PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION
AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd.
c/o Davies Captive Management Limited
Continental Building, 25 Church Street
Hamilton, HM 12, Bermuda
[DATE OF MAILING], 2023
Dear Shareholder:
You are cordially invited to attend a Special General Meeting of shareholders of AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd., to be held at the office of Davies Captive Management Limited, located at the Continental Building, 25 Church Street, Hamilton, HM 12, Bermuda, on [DATE], at [TIME], local time.
As you know from our letter to shareholders from November 28, 2022, our Board has been exploring the potential sale of Protexure Insurance Agency, Inc. (“PIA”), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by AmerInst Mezco, Ltd. (“Mezco”), a Bermuda entity wholly owned by AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd, and Protexure Risk Purchasing Group, Inc., an Illinois corporation (together with PIA, “Protexure”). On June 15, 2023, Protexure entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with MAC 43, LLC (the “Purchaser”), under which Protexure will sell all of its assets (other than cash and certain excluded assets) to the Purchaser (the “Asset Sale”). If the Asset Sale is completed, we expect to cease to be an operating company and to begin the process of winding down and liquidating its business, as discussed further in the accompanying proxy statement. If the Asset Sale is not approved and therefore not completed, our Board will evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our shareholders as the Asset Sale. A copy of the APA is attached as Annex A to the accompanying proxy statement, and you are encouraged to read it in its entirety.
At the Special General Meeting or any postponement or adjournment, you will be asked to approve and adopt the APA and, if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special General Meeting to approve and adopt the APA, then to approve a proposal to adjourn the meeting. After careful consideration, our Board, as well as the boards of directors of Mezco and Protexure, have adopted and approved the APA and unanimously determined that the Asset Sale is advisable and in the best interests of each respective company and its shareholders. Accordingly, our board has unanimously recommended that you vote:
“FOR” the adoption and approval of the APA and approval of the Asset Sale (the “Asset Sale Proposal”); and
“FOR” the proposal to adjourn the Special General Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Asset Sale Proposal at the time of the Special General Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
The proxy statement (including the financial statements attached to the proxy statement) accompanying this letter provides you with information about the Asset Sale, including, among other information, the reasons that the Board recommends the approval of the Asset Sale, the consequences of completing the Asset Sale, the consequences of not completing the Asset Sale, and a description of the duties of the members of our Board in connection with the adoption and approval of the APA. I encourage you to read the entire proxy statement carefully. You may also obtain additional information about us from documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on     , the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special General Meeting, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special General Meeting and any adjournment.
Your vote is very important. Each of the Asset Sale Proposal and Adjournment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast thereon, assuming a quorum is present. If you vote to “abstain,” your shares will not be counted in the determination of the shares of Common Stock voting on the proposals, but will be counted for quorum purposes. If you sign, date, and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your vote will be counted as a vote in favor of the adoption of the Asset Sale Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
Whether or not you are able to attend the Special General Meeting in person, please complete, sign, and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the envelope provided as soon as possible, or follow the

instructions provided for submitting a proxy by telephone or the Internet. If you hold shares through a broker or other nominee, you should follow the procedures provided by your broker or nominee to submit your vote. These actions will not limit your right to vote in person if you wish to attend the Special General Meeting and vote in person.
Thank you for your cooperation and your continued support.
 
Sincerely,

MCIHG’s subsidiaries have regulatory approval to act as insurance brokers in 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The Asset Sale. On June 15, 2023, Protexure entered into the APA with the Purchaser, which provides for the sale of substantially all of Protexure’s assets to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million (the “Purchase Price”) payable in cash at closing, subject to certain conditions described below and set forth in their entirety in the attached APA. Protexure will retain its cash and cash equivalents and other assets specifically excluded from the Asset Sale. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement” beginning on page 18.
Liabilities to be Assumed by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will assume only certain obligations and duties related to the assets it is purchasing and certain liabilities arising from the lease between Protexure and the lessor of the premises located at 4200 Commerce Court, Suite 102, Lisle, Illinois 60532. All other liabilities will remain obligations of Protexure. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement - Liabilities to be Assumed” beginning on page 18.
Effects on the Company if the Asset Sale is Completed and Use of Proceeds. If the shareholders approve the APA and we complete the Asset Sale, (a) the Company, and not our shareholders, will receive all of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale, and (b) we expect to cease to do business and to not engage in any business activities except for dealing with post-closing matters and, subject to further shareholder approval, liquidating our remaining assets (including the proceeds from the Asset Sale), paying any debts and obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders, and doing other acts required to voluntarily liquidate and wind up our business and affairs. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL – General; Effects on the Company if the Asset Sale is Completed; Use of Proceeds” beginning on page 13.
Reasons for the Asset Sale and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors. Since the third quarter of 2021, Protexure’s brokerage and Managing General Agency activities have been the primary sources of revenue for the Company. The Board has concluded that it is not sustainable to continue the Company’s business with Protexure’s commissions as the only source of revenue and that the continued erosion of the Company’s unrestricted cash resources to fund operating expenses raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern This could result in the Company’s inability to continue to operate and possibly force the Company into liquidation prematurely. After consideration, the Board concluded that its
4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

goal would be to enhance Protexure’s operation, increase its revenues, manage expenses, and posture Protexure for sale. At the conclusion of the negotiation of the APA, our Board unanimously: (i) determined that the Asset Sale is fair and advisable to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, (ii) approved the APA and the Asset Sale, and (iii) recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Asset Sale and the APA. For more information, see the sections below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL – Reasons for the Asset Sale and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors” beginning on page 14 and “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL – Going Concern” beginning on page 17.
Valuation. Our Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Asset Sale. The Board did engage Waller Helms Advisors (“WHA”) to perform a market check in which WHA contacted 17 potential buyers that resulted in the receipt of three letters of intent and one indication of interest. Our Board determined that the value ascribed to Protexure in the Purchaser’s offer was favorable compared to the other options available to the Board. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Valuation” beginning on page 16.
Effects on the Company if the Asset Sale is Not Completed. If the Asset Sale is not completed, our Board will evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our shareholders as the Asset Sale. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Effects on the Company if the Asset Sale is Not Completed” beginning on page 17.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale. In considering the recommendation of our Board with respect to the approval of the Asset Sale, our shareholders should be aware that (a) F. Kyle Nieman III, Chief Executive Officer of Protexure, will receive severance payments and other benefits pursuant to his employment agreement with Protexure in connection with the Asset Sale, if consummated, and (b) if the Asset Sale is consummated and the Company voluntarily liquidates, paying off any debts and obligations, the Company will make payments to members of our Board for unpaid director fees (earned in the ordinary course of each member’s service on the Board) that have been accruing since 2020. These interests may create potential conflicts of interest. Our Board was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in approving the APA and the Asset Sale and making its recommendation that our shareholders vote “FOR” the Asset Sale Proposal. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale” beginning on page 18.
Conditions to the Closing of the Asset Sale. The consummation of the Asset Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions on or prior to the closing. Such conditions include approval of the Asset Sale Proposal by our shareholders. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement - Conditions to the Closing of the Asset Sale” beginning on page 20.
Termination. The APA provides that such agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the APA), under certain circumstances, including:
by written mutual consent of Protexure and the Purchaser;
by Protexure or the Purchaser if the Asset Sale is not completed by September 30, 2023, subject to certain limitations; and
by Protexure or the Purchaser if there has been a material breach on the part of the other Party in any material representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in the APA, subject to certain provisions allowing the opportunity to cure such a breach.
For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement - Termination” beginning on page 22.
Fees and Expenses Related to Termination. The APA provides that there will be no liability on the part of Protexure or the Purchaser in the event of a termination permitted by the APA, unless such termination
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

results from the willful misrepresentation or willful breach by a party of a covenant of such party contained in the APA. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement - Fees and Expenses Related to Termination” beginning on page 22.
Restrictions on Sale Discussions and Other Activities Involving Third Parties. The APA restricts our ability to explore the sale of any of Protexure’s assets or shares of capital stock to a third party, or a merger or consolidation of Protexure with any other entity. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement - Restrictions on Sale Discussions and Other Activities Involving Third Parties” beginning on page 22.
Indemnification. Protexure and the Purchaser have agreed to indemnify each other (and each of their successors and permitted assigns) for (a) damages as a result of certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or obligations contained in the APA or any other Acquisition Document (as defined in the APA) or any other instrument contemplated by the APA or other Acquisition Document, and (b) claims for any broker’s or finder’s fee or similar fee charged for commission. Further, Protexure has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser (and its successors and permitted assigns) for (a) certain damages with respect to taxes, (b) certain damages relating to environmental law violations, (c) liabilities to employees or to third parties for personal injury, death, or damage to property arising out of or occurring in connection with products sold or services rendered by Protexure, and (d) certain claims made by former or current employees under any employee benefit plan. The aggregate amount of all damages for which Protexure may be liable for indemnification under the APA is limited to $150,000. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 - THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement - Indemnification” beginning on page 23.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Asset Sale. Upon completion of the Asset Sale, we will remove the net assets and assumed liabilities sold from our consolidated balance sheet and we anticipate recording a loss from the Asset Sale. Immediately subsequent to the Asset Sale, the remaining trade receivables and payables of Protexure will be collected/settled. It is then intended to liquidate Protexure and apply the liquidation basis of accounting. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Asset Sale” beginning on page 16.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The proposed Asset Sale will be treated as a sale of corporate assets in exchange for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. We believe that our adjusted tax basis in the assets being sold will exceed the sales proceeds that will be received from the Purchaser; should that be the case, we will not incur any U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Asset Sale. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale” beginning on page 17.
Risk Factors. In evaluating the Asset Sale Proposal, in addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement, you should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the Asset Sale included in the section below entitled “RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE ASSET SALE” beginning on page 11.
Regulatory Approvals. We are unaware of any material U.S. federal or state, or foreign regulatory requirements or approvals required for the execution of the APA or completion of the Asset Sale.
Appraisal Rights. Under Bermuda law, no appraisal rights arise due to the execution, delivery or performance of the APA or the consummation of the Asset Sale or any other transactions contemplated by the APA. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL – Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 18.
Required Vote. The approval of the Asset Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast thereon, assuming that a quorum is present at the Special General Meeting. For more information, see the section below entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL – Required Vote” beginning on page 18.

The Asset Sale
Q.
What is the proposed transaction?
A.
The proposed transaction is the sale of substantially all of Protexure’s assets (other than cash and certain excluded assets) to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million payable in cash at closing, pursuant to the APA.
Q:
What will happen to the Company after the Asset Sale and will any of the proceeds from the Asset Sale be distributed to me?
A:
If the shareholders approve the APA and we complete the Asset Sale, we will have no significant assets or revenue and expect to cease to do business and to not engage in any business activities except for dealing with post-closing matters and, subject to further shareholder approval, liquidating our remaining assets, paying any debts and obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders, and doing other acts required to voluntarily liquidate and wind up our business and affairs. If our Board determines to voluntarily liquidate and wind up the Company, the Board will submit a proposal to the shareholders recommending such actions. We will pay or make provision for payment of our known or reasonably ascertainable liabilities that have been

incurred or are expected to be incurred prior to liquidation. After that, the shareholders will be invited to approve resolutions placing the Company into voluntary liquidation and appointing a liquidator. A liquidator will be obliged to distribute surplus assets, if any (after settling any remaining liabilities), to the shareholders in proportion to their respective interests in the Company.
Q.
Why is our Board recommending the Asset Sale?
A.
Our Board believes that the Asset Sale and the APA are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders.

A.
Yes. You should carefully read the section below entitled “RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE ASSET SALE” beginning on page 11.
Q.
What will happen if shareholders do not approve the Asset Sale at the Special General Meeting?
A.
If the Asset Sale is not approved and therefore not completed, our Board will evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our shareholders as the Asset Sale.

the satisfaction of the conditions to consummate the Asset Sale, including the adoption and approval of the APA and approval of the Asset Sale by our shareholders;
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the APA;
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us and others following the announcement of the APA;
the amount of the costs, fees, expenses, and charges related to the Asset Sale;
the effect of the announcement of the Asset Sale on our customer relationships, operating results and business generally, including the ability to retain key employees; and

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE ASSET SALE
In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement, you should carefully consider the following risk factors when deciding whether to vote to approve the Asset Sale Proposal. You should also consider the information in our other reports on file with the SEC. See section below entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 25.
There are no guarantees that the Asset Sale will be completed and, if not completed, we may have to pursue strategic alternatives that may not be as favorable to you as the Asset Sale.
The consummation of the Asset Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including the approval of the Asset Sale by our shareholders. We cannot guarantee that the closing conditions set forth in the APA will be satisfied. If we are unable to satisfy the closing conditions in the Purchaser’s favor or if other mutual closing conditions are not satisfied, the Purchaser will not be obligated to complete the Asset Sale. If the Asset Sale is not completed, our Board will evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our shareholders as the Asset Sale. Further, if the Asset Sale is not consummated, our relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees may be damaged beyond repair, and the value of our assets will likely significantly decline. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination will likely materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and may force us to liquidate and wind up our operations.
Even if the Asset Sale is consummated, we cannot assure you as to the amount and timing of liquidating distributions, if any, that will be made to our shareholders.
Even if the Asset Sale is consummated, any liquidation, dissolution, and winding up process will be subject to uncertainties. The amount and timing of any liquidating distributions to our shareholders will depend on the following factors, among others:
whether any potential claimants could present claims against us relating to our pre-dissolution operations that we may ultimately have to satisfy;
the costs we may incur to defend new claims, including possible claims against us relating to our dissolution and possible tax audits, and claims existing as of the date of this proxy statement;
the payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Asset Sale;
the expenses that we will need to pay, including general administrative and overhead costs and expenses as an operating company, before our dissolution and any amounts that we will need to pay in connection with our post-dissolution survival period, if any;
the costs we will continue to incur as a publicly held reporting company pending liquidation, including legal and auditing fees, as well as the costs of obtaining shareholder approval to voluntarily liquidate; and
the amount of funds we will be required to reserve to provide for contingent liabilities, and how long it may take to finally determine whether and the extent to which those liabilities may have to be paid.
While the Asset Sale is pending, it creates uncertainty about our future, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
While the Asset Sale is pending, it creates uncertainty about our future. Therefore, our current or potential business partners may decide to delay, defer, or cancel new business arrangements with us pending consummation of the Asset Sale or termination of the APA. In addition, while the Asset Sale is pending, we are subject to a number of risks, including:
the diversion of management and employee attention from our day-to-day business, which impacts our ability to operate our business in the ordinary course and generate revenues;
the loss of employees who may depart due to their concern about losing their jobs following the Asset Sale or a shift in loyalty of employees of Protexure who see the Purchaser as their de facto employer even before the consummation of the Asset Sale; and
our inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments, and future opportunities.
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We have also incurred substantial transaction costs in connection with the Asset Sale, and we will continue to do so until the consummation or termination of the Asset Sale.
The failure to consummate the Asset Sale by the prescribed deadline will likely result in the Asset Sale being abandoned.
Either the Purchaser or Protexure may terminate the APA if the Asset Sale is not completed by September 30, 2023 (provided that this right will not be available to a party who fails or refuses to consummate the transaction or to take any other action referred to in the APA as necessary to consummate the transaction in breach of such party’s obligations contained in the APA). In the event the APA is terminated, the potential adverse effects from failing to consummate the Asset Sale discussed above would be implicated.
Our executive officers and directors may have interests in the Asset Sale other than, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally.
In considering the recommendation of our Board with respect to the approval of the Asset Sale, our shareholders should be aware that (a) F. Kyle Nieman III, who will be an employee of Purchaser if the Asset Sale is consummated and who was involved in the negotiation of the sale of Protexure, will receive severance payments and other benefits (described further below) pursuant to his employment agreement with Protexure in connection with the Asset Sale, if consummated, and (b) if the Asset Sale is consummated and the Company voluntarily liquidates, paying off any debts and obligations, the Company will make payments to members of our Board for unpaid director fees (earned in the ordinary course of each member’s service on the Board) that have been accruing since 2020. These interests may create potential conflicts of interest. Our Board was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in approving the APA and the Asset Sale and making its recommendation that our shareholders vote in favor of the Asset Sale Proposal.
We will no longer be an operating company following the closing of the Asset Sale.
If the shareholders approve the APA and we complete the Asset Sale, we expect to cease to do business and to not engage in any business activities except for dealing with post-closing matters and, subject to further shareholder approval, liquidating our remaining assets, paying any debts and obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders, and doing other acts required to voluntarily liquidate and wind up our business and affairs. We will pay or make provision for payment of our known or reasonably ascertainable liabilities that have been incurred or are expected to be incurred prior to liquidation. After that, we will recommend that our shareholders approve resolutions placing the Company into voluntary liquidation and appointing a liquidator. A liquidator will be obliged to distribute any surplus assets (after settling any remaining liabilities) to our shareholders in proportion to their respective interest in the Company. In considering how to vote on the Asset Sale Proposal, shareholders should not assume that they will receive any distributions from the Company. If shareholders approve the APA but do not approve resolutions placing the Company into voluntary liquidation, the Company’s future would be subject to considerable uncertainty.
The tax treatment of the Asset Sale or any liquidating distributions may vary from shareholder to shareholder, and the discussions in this proxy statement regarding such tax treatment are general in nature.
You should consult your own tax advisor instead of relying on the discussions of tax treatment in this proxy statement for tax advice.
We have not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to the anticipated tax consequences of the Asset Sale, and we will not seek an opinion of counsel with respect to the anticipated tax consequences of the Asset Sale. If any of the anticipated tax consequences described in this proxy statement proves to be incorrect, the result could be increased taxation at the corporate and/or shareholder level, thus reducing the benefit to our shareholders and us from any liquidation and distributions. Tax considerations applicable to particular shareholders may vary with and be contingent upon the shareholder’s individual circumstances.
We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert our attention.
We may be subject to class action or other securities litigation in connection with the Asset Sale. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from closing the Asset Sale, which could harm our business and increase our expenses, which could decrease the amount available for distribution, if any, to our shareholders.

PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL
This discussion of the Asset Sale is qualified by reference to the APA, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. You should read the entire APA carefully as it is the legal document that governs the Asset Sale.
General; Effects on the Company if the Asset Sale is Completed; Use of Proceeds
On June 15, 2023, Protexure entered into the APA with the Purchaser. The APA provides for the sale of substantially all of Protexure’s assets to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million payable in cash at closing, subject to certain conditions discussed below. Protexure will retain its cash and cash equivalents, along with other assets specifically excluded from the Asset Sale. If the shareholders approve the APA and we complete the Asset Sale, (a) the Company, and not our shareholders, will receive all of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale, and (b) we expect to cease to do business and to not engage in any business activities except for dealing with post-closing matters and, subject to further shareholder approval, liquidating our remaining assets (including the proceeds from the Asset Sale), paying any debts and obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders, and doing other acts required to voluntarily liquidate and wind up our business and affairs. If our Board determines to voluntarily liquidate and wind up the Company, the Board will submit a proposal to the shareholders recommending such actions. We will pay or make provision for payment of our known or reasonably ascertainable liabilities that have been incurred or are expected to be incurred prior to liquidation. After that, the shareholders will be invited to approve resolutions placing the Company into voluntary liquidation and appointing a liquidator. A liquidator will be obliged to distribute surplus assets, if any (after settling any remaining liabilities), to the shareholders in proportion to their respective interests in the Company.
Background of the Proposed Sale
In August 2019, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to sell Protexure, and the Board engaged WHA to explore strategic alternatives for Protexure.
WHA reached out to 13 parties that it believed might be interested in Protexure and received three indications of interest from May to July 2020.
In late 2020, Protexure’s sole insurance carrier terminated its business relationships with Protexure. At that time, a sale of Protexure on favorable terms was not viable due to the declining revenue and profitability outlook for Protexure, causing potential buyers at the time to no longer be willing to purchase Protexure until it found a stable insurance carrier to replace the previous carrier and the new outlook for Protexure could be assessed.
The Company decided to pause the sale process for Protexure to focus on finding a new carrier while maintaining communications with the potential buyers.
In May 2022, a potential bidder contacted the Company expressing an interest in purchasing Protexure, prompting the Company to consider doing a market check for interested buyers for Protexure.
In November 2022, the Company sent a letter to its shareholders disclosing its intent to re-engage in a sale process for Protexure.
WHA resumed the sale process and negotiations by reaching out to 17 potential buyers. In determining the list of potential buyers, WHA leveraged interested parties and insights from previous discussions regarding the possible sale of Protexure in conjunction with further outbound marketing to a select group of new, well-positioned potential buyers. Outbound marketing efforts identified 11 of the potential buyers and inbound inquiries (received by WHA or Mr. Nieman) helped to identify the other six.
On December 6, 2022, the board of Protexure Insurance Agency, Inc. met to discuss the efforts to sell Protexure and the interest of potential buyers.
WHA contacted 16 out of the 17 potential buyers by December 2022 and received executed non-disclosure agreements from 10 of them. WHA distributed the executive summary of the Protexure offering to 10 of these potential buyers and facilitated a limited number of discussions between such potential buyers and management.
In December 2022, Gary Sutherland, Managing Director of McGowanPro, reached out to Mr. Nieman regarding the Purchaser’s interest in Protexure after viewing the letter to shareholders sent by the Company in November 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In January 2023, Protexure and the Purchaser entered into a non-disclosure agreement, and the Company sent an executive summary of Protexure to the Purchaser.
On February 8, 2023, a pre-bid management discussion took place between Mr. Nieman, members of Purchaser’s management, and WHA. The topics of discussion included general introductions to the business of each party, go-forward strategy, technology, carrier relationships, and culture.
By mid-February 2023, WHA received three formal letters of intent (one of which was from the Purchaser, which was submitted on February 15, 2023) and one indication of interest communicated via email.
On February 23, 2023, the board of Protexure Insurance Agency, Inc. met to discuss the sale of Protexure, including the proposed terms of the offer from the Purchaser.
The Company reviewed the letter of intent with its counsel and exchanged multiple rounds of comments with the Purchaser until March 1, 2023. The parties executed the letter of intent on March 6, 2023.
During March and April 2023, the Purchaser conducted a formal due diligence review of Protexure, which included on-site due diligence meetings, due diligence questionnaires, and a review of due diligence materials uploaded to a virtual data room. The on-site due diligence meetings took place on April 4, 2023 and April 5, 2023 and were attended by members of management of the Purchaser and Protexure as well as WHA. The topics covered at those meetings included business overviews, demonstrations and deep dives into areas including technology, accounting, operations (carriers, brokers, underwriting, etc.), information technology infrastructure and development, sales and marketing, legal, and intellectual property.
On April 10, 2023, the Purchaser sent the Company an initial draft of the APA.
On April 20, 2023, the board of Protexure Insurance Agency, Inc. met to discuss an overview of the proposed sale of Protexure to the Purchaser, including an update on the review of the APA.
The Purchaser and the Company exchanged comments to the APA until June 8, 2023.
On June 15, 2023, the Board met to approve the APA and Protexure executed the APA.
Reasons for the Asset Sale and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
Until early 2020, the Company generated revenue from multiple sources, including commission income generated by Protexure, as well as reinsurance income (generated by AMIC Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd.) by taking a 50% quota share of the professional liability insurance placed by Protexure with The North River Insurance Company, United States Fire Insurance Company, Crum & Forster Indemnity Company, Crum and Forster Insurance Company, and Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company (collectively, “C&F”).
In early 2020, C&F (which was the primary source of business for the Company) identified several new, large losses in the business that AMIC Ltd. was reinsuring and, as a result, sharply increased its corresponding cash reserves. In the latter part of 2020, C&F ordered significant rate increases and made dramatic changes in certain underwriting rules and practices. In addition, C&F prohibited Protexure from underwriting business in seven states, some of which were responsible for significant portions of Protexure’s revenue.
In late 2020 and early 2021, it became clear that differences of opinion between the Company and C&F (stemming from the events described above) could not be resolved, and the parties reached the mutual decision to terminate their business relationships. The Company and the insurance company engaged in negotiations that ultimately concluded in the commutation of the reinsurance agreement with AMIC Ltd., effective as of March 31, 2021, and an orderly termination of the Managing General Agency arrangement with Protexure, effective as of March 31, 2022. Because AMIC Ltd. no longer functioned as a reinsurance company, it cancelled its Bermuda insurance license as of May 17, 2022.
Since the third quarter of 2021, Protexure’s brokerage and Managing General Agency activities have been the primary sources of revenue for the Company. The Board has concluded, when factoring in that AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. faces higher operational costs as a publicly held company, that it is not sustainable to continue the Company’s business with Protexure’s commissions as the only source of
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

revenue and that the continued erosion of the Company’s unrestricted cash resources to fund operating expenses raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern (indicating substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its current financial obligations over the next year). This could result in the Company’s inability to continue to operate and possibly force the Company into liquidation prematurely.
After consideration of events and factors described above, the Board concluded that its goal would be to enhance Protexure’s operation, increase its revenues, manage expenses, and posture Protexure for sale.
In November 2022, AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. sent a letter to its shareholders disclosing its intent to re-engage in a sale process for Protexure. For more information on the sale process, see the section above entitled “PROPOSAL 1 – THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL - Background of the Proposed Sale” beginning on page 13.
In considering the offer from the Purchaser, members of the Board have had regard to their duties, including the duty to act in good faith, in what they consider to be the best interests of the Company. The Board has determined that, given Protexure’s outlook, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders would be served by the sale of Protexure for the best price that can be reasonably obtained.
At the conclusion of the negotiation of the APA, our Board unanimously: (i) determined that the Asset Sale is fair and advisable to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, (ii) approved the APA and the Asset Sale, and (iii) recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Asset Sale and the APA. In the course of reaching that determination and recommendation, our Board considered a number of potentially supportive factors in its deliberations including:
The structure of the transaction as an all cash, asset purchase, with Protexure retaining the cash on its balance sheet, is attractive.
The cash-free/debt-free nature of the transaction should enable the Company to release some of Protexure’s cash to its shareholder,
The Purchaser’s proposal represented the highest valuation of and consideration for Protexure’s assets among valid proposals received,
The Purchaser’s significant mergers and acquisitions experience, coupled with its existing infrastructure and carrier relationships that are expected to enable it to turn around the Protexure business more readily than other suitors, should lead to a faster closing, less diligence risk, and a higher likelihood of reaching closing.
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by our Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth all of the material factors considered by our Board. Our Board reached the unanimous conclusion to approve and adopt the APA in light of the various factors described above and other factors that each member of our Board felt were appropriate. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by our Board in connection with its evaluation of the Asset Sale and the complexity of these matters, our Board did not consider it practical, and did not attempt to quantify, rank, or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision and did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to the ultimate determination of our Board. Rather, our Board made its recommendation based on the totality of information presented to it and the investigation conducted by it. In considering the factors discussed above, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.
After evaluating these factors and consulting with its legal counsel and other advisors, our Board determined that the APA was fair to and in the best interests of, our shareholders. Accordingly, our Board unanimously adopted and approved the APA.
Past Contacts, Transactions, or Negotiations
In 2022, Protexure placed Accountants Professional Liability business through McGowan Program Administrators (“MPA”), a subsidiary of the Purchaser. Protexure worked through MPA to access Hanover Insurance. The business placed with MPA was unrelated to the Asset Sale. Other than as described in the previous sentence and the section above entitled “Background of the Proposed Asset Sale,” during the past two years, we and the Purchaser have had no prior contacts, transactions, or negotiations, and, other than as described therein, there are
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

no present or proposed material agreements, arrangements, understandings, or relationships between our executive officers or directors and the Purchaser or its executive officers or directors.
Valuation
Our Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Asset Sale. Our Board determined that traditional valuation methodologies, including valuations based on EBITDA and revenue multiples, are not applicable due to the fact that Protexure has been generating negative earnings and expects to continue to do so in the near-term future. WHA performed a market check, as described more fully in the section above entitled “Background of the Proposed Sale,” contacting 17 potential buyers, providing an executive summary to ten such potential buyers that were interested, and ultimately receiving three letters of intent and one indication of interest. Our Board determined that, based on market multiples for comparable assets, the value ascribed to Protexure in the Purchaser’s offer was favorable compared to the other options available to the Board.
Projected Financial Information
Based upon Protexure’s financial results for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022, the ongoing and anticipated future impact of the factors impacting such results, and the fact that the operating results of Protexure following the Closing are expected to be impacted by the operations under its new ownership, Protexure’s management team, with assistance of WHA, prepared projected financial information for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 that was presented to the Board and distributed to 10 potential buyers, including the Purchaser.
The projected financial information mentioned above is summarized as follows (the “Projections”):

No independent accountants, including the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their achievability, and the independent accounting firm of the Company assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, the Projections.
The Projections are based on assumptions and estimates and subject to a substantial degree of uncertainty. The future financial results of Protexure may differ materially from those expressed in the Projections due to factors beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. We encourage you to review the financial statements and financial information included in Appendices B, C, and D in this proxy statement and to not rely on any single financial measure.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Asset Sale
Under generally accepted accounting principles, upon completion of the Asset Sale, we will remove the net assets and assumed liabilities sold from our consolidated balance sheet and we anticipate recording a loss from the Asset Sale.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale
The following discussion is a general summary of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, currently applicable and proposed Treasury regulations under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), and published rulings and decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local, and non-U.S. laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to income tax, are not addressed in this proxy statement. The following discussion has no binding effect on the IRS or the courts.
Since substantially all the assets of the Company are being sold, the Asset Sale will most likely be considered a liquidating distribution. Shareholders will need to compare their stock basis to the proceeds they receive from liquidation, with the difference being either a capital gain or capital loss.
The proposed Asset Sale will be treated as a sale of corporate assets in exchange for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. We believe that our adjusted tax basis in the assets being sold will exceed the sales proceeds that will be received from the Purchaser; should that be the case, we will not incur any U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Asset Sale. In the event that we were to realize a gain as a result of the proposed Asset Sale, we anticipate that our tax attributes, including our U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), will be available to offset all or a portion of our U.S. federal income tax liability resulting from such gain.
In addition, Section 382 of the Code may limit our ability to use our NOLs. In general, Section 382 of the Code provides that a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to annual limitations on its ability to use its pre-change NOLs or other tax attributes to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes. Our past issuances of stock and other changes in our stock ownership may have resulted in an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code; accordingly, our pre-change NOLs may be subject to limitation under Section 382.
The determination of whether we will realize gain or loss on the proposed Asset Sale and whether and to what extent our tax attributes, including our NOLs, will be available to offset any gain that may be realized is highly complex and is based in part upon facts that will not be known until the completion of the Asset Sale. Therefore, it is possible that we will incur U.S. federal income tax as a result of the proposed Asset Sale.
Effects on the Company if the Asset Sale is Not Completed
With the commutation of AMIC Ltd.’s reinsurance relationships, Protexure’s brokerage and Managing General Agency activities are the primary sources of prospective revenue for the Company. Being that AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. faces higher operational costs as a publicly held company, it has become clear to the Board that it would not be sustainable to continue the Company’s business with Protexure’s commissions as the only source of revenue and that the continued erosion of the Company’s unrestricted cash resources to fund operating expenses raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This could result in the Company’s inability to continue to operate and possibly force the Company into liquidation prematurely.
If the Asset Sale is not completed, our Board will evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our shareholders as the Asset Sale.
Going Concern
The Company has performed the evaluation required by Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2023. ASC 205-40 requires an evaluation of whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date on which the financial statements are issued. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that, under the standards of ASC 205-40, the continued erosion of the Company’s unrestricted cash resources to fund operating expenses raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As required under ASC 205-40, management’s evaluation does not initially take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date on which the financial statements are issued.
Unless shareholders approve the Asset Sale, management does not believe it is probable that the plan in place can effectively be implemented to mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale
In considering the recommendation of our Board with respect to the approval of the Asset Sale, our shareholders should be aware that (a) F. Kyle Nieman III, who will be an employee of Purchaser if the Asset Sale is consummated and who was involved in the negotiation of the sale of Protexure, will receive severance payments and other benefits (described further below) pursuant to his employment agreement with Protexure in connection with the Asset Sale, if consummated, and (b) if the Asset Sale is consummated and the Company voluntarily liquidates, paying off any debts and obligations, the Company will make payments to members of our Board for unpaid director fees (earned in the ordinary course of each member’s service on the Board) that have been accruing since 2020. These interests may create potential conflicts of interest. Our Board was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in approving the APA and the Asset Sale and making its recommendation that our shareholders vote in favor of the Asset Sale Proposal.
We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Nieman, effective as of May 20, 2019, pursuant to which he is entitled to receive severance payments equal to 100% of his annual base salary as well as other benefits, including (i) any portion of his salary that had accrued but had not yet been paid (including any amount for accrued and unused vacation payable), (ii) bonus earned on a pro-rata basis, (iii) any reimbursement due under Protexure’s standard business expense reimbursement policies and procedures, and (iv) any amounts payable to him pursuant to any of Protexure’s incentive or deferred compensation plans as may exist as of the time of termination, if he is terminated by Protexure without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or terminates his employment with Protexure for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), whether or not in connection with a change of control of Protexure. If the Asset Sale is consummated, Protexure will terminate Mr. Nieman, and such termination will be considered to be without cause. Under the terms of his employment agreement, in order to receive the severance payments and other benefits described above, Mr. Nieman must execute and not revoke a separation agreement and general release and waiver of claims against Protexure.
Appraisal Rights
Under Bermuda law, no appraisal rights arise due to the execution, delivery or performance of the APA or the consummation of the Asset Sale or any other transactions contemplated by the APA. The Bermuda Supreme Court may permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a Bermuda company to remedy a wrong done to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or is illegal or would result in the violation of the company’s memorandum of continuance and bye-laws, or acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders by majority shareholders or other controllers of a Bermuda company or, for instance, where a resolution is adopted by the shareholders without necessary voting thresholds having been met. Under section 111 of the Companies Act 1981 (Bermuda law), a shareholder of a Bermuda company who complains that the affairs of a Bermuda company are being conducted, or have been conducted, in a manner oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some of the shareholders, including himself, may petition the Bermuda Supreme Court.
Required Vote
Approval of the Asset Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast thereon, assuming a quorum is present. If you vote to “abstain,” your shares will not be counted in the determination of the shares of Common Stock voting on the Asset Sale Proposal, but will be counted for quorum purposes. Broker non-votes are counted for quorum purposes, are not counted in the vote on the Asset Sale Proposal, and may be voted at the discretion of the broker on the Adjournment Proposal.
Regulatory Approvals
We are unaware of any material U.S. federal or state or foreign regulatory requirements or approvals required for the execution of the APA or completion of the Asset Sale.
Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement
This section of the proxy statement contains a description of the material provisions of the APA but does not purport to describe all the provisions of the APA. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the APA, which is included as Annex A to this proxy statement and is incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. We urge you to read the full text of the APA, because it is the legal document that governs the Asset Sale.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The APA and this summary of terms are included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the APA and are not intended to provide you with any other factual information about us. Factual disclosures about the Company contained in this proxy statement or in the public reports of AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. filed with the SEC may supplement, update, or modify the factual disclosures about the Company contained in the APA. The APA contains representations and warranties by Protexure made solely for the benefit of the Purchaser. The representations, warranties, and covenants made in the APA by Protexure were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by Protexure and the Purchaser in connection with negotiating the terms of the APA. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the APA and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the APA may have the right not to consummate the Asset Sale if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the APA, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties also may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC or other regulatory bodies, and some were qualified by the matters contained in the confidential disclosure schedules that Protexure delivered in connection with the APA. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement, may have changed since the date of the APA. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the APA should not be relied on by any person as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Protexure at the time they were made or otherwise and should be read only in conjunction with the other information provided elsewhere in this proxy statement or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. Factual information about us can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement and in the other public filings we make with the SEC, which are available without charge at www.sec.gov. Please see the section below entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 25.

Termination
The APA provides that such agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, under certain circumstances. The situations in which the APA may be terminated include:
by written mutual consent of Protexure and the Purchaser;
by Protexure or the Purchaser if the Asset Sale is not completed by September 30, 2023, provided that this termination right will not be available to a party who fails or refuses to consummate the transactions contemplated by the APA or to take any other action referred to in the APA as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the APA in breach of such party’s obligations contained in the APA; and
by either the Purchaser or Protexure if there has been a material breach on the part of the other party in any material representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in the APA that is not cured within ten business days after such other party has been notified of the intent to terminate the APA pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the APA.
Allocation of Policy Revenues and Responsibilities
The APA provides for an allocation of revenues and responsibilities with respect to the Policies (as defined in the APA) as between Protexure and the Purchaser. The APA provides, generally, that (a) Protexure is entitled to the benefits of, and responsible for the obligations relating to, the Policies and endorsements effective prior to the Closing Date; and (b) the Purchaser is entitled to the benefits of, and responsible for the obligations relating to, the Policies and endorsements effective on and after the Closing Date. The APA further provides that each of Protexure and the Purchaser will be responsible for its own errors and omissions at all times.
Fees and Expenses Related to Termination
The APA provides that there will be no liability on the part of Protexure or the Purchaser in the event of a termination permitted by the APA; provided, however, that if such termination occurs pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the APA and results from the willful misrepresentation or willful breach by a party of a covenant of such party contained in this Agreement, such party is fully liable for any and claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs and legal, accounting, and other expenses in connection therewith) sustained or incurred as a result of such breach, except as such liability is limited by Section 11.11 of the APA.
Transaction Fees and Expenses
Except as described above, each of Protexure and the Purchaser will pay its own fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, legal costs, and expenses) incurred in connection with the APA, the other Acquisition Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the APA and the other Acquisition Documents.

The Company’s other fees and expenses arising from the Asset Sale are expected to approximate $150,000 - $250,000.
Amendment and Waiver
The APA may be amended only if such amendment is in writing and is signed by the Purchaser and Protexure. Any failure by Protexure or the Purchaser to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement, or condition contained in the APA may be expressly waived in writing by the other, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
Restrictions on Sale Discussions and Other Activities Involving Third Parties
The APA provides that Protexure may not, directly or indirectly, in any way, contact, initiate, enter into, or conduct any discussions or negotiations, or enter into any agreements, whether written or oral, with any person or entity with respect to the sale of any of Protexure’s assets or shares of capital stock, or a merger or consolidation of Protexure with any other entity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Indemnification
Protexure and the Purchaser have agreed to indemnify each other (and each of their successors and permitted assigns) for (a) damages as a result of certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or obligations contained in the APA or any other Acquisition Document or any other instrument contemplated by the APA or other Acquisition Document, and (b) claims for any broker’s or finder’s fee or similar fee charged for commission. A party’s damages from breaches of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or obligations must exceed $25,000 in the aggregate before the other party is required to pay for any damages in connection with indemnification claims for such breaches.
Further, Protexure has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser (and its successors and permitted assigns) for (a) certain damages with respect to taxes, (b) certain damages relating to environmental law violations, (c) liabilities to employees or to third parties for personal injury, death, or damage to property arising out of or occurring in connection with products sold or services rendered by Protexure, and (d) certain claims made by former or current employees under any employee benefit plan.
The representations and warranties survive for a period of three months after the Closing Date (the “End Date”), after which a claim for indemnification may not be made by either party; however, if before the End Date, one party has notified the other party of a claim for indemnity (whether or not formal legal action will have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim will continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with the APA.
The aggregate amount of all damages for which either Protexure or the Purchaser may be liable for indemnification under the APA is limited to $150,000.
The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Asset Sale Proposal.

PROPOSAL 2 – THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
Adjournment of the Special General Meeting
In the event that the number of shares of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special General Meeting and voting “FOR” the Asset Sale proposal is insufficient to approve the proposal, we may move to adjourn the Special General Meeting in order to enable our Board to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Asset Sale proposal. In that event, we will ask our shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Asset Sale proposal. In addition, pursuant to our Bye-laws, the presiding officer of the Special General Meeting has the authority to adjourn the Special General Meeting with the consent of the shareholders present. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Vote Required and Board Recommendation
Approval of the proposal to adjourn the Special General Meeting to a later date requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares voted, provided that a quorum is present.
Abstentions are not counted for the purpose of determining the number of votes cast and will therefore not have any effect with respect to this Adjournment Proposal. Broker non-votes are counted for quorum purposes and may be voted at the discretion of the broker on the Adjournment Proposal.
The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

(ii)
Damages & Costs.
If the Seller or the Special Shareholder commits a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 8.5., the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an amount from the Seller and/or the Special Shareholder for such breach equivalent to all costs that the Purchaser expends to enforce the Purchaser’s rights under Section 8.5. of this Agreement, whether in contemplation of or following said breach, including, but not limited to, court costs and attorney costs, as well as interest upon all costs.

The award of damages under this Section 8.5. does not limit the Purchaser’s rights to equitable relief under this Agreement.

ANNEX B

COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Deferred tax asset – Refer to Notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character. The Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 were $232,000, net of a $1.6m valuation allowance.
B-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Auditing the Company’s valuation and realizability of deferred tax assets, including significant assumptions relating to the projection of future taxable income, involved especially subjective auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our tax specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the deferred tax asset included the following, among others:
We evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions and judgements used by management to determine whether a valuation allowance was necessary, and the extent of the valuation allowance.
We evaluated management’s ability to accurately estimate taxable income by comparing actual results to management’s historical estimates.
We tested the reasonableness of management’s estimates of taxable income by comparing the estimates to:
Internal Budgets
Historical Taxable income
Management’s history of carrying out its stated plans and its ability to carry out plans
With the assistance of our tax specialists, we evaluated whether the sources of management’s estimated taxable income were of appropriate character and sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets under the relevant tax laws.
We evaluated whether the estimates of future taxable income were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Hamilton, Bermuda

We have served as the Company's auditor since 1998.

(“AIIC Inc.”), were engaged in the reinsurance of claims-made insurance policies of participants in an American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) sponsored insurance program that provided accountants’ professional liability insurance coverage (“AICPA Plan”) through December 31, 2008. Effective December 30, 2020, AMIC Ltd. merged with its wholly owned subsidiary, AmerInst Investment Company, Ltd., with AMIC Ltd. being the surviving entity.
Agency Agreements with C&F and ISMIE
On September 25, 2009, Protexure Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Protexure”), a subsidiary of AmerInst, entered into an agency agreement (the “C&F Agency Agreement”) with The North River Insurance Company, United States Fire Insurance Company, Crum & Forster Indemnity Company, Crum and Forster Insurance Company, and Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company (collectively, “C&F”) pursuant to which C&F appointed Protexure as its exclusive agent for the purposes of soliciting, underwriting, quoting, binding, issuing, cancelling, non-renewing and endorsing accountants’ professional liability and lawyers’ professional liability insurance coverage in all 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia.
In 2021, C&F and Protexure signed an addendum to the C&F Agency Agreement which terminated the C&F Agency Agreement effective March 31, 2022. Under the terms of the addendum, Protexure was permitted to issue new and renewal professional liability policies on behalf of C&F with effective dates no later than March 31, 2022.
Effective January 1, 2022, Protexure entered into a Managing General Agency Agreement (the “ISMIE Agency Agreement”) with Amwins Specialty Casualty Solutions, LLC for policies written by ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company (“ISMIE”). Protexure is transitioning the lawyers and accountants’ professional liability policies previously written with C&F to ISMIE. Certain policies are and will also be written by the Hanover Insurance Company. The C&F Agency Agreement and the ISMIE Agency Agreement are referred to herein as, collectively, the “Agency Agreements.”
Reinsurance Agreement
We previously conducted reinsurance business through AMIC Ltd., our subsidiary, which was a registered insurer in Bermuda. On September 25, 2009, AMIC Ltd. entered into a professional liability quota share agreement with C&F (the “Reinsurance Agreement”) pursuant to which C&F agreed to cede, and AMIC Ltd. agreed to accept as reinsurance, a 50% quota share of C&F’s liability under insurance written by Protexure on behalf of C&F and classified by C&F as accountants’ professional liability and lawyers’ professional liability, subject to AMIC Ltd.’s surplus limitations. Policies written by insurers other than C&F were not subject to the 50% quota share reinsurance to AMIC Ltd.
During the third quarter of 2021, C&F and AMIC Ltd. entered into a commutation agreement (the “C&F Commutation Agreement”), which became effective as of March 31, 2021, whereby C&F and AMIC Ltd. agreed to fully and finally settle and commute all their respective past, present and future obligations and liabilities, known and unknown, under the Reinsurance Agreement. In accordance with the C&F Commutation Agreement, in full satisfaction of AMIC Ltd.’s past, present and future obligations and liabilities under the Reinsurance Agreement, an aggregate sum of $26,076,000 was paid by AMIC Ltd. to C&F in October 2021. Following the commutation of all of AMIC’s reinsurance business and the decision by the Company’s board of directors not to resume reinsurance operations through AMIC, the Company made an application to the BMA to cancel AMIC’s insurance license. Effective May 17, 2022, AMIC Ltd.’s Class 3A insurance license was cancelled by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA).
Historical Relationship with CAMICO
From June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2009, we were a party to a reinsurance contract with CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company (“CAMICO”), a California-based writer of accountants’ professional liability business. We decided not to renew the CAMICO contract and permitted the contract to expire pursuant to its terms on May 31, 2009. We remained potentially liable for claims related to coverage through May 31, 2009.

In accordance with the CAMICO Commutation Agreement, in full satisfaction of AMIC Ltd.’s past present and future obligations and liabilities under the reinsurance contract between CAMICO and AMIC Ltd., an aggregate sum of $15,000 was paid by CAMICO to AMIC Ltd. in March 2022.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of AmerInst and its operating wholly-owned subsidiaries, AmerInst Mezco, Ltd. (“Mezco”), AMIC Ltd., and Protexure. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s financial statements include but are not limited to the estimates of future taxable income to determine valuation allowances on deferred taxes.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents include money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term, liquid nature of these securities.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Developmental costs for internal use software are capitalized in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”, generally, when the preliminary project stage is completed, management commits to funding and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Capitalized internal use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally for a period not to exceed 5 years.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences and benefits attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company adjusts valuation allowances to measure deferred tax assets at the amounts considered realizable in future periods, which is assessed at each balance sheet date. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and recent financial operating results.
Earnings per common share
Basic earnings per share is determined as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the impact of the Company’s stock option plan.

Commission Income
Our primary source of revenue is derived from commissions earned on the placement of lawyers’ and accountants’ professional liability insurance under the ISMIE Agency Agreement. We recognize revenue for most of these arrangements as of a point in time at the later of the policy inception date or when the policy placement is complete because this is viewed as the date when control is transferred and all obligations are complete.

8. TAXATION
Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its subsidiaries are not required to pay taxes in Bermuda on either income or capital gains. The Company has received an undertaking from the Bermuda government that, in the event of income or capital gains taxes being imposed, the Company will be exempted from such taxes until the year 2035.
However, Protexure which is a Delaware corporation domiciled in the state of Illinois is subject to taxation in the United States.
Estimates of future taxable income, including income generated from prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require us to consider any potential impact to our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Such potential impact could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations for an individual reporting period.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
AmerInst currently does not have a public market for its common stock, but the Company has historically purchased shares from the Company’s shareholders upon their death, disability or retirement from the practice of public accounting. The repurchase price has been equal to the year-end net book value per share for the most recently completed fiscal year reduced by the amount of any dividends already paid on the repurchased shares during the calendar year of the repurchase and any dividends the shareholder would be entitled to receive on the repurchased shares that have not been paid. In addition, the BMA has authorized additional purchase on a negotiated case-by-case basis, and such purchases have typically been negotiated share repurchases when requested by Company shareholders.
On February 25, 2011, the Board of Directors amended and restated AmerInst’s Statement of Share Ownership Policy to better manage our cash flow from year to year. Under the revised policy, we limit AMIC Ltd.’s repurchases of our common stock to $500,000 per calendar year. In addition, AMIC Ltd. is only authorized to repurchase shares, with Board approval, from shareholders upon their death, disability or retirement from the practice of public accounting. In October 2020, the Board temporarily (i) suspended the amended and restated AmerInst’s Statement of Share Ownership Policy and (ii) discontinued the repurchases of our common stock, as a measure to preserve the Company’s capital base. In the future, the Board may consider reinstating the amended and restated AmerInst’s Statement of Share Ownership Policy if market conditions and the Company’s capital base support reinstatement.
10. PREMIUMS WRITTEN
Premiums written were $0 and ($2,041,258) during 2022 and 2021, respectively. The lack of premiums written in 2022 reflects AMIC Ltd.’s cancellation of its insurance license, and the ceasing of reinsurance operations.
11. OPERATING AND MANAGEMENT EXPENSES
With the exception of Protexure, AmerInst and its other direct and indirect subsidiaries have no employees. Their operating activities, as well as certain management functions, are performed by contracted professional service

providers. Davies Captive Management Limited provides AmerInst and AMIC Ltd. certain management, administrative and operations services under the direction of AmerInst’s Board of Directors pursuant to an agreement. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon not more than 90 days nor less than 60 days prior written notice. Mr. Thomas R. McMahon, our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, is an officer, director and employee of Davies Captive Management Limited. The Company paid Davies Captive Management Limited $147,500 and $352,322 in fees during 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Operating and management expenses include compensation accrued for payment to members of the Board of Directors and various committees of the Board totaling $59,350 in 2022 and $148,924 in 2021. Payment of compensation to directors has been deferred for cash preservation.
12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
AmerInst has two reportable segments: (1) reinsurance and corporate, previously called the reinsurance segment, through which the company provided reinsurance under the now commuted reinsurance agreements, conducted investment operations and conducts other corporate activities and (2) insurance activity, through which the Company offers professional liability solutions to professional service firms under the Agency Agreements, as defined in the “Overview” section above. The tables below summarize the results of our reportable segments as of and for December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

13. STOCK COMPENSATION
Phantom Shares:
Protexure has employment agreements with two key members of senior management, which grant them phantom shares of the Company. Under these agreements, these employees were initially granted an aggregate of 48,762 phantom shares of the Company on the date of their employment, subject to certain vesting requirements. The phantom shares are eligible for phantom dividends payable at the same rate as regular dividends on the Company’s common shares. The phantom dividends may be used only to purchase additional phantom shares with the purchase price of such phantom shares being the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares as of the end of the previous quarter. During the year, no phantom shares were granted.
For these two employees, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, vested on January 1, 2015. The liability payable to each of these employees under the phantom share agreements is equal to the value of the phantom shares based on the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares at the end of the previous quarter less the value of phantom shares initially granted and is payable in cash upon (i) the participant’s death, termination of employment due to disability, retirement at or after age 65 or resignation for good reason, (ii) termination of the participant by the Company without cause, (iii) termination by Participant without good reason or (iv) change in control.

62,920 phantom shares were outstanding at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of vested phantom shares for the year ended December 31, 2022:

The liability relating to these phantom shares is recalculated quarterly based on the net book value of our common shares at the end of each quarter. As a result of the overall decrease in the net book value of our common shares since the grant dates, we have not recorded any liability relating to these phantom shares at December 31, 2022.

The Company accounts for these options in accordance with GAAP, which requires that the fair value of the equity awards be recognized as compensation expense over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award. The Company is amortizing compensation expense over the vesting period, or five years. The Company recognized $0 of compensation expense for stock options in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Protexure leases office space under a non-cancellable lease agreement. The lease is renewable at the option of the lessee under certain conditions. In March 2023, the company executed a lease extension to July 31, 2024. Minimum lease payments, subsequent to December 31, 2022 are $101,578 in 2023 and $57,746 in 2024.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. (“AmerInst”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the end of and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. These statements are condensed and do not incorporate all the information required under U.S. GAAP to be included in a full set of financial statements. In these notes, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to AmerInst and its subsidiaries. These condensed statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto, included in AmerInst’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.
Going Concern
In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required under ASC 205-40, management’s evaluation should initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.
In performing this evaluation, we concluded that under the standards of ASC 205-40 the Company’s continued erosion of unrestricted cash resources to fund operating expenses raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Protexure and Protexure Risk Purchasing Group, Inc. (“PRPG”), an Illinois corporation wholly owned by AmerInst Mezco, Ltd. have reached an agreement with MAC 43, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (The “Purchaser”), for the sale of substantially all of the assets of Protexure and PRPG (other than cash and certain excluded assets) to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million payable in cash at the closing of the transaction (the “Asset Sale”). The closing of the Asset Sale is subject to, among other things, the approval of the shareholders of the Company. If the Asset Sale is consummated, we will have no significant assets other than cash, no sources of revenue and expect to cease operations. We will not engage in any business activities except for dealing with post-closing matters, and then subject to further shareholder approval, liquidating our remaining assets, paying any debts and obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders, and doing other acts required to voluntarily liquidate and wind up our business and affairs. The asset sale requires shareholder approval, therefore at this time managements plan is not deemed probable to mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

7. STOCK COMPENSATION
Phantom Shares:
Protexure has employment agreements with two key members of senior management, which grant them phantom shares of the Company. Under these agreements, these employees were initially granted an aggregate of 48,762 phantom shares of the Company on the date of their employment, subject to certain vesting requirements. The phantom shares are eligible for phantom dividends payable at the same rate as regular dividends on the Company’s common shares. The phantom dividends may be used only to purchase additional phantom shares with the purchase price of such phantom shares being the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares as of the end of the previous quarter. During the year, no phantom shares were granted.
For these two employees, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, vested on January 1, 2015. The liability payable to each of these employees under the phantom share agreements is equal to the value of the phantom shares based on the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares at the end of the previous quarter less the value of phantom shares initially granted and is payable in cash upon (i) the participant’s death, termination of employment due to disability, retirement at or after age 65 or resignation for good reason, (ii) termination of the participant by the Company without cause, (iii) termination by the participant without good reason or (iv) change in control of the Company.
The liability relating to these phantom shares is recalculated quarterly based on the net book value of our common shares at the end of each quarter. As a result of the overall decrease in the net book value of our common shares since the grant dates, we have not recorded any liability relating to these phantom shares at June 30, 2023.
Stock Option Plan:
The Company has a nonqualified stock option plan to advance the development, growth and financial condition of the Company. This plan provides incentives through participation in the appreciation of its common stock in order to secure, retain and motivate directors and employees and align such person’s interests with those of its shareholders. A total of 100,000 shares are authorized under the stock option plan.
A summary of the status of the stock option plan as of June 30, 2023 is as follows:

The Company accounts for these options in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires that the fair value of the equity awards be recognized as compensation expense over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award. The Company is amortizing compensation expense over the vesting period, or five years. The Company recognized $0 of compensation expense for stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
These carve-out financial statements include certain assets and liability of Protexure Insurance Agency, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation that is an insurance agency for the purposes of soliciting, underwriting, quoting, binding, issuing, cancelling, non-renewing and endorsing accountants’ professional liability and lawyers’ professional liability insurance coverage throughout the United States and the District of Columbia. The global, ultimate parent company is AmerInst Insurance Group Ltd. (the “Parent Company”).
Agency Agreements with C&F and ISMIE
On September 25, 2009, the Company, entered into an agency agreement (the “C&F Agency Agreement”) with The North River Insurance Company, United States Fire Insurance Company, Crum & Forster Indemnity Company, Crum and Forster Insurance Company, and Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company (collectively, “C&F”) pursuant to which C&F appointed Protexure as its exclusive agent for the purposes of soliciting, underwriting, quoting, binding, issuing, cancelling, non-renewing and endorsing accountants’ professional liability and lawyers’ professional liability insurance coverage in all 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia.
In 2021, C&F and the Company signed an addendum to the C&F Agency Agreement which terminated the C&F Agency Agreement effective March 31, 2022. Under the terms of the addendum, the Company was permitted to issue new and renewal professional liability policies on behalf of C&F with effective dates no later than March 31, 2022.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Managing General Agency Agreement (the “ISMIE Agency Agreement”) with Amwins Specialty Casualty Solutions, LLC for policies written by ISMIE Mutual Insurance Company (“ISMIE”). Protexure is transitioning the lawyers and accountants’ professional liability policies previously written with C&F to ISMIE. Certain policies are and will also be written by the Hanover Insurance Company. The C&F Agency Agreement and the ISMIE Agency Agreement are referred to herein as, collectively, the “Agency Agreements.”
Sale of Assets
On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Transaction”) with MAC 43, LLC, (a wholly owned subsidiary of McGowan Consolidated Insurance Holdings Group, Inc. (“Purchaser”) which provides for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million. The assets being sold comprise the Company’s property and equipment, a building right of use asset and a prepaid expense. The Company will retain its cash and cash equivalents and other assets specifically excluded from Transaction. The Purchaser will assume obligations and duties related to the assets it is purchasing and certain liabilities arising from the lease between Protexure and the lessor of the premises located at 4200 Commerce Court, Suite 102, Lisle, Illinois 60532. All other liabilities will remain obligations of Protexure.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying carve-out financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and only include the assets noted above and liability being sold pursuant to the Transaction. The carve-out financial statements reflect the assets, liability subject to the Transaction, revenues and expenses attributable to the assets and liability subject to the Transaction as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in net invested equity and cash flows of the assets and liability on a standalone basis. Management considers the allocations to be reasonable.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These carve-out financial statements may not be indicative of what the carve out assets and liability would have been if in a standalone entity.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 (unaudited)
(Expressed in United States Dollars)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Developmental costs for internal use software are capitalized in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”, generally, when the preliminary project stage is completed, management commits to funding and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Capitalized internal use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally for a period not to exceed 5 years.
Commission Income
Our primary source of revenue is derived from commissions earned on the placement of lawyers’ and accountants’ professional liability insurance under the ISMIE Agency Agreement. We recognize revenue for most of these arrangements as of a point in time at the later of the policy inception date or when the policy placement is complete because this is viewed as the date when control is transferred and all obligations are complete.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences and benefits attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company adjusts valuation allowances to measure deferred tax assets at the amounts considered realizable in future periods, which is assessed at each balance sheet date. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and recent financial operating results.

4. TAXATION
As Protexure is a Delaware corporation domiciled in the state of Illinois, its is subject to taxation in the United States.
Estimates of future taxable income, including income generated from prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require us to consider any potential impact to our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Such potential impact could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations for an individual reporting period.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Protexure leases office space in Lisle, Illinois under a non-cancellable operating lease agreement. The lease is renewable at the option of the lessee under certain conditions. In March 2023, Protexure executed a lease extension to July 31, 2024.
For operating leases that have a lease term of more than 12 months, the Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at the present value of the lease payments at the lease commencement date. At the commencement date, the Company determines lease terms by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are deemed to be reasonably certain. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the sole discretion of the Company. As the lease contracts generally do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company used 6%, its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The right of use asset and the lease liability are included on the Pro-forma Carve-Out Statement of Financial Position of Assets of Protexure Insurance Agency Inc. being sold as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Minimum lease payments, subsequent to December 31, 2022 are $101,578 in 2023 and $57,746 in 2024.

NOTES TO THE PRO-FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Transaction does not meet the criteria requiring discontinued operations presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) because it is still subject to shareholder approval. As a result, the Company prepared the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements included herein, which were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and are based on historical financial statements of the Company. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations.
Under the SEC rules applicable to the preparation of pro forma financial statements, the above pro forma financial information does not reflect any projected synergies from the Transaction.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial information has been prepared by the Company in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, with early application of SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. The pro forma consolidated condensed financial information reflects transaction related adjustments management believes are necessary to present fairly the Company’s pro forma consolidated condensed results of operations and financial position following the closing of the Transaction as of and for the periods indicated. The transaction related adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report the Company’s consolidated consdensed financial condition and results of operations as if the Transaction was completed.
The consolidated pro forma consolidated condensed financial information represents the Company's current best estimate reflecting the Transaction. The final accounting of the Transaction including the final values of the assets disposed, the loss on the transaction, is expected to be completed when the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and could differ materially from the preliminary allocations used in the pro forma adjustments.
