Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 29
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1We face risks associated with investments in which we share ownership or management with third parties.
From time to time, we have and may continue to invest in entities in which we share ownership or management with third parties. In certain circumstances, we may not have complete control over governance, financial reporting, operations, legal and regulatory compliance or other matters relating to such entities. As a result, we may face certain operating, financial, legal, regulatory, compliance and other risks relating to these entities, including, but not limited to, risks related to the financial strength of other investors; the willingness of other investors to provide adequate funding for the entity; differing goals, strategies, priorities or objectives between us and other investors; our inability to unilaterally implement actions, policies or procedures with respect to the entity that we believe are favorable; legal and regulatory compliance risks relating to actions of the entity or other investors; and our inability to resolve disputes with other investors. As a result, investments in which we share ownership or management subject us to risk and may contribute significantly less than anticipated to our earnings and cash flows.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by us or our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decrease.
As of December 31, 2025, we had registered up to 101 million shares of our securities (including both our preferred and common stock) authorized to issue from time to time in one or more offerings. Additional equity financing or other share issuances by us could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Future share issuances in connection with merger transactions or other acquisitions could result in substantial additional dilution to our stockholders. If these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, into the public market, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. If we issue additional shares of our common stock or if any of our existing stockholders sells a substantial amount of our common stock, or if the market perceives that such issuance or sales may occur, then the trading price of our common stock may significantly decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The substantial ownership of our common stock by R. Daniel Peed and his affiliates allows him to exert significant control over us, and the Company and R. Daniel Peed are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may restrict our ability to pursue certain opportunities.
R. Daniel Peed, our Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, beneficially owned approximately 28% of our issued and outstanding common stock at December 31, 2025. Mr. Peed also has a proxy from another member of RDX Holding, LLC, the former parent company of AmCo, who beneficially owns approximately 6% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Peed is able to exert substantial control over us. Moreover, Mr. Peed's interests may conflict with the interests of other holders of our common stock, and he may take actions affecting us with which other stockholders may disagree. Mr. Peed has the ability to exert significant influence over the following: - the nomination, election and removal of our Board of Directors;- the adoption of amendments to our charter documents;- management and policies;- our day-to-day operations; and - the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval, including acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. AmCo and AmCoastal are also subject to restrictive covenant agreements that contain non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and other restrictive covenants that prohibit AmCo and AmCoastal from engaging in certain activities, including activities customarily performed by managing general agents and activities relating to segments of the commercial property insurance market for coastally exposed risks in the United States.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Transactions by Mr. Peed and his affiliates involving our common stock may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
As noted above, Mr. Peed beneficially owned approximately 28% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2025. The Company has granted Mr. Peed and his affiliates customary demand and piggyback registration rights pursuant to which, subject to certain limitations, all of such shares eligible to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and may be offered and sold to the public from time to time after the effectiveness of the related registration statement. Such shares may also be resold into the public markets in accordance with an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including Rule 144, subject to the volume limitations, manner of sale requirements and notice requirements thereof. Sales of our common stock by Mr. Peed and his affiliates could have the effect of lowering our stock price. The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares by these stockholders could cause some of our other stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline. In addition, actual or anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated sales of stock by Mr. Peed and his affiliates could cause other institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may further cause the price of our stock to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Provisions in our charter documents may make it harder for others to obtain control of us even though some stockholders might consider such a development to be favorable.
Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals our stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. Our Board of Directors is divided into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. At a given annual meeting, only a portion of our Board of Directors may be considered for election. Additionally, the Board of Directors and executive officers control approximately 49% of the common stock of the Company. Consequently, our "staggered board" and concentrated holdings may prevent our stockholders from replacing a majority of our Board of Directors at certain annual meetings and may entrench our management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of our stockholders. Further, our Board of Directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue one or more series of preferred stock, which may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.
