(unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Atlas” or “We” or the “Company”) commenced operations on December 31, 2010. The primary business of Atlas focuses on a managing general agency strategy, primarily through our wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Group Management, Inc. (“AGMI”). AGMI focuses on a niche market orientation for the “light” commercial automobile sector. This sector includes taxi cabs, non-emergency para-transit, limousine, livery, including certain transportation network companies (“TNC”) drivers/operators, and business autos. Automobile insurance products provide insurance coverage in three major areas: liability, accident benefits and physical damage.
Atlas’ business is carried out through its non-insurance company subsidiaries: AGMI, UBI Holdings Inc. (“UBI Holdings”) and UBI Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiaries, optOn Digital IP Inc. (“OOIP”) and optOn Insurance Agency Inc. (“optOn” and together with OOIP and UBI Holdings, “UBI”).
Prior to a strategic transition, our core business was the underwriting of commercial automobile insurance policies, focusing on the “light” commercial automobile sector, through American Country Insurance Company (“American Country”), American Service Insurance Company, Inc. (“American Service”) and Gateway Insurance Company (“Gateway” and together with American Country and American Service, the “ASI Pool Companies”) and Global Liberty Insurance Company of New York (“Global Liberty” and together with the ASI Pool Companies, our “Insurance Subsidiaries”), along with our wholly owned managing general agency, AGMI. The ASI Pool Companies were placed into rehabilitation under the statutory control of the Illinois Department of Insurance during the second half of 2019 and were subsequently placed into liquidation and have been deconsolidated from our consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2019 as a result of these actions. Other regulatory actions were taken in certain states, including restriction, suspension, or revocation of certain state licenses and certificates of authority held by the ASI Pool Companies preceding and following the initiation of rehabilitation.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began actively pursuing the potential sale of Global Liberty Insurance Company of New York (“Global Liberty”), and as a result, Global Liberty has been classified as a discontinued operation since October 1, 2019.
Atlas’ ordinary common shares are listed on the OTC Markets system under the symbol “AFHIF”.
Basis of Presentation
These statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlas and the entities it controls. Equity investments in entities that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have significant influence and partnership and partnership-like entities in which we have more than minor influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value option. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Atlas’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. Atlas has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented.
5

Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in estimates are recorded in the accounting period in which they are determined. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include revenue recognition, evaluation of assets for impairment, deferred tax asset valuation, and allowances on premiums receivable.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from contracts with customers include both commission and fee income. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessments of individual contract terms. As a managing general agency (an “MGA”), AGMI has contracts with various insurance carriers which determines AGMI’s commission income revenue. Each contract specifies what our performance obligations are as an MGA and what determines our commission income revenue, generally a percentage of gross written premiums, net of cancellations and refunds. Under these contracts there are a number of performance obligations; however, it is the bundle of these services and not a single obligation that results in the performance of the MGA under the contracts. The Company considers these performance obligations as a non-bifurcated bundle of services where the performance obligations are satisfied simultaneous to the point in time where the Company issues a policy, or cancels a policy to an insured. The commission rate stated in the individual contract is the standalone selling price of these non-bifurcated services, which is allocated to the service bundle and not to any individual obligation under the various contracts.
Seasonality
The property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance business is seasonal in nature. Our ability to generate commission income is also impacted by the timing of policy effective periods in the states in which we operate and products provided by our business partners. For example, January 1st and March 1st are common taxi cab renewal dates in Illinois and New York, respectively.
Operating Segments
The Company operates in one business segment, the Managing General Agency segment.
2. New Accounting Standards
There have been no recent pronouncements or changes in pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, that are of significance or potential significance to Atlas. Pertinent Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) are issued from time to time by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by the Company as they become effective. All recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to July 1, 2021 have been adopted by the Company.

Common shares are defined as ordinary voting common shares, restricted voting common shares and participative restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Earnings per common share diluted is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting dilutive potential ordinary voting common shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Atlas’ potential dilutive ordinary voting common shares consists of outstanding stock options to purchase ordinary voting common shares and warrants to purchase 2,387,368 ordinary voting common shares of Atlas for $0.69 per share.
Atlas’ dilutive potential ordinary voting common shares consist of outstanding stock options to purchase ordinary voting common shares. The effects of these convertible instruments are excluded from the computation of earnings per common share diluted from continuing operations in periods in which the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, all exercisable stock options were deemed to be anti-dilutive.
5. Contracts with Customers
The revenue included as commission income was $1.8 million and $951,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.5 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During 2013 and 2019, due to shareholder activity, “triggering events” as determined under IRC Section 382 may have occurred. As a result, under IRC Section 382, the use of the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) and other carryforwards generated prior to the “triggering events” may be subject to a yearly limitation as a result of this “ownership change” for tax purposes, which is defined as a cumulative change of more than 50% during any three-year period by shareholders owning 5% or greater portions of the Company’s shares. Due to the mechanics of the Section 382 calculation when there are multiple triggering events, the Company’s losses will generally be limited based on the thresholds of the 2019 triggering event. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the NOLs that will expire unused as a result of the yearly limitation.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized. When considering the extent of the valuation allowance on Atlas’ deferred tax assets, weight is given by management to both positive and negative evidence. GAAP states that a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome in determining that a valuation allowance is not needed against deferred tax assets. Based on Atlas’ cumulative loss in recent years and certain deferred tax assets subject to a yearly limitation under Section 382 which will likely result in expiration before utilization, Atlas has recorded a valuation allowance of $34.8 million and $33.4 million for its gross future deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Atlas accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the income taxes accounting guidance. Atlas has analyzed filing positions in the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file tax returns, as well as the open tax years in these jurisdictions. Atlas believes that its federal and state income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain federal and state income tax positions have been recorded. Atlas would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for federal income taxes. Atlas did not incur any federal income tax related interest income, interest expense or penalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Tax year 2017 and years thereafter are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).
7. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of its business, Atlas is involved in legal proceedings, including lawsuits, regulatory examinations and inquiries.
Atlas is exposed to credit risk on balances receivable from insureds and agents. Credit exposure to any one individual insured is not material. The policies placed with risk taking partners are distributed by agents who may manage cash collection on its behalf pursuant to the terms of their agency agreement. Atlas has procedures to monitor and minimize its exposure to delinquent agent balances, including, but not limited to, reviewing agent account statements, processing policy cancellations for non-payment and other collection efforts deemed appropriate.

During 2016, Atlas purchased a building and land to serve as its new corporate headquarters to replace its former leased office space. Atlas’ Chicago area staff moved into this space in late October 2017 and occupies approximately 70,000 square feet in the building. An unrelated tenant occupies the remaining office space in the building. Rental income related to this lease agreement was $119,000 and $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $238,000 and $230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Depreciation expense related to the building and its improvements was $0 and $284,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $284,000 and $549,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense for its corporate headquarters is a result of the held for sale status of the corporate headquarters.
On April 1, 2021, the Company transitioned the assets related to its corporate headquarters from long-lived asset as held and used to long-lived assets held for sale. The Company has engaged an independent third party which is actively marketing the sale of the corporate headquarters including the land, building, building improvements and contents including furniture and fixtures and a sale is expected to close within one year from the classification transition date. The assets transferred totaled $13.0 million which were previously classified as property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and now included as part of assets held for sale. The Company performed an evaluation of the net book value of the assets and recorded an impairment of $1.5 million which is recorded as part of net realized losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Realized gains on disposals of fixed assets totaled $0 and $12,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. There were no losses on disposals of fixed assets for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
9. Share-Based Compensation
On January 6, 2011, Atlas adopted a stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) in order to advance the interests of Atlas by providing incentives to eligible persons defined in the plan. In the second quarter of 2013, a new equity incentive plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) was approved by the Company’s common shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, and Atlas ceased to grant new stock options under the preceding Stock Option Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is a securities based compensation plan, pursuant to which Atlas may issue restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, restricted stock, stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, stock options and other forms of equity incentives to eligible persons as part of their compensation. The Equity Incentive Plan is considered an amendment and restatement of the Stock Option Plan, although outstanding stock options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan.

There are 401,500 stock options that are exercisable as of June 30, 2021. The stock option grants outstanding have a weighted average remaining life of 6.22 years and have a fair value of $0 as of June 30, 2021.
On March 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of Atlas granted equity awards of (i) 200,000 restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares of the Company and (ii) 200,000 options to acquire ordinary voting common shares to the executive officers of the Company as part of the Company’s annual compensation process. The awards were made under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. The awards vest in five equal annual installments of 20%, provided that an installment shall not vest unless an annual performance target based on specific book value growth rates linked to return on equity goals is met. In the event the performance target is not met in any year, the 20% installment for such year shall not vest, but such non-vested installment shall carry forward and can become vested in future years (up to the fifth year from the date of grant), subject to achievement in a future year of the applicable performance target for such year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no shares of either of the restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares or the options to acquire ordinary voting common shares vested due to not meeting annual performance targets. During the first quarter of 2020, 140,000 of the option awards were canceled as a result of not meeting the annual performance targets. Also during the first quarter of 2020, an additional 53,500 options were canceled due to the departure of a former officer. The Monte-Carlo simulation model was used, for both the options and restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, to estimate the fair value of compensation expense as a result of the performance based component of these grants. Utilizing the Monte-Carlo simulation model, the fair values were $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the options and restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, respectively. This expense will be amortized over the anticipated vesting period.
On April 22, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,016,000 options (“Options”) with an exercise price of $0.49 per common share of the Company to directors, managers, and executives pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. This exercise price is the average of the high bid and low asked prices on the date of the grant quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board Service. The Options granted to management shall vest in three equal installments, with each installment vesting on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversary of the date of the grant. The Options granted to independent directors vested immediately upon the date of the grant. The Options will expire on the 7th anniversary of the date of the grant. In the event of a change of control of the Company, or should a director’s or employee’s service with the Company be terminated other than for cause or voluntary resignation, any unvested Options will immediately vest. The estimated fair values of the Options are amortized to expense over the Options’ vesting period. The Company estimated the fair value of the Options at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
2021
Expected risk-free interest rate 1.6  %
Volatility 180.8  %
Expected life (in years) 7.0
On December 31, 2018, the Company awarded restricted stock unit grants for ordinary voting common shares of the Company to its external directors pursuant to a director equity award agreement dated December 31, 2018. The awards, which were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2018, were valued at $40,000 per external director (“Aggregate Award”) and were made under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. The number of restricted stock units awarded was determined by dividing (A) the Aggregate Award by (B) the closing price of a Company ordinary voting common share at the close of market on April 4, 2018, which was $10.50 per share. For new directors, the Aggregate Award is proportionate to the director’s start date and priced as of that same day. During 2018, the Company awarded 17,524 RSU grants having an aggregate grant date fair value of $179,000. As of June 30, 2021, all of the RSU grants have vested.

In accordance with ASC 718 (Stock-Based Compensation), Atlas has recognized share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award. Share-based compensation expense is a component of other underwriting expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Atlas recognized $156,000 and $16,000 in share-based compensation expense, including income tax expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $166,000 and $195,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, there was no unrecognized total compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units for ordinary voting common shares.
10. Other Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plan
Atlas has a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering all qualified employees of Atlas and its subsidiaries. Contributions to this plan are limited based on IRS guidelines. Atlas may match up to 100% of the employee contribution up to 2.5% of annual earnings, plus 50% of additional contributions up to 2.5% of annual earnings, for a total maximum expense of 3.75% of annual earnings per participant. Atlas’ matching contributions are discretionary. Employees are 100% vested in their own contributions and vest in Atlas contributions based on years of service equally over 5 years with 100% vested after 5 years. Company contributions were $0 and $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0 and $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The matching portion of this plan was suspended during the third quarter of 2020.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Atlas Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) encourages employee interest in the operation, growth and development of Atlas and provides an additional investment opportunity to employees. Full time and permanent part time employees working more than 30 hours per week are allowed to invest up to 7.5% of adjusted salary in Atlas ordinary voting common shares. Atlas may match up to 100% of the employee contribution up to 2.5% of annual earnings, plus 50% of additional contributions up to 5% of annual earnings, for a total maximum expense of 5% of annual earnings per participant. Atlas’ matching contributions are discretionary. Atlas also pays all administrative costs related to this plan. Atlas’ costs incurred related to the matching portion of the ESPP were $0 and $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0 and $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The matching portion of this plan was suspended during the third quarter of 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 54,041 ordinary voting common shares of which 50,740 ordinary voting common shares were issued under the near term incentive program while 3,301 ordinary voting common shares were issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 210,481 ordinary voting common shares of which 202,100 ordinary voting common shares were issued under the near term incentive program while 8,381 ordinary voting common shares were issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2020, 140,000 ordinary voting restricted common shares were canceled due to not meeting performance targets, and 20,000 ordinary voting restricted common shares were canceled due to the departure of a former officer.
Warrants
The Schedule 13G/A filed by American Financial Group, Inc. a parent holding company, on February 2, 2021 states that as of December 31, 2020, it has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of 2,387,368 ordinary voting common shares. These shares are represented by warrants to purchase 2,387,368 ordinary voting common shares until June 10, 2024, under a Warrant Agreement dated June 10, 2019 (the “Warrant Agreement”), at an initial exercise price of $0.69 per share, with both the number of ordinary voting common shares subject to the Warrant Agreement and the exercise price subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
Mezzanine Equity
There were no preferred shares outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
12. Leases
We currently lease real estate space, automobiles, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are immaterial to the Company, are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease, such as increases to lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
Certain agreements include an option to extend or renew the lease term at our option. The operating lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising those options. Lease payments are discounted using the implicit discount rate in the lease. If the implicit discount rate for the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company uses an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate. The Company did not have any contracts accounted for as finance leases as of June 30, 2021 or 2020.

13. Related Party Transactions
During the year-ended December 31, 2020, a portion of Global Liberty’s investment portfolio, which is included in “Assets held for sale” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, included investment vehicles that were considered related-party transactions. As of December 31, 2020, these related-party transactions made up approximately 22.5%, of the Company’s investment portfolio. In these transactions, one or more of the Company’s former directors or entities affiliated with such directors invest in and/or manage these vehicles.  These related-party transactions are consistent with the Company’s investment guidelines and have been reviewed and approved by the Investment Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. With the retirement of these former directors from the Atlas Board of Directors during 2020, these investments are no longer considered related-party transactions.

14. Notes Payable
On April 26, 2017, Atlas issued $25 million of five-year 6.625% senior unsecured notes and received net proceeds of approximately $23.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable quarterly on each January 26, April 26, July 26 and October 26. Atlas may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of April 26, 2020, and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the senior unsecured notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The senior unsecured notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of Atlas’ existing and future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes will rank equally in right of payment to all of Atlas’ existing and future senior indebtedness, but will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness. In addition, the senior unsecured notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other obligations of Atlas’ subsidiaries.
The senior unsecured notes were issued under an indenture and supplemental indenture that contain covenants that, among other things, limit: (i) the ability of Atlas to merge or consolidate, or lease, sell, assign or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; (ii) the ability of Atlas to sell or otherwise dispose of the equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries; (iii) the ability of certain of Atlas’ subsidiaries to issue equity securities; (iv) the ability of Atlas to permit certain of its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, or lease, sell, assign or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (v) the ability of Atlas and its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries.
On November 10, 2016, American Insurance Acquisition, Inc. (“AIAI”) entered into a ten-year 5.0% fixed rate mortgage agreement with the Insurance Subsidiaries totaling $10.7 million with principal and interest payments due monthly. The mortgage rate is secured by the Company’s headquarters and was previously eliminated in consolidation. The amounts payable as of June 30, 2021 are due to the estates of the ASI Pool Companies.
On May 1, 2020, AIAI entered into a Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note (the "PPP Note") with respect to a loan of $4,600,500 (the "PPP Loan") from Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third”). The PPP Loan was obtained pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The PPP Loan had a maturity date of May 1, 2022 and interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. On June 14, 2021, AIAI received notification from the SBA that the PPP Loan principal and related interest has been forgiven.
On February 7, 2021, AIAI entered into a Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note with respect to a loan of $2,000,000 (the “Second PPP Loan”) from Fifth Third. The Second PPP Loan was obtained pursuant to the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program Second Draw Loans under the Small Business Act (“SB Act”) and is subject to the terms and conditions of the SB Act, the CARES Act and related legislation and regulations (the “PPP Rules”). The Company was eligible for this Second PPP Loan because our equity securities are not a National Markets System stock traded on a national securities exchange as defined by Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Second PPP Loan matures on February 7, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. The Company will not be obligated to make any payments of principal or interest if the Company submits a loan forgiveness application to Fifth Third within 10 months after the end of the Company’s covered loan forgiveness period (as defined and interpreted by the PPP Rules) and such loan forgiveness is allowed. If the Company does not submit a loan forgiveness application within 10 months after the end of the Company’s loan forgiveness covered period (or such forgiveness is not allowed), the Company must begin paying principal and interest after that period (or after notice that such forgiveness is not allowed).
Interest expense on notes payable was $514,000 and $571,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

15. Deconsolidation and Discontinued Operations
Deconsolidation
As part of the deconsolidation of the ASI Pool Companies which occurred on October 1, 2019, notes receivable from the ASI Pool Companies with an outstanding principal and accrued interest balances of $18.0 million due to AIAI are presented on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. On May 1, 2015, AIAI entered into subordinated surplus debentures (“Surplus Notes”) with the ASI Pool Companies that had a maturity date of April 30, 2020 carrying a variable interest equal to the corporate base rate as reported by the largest bank (measured in assets) with its head office located in Chicago, Illinois, in effect on the first business day of each month for the term of the Surplus Notes plus two percent per annum on the unpaid principal balance with a maximum variable interest rate for any month not to exceed the initial rate for the Surplus Notes by more than ten percent per annum. These Surplus Notes are subject to various terms and conditions as set forth by the Illinois Department of Insurance and require prior written approval for the payment of interest and/or a reduction in principal. AIAI stopped accruing the interest receivable on these notes at their maturity date. These Surplus Notes could be used at some point by AIAI to offset future amounts payable due to the estates of the ASI Pool Companies related to income tax settlements and various other amounts due to the estates of the ASI Pool Companies that are in liquidation.
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began actively pursuing the potential sale of Global Liberty, and as a result, Global Liberty has been classified as a discontinued operation and the assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale and results of Global Liberty’s operations are reported separately for all periods presented. Global Liberty has not been sold within the one year guidance as set forth by ASC 205-20 (Discontinued Operations) to continue classifying Global Liberty as a discontinued operations. However, due to the confluence of events and circumstances beyond the Company’s control, ASC 205-20 provides for an exception to the one year guidance which the Company believes fits its situation. As a result of the Company applying the exception guidance, Global Liberty remains a discontinued operation as of June 30, 2021. The Company continues to move forward with the plans of selling Global Liberty pending certain regulatory and other matters that must occur prior to such sale.

16. Going Concern
Under ASC 205-40 (Going Concern), we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, our evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of our plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
In complying with the requirements under ASC 205-40 to complete an evaluation without considering mitigating factors, the Company considered several conditions or events including (1) uncertainty around the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and consolidated financial results, (2) the $25 million of Senior Unsecured Notes maturing on April 26, 2022, (3) recurring operating losses for fiscal periods through June 30, 2021, (4) the Company’s negative equity, and (5) the Company’s working capital limitations. The above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12-month period following the date of the issuance of the June 30, 2021 interim financial statements.
In performing the second step of this assessment, we are required to evaluate whether our plans to mitigate the conditions above alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Our future plans may potentially include, without limitation, one or more of the following: (1) securing incremental capital with the objective of potentially repurchasing some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a discount to par, in the open market or otherwise, (2) securing equity or debt capital in private or public transactions, or (3) offering to exchange some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes for debt, equity and/or other securities or other consideration, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The constraints and requirements related to the Company’s current senior notes coupled with market conditions could create limitations with respect to such alternatives.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company’s business development efforts. Management also believes the Company may need to raise additional capital for working capital purposes. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available through external sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material effect on the business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing shareholders. In the absence of the successful execution of one or more of the Company’s previously mentioned mitigating actions, we have therefore concluded there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through or beyond 12 months of the issue date of these interim financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our failure to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report. In this discussion and analysis, the term “common share” refers to the summation of ordinary voting common shares, restricted voting common shares and participative restricted stock units when used to describe earnings (loss) or book value per common share. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, except for amounts preceded by “C” as Canadian dollars, share and per share amounts.
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to the historical consolidated financial information, this report contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimates of future expenses, revenue and profitability; trends affecting financial condition, cash flows and results of operations; the availability and terms of additional capital; dependence on key suppliers and other strategic partners; industry trends; the competitive and regulatory environment; the successful integration of acquisitions; the impact of losing one or more senior executives or failing to attract additional key personnel; and other factors referenced in this report. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans,” “expects,” “is expected,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Atlas to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political, regulatory and social uncertainties.
Although Atlas has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this report, and Atlas disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty in them.
I. Company Overview
We are a technology and analytics driven financial services holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our primary business is generating, underwriting and servicing commercial automobile insurance policies in the United States, with a niche market orientation and focus on insurance for the “light” commercial automobile sector.
Our business currently focuses on a managing general agency strategy. Primarily through our wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Group Management, Inc. (“AGMI”), we are focused on maintaining and recapturing business we have historically written in the taxi, livery/limo, paratransit and transportation network company sectors as well as generating new business that fits our current underwriting parameters. We are also actively pursuing additional programs in the “light” commercial auto space where we believe our expertise, infrastructure and insurance technology will enable us to increase scale and profitability, but there can be no assurance that these programs will materialize. We believe that the specialized infrastructure and technology platforms we have developed over the years to support our traditional business will enable us to provide comparative advantages as a managing general agency in other commercial auto segments. In particular, we believe our ability to efficiently manage large numbers of small or highly transactional accounts through our technology platform and workflows is a differentiator. We are also evaluating opportunities to leverage our optOnTM insuretech platform, which was developed to provide micro-duration commercial automobile insurance for gig-economy drivers via a proprietary mobile app based ecosystem.

Table of Contents
The sector on which we traditionally focused included taxi cabs, non-emergency para-transit, limousine, livery, including certain full-time transportation network company (“TNC”) drivers/operators, and business auto. Our goal is to always be the preferred specialty insurance business in any markets where our value proposition delivers benefit to all stakeholders. AGMI distributes our products through a network of independent retail agents and actively wrote insurance in 41 states and the District of Columbia during 2020. We embrace continuous improvement, analytics and technology as a means of building on the strong heritage our subsidiary companies cultivated in the niche markets we serve.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
We generate commission revenue from selling insurance policies in the commercial auto markets on behalf of our insurance carrier partners, which compensate us through first year and renewal commissions. We use our proprietary technology and processes to generate and obtain consumer leads and allocate those leads to agents whom we believe are best suited for those consumers. As a result, one of the primary factors affecting our growth is our total number of agents, comprised of both existing core agents and the number of new agents that we contract to sell new policies. We view agents as a critical component of helping consumers through the purchasing process to enable them to identify the most appropriate coverage that suits their needs. Through our years of experience, we have expanded our recruiting efforts and enhanced our training programs, both of which have allowed us to expand our agent force. We have also developed proprietary technologies and processes that enable us to expand our lead acquisition efforts to maintain agent productivity.
The amount of revenue we expect to recognize is based on multiple factors, including our commission rates with our insurance carrier partners and the market demand for the types of products we offer. The higher our submission volume and hit ratios on new policies and the higher our retention ratios on our renewal policies, the more revenue we expect to generate. Additionally, we may earn certain volume and underwriting profit based compensation from some unrelated risk taking partners, which can include a renewal rights component. Our goal is to maximize policyholder lifetime value by optimizing efficiency and scale, which starts by providing consumers with a transparent, valuable and best-in-class consumer experience by endeavoring to support our distribution channel effectively and providing insurance solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers.
Recent Events
In March 2020, the World Health Organization formally declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. With social distancing measures that have been implemented to curtail the spread of the virus, we enacted a robust business continuity plan, including a work-from-home policy for all our employees. We believe our technology platform and pre-existing remote agent capabilities have allowed for a seamless transition to a remote working environment and that our technology platforms continue to provide agents with tools and company contacts necessary to quote our products to our markets.
COVID-19 has dramatically reduced the addressable market. At the time of filing, it is difficult to estimate the near and longer-term impact on market size and potential revenue, and the impact of COVID-19 on our customers appears to have resulted in an approximate reduction of trips and vehicles in operation in the range of 34% to as much as 78% as compared to the same periods of 2019. This directly impacts our revenue and the ability to generate new business.
The Company’s current strategy focuses on AGMI’s managing general agency operation as the primary go-forward business. During 2019 and 2020, we worked with insurance regulators and advisors to evaluate and take steps intended to achieve the best outcome for stakeholders in connection with our Insurance Subsidiaries pursuant to regulatory actions. As a result of management no longer having financial control of the ASI Pool Companies, they have been deconsolidated from our results since October 1, 2019 while Global Liberty has been classified as discontinued operations since October 1, 2019. The metrics discussed in the following MD&A have changed as a result of the deconsolidation of the ASI Pool Companies and classification of Global Liberty as a discontinued operation.

Revenues
Our commission and fee income is derived from policies and premium produced by AGMI on behalf of unrelated strategic risk-taking partners (“insurance carrier partners”). Our underwriting approach is to price our products with the objective of generating underwriting profit for the insurance companies with whom we partner. The Company’s philosophy is to prioritize the improvement in profit margin over top line growth. As with all P&C insurance businesses, the impact of price changes, other underwriting activities and market conditions is reflected in our financial results over time. Underwriting changes on our in-force policies occur as they are renewed. This cycle generally takes twelve months for our entire book of business and up to an additional twelve months to earn a full year of premium and recognize commissions at the renewal rate.
Expenses
Acquisition costs consist principally of brokerage and agent commissions paid to our external producers.
Other underwriting expenses consist primarily of personnel related expenses (including salaries, benefits and certain costs associated with awards under our equity compensation plans, such as share-based compensation expense) and other general operating expenses incurred primarily in connection with our MGA and holding company operations. Of the $3.6 million and $7.1 million of other underwriting expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, approximately $2.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to the continuing operations of AGMI (which included non-cash depreciation and amortization of $206,000 and $419,000, respectively). The remaining $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, relates to the Company’s headquarters building, which is classified as held for sale, and other holding company expenses. We believe that because a portion of our personnel and other expenses are relatively fixed in nature, changes in premium production may impact our operating scale and operating expense ratios. Commissions and other fee related revenue were earned and recognized in connection with policies managed by AGMI.
Commission Income
AGMI earns commission for the sale of first year and renewal policies from our insurance carrier partners, which are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as commission revenue. Our contracts with our insurance carrier partners contain a commission percentage that is used to compute the total commission due per policy written. We also generate fee income in connection with individual policies as well as professional services provided to our business partners under contractual arrangements. Our commission revenue is recognized upon the sale or renewal of a policy. Certain of our contractual arrangements also include a profit related contingent commission component. After a policy is sold, we have policy management obligations to the policyholder and the insurance carrier partner, including, but not limited to, policy endorsements, policy cancellations and policy restatements. Therefore, we do incur additional expense related to our policy management requirements. Most costs associated with the sale of an individual policy are incurred prior to or at the time of the initial sale of an individual policy and are characterized in our financial statements as Other Underwriting Expenses.
Commission income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $1.8 million compared to $951,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was mainly attributed to the following:
$96,000 decrease in commission income related to the sale of renewal rights on large paratransit accounts in 2020, offset by:
$624,000 increase due to policy credits issued during Q2 2020 as part of COVID-19 state mandates and directives; and
$311,000 increase in commission income relating to new programs.
Commission income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $3.5 million compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was mainly attributed to the following:
$1.4 million decrease in commission income related to the sale of renewal rights on large paratransit accounts in 2020;
$1.2 million increase in commission income related to return premiums issued as part of the liquidation of the ASI Pool Companies during 2020;
$736,000 increase in commission income relating to new programs.

Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $955,000 compared to $466,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and represent commissions paid to retail agents who sell insurance policies. The increase in acquisition costs resulted from the increase in production of $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Acquisition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $1.8 million compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. While acquisition costs had a decrease between the six months ended June 30, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2020 the production increased approximately 2.2 million. The lower acquisition costs compared to higher production between periods is the result of a single policy which had a $3.1 million reduction on production for the six months ended June 30, 2020, but no associated acquisition costs.

Interest Expense, net
On April 26, 2017, Atlas issued $25.0 million of five-year 6.625% senior unsecured notes and received net proceeds of approximately $23.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Interest expense related to the senior unsecured notes was $470,000 and $940,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On November 10, 2016, AIAI entered into a ten-year 5.0% fixed rate mortgage agreement with the Insurance Subsidiaries totaling $10.7 million with principal and interest payments due monthly. Interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $82,000 and $167,000, respectively, compared to $93,000 and $187,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. On May 1, 2020, AIAI entered into a PPP Loan pursuant to the the CARES Act with an interest rate of 1.0% per annum. Interest income on the PPP Loan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $43,000 and $32,000, respectively, compared to interest expense of $8,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. On February 7, 2021, AIAI entered into the Second PPP Loan pursuant to the PPP Rules that bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Interest expense on the Second PPP Loan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $5,000 and $8,000, respectively. AIAI entered into subordinated surplus debentures (“Surplus Notes”) with the ASI Pool Companies in April 2015 that had a maturity date of April 30, 2020. Interest income related to the

Surplus Notes was $0 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $67,000 and $308,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Other Income
Atlas recorded other income of $925,000 and $327,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.6 million and $481,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase resulted from professional services income received by AGMI for each period.
Income Taxes
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Atlas recorded income tax expense of $0. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $227,000 and $123,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Atlas maintains a 100% valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax assets.
During 2013 and 2019, due to shareholder activity, “triggering events” as determined under IRC Section 382 occurred. As a result, under IRC Section 382, the use of the Company’s net operating loss and other carryforwards generated prior to the “triggering events” will be subject to a yearly limitation as a result of this “ownership change” for tax purposes, which is defined as a cumulative change of more than 50% during any three-year period by shareholders owing 5% or greater portions of the Company’s shares. Due to the mechanics of the Section 382 calculation, when there are multiple triggering events the Company’s losses will generally be limited based on the thresholds of the 2019 triggering event. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the NOLs that will expire unused as a result of the yearly limitation.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, Atlas considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets.
Positive evidence evaluated when considering the need for a valuation allowance includes:
current year profit;
management’s expectations of future profit; and
positive growth trends in gross premiums produced.
Negative evidence evaluated when considering the need for a valuation allowance includes:
net losses generated in the three most recent years; and
yearly limitation as required by IRC Section 382 on net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to 2013.
Net Loss and Loss per Common Share
Atlas had net income of $659,000 and net loss of $1.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to net loss of $4.7 million and net loss of $8.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Earnings per common share diluted was $0.06 and loss per common share diluted was $0.17 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to net loss per common share diluted of $0.39 and $0.66 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Management
The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure there is sufficient cash to meet all financial commitments and obligations as they become due. The liquidity requirements of Atlas’ business have been met primarily by funds generated from operations, asset maturities and income and other returns received on securities. Cash provided from these sources is used primarily for payment of claims, commissions and general expenses. The sources and uses of cash have changed as a result of the Company’s strategic shift from a traditional insurance carrier based operation to a managing general agency.
As a holding company, Atlas may derive cash from its subsidiaries generally in the form of dividends and in the future may charge management fees to the extent allowed by statute or other regulatory approval requirements to meet its obligations. AGMI funds its obligations primarily through commission revenue generated by the production of insurance premiums for related and third party entities. Global Liberty funds their obligations primarily through premiums collected, investment income and proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments and capital contributions from its parent. Global Liberty requires regulatory approval for the return of capital and, in certain circumstances, payment of dividends. In the event that dividends and management fees available to Atlas are inadequate to service its obligations, Atlas would need to raise capital, sell assets or incur debt obligations.
On April 26, 2017, Atlas issued $25 million of five-year 6.625% senior unsecured notes and received net proceeds of approximately $23.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable quarterly on each January 26, April 26, July 26 and October 26. Atlas may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of April 26, 2020, and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the senior unsecured notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The senior unsecured notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of Atlas’ existing and future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes will rank equally in right of payment to all of Atlas’ existing and future senior indebtedness, but will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness. In addition, the senior unsecured notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other obligations of Atlas’ subsidiaries. From time to time the Company may seek to repurchase Company debt through cash repurchases in the open market or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be on terms and prices determined by the Company and will depend upon market conditions, liquidity needs and other factors. The amount of such repurchases may be material.
The senior unsecured notes were issued under an indenture and supplemental indenture that contain covenants that, among other things, limit: (i) the ability of Atlas to merge or consolidate, or lease, sell, assign or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; (ii) the ability of Atlas to sell or otherwise dispose of the equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries; (iii) the ability of certain of Atlas’ subsidiaries to issue equity securities; (iv) the ability of Atlas to permit certain of its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, or lease, sell, assign or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (v) the ability of Atlas and its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries.

2021 2020
Net cash flows used in operating activities $ (8,779) $ (20,551)
Net cash flows provided by investing activities 2,892  6,542 
Net cash flows provided by financing activities 1,674  4,227 
Net decrease in cash $ (4,213) $ (9,782)
Cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $8.8 million, compared to $20.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted from the change in operating assets and liabilities used for managing general agency operations.
Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.9 million and resulted from the net sales and maturities of fixed income securities. Sales of investments were needed to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $6.5 million and resulted from the net sales and maturities of fixed income securities, the net sales of equity securities and other investments partially offset by the purchase of short-term investments and property and equipment purchases.
Cash provided in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was a result of the Company receiving a Second PPP Loan (see “Part I, Item 1, Note 14, Notes Payable”) offset by mortgage payments made to the ASI Pool Companies. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was cash provided from a PPP Loan offset by cash used for mortgage payments to the ASI Pool Companies.
Capital Resources
The Company manages capital using both regulatory capital measures and internal metrics. The Company’s capital is primarily derived from common shareholders’ equity, retained deficit and accumulated other comprehensive income.
As a holding company, Atlas may derive cash from its subsidiaries generally in the form of dividends to meet its obligations, which will primarily consist of operating expense payments and debt payments. Atlas subsidiaries fund their obligations primarily through commission and fee income.

Atlas did not declare or pay any dividends to its common shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Ability to Meet Financial Obligations
As discussed in greater detail in “Part I, Item 1, Note 16”, Going Concern, there is substantial doubt about whether the Company will have sufficient capital to operate through or beyond 12 months of the issue date of these interim financial statements unless the Company is successful in taking certain mitigating action (see Part I, Item 1, Note 16).
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to the application of critical accounting estimates and policies that were discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, see the notes to the consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 5, 2018, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting claims under the federal securities laws against the Company and two of its executive officers on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s securities, styled Fryman v. Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc., et al., No. 1:18-cv-01640 (N.D. Ill.). Plaintiffs filed amended complaints on July 30, 2018, April 9, 2019, and June 12, 2019. In the third amended complaint, the plaintiffs asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder on behalf of a putative class consisting of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 22, 2017 and April 30, 2019, alleging that the defendants made allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the adequacy of the Company’s insurance reserves. 
Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint, which the Court granted, with leave to amend, in an opinion and order entered on May 26, 2020.  In its opinion, the Court held that plaintiffs had failed to adequately allege any false or misleading misstatement of material fact concerning the Company’s insurance reserves and failed to allege facts that would support the required strong inference of scienter. Plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint on June 30, 2020, in which the claims asserted are substantially similar to those asserted in the third amended complaint.  Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the fourth amended complaint on August 17, 2020. Briefing was completed on November 2, 2020.
In addition, in connection with our operations, we are, from time to time, named as defendants in actions for damages and costs allegedly sustained by plaintiffs in connection with claims against the insurance policies we underwrite. While it is not possible to estimate the outcome of the various proceedings at this time, such actions have generally been resolved with minimal damages or expense in excess of amounts provided, and the Company does not believe that it will incur any significant additional loss or expense in connection with such actions.

The Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares and Restricted Voting Common Shares of the Company shall have the following rights, preferences, privileges and be subject to the following restrictions: 10.1 Dividend Rights. Dividends on Preferred Shares shall begin to accrue on a daily basis at the prorated annual rate of US$0.045 per share of Preferred Shares (as such dollar amount is adjusted for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications and the like) from the date on which the Company issues its first Preferred Share and shall be cumulative. The holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive annual dividends or distributions, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to pay dividends on the Preferred Shares to each holder of Preferred Shares pro rata in additional Preferred Shares with a value equal to the amount of the dividends, provided to the extent the Company does not pay a dividend on the Preferred Shares in cash or in additional shares, the dividend shall accrue and accumulate compounded yearly whether or not such dividend was declared. No dividends shall be paid on any Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares during any fiscal year of the Company until dividends in the amount as specified herein on the Preferred Shares shall have been paid or declared and set apart during that fiscal year and any prior year in which dividends accumulated but remain unpaid. The holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to the greater of the dividend on the Ordinary Shares and the Preferred Shares in that fiscal year. The Restricted Voting Common Shares shall rank equally with the Ordinary Shares as to dividends on a share-for-share basis and all dividends shall be declared in equal or equivalent amounts per share on all Ordinary Shares and Restricted Voting Common Shares without preference or distinction. 10.2 Liquidation Rights. (a) Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (collectively, a “Liquidation”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to any of the holders of the Restricted Voting Common Shares or the Ordinary Shares, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, an amount in cash or kind for each Preferred Share held by them (the “Liquidation Amount”) equal to the greater of: (i) US$1.00 per Preferred Share (as such amount shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the amount payable to the holder thereof upon a Liquidation if the Preferred Share had been converted to Restricted Voting EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
Common Shares or Ordinary Shares, as applicable in accordance with the terms hereof immediately prior to the Liquidation. (b) Pro Rata Distribution. If, upon any Liquidation, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay the Liquidation Amount, including without limitation all declared and unpaid dividends on Preferred Shares, in full to all holders of Preferred Shares, then the net assets of the Company shall be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Shares ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled and such distributions may be made in cash or in property taken at its fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), or both, at the election of the Board of Directors. (c) Distributions in Excess of Liquidation Amount. After payment in full of the Liquidation Amount, including without limitation all declared and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Ordinary Shares and the Restricted Voting Common Shares. The holders of the Restricted Voting Common Shares and the Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu. 10.3 Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required under the Law, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company, but (for the avoidance of doubt) may vote at a separate class meeting convened in accordance with these Articles. The holders of the Ordinary Shares shall have the right to receive notice of, attend at and vote at any general meeting of the Company. The holders of the Restricted Voting Common Shares have the right to receive notice of, attend at and vote as a Shareholder at any general meeting of the Company, PROVIDED THAT if the number of outstanding Restricted Voting Common Shares exceeds 30% of the total number of all issued and outstanding Voting Shares of the Company, the votes attached to each Restricted Voting Common Share will decrease automatically without further act or formality to equal the maximum permitted vote per Restricted Voting Common Share such that the Restricted Voting Common Shares as a class shall not carry more than 30% of the Aggregate Votes. 10.4 Redemption Rights. (a) Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem all or any of the outstanding Preferred Shares at any time or times at a redemption price equal to US$1.00 per share, payable in cash plus all accrued and unpaid dividends calculated to the redemption date, whether or not such dividends have been declared, commencing on the earlier of (i) two years after their date of issuance and (ii) the date the Preferred Share is transferred to a party such that the Preferred Share ceases to be beneficially owned or controlled directly or indirectly by Kingsway Financial Services Inc. or Kingsway America Inc. (and, for this purpose, such Preferred Share is also not held EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
directly or indirectly by a partnership, corporation or other entity in which Kingsway Financial Services Inc. or Kingsway America Inc. holds, directly or indirectly, ten percent (10%) or more of the capital, profits, value or voting interests). The Company shall give at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to each holder whose Preferred Shares are to be so redeemed. In the event that less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, unless otherwise agreed to by the holders of 100% of the then outstanding Preferred Shares in writing, the Company shall select those shares to be redeemed from each holder of Preferred Shares pro rata, in proportion to the number of Preferred Shares held by such holders. (b) Status of Reacquired Stock. Preferred Shares that have been issued and purchased or redeemed in any manner shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands) have the status of authorized and unissued Preferred Shares undesignated as to series and, subject to the other provisions of these Articles, may be redesignated and reissued. 10.5 Conversion Rights. The holders of Shares shall have conversion rights as follows: (a) Each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time or from time to time after the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the first issuance date of any Preferred Share, at the office of the Company or the Transfer Agent, into such number of fully paid and non- assessable Restricted Voting Common Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of the Preferred Shares by the “Conversion Factor” at the time in effect for such share. The initial Conversion Factor per share for Preferred Shares shall be equal to 0.3808; provided, however, that such Conversion Factor shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the disposition of a Preferred Share such that the Preferred Share ceases to be beneficially owned or controlled directly or indirectly by Kingsway Financial Services Inc. or Kingsway America Inc. (and, for this purpose, such Preferred Share is also not held directly or indirectly by a partnership, corporation or other entity in which Kingsway Financial Services Inc. or Kingsway America Inc. holds, directly or indirectly, ten percent (10%) or more of the capital, profits, value or voting interests) such Preferred Share shall be convertible into Ordinary Shares rather than Restricted Voting Common Shares pursuant to the terms of this Article 10.5. (b) Adjustments. The Conversion Factor of the Preferred Shares as described in Article 10.5(a) above shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) In the event of (i) the issuance of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on the Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares; (ii) the subdivision or combination of the Ordinary Shares or Restricted EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
Voting Common Shares; (iii) the issuance to holders of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares of rights or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares; or (iv) the distribution to holders of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares of Shares (other than Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares, respectively), evidences of indebtedness of the Company or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities, then, as a condition of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or issuance, the Conversion Factor shall be equitably adjusted to provide for the issuance (upon subsequent conversion) of an equal amount of additional Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares or other assets, rights, warrants or other securities as if the Preferred Shares had been converted at that time. (ii) Subject to Article 10.5(b)(i) above, if any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any Sale or Merger (as hereinafter defined) of the Company shall be effected in such a way that holders of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares shall be entitled to receive capital stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, Sale or Merger, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby each holder of a share or Preferred Shares shall thereafter, upon conversion, have the right to receive such shares of capital stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares, as applicable into which the Preferred Shares held at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, Sale or Merger is convertible. For purposes hereof, a “Sale or Merger” of the Company shall mean (i) the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (ii) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by way of merger or consolidation resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its parent or subsidiary. Subject to Article 10.5(b)(i) above, in the event of any such reorganization, reclassification, Sale or Merger, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares, other securities, or property thereafter receivable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. An adjustment made pursuant to this EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
subparagraph (ii) shall become effective at the time at which such reclassification, recapitalization, Sale or Merger becomes effective. (iii) In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other entities or persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other entities or persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Article 10.5(b)(i) or (ii) above, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares into which their Preferred Shares are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution or if no such record date is fixed, as of the date such distribution is made. (iv) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Factor pursuant to this Article 10.5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Factor in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. (c) Procedures for Conversion. (i) In order to exercise conversion rights pursuant to Article 10.5(a) above, the holder of the Preferred Shares to be converted shall deliver an irrevocable written notice of such exercise to the Company, at the office of the Transfer Agent. The holder of any Preferred Shares shall, upon any conversion of such Preferred Shares in accordance with this Article 10.5, surrender certificates representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, at the office of the Transfer Agent, and specify the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares to be issued. As promptly as practicable, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares to which the holder of the Preferred Shares so converted shall be entitled. Such conversion, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed to have been effected as of the date of receipt by the Company of any notice of conversion pursuant to this Article 10.5(c) (the “Conversion Date”). Conversion of the Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares shall be effected by the redemption of the Preferred Shares on the Conversion Date for the appropriate number of EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares (through the application of the redemption proceeds of the Preferred Shares and the capitalisation of an appropriate amount of share premium account), and the Company is hereby authorised to apply, on behalf of the relevant Member, the proceeds of redemption of any such Preferred Shares in paying for the Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares to be issued thereby. The Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares resulting from the conversion shall, as from the Conversion Date, rank pari passu in all respects with the remaining Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares, as applicable and the Preferred Shares so converted shall be available for reissue and until reissue shall form part of the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company. (ii) In connection with the conversion of any Preferred Shares, no fractions of shares of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares shall be issued, but the Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and such fractional interest. (iii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares the full number of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares of the Company issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares. (d) Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Company shall propose at any time: (A) to declare any dividend or distribution upon any class or series of capital stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities; (B) to effect any reorganization or reclassification of its Shares outstanding involving a change in the Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares; or (C) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or to sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, subject to receipt of a waiver in writing by the holders of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall mail to each holder of Preferred Shares: (i) at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of the affected class or series of capital stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining the rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in clauses (b) and (c) in Article 10.5(d) above; and (ii) in the case of the matters referred to in Article 10.5(d) (B) and (C) above, written notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the shareholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
transaction, whichever is earlier. The notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction (and specify the date on which the holders of shares of Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event) and the Company shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. Subject to receipt of a waiver in writing by the holders of the Preferred Shares, the transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Company has given the notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Company has given notice of any material changes provided for herein. (e) Conversion Rights of Ordinary Shares. In the event that an offer is made to purchase the Restricted Voting Common Shares and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the Restricted Voting Common Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all of the holders of the Restricted Voting Common Shares, each Ordinary Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into one Restricted Voting Common Share, at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Restricted Voting Common Shares pursuant to the offer and for no other reason, including with respect to voting rights attached thereto, which are deemed to remain subject to the provisions concerning the voting rights for Ordinary Shares notwithstanding their conversion. The Transfer Agent shall deposit the resulting Restricted Voting Common Shares on behalf of the holder. To exercise such conversion right, the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing shall: (i) give written notice to the Transfer Agent of the exercise of such right and of the number of Ordinary Shares, in respect of which the right is being exercised; (ii) deliver to the Transfer Agent the share certificate or certificates, if any, representing the Ordinary Shares, in respect of which the right is being exercised; and (iii) pay any applicable stamp tax or similar duty on or in respect of such conversion. EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
No share certificates representing the Restricted Voting Common Shares, resulting from the conversion of the Ordinary Shares will be delivered to the holders on whose behalf such deposit is being made. If Restricted Voting Common Shares, resulting from the conversion and deposited pursuant to the offer are withdrawn by the holder or are not taken up by the offeror, or the offer is abandoned or withdrawn by the offeror or the offer otherwise expires without such Restricted Voting Common Shares being taken up and paid for, the Restricted Voting Common Shares resulting from the conversion will be re-converted into Ordinary Shares, without further act on the part of the Company, and the share certificate representing the Ordinary Shares, if any, will be sent to the holder by the Transfer Agent. In the event that the offeror takes up and pays for the Restricted Voting Common Shares, resulting from conversion, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the holders thereof the consideration paid for such shares by the offeror. There will be no right to convert the Ordinary Shares into Restricted Voting Common Shares under this Article 10.5(e), in the following cases: (i) the offer to purchase Restricted Voting Common Shares is not required under applicable securities legislation to be made to all or substantially all of the holders of Restricted Voting Common Shares, that is, the offer is an “exempt take-over bid” within the meaning of the applicable securities legislation; or (ii) an offer to purchase Ordinary Shares is made concurrently with the offer to purchase Restricted Voting Common Shares, and the two offers are identical in respect of price per share, percentage of outstanding Shares for which the offer is made, and in all other material respects, including in respect of the conditions attaching thereto. The offer to purchase the Ordinary Shares must be unconditional, subject to the exception that the offer for the Ordinary Shares may contain a condition to the effect that the offeror is not required to take up and pay for Ordinary Shares deposited to the offer if no Shares are purchased pursuant to the contemporaneous offer for the Restricted Voting Common Shares. (f) Conversion Rights of Restricted Voting Common Shares upon Disposition. Upon the disposition of any Restricted Voting Common Share such that the Restricted Voting Common Shares ceases to be beneficially owned or controlled directly or indirectly by Kingsway Financial Services Inc. or Kingsway America Inc. (and, for this purpose, such Restricted Voting Common Share is also not held directly or indirectly by a partnership, corporation or other entity in which Kingsway Financial Services Inc. or Kingsway America Inc. holds, directly or indirectly, ten percent (10%) or more of the capital, profits, value or voting interests), such Restricted Voting Common Shares shall be mandatorily converted into fully paid and non- EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
assessable Ordinary Shares with each Restricted Voting Common Share converting into one Ordinary Share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof. The holder of such Restricted Voting Common Shares shall, upon any disposition of such Restricted Voting Common Shares in accordance with this Article 10.5(f), surrender certificates representing the Restricted Voting Common Shares to the Company, at the office of the Transfer Agent, and specify the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Ordinary Shares to be issued. Conversion of the Restricted Voting Common Shares into Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to have been effected as of the date of receipt by the Company of written notice of such disposition pursuant to this Article 10.5(f) (the “Date of Conversion”). Conversion of the Restricted Voting Common Shares into Ordinary Shares shall be effected by the redemption of the Restricted Voting Common Shares on the Date of Conversion at their nominal value (through the application of share capital), the issue of the appropriate number of Ordinary Shares at their nominal value (through the application of the redemption proceeds of the Restricted Voting Common Shares and the capitalisation of an appropriate amount of the share premium account), and the Company is hereby authorised to apply, on behalf of the relevant holder, the proceeds of redemption of any such Restricted Voting Common Shares in paying for the Ordinary Shares to be issued thereby. The Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion shall, as from the Date of Conversion, rank pari passu in all respects with the remaining Ordinary Shares and the Restricted Voting Common Shares so converted shall be available for reissue and until reissue shall form part of the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued share capital Ordinary Shares of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the Restricted Voting Common Shares. (g) Conversion Rights of Restricted Voting Common Shares upon Offer. In the event that an offer is made to purchase Ordinary Shares and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all of the holders of Ordinary Shares, each Restricted Voting Common Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into one Ordinary Share at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Restricted Voting Common Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Ordinary Shares pursuant to the offer and for no other reason, including notably with respect to voting rights attached thereto, which are deemed to remain subject to the provisions concerning the voting rights for Restricted Voting Common Shares notwithstanding their conversion. The Transfer Agent shall deposit the resulting Ordinary Shares on behalf of the holder. EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
To exercise such conversion right, the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing shall: (i) give written notice to the Transfer Agent of the exercise of such right and of the number of Restricted Voting Common Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised; (ii) deliver to the Transfer Agent the share certificate or certificates, if any, representing the Restricted Voting Common Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised; and (iii) pay any applicable stamp tax or similar duty on or in respect of such conversion. No share certificates representing the Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of the Restricted Voting Common Shares shall be delivered to the holders on whose behalf such deposit is being made. If Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion and deposited pursuant to the offer are withdrawn by the holder or are not taken up by the offeror; or the offer is abandoned or withdrawn by the offeror or the offer otherwise expires without such Ordinary Shares being taken up and paid for, the Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion will be re-converted into Restricted Voting Common Shares without further act on the part of the Company and the share certificate representing the Restricted Voting Common Shares, if any, will be sent to the holder by the Transfer Agent. In the event that the offeror takes up and pays for the Ordinary Shares resulting from conversion, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the holders thereof the consideration paid for such shares by the offeror. There will be no right to convert the Restricted Voting Common Shares into Ordinary Shares under this Article 10.5(g) in the following cases: (i) the offer to purchase Ordinary Shares is not required under applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed to be made to all or substantially all of the holders of Ordinary Shares in a province of Canada to which the requirement applies, that is, the offer is an “exempt take-over bid” within the meaning of the applicable securities legislation; or (ii) an offer to purchase Restricted Voting Common Shares is made concurrently with the offer to purchase Ordinary Shares and the two offers are identical in respect of price per share, percentage of outstanding Shares for which the offer is made, and in all other material respects, including in respect of the conditions attaching thereto. The offer to purchase the Restricted Voting Common EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
Shares must be unconditional, subject to the exception that the offer for the Restricted Voting Common Shares may contain a condition to the effect that the offeror is not required to take up and pay for Restricted Voting Common Shares deposited to the offer if no shares are purchased pursuant to the contemporaneous offer for the Ordinary Shares. (h) Subdivision or Consolidation. No subdivision or consolidation of the Ordinary Shares or Restricted Voting Common Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Ordinary Shares and the Restricted Voting Common Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the respective rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes. 11. The Company may insofar as may be permitted by law, pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgement of fully paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful. 12. The Directors may refuse to accept any application for Shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. 13. For the purposes of enabling directors, officers, employees of, and consultants to, the Company and its affiliates to participate in the growth of the Company and of providing effective incentives to such directors, officers, employees and consultants, the Board may establish such plans (including stock option plans and stock purchase plans) and make such rules and regulations with respect thereto, and such changes in such plans, rules and regulations, as the Board may deem advisable from time to time. From time to time the Board may designate the directors, officers, employees and consultants entitled to participate in any such plan. For the purposes of any such plan, the Company may provide such financial assistance by means of loan, guarantee or otherwise to directors, officers, employees and consultants as is permitted by the Law or by any other applicable laws. MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS 14. Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes the rights attached to any such Class may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class) only be materially adversely varied or abrogated with the consent of the holders of that Class by Special Resolution but not otherwise. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Shareholders of the relevant Class present in person or by proxy representing not less than 5% of the outstanding Shares of that Class and that, subject to the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of convening and holding a meeting pursuant to this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes. 15. The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking in any respect pari passu with or prior to them, or the redemption or purchase of Shares of any Class by the Company. CERTIFICATES 16. No Person shall be entitled to a certificate for any or all of his Shares. 17. Share certificates, if any, shall be in such form as the Board by resolution shall approve from time to time. 18. The Secretary or any other officer of the Company may prescribe either generally or in a particular case reasonable conditions (including the provision of an indemnity in favour of the Company) upon which a new share certificate may be issued in place of any share certificate which is claimed to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, or which has become defaced. CONSIDERATION 19. A Share shall not be issued until the consideration for the Share is fully paid in money or in property or in past services that are not less in value than the fair equivalent of the money that the Company would have received if the Share had been issued for money. The Directors of the Company who vote for or consent to a resolution authorizing the issue of a Share for a consideration other than money are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to the Company to make good any amount by which the consideration received is less than the fair equivalent of money that the Company would have received if the Share had been issued for money on the date of the resolution. A Director who proves that the Director did not know or could not have reasonably known that the Share was issued for a consideration less than the fair equivalent of the money that the Company would have received if the Share had been issued for money is not liable under this Article. A Director is not liable under this Article if the Director exercised the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in comparable circumstances, including reliance in good faith on: (a) financial statements of the Company represented to the Director by an officer of the Company or in a written report of the auditor of the Company fairly to reflect the financial condition of the Company; or (b) a report of a person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by the professional person. An action to enforce a liability imposed by this Article may not be commenced after two years from the date of the resolution authorizing the action complained of. EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
TRANSFER OF SHARES 20. No transfer of Shares need be recorded in the Register (and any register of transfers of the Company) except upon presentation of the original certificate representing such Shares, if any, executed by the Company (or an indemnity in favour of the Company in such form as the Secretary or any other officer of the Company may reasonably determine in the event of any share certificate which is claimed to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, or which has become defaced). The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 21. The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased survivor, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. 22. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy. 23. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company. ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL 24. The Company may by Special Resolution: (a) by Ordinary Resolution consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares; (b) by Ordinary Resolution subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them, into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; (c) by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorisedauthorized by law; and EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
(d) by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe. 25. The Company may by Ordinary Resolution cancel any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled. 26. The holders of a Class or a series of Shares are entitled to vote separately as a Class or series (provided the series is affected by the amendment in a manner different from the other Shares of the same Class) on a proposal to amend the Company’ s Memorandum and Articles to: (a) add, change or remove the rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to the Shares of such Class and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) remove or change prejudicially rights to accrued dividends or rights to cumulative dividends, (ii) add, remove or change prejudicially redemption rights, (iii) reduce or remove a dividend preference or a liquidation preference, or (iv) add, remove or change prejudicially conversion privileges, options, voting, transfer or pre-emptive rights, or rights to acquire securities of a corporation, or sinking fund provisions; (b) increase the rights or privileges of any Class of Shares having rights or privileges equal or superior to the Shares of such Class; (c) make any Class of Shares having rights or privileges inferior to the Shares of such Class equal or superior to the Shares of such Class; (d) effect an exchange or create a right of exchange of all or part of the Shares of another Class into the Shares of such Class; or (e) constrain the issue, transfer or ownership of the Shares of such Class or change or remove such constraint. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF SHARES 27. Subject to the Law and to the provisions of Article 10.4, the Company may: (a) issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Shareholder on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may, before the issue of such Shares, determine; EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
(b) purchase for cancellation its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder; and (c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including out of its capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares. 28. Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption. 29. The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption or purchase of any other Share. 30. The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie. GENERAL MEETINGS 31. The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of the Company provided that the Company shall within one year of its incorporation or continuance and in each year of its existence thereafter hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting and shall specify the meeting as such in notices calling it. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. 32. General meetings shall also be convened on the requisition in writing of any Shareholder or Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company holding at least five percent of the Aggregate Votes deposited at the Office specifying the objects of the meeting for a date no later than 120 days from the date of deposit of the requisition signed by the requisitionists, and if the Directors do not call such meeting within 21 days from the date of such deposit, the requisitionists themselves may convene the general meeting in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionists as a result of the failure of the Directors to convene the general meeting shall be reimbursed to them by the Company. NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS 33. At least 21 days’ notice in writing counting from the date service is deemed to take place as provided in these Articles specifying the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and, in case of special business, the general nature of that business, shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided or in such other manner (if any) as may be prescribed by the Company by Ordinary Resolution to such Persons as are, under these Articles, entitled to receive such notices from the Company, but with the consent of all the Shareholders entitled to receive notice of some particular meeting and attend and vote thereat, that meeting may be EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
convened by such shorter notice or without notice and in such manner as those Shareholders may think fit. 34. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to or the non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by any Shareholder shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting. PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS 35. All business carried out at a general meeting shall be deemed special with the exception of the consideration of the accounts, balance sheets and any report of the Directors or of the Auditors thereon, the appointment and removal of Directors, the appointment of the Auditors and the fixing of the remuneration of the Auditors. No special business shall be transacted at any general meeting without the consent of all Shareholders entitled to receive notice of that meeting unless notice of such special business has been given in the notice convening that meeting. 36. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a “quorum” of Shareholders is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Save as otherwise provided by these Articles, two or more Shareholders holding at least five percent of the Aggregate Votes present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at that meeting, shall form a quorum. 37. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or if such a day is not a business day, the next business day and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting the Shareholder or Shareholders present and entitled to vote shall form a quorum. 38. If the Directors wish to make this facility available to Shareholders for a specific general meeting or all general meetings of the Company, a Shareholder may participate in any general meeting of the Company, by means of a telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which all Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting. 39. The chairman, if any, of the Directors (or such other person being an officer or Director of the Company designated by the Board) shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company. The Secretary or Assistant Secretary (if any) or any other officer in attendance and so nominated, shall act as secretary of the meeting and if no such persons are present or willing to act, the chairman shall appoint another person, who need not be a Shareholder, to act as secretary of the meeting. One or more scrutineers, who need not be Shareholders, may be appointed by the chairman or by an Ordinary Resolution. 40. If there is no such chairman, or if at any general meeting he is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling to act as chairman, the Shareholders present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of that meeting. EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
41. The chairman may with the consent of any general meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn a meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting, or adjourned meeting, is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting. 42. The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason upon notice in writing to Shareholders. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine. 43. At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or one or more Shareholders present in person or by proxy entitled to vote, and unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book of the proceedings of the Company, shall be prima facie evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of, or against, that resolution. 44. If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. 45. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote. 46. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time as the chairman of the meeting directs. VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS 47. Subject to any rights and restrictions described in Article 10.3 or for the time being attached to any Share, on a show of hands every Shareholder present in person and every Person representing a Shareholder by proxy shall, at a general meeting of the Company, each have one vote and on a poll every Shareholder and every Person representing a Shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each Share of which he or the Person represented by proxy is the holder. 48. In the case of joint holders, where two or more persons hold Shares jointly, one of those holders present at a meeting of Shareholders may in the absence of the others vote the EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
Shares, but if two or more of those persons are present, in person or by proxy, they shall vote as one on the Shares jointly held by them. 49. A Shareholder of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, or other Person in the nature of a committee appointed by that court, and any such committee or other Person, may vote by proxy. 50. On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy. 51. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under Seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. 52. An instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may approve. The chairman of the general meeting shall determine the authenticity of all signatures. 53. The chairman of any meeting of shareholders may also in his or her discretion, unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Board, accept (i) instruments of proxy which have been transmitted by facsimile, telegraphed, telexed, cabled or otherwise electronically transmitted to the Company or such agent as the Board may from time to time determine prior to such meeting and (ii) facsimile, telegraphic, telex, cable or electronic communication as to the authority of anyone claiming to vote on behalf of or to represent a shareholder, in each case whether or not an instrument of proxy conferring such authority has been lodged with the Company, and any votes cast in accordance with such facsimile, telegraphic, telex, cable or electronic proxy or communication accepted by the chairman shall be valid and any votes cast in accordance therewith shall be counted. 54. A proxy may be signed and delivered in blank and filled in afterwards by the chairman of the Board, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. 55. It shall not be necessary to insert in the proxy the number of shares owned by the appointor. 56. The Board may, at the Company’s expense, send out forms of proxy in which certain directors or officers are named, which may be accompanied by stamped envelopes for the return of the forms, even if the Directors so named vote the proxies in favour of their own election as Directors. 57. A proxy shall be acted upon only if it shall have been deposited with the Company or an agent thereof specified in the notice calling the meeting of shareholders prior to the time specified in the notice or such later time before the time of voting as the chairman of the meeting may determine, or, where no such time is specified in such notice, if it has been received by the Company or an agent thereof or the chairman of the meeting or any adjournment thereof before the time of voting. EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
58. A proxy is valid only at the meeting in respect of which it is give or any adjournment thereof. 59. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll. 60. A resolution in writing signed by all the Shareholders for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company (or being corporations by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the same had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held. CORPORATIONS ACTING BY REPRESENTATIVES AT MEETINGS 61.

POWERS AND DUTIES OF DIRECTORS 70. Subject to the Law, these Articles and to any resolutions passed in a general meeting, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors, who may pay all expenses incurred in setting up and registering the Company and may exercise all powers of the Company. The Directors will have the power to commence in the name of the Company a winding up or any other insolvency proceedings in accordance with the Law. No resolution passed by the Company in general meeting shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors that would have been valid if that resolution had not been passed. 71.

Any Person so appointed by the Directors may be removed by the Directors. The Directors may also appoint one or more of their number to the office of managing director upon like terms, but any such appointment shall ipso facto determine if any managing director ceases from any cause to be a Director. 72.

Any Secretary or assistant Secretary so appointed by the Directors may be removed by the Directors. 73.

such power of attorney or other appointment may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of Persons dealing with any such Attorney or Authorised Signatory as the Directors may think fit, and may also authorise any such Attorney or Authorised Signatory to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretion vested in him. 75. The Directors may from time to time provide for the management of the affairs of the Company in such manner as they shall think fit and the provisions contained in the three next following Articles shall not limit the general powers conferred by this Article. 76.

The Directors from time to time and at any time may delegate to any such committee, local board, manager or agent any of the powers, authorities and discretion for the time being vested in the Directors and may authorise the members for the time being of any such local board, or any of them to fill any vacancies therein and to act notwithstanding vacancies and any such appointment or delegation may be made on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Directors may think fit and the Directors may at any time remove any Person so appointed and may annul or vary any such delegation, but no Person dealing in good faith and without notice of any such annulment or variation shall be affected thereby. 78. Any such delegates as aforesaid may be authorised by the Directors to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities, and discretion for the time being vested in them.

The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party. THE SEAL 80. The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. 81. The Seal shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution of the Directors provided always that such authority may be given prior to or after the affixing of the Seal and if given after may be in general form confirming a number of affixings of the Seal. The Seal shall be affixed in the presence of a Director or a Secretary (or an assistant Secretary) or in the presence of any one or more Persons as the Directors may appoint for the purpose and every Person as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the Seal is so affixed in their presence. 82. The Company may maintain a facsimile of the Seal in such countries or places as the Directors may appoint and such facsimile Seal shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution of the Directors provided always that such authority may be EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
given prior to or after the affixing of such facsimile Seal and if given after may be in general form confirming a number of affixings of such facsimile Seal. The facsimile Seal shall be affixed in the presence of such Person or Persons as the Directors shall for this purpose appoint and such Person or Persons as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the facsimile Seal is so affixed in their presence and such affixing of the facsimile Seal and signing as aforesaid shall have the same meaning and effect as if the Seal had been affixed in the presence of and the instrument signed by a Director or a Secretary (or an assistant Secretary) or in the presence of any one or more Persons as the Directors may appoint for the purpose. 83. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Secretary or any assistant Secretary shall have the authority to affix the Seal, or the facsimile Seal, to any instrument for the purposes of attesting authenticity of the matter contained therein but which does not create any obligation binding on the Company.

The office of Director shall be vacated, if the Director: (a) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (b) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (c) resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company; or (d) is removed from office by Ordinary Resolution. PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS 85. The Directors may meet together (either within or without the Cayman Islands) for the dispatch of business, adjourn, and otherwise regulate their meetings and proceedings in such manner as the chairman or any two Directors or any other officer designated by the Board may determine. Notice of the time and place or manner of participation for every Board meeting shall be sent to each Director not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting. A director may at his discretion waive notice of any such meeting. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. Where there are at least three Directors present and there is an equality of votes, the chairman shall be entitled to a second or casting vote. A Director may, and a Secretary or assistant Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors. 86. A Director may participate in any meeting of the Directors, or of any committee appointed by the Directors of which such Director is a member, by means of telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which all Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.

87. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Directors at a meeting of the Board shall be fifty percent of the number of Directors so fixed or determined at that time (or, if that is a fraction, the next largest whole number of Directors). 88. A Director who is a party, or who, in any way, whether directly or indirectly has an interest in a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors. A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made. A Director may not vote, but may be counted in the quorum, in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which he may be interested. 89. A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested, be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. 90. Any Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company. 91. The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books or loose-leaf folders provided for the purpose of recording: (a) all appointments of officers made by the Directors; (b) the names of the Directors present at each meeting of the Directors and of any committee of the Directors; and (c) all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company, and of the Directors and of committees of Directors. 92. When the chairman of a meeting of the Directors signs the minutes of such meeting the same shall be deemed to have been duly held notwithstanding that all the Directors have not actually come together or that there may have been a technical defect in the proceedings. 93. A resolution signed by all the Directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Directors shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors duly EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
called and constituted. When signed a resolution may consist of several documents each signed by one or more of the Directors. 94. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing Directors may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose. 95. The Directors may elect a chairman of their meetings and determine the period for which he is to hold office but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. 96. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings. If no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. 97. A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman shall not have a second or casting vote. 98. All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director. DIVIDENDS 99. Subject always to Article 10.1 and any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares and the Law, the Directors (and only the Directors) may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. 100. The Directors may, before declaring any dividend or distribution, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the Directors be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends or distribution or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied and pending such application may in the absolute discretion of the Directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may from time to time think fit. 101. Any dividend or distribution may be paid in any manner as the Directors may determine (including in the form of cash or non cash assets of the Company, or shares in the capital of EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
the Company). If paid by cheque it will be sent through the post to the registered address of the Shareholder or Person entitled thereto, or in the case of joint holders, to any one of such joint holders at his registered address or to such Person and such address as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct. Every such cheque shall be made payable to the order of the Person to whom it is sent or to the order of such other Person as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct. 102. The Directors when paying dividends or distributions to the Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of these Articles may make such payment either in cash or in specie. 103. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, all dividends or distributions shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares. 104. If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Share, any of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend, distributions, or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share. 105. No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company. Any dividend or distribution unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which the same has been declared to be payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. ACCOUNTS, AUDIT AND ANNUAL RETURN AND DECLARATION 106. The books of account relating to the Company’s affairs shall be kept in such manner as may be determined from time to time by the Directors. 107. The books of account shall be kept at the Office, or at such other place or places as the Directors think fit, and shall always be open to the inspection of the Directors. 108. The Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Shareholders not being Directors, and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Directors. 109. The Company shall prepare and maintain, at its registered office or at any other place designated by the directors, records containing a securities register. Shareholders and their personal representatives may examine the securities register during the usual business hours of the Company, and may take extracts from the records, free of charge. A Shareholder who wishes to examine the securities register must first make a request to the Company or its agent, accompanied by an affidavit stating: (a) the name and address of the applicant; (b) the name and address for service of the corporation, if the applicant is a corporation; and (c) that the basic list and any supplemental lists (as defined in Article 110) obtained or the information contained in the securities register obtained as the case may be, will not be used except as permitted hereunder. On receipt of the affidavit, the Company or its agent shall EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
allow the applicant access to the securities register during the Company’s usual business hours, and, on payment of a reasonable fee, provide the applicant with an extract from the securities register. 110. Shareholders of the Company and their personal representatives, on payment of a reasonable fee and on sending to the Company or its agent the affidavit referred to Article 109 above, may on application require the Company or its agent to furnish within ten days after the receipt of the affidavit a list (herein referred to as the “basic list”) made up to a date not more than ten days before the date of receipt of the affidavit setting out the names of the Shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares owned by each Shareholder and the address of each Shareholder as shown on the records of the Company. The person requiring the Company to furnish a basic list may, by stating in the affidavit that they require supplemental lists, require the Company or its agent on payment of a reasonable fee to furnish a supplemental list setting out any changes from the basic list in the names or addresses of the Shareholders and the number of Shares owned by each Shareholder for each business day following the date the basic list is made up to (herein referred to as the “supplemental list”). The Company or its agent shall furnish the supplemental list: (a) on the date the basic list is furnished, where the information relates to changes that took place prior to that date; and (b) on the business day following the day to which the supplemental list relates, where the information relates to changes that take place on or after the date the basic list is furnished. 111. A list of Shareholders or information from a securities register obtained under Article 109 or 110 shall not be used by any person except in connection with: (a) an effort to influence the voting of Shareholders of the Company; (b) an offer to acquire securities of the Company; or (c) any other matter relating to the affairs of the Company. 112. The accounts relating to the Company’s affairs for a completed financial year shall be audited. 113.

CAPITALISATION OF RESERVES 114. Subject to the Law, the Directors may, with the authority of an Ordinary Resolution: (a) resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of reserves (including a Share Premium Account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution; (b) appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the Shareholders in proportion to the nominal amount of Shares held by them respectively and apply that sum on their behalf in or towards paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the Shares or debentures, credited as fully paid, to the Shareholders (or as they may direct) in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, but the Share Premium Account, the capital redemption EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
reserve and profits which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued Shares to be allotted to Shareholders credited as fully paid; (c) make any arrangements they think fit to resolve a difficulty arising in the distribution of a capitalised reserve and in particular, without limitation, where Shares or debentures become distributable in fractions the Directors may deal with the fractions as they think fit, without the issue of any fractional Shares; (d) authorise a Person to enter (on behalf of all the Shareholders concerned) into an agreement with the Company providing for the allotment to the Shareholders respectively, credited as fully paid, of Shares or debentures to which they may be entitled on the capitalisation, and any such agreement made under this authority being effective and binding on all those Shareholders; and (e) generally do all acts and things required to give effect to the resolution. SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT 115. The Directors shall in accordance with the Law establish a Share Premium Account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share. 116. There shall be debited from any Share Premium Account on the redemption or purchase of a Share the difference between the nominal value of such Share and the redemption or purchase price provided always that at the discretion of the Directors such sum may be paid out of the profits of the Company or, if permitted by the Law, out of capital. INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS 117. The Directors may establish separate accounts on the books and records of the Company (each an “Investment Account”) for each Class or series, or for more than one Class or series of Shares, as the case may be, and the following provisions shall apply to each Investment Account: (a) the proceeds from the allotment and issue of Shares of any Class or series may be applied in the books of the Company to the Investment Account established for the Shares of such Class or series; (b) the assets and liabilities and income and expenditures attributable to the Shares of any Class or series may be applied or allocated for accounting purposes to the relevant Investment Account established for such Shares subject to these Articles; (c) where any asset is derived from another asset (whether cash or otherwise), such derivative asset may be applied in the books of the Company to the Investment Account from which the related asset was derived and on each revaluation of an investment the increase or diminution in the value thereof (or the relevant portion of EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
such increase or diminution in value) may be applied to the relevant Investment Account; (d) in the case of any asset of the Company which the Directors do not consider is attributable to a particular Investment Account, the Directors shall have the discretion to determine the basis upon which any such asset shall be allocated among Investment Accounts and the Directors shall have power at any time and from time to time to vary such allocation; (e) where the assets of the Company not attributable to any Investment Accounts give rise to any net profits, the Directors may allocate the assets representing such net profits to the Investment Accounts as they may determine; (f) the Directors may determine the basis upon which any liability including expenses shall be allocated among Investment Accounts (including conditions as to subsequent reallocation thereof if circumstances so permit or require) and shall have power at any time and from time to time to vary such basis and charge expenses of the Company against either revenue or the capital of the Investment Accounts; and (g) the Directors may in the books of the Company transfer any assets to and from Investment Accounts if, as a result of a creditor proceeding against certain of the assets of the Company or otherwise, a liability would be borne in a different manner from that in which it would have been borne under paragraph (f) above, or in any similar circumstances. 118. Subject to any applicable law and except as otherwise provided in these Articles the assets held in each Investment Account shall be applied solely in respect of Shares of the Class or series to which such Investment Account relates and no holder of Shares of a Class or series shall have any claim or right to any asset allocated to any other Class or series. NOTICES 119. Any notice or document may be served by the Company or by the Person entitled to give notice to any Shareholder either personally, or by posting it by ordinary mail or courier service in a prepaid letter addressed to such Shareholder at his address as appearing in the Register, or by electronic mail to any electronic mail address such Shareholder may have specified in writing for the purpose of such service of notices, or by cable, telex or facsimile should the Directors deem it appropriate. In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders. 120. Any Shareholder present, either personally or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have received due notice of such meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which such meeting was convened. 121. Any notice or other document, if served by: EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
(a) post, shall be deemed to have been served five days after the time when the letter containing the same is posted; (b) facsimile, shall be deemed to have been served upon production by the transmitting facsimile machine of a report confirming transmission of the facsimile in full to the facsimile number of the recipient; (c) recognised courier service, shall be deemed to have been served at the time of delivery; or (d) electronic mail shall be deemed to have been served immediately upon the time of the transmission by electronic mail. In proving service by post or courier service it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter containing the notice or documents was properly addressed and duly posted or delivered to the courier service. 122. Any notice or document delivered or sent by post to or left at the registered address of any Shareholder in accordance with the terms of these Articles shall notwithstanding that such Shareholder be then dead or bankrupt, and whether or not the Company has notice of his death or bankruptcy, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Share registered in the name of such Shareholder as sole or joint holder, unless his name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register as the holder of the Share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all Persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the Share. 123. Notice of every general meeting of the Company shall be given to all Shareholders holding Shares with the right to receive notice and who have supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them. No other Person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings. INDEMNITY 124. Every Director, Secretary, assistant Secretary, or other officer of the time being and from time to time of the Company (but not including the Auditors) and the personal representatives of the same (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets and funds of the Company against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Person, other than by reason of such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, wilful default, or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere, and as may be further described in an Indemnity Agreement with an Indemnified Person. 125. No Indemnified Person shall be liable: EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
(a) for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other Director or officer or agent of the Company; or (b) for any loss on account of defect of title to any property of the Company; or (c) on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any money of the Company shall be invested; or (d) for any loss incurred through any bank, broker or other similar Person; or (e) for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities, or discretions of such Indemnified Person’s office or in relation thereto; unless the same shall happen through such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, wilful default or fraud. 126. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall be entitled to advance moneys to every director, officer and other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to in Article 125, however, the individual shall repay the moneys if the individual is not entitled to the indemnity as aforesaid as determined by the court or other competent authority. 127. From time to time the Board may determine that Indemnified Persons shall also include the employees of the Company who are not directors or officers of the Company or any particular one or more or class of such employees, either generally or in respect of a particular occurrence or class of occurrences. From time to time thereafter the Board may also revoke, limit or vary such application of this Article. 128. The provisions of Articles 124 to 127 inclusive, shall be in addition to and not in substitution for or operate by way of limitation of, any rights, immunities and protections to which a person is otherwise entitled. NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS 129. Subject to the proviso hereto, no Person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not, unless required by law, be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or (except only as otherwise provided by these Articles or as the Law requires) any other right in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in each Shareholder registered in the Register, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to recognise any such interests as shall be determined by the Directors in their absolute discretion. WINDING-UP 130. If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution divide amongst the Shareholders in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders or different Classes subject always to Article 10.2 above. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like sanction shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any asset whereon there is any liability. AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION 131. Subject to the Law and the rights attaching to the various Classes, the Company may at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter or amend these Articles in whole or in part. CLOSING OF REGISTER OR FIXING RECORD DATE 132. For the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Shareholder for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not exceed in any case 60 days. If the Register shall be so closed for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders the Register shall be so closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register. 133. In lieu of or apart from closing the Register, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within 90 days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination. 134. If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is posted or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof. REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION 135. The Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. In furtherance of a resolution adopted pursuant to this Article, the Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company. DISCLOSURE 136. The Directors, or any authorised service providers (including the officers, the Secretary and the registered office agent of the Company) shall be entitled to disclose to any regulatory or judicial authority any information regarding the affairs of the Company including without limitation information contained in the Register and books of the Company. RIGHTS OF DISSENT 137. A holder of Shares of any class of the Company may dissent if the Company resolves to: (a) amend its Memorandum and Articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting or constraining the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of that class; (b) amend its Memorandum and Articles to add, change or remove any restriction on the business or businesses that the Company may carry on; (c) amalgamate, including a merger or consolidation pursuant to Section 233(7) of the Companies Law; (d) be continued into another jurisdiction; (e) sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property; or (f) carry out going private scheme or contract being the subject of Section 88 of the Companies Law. 138. In addition, a Member holding Shares of any Class or series of Shares entitled to vote may dissent if the Company resolves to amend its Memorandum and Articles as contemplated by Article 26. The right to dissent applies even if there is only one Class of Shares. 139. In addition to any other right the Member may have, but subject to limitations in Article 151, a Member who complies with the Articles on dissent is entitled, when the action approved by the resolution from which the Member dissents becomes effective, to be paid by the Company the fair value of the Shares in respect of which the Member dissents, determined as of the close of business on the day before the resolution was adopted or the order was made. 140. A dissenting Member may only claim a right of dissent with respect to all the Shares of a Class held on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the dissenting Member. The dissenting Member shall send to the Company, at or before any meeting of Members at which a resolution referred to in Articles 137 or 138 is to be voted on, a written objection to the resolution, unless the Company did not give notice to the Member of the purpose of the meeting and of their right to dissent. EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
141. The Company shall, within ten days after the Members adopt the resolution, send to each Member who has filed the objection referred to in Article 140, notice that the resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any Member who voted for the resolution or who has withdrawn their objection. 142. A dissenting Member shall, within twenty days after receiving a notice under Article 141 or, if the Member does not receive such notice, within twenty days after learning that the resolution has been adopted, send to the Company a written notice containing the Member’s name and address; the number and class of shares in respect of which the Member dissents; and a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares. 143. A dissenting Member shall, within thirty days after sending a notice under Article 142 send the certificates representing the Shares in respect of which the Member dissents, if any, to the Company or the Transfer Agent. A dissenting Member who fails to comply has no right to make a claim under these Articles on dissent. The Company or the Transfer Agent shall endorse on any share certificate received, a notice that the holder is a dissenting Member under these Articles on dissent and shall forthwith return the share certificates to the dissenting Member. 144. On sending a notice under Article 142, a dissenting Member ceases to have any rights as a Member other than to be paid the fair value of their shares as determined under these Articles on dissent except where the Member withdraws that notice before the Company makes an offer under Article 145, the Company fails to make an offer in accordance with Article 145 and the Member withdraws the notice, or the Directors revoke a resolution to amend the Memorandum and Articles, terminate an amalgamation agreement or an application for continuance, or abandon a sale, lease or exchange, in which case the Member’s rights are reinstated as of the date the notice was sent. 145. The Company shall, not later than seven days after the later of the day on which the action approved by the resolution is effective or the day the Company received the notice referred to in Article 142, send to each dissenting Member who has sent such notice a written offer to pay for their Shares in an amount considered by the Directors of the Company to be the fair value, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined; or if a limitations under Article 151 applies, a notification that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting Member for their Shares. Every offer made for Shares of the same class or series shall be on the same terms. 146. Subject to limitations under Article 151 the Company shall pay for the shares of a dissenting Member within ten days after an offer made under Article 145 has been accepted, but any such offer lapses if the Company does not receive an acceptance thereof within thirty days after the offer has been made. 147. Where the Company fails to make an offer under Article 145 or if a dissenting Member fails to accept an offer, the Company may, within fifty days after the action approved by the resolution is effective or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the shares of any dissenting Member. If the Company fails to apply to a court, a dissenting Member may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of twenty days or within such further period as a court may allow. An application of EAST\184320735.3EAST\184320735.4


 
the company or the dissenting Member must be made to a court having jurisdiction in the place where the Company has its registered office. A dissenting Member is not required to give security for costs in an application made. 148. On an application to a court under Article 147 all dissenting Member whose shares have not been purchased by the Company shall be joined as parties and are bound by the decision of the court; and the Company shall notify each affected dissenting Member of the date, place and consequences of the application and of their right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. The court may determine whether any other person is a dissenting Member who should be joined as a party, and the court shall then fix a fair value for the shares of all dissenting Member. 149. The final order of a court shall be rendered against the Company in favour of each dissenting Member and for the amount of the shares as fixed by the court. 150. A court may in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each dissenting Member from the date the action approved by the resolution is effective until the date of payment. 151. The Company shall not make a payment to a dissenting Member if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is or would after the payment be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or the realizable value of the Company’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities. If this provision applies, the Company shall, within ten days after the pronouncement of a final order under Article 149 notify each dissenting Member that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting Members for their shares. If this provision applies, a dissenting Member, by written notice delivered to the Company within thirty days after receiving such a notice may withdraw their notice of dissent, in which case the Company is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and the Member is reinstated to their full rights as a shareholder; or retain a status as a claimant against the Company, to be paid as soon as the Company is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the Company but in priority to its Members.
