Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:
On August 9, 2023, the Reporting Person entered into a standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with the Issuer, providing, among other things, that the Reporting Person will not (subject to certain exceptions), alone or as part of a group, (i) publicly or privately make a proposal for (or in the case of any tender offer or exchange offer, commence) any tender offer, take-over bid, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, merger, exchange offer, consolidation, business combination, purchase transaction or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer or any of its material subsidiaries or any of their respective securities or material assets, (ii) acquire any additional Common Shares or other securities of the Issuer if such acquisition would require the Reporting Person to seek insurance regulatory approval or result in the Reporting Person and his controlled affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, (iii) knowingly take any action in support of or make any proposal with respect to controlling, changing or influencing the Issuer’s management, business, capitalization or corporate structure, or (iv) solicit or become a participant in any solicitation of proxies or written consents from shareholders of the Issuer. The restrictions applicable to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Standstill Agreement will expire on July 1, 2025, subject to earlier expiration in the event the Issuer determines not to include the Reporting Person on the Issuer’s slate of nominees for election to the board of directors of the Issuer at the Issuer’s 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders.
