Explanation of Responses:

1. Shares are held jointly with spouse.

2. A restricted stock award of 24,000 shares was granted May 16, 2013 with the provision that any unvested shares would be forfeited six years and one day after the grant date. The award was divided into four tranches of 6,000 shares each for which vesting was dependent upon the Issuer's common stock meeting certain price levels. Of the 24,000 shares, a 6,000 share tranche vested in 2013 and a 6,000 share tranche was cancelled pursuant to an agreement on February 23, 2016. The remaining 12,000 shares were forfeited on May 17, 2019. These shares had been granted pursuant to the Issuer's 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

3. The options were granted pursuant to the Homeowners Choice, Inc. 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.

4. Commencing on April 20, 2012 and continuing on the same day of each calendar year thereafter through and including April 20, 2014, the amount of 10,000 options became exercisable on each such annual vesting date.
