Due to prevailing market conditions and the high value Tiptree Inc. (“Tiptree”) and Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”) place on The Fortegra Group, Inc. (“Fortegra”) and its growth prospects, Tiptree and Warburg have decided to withdraw the registration statement relating to the previously announced initial public offering by Fortegra. Tiptree and Warburg remain committed to supporting Fortegra as it continues to execute its growth strategy.

Fortegra has withdrawn its Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC, and no securities have been sold in connection with the offering described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1.

On February 7, 2024, Fortegra issued a press release in connection with Fortegra’s Registration Statement on Form S-1. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto is not a part of this current report on Form 8-K. The information contained in this Item 7.01, including the information contained in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
