Item 3.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on October 23, 2023, Conifer Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the requirement of a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) of $5,000,000 for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C). As a result of the Approval (as defined below) of the transfer of the listing of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company has cured the MVPHS deficiency.

On March 19, 2024, the Company received approval from Nasdaq to transfer the listing of the Company’s Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Approval”). The Company’s Common Stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective as of the open of business on March 21, 2024, and continues to trade under the symbol “CNFR.” The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.

The Company’s 9.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market.
