Disclosure 2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, such forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, should, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and uncertainties, they include, among others, the following: the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management may expose us to greater risks than intended; downgrades in the financial strength rating or outlook of our regulated insurance subsidiaries impacting our ability to attract and retain insurance business that our subsidiaries write, our competitive position, and our financial condition; the amount of the final post-closing adjustment to the purchase price received in connection with the sale of our casualty reinsurance business and outcome of litigation relating to such transaction; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees and our ability to attract and retain personnel; adverse economic factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in the frequency or severity of claims, or both; the impact of a higher than expected inflationary environment on our reserves, loss adjustment expenses, the values of our investments and investment returns, and our compensation expenses; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain, or decision to terminate, such relationships; our ability to obtain insurance and reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk, adequately protect our company against financial loss and that supports our growth plans; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims, insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims, or a former customer with whom we have an indemnification arrangement failing to perform its reimbursement obligations, and our potential inability to demand or maintain adequate collateral to mitigate such risks; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance law and regulations; changes in U.S. tax laws (including associated regulations) and the interpretation of certain provisions applicable to insurance/reinsurance businesses with U.S. and non-U.S. operations, which may be retroactive and could have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders; in the event we did not qualify for the insurance company exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and were therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation; the Company or its foreign subsidiary becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities; losses from catastrophic events, such as natural disasters and terrorist acts, which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents; our ability to manage our growth effectively; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends; and an adverse result in any litigation or legal proceedings we are or may become subject to. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, is contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G of the rules of the SEC. These non-GAAP measures, such as underwriting profit, adjusted net operating (loss) income, tangible equity, tangible common equity, tangible equity per share, and tangible common equity per common share are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide users of our financial information useful insight into our performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures.

12 Reinsurance Strategy Provides Meaningful Volatility Mitigation • The combination of limit profile, underwriting discipline and reinsurance strategy yields meaningful protection across our E&S book, most notably in our Excess Casualty sub segment. • 90% of our E&S policy counts have limits below $1 MM. • In excess casualty, 75% of our policy limits are $5 MM or less. • We have constructed a diverse panel of high-quality reinsurers to support the E&S segment in particular, a majority of which have supported us for many years. • 75% of the panel is rated A or better, and 100% at least A- or better. • In Casualty E&S, we cede a minimum of 30% to a maximum of 80% of the limit, depending upon the line of business. • Excess Casualty is at the higher end of this range with an average cession of 74%, or $4.4 MM. • Excess Casualty is at the lower end of the range with respect to the average net retention of 26%, or $1.6 MM. • We deploy both quota share and excess of loss structures. • Reduces the Company’s net exposure as policy limits increase. • Provides expansive access to reinsurance marketplace appetite - enabling both a balanced and stable purchasing strategy over time. • Protects the Company on a per risk basis in addition to aggregated protection. • Alongside a maturing enterprise risk management framework, numerous improvements in portfolio monitoring and proactive changes in underwriting appetite compliment the Company’s reinsurance purchasing strategy. • Our E&S product offering enables timely reaction to market shifts – facilitated by many feedback loops between claims, underwriting and actuarial to leverage this product flexibility – and continue to actively manage (and risk manage) our portfolio.


 
13 We Have Driven a Number of Defensive and Proactive Underwriting Actions Over the Last Three Years • Representative actions include – • Broad deployment of exclusions and sub-limits, such as Firearms, Cyber and Assault & Battery (A&B). • Revised underwriting guidelines and rates by geography and risk in several classes. • Exited more volatile classes such as RideShare, Fraternities and Firearm Manufacturing. • Meaningful reduction in commercial auto appetite. • Thoughtful use of reinsurance to minimize volatility. Deep and Broad Underwriting Actions Over The Past Three Years Significantly Increased Oversight and Pricing Granularity • The Chief Underwriting Officer, who joined in 2021 with over thirty years of experience at Allied World, Chubb and Everest, works closely with Segment leadership, Claims and Actuarial Pricing. • Willing to shed business to improve profitability. • Non-renewed several large accounts that did not meet our underwriting standards and ultimately impacted top line production by over $50 MM. • Amidst talent upgrades have established meaningful disciplined processes to build broad collaboration across Underwriting, Pricing and Claims and improve underwriting performance feedback loops. Early Results Are Positive • The Company has not yet incorporated early signs or “green shoots” from demonstrated underwriting actions into our assumptions for the most recent accident years. • Our expectation is that these actions should improve profitability over time.

Capital Position 17 Our strong balance sheet enables us to continue to capitalize on an extremely attractive P&C market. Commentary • Balance sheet characterized by low financial and operating leverage levels, securities that provide meaningful equity / rating agency credit, a high-quality investment portfolio, high rated reinsurers, and meaningful credit and collateral. • Actions taken over the last four years – and especially over the last quarter – add meaningful common equity to the balance sheet and provide significant adverse development capacity. • These actions position the business for strong and profitable growth, in order to generate a compelling and stable return on operating return on average common equity. • During the revaluation of the Series A Preferred Shares due to the Amendment announced in November 2024, $27 million was accounted for as a deemed dividend. This dynamic reduced tangible common equity per share by approximately $0.60. • Healthy operating and financial leverage ratios leave significant capacity for growth. $ and shares in millions, except per share figures.

E&S Legacy Reinsurance Agreements 18 The State National and Cavello Bay reinsurance agreements cover all E&S casualty reserves inclusive of accident years 2010 through 2023, except those related to the Uber/Raiser LPT. In-the-Money Ceded Reserves $307.1 MM Ground-Up Retention $716.6 MM ADC Limit $160.0 MM $1,023.7 MM Subject Reserves $1,183.7 MM $716.6 MM Retention C o n s id e ra ti o n James River Retains 15% Co-participation ADC Limit $75.0 MM $1,258.7 MM Note that the Company purchases a significant amount of third party reinsurance to manage its exposed limit and catastrophe risk. As a result of this, the E&S segment retention is 46%. This includes total exposure to any one primary casualty claim of $690,000 and $1.98 million for any one excess casualty claim. It also purchases $20 million of limit in property catastrophe reinsurance (or, at the 1: 1,000 level), limiting retained limit per event to $5 million). All third party reinsurance inures to the benefit of these LPTs. Consideration $116.2 million of gross aggregate limit remains across the two agreements These agreements allow us the time and flexibility to be patient with accident year loss ratios, and provide cover for over 90% of our total E&S IBNR. The $116.2 million would be equivalent to increasing subject reserve IBNR by 20.4%, or increasing the remaining E&S subject reserve base by 13.3%. $6.2 million in co-participation exposure remains in the event we incurred $116.2 million in adverse development.

Appendix: Underwriting Performance Ratios & Non-GAAP Reconciliation


 
Underwriting Performance Ratios 21 Source: Company filings. Note: During the fourth quarter of 2024, due to adverse trends on business subject to the commercial auto LPT agreement and the State National ADC agreement, the Company recognized adverse prior year development of $0.2 million and $29.5 million, respectively. The Company recorded retroactive reinsurance benefits of $2.8 million in loss and loss adjustment expenses and a deferred retroactive reinsurance gain of $38.0 million on the Balance Sheet. Note: The above table provides the underwriting performance ratios of the Company inclusive of the business subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting. There is no economic impact to the Company over the life of a retroactive reinsurance contract so long as any additional losses subject to the contract are within the limit of the contract and the counterparty performs under the contract. Retroactive reinsurance accounting is not indicative of our current and ongoing operations. Management believes that providing loss ratios and combined ratios on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting gives the users of our financial statements useful information in evaluating our current and ongoing operations. Note: Under the terms of the agreement, the commercial auto LPT is not subject to an aggregate limit.
