judgment to determine the price selected and whether adjustments, if any, to the price obtained from the Company’s primary pricing provider would warrant classification of the price as Level 3. In instances where a measurement cannot be obtained from either pricing provider, the Company generally will evaluate bid prices from one or more binding quotes obtained from market makers to value investments in inactive markets and classified by the Company as Level 2. The Company generally classifies securities when it receives non-binding quotes or indications as Level 3 securities unless the Company can validate the quote or indication against recent transactions in the market.
The table below presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs utilized by the Company in determining fair values for fixed maturity investments classified as Level 3 at September 30, 2025. Valuations for assets presented in the tables below are primarily based on broker/dealer quotes for which there is a lack of transparency as to inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative detail of these unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably available to the Company. The weighted average yield is calculated based on fair value.

For an investment in a fixed maturity security, an increase in the yield used to determine the fair value of the security will decrease the fair value of the security. A decrease in the yield used to determine fair value will increase the fair value of the security, but for callable securities the fair value increase is generally limited to par, unless security is currently callable at a premium.
Information by security type pertaining to the changes in the fair value of the Company’s investments classified as Level 3 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is presented below.

The fund investments included above (excluding Hedge Funds) are not redeemable, because distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. The funds are generally expected to have approximately 10 year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund manager’s discretion, typically in one or two-year increments.
The hedge fund investments included above, which are carried at fair value, are generally redeemable subject to the redemption notices period. The majority of the hedge fund investments are redeemable monthly or quarterly.

Loans to policyholders are carried at unpaid principal balance which approximates fair value and are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The nature of policy loans is to have a negligible default risk as the loans are fully collateralized by the value of the policy. Policy loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances and accrued interest are repaid either by the policyholder or with proceeds from the policy. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value. The fair value measurement of Short-term Investments is estimated using inputs that are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 measurements. The Mortgage Loans fair value measurement is considered equal to amortized cost given the short-term nature of the investments. The fair value measurement of Equity Securities at Modified Cost is estimated using inputs that are considered Level 3 measurements. The cash surrender value of Company-Owned Life Insurance approximates fair value and is considered to be a Level 2 investment. The fair value of Long-term Debt is estimated using quoted prices for similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements. Policyholder Obligations presented in the preceding table consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, and the inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements.
KEMPER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Note 9 - Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity's operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect that entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
Reciprocal Exchange
The Company has formed a management company that acts as attorney-in-fact (“AIF”) for Kemper Reciprocal (the “Reciprocal Exchange” or “Exchange”), an Illinois-domiciled reciprocal insurance exchange. The Exchange principally writes specialty personal automobile policies sold to subscribers of the Exchange. The establishment of Kemper Reciprocal was completed in the third quarter of 2023.
The Company consolidates the Exchange since (1) the AIF manages the business operations of the Exchange and therefore has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Exchange and (2) the Company has provided capital to the Exchange and would absorb any expected losses that could potentially be significant to the Exchange. The Exchange’s anticipated economic performance is the product of its underwriting and investment results. The AIF receives a management fee for the services provided to the Reciprocal Exchange. The management fee revenues are based upon all premiums written or assumed by the Exchange. The AIF determines the management fee rate to be paid by the Exchange. The AIF can charge a management fee of up to 30% of the Exchange’s gross written and assumed premiums.
The assets of the Reciprocal Exchange can be used only to settle the obligations of the Reciprocal Exchange for which creditors and other beneficial owners have no recourse to the Company. The Company has no obligation related to any underwriting and/or investment losses experienced by the Exchange. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had contributed $22.0 million of surplus to the Reciprocal Exchange. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company contributed an additional $7.0 million of surplus to the Reciprocal Exchange, resulting in a total contributed surplus of $29.0 million as of September 30, 2025. The effects of the transactions between the Company and the Reciprocal Exchange are eliminated in consolidation to derive consolidated Net (Loss) Income. However, the management fee income earned by the AIF is reported in Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation and is included in basic and diluted earnings per share.
Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Since the Company has no ownership interest in Kemper Reciprocal, the difference between the carrying value of the Exchange’s assets and liabilities represents noncontrolling interest and any income or loss generated by the net assets of the Exchange is presented as income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest.
Alternative Energy Partnership
The Company invests in an Alternative Energy Partnership formed to provide sustainable energy projects that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. This entity was formed to invest in newly installed residential solar leases and power purchase agreements. As a result of this investment, the Company has the right to certain investment tax credits and tax depreciation benefits, and to a lesser extent, cash flows generated from the installed solar systems leased to individual consumers.
The Company’s interest in the Alternative Energy Partnership Investment is considered an investment in a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and therefore is not required to consolidate the VIE. The project sponsor governs the entity, and the Company only has consent rights that have been deemed protective in nature and does not participate in key economic decisions of the entity.
The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and included in Other Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the HLBV equity method to account for earnings and losses. This method provides an earnings allocation that appropriately reflects the substantive economics of the investment. Earnings and losses on the investment are reported in Other Income and investment tax credits are recognized in Income Tax (Benefit) Expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

Costs directly associated with the successful acquisition of business, principally commissions and certain premium taxes and policy issuance costs, are deferred. Costs deferred on property and casualty insurance contracts are amortized over the period in which premiums are earned. Costs deferred on traditional life insurance products and other long-duration insurance contracts are amortized on a constant level basis over the expected life of the contracts in accordance with the assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policyholder benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts. The underlying assumptions for deferred policy acquisition costs and the liability for future policyholder benefits are updated concurrently.
The Company did not make any changes to future assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Note 13 - Shareholders’ Equity
Common Stock Repurchases
On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of Kemper’s common stock, in addition to $133.3 million remaining under a prior authorization in 2014, bringing the remaining share repurchase authorization to approximately $333.3 million (the “2014 Repurchase Program”). On August 5, 2025, Kemper’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Program”).
As of September 30, 2025, the 2014 Repurchase Program has been completed, and the remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program was $383.8 million.
On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase an aggregate of $150.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company made a payment of $150.0 million to Goldman Sachs, and on August 14, 2025, received initial deliveries of an aggregate of 2,279,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 80% of the total shares that are expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price on August 13, 2025 of $52.65 per share.
The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The ASR Agreement was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction and forward stock purchase contract. The shares delivered were immediately retired, and the unsettled portion of the ASR Agreement was recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The forward stock purchase contract is considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and is classified as an equity instrument.
On October 13, 2025, as final settlement of the share repurchase transaction under the ASR Agreement, the Company received from Goldman Sachs approximately 615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In total, the Company repurchased 2,894,000 shares of its Common Stock under the ASR Agreement at $51.84 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement less a customary discount. The shares delivered were immediately retired.
In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,126,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $66.5 million and an average cost per share of $59.00. In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,636,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $99.0 million and an average cost per share of $60.52.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 400,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $25.0 million and an average cost per share of $61.21.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 17,000 and 14,000 shares under the Kemper Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) at a discounted price of $43.82 and $52.06 per share, respectively. Compensation costs charged against income were $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 45,000 and 47,000 shares under the Kemper ESPP, respectively, at an average discounted price of $51.17 and $51.61 per share. Compensation costs charged against income were $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

FHLB Funding Agreements
Kemper’s subsidiary, United Insurance Company of America (“United Insurance”) has entered into funding agreements with the FHLB of Chicago in exchange for cash, which it uses for spread lending purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, United Insurance received advances of $30.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $46.1 million under the spread lending program.
When a funding agreement is issued, United Insurance is required to post collateral in the form of eligible securities including mortgage-backed, government, and agency debt instruments for each of the advances that are entered. The fair value of the collateral pledged must be maintained at certain specified levels above the borrowed amount, which can vary depending on the assets pledged. If the fair value of the collateral declines below these specified levels of the amount borrowed, United Insurance would be required to pledge additional collateral or repay outstanding borrowings. Upon any event of default by United Insurance, the FHLB’s recovery on the collateral is limited to the amount of United Insurance’s liability under the funding agreements to the FHLB of Chicago.
United Insurance’s liability under the funding agreements with the FHLB of Chicago, the amount of collateral pledged under such agreements and FHLB of Chicago common stock owned by United Insurance at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is presented below.

Note 18 - Income Taxes
The statute of limitations related to Kemper and its eligible subsidiaries’ consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2011 as well as 2018 and 2019. As a result of the Company filing amended federal income tax returns, tax years 2012 and 2013 are under limited examination with respect to carryback adjustments associated with the amended returns. Tax years 2020 and 2022 are currently under examination and will remain open until the examination is complete. The statute of limitations related to tax years 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 has been extended to December 31, 2026. Tax years 2021, 2022, and 2023 are subject to a statute of three years from the extended due dates of October 15, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.
The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the various state income tax returns that Kemper and its subsidiaries file varies by state.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed, enacting significant changes to federal tax law. The OBBBA includes, among other provisions, extension and modification of various provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental costs, accelerated depreciation, compensation-related items, and the repeal of certain clean energy tax credits. The Company has evaluated the impacts of the OBBBA, which were not material to the consolidated financial statements, and will continue to monitor developments as further information becomes available.
The interim period tax expense or benefit is the difference between the year-to-date income tax provision and the amounts reported for the previous interim periods of the fiscal year. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the income tax benefit attributable to Kemper Corporation was $7.9 million, or 27.3% of income before income taxes, compared to an income tax expense of $18.9 million, or 20.4% of income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the income tax expense attributable to Kemper Corporation was $34.0 million, or 18.3% of income before income taxes, compared to an income tax expense of $53.4 million, or 19.5% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
There were no Unrecognized Tax Benefits at September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. There were no liabilities for accrued interest and penalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, federal income taxes paid, net of income tax refunds received, were $20.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, federal income taxes paid, net of income tax refunds received, were $9.9 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, state income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $1.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. No foreign income taxes were paid or refunded for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of its businesses, the Company is involved in legal proceedings including lawsuits, arbitration, regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of its pending legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this report, the Company presents certain measures of its performance on a consolidated and segment basis that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding for the Company and our investors of our performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. Segment-specific financial measures are calculated using only the portion of consolidated results attributable to that specific segment.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation the after-tax impact of:
(i) Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities;
(ii) Net Realized Investment Gains;
(iii) Impairment Losses;
(iv) Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs;
(v) Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges;
(vi) Goodwill Impairment Charges;
(vii) Non-Core Operations; and
(viii) Significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations
Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.
Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment Gains and Impairment Losses related to investments included in the Company’s results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions that impact the values of the Company’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction Costs, Integration Costs, and Restructuring and Other Costs may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by the timing of acquisitions and business decisions which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. In the third quarter of 2025, a restructuring program was launched to achieve operational and organizational efficiencies. The Company will continue to evaluate additional efficiency opportunities through 2027. Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges relate to (i) loss from early extinguishment of debt, which is driven by the Company’s financing and refinancing decisions and capital needs, as well as external economic developments such as debt market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process; (ii) settlement of pension plan obligations which are business decisions made by the Company, the timing of which is unrelated to the underwriting process; and (iii) other charges that are non-standard, not part of the ordinary course of business, and unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Goodwill Impairment Charges are excluded because they are infrequent and non-recurring charges. Non-Core Operations includes the results of our Preferred Insurance business which we expect to fully exit. These results are excluded because they are irrelevant to our ongoing operations and do not qualify for Discontinued Operations under GAAP. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s business or economic trends.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)
Underlying Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses (“LAE”) and Underlying Combined Ratio
The following discussion uses the non-GAAP financial measures of (i) Underlying Losses and LAE and (ii) Underlying Combined Ratio. Underlying Losses and LAE (also referred to in the discussion as “Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE”) exclude the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years from the Company’s Incurred Losses and LAE, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The Underlying Combined Ratio is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Insurance Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the Combined Ratio, which is computed by adding Total Incurred Losses and LAE Ratio, including the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years, with the Insurance Expense Ratio.
The Company believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in the Company’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause the Company’s loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the Combined Ratio. Prior-year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing on the performance of the Company’s insurance products in the current period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s underwriting performance.
The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Company’s businesses.

Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation
Net Income (Loss) attributable to Kemper Corporation decreased by $94.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to lower Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income decreased by $84.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mostly driven by our Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment due primarily to a higher Underlying Combined Ratio and higher adverse prior year development on bodily injury coverages within commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases.
The loss from Non-Core Operations increased by $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to $21.7 million of impairment losses recognized on Internal-Use Software assets reported as Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the business continues run-off, partially offset by lower catastrophe losses and lower adverse prior year development. Additionally, on August 1, 2025, certain Company subsidiaries entered into a renewal rights agreement with a third party and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Third Party”) whereby the Third Party will offer replacement policies for certain policies written by the Company’s subsidiaries in New York after the expiration of their current term. Execution of the terms of the agreement is contingent upon the granting of regulatory approvals by the New York Department of Financial Services.
Corporate and Other Adjusted Net Operating Loss decreased by $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by lower interest expense due to the redemption of $450 million of 4.350% senior notes.
Net Income (Loss) attributable to Kemper Corporation decreased by $69.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to lower Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income decreased by $55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to a deterioration in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s Underlying Combined Ratio and higher adverse prior year development on bodily injury coverages within commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases.
Summary of Results (Continued)
This was partially offset by increased Life Insurance segment earnings driven by higher net investment income and a reduction in policyholders’ benefits and insurance expenses. Life Insurance segment results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included an $11.9 million after-tax loss from an investment valuation adjustment on one real estate investment from our alternative investment portfolio.
The loss from Non-Core Operations increased by $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to $21.7 million of impairment losses on Internal-Use Software assets reported as Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, partially offset by lower adverse prior year development as the business continues to run-off.
Corporate and Other Adjusted Net Operating Loss decreased by $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by lower interest expense due to the redemption of $450 million of 4.350% senior notes.
Revenues
Total Revenues increased by $60.8 million to $1,239.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,178.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher earned premiums.
Earned Premiums increased by $64.8 million to $1,133.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1,068.5 for the same period in 2024, primarily driven by a $98.3 million increase from the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases. This was partially offset by a $32.7 million reduction in premiums from our Preferred Insurance business, reported as Non-Core Operations, due primarily to lower volumes resulting from the exit and run-off of the business.
Net Investment Income decreased by $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mostly driven by decreased earnings on alternative investments and lower levels and yields from Short-term investments, partially offset by higher earnings on Company Owned Life Insurance.
Net Realized Investment Gains increased by $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased gains on sales of fixed maturity investments.
Impairment losses increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
Total Revenues increased by $206.5 million to $3,658.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,451.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher earned premiums.
Earned Premiums increased by $217.9 million to $3,352.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3,134.1 for the same period in 2024, primarily driven by a $368.7 million increase from the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases, partially offset by a $152.1 million reduction in premiums from our Preferred Insurance business, reported as Non-Core Operations, due primarily to lower volumes resulting from the exit and run-off of the business.
Net Investment Income decreased by $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mostly driven by lower levels and yields from fixed maturity securities and lower yields from Short-term investments, partially offset by higher earnings on Company-Owned Life Insurance and increased earnings on alternative investments.
Net Realized Investment Gains decreased by $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to decreased gains on sales of fixed maturity and equity securities, partially offset by the absence of net realized losses on ultra-long treasury future derivatives transactions that did not qualify for hedge accounting.
Impairment losses increased by $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in the allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities.

See MD&A, “Critical Accounting Estimates,” of the 2024 Annual Report for additional information pertaining to the Company’s process of estimating property and casualty insurance reserves for losses and LAE, development of property and casualty insurance losses and LAE from prior accident years, also referred to as “reserve development” in the discussion of segment results, estimated variability of property and casualty insurance reserves for losses and LAE, and a discussion of some of the variables that may impact development of property and casualty insurance losses and LAE and the estimated variability of property and casualty insurance reserves for losses and LAE.
Overall
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Same Period in 2024
The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $103.6 million for the same period in 2024. Segment adjusted net operating results decreased by $96.0 million that included a $69.9 million and $26.1 million decrease from personal automobile and commercial automobile insurance, respectively, due primarily to an increase in the Underlying Combined Ratio for personal automobile insurance and higher adverse prior year development in commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by growth from rate increases.
Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $98.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases and higher commercial automobile volumes.
Net Investment Income in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher levels of invested assets resulting from growth.
Incurred Loss and LAE were $851.1 million or 83.7% of earned premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $647.9 million or 70.5% of earned premiums, for the same period in 2024. Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased primarily due to deterioration in the underlying loss and LAE ratio and increased adverse prior year development. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 78.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a deterioration of 8.4 percentage points, compared to the same period in 2024 driven by higher loss costs primarily resulting from higher claim severity and frequency in bodily injury and property damage coverages within personal automobile insurance, that were partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure (10.3% increase year over year). Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and prior year loss and LAE reserve development. Adverse prior year loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $51.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to adverse development of $0.1 million for the same period in 2024, a deterioration of $51.3 million due primarily to evolving loss patterns within bodily injury coverages within our Commercial Automobile product line. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2024, an improvement of $2.6 million due to fewer catastrophe events and lower severity per event in the current period.
Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance (Continued)
Insurance Expenses were $214.6 million, or 21.1% of earned premiums, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $194.9 million, or 21.2% of earned premiums for the same period in 2024. Insurance Expenses increased $19.7 million primarily due to higher expenses associated with increased business volumes.
The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s three months ended September 30, 2025 effective tax rate was 3.1% compared to 20.3% for the same period in 2024. The effective income tax rate for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance, tax-exempt investment income and nondeductible expenses. The change in the effective tax rate from the third quarter of 2024 is due to a decrease in pre-tax income while the net favorable tax adjustments have remained consistent.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Same Period in 2024
The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $184.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $275.1 million for the same period in 2024. Segment adjusted net operating results decreased by $90.6 million which included a $58.3 million decrease from personal automobile insurance and a $32.3 million decrease from commercial automobile insurance. The decrease in personal automobile Adjusted Net Operating Income was primarily driven by higher underlying losses. The decrease in commercial automobile insurance Adjusted Net Operating Income was primarily driven by higher adverse prior year development.
Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $368.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases and higher commercial automobile volumes.
Net Investment Income in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher levels of invested assets resulting from growth.

Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased primarily due to a deterioration in the underlying loss and LAE ratio and adverse prior year development. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 74.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a deterioration of 3.6 percentage point, compared to the same period in 2024 due to increased claim severity and frequency in personal automobile primarily related to bodily injury and property damage coverages, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure (11.8% increase year over year). Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and loss and LAE reserve development. Adverse loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to adverse development of $5.2 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $60.9 million due primarily to evolving loss patterns on bodily injury coverages in commercial automobile and higher than expected development on litigated matters. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $18.0 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $7.9 million due to fewer catastrophe events and lower severity per event in the current period.

Overall
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Same Period in 2024
The Life Insurance segment reported Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Net Operating Income of $15.0 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in segment net operating results was primarily due to favorable changes in mortality experience from life insurance products, lower incurred losses and LAE on property insurance products, and lower insurance expenses, partially offset by a decrease in net investment income.
Earned Premiums decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
Net investment income decreased by $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to decreased earnings on alternative investments, partially offset by higher earnings on Company Owned Life Insurance.
The Life Insurance segment’s three months ended September 30, 2025 effective income tax rate was 15.3% compared to 16.5% for the same period in 2024. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance and Tax-Exempt Investment Income. The change in the effective tax rate from the three months ended September 30, 2024 is due to increased investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance and Tax-Exempt Investment Income.
Life Insurance (Continued)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Same Period in 2024
The Life Insurance segment reported Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in segment net operating results was primarily due to an increase in net investment income, favorable changes in mortality experience from life insurance products, and lower incurred losses and LAE on property insurance products.
Earned Premiums increased by $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher average premiums per policy on life insurance products.
Net investment income increased by $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to lower losses on alternative investments and higher earnings on Company-Owned Life Insurance. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a $15.1 million pre-tax loss from an investment valuation adjustment of a real estate investment in our alternative investment portfolio.
The Life Insurance segment’s nine months ended September 30, 2025 effective income tax rate was 14.5% compared to 12.8% for the same period in 2024. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance and Tax-Exempt Investment Income. The increase in the effective tax rate from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is driven by an increase in pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance and Tax-Exempt Investment Income.

Impairment Losses
The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether a decline in the fair value of an investment has occurred from credit or other, non-credit related factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit factors and the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to support the entire amortized cost basis, the credit loss is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income in the period that the declines are evaluated. Conversely, an increase in the fair value or disposal of an investment with a previously established credit allowance will result in the reversal of impairment losses reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income in the period.
The components of Impairment Losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were:

Insurance and Other Expenses
Insurance Expenses were $311.7 million and $890.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $283.4 million and $823.9 million for the same periods in 2024. Policy acquisition costs increased $12.4 million and $39.8 million compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to growth in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment from higher business volumes, partially offset by reductions due to lower volumes resulting from the exit and run-off of the Preferred Insurance business. Business unit operating costs increased $21.4 million and $39.6 million compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to impairment losses recognized on Internal-Use Software assets related to the run-off of Preferred Insurance business.
Other Expenses increased by $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs, partially offset by lower Other Corporate Costs from a reduction in legal expenses. Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 included $18.5 million of restructuring charges to achieve operational and organizational efficiencies. The Company will continue to evaluate additional efficiency opportunities through 2027. These expenses for three months ended September 30, 2024 included $7.8 million of integration expenses due to continued investments in information technology and $3.8 million of accrued severance.
Other Expenses decreased by $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due to lower Other Corporate Costs from a reduction in legal expenses partially offset by higher Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs. These expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included $18.5 million of restructuring charges to achieve operational and organizational efficiencies and $14.5 million of integration expenses due to continued investments in information technology. These expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $29.1 million of integration expenses due to continued investments in information technology.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $5.3 million and $12.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to redemption of $450 million of 4.350% senior notes.

Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2024.

Federal Home Loan Bank Agreements
Kemper’s subsidiaries, United Insurance, Trinity, and AAC are members of the Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) of Chicago, Dallas and Chicago, respectively. AAC became a member of the FHLB of Chicago in May 2022. United Insurance and Trinity became members of the FHLBs of Chicago and Dallas, respectively, in 2013. Under their memberships, United Insurance, Trinity and AAC may borrow through the advance program of their respective FHLB. The Company’s investments in FHLB common stock are reported at cost and included in Other Investments. The carrying value of FHLB of Chicago common stock was $17.7 million and $16.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The carrying value of FHLB of Dallas common stock was $2.6 million and $8.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company periodically uses short-term FHLB borrowings for a combination of cash management and risk management purposes, in addition to long-term FHLB borrowings for spread lending purposes.
During the first nine months of 2025, United Insurance received advances of $30.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $46.1 million. United Insurance had outstanding advances from the FHLB of Chicago totaling $525.2 million at September 30, 2025. These advances were made in connection with the Company’s spread lending program. The proceeds related to these advances were used to purchase fixed maturity securities to earn incremental net investment income.
For these advances, United Insurance held pledged securities in a custodial account with the FHLB of Chicago with a fair value of $658.6 million at September 30, 2025. The fair value of the collateral pledged must be maintained at certain specified levels above the borrowed amount, which can vary depending on the assets pledged. If the fair value of the collateral declines below these specified levels of the amount borrowed, United Insurance would be required to pledge additional collateral or repay outstanding borrowings. See Note 15, “Policyholder Obligations,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the United Insurance advances and related funding agreements.
Common Stock Repurchases
On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of Kemper common stock, in addition to the $133.3 million remaining under a previous authorization in 2014 (the “2014 Repurchase Program”). Additionally, on August 5, 2025, Kemper’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Program”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $219.0 million of shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2025, the 2014 Repurchase Program has been completed and the remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program was $383.8 million. The amount and timing of any future share repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program will depend on various factors, including market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, available liquidity, particular circumstances and other considerations.
On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase an aggregate of $150.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company made a payment of $150.0 million to Goldman Sachs, and on August 14, 2025, received and retired initial deliveries of 2,279,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 80% of the total shares that are expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price on August 13, 2025 of $52.65 per share.
On October 13, 2025, as final settlement of the share repurchase transaction under the ASR Agreement, the Company received from Goldman Sachs approximately 615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In total, the Company repurchased 2,894,000 shares of its Common Stock under the ASR Agreement at $51.84 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement less a customary discount. The shares delivered were immediately retired.
In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,126,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $66.5 million and an average cost per share of $59.00. In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,636,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $99.0 million and an average cost per share of $60.52.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 400,000 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase authorization for an aggregate cost of $25.0 million and an average cost per share of $61.21.
Dividends to Shareholders
Kemper paid a quarterly dividend of $0.32 and $0.31 per common share in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends and dividend equivalents paid were $60.7 million and $60.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Subsidiary Dividends
Various insurance laws restrict the ability of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws applicable to the Company’s US based insurance subsidiaries generally restrict the amount of dividends paid in an annual period to the greater of statutory net income from the previous year or 10% of statutory capital and surplus. Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries paid $433.9 million of dividends to Kemper during the first nine months of 2025. As of the filing date, Kemper’s US based insurance subsidiaries do not have remaining capacity to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval.

The Company directly held cash and investments totaling $156.8 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $547.6 million at December 31, 2024.
The primary sources of funds available for repayment of Kemper’s indebtedness, repurchases of common stock, future shareholder dividend payments, and the payment of interest on Kemper’s senior notes, include cash and investments directly held by Kemper, receipt of dividends from Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries and borrowings under the credit agreement and from subsidiaries.
The primary sources of funds for Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment income, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments, advances from the FHLBs of Chicago and Dallas, and capital contributions from Kemper. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses, the purchase of investments and repayments of advances from the FHLBs of Chicago and Dallas.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid. During periods of growth, property and casualty insurance companies typically experience positive operating cash flows and can invest a portion of their operating cash flows to fund future policyholder benefits and claims. During periods in which premium revenues decline, insurance companies may experience negative cash flows from operations and may need to sell investments to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. In addition, if the Company’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may be sold to fund payments, which could result in investment gains or losses. Management believes that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the event that they were to experience several future catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time.
Information about the Company’s cash flows for nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented below.

Cash available for investment activities is dependent on cash flow from Operating Activities and Financing Activities and the level of cash the Company elects to maintain.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by Operating Activities was $409.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash provided of $207.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by Operating Activities was primarily driven by growth from our Specialty Property & Casualty business due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases and timing of claim payments. This was partially offset by lower business volumes and timing of claim payments within Non-Core Operations resulting from the exit and run-off of the Preferred Insurance business.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by Investing Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $413.4 million, compared to net cash used of $89.6 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by Investing Activities was primarily due to proceeds from sales of short term investments that were primarily used to fund the redemption of the $450.0 million 4.350% Senior Notes due February 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). This was partially offset by an increase in net purchases of Fixed Maturity investments as a result of normal portfolio management.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in Financing Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $780.9 million, compared to net cash used of $125.4 million for the same period in 2024. This increase in net cash used by Financing Activities was primarily due to the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2025 and common stock repurchases made during the second and third quarter of 2025.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Kemper’s subsidiaries conduct their operations in two industries: property and casualty insurance and life insurance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The process of estimation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could ultimately differ materially from the estimated amounts reported in a company’s financial statements. Different assumptions are likely to result in different estimates of reported amounts.
Critical Accounting Estimates (Continued)
The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of life insurance reserves, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to the Company’s disclosures about market risk in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of Part II of the 2024 Annual Report. Accordingly, no disclosures about market risk have been made in Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of Kemper’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Kemper’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Kemper in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Kemper’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Items not listed here have been omitted because they are inapplicable or the answer is negative.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information concerning pending legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a discussion of the Company’s significant risk factors, see Item 1A. of Part I of the 2024 Annual Report. Readers are also advised to consider other factors not presently known by, or considered material to, the Company that could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, along with other information disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the factors set forth under the caption “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 1 of the 2024 Annual Report and on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and to consult any further disclosures Kemper makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds and Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities
On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of Kemper common stock, in addition to the $133.3 million remaining under a prior authorization in 2014, bringing the remaining share repurchase authorization to approximately $333.3 million (the “2014 Repurchase Program”). On August 5, 2025, Kemper’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Program”).
On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase an aggregate of $150.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock.
Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company made a payment of $150.0 million to Goldman Sachs and, on August 14, 2025, received initial deliveries of an aggregate of 2,279,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 80% of the total shares that are expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price on August 13, 2025 of $52.65 per share.
On October 13, 2025, as final settlement of the share repurchase transaction under the ASR Agreement, the Company received from Goldman Sachs approximately 615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In total, the Company repurchased 2,894,000 shares of its Common Stock under the ASR Agreement at $51.84 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement less a customary discount. The shares delivered were immediately retired.
In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,126,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $66.5 million and average cost per share of $59.00.
As of September 30, 2025, the 2014 Repurchase Program has been completed, and the remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program was $383.8 million.

As provided in the Supplemental Confirmation |
Date: |
August 13, 2025 |
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
This master confirmation (this “Master Confirmation”), dated as of August 13, 2025 is intended to set forth certain terms and provisions of certain Transactions (each, a “Transaction”) entered into from time to time between Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Dealer”) and Kemper Corporation (“Counterparty”). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction. The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in a Supplemental Confirmation in the form of Schedule A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation together shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the subject matter and terms of each Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.
This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation supplement form a part of and are subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed the Agreement on the date of this Master Confirmation (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of New York law as the governing law (without reference to its choice of law provisions), (ii) the election that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) of the Agreement will not apply to the Transactions, (iii) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Dealer with a “Threshold Amount” of 3% of the shareholders’ equity of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Dealer Parent”) and as if “Specified Indebtedness” had the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement (provided that (a) the text “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” shall be deleted from Section 5(a)(vi)(1) of the Agreement, (b) such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Dealer’s banking business and (c) the following provision shall be added to the end of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement: “but a default under clause (2) above shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature, (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay”), and (iv) as otherwise provided herein or in a Supplemental Confirmation).
The Transactions shall be the sole Transactions under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties, the Transactions shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.
All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in the Agreement shall govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified herein or in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
If, in relation to any Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation relate, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Master Confirmation, any Supplemental Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Supplemental Confirmation; (ii) this Master Confirmation; (iii) the Equity Definitions; and
(iv) the Agreement.
1.Each Transaction constitutes a Share Forward Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions. Set forth below are the terms and conditions that, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation relating to any Transaction, shall govern such Transaction.
General Terms:
Trade Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Buyer: Counterparty
Seller: Dealer
Shares: Common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Counterparty (Ticker: KMPR)
Exchange: New York Stock Exchange
Related Exchange(s): All Exchanges.
Prepayment\Variable
Obligation: Applicable
Prepayment Amount: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Prepayment Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Valuation:
VWAP Price: For any Exchange Business Day, as determined by the New York 10b-18. Volume Weighted Average Price per Share for the regular trading session (including any extensions thereof) of the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day (without regard to pre-open or after hours trading outside of such regular trading session for such Exchange Business Day), as published by Bloomberg at 4:15 p.m. New York time (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension of the regular trading session) on such Exchange Business Day, on Bloomberg page “KMPR.N <Equity> AQR_SEC” (or any successor thereto), or if such price is not so reported on such Exchange Business Day for any reason or is, in the Calculation Agent’s reasonable determination, erroneous, such VWAP Price shall be as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent. For purposes of calculating the VWAP Price, the Calculation Agent will include only those
trades that are reported during the period of time during which Counterparty could purchase its own shares under Rule 10b-18(b)(2) and are effected pursuant to the conditions of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), each under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (such trades, “Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions”).
Forward Price: The average of the VWAP Prices for the Exchange Business Days in the Calculation Period, subject to “Valuation Disruption” below
Forward Price
Adjustment Amount: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Calculation Period: The period from and including the Calculation Period Start Date to and including the Termination Date.
Calculation Period Start Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Termination Date: The Scheduled Termination Date, provided that Dealer shall have the right to designate any Exchange Business Day on or after the First Acceleration Date to be the Termination Date for all or a portion of the Transaction (the "Accelerated Termination Date") by delivering notice (the "Accelerated Termination Notice") to Counterparty of any designation prior to 6:00 p.m. New York City time on the Exchange Business Day immediately following the designated Acceleration Termination Date.
Scheduled Termination Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation, subject to postponement as provided in "Valuation Disruption" below.
First Acceleration Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Valuation Disruption: The definition of "Market Disruption Event" in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words "at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be" and inserting the words "at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Calculation Period or Settlement Valuation Period" after the word "material" in the third line thereof.
Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that a Disrupted Day occurs (i) in the Calculation Period, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, postpone the Scheduled Termination Date, or (ii) in the Settlement Valuation Period, the Calculation Agent may extend the Settlement Valuation Period. If any such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event (or a deemed Market Disruption Event as provided herein), the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Forward Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event, and the weighting of the VWAP Price for the relevant
Exchange Business Days during the Calculation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculations Agent for purposes of determining the Forward Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, with such adjustments based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and the price of the Shares. Any Exchange Business Day on which, as of the date hereof, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be an Exchange Business Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Exchange Business Day is scheduled following the date hereof, then such Exchange Business Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full.
If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Calculation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, and each of the nine immediately following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day, then the Calculation Agent, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, may deem such ninth Scheduled Trading Day to be an Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day and determine the VWAP Price for such ninth Scheduled Trading Day using its good faith estimate of the value of the Shares on such ninth Scheduled Trading Day based on the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares and such other factors as it deems appropriate.
Settlement Procedures: If the Number of Shares to be Delivered is positive, Physical Settlement shall be applicable; provided that Dealer does not, and shall not, make the agreement or the representations set forth in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions related to the restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws with respect to any Shares delivered by Dealer to Counterparty under any Transaction. If the Number of Shares to be Delivered is negative, then the Counterparty Settlement Provisions in Annex A shall apply.
Number of Shares
to be Delivered: A number of Shares equal to (x)(a) the Prepayment Amount divided by (b) the Divisor Amount minus (y) the number of Initial Shares.
Divisor Amount: The greater of (i) the Forward Price minus the Forward Price Adjustment Amount and (ii) $1.00.
Excess Dividend Amount: For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Excess Dividend Amount shall be deleted from Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions.
Settlement Date: If the Number of Shares to be Delivered is positive, the earlier of (x) the date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the Scheduled Termination Date or (y) the date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the date on which Dealer delivers the Accelerated Termination Notice.
Settlement Currency: USD
Initial Share Delivery: Dealer shall deliver a number of shares equal to the Initial Shares to Counterparty on the Initial Share Delivery Date in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, with the Initial Share Delivery Date deemed to be a "Settlement Date" for purposes of such Section 9.4.
Initial Share Delivery Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Initial Shares: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Share Adjustments:
Potential Adjustment Event: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, none of (i) an Extraordinary Dividend, (ii) the issuance of additional stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units in the ordinary course pursuant to an equity plan or dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) a Permitted Transaction (as defined below) shall constitute a Potential Adjustment Event.
It shall constitute an additional Potential Adjustment Event if the Scheduled Termination Date for any Transaction is postponed pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above, in which case the Calculation Agent may, in its commercially reasonable discretion, adjust any relevant terms of any such Transaction as necessary to preserve as nearly as practicable the fair value of such Transaction to Dealer prior to such postponement.
Extraordinary Dividend: For any calendar quarter, any dividend or distribution on the Shares with an ex- dividend date occurring during such calendar quarter (other than any dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(A) of the Equity Definitions) (a “Dividend”) the amount or value of which (as determined by the Calculation Agent), when aggregated with the amount or value (as determined by the Calculation Agent) of any and all previous Dividends with ex-dividend dates occurring in the same calendar quarter, exceeds the Ordinary Dividend Amount.
Ordinary Dividend Amount: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment
Early Ordinary Dividend
Payment: If an ex-dividend date for any Dividend that is not an Extraordinary Dividend occurs during any calendar quarter occurring (in whole or in part) during the Relevant Dividend Period (as defined below) and is prior to the Scheduled Ex- Dividend Date for such calendar quarter, the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustment to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the relevant Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such event.
Scheduled Ex-Dividend
Dates: For each Transaction for each calendar quarter, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
Extraordinary Events:
Consequences of Merger Events:
(a)Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment
(b)Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment

2.Calculation Agent. Dealer; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5(a)(vii) of the Agreement with respect to which Dealer is the Defaulting Party, Counterparty shall have the right to select a leading dealer in the market for U.S. corporate equity derivatives to
replace Dealer as Calculation Agent, and the parties shall work promptly and in good faith to execute any appropriate documentation required by such replacement Calculation Agent.
3.(a) Additional Mutual Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Each Party. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, each party represents, warrants and covenants to the other party that:
(i)Eligible Contract Participant. It is an “eligible contract participant”, as defined in the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act (as amended), and is entering into each Transaction hereunder as principal (and not as agent or in any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise) and not for the benefit of any third party.
(ii)Accredited Investor. Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of each Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in each Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of each Transaction is restricted under this Master Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.
(b)Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Dealer. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, Dealer represents, warrants and covenants to Counterparty that:
(i)Dealer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, during the Calculation Period and any Settlement Valuation Period for each Transaction, to make all purchases of Shares in connection with such Transaction in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3) and (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18, as if such rule were applicable to such purchases and taking into account any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission no-action letters as appropriate, and subject to any delays between the execution and reporting of a trade of the Shares on the Exchange and other circumstances beyond Dealer’s control; provided that, during a Calculation Period, the foregoing agreement shall not apply to purchases made to dynamically hedge for Dealer’s own account or the account of its affiliate(s) the optionality arising under a Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, timing optionality).
(ii)Dealer has implemented policies and procedures, taking into consideration the nature of its business, reasonably designed to prevent individuals making investment decisions related to any Transaction from having access to material nonpublic information regarding the Issuer that may be in possession of other individuals at Dealer.
4.Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Counterparty. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Dealer that:
(a)The purchase or writing of each Transaction and the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act.
(b)It is not entering into any Transaction (i) on the basis of, and is not aware of, any material non-
public information with respect to the Shares, (ii) in anticipation of, in connection with, or to facilitate, a distribution of its securities, a self tender offer or a third-party tender offer or (iii) to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares).
(c)Each Transaction is being entered into pursuant to a publicly disclosed Share buy-back program and its Board of Directors has approved the use of derivatives to effect the Share buy-back program.
(d)Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that neither Dealer nor any of its affiliates is making any representations or warranties or taking any position or expressing any view with respect to the treatment of any Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.
(e)As of (i) the date hereof and (ii) the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, Counterparty is in compliance with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
(f)Counterparty shall report each Transaction as required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(g)The Shares are not, and Counterparty will not cause the Shares to be, subject to a “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act) at any time during any Regulation M Period (as defined below) for any Transaction unless Counterparty has provided written notice to Dealer of such restricted period not later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such “restricted period”; Counterparty acknowledges that any such notice may cause a Disrupted Day to occur pursuant to Section 5 below; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section 6 below; “Regulation M Period” means, for any Transaction, (i) the Calculation Period (as defined below) and (ii) the Settlement Valuation Period, if any, for such Transaction.
(h)As of the Trade Date, the Prepayment Date, the Initial Share Delivery Date and the Settlement Date for each Transaction, Counterparty is not “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of Shares with a value equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation.
(i)Counterparty is not and, after giving effect to any Transaction, will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(k)Counterparty has not entered into and will not enter into agreements similar to the Transactions described herein where any initial hedge period, calculation period or settlement valuation period (each however defined) in such other transaction will overlap at any time (including as a result of extensions in such initial hedge period, calculation period or settlement valuation period as provided in the relevant agreements) with any Calculation Period or, if applicable, any Settlement Valuation Period under this Master Confirmation. In the event that the initial hedge period, calculation period or settlement valuation period in any other similar transaction overlaps with any Calculation Period or, if applicable, Settlement Valuation Period under this Master Confirmation as a result of any postponement of the Scheduled Termination Date or extension of the Settlement Valuation Period pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above, Counterparty shall promptly amend such transaction to avoid any such overlap.
(l)Neither Counterparty nor any of its subsidiaries has applied nor shall it, until after the first date on which no portion of the Transaction remains outstanding following any final exercise and settlement, cancellation or early termination of the Transaction, apply, for a loan, loan guarantee, direct loan (as that term is defined in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”)) or other investment, or to receive any financial assistance or relief under any program or facility (collectively “Financial Assistance”) that (a) is established under applicable law (whether in existence as of the Trade Date or subsequently enacted, adopted or amended), including without limitation the CARES Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and (b) (i) requires under applicable law (or any regulation, guidance, interpretation or other pronouncement of a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility) as a condition of such Financial Assistance, that the Counterparty comply with any requirement not to, or otherwise agree, attest, certify or warrant that it has not, as of the date specified in such condition, repurchased, or will not repurchase, any equity security of Counterparty, and that Counterparty has not, as of the date specified in the condition, made a capital distribution or will not make a capital distribution, or (ii) where the terms of the Transaction would cause Counterparty to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of the Financial Assistance (collectively “Restricted Financial Assistance”); provided, that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries may apply for Restricted Financial Assistance if Counterparty either (a) determines based on the advice of outside counsel of national standing that the terms of the Transaction would not cause Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of such Financial Assistance based on the terms of the program or facility as of the date of such advice or (b) delivers to Dealer evidence or other guidance from a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility that the Transaction is permitted under such program or facility (either by specific reference
to the Transaction or by general reference to transactions with the attributes of the Transaction in all relevant respects).
5.Regulatory Disruption. In the event that Dealer concludes, in its reasonable discretion and based on advice of counsel, that it is appropriate with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer), for it to refrain from or decrease any market activity as it relates to establishing or maintaining a commercially reasonable hedge position on any Scheduled Trading Day or Days during the Calculation Period or, if applicable, the Settlement Valuation Period, Dealer may by written notice to Counterparty elect to deem that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and will be continuing on such Scheduled Trading Day or Days. Dealer shall subsequently notify Counterparty in writing on the day Dealer reasonably believes in good faith and upon the advice of counsel that it may resume its market activity. Dealer shall not be required to communicate to Counterparty the reason for Dealer’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this provision if Dealer reasonably determines in good faith and upon the advice of counsel that disclosing such reason may result in a violation of any legal, regulatory, or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer).
6.10b5-1 Plan. Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Dealer that:
(a)Counterparty is entering into this Master Confirmation and each Transaction hereunder in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) or any other antifraud or anti-manipulation provisions of the federal or applicable state securities laws and that it has not entered into or altered and will not enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. Counterparty acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 and each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).
(b)Counterparty will not seek to control or influence Dealer’s decision to make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under any Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation, including, without limitation, Dealer’s decision to enter into any hedging transactions. Counterparty has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation under Rule 10b5-1.
(c)Any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Master Confirmation or the relevant Supplemental Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares. Counterparty further agrees to act in good faith with respect to this Master Confirmation, each Supplemental Confirmation and the Agreement.
7.Counterparty Purchases. Counterparty (or any “affiliated purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) shall not, without the prior written consent of Dealer, directly or indirectly purchase any Shares (including by means of a derivative instrument), listed contracts on the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares (including, without limitation, any Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks (as defined in Rule 10b-18)) during any Calculation Period or, if applicable, Settlement Valuation Period, except through Dealer. However, the foregoing shall not (a) limit Counterparty’s ability to purchase Shares in connection with any company employee, officer or director equity plan or any dividend reinvestment plan, in each case, that are not expected to result in market transactions, (b) limit Counterparty’s ability to withhold Shares to cover tax liabilities associated with any such plan, (c) prohibit any purchases effected by or for an issuer “plan” by an “agent independent of the issuer” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18), (d) otherwise restrict Counterparty’s or any of its affiliates’ ability to repurchase Shares under privately negotiated, off exchange transactions with any of its employees, officers, directors, affiliates or any third party that are not expected to result in market transactions or (e) limit Counterparty’s ability to grant stock and options to “affiliated purchasers” (as
defined in Rule 10b-18) or the ability of such affiliated purchasers to acquire such stock or options in connection with Counterparty’s compensation policies for directors, officers and employees or any agreements with respect to the compensation of directors, officers or employees of any entities that are acquisition targets of Counterparty; provided that the transactions described in (a)-(e) are not considered a “Rule 10b-18 purchase” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) (the transactions described in (a)-(e) of this sentence, the “Permitted Transactions”).
8.Special Provisions for Merger Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions:
(a)Counterparty agrees that it:
(i)will not during the period commencing on the Trade Date through the end of the Calculation Period or, if applicable, the Settlement Valuation Period for any Transaction make, or permit to be made (to the extent within Counterparty's control), any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction (a “Public Announcement”) unless such Public Announcement is made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange for the Shares;
(ii)shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) notify Dealer following any such Public Announcement that such Public Announcement has been made; and
(iii)shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Dealer with written notice specifying (i) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b- 18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately preceding the date of such Public Announcement that were not effected through Dealer or its affiliates and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act for the three full calendar months preceding the date of such Public Announcement. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty to Dealer that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of the earlier to occur of the completion of the relevant Merger Transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders.
(b)Counterparty acknowledges that a Public Announcement may cause the terms of any Transaction to be adjusted or such Transaction to be terminated; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that in making any Public Announcement, it must comply with the standards set forth in Section 6 above.
(c)Upon the occurrence of any Public Announcement, Dealer in its reasonable discretion may (i) make adjustments to the terms of any Transaction, including, without limitation, the Scheduled Termination Date or the Forward Price Adjustment Amount, and/or suspend the Calculation Period and/or any Settlement Valuation Period or (ii) treat the occurrence of such Public Announcement as an Additional Termination Event with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transactions hereunder as the Affected Transactions and with the amount under Section 6(e) of the Agreement determined taking into account the fact that the Calculation Period or Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, had fewer Scheduled Trading Days than originally anticipated.
“Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under the Exchange Act.
9.Special Provisions for Acquisition Transaction Announcements. (a) If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs on or prior to the Settlement Date for any Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments (if any) to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of such Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on such Transaction of such Acquisition Transaction Announcement. If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs after the Trade Date, but prior to the First Acceleration Date of any Transaction, the First Acceleration Date shall be the date of such Acquisition Transaction Announcement.
(b)“Acquisition Transaction Announcement” means (i) the announcement of an event that, if consummated, would result in an Acquisition Transaction, (ii) an announcement that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries has entered into an agreement, a letter of intent or an understanding designed to result in an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) the announcement of the intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, an Acquisition Transaction, (iv) any other announcement that in the reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent may result in an Acquisition Transaction or (v) any announcement of any change or amendment to any previous Acquisition Transaction Announcement (including any announcement of the abandonment of any such previously announced Acquisition Transaction, agreement, letter of intent, understanding or intention). For the avoidance of doubt, announcements as used in the definition of Acquisition Transaction Announcement refer to any public announcement whether made by the Issuer or a third party.
(c)“Acquisition Transaction” means (i) any Merger Event (for purposes of this definition the definition of Merger Event shall be read with the references therein to “100%” being replaced by “30%” and to “50%” by “75%” and without reference to the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition), Tender Offer or Merger Transaction or any other transaction involving the merger of Counterparty with or into any third party, (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Counterparty, (iii) a recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction, (iv) any acquisition, lease, exchange, transfer, disposition (including by way of spin-off or distribution) of assets (including any capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) or other similar event by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration transferable or receivable by or to Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 30% of the market capitalization of Counterparty as of the date of such announcement and (v) any transaction in which Counterparty or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareholders in respect of such transaction (whether pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or otherwise).

(iv)all payments for, under or in connection with each Transaction, all payments for the Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of the Prepayment Amount) and the transfer of such Shares to constitute “settlement payments” and “transfers” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code).
(b)Counterparty acknowledges that:
(i)during the term of any Transaction, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to establish, adjust or unwind its hedge position with respect to such Transaction;
(ii)Dealer and its affiliates may also be active in the market for the Shares and derivatives linked to the Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to any Transaction, including acting as agent or as principal and for its own account or on behalf of customers;
(iii)Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in Counterparty’s securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Forward Price and the VWAP Price;
(iv)any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, as well as the Forward Price and VWAP Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; and
(v)each Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted Dealer an option; Dealer may purchase shares for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than, the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the related Transaction.
(c)Counterparty:
(i)is an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c);
(ii)is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of Dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified Dealer in writing; and
(iii)will notify Dealer if any of the statements contained in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 10(c) ceases to be true.
11.Credit Support Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that no Transaction hereunder is secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein or pursuant to the Agreement.
12.Set-off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Dealer agrees not to set off or net amounts due from Counterparty with respect to any Transaction against amounts due from Dealer to Counterparty with respect to contracts or instruments that are not Equity Contracts. “Equity Contract” means any transaction or instrument that does not convey to Dealer rights, or the ability to assert claims, that are senior to the rights and claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.
13.Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dealer may, by prior notice to Counterparty, satisfy its obligation to deliver any Shares or other securities on any date due (an “Original Delivery Date”) by making separate deliveries of Shares or such securities, as the case may be, at more than one time on or prior to such Original Delivery Date, so long as the aggregate number of Shares and other securities so delivered on or prior to such Original Delivery Date is equal to the number required to be delivered on such Original Delivery Date.
14.Early Termination. In the event that an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to any Transaction (except as a result of a Merger Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash), if either party would owe any amount to the other party pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (any such amount, a “Payment Amount”), then, in lieu of any payment of such Payment Amount, Counterparty may, no later than the Early Termination Date or the date on which such Transaction is terminated, elect to deliver or for Dealer to deliver, as the case may be, to the other party a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Merger Event, a number of units, each comprising the number or amount of the securities or property that a hypothetical holder of one Share would receive in such Merger Event (each such unit, an “Alternative Delivery Unit” and, the securities or property comprising such unit, “Alternative Delivery Property”)) with a value equal to the Payment Amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent (and the parties agree that, in making such determination of value, the Calculation Agent may take into account a number of factors, including the market price of the Shares or Alternative Delivery Property on the date of early termination and, if such delivery is made by Dealer, the prices at which Dealer purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Property to fulfill its delivery obligations under this Section 14 assuming such purchases are made in a commercially reasonable manner and any hedge positions that are unwound are commercially reasonable
hedge positions); provided that in determining the composition of any Alternative Delivery Unit, if the relevant Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash; and provided further that Counterparty may make such election only if Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer in writing on the date it notifies Dealer of such election that, as of such date, Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information concerning the Shares and is making such election in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws. If such delivery is made by Counterparty, paragraphs 2 through 7 of Annex A shall apply as if such delivery were a settlement of the Transaction to which Net Share Settlement applied, the Cash Settlement Payment Date were the Early Termination Date and the Forward Cash Settlement Amount were zero (0) minus the Payment Amount owed by Counterparty.
15.Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that in calculating Close-Out Amount pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement Dealer may (but need not) determine such amount based on expected gains and losses assuming a commercially reasonable (including without limitation with regard to reasonable legal and regulatory guidelines) risk bid was used to determine gains and losses to avoid awaiting the delay associated with closing out any hedge or related trading position in a commercially reasonable manner prior to or promptly following the designation of an Early Termination Date.

Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transactions that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transactions.
19.Amendments to the Equity Definitions.

25.Tax.
(a)For the purposes of Section 3(f) of the Agreement:
(i)Dealer represents that it is a “U.S. person” (as that term is used in section 1.1441- 4(a)(3)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations), or a disregarded entity of such a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

i.In the event that Dealer becomes subject to a proceeding under (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”) the transfer from Dealer of this Master Confirmation, and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Master Confirmation, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the
U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Master Confirmation, and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Master Confirmation were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
ii.In the event that Dealer or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Rights (as defined in 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable (“Default Right”)) under this Master Confirmation that may be exercised against Dealer are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Master Confirmation were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)Limitation on Exercise of Certain Default Rights Related to an Affiliate’s Entry Into Insolvency Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Confirmation, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:

ii.Nothing in this Master Confirmation shall prohibit the transfer of any Affiliate Credit Enhancement, any interest or obligation in or under such Affiliate Credit Enhancement, or any property securing such Affiliate Credit Enhancement, to a transferee upon or following an Affiliate of Dealer becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, unless the transfer would result in the Counterparty being the beneficiary of such Affiliate Credit Enhancement in violation of any law applicable to the Counterparty.

U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. as of July 31, 2018 (the “ISDA U.S. Protocol”), the terms of such protocol shall be incorporated into and form a part of this Master Confirmation and the terms of the ISDA U.S. Protocol shall supersede and replace the terms of this section. For purposes of incorporating the ISDA U.S. Protocol, Dealer shall be deemed to be a Regulated Entity, Counterparty shall be deemed to be an Adhering Party, and this Master Confirmation shall be deemed to be a Protocol Covered Agreement.

hereby amended to include the foregoing provisions in this section, with references to “this Master Confirmation” being understood to be references to the applicable Preexisting In-Scope Agreement.

3.Counterparty may only deliver Registered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2
above if:
(a)a registration statement covering public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and been declared or otherwise become effective on or prior to the date of delivery, and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Registered Settlement Shares (including any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to Dealer, in such quantities as Dealer shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the date of delivery;
(b)the form and content of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be satisfactory to Dealer;
(c)as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and its agents shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and the results of such investigation are satisfactory to Dealer, in its reasonable discretion; and
(d)as of the date of delivery, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with Dealer in connection with the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, which Underwriting Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters.
4.If Counterparty delivers Unregistered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above:
(a)all Unregistered Settlement Shares shall be delivered to Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof;
(b)as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and any potential purchaser of any such shares from Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for private placements of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);
(c)as of the date of delivery, Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters, and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all fees and expenses in connection with such resale, including all fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, and shall contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales; and
(d)in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate), Counterparty shall, if so requested by Dealer, prepare, in cooperation with Dealer, a private placement memorandum in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer
5.Dealer, itself or through an affiliate (the “Selling Agent”) or any underwriter(s), will sell all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares and any Makewhole Shares (as defined below) (together, the “Settlement Shares”) delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to paragraph 6 below commencing on the Cash Settlement Payment Date and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by Dealer, is equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). If the proceeds of any sale(s) made by Dealer, the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s), net of any fees and commissions (including, without limitation, underwriting or placement fees) customary for similar transactions under the circumstances at the time of the offering, together with carrying charges and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (including, but without limitation to, the covering of any over-allotment or short position (syndicate or otherwise)) (the “Net Proceeds”) exceed the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, Dealer will refund, in USD, such excess to Counterparty on the date that is three
(3) Currency Business Days following the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Settlement Shares remains unsold, Dealer shall return to Counterparty on that date such unsold Shares.
6.If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares or any Makewhole Shares, if any, pursuant to this paragraph 6 are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (the amount in USD by which the Net Proceeds are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount being the “Shortfall” and the date on which such determination is made, the “Deficiency Determination Date”), Counterparty shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding the Deficiency Determination Date (the “Makewhole Notice Date”) deliver to Dealer, through the Selling Agent, a notice of Counterparty’s election that Counterparty shall either (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is one (1) Currency Business Day after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Counterparty elects to deliver to Dealer additional Shares, then Counterparty shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 3 or paragraph 4 above, as the case may be (the “Makewhole Shares”), on the first Clearance System Business Day which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Makewhole Notice Date in such number as the Calculation Agent reasonably believes would have a market value on that Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Makewhole Shares shall be sold by Dealer in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Makewhole Shares is less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount then Counterparty shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to Dealer further Makewhole Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero.
7.Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of Settlement Shares and Makewhole Shares be greater than the Reserved Shares minus the amount of any Shares actually
delivered by Counterparty under any other Transaction(s) under this Master Confirmation (the result of such calculation, the “Capped Number”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that a Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of Shares determined according to the following formula:
A – B
Where A = the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance on the date of the determination of the Capped Number; and
B = the maximum number of Shares required to be delivered to third parties if Counterparty elected Net Share Settlement of all transactions in the Shares (other than Transactions in the Shares under this Master Confirmation) with all third parties that are then currently outstanding and unexercised.
“Reserved Shares” means initially, 5,698,006 Shares.
