Hallmark Financial Services2 0 2 1 A n n u a l R e p o r t A Vision for Transformative Growth 2021 Annual Report A B O U T G B L I | G L O B A L I N D E M N I T Y With world headquarters located just outside Philadelphia, PA, GBLI | Global Indemnity is an AM Best “A” (Excellent) rated group of insurance companies primarily focused on specialty insurance for small to middle-market businesses. The six insurance entities (American Reliable Insurance Company®, Diamond State Insurance Company®, Penn-America Insurance Company®, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company®, Penn-Star Insurance Company®, and United National Insurance Company®) enable GBLI to write both admitted and non-admitted business in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Their varied line of targeted products is distributed through a wide agent network that assures GBLI and its partner agents both flexibility and opportunity. D E A R F E L L O W S H A R E H O L D E R S In sharp contrast to the trials of the previous year, we can look back on 2021 as a year of positive—if not transformative—change for the Company. Our financial results, I am pleased to say, showed a dramatic improvement. We reported $28.9 million in net income available to shareholders, representing a turnaround of $50.1 million from 2020. Gross written premiums from continuing lines, which exclude lines of business that are no longer being written or are in runoff, increased 22.3% in 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020. Consolidated gross written premiums increased 12.4% over the corresponding period in 2020. Investment income in 2021 was $37.0 million in 2021, up from $28.4 million in 2020. Realized gains were $15.9 million in 2021 compared to losses of $14.7 million in 2020. Even in the few cases where numbers were down, it was due to carefully considered strategic choices that we are confident will yield greater long-term benefits. Although the continuing lines combined ratio increased from 91.8% in 2020 to 98.9% in 2021 and the consolidated combined ratio increased from 97.2% in 2020 to 102.1% in 2021, we expect to see this trend reverse as we pursue our strategy of culling less-profitable and/or higher-risk business. More detailed results by segment include: Commercial Specialty: Gross written premiums and net written premiums increased 17.6% and 18.3%, respectively. This was primarily driven by organic growth in excess and surplus lines business from existing agents, increased pricing, and several new programs. Reinsurance Operations: Reflecting organic growth of an existing casualty treaty and the assumption of three smaller casualty treaties partially offset by the non-renewal of property catastrophe treaties, gross written premiums and net written premiums both increased 91.6%. Exited Lines: In 2021, we took dramatic action to reduce catastrophe-exposed business, reduce business not providing an adequate return on capital, and to not renew property catastrophe treaties. As we anticipated, gross written premiums and net written premiums in this segment decreased by 20.1% and 59.7%, respectively. It was a year of many milestones. We introduced fresh branding for the Company, deepened our leadership ranks, and boldly restructured our operations by consolidating a growing roster of products into four reportable segments: Commercial Specialty, Reinsurance Operations, Farm, Ranch, and Stable, and Exited Lines. Within these segments, we have further structured operations into eight defined business areas: Binding; Cannabis; Collectibles; Farm, Ranch, and Stable; Programs; Property; Reinsurance; and Vacants. To these, we added three new ones: Environmental, Excess Casualty, and Professional, which are already up and running and actively writing new business. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we closed on the sale of our manufactured and dwelling homes business lines and reclassified them as Exited Lines. This followed earlier moves to cease writing certain Property business within the Commercial Specialty segment and to exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. These lines of business are no longer being written or are in runoff and have also been reclassified as Exited Lines. More recently, we also joined the ranks of firms listed on the prestigious New York Stock Exchange, a move that will better align us with our peers, provide greater market visibility, and enable a broader shareholder reach. As we have for over 15 years, we are pleased to report that all our companies have been group rated as “A” (Excellent) by AM Best, the nation’s leading rating agency of insurance companies. Our pride in this designation is exceeded only by our gratitude for the continued support of our shareholders and the dedicated efforts of our almost 400 colleagues. We look forward to many more years of shared success with all of you. Farm, Ranch, and Stable: Our decision to improve profitability by reducing our exposure in catastrophe-prone areas led to a predictable decrease in gross written premiums and net written premiums by 4.6% and 5.0%, respectively. Very truly yours, Saul A. Fox, Chairman GBLI | Global Indemnity ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PG. 1 A N E W F A C E T O T H E F U T U R E As you can see on the cover of this 2021 Annual Report, we have introduced a new logo and brand identity. This new messaging both embodies GBLI’s record of success and stability and projects our confidence in even greater successes to come. But as much as we are proud to display this new look to all our stakeholders, its greater significance goes well beyond a simple change of name or design to the heart of the Company itself—it represents a strategic transformation. This dramatic rebranding of our identity is a powerful and confident expression of our core strengths and skills, and of the shared vision that will guide our course and assure our profitable growth in the years to come. Revenue: An Aggressive Focus on Profitability Although the insurance sector is often characterized by volatility, our historical focus on profitable growth as a guiding principle has enabled GBLI to generate a traditionally positive and predictable revenue stream. Since 2003, for example, we have returned nearly $550 million to shareholders; however, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels. We are in the process of deploying detailed plans to grow our most productive core businesses and create new opportunities in the small-to-medium specialty and niche markets we serve while, at the same time, decreasing or eliminating our exposure in businesses that have proven less profitable or present higher risk. A Vision. And a Path to Achieving It. Simply stated, the goal is to become a best-in-class specialty insurance organization focused on small to middle-market business —to set the standard in the industry for customer service, technological innovation, and sustained profitable growth. To reach this goal, we have created what we call a “Strategic Vision Roadmap” that points the way. It does so by focusing on and maximizing four key resources: People. Revenue. Operations. And Investments. People: A Great Team Gets Even Better If we were to name the one asset that most sets us apart, it is our people. GBLI has been fortunate to have been able to attract an exceptionally talented and driven team of professionals and exemplary leaders to inspire them. Together, they provide outstanding customer service, technical competence, accessibility, and accountability. The team at GBLI has helped the Company not simply weather the many challenges—both natural and man-made—of the past two decades, but emerge from them even stronger than before. GBLI is committed to investing in the support, opportunities, and resources they need to thrive and advance. Fundamental to success is the GBLI customer-centric mentality emphasizing collaboration, responsiveness, and partnership. This commitment extends to the highest level. In 2021, we further deepened our leadership team by welcoming eight new senior executives to our ranks, including a new CEO and COO, and new business leaders—all of whom bring a wide range of talents, experience, and track records proven at some of the most respected companies in the insurance industry today. PG. 2 | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Operations: New Technologies, New Solutions From the beginning, highly disciplined underwriting practices and a customer-centric mindset have been the foundation of GBLI. As technology continues to revolutionize these assets, we have steadily embraced it—adopting innovative solutions that enhance our customer experience and sharpen our decision-making. These include a “One Policy” online portal for underwriting; a shared single system for common IT requests; migration to a cloud-based business platform; and an enterprise data strategy that standardizes reporting and supports options for self-service business intelligence. Going forward, analytics will play an increased role in guiding our growth, buttressed by an ongoing emphasis on scalable architecture and data processing efficiencies. Investments: A Steady Hand in Unsettled Times Traditionally, GBLI has preferred a more conservative approach than comparable companies in managing assets and liabilities, employing less leverage, fewer stocks and alternatives, and debt that is both higher grade and shorter duration. Our investment performance history and current outlook confirms the wisdom of this approach. It was further confirmed by AM Best, the leading insurance industry rating agency, in a 2021 statement that affirmed its “A” (Excellent) rating by explaining that the rating reflects GBLI’s “balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile, and appropriate enterprise risk management.” 2 0 2 1 F I N A N C I A L H I G H L I G H T S (Dollars in thousands, except per share and ratio data) Stock Price as of December 31, 2021 Exchange/Symbol: GBLI Closing Price: $25.10 52-Week Range: $23.97 - $31.98 Market Capitalization: $364.1M Price/Book Ratio: 0.52 GROSS WRITTEN PREMIUM $547,897 $636,861 $606,603 $682,122 2018 2019 2020 2021 INCOME STATEMENT Net Earned Premiums Net Investment Income Net Realized Gains/(Losses) Other Income Total Revenues Total Expenses Net Income/(Loss) Preferred Stock Distributions Net Income/(Loss) Available to Common Shareholders Earnings/(Loss) Per Share (Diluted) Net Operating Income/(Loss) Operating Income/(Loss) Per Share (Diluted) BALANCE SHEET Total Assets Shareholders’ Equity Book Value Per Share GAAP RATIOS Combined Ratio 467,775 46,342 (16,907) 1,728 498,938 555,634 (56,696) — 525,262 567,699 595,610 42,052 35,342 1,816 28,392 (14,662) 2,118 37,020 15,887 29,751 604,472 583,547 678,268 534,457 70,015 — 604,553 648,914 (21,006) 152 29,354 440 (56,696) 70,015 (21,158) 28,914 ($4.02) (31,316) ($2.22) $4.88 41,439 $2.89 ($1.48) 26,055 (3) $1.79 (3) $1.97 10,925 $0.71 1,960,266 2,075,885 1,904,908 2,012,809 629,059 726,809 718,324 706,621 $44.21 $50.82 $49.62 $48.44 112.3 (2) 92.2 97.2 102.1 Market Capitalization (As of year-end) 515,505 423,722 411,613 364,058 (1) Excluding losses related to hurricane Michael and the California wildfires, net loss would have been ($3.7) million.

The Company will concentrate on industry segments that align with its size and market position; have profitable track records; are consistent with the focus on specialty and niche markets; and are supported by industry-leading technology, analytics, and third-party data. The implementation of this strategy has resulted in the restructuring of individual product lines into broader business areas and the addition of three new businesses: Environmental, Excess Casualty, and Professional.

BUSINESS PART I Some of the information contained in this Item 1 or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its subsidiaries’ plans and strategy, constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of Item 7 of Part II and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company”, “Global Indemnity”, or “GBLI” refer to Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its subsidiaries or, if prior to August 28, 2020, to Global Indemnity Limited and its subsidiaries. References to class A common shares and/or class B common shares refer to, at and after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 28, 2020 (the “Effective Time”), Global Indemnity Group, LLC class A common shares and/or Global Indemnity Group, LLC class B common shares or, prior to the Effective Time, Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary shares and/or Global Indemnity Limited B ordinary shares. History Global Indemnity Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 23, 2020, replaced Global Indemnity Limited, incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, as the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies as a result of a redomestication transaction completed on August 28, 2020. This transaction resulted in the redomestication of the Company and its Bermuda subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company, Ltd. (“Global Indemnity Reinsurance”), to the United States. See Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information regarding the redomestication. Effective January 3, 2022, Global Indemnity Group, LLC voluntarily transferred the listing of its class A common shares and its 7.875% subordinated notes due 2047 from the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and is trading under the ticker symbol GBLI and GBLL, respectively. Prior to January 3, 2022, the Company’s class A common shares and 7.875% subordinated notes due 2047 continued to trade on the NASDAQ. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s predecessors have been publicly traded since 2003. Effective August 28, 2020, Global Indemnity Group, LLC became a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Global Indemnity Group, LLC meets the qualifying income exception to maintain partnership status. As a publicly traded partnership, Global Indemnity Group, LLC is generally not subject to federal income tax and most state income taxes. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a holder of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares is treated as a partner in a publicly traded partnership. Shareholders are required to take into account their allocable share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and other items of the partnership for Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s taxable year ending within or with the shareholders’ taxable year, regardless of whether any cash or other distributions are made to shareholders. Global Indemnity Group, LLC will furnish to each shareholder, as soon as reasonably practical after the close of each calendar year, specific tax information, including a Schedule K-1, which describes the shareholders’ share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s income, gain, loss and deduction for Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s preceding taxable year. Income earned by the subsidiaries of Global Indemnity Group, LLC is subject to corporate tax in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and, therefore, is not taxable to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s shareholders until the income is distributed by the subsidiaries to Global Indemnity Group, LLC. On October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products which was part of the Specialty Property segment. The Company previously decided to cease writing certain Property Brokerage business which was part of the Commercial Specialty segment, as well as exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. Based on the decisions to exit these lines of business, the Company changed the way it manages and analyzes its operating results. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive as well as the Chief Operating Officer, decided they will be reviewing the specific results of the Exited Lines separately. The chief operating decision makers also determined that the small amount of specialty property business that remained from the Specialty Property segment would be included as programs in the Commercial Specialty segment for purpose of reviewing results and allocating resources. The Reinsurance Operations segment will continue to write casualty and professional treaties as well as individual excess policies. The Farm, Ranch & Stable segment was not impacted by these decisions and will continue to be reported as a segment. Accordingly, the Company will have four reportable segments: Commercial Specialty, Reinsurance Operations, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Exited Lines. Management believes these segments will allow users of the 3 Company’s financial statements to better understand the Company's performance, better assess prospects for future net cash flows and to make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. The segment results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been revised to reflect these changes. General GBLI provides its insurance products across a distribution network that includes binding authority, program, brokerage, and reinsurance. The Company manages the distribution of these products through four business segments. Commercial Specialty offers specialty property and casualty products designed for product lines such as Small Business Binding Authority, Professional Lines, Excess Casualty, Environmental, Property Brokerage, Vacant Express, and Programs. Farm, Ranch & Stable offers specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry. Reinsurance Operations provides reinsurance and insurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies. Exited Lines represents lines of business that are no longer being written or are in runoff. Exited Lines includes specialty personal lines property and casualty products such as manufactured home, dwelling, motorcycle, watercraft and certain homeowners business, certain business within Property Brokerage, and property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties. The Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable segments comprise the Company’s Insurance Operations (“Insurance Operations”). Business Segments See Note 22 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for gross and net written premiums, income and total assets of each operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. For a discussion of the variances between years, see “Results of Operations” in Item 7 of Part II of this report. Commercial Specialty The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment distributes specialty property and casualty insurance products and operates predominantly in the excess and surplus lines, or non-admitted, marketplace. The excess and surplus lines market differs significantly from the standard property and casualty insurance market. For additional information on the standard property and casualty insurance market, see “Farm, Ranch & Stable” below. The excess and surplus lines market provides coverage for businesses that often do not fit the underwriting criteria of an insurance company operating in the standard markets due to their relatively greater unpredictable loss patterns and unique niches of exposure requiring rate and policy form flexibility. Without the excess and surplus lines market, certain businesses would have to self-insure their exposures, or seek coverage outside the U.S. market. Competition in the excess and surplus lines market tends to focus less on price and more on availability, service, and other considerations. While excess and surplus lines market exposures may have higher perceived insurance risk than their standard market counterparts, excess and surplus lines market underwriters historically have been able to generate underwriting profitability superior to standard market underwriters. A portion of the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment is written on a specialty admitted basis. When writing on a specialty admitted basis, the Company’s focus for this portion of the business is on writing insurance for insureds that engage in similar but often highly specialized types of activities. The specialty admitted market is subject to greater state regulation than the surplus lines market, particularly with regards to rate and form filing requirements and the ability to enter and exit lines of business. Insureds purchasing coverage from specialty admitted insurance companies do so because the insurance product is not otherwise available from standard market insurers. Yet, for regulatory or marketing reasons, these insureds require products that are written by an admitted insurance company. 4 Commercial Specialty’s insurance products target specific, defined groups of insureds with customized coverage to meet their needs. To manage operations, the Commercial Specialty segment differentiates its products by product classification. These product classifications are as follows: • Penn-America Group distributes property and general liability products for small commercial businesses through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; • United National Group distributes property, general liability, and professional lines products through program administrators with specific binding authority; and • Diamond State Group distributes property, casualty, and professional lines products through wholesale brokers that are underwritten by the Company’s personnel and selected brokers with specific binding authority. • Vacant Express primarily distributes products for dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovations, or are under construction through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents. • New Products – Global Indemnity is developing three new core professional, environmental, and excess casualty lines products that will be distributed primarily through wholesale brokers. The Company has also created several start-up business lines which will distributes professional, environmental, and excess casualty insurance products. These product classifications as well as the start-up business lines comprise the Commercial Specialty business segment and are not considered individual business segments because each product has similar economic characteristics, distribution, and coverage. The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment provides property, casualty, and professional liability products utilizing customized guidelines, rates, and forms tailored to the Company’s risk and underwriting philosophy. See “Underwriting” below for a discussion on how the Company’s insurance products are underwritten. In 2021, gross written premiums for the Commercial Specialty segment were $380.9 million compared to $324.0 million for 2020. For 2021, surplus lines business accounts for approximately 98.0% of the business written while specialty admitted business accounts for the remaining 2.0%. Farm, Ranch & Stable The Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment provides specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry primarily in the standard, or admitted markets. In this standard property and casualty insurance market, insurance rates and forms are highly regulated; products and coverage are largely uniform and have relatively predictable exposures. In the standard market, policies must be written by insurance companies that are admitted to transact business in the state in which the policy is issued. As a result, in the standard property and casualty insurance market, insurance companies tend to compete for customers primarily on the basis of price, coverage, value-added service, and financial strength. These insurance products are sold through wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority. See “Underwriting” below for additional discussion on how the Company’s insurance products are underwritten. In 2021, gross written premiums for the Farm, Ranch & Stable segment were $81.7 million compared to $85.6 million for 2020. Reinsurance Operations The Company’s Reinsurance Operations segment provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies. Prior to the redomestication transaction, the Company’s Reinsurance Operations consisted solely of the operations of its Bermuda-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance. As part of the redomestication transactions, Global Indemnity Reinsurance was merged with and into Penn-Patriot Insurance 5 Company ("Penn-Patriot"), with Penn-Patriot surviving, resulting in the assumption of Global Indemnity Reinsurance's business by the Global Indemnity group of companies’ existing U.S. insurance company subsidiaries. The Company is focused on using its capital capacity to write casualty and specialty-focused contracts meeting the Company’s risk tolerance and return thresholds. In 2021, gross written premiums from third parties were $106.5 million compared to $55.6 million for 2020. Exited Lines The Company’s Exited Lines segment represents lines of business that are no longer being written or are in runoff. Exited Lines includes specialty personal lines property and casualty products such as manufactured home, dwelling, motorcycle, watercraft and certain homeowners business, certain business within Property Brokerage, and property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties. The renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products, which are included in Exited Lines, were sold during the fourth quarter of 2021. See Note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the sale. The manufactured home, dwelling, motorcycle, watercraft and certain homeowners products within Exited Lines operated primarily in the standard or admitted markets and were distributed through retail agents, wholesale general agents, and brokers. These insurance products were either underwritten via limited binding authority or by internal personnel. The Property Brokerage product within Exited Lines operated predominantly in the excess and surplus lines or non-admitted markets and were distributed through wholesale brokers and underwritten by the Company’s personnel and selected brokers with limited binding authority. The property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties within Exited Lines were distributed through brokers and on a direct basis. See “Underwriting” below for additional discussion on how the Company’s insurance products are underwritten. In 2021, gross written premiums for the Exited Lines segment were $113.0 million compared to $141.4 million for 2020. Products and Product Development The Company currently markets its property and casualty insurance products through the Commercial Specialty, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Reinsurance Operations segments. The Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment operate primarily in the admitted marketplace; whereas, its Commercial Specialty segment operates predominantly in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. To manage its operations, the Company seeks to differentiate its products by product classification. See “Commercial Specialty” and “Farm, Ranch & Stable” above for a description of these product classifications. The Company’s Insurance Operations are licensed to write on a surplus lines (non-admitted) basis and/or an admitted basis in all 50 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which provides the Company with flexibility in designing products and programs, and in determining rates to meet emerging risks and discontinuities in the marketplace. The Company’s Reinsurance Operations offers third-party treaty reinsurance for casualty insurance and reinsurance companies as well as professional liability products to companies. 6 Geographic Concentration The following table sets forth the geographic distribution of gross written premiums for the periods indicated: 2021 2020 2019 Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent For the Years Ended December 31, 65,357 52,245 53,633 50,780 25,664 23,241 19,700 18,339 17,659 16,697 343,315 232,267 106,540 682,122 9.6% $ 7.7 7.9 7.4 3.8 3.4 2.9 2.7 2.6 2.4 50.3 34.1 15.6 100.0% $ 57,542 55,045 49,122 42,183 22,590 22,045 19,349 19,221 15,971 14,840 317,908 228,018 60,677 606,603 9.5% $ 9.1 8.1 7.0 3.7 3.6 3.2 3.2 2.6 2.4 52.4 37.6 10.0 100.0% $ 54,850 54,381 48,093 37,288 21,710 21,975 18,510 19,989 19,427 15,318 311,541 237,039 88,281 636,861 8.5% 8.5 7.6 5.9 3.4 3.5 2.9 3.1 3.1 2.4 48.9 37.2 13.9 100.0% (Dollars in thousands) California................................. $ Texas........................................

Subtotal .............................. All other states......................... Reinsurance Operations........... Total ................................... $ Marketing and Distribution The Company provides its insurance products across a full distribution network – binding authority, program, brokerage, direct, and reinsurance. For its binding authority and program product classifications, the Company distributes its insurance products primarily through a group of wholesale general agents and program administrators that have specific quoting and binding authority. For its brokerage business, the Company distributes its insurance products through wholesale insurance brokers who in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. For its reinsurance business, the Company distributes its products predominantly through brokers. The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment distributes its insurance products primarily through a group of approximately 200 wholesale general agents, wholesale insurance brokers, and program administrators. Of Commercial Specialty’s non- affiliated professional wholesale general agents, wholesale insurance brokers, and program administrators, the top five accounted for 47.7% of Commercial Specialty’s gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2021. Three agencies individually represented more than 10.0% of Commercial Specialty’s gross written premiums. The Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment distributes their insurance products through a group of approximately 225 wholesale general agents and retail agents. Farm, Ranch & Stable’s top five agents accounted for 20.2% of its gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2021. No one agency represented more than 10% of Farm, Ranch & Stable’s gross written premiums. The Company assumed premiums on one treaty which accounted for 86.7% of the Reinsurance Operations’ 2021 gross written premiums. This same treaty accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s Exited Lines segment distributed its insurance products primarily through a group of approximately 225 wholesale general agents, wholesale insurance brokers, program administrators, and retail agents. Its retail distribution was limited to products written primarily in New Mexico and Arizona. Of the Exited Lines’ non-affiliated professional wholesale general agents, wholesale insurance brokers, program administrators, and retail agents, the top five accounted for 50.0% of Exited Lines’ gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2021. One agency individually represented more than 10.0% of Exited Lines’ gross written premiums. There is no agency that accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021. 7 The Company’s primary distribution strategy is to maintain strong relationships with a limited number of high-quality wholesale professional general agents and wholesale insurance brokers. The Company carefully selects distribution sources based on their expertise, experience and reputation. The Company believes that its distribution strategy enables it to effectively access numerous markets through the marketing, underwriting, and administrative support of the Company’s general agencies and wholesale insurance brokers. The Company believes these wholesale general agents and wholesale insurance brokers have local market knowledge and expertise that enables them to access business in these markets more effectively. Underwriting For Commercial Specialty, the Company’s insurance products are primarily underwritten via specific binding authority in which the Company grants underwriting authority to its wholesale general agents and program administrators and via brokerage in which the Company’s internal personnel underwrites business submitted by wholesale insurance brokers. For Farm, Ranch & Stable, the Company’s insurance products are distributed through retail agents, wholesale general agents, and brokers. The insurance products for this segment are either underwritten via specific binding authority or by internal personnel. Specific Binding Authority – The Company’s wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators for the Company’s Insurance Operations have specific quoting and binding authority with respect to the lines they write and some have quoting and binding authority with respect to multiple products. The Company’s wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators will either utilize company administered policy systems with the Company’s underwriting guidelines embedded within the system or the agents will use their own proprietary systems subject to the Company’s underwriting guidelines. When the agents use their own proprietary systems, the Company provides its wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators with a comprehensive, regularly updated underwriting manual that specifically outlines risk eligibility which is developed based on the type of insured, nature of exposure and overall expected profitability. This manual also outlines (a) premium pricing, (b) underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to policy forms, terms and conditions, and (c) policy issuance instructions. The Company’s wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators contract to underwrite submissions received in accordance with the Company’s underwriting manual. Risks that are not within the specific binding authority must be submitted to the Company’s underwriting personnel directly for underwriting review and approval or denial of the application of the insured. The Company’s wholesale general agents provide all policy issuance services in accordance with the Company’s underwriting manuals. Farm, Ranch & Stable partners are not provided with underwriting manuals. Rather, they are provided with letters of authority which extend policy and endorsement issuance rights. Agents who write Farm, Ranch & Stable utilize a Company administered system that contains an abbreviated version of the Company’s underwriting guidelines on various exposures including appetite on types of risks to insure. The Company regularly monitors the underwriting quality of its wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators through a disciplined system of controls, which includes one or more of the following: • • • • • automated system criteria edits and exception reports; individual policy reviews to measure adherence to the Company’s underwriting manual or letter of authority including: risk selection, underwriting compliance, policy issuance and pricing; periodic on-site and virtual comprehensive audits to evaluate processes, controls, profitability and adherence to all aspects of the Company’s underwriting manual or letter of authority including: risk selection, underwriting compliance, policy issuance and pricing; internal quarterly actuarial analysis of loss ratios produced by business underwritten by the Company’s wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators; and internal quarterly analysis of financial results, including premium growth and overall profitability of business produced by the Company’s wholesale general agents, retail agents, and program administrators. 8 The Company provides incentives to certain of its wholesale general agents and program administrators to produce profitable business through contingent profit commission structures that are tied directly to the achievement of profitability targets. Brokerage –The wholesale insurance brokers are within the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment. The Company’s wholesale insurance brokers do not have specific binding authority; therefore, these risks are submitted to the Company’s underwriting personnel for review and processing. The Company provides its internal underwriting personnel with a comprehensive, regularly updated underwriting manual that outlines risk eligibility, which is developed based on the type of insured, nature of exposure and overall expected profitability. This manual also outlines (a) premium pricing, (b) underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to policy forms, terms, and conditions. The Company’s underwriting personnel review submissions, issue all quotes and perform all policy issuance functions. The Company regularly monitors the underwriting quality of its underwriters through a disciplined system of controls, which includes the following: • • • • individual policy reviews to measure the Company’s underwriters’ adherence to the underwriting manual including: risk selection, underwriting compliance, policy issuance and pricing; periodic underwriting review to evaluate adherence to all aspects of the Company’s underwriting manual including: risk selection, underwriting compliance, policy issuance and pricing; internal quarterly actuarial analysis of loss ratios produced by business underwritten by the Company’s underwriters; and internal quarterly analysis of financial results, including premium growth and overall profitability of business produced by the Company’s underwriters. Reinsurance – The Company’s Reinsurance Operations primarily writes casualty focused reinsurance contracts and professional lines excess liability business. Prior to entering into any agreement, the Company evaluates a number of factors for each cedant including, but not limited to, reputation and financial condition, underwriting and claims practices and historical claims experience. Exited Lines – The Company’s Exited Lines had the same controls in place as described in the Specific Binding Authority and Brokerage sections above. Contingent Commissions Certain professional general agencies of the Company are paid special incentives, referred to as contingent commissions, when results of business produced by these agencies are more favorable than predetermined thresholds. Similarly, in some circumstances, companies that cede business to the Reinsurance Operations are paid a profit commission based on the profitability of the ceded portfolio. These commissions are charged to other underwriting expenses when incurred. Pricing Actuaries establish pricing tailored to each specific product the Company underwrites, taking into account historical loss experience, historical rate level changes, property catastrophe modeling output, and individual risk and coverage characteristics. The Company generally uses the actuarial loss costs promulgated by the Insurance Services Office as a benchmark in the development of pricing for most products. Specific products will utilize proprietary rating when deemed appropriate including utilizing machine learning and other analytical methods to assist with risk segmentation and pricing. The Company will seek to only write business if it believes it can achieve an adequate risk adjusted rate of return. 9 Reinsurance of Underwriting Risk The Company’s philosophy is to purchase reinsurance from third parties to limit its liability on individual risks, to protect against property catastrophe, and casualty clash losses. Reinsurance assists the Company in controlling exposure to severe losses and protecting capital resources. The type, cost and limits of reinsurance it purchases can vary from year to year based upon the Company’s desired retention levels and the availability of quality reinsurance at an acceptable price. Although reinsurance does not legally discharge an insurer from its primary liability for the full amount of limits on the policies it has written, it does make the assuming reinsurer liable to the insurer to the extent of the insurance ceded. Some of the Company’s reinsurance contracts renew on an annual basis and all of its reinsurance is purchased following guidelines established by management. The Company primarily utilizes treaty reinsurance products made up of proportional and excess of loss reinsurance. Additionally, the Company may purchase facultative reinsurance protection on single risks when deemed necessary. The Company purchases specific types and structures of reinsurance depending upon the characteristics of the lines of business and specialty products underwritten. The Company will typically seek to place proportional reinsurance for umbrella and excess products, certain specialty products, or new products in the development stage. The Company believes that this approach allows it to control net exposure in these product areas most cost effectively. The Company purchases reinsurance on an excess of loss basis to cover individual risk severity. These structures are utilized to protect the Company’s primary positions on property and casualty products. The excess of loss structures allow the Company to maximize underwriting profits over time by retaining a greater portion of the risk in these products, while helping to protect against the possibility of unforeseen volatility. The Company analyzes its reinsurance contracts to ensure that they meet the risk transfer requirements of applicable accounting guidance, which requires that the reinsurer must assume significant insurance risk under the reinsured portions of the underlying insurance contracts and that there must be a reasonably possible chance that the reinsurer may realize a significant loss from the transaction. The Company continually evaluates its retention levels across its entire line of business and specialty product portfolio seeking to ensure that the ultimate reinsurance structures are aligned with the Company’s corporate risk tolerance levels associated with such products. Any decision to decrease the Company’s reliance upon proportional reinsurance or to increase the Company’s excess of loss retentions could increase the Company’s earnings volatility. In cases where the Company decides to increase its excess of loss retentions, such decisions will be a result of a change or progression in the Company’s risk tolerance level. The Company endeavors to purchase reinsurance from financially strong reinsurers with which it has long-standing relationships. In addition, in certain circumstances, the Company holds collateral, including letters of credit, under reinsurance agreements. The Company’s material reinsurance treaties are as follows: Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss – The Company’s current property writings create exposure to catastrophic events. To protect against these exposures, the Company purchases a property catastrophe treaty. Effective June 1, 2021, the Company purchased three layers of occurrence coverage for losses of $185 million in excess of $15 million. The first layer provides coverage of 100% of $10 million in excess of $15 million and can be reinstated twice at no additional charge. The second layer provides coverage of $25 million in excess of $25 million and can be reinstated once at no additional charge. The third layer provides coverage of $150 million in excess of $50 million and can be reinstated once at no additional charge. This replaced the treaty which expired on May 31, 2021 and provided three layers of occurrence coverage for losses of $235 million in excess of $15 million. The first layer provided coverage of 100% of $35 million in excess of $15 million and could be reinstated twice at no additional charge. The second layer provided coverage of $50 million in excess of $50 million and could be reinstated once at no additional charge. The third layer provided coverage of $150 million in excess of $100 million and could be reinstated once at no additional charge. Property Per Risk Excess of Loss – Effective January 1, 2022, the Company renewed its property per risk excess of loss treaty. This treaty provides coverage of $8 million per risk in excess of $2 million per risk for the entire Company. This replaced the treaty which expired December 31, 2021 and provided coverage of $1 million per risk excess of $1million per risk for the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment and business included in the Specialty Property segment prior to the resegmentation. It also provided coverage of $13 million per risk in excess of $2 million per risk. This treaty also provided coverage of $35 million per risk in excess of $15 million per risk for Property Brokerage business only. 10 Casualty Excess of Loss – Effective January 1, 2022, the Company amended the casualty excess of loss treaty, that was in effect, to provide coverage of $10 million per occurrence in excess of $2.5 million per occurrence for all casualty lines of business. The treaty is subject to an aggregate limit of $20 million. The original treaty provided coverage of $10 million per occurrence in excess of $2 million per occurrence for all casualty lines of business. The treaty was subject to an aggregate limit of $20 million. Amended & Restated Reinsurance Agreement – Effective October 26, 2021, the company entered into an agreement to cede 100% of its underwriting results related to certain specialty property business. To the extent that there may be an increase or decrease in catastrophe or casualty clash exposure in the future, the Company may increase or decrease its reinsurance protection for these exposures commensurately. There were no other significant changes to any of the Company’s reinsurance treaties during 2021. The following table sets forth the ten reinsurers for which the Company has the largest reinsurance receivables as of December 31, 2021. Also shown are the amounts of premiums ceded by the Company to these reinsurers during the year ended December 31, 2021.

This amount is net of an allowance for expected credit losses of $9.0 million at December 31, 2021. Historically, there have been insolvencies following a period of competitive pricing in the industry. While the Company has recorded allowances for expected credit losses for reinsurance receivables based on relevant information about past events including historical experience, currently available information as well as supportable forecasts that affect the collectability, conditions may change or additional information might be obtained that may require the Company to record additional allowances. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its financial exposure to the reinsurance market and assesses the adequacy of its collateral and allowance for expected credit losses. The Company continues to take actions to mitigate its exposure to possible loss. 11 Claims Management and Administration The Company’s approach to claims management is designed to investigate reported incidents at the earliest juncture, to select, manage, and supervise all legal and adjustment aspects of claims, including settlement, for the mutual benefit of the Company, its professional general agents, wholesale brokers, reinsurers and insureds. The Company’s professional general agents and wholesale brokers have no authority to settle claims or otherwise exercise control over the claims process. The claims management staff supervises or processes all claims. The Company has a formal claims review process, and all claims greater than $250,000 are reviewed by senior claims management and certain senior executives. Large loss trends and analysis are reviewed by a Large Loss committee. To handle claims, the Company utilizes its own in-house claims department as well as third-party assuming reinsurers, to whom it delegates limited claims handling authority. The experienced in-house staff of claims management professionals are assigned to one of five dedicated claim units: casualty and automobile claims, latent exposure claims, property claims, and a wholly-owned subsidiary that administers construction defect claims. The dedicated claims units meet regularly to communicate current developments within their assigned areas of specialty. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $313.2 million and $78.9 million of gross incurred case losses and loss adjustment expenses at its Insurance Operations and Exited Lines, respectively. Claims relating to approximately 90% of those incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses are handled by in-house claims management professionals. Approximately 10% of its incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses are handled by the Company’s assuming reinsurers. The Company reviews and supervises the claims handled by its reinsurers seeking to protect its reputation and minimize exposure. Reserves for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Applicable insurance laws require the Company to maintain reserves to cover its estimated ultimate losses under insurance policies and reinsurance treaties that it writes and for loss adjustment expenses relating to the investigation and settlement of claims. The Company establishes losses and loss adjustment expense reserves for individual claims by evaluating reported claims on the basis of: • • • • • • • knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the claim; the severity of injury or damage; jurisdiction of the occurrence; the potential for ultimate exposure; litigation related developments; the type of loss; and the Company’s experience with the insured and the line of business and policy provisions relating to the particular type of claim. The Company generally estimates such losses and claims costs through an evaluation of individual reported claims. The Company also establishes reserves for incurred but not reported losses (“IBNR”). IBNR reserves are based in part on statistical information and in part on industry experience with respect to the expected number and nature of claims arising from occurrences that have not been reported. The Company also establishes its reserves based on estimates of future trends in claims severity and other subjective factors. Insurance companies are not permitted to reserve for a catastrophe until it has occurred. Reserves are recorded on an undiscounted basis other than fair value adjustments recorded under purchase accounting. The Company’s reserves are reviewed quarterly by the in-house actuarial staff; however management is responsible for the final determination of loss reserve selections. Reviews for Insurance Operations are generally performed both gross and net of reinsurance and ceded reviews are also completed for most reserve categories. 12 In addition to the Company’s internal reserve analysis, independent external actuaries perform a full, detailed review of the reserves annually. The Company does not rely upon the review by the independent actuaries to develop its reserves; however, the data is used to corroborate the analysis performed by the in-house actuarial staff. The results of the detailed reserve reviews by internal and external actuaries are summarized and discussed with the Company’s senior management to determine the best estimate of reserves. With respect to some classes of risks, the period of time between the occurrence of an insured event and the final resolution of a claim may be many years, and during this period it often becomes necessary to adjust the claim estimates either upward or downward. Certain classes of umbrella and excess liability that the Company underwrites have historically had longer intervals between the occurrence of an insured event, reporting of the claim and final resolution. In such cases, the Company must estimate reserves over long periods of time with the possibility of several adjustments to reserves. Other classes of insurance that the Company underwrites, such as most property insurance, historically have shorter intervals between the occurrence of an insured event, reporting of the claim and final resolution. Reserves with respect to these classes are therefore inherently less likely to be adjusted. The losses and loss adjustment expense reserving process is intended to reflect the impact of inflation and other factors affecting loss payments by taking into account changes in historical payment patterns and perceived trends. However, there is no precise method for the subsequent evaluation of the adequacy of the consideration given to inflation, or to any other specific factor, or to the way one factor may affect another. The same reserving process detailed above is used for Exited Lines. See the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for a reconciliation of the Company’s liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance ceded, as well as further discussion surrounding changes to reserves for prior accident years. Asbestos and Environmental (“A&E”) Exposure The Company’s environmental exposure arises from the sale of general liability and commercial multi-peril insurance. Currently, the Company’s policies continue to exclude classic environmental contamination claims. However, in some states, the Company is required, depending on the circumstances, to provide coverage for certain bodily injury claims, such as an individual's exposure to a release of chemicals. The Company has also issued policies that were intended to provide limited pollution and environmental coverage. These policies were specific to certain types of products underwritten by the Company. The Company has also received a number of asbestos-related claims, the majority of which are declined based on well-established exclusions. In establishing the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to A&E exposures, management considers facts currently known and the current state of the law and coverage litigations. Estimates of these liabilities are reviewed and updated continually. Uncertainty remains as to the Company’s ultimate liability for asbestos-related claims due to such factors as the long latency period between asbestos exposure and disease manifestation and the resulting potential for involvement of multiple policy periods for individual claims, the increase in the volume of claims made by plaintiffs who claim exposure but who have no symptoms of asbestos-related disease, and an increase in claims subject to coverage under general liability policies that do not contain aggregate limits of liability. The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, inclusive of A&E reserves, reflects the Company’s best estimates for future amounts needed to pay losses and related loss adjustment expenses as of each of the balance sheet dates reflected in the financial statements herein in accordance with GAAP. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $10.8 million of net loss reserves for asbestos-related claims and $11.2 million for environmental claims. The Company attempts to estimate the full impact of the A&E exposures by establishing specific case reserves on all known losses. See Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for tables showing the Company’s gross and net reserves for A&E losses. In addition to the factors referenced above, establishing reserves for A&E and other mass tort claims involves considerably more judgment than other types of claims due to, among other things, inconsistent court decisions, an increase in bankruptcy filings as a result of asbestos related liabilities, and judicial interpretations that often expand theories of recovery and broaden the scope of coverage. See Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for the survival ratios on a gross and net basis for the Company’s A&E claims. 13 Investments The Company’s investment policy is determined by the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company engages third-party investment advisors to oversee and manage its investments and to make recommendations to the Investment Committee. The Company projects its cash flows from investments and operations to assure it has adequate liquidity to run its business. The Company’s investment policy allows it to invest in taxable and tax-exempt fixed income investments including corporate bonds as well as publicly traded equities and private equity and private debt investments. The insurance group holds $1,186.9 million of investments, of which, are comprised of 94.3% of fixed income, 3.9% of private debt investments, and 1.8% of preferred stock. To provide diversification, the Company limits exposure to individual issuers. With respect to fixed income investments, the maximum exposure per issuer varies as a function of the credit quality of the security. The allocation between taxable and tax-exempt bonds is determined based on market conditions and tax considerations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $1,532.8 million of investments and cash and cash equivalent assets, including $100.0 million of equity securities and $152.7 million of limited liability companies and limited partnership investments. Insurance company investments must comply with applicable statutory regulations that prescribe the type, quality and concentration of investments. These regulations permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state, and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, and preferred and common equity securities. The following table summarizes by type the estimated fair value of Global Indemnity’s investments and cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Estimated Fair Value 78,278 150,118 5,630 (Dollars in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents ..................... $ U.S. treasuries........................................

(1) (2) Does not include net receivable (payable) for securities sold (purchased) of ($794), ($4,667), and ($850) for 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company does not acquire fixed maturities with the intention to sell these securities in a short period of time. The Company can hold fixed maturities to recovery and/or maturity; however, the Company regularly re-evaluates its positions and will sell a security if warranted by market conditions. The overall weighted average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 3.2 years as of December 31, 2021 compared to 4.2 years at December 31, 2020. Duration was lowered in response to rising interest rates. The Company’s fixed maturities, excluding the asset-backed, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations, had a weighted average maturity of 5.5 years and a weighted average duration, including cash and short-term investments, of 3.5 years as of December 31, 2021. The weighted average duration of the Company’s asset-backed, mortgage-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities is 2.4 years. The Company’s financial statements reflect a net unrealized gain on fixed maturities available for sale as of December 31, 2021 of $8.1 million on a pre-tax basis. 14 The following table shows the average amount of fixed maturities, income earned on fixed maturities, and the book yield thereon, as well as unrealized gains for the periods indicated: (Dollars in thousands) Average fixed maturities at book value .......... $ Gross income on fixed maturities (1) ............... $ Book yield .......................................................

The Company has sought to structure its portfolio to reduce the risk of default on collateralized commercial real estate obligations and asset-backed securities. Of the $250.3 million of mortgage-backed securities, $148.6 million is invested in U.S. agency paper and $101.7 million is invested in collateralized mortgage obligations, of which $75.0 million, or 73.8%, are rated AA- or better. In addition, the Company holds $172.6 million in asset-backed securities, of which 66.2% are rated AA- or better and $136.9 million in commercial mortgaged-backed securities, of which 84.6% are rated AA- or better. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s asset-backed securities is 32.4. The Company also faces liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is when the fair value of an investment is not able to be realized due to lack of interest by outside parties in the marketplace. The Company attempts to diversify its investment holdings to minimize this risk. The Company’s investment managers run periodic analysis of liquidity costs to the fixed income portfolio. The Company also faces credit risk. 92.7% of the Company’s fixed income securities are investment grade securities. 17.6% of the Company’s fixed maturities are rated AAA. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of this report for a more detailed discussion of the credit market and the Company’s investment strategy.

In addition, some of the Company’s bonds have call or prepayment options. This could subject the Company to reinvestment risk should interest rates fall and issuers call their securities and the Company is forced to invest the proceeds at lower interest rates. The Company seeks to mitigate its reinvestment risk by investing in securities with varied maturity dates, so that only a portion of the portfolio will mature, be called, or be prepaid at any point in time. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had aggregate equity securities of $100.0 million that consisted of common stocks and preferred stocks. The Company’s investments in other invested assets is comprised of five limited liability companies and limited partnerships. At December 31, 2021, a partnership that invests in distressed securities and assets was valued at $0.3 million, a partnership that invests in stressed and distressed debt instruments was valued at $8.6 million, a partnership that invests in Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) qualifying assets was valued at $11.7 million, a partnership comprised of performing, stressed or distressed securities and loans across the global fixed income markets was valued at $25.8 million, and a limited liability company that invests in a broad portfolio of non-investment grade loans was valued at $106.2 million. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value. There is no readily available independent market price for these limited liability partnership investments and the Company does not have access to daily valuations. The Company receives annual audited financial statements from each of the partnership investments it owns. Net realized investment gains (losses) were $15.9 million, ($14.7) million and $35.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Competition The Company competes with numerous domestic and international insurance and reinsurance companies, mutual companies, specialty insurance companies, underwriting agencies, diversified financial services companies, Lloyd's syndicates, risk retention groups, insurance buying groups, risk securitization products and alternative self-insurance mechanisms. In particular, the Company competes against insurance subsidiaries of the groups in the specialty insurance market noted below, insurance companies, and others, including: • American International Group • Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. • • Berkshire Hathaway Everest Re Group, Ltd. • Great American Insurance Group • Hallmark Financial Services, Inc. 16 • HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. • • IFG Companies James River Group Holdings • Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. • Markel Corporation • Nationwide Insurance • • • • RLI Corporation Selective Insurance Group, Inc. The Hartford The Travelers Companies, Inc. • W.R. Berkley Corporation In addition to the companies mentioned above, the Company is facing competition from standard line companies who are continuing to write risks that traditionally had been written by excess and surplus lines carriers, Bermuda companies who are establishing relationships with wholesale brokers and purchasing carriers, and other excess and surplus lines competitors. Competition may take the form of lower prices, broader coverage, greater product flexibility, higher quality services, reputation and financial strength or higher ratings by independent rating agencies. In all of the Company’s markets, it competes by developing insurance products to satisfy well-defined market needs and by maintaining relationships with brokers and insureds that rely on the Company’s expertise. For its program and specialty wholesale products, offerings and underwriting products that are not readily available is the Company’s principal means of differentiating itself from its competition. Each of the Company’s products has its own distinct competitive environment. The Company seeks to compete through innovative products, appropriate pricing, niche underwriting expertise, and quality service to policyholders, general agencies and brokers. Employees The Company had 360 employees at December 31, 2021 as compared with 390 employees at December 31, 2020. None of the Company’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements as of December 31, 2021. The Company focuses on attracting, developing and retaining a team of highly talented and motivated employees. The Company conducts regular assessments of its compensation and benefit practices and pay levels to help ensure that its employees are compensated fairly and competitively. The Company devotes resources to employee training and development. Individual objectives are set annually for each employee, and attainment of those objectives is an element of the employee’s performance assessment. The Company recognizes that its success is based on the talents and dedication of those it employs and is highly invested in its employees' success. Ratings AM Best has seven rating categories in the AM Best Financial Strength Rating Scale. The categories ranging from best to worst are Superior, Excellent, Good, Fair, Marginal, Weak, and Poor. Within each rating category, there are rating notches of plus or minus to show additional gradation of the ratings. AM Best currently assigns the Company’s insurance companies with a financial strength rating of "A" (Excellent). Publications of AM Best indicate that "A" (Excellent) ratings are assigned to those companies that, in AM Best's opinion, have an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. To determine a credit rating, AM Best performs quantitative and qualitative analysis which includes evaluating balance sheet strength, operating performance, enterprise risk management, and the business profile. These ratings are based on factors relevant to policyholders, general agencies, insurance brokers and intermediaries and are not directed to the protection of investors. 17 General Regulation The insurance industry is regulated in most countries, although the degree and type of regulation varies significantly from one jurisdiction to another. The United States is Global Indemnity’s only governing, and taxing nation. U.S. Regulation At December 31, 2021, the Company had six subsidiaries operating as insurance companies domiciled in the United States; United National Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, and Penn-Star Insurance Company, which are domiciled in Pennsylvania; Diamond State Insurance Company which is domiciled in Indiana; Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, which is domiciled in Virginia; and American Reliable Insurance Company, which is domiciled in Arizona. As the parent of these insurance companies, Global Indemnity is subject to the insurance holding company laws of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, and Arizona. These laws generally require each of the insurance companies to register with its respective domestic state insurance department and to annually furnish financial and other information about the operations of the companies within the insurance holding company system. Generally, all material transactions among affiliated companies in the holding company system to which any of the insurance companies is a party must be fair, and, if material or of a specified category, require prior notice and approval or absence of disapproval by the insurance department where the subsidiary is domiciled. Material transactions include sales, loans, contributions, reinsurance agreements, certain types of dividends, and service agreements with the non-insurance companies within Global Indemnity’s family of companies. State Insurance Regulation State insurance authorities have broad regulatory powers with respect to various aspects of the business of insurance companies, including, but not limited to, licensing companies to transact admitted business or determining eligibility to write surplus lines business, accreditation of reinsurers, admittance of assets to statutory surplus, regulating unfair trade and claims practices, establishing reserve requirements and solvency standards, management of enterprise risk, regulating investments and dividends, approving policy forms and related materials in certain instances and approving premium rates in certain instances. State insurance laws and regulations may require the Company’s insurance companies to file financial statements with insurance departments everywhere they will be licensed or eligible or accredited to conduct insurance business, and their operations are subject to review by those departments at any time. The Company’s insurance companies prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting principles ("SAP") and procedures prescribed or permitted by these departments. State insurance departments also conduct periodic examinations of the books and records, financial reporting, policy filings and market conduct of insurance companies domiciled in their states, generally once every three to five years, although market conduct examinations may take place at any time. These examinations are generally carried out in cooperation with the insurance departments of other states under guidelines promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). In addition, admitted insurers are subject to targeted market conduct examinations involving specific insurers by state insurance regulators in any state in which the insurer is admitted. The insurance departments for the states of Indiana, Virginia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania completed their most recent financial examinations of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries for the period ended December 31, 2017. Their final reports were issued in 2019 and there were no materially adverse findings. Before a person can acquire control of an U.S. insurance company, prior written approval must be obtained from the insurance commissioner of the state where the insurer is domiciled. Prior to granting approval of an application to acquire control of a domestic insurer, the state insurance commissioner will consider factors such as the financial strength of the applicant, the integrity and management of the applicant's board of directors and executive officers, the acquirer’s plans for the management, board of directors, executive officers, and employees of the company being acquired, the acquirer’s plans for the future operations of the domestic insurer and any anti-competitive results that may arise from the consummation of the acquisition of control. Generally, state statutes provide that control over a domestic insurer is presumed to exist if any person, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, holds with the power to vote, or holds proxies representing 10% or more of the voting securities of the domestic insurer. Because a person acquiring 10% or more of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares would indirectly control the same percentage of the stock of the insurance companies, the insurance change of control laws of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia and Arizona would likely apply to such a transaction. These laws may discourage potential acquisition proposals and may delay, deter or prevent a change of control of Global Indemnity Group, LLC, including through transactions, and in particular unsolicited transactions, that some or all of the shareholders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC might consider desirable. 18 Insurance Regulatory Information System Ratios The NAIC Insurance Regulatory Information System ("IRIS") was developed by a committee of the state insurance regulators and is intended primarily to assist state insurance departments in executing their statutory mandates to oversee the financial condition of insurance companies operating in their respective states. IRIS identifies thirteen industry ratios and specifies "usual values" for each ratio. Departure from the usual values of the ratios can lead to inquiries from individual state insurance commissioners that require the insurer to describe certain aspects of a business that are causing such departures. It is not uncommon for companies to have ratios that fall outside of these usual values. Although the Company’s insurance subsidiaries have departures from usual values of certain IRIS ratios, the Company believes that its insurance subsidiaries have adequate capital and liquidity to meet their operational needs. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries departures from usual values of certain IRIS ratios are as follows: • Investment yields were lower than the IRIS range for each of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries as a result of a historically low rate environment during the year. For United National Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company and Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, a high percentage of their invested assets consisted of wholly-owned subsidiaries which did not distribute dividends in 2021. For Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company, the low rate environment contributed to their low investment yields in 2021. • Adjusted liabilities to liquid assets ratio for United National Insurance Company and Penn-America Insurance Company were outside of the IRIS range mainly due to intercompany payables to parents and affiliates that were settled in the 1st quarter of 2022. • The gross agents balances (in collection) to policyholders surplus was outside of the IRIS range for United National Insurance Company mainly due to intercompany receivables from affiliates that were settled in the 1st quarter of 2022. Risk-Based Capital Regulations The state insurance departments of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia and Arizona require that each domestic insurer report its risk-based capital based on a formula calculated by applying factors to various asset, premium and reserve items. The formula takes into account the risk characteristics of the insurer, including asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. The respective state insurance regulators use the formula as an early warning regulatory tool to identify possible inadequately capitalized insurers for purposes of initiating regulatory action, and generally not as a means to rank insurers. State insurance laws impose broad confidentiality requirements on those engaged in insurance (including insurers, general agencies, brokers and others) and on state insurance departments as to the use and publication of risk-based capital data. The respective state insurance regulators have explicit regulatory authority to require various actions by, or to take various actions against, insurers whose total adjusted capital does not exceed certain company action level risk-based capital levels. Based on the standards currently adopted, the insurance companies reported in their 2021 statutory filings that their capital and surplus are above the prescribed risk-based capital requirements. See Note 21 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the NAIC's risk-based capital model for determining the levels of statutory capital and surplus an insurer must maintain. Statutory Accounting Principles (“SAP”) SAP is a basis of accounting developed to assist insurance regulators in monitoring and regulating the solvency of insurance companies. SAP is primarily concerned with measuring an insurer's surplus. Accordingly, statutory accounting focuses on valuing assets and liabilities of insurers at financial reporting dates in accordance with appropriate insurance laws, regulatory provisions, and practices prescribed or permitted by each insurer's domiciliary state. GAAP is concerned with a company's solvency, but it is also concerned with other financial measurements, such as matching revenues and expenses, income, and cash flows. As a direct result, different line item groupings of assets and liabilities and different amounts of assets and liabilities are reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP than financial statements prepared in accordance with SAP. Statutory accounting practices established by the NAIC and adopted in part by the Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, and Arizona regulators determine, among other things, the amount of statutory surplus and statutory net income (loss) of the insurance companies and thus determine, in part, the amount of funds these subsidiaries have available to pay dividends. 19 State Dividend Limitations The insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval of the applicable state regulatory authorities. Dividends may be paid without advanced regulatory approval only out of unassigned surplus. The dividend limitations imposed by the applicable state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each company within the Insurance Operations that are determined using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. See “Regulation – Statutory Accounting Principles.” Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes, if any. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in Item 7 of Part II of this report for a more complete description of the state dividend limitations. See Note 21 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for the maximum amount of distributions that the Company’s insurance companies could pay as dividends in 2022. Guaranty Associations and Similar Arrangements Most of the jurisdictions in which the insurance companies are admitted to transact business require property and casualty insurers doing business within that jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations. These associations are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent, or failed insurer is engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets or in limited circumstances by surcharging policyholders. Federal Insurance Regulation The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) includes a number of provisions having a direct impact on the insurance industry, most notably, streamlining of surplus lines insurance, credit for reinsurance, and systemic risk regulation. With respect to surplus lines insurance, the Dodd-Frank Act gives exclusive authority to regulate surplus lines transactions to the home state of the insured, and the requirement that a surplus lines broker must first attempt to place coverage in the admitted market is substantially softened with respect to large commercial policyholders. Significantly, the Dodd-Frank Act provides that a state may not prevent a surplus lines broker from placing surplus lines insurance with a non-U.S. insurer that appears on the quarterly listing of non-admitted insurers maintained by the International Insurers Department of the NAIC. Regarding credit for reinsurance, the Dodd-Frank Act generally provides that the state of domicile of the ceding company (and no other state) may regulate financial statement credit for the ceded risk. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides the U.S. Federal Reserve with supervisory authority over insurance companies that are deemed to be “systemically important.” The Company continues to monitor federal insurance regulations and any changes thereto that may impact operations.

RISK FACTORS The risks and uncertainties described below are those the Company believes to be material. If any of the following actually occur, the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Risks Related to the Company’s Business If actual claims payments exceed the Company’s reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. The Company’s success depends upon its ability to accurately assess the risks associated with the insurance and reinsurance policies that it writes. The Company establishes reserves on an undiscounted basis to cover its estimated liability for the payment of all losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred with respect to premiums earned on the insurance policies that it writes. Reserves do not represent an exact calculation of liability. Rather, reserves are estimates of what the Company expects to be the ultimate cost of resolution and administration of claims under the insurance policies that it writes. These estimates are based upon actuarial and statistical projections, the Company’s assessment of currently available data, as well as estimates and assumptions as to future trends in claims severity and frequency, judicial theories of liability and other factors. The Company continually refines its reserve estimates in an ongoing process as experience develops and claims are reported and settled. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries obtain an annual statement of opinion from an independent actuarial firm on the reasonableness of these reserves. Establishing an appropriate level of reserves is an inherently uncertain process. The following factors may have a substantial impact on the Company’s future actual losses and loss adjustment experience: • • • • claim and expense payments; frequency and severity of claims; legislative and judicial developments; and changes in economic conditions, including the effect of inflation. For example, as industry practices and legal, judicial, social and other conditions change, unexpected and unintended exposures related to claims and coverage may emerge. These exposures may either extend coverage beyond the Company’s underwriting intent or increase the frequency or severity of claims. As a result, such developments could cause the Company’s level of reserves to be inadequate. Actual losses and loss adjustment expenses the Company incurs under insurance policies that it writes may be different from the amount of reserves it establishes, and to the extent that actual losses and loss adjustment expenses exceed the Company’s expectations and the reserves reflected on its financial statements, the Company will be required to immediately reflect those changes by increasing its reserves. In addition, regulators could require that the Company increase its reserves if they determine that the reserves were understated in the past. When the Company increases reserves, pre-tax income for the period in which it does so will decrease by a corresponding amount. In addition to having an effect on reserves and pre-tax income, increasing or "strengthening" reserves causes a reduction in the Company’s insurance companies' surplus and could cause the rating of its insurance company subsidiaries to be downgraded or placed on credit watch. Such a downgrade could, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell insurance policies. 21 The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, including the COVID-19 outbreak, could result in declines in business and increases in claims that could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is exposed to various risks arising out of natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, landslides, tornadoes, typhoons, tsunamis, hailstorms, explosions, climate events or weather patterns and public health crises, illness, epidemics or pandemic health events, as well as man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism, military actions, cyber-terrorism, explosions and biological, chemical or radiological events. The continued threat of terrorism and ongoing military actions may cause significant volatility in global financial markets, and a natural or man-made disaster could trigger an economic downturn in the areas directly or indirectly affected by the disaster. These consequences could, among other things, result in a decline in business and increased claims from those areas. They could also result in reduced underwriting capacity making it more difficult for the Company’s agents to place business. Disasters also could disrupt public and private infrastructure, including communications and financial services, which could disrupt the Company’s ordinary business operations. A natural or man-made disaster also could disrupt the operations of the Company’s counterparties or result in increased prices for the products and services they provide to the Company. Finally, a natural or man-made disaster could increase the incidence or severity of E&O claims against the Company. For example, the Company may experience disruptions to its business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and any associated protective or preventative measures including but not limited to: • • • • • • clients choosing to limit purchases of insurance due to declining business conditions, which would inhibit the Company’s ability to generate earned premium; travel restrictions and quarantines leading to a lack of in-person meetings, which would hinder the Company’s ability to establish relationships or originate new business; cancellation, delays, or non-payment of premium could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity; risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage. alternative working arrangements, including colleagues working remotely, which could negatively impact the Company’s business; and significant volatility in financial markets affecting the market value and liquidity of the Company’s investment portfolio. COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including: • • • • the ultimate severity of COVID-19 and its associated variants; the continued duration of the pandemic; business closures, travel restrictions, social distancing and other actions taken to contain COVID-19; and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat COVID-19, including vaccine distribution and effectiveness. Given the dynamic nature of these events, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions will persist, the full extent of the impact they will have on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations or the pace or extent of any subsequent recovery. These and other disruptions related to COVID-19 could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 22 A decline in rating for any of the Company’s insurance or reinsurance subsidiaries could adversely affect its position in the insurance market; making it more difficult to market its insurance products and cause premiums and earnings to decrease. If the rating of any of the Company’s insurance companies is reduced from its current level of “A” (Excellent) by AM Best, the Company’s competitive position in the insurance industry could suffer, and it could be more difficult to market its insurance products. A downgrade could result in a significant reduction in the number of insurance contracts the Company writes and in a substantial loss of business; as such business could move to other competitors with higher ratings, thus causing premiums and earnings to decrease. These ratings are not an evaluation of, nor are they directed to, investors in Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares. Publications of AM Best indicate that companies are assigned "A" (Excellent) ratings if, in AM Best's opinion, they have an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. These ratings are subject to periodic review by, and may be revised downward or revoked at the sole discretion of AM Best. A failure in the Company’s operational systems or infrastructure or those of third parties, including security breaches or cyber-attacks, could disrupt the Company’s business, its reputation, and / or cause losses which would have a material effect on the Company’s business operations and financial results. The Company’s business is dependent upon the secure processing, storage, and transmission of information over computer networks using applications, systems and other technologies. The business depends on effective information security and systems to perform accounting, policy administration, claims, underwriting, actuarial and all aspects of day to day operations necessary to service the Company’s customers and agents, to value the Company’s investments and to timely and accurately report the Company’s financial results. The information systems the Company relies upon must ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data, including systems maintained by the Company as well as data in and assets held through third-party service providers and systems. The Company employs various measures, systems, applications and software to address data security. The Company reviews its existing security measures and systems on a continuing basis through internal and independent evaluations. The Company has implemented administrative and technical controls and takes protective actions in an attempt to reduce the risk of cyber incidents. The Company’s internal and external controls, processes, and the vendors used to protect networks, systems and applications, individually or together, may be insufficient to prevent a security incident. Employee or third-party vendor errors, malicious acts, unauthorized access, computer viruses, malware, the introduction of malicious code, system failures and disruptions, and cyber-attacks can result in business interruption, compromise of data and loss of assets. Complexity of the Company’s technology increases regularly and has increased the risk of a security incident involving data, network, systems and applications. Security incidents have the potential to interrupt business, cause delays in processes and procedures directly affecting the Company, and jeopardize the Company’s, insureds’, claimants’, agents’ and others’ confidential data resulting in data loss, loss of assets, and reputational damages. If this occurs it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations and financial results. Security incidents could require significant resources, both internal and external, to resolve or remediate and could result in financial losses that may not be covered by insurance or not fully recoverable under any insurance. The Company may be subject to litigation and damages or regulatory action under data protection and privacy laws and regulations enacted by federal, state and foreign governments, or other regulatory bodies. As a result, the Company’s ability to conduct its business and its results of operations might be materially and adversely affected. 23 Investment and Debt Related Risks The Company’s investment performance may suffer as a result of adverse capital market developments or other factors, which would in turn adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. The Company derives a significant portion of its income from its invested assets. As a result, the Company’s operating results depend in part on the performance of its investment portfolio. The Company’s operating results are subject to a variety of investment risks, including risks relating to general economic conditions, market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, liquidity risk and credit and default risk. The fair value of fixed income investments can fluctuate depending on changes in interest rates and the credit quality of underlying issuers. Generally, the fair market value of these investments has an inverse relationship with changes in interest rates, while net investment income earned by the Company from future investments in fixed maturities will generally increase or decrease with changes in interest rates. Additionally, with respect to certain of its investments, the Company is subject to pre-payment or reinvestment risk. Credit tightening could negatively impact the Company’s future investment returns and limit the ability to invest in certain classes of investments. Credit tightening may cause opportunities that are marginally attractive to not be financed, which could cause a decrease in the number of bond issuances. If marginally attractive opportunities are financed, they may be at higher interest rates, which would cause credit risk of such opportunities to increase. If new debt supply is curtailed, it could cause interest rates on securities that are deemed to be credit-worthy to decline. Funds generated by operations, sales, and maturities will need to be invested. If the Company invests during a tight credit market, investment returns could be lower than the returns the Company is currently realizing and/or it may have to invest in higher risk securities. With respect to its longer-term liabilities, the Company strives to structure its investments in a manner that recognizes liquidity needs for its future liabilities. However, if the Company’s liquidity needs or general and specific liability profile unexpectedly changes, it may not be successful in continuing to structure its investment portfolio in that manner. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful in correlating its investment portfolio with its expected liabilities, the Company may be forced to liquidate its investments at times and prices that are not optimal, which could have a material adverse effect on the performance of its investment portfolio. The Company refers to this risk as liquidity risk, which is when the fair value of an investment is not able to be realized due to low demand by outside parties in the marketplace. The Company is also subject to credit risk due to non-payment of principal or interest. Several classes of securities that the Company holds have default risk. As interest rates rise for companies that are deemed to be less creditworthy, there is a greater risk that they will be unable to pay contractual interest or principal on their debt obligations. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Although the Company attempts to take measures to manage the risks of investing in a changing interest rate environment, the Company may not be able to mitigate interest rate sensitivity effectively. A significant increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the market value of the Company’s fixed maturities securities. As of March 9, 2022, the Company has identified $3.9 million of fixed income investments that have limited exposure to Russia and Ukraine. The unrealized loss on these securities was $0.2 million as of March 9, 2022. Other securities held could be identified that also have exposure to Russia/Ukraine. Other securities could be impacted by the Russia/Ukraine situation. The Company also has an equity portfolio. The performance of the Company’s equity portfolio is dependent upon a number of factors, including many of the same factors that affect the performance of its fixed income investments, although those factors sometimes have the opposite effect on the performance of the equity portfolio. Individual equity securities have unsystemic risk. The Company could experience market declines on these investments. The Company also has systemic risk, which is the risk inherent in the general market due to broad macroeconomic factors that affect all companies in the market. If the market indexes were to decline, the Company anticipates that the value of its portfolio would be negatively affected. The Company has investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships which are not liquid. The Company does not have the contractual option to redeem its interests but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets. The Company does not have the ability to sell or transfer its limited partnership interests without consent from the general partner. The Company’s returns could be negatively affected if the market values of the limited liability companies and limited partnerships decline. If the Company needs liquidity, it might be forced to liquidate other investments at a time when prices are not optimal. 24 See Note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further information surrounding the Company’s investments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company’s outstanding indebtedness could adversely affect its financial flexibility and a failure to make required payments on the Subordinated Notes could adversely affect the Company. In 2017, the Company sold $130 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Subordinated Notes due 2047 (“Subordinated Notes”) of which the Company and the Company’s indirect subsidiary, GBLI Holdings, LLC (“GBLI Holdings”), are co- obligors is outstanding. The level of debt outstanding could adversely affect the Company’s financial flexibility, including: • • • increasing vulnerability to changing economic, regulatory and industry conditions; limiting the ability to borrow additional funds; and requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to debt payments, thereby, reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other purposes. Furthermore, failure to make periodic payments related to outstanding indebtedness could impact rating agencies’ and regulators’ assessment of the Company’s capital position, adequacy and flexibility and accordingly, ratings assigned by rating agencies and regulators’ assessment of the solvency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Risks Related to the Company’s Business Partners The Company cannot guarantee that its reinsurers will pay in a timely fashion, if at all, and as a result, the Company could experience losses. The Company cedes a portion of gross written premiums to third-party reinsurers under reinsurance contracts. Although reinsurance makes the reinsurer liable to the Company to the extent the risk is transferred, it does not relieve the Company of its liability to its policyholders. Upon payment of claims, the Company will bill its reinsurers for their share of such claims. The reinsurers may not pay the reinsurance receivables that they owe to the Company or they may not pay such receivables on a timely basis. If the reinsurers fail to pay it or fail to pay on a timely basis, the Company’s financial results would be adversely affected. Lack of reinsurer liquidity, perceived improper underwriting or claim handling by the Company, and other factors could cause a reinsurer not to pay. See "Business – Reinsurance of Underwriting Risk" in Item 1 of Part I of this report. See Note 10 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further information surrounding the Company’s reinsurance receivable balances as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Since the Company depends on professional general agencies, brokers, other insurance companies and other reinsurance companies for a significant portion of its revenue, a loss of one or more could adversely affect the Company. The Company markets and distributes its insurance products through a group of approximately 575 professional general agencies (net of 75 professional general agencies which write business in more than one of the Company’s segments) that have specific quoting and binding authority and that in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. The Company also markets and distributes its reinsurance products through third-party brokers, insurance companies and reinsurance companies. A loss of all or substantially all of the business produced by one or more of these general agencies, brokers, insurance companies or reinsurance companies could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. If market conditions cause reinsurance to be more costly or unavailable, the Company may be required to bear increased risks or reduce the level of its underwriting commitments. As part of the Company’s overall strategy of risk and capacity management, it purchases reinsurance for a portion of the risk underwritten by its insurance subsidiaries. Market conditions beyond the Company’s control determine the availability and cost of the reinsurance it purchases, which may affect the level of its business and profitability. The Company’s third-party reinsurance facilities are generally subject to annual renewal. The Company may be unable to maintain its current reinsurance facilities or obtain other reinsurance facilities in adequate amounts and at favorable rates. If the Company is unable to renew expiring facilities or obtain new reinsurance facilities, either the net exposure to risk would increase or, if the Company is unwilling to bear an increase in net risk exposures, it would have to reduce the amount of risk it underwrites. 25 The Company’s financial and business results may fluctuate as a result of many factors, including cyclical changes in the insurance industry. Historically, the results of companies in the property and casualty insurance industry have been subject to significant fluctuations and uncertainties. The industry's profitability can be affected significantly by: • • • • • • competition; capital capacity; rising levels of actual costs that are not foreseen by companies at the time they price their products; volatile and unpredictable developments, including man-made, weather-related and other natural catastrophes or terrorist attacks; changes in loss reserves resulting from the general claims and legal environments as different types of claims arise and judicial interpretations relating to the scope of insurers' liability develop; and fluctuations in interest rates, inflationary pressures and other changes in the investment environment, which affect returns on invested assets and may affect the ultimate payout of losses. The demand for property and casualty insurance and reinsurance can also vary significantly, rising as the overall level of economic activity increases and falling as that activity decreases. The property and casualty insurance industry historically is cyclical in nature. These fluctuations in demand and competition could produce underwriting results that would have a negative impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The Company faces significant competitive pressures in its business that could cause demand for its products to fall and adversely affect the Company’s profitability. The Company competes with a large number of other companies in its selected lines of business. The Company competes, and will continue to compete, with major U.S. and non-U.S. insurers and other regional companies, as well as mutual companies, specialty insurance companies, reinsurance companies, underwriting agencies and diversified financial services companies. The Company’s competitors include, among others: American International Group, Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd., Berkshire Hathaway, Everest Re Group, Ltd., Great American Insurance Group, Hallmark Financial Services, Inc., HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc., IFG Companies, James River Group Holdings, Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., Markel Corporation, Nationwide Insurance, RLI Corporation, Selective Insurance Group, Inc., The Hartford, The Travelers Companies, Inc., and W.R. Berkley Corporation. Some of the Company’s competitors have greater financial and marketing resources than the Company does. The Company’s profitability could be adversely affected if it loses business to competitors offering similar products at or below the Company’s prices. Many of the Company’s general agencies pay the insurance premiums on business they have bound to the Company on a monthly basis. This accumulation of balances due to the Company exposes it to credit risk. Insurance premiums generally flow from the insured to their retail broker, then into a trust account controlled by the Company’s professional general agencies. Several of the Company’s professional general agencies are required to forward funds, net of commissions, to the Company following the end of each month. Consequently, the Company assumes a degree of credit risk on the aggregate amount of these balances that have been paid by the insured but have yet to reach the Company. Brokers, insurance companies and reinsurance companies typically pay premiums on reinsurance treaties written with the Company on a quarterly basis. This accumulation of balances due to the Company exposes it to credit risk. Assumed premiums on reinsurance treaties generally flow from the ceding companies to the Company on a quarterly basis. In some instances, the reinsurance treaties allow for funds to be withheld for longer periods as specified in the treaties. Consequently, the Company assumes a degree of credit risk on the aggregate amount of these balances that have been collected by the reinsured but have yet to reach the Company. 26 Because the Company provides its general agencies with specific quoting and binding authority, if any of them fail to comply with pre-established guidelines, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected. The Company markets and distributes its insurance products through professional general agencies that have limited quoting and binding authority and that in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. These professional general agencies can bind certain risks without the Company’s initial approval. If any of these wholesale professional general agencies fail to comply with the Company’s underwriting guidelines and the terms of their appointment, the Company could be bound on a particular risk or number of risks that were not anticipated when it developed the insurance products or estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses. Such actions could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. Risks Related to Regulation of the Company Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s holding company structure and regulatory constraints limit its ability to receive dividends from subsidiaries in order to meet its cash requirements. Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company and, as such, has no substantial operations of its own. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s assets primarily consist of cash, an investment portfolio, and ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Investment income generated by its investment portfolio as well as dividends and other permitted distributions from insurance subsidiaries are expected to be Global Indemnity Group, LLC 's sole source of funds to meet ongoing cash requirements, including debt service payments and other expenses. Due to its corporate structure, most of the dividends that Global Indemnity Group, LLC receives from its subsidiaries must pass through Penn-Patriot Insurance Company (“Penn-Patriot”). The inability of Penn-Patriot to pay dividends in an amount sufficient to enable Global Indemnity Group, LLC to meet its cash requirements at the holding company level could have a material adverse effect on its operations. In addition, the inability of Penn-Patriot’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to GBLI Holdings, LLC could limit GBLI Holdings, LLC’s ability to meet its debt obligations and corporate expense obligations and could have a material adverse effect on its operations. See "Regulation – U.S. Regulation” in Item 1 of Part I of this report and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in Item 7 of Part II of this report for more information on state dividend limitations. Also, see Note 21 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for the maximum amount of dividends that could be paid by the Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiaries in 2022. The Company’s businesses are heavily regulated and changes in regulation may limit the way it operates. The Company is subject to extensive supervision and regulation in the U.S. states in which it operates. This is particularly true in those states in which the Company’s insurance subsidiaries are licensed, as opposed to those states where its insurance subsidiaries write business on a surplus lines basis. The supervision and regulation relate to numerous aspects of the Company’s business and financial condition. The primary purpose of the supervision and regulation is the protection of the Company’s insurance policyholders and not its investors. The extent of regulation varies, but generally is governed by state statutes. These statutes delegate regulatory, supervisory, and administrative authority to state insurance departments. This system of regulation covers, among other things: • • • • • • • • standards of solvency, including risk-based capital measurements; restrictions on the nature, quality and concentration of investments; restrictions on the types of terms that the Company can include or exclude in the insurance policies it offers; restrictions on the way rates are developed and the premiums the Company may charge; standards for the manner in which general agencies may be appointed or terminated; credit for reinsurance; certain required methods of accounting; reserves for unearned premiums, losses and other purposes; and 27 • potential assessments for the provision of funds necessary for the settlement of covered claims under certain insurance policies provided by impaired, insolvent or failed insurance companies. The statutes or the state insurance department regulations may affect the cost or demand for the Company’s products and may impede the Company from obtaining rate increases or taking other actions it might wish to take to increase profitability. Further, the Company may be unable to maintain all required licenses and approvals and its business may not fully comply with the wide variety of applicable laws and regulations or the relevant authority's interpretation of the laws and regulations. Also, regulatory authorities have discretion to grant, renew or revoke licenses and approvals subject to the applicable state statutes and appeal process. If the Company does not have the requisite licenses and approvals (including in some states the requisite secretary of state registration) or do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the insurance regulatory authorities could stop or temporarily suspend the Company from carrying on some or all of its activities or monetarily penalize the Company. The U.S. insurance regulatory framework has come under increased federal scrutiny and some state legislators have considered or enacted laws that may alter or increase state regulation of insurance and reinsurance companies and holding companies. Moreover, the NAIC, which is an association of the insurance commissioners of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia, and state insurance regulators regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations. Changes in these laws and regulations or the interpretation of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Although the U.S. federal government has not historically regulated the insurance business, there have been proposals from time to time to impose federal regulation on the insurance industry. The Dodd-Frank Act establishes a Federal Insurance Office within the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Federal Insurance Office initially has limited regulatory authority and is empowered to gather data and information regarding the insurance industry and insurers, including conducting a study for submission to the U.S. Congress on how to modernize and improve insurance regulation in the U.S. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act gives the Federal Reserve supervisory authority over a number of financial services companies, including insurance companies, if they are designated by a two-thirds vote of a Financial Stability Oversight Council as "systemically important." While the Company does not believe that it is "systemically important," as defined in the Dodd-Frank Act, it is possible that the Financial Stability Oversight Council may conclude that it is. If the Company were designated as "systemically important," the Federal Reserve's supervisory authority could include the ability to impose heightened financial regulation and could impact requirements regarding the Company’s capital, liquidity, leverage, business and investment conduct. As a result of the foregoing, the Dodd-Frank Act, or other additional federal regulation that is adopted in the future, could impose significant burdens on the Company, including impacting the ways in which it conducts business, increasing compliance costs and duplicating state regulation, and could result in a competitive disadvantage, particularly relative to smaller insurers who may not be subject to the same level of regulation. The Company’s business practices with respect to data could give rise to liabilities or reputational harm as a result of governmental regulation, legal requirements or industry standards relating to consumer privacy and data protection. In June 2018, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), which went into effect on January 2020. The CCPA, among other things, requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers with the rights to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The CCPA creates a private right of action for statutory damages for certain breaches of information. If the Company fails to protect the privacy of third-party data or implement practices and procedures deemed necessary by regulators or consumers or to comply with the CCPA or other applicable regimes, the Company may be subject to fines, penalties, litigation, and reputational harm and its business may be seriously harmed. In addition, various government and consumer agencies and public advocacy groups have called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. It is possible that new laws, regulations, standards, recommendations, best practices or requirements will be adopted that would affect the Company’s business. To the extent that the Company is subject to new laws or recommendations or chooses to adopt new standards, recommendations, or other requirements, the Company may have greater compliance burdens. If the Company is perceived as not operating in accordance with industry best practices or any such guidelines or codes with regard to privacy, the Company’s reputation may suffer, and the Company could lose relationships with customers or partners. 28 Risks Related to Ownership of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Shares and Certain Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLCA”) Provisions The interests of holders of class A common shares may conflict with the interests of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s controlling shareholder. Fox Paine Capital Fund II International L.P. and certain of its affiliates (the “Fox Paine Funds”), which are investment funds managed by Fox Paine & Company, LLC, together with Fox Mercury Investments, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (the “FM Entities”), and Fox Paine & Company LLC (collectively, the “Fox Paine Entities”) beneficially own shares representing approximately 82.9% of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s total voting power. The percentage of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s total voting power that the Fox Paine Entities may exercise is greater than the percentage of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s total shares that the Fox Paine Entities beneficially own because the Fox Paine Entities beneficially own all of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class B common shares, which are entitled to ten votes per share as opposed to class A common shares, which are entitled to one vote per share. The class A common shares and the class B common shares generally vote together as a single class on matters presented to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s shareholders. As a result, the Fox Paine Entities have and will continue to have control over the outcome of certain matters requiring shareholder approval, including the power to, among other things: • • • elect any of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s directors not otherwise appointed by the Fox Paine Entities pursuant to the provisions of the LLCA (as defined below) (which entitles the Fox Paine Entities, in their collective capacity as the “Class B Majority Shareholder” (as defined in the LLCA), to certain Director appointment rights); approve changes to the LLCA that require shareholder approval; and ratify the appointment of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s auditors. Subject to certain exceptions, the Fox Paine Entities may also be able to prevent or cause a change of control of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. The Fox Paine Entities’ control over Global Indemnity Group, LLC, and the Fox Paine Entities’ ability in certain circumstances to prevent or cause a change of control of Global Indemnity Group, LLC, may delay or prevent a change of control, or cause a change of control to occur at a time when it is not favored by other shareholders. As a result, the trading price of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares could be adversely affected. In addition, Global Indemnity Group, LLC has agreed to pay Fox Paine & Company, LLC an annual management fee of $2.6 million, adjusted annually to reflect change in the consumer price index published by the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics “CPI-U”, in exchange for management services. Global Indemnity Group, LLC has also agreed to pay a termination fee of cash in an amount to be agreed upon, plus reimbursement of expenses, upon the termination of Fox Paine & Company, LLC’s management services in connection with the consummation of a change of control transaction that does not involve Fox Paine & Company, LLC and its affiliates. Global Indemnity Group, LLC has also agreed to pay Fox Paine & Company, LLC a transaction advisory fee of cash in an amount to be agreed upon, plus reimbursement of expenses upon the consummation of a change of control transaction that does not involve Fox Paine & Company, LLC and its affiliates in exchange for advisory services to be provided by Fox Paine & Company, LLC in connection therewith. The Fox Paine Entities may in the future make significant investments in other insurance or reinsurance companies. Some of these companies may compete with Global Indemnity Group, LLC or its subsidiaries. The Fox Paine Entities are not obligated to advise Global Indemnity Group, LLC of any investment or business opportunities of which they are aware, and they are not prohibited or restricted from competing with Global Indemnity Group, LLC or its subsidiaries. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s controlling shareholder has the right to appoint a certain number of the members of the Board of Directors proportionate to such shareholder’s ownership in Global Indemnity Group, LLC and also otherwise controls the election of Directors due to its share ownership. While the Fox Paine Entities have the right under the terms of the LLCA to appoint a certain number of directors of the Board of Directors, equal in aggregate to the pro rata percentage of the voting power in Global Indemnity Group, LLC beneficially held by the Fox Paine Entities for so long as the Fox Paine Entities beneficially own (i) a majority of the outstanding class B common shares and (ii) shares representing, in the aggregate, at least 25% or more of the voting power in Global Indemnity Group, LLC, it also controls the election of all directors to the Board of Directors due to its controlling share ownership. The Board of Directors currently consists of six directors, all of whom were identified and proposed for consideration for the Board of Directors by the Fox Paine Entities. 29 Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s LLCA contains an exclusive forum provision that may discourage lawsuits against the Company or Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s directors and officers. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s LLCA requires that, unless Global Indemnity Group, LLC otherwise consents, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any federal securities laws claims brought under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, although, for the avoidance of doubt, all claims accompanying any such federal securities laws claim will be subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s LLCA. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s capital stock is deemed to have received notice of and consented to these provisions. Global Indemnity Group, LLC believes that these provisions are enforceable under both state and federal law. Nevertheless, federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision. These provisions may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Global Indemnity Group, LLC or Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against Global Indemnity Group, LLC or Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s directors, officers or other employees. If a court were to find Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s choice of forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, Global Indemnity Group, LLC may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. Because the Company relies on certain services provided by Fox Paine & Company, LLC, the loss of such services could adversely affect its business. Fox Paine & Company, LLC provides certain management services to the Company. To the extent that Fox Paine & Company, LLC is unable or unwilling to provide similar services in the future, and the Company is unable to perform those services itself or is unable to secure replacement services, the Company’s business could be adversely affected. Risks Related to Taxation Legislative and regulatory action by the U.S. Congress could materially and adversely affect the Company. The Company’s tax position could be adversely impacted by changes in tax laws or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof. Legislative action may be taken by the U.S. Congress which, if ultimately enacted, could, among other things, adversely affect the Company’s effective tax rate and cash tax position. The Company may be subject to adverse foreign taxes related to its historic non-US subsidiaries. Although the Company and its subsidiaries have eliminated most of their historic foreign subsidiaries, the statute of limitations remains open in certain foreign jurisdictions, and it is possible that the Company could be subject to materially adverse foreign taxes with respect to its historic operations. Such adverse foreign taxes could also potentially arise as a result of retroactive changes in law. Holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares may be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes on their share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s taxable income, regardless of whether they receive any cash distributions from Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Under current law, so long as Global Indemnity Group, LLC is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and 90% of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s gross income for each taxable year constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code on a continuing basis, Global Indemnity Group, LLC currently expects that it will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local taxation on their allocable share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, for each of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s taxable years ending with or within their taxable year, regardless of whether they receive any cash distributions from Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Such holders may not receive cash distributions equal to their allocable share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s net taxable income or even the tax liability that results from that income. Accordingly, such holders may be required to make tax payments in connection with their ownership of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares that significantly exceed their cash distributions in any specific year. Income earned by the subsidiaries of Global Indemnity Group, LLC is subject to corporate tax in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and, therefore, is not taxable to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s shareholders until the income is distributed by the subsidiaries to Global Indemnity Group, LLC. 30 There can be no assurance that amounts paid as distributions on Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares will be sufficient to cover the tax liability arising from ownership of the common shares. Any distributions paid on Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares will not take into account a holder’s particular tax situation and, therefore, because of the foregoing as well as other possible reasons, may not be sufficient to pay their full amount of tax based upon such holder’s share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s net taxable income. In addition, the actual amount and timing of distributions will always be subject to the discretion of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s board of directors. Even if Global Indemnity Group, LLC does not distribute cash in an amount that is sufficient to fund a holder’s tax liabilities, they will still be required to pay income taxes on their share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s taxable income. If Global Indemnity Group, LLC is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the value of the shares could be adversely affected. The value of an investment in Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares may depend in part on Global Indemnity Group, LLC being treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A publicly traded partnership will be treated as a partnership, and not as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes so long as 90% or more of its gross income for each taxable year constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, and it is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and related rules. Qualifying income generally includes dividends, interest, capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stocks and securities and certain other forms of investment income. Although Global Indemnity Group, LLC currently intends to manage its affairs so that the partnership will meet the 90% test described above in each taxable year, no assurance can be given as to the types of income that will be earned in any given year. As a result, Global Indemnity Group, LLC may not meet these requirements or Global Indemnity Group, LLC may determine it is prudent to change Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s structure. In either case, Global Indemnity Group, LLC may be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the future. Global Indemnity Group, LLC have not requested, and does not plan to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) on its treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or on any other matter affecting Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s interests in certain businesses are held through entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes; such corporations may be liable for significant taxes and may create other adverse tax consequences, which could potentially adversely affect the value of an investment in Global Indemnity Group, LLC. In light of the publicly traded partnership rules under U.S. federal income tax law and other requirements, Global Indemnity Group, LLC currently holds interests in certain businesses through entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including, in particular, each of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s insurance company subsidiaries. Each such corporation could be liable for significant U.S. federal income taxes and applicable state, local and other taxes, which could adversely affect the value of an investment in Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Furthermore, it is possible that the IRS could challenge the manner in which such corporation’s taxable income is computed by Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Taxable gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares could be more or less than expected. If a sale or other disposition of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares by a holder of such shares is taxable in the United States, the holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized by such holder on the sale or other disposition and such holder’s adjusted tax basis in those shares. A holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares at the time of sale or other disposition will generally be lower than the holder’s original tax basis in the shares to the extent that prior distributions to such holder exceed the total taxable income allocated to such holder. A holder of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares may therefore recognize a gain on a sale or other disposition of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares if the shares are sold or disposed of at a price that is less than their original cost. In addition, a portion of the amount realized, whether or not representing gain, may be treated as ordinary income to such holder to the extent attributable to the holder’s allocable share of unrealized gain or loss in Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s assets that consist of certain unrealized receivables or inventory (if any). 31 Global Indemnity Group, LLC cannot match transferors and transferees of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares, and therefore, Global Indemnity Group, LLC has adopted certain income tax accounting conventions that may not conform with all aspects of applicable tax requirements. The Internal Revenue Code provides that items of partnership income and deductions must be allocated between transferors and transferees of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares. Because Global Indemnity Group, LLC cannot match transferors and transferees of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares, Global Indemnity Group, LLC will apply certain assumptions and conventions in an attempt to comply with applicable rules and to report income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to holders in a manner that reflects such holders’ beneficial shares of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s items. These conventions are designed to more closely align the receipt of cash and the allocation of income between holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares, but these assumptions and conventions may not be in compliance with all aspects of applicable tax requirements. In addition, as a result of such allocation method, holders may be allocated income even if they do not receive any distributions. If Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s conventions are not allowed by the Treasury Regulations (or only apply to transfers of less than all of a holder’s shares) or if the IRS otherwise does not accept Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s conventions, the IRS may contend that Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s income or losses must be reallocated among the holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares. If such a contention were sustained, certain holders’ respective tax liabilities would be adjusted to the possible detriment of certain other holders. Tax-exempt shareholders may face certain adverse U.S. tax consequences from owning Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares. Global Indemnity Group, LLC is not required to manage its operations in a manner that would minimize the likelihood of generating income that would constitute “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent allocated to a tax- exempt shareholder. Although Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s insurance operations are conducted by subsidiaries that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the operations of such corporation would generally not result in an allocation of UBTI to a shareholder on account of the activities of those subsidiaries, Global Indemnity Group, LLC may make certain investments other than through a corporate subsidiary. Moreover, UBTI also includes income attributable to debt-financed property and Global Indemnity Group, LLC is not prohibited from incurring debt to finance its investments, including investments in subsidiaries. Furthermore, Global Indemnity Group, LLC is not prohibited from being (or causing a subsidiary to be) a guarantor of loans made to a subsidiary. If Global Indemnity Group, LLC (or certain of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s subsidiaries) were treated as the borrower for U.S. tax purposes on account of such guarantees, some or all of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s investments could be considered debt-financed property. The potential for income to be characterized as UBTI could make Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares an unsuitable investment for a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares. The IRS Schedules K-1 Global Indemnity Group, LLC provides to holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares each year are more complicated than the IRS Forms 1099 provided by corporations to their stockholders. In addition, Global Indemnity Group, LLC may not be able to furnish to each holder of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares specific tax information within 90 days after the close of each calendar year and such holders may be required to request an extension of time to file their tax returns. Holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares are required to take into account their allocable share of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and other items of the partnership for Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s taxable year ending within or with their taxable year, regardless of whether they received cash distributions. As a publicly traded partnership, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s operating results, including distributions of income, dividends, gains, losses or deductions and adjustments to carrying basis, for each year will be reported on IRS Schedules K-1. Income earned by the subsidiaries of Global Indemnity Group, LLC is subject to corporate tax in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and, therefore, is not taxable to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s shareholders until the income is distributed by the subsidiaries to Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Global Indemnity Group, LLC intends to furnish holders of the common shares, as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of each calendar year, with tax information (including IRS Schedules K-1), which describes their allocable share of gross ordinary income for Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s preceding taxable year. However, it may require longer than 90 days after the end of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s calendar year to obtain the requisite information from all lower-tier entities so that IRS Schedules K-1 may be prepared by Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Consequently, holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares who are U.S. taxpayers may need to file annually with the IRS (and certain states) a request for an extension past the April 15 or the otherwise applicable due date of their income tax return for the taxable year. 32 In addition, holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares are required to report for all tax purposes consistently with the information provided by Global Indemnity Group, LLC for each taxable year. As a result, it is possible that a holder of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares will be required to file amended income tax returns as a result of adjustments to items on the corresponding income tax returns of the partnership. Any obligation for a holder of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares to file amended income tax returns for that or any other reason, including any costs incurred in the preparation or filing of such returns, are the responsibility of each such holder. Finally, because holders are required to report their allocable share of gross ordinary income, tax reporting for holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares is more complicated than for shareholders of a regular corporation. Holders of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares may be subject to an additional U.S. federal income tax on net investment income allocated to such holder by Global Indemnity Group, LLC and on gain on the sale of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common shares. Individuals, estates and trusts are currently subject to an additional 3.8% tax on “net investment income” (or undistributed “net investment income,” in the case of estates and trusts) for each taxable year, with such tax applying to the lesser of such income or the excess of such person’s adjusted gross income (with certain adjustments) over a specified amount. Net investment income includes net income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents and net gain attributable to the disposition of investment property. It is anticipated that net income and gain attributable to an investment in Global Indemnity Group, LLC will be included in a holder of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common share’s “net investment income” subject to this additional tax. The ability of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s corporate subsidiaries to use their net operating loss carryforwards to offset their future taxable income may be subject to limitations. The ability of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s corporate subsidiaries to use their federal net operating losses and built-in losses (“NOLs”) to offset potential future taxable income and related income taxes may be limited. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income that may be offset by loss carryforwards of a “loss corporation” if the corporation experiences an “ownership change” (generally, a cumulative change in ownership that exceeds 50% of the value of a corporation’s stock over a rolling three-year period). Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s corporate subsidiaries may experience an ownership change as a result of issuances or other changes in ownership of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s shares. In addition, certain anti-avoidance rules could result in the application of similar limitations on the ability of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s corporate subsidiaries to use their NOLs. To the extent Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s corporate subsidiaries experience an ownership change or the above rules otherwise become applicable, the ability of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s corporate subsidiaries to utilize their federal NOLs could be significantly limited, and similar limitations may apply at the state level. Risks Related to Employees If the Company does not successfully manage the transition associated with the retirement of its Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, it could adversely affect the Company. On January 19, 2021, the Company announced that Cynthia Y. Valko, chief executive officer and a member of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Board of Directors, informed the Board of Directors that she will retire effective as of January 31, 2021. In connection with her retirement, Ms. Valko resigned from her positions as chief executive officer of the Company and a member of the Board of Directors, in each case, effective as of January 15, 2021. On April 19, 2021, the Company announced that David S. Charlton was named chief executive and was appointed to serve as the principal executive officer of the Company. In addition, Mr. Charlton was appointed to the board of directors of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Such leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage, and an inadequate transition may cause disruption to the Company and may also make it more difficult to hire and retain key employees. The Company is dependent on its senior executives and the loss of any of these executives or the Company’s inability to attract and retain other key personnel could adversely affect its business. The Company’s success depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified employees and upon the ability of senior management and other key employees to implement the Company’s business strategy. The Company believes there are a limited number of available, qualified executives in the business lines in which it competes. The success of the Company’s initiatives and future performance depend, in significant part, upon the continued service of the senior management team. The future loss of any of the services of members of the Company’s senior management team or the inability to attract and retain 33 other talented personnel could impede the further implementation of the Company’s business strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on its business. In addition, the Company does not currently maintain key man life insurance policies with respect to any of its employees. General Risk Factors If the Company is unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s business may be adversely affected, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the Company’s financial reports and the market price of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common stock could be adversely affected. The Company is required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that the Company evaluate and determine the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, provide a management report on internal control over financial reporting and requires that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting be attested to by its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company may discover material weaknesses in the future which may lead to its financial statements being materially misstated. As a result, the market price of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s common stock could be adversely affected, and Global Indemnity Group, LLC could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which its securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. The cost of remediating a potential material weakness could materially adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition. The Company’s operating results and shareholders’ equity may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Reinsurance Operations conducts business with some customers in foreign currencies and several of the Company’s U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries maintain cash accounts in foreign currencies. At period-end, the Company re-measures non-U.S. currency financial assets to their current U.S. dollar equivalent. The resulting gain or loss on foreign denominated cash accounts is reflected in income during the period. Financial liabilities, if any, are generally adjusted within the reserving process. However, for known losses on claims to be paid in foreign currencies, the Company re-measures the liabilities to their current U.S. dollar equivalent each period end with the resulting gain or loss reflected in income during the period. Foreign exchange risk is reviewed as part of the Company’s risk management process. The Company may experience losses resulting from fluctuations in the values of non- U.S. currencies relative to the strength of the U.S. dollar, which could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. Item 2. PROPERTIES At December 31, 2021, office space leased in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, holds the Commercial Specialty segment’s principal executive offices and headquarters. Office space leased in Scottsdale, Arizona is used to support some of the Company’s finance, information technology, claims, and regulatory operations. As part of the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products, K2 Insurance Services (“K2”) is subleasing approximately one third of the Scottsdale, Arizona office space. Currently, the Company intends to exercise the early termination clause in their Scottsdale, Arizona lease. If the Company exercises the early termination clause, it will receive $1.6 million in sublease payments from K2. If it does not exercise the early termination clause, it will receive $2.4 million in sublease payments from K2 between October 2021 and November 2029. See Note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the sublease of the office space in Scottsdale, Arizona. Office space leased in Nebraska is used by the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment. Office space leased in Cavan, Ireland is used to support the operating needs of the Insurance and Reinsurance Operations. The leases for the properties listed are held by various Company subsidiaries. The Company believes the properties listed are suitable and adequate to meet its needs. Additionally, a number of the Company’s personnel work remotely and almost all of the Company’s personnel have the ability to work remotely. Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company purchased insurance and reinsurance coverage for risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no 34 assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

See Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for dividends / distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company and has no direct operations. The ability of Global Indemnity to pay distributions is subject to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLCA”), and depends, in part, on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are subject to significant regulatory restrictions limiting their ability to declare and pay dividends. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Sources and Uses of Funds” in Item 7 of Part II of this report for dividend limitation and Note 21 of the notes to the consolidated financial statement in Item 8 of Part II of this report for the dividends declared and paid by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries in 2021.

Within each rating category, there are rating notches of plus or minus to show additional gradation of the ratings. On April 21, 2021, AM Best affirmed the financial strength rating of "A" (Excellent) for the U.S. operating subsidiaries of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. COVID-19 The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to present significant risks to the Company. The COVID-19 pandemic may affect the Company’s operations indefinitely. The Company may experience reductions in premium volume, delays in the collection of premiums, and increases in COVID-19 related claims. Any resulting volatility in the global financial markets may negatively impact the market value of the Company’s investment portfolio and may result in net realized investment losses as well as a decline in the liquidity of the investment portfolio. All of these factors may have far reaching impacts on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including without limitation impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, distribution, marketing, customers and agents, and on the overall economy. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic ends. Overview The Company operates and manages its business through four business segments: Commercial Specialty, Farm, Ranch & Stable, Reinsurance Operations, and Exited Lines. The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment sells its property and casualty insurance products through a group of approximately 200 professional general agencies that have limited quoting and binding authority, as well as a number of wholesale insurance brokers who in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. Commercial Specialty operates predominantly in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. The Company manages its Commercial Specialty segment via product classifications. These product classifications are: 1) Penn-America, which includes property and general liability products for small commercial businesses sold through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which includes property, general liability, and professional lines products sold through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3) Diamond State, which includes property, casualty, and professional lines products sold through wholesale brokers and program administrators with specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is sold through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents. The Company has also created three start-up business lines which will distributes professional, environmental, and excess casualty products. The Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment, primarily via American Reliable, provides specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry. These insurance products are sold through a group of approximately 225 agents, primarily comprised of wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority. The Company’s Reinsurance Operations provides reinsurance solutions through brokers. It uses its capital capacity to write niche and casualty-focused treaties and business which meet the Company’s risk tolerance and return thresholds. Prior to the redomestication, the Company’s Reinsurance Operations consisted solely of the operations of Global Indemnity Reinsurance. In connection with the redomestication, Global Indemnity Reinsurance merged into Penn-Patriot Insurance Company and all of its business was assumed by the Company’s existing insurance company subsidiaries. 39 The Company’s Exited Lines segment represents lines of business that are no longer being written or are in runoff. Exited Lines includes specialty personal lines property and casualty products such as manufactured home, dwelling, motorcycle, watercraft and certain homeowners business, certain business within Property Brokerage, and property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties. The Company derives its revenues primarily from premiums paid on insurance policies that it writes and from income generated by its investment portfolio, net of fees paid for investment management services. The amount of insurance premiums that the Company receives is a function of the amount and type of policies it writes, as well as prevailing market prices. Their insurance products were distributed through a group of approximately 225 wholesale general agents, wholesale insurance brokers, program administrators, and retail agents. The Company’s expenses include losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, corporate and other operating expenses, interest, investment expenses, and income taxes. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimated by management and reflect the Company’s best estimate of ultimate losses and costs arising during the reporting period and revisions of prior period estimates. The Company records its best estimate of losses and loss adjustment expenses considering both internal and external actuarial analyses of the estimated losses the Company expects to incur on the insurance policies it writes. The ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses will depend on the actual costs to resolve claims. Acquisition costs consist principally of commissions and premium taxes that are typically a percentage of the premiums on the insurance policies the Company writes, net of ceding commissions earned from reinsurers. Other underwriting expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and general operating expenses related to underwriting activities. Corporate and other operating expenses are comprised primarily of outside legal fees, other professional and accounting fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, and salaries and benefits for company personnel whose services relate to the support of corporate activities. Interest expense is primarily comprised of amounts due on outstanding debt. Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. See Note 4 of the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of Part II of this report. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that of the Company’s significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and estimation. Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Although variability is inherent in estimates, the Company believes that the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses reflects Management’s best estimate for future amounts needed to pay losses and related loss adjustment expenses and the impact of its reinsurance coverage with respect to insured events. In developing losses and loss adjustment expense ("loss" or "losses") reserve estimates, the Company’s actuaries perform detailed reserve analyses each quarter. To perform the analysis, the data is organized at a "reserve category" level. A reserve category can be a line of business such as commercial automobile liability, or it can be a particular type of claim such as construction defect. The reserves within a reserve category level are characterized as long-tail or short-tail. For long-tail business, it will generally be several years between the time the business is written and the time when all claims are settled. The Company’s long-tail exposures include general liability, professional liability, products liability, commercial automobile liability, and excess and umbrella. Short-tail exposures include property, commercial automobile physical damage, and equine mortality. The Company also reviews assumed reinsurance segments each quarter by treaty and treaty year which is comprised primarily of long-tailed business. To manage its insurance operations, the Company differentiates by product classifications, which are Penn-America, United National, Diamond State, American Reliable, and Vacant Express. For further discussion about the Company’s product classifications, see “General – Business Segments – Insurance Operations” in Item 1 of Part I of this report. Each of the Company’s product classifications contain both long-tail and short-tail exposures. Every reserve category is analyzed by the Company’s actuaries each quarter. Management is responsible for the final determination of loss reserve selections. In addition to the Company’s internal reserve analysis, independent external actuaries perform a full, detailed review of the reserves annually. The Company reviews both the internal and external actuarial analyses in determining its reserve position. 40 The actuarial methods used to project ultimate losses for both long-tail and short-tail reserve categories include, but are not limited to, the following: • • • • • Paid Development method; Incurred Development method; Expected Loss Ratio method; Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and paid loss; Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and incurred loss; and • Average Loss method. The Paid Development method estimates ultimate losses by reviewing paid loss patterns and applying them to accident years with further expected changes in paid loss. Selection of the paid loss pattern requires analysis of several factors including the impact of inflation on claims costs, the rate at which claims professionals make claim payments and close claims, the impact of judicial decisions, the impact of underwriting changes, the impact of large claim payments and other factors. Claim cost inflation requires evaluation of changes in the cost of repairing or replacing property, changes in the cost of medical care, changes in the cost of wage replacement, judicial decisions, legislative changes and other factors. Because this method assumes that losses are paid at a consistent rate, changes in any of these factors can impact the results. Since the method does not rely on case reserves, it is not directly influenced by changes in the adequacy of case reserves. For many reserve categories, paid loss data for recent periods may be too immature or erratic for reliable loss projections. This situation often exists for long-tail exposures. In addition, changes in the factors described above may result in inconsistent payment patterns. Finally, estimating the paid loss pattern subsequent to the most mature point available in the data analyzed often involves considerable uncertainty for long-tail reserve categories. The Incurred Development method is similar to the Paid Development method, but it uses case incurred losses instead of paid losses. Since this method uses more data (case reserves in addition to paid losses) than the Paid Development method, the incurred development patterns may be less variable than paid development patterns. However, selection of the incurred loss pattern requires analysis of all of the factors listed in the description of the Paid Development method. In addition, the inclusion of case reserves can lead to distortions if changes in case reserving practices have taken place and the use of case incurred losses may not eliminate the issues associated with estimating the incurred loss pattern subsequent to the most mature point available. The Expected Loss Ratio method multiplies premiums by an expected loss ratio to produce ultimate loss estimates for each accident year. This method may be useful if loss development patterns are inconsistent, losses emerge very slowly, or there is relatively little loss history from which to estimate future losses. The selection of the expected loss ratio requires analysis of loss ratios from earlier accident years or pricing studies and analysis of inflationary trends, frequency trends, rate changes, underwriting changes, and other applicable factors. The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and paid losses is a combination of the Paid Development method and the Expected Loss Ratio method. This method normally determines expected loss ratios similar to the method used for the Expected Loss Ratio method and requires analysis of the same factors described above. The method assumes that only future losses will develop at the expected loss ratio level. The percent of paid loss to ultimate loss implied from the Paid Development method is used to determine what percentage of ultimate loss is yet to be paid. The use of the pattern from the Paid Development method requires consideration of all factors listed in the description of the Paid Development method. The estimate of losses yet to be paid is added to current paid losses to estimate the ultimate loss for each accident year. This method will react very slowly if actual ultimate loss ratios are different from expectations due to changes not accounted for by the Expected Loss Ratio calculation. The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and incurred losses is similar to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and paid losses except that it uses case incurred losses. The use of case incurred losses instead of paid losses can result in development patterns that are less variable than paid development patterns. However, the inclusion of case reserves can lead to distortions if changes in case reserving practices have taken place. The method requires analysis of all the factors that need to be reviewed for the Expected Loss Ratio and Incurred Development methods. 41 The Average Loss method multiplies a projected number of ultimate incurred claims by an estimated ultimate average loss for each accident year to produce ultimate loss estimates. Since projections of the ultimate number of claims are often less variable than projections of ultimate loss, this method can provide more reliable results for reserve categories where loss development patterns are inconsistent or too variable to be relied on exclusively. In addition, this method can more directly account for changes in coverage that impact the number and size of claims. However, this method can be difficult to apply to situations where very large claims or a substantial number of unusual claims result in volatile average claim sizes. Projecting the ultimate number of claims requires analysis of several factors including the rate at which policyholders report claims to the Company, the impact of judicial decisions, the impact of underwriting changes and other factors. Estimating the ultimate average loss requires analysis of the impact of large losses and claim cost trends based on changes in the cost of repairing or replacing property, changes in the cost of medical care, changes in the cost of wage replacement, judicial decisions, legislative changes and other factors. For many reserve categories, especially those that can be considered long-tail, a particular accident year may not have a sufficient volume of paid losses to produce a statistically reliable estimate of ultimate losses. In such a case, the Company’s actuaries typically assign more weight to the Incurred Development method than to the Paid Development method. As claims continue to settle and the volume of paid losses increases, the actuaries may assign additional weight to the Paid Development method. For most of the Company’s reserve categories, even the case incurred losses for accident years that are early in the claim settlement process will not be of sufficient volume to produce a reliable estimate of ultimate losses. In these cases, the Company will not assign any weight to the Paid and Incurred Development methods and will use the Bornhuetter-Ferguson and Expected Loss Ratio methods. For short-tail exposures, the Paid and Incurred Development methods can often be relied on sooner primarily because the Company’s history includes a sufficient number of accident years to cover the entire period over which paid and incurred losses are expected to change. However, the Company may also assign weights to the Expected Loss Ratio, Bornhuetter-Ferguson and Average Loss methods for short-tail exposures when developing estimates of ultimate losses. Generally, reserves for long-tail lines give more weight to the Expected Loss Ratio method in the more recent immature years. As the accident years mature, weight shifts to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods and eventually to the Incurred and/or Paid Development method. Claims related to umbrella business are usually reported later than claims for other long-tail lines. For umbrella business, the shift from the Expected Loss Ratio method to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods to the Loss Development method may be more protracted than for most long-tailed lines. Reserves for short-tail lines tend to make the shift across methods more quickly than the long-tail lines. For other more complex reserve categories where the above methods may not produce reliable indications, the Company uses additional methods tailored to the characteristics of the specific situation. Such reserve categories include losses from construction defect and A&E claims. For construction defect losses, the Company’s actuaries organize losses by the year in which they were reported to develop an IBNR provision for development on known cases. To estimate losses from claims that have occurred but have not yet been reported to the Company (pure IBNR), various extrapolation techniques are applied to the pattern of claims that have been reported to estimate the number of claims yet to be reported. This process requires analysis of several factors including the rate at which policyholders report claims to the Company, the impact of judicial decisions, the impact of underwriting changes and other factors. An average claim size is determined from past experience and applied to the number of unreported claims to estimate reserves for these claims. Establishing reserves for A&E and other mass tort claims involves considerably more judgment than other types of claims due to, among other things, inconsistent court decisions, bankruptcy filings as a result of asbestos-related liabilities, and judicial interpretations that often expand theories of recovery and broaden the scope of coverage. The insurance industry continues to receive a substantial number of asbestos-related bodily injury claims, with an increasing focus being directed toward other parties, including installers of products containing asbestos rather than against asbestos manufacturers. This shift has resulted in significant insurance coverage litigation implicating applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any, including but not limited to, determinations as to whether or not an asbestos-related bodily injury claim is subject to aggregate limits of liability found in most comprehensive general liability policies. The Company continues to closely monitor its asbestos exposure and make adjustments where they are warranted. 42 Reserve analyses performed by the Company’s internal and external actuaries result in actuarial point estimates. The results of the detailed reserve reviews were summarized and discussed with the Company’s senior management to determine the best estimate of reserves. This group considered many factors in making this decision. The factors included, but were not limited to, the historical pattern and volatility of the actuarial indications, the sensitivity of the actuarial indications to changes in paid and incurred loss patterns, the consistency of claims handling processes, the consistency of case reserving practices, changes in the Company’s pricing and underwriting, and overall pricing and underwriting trends in the insurance market. Management’s best estimate at December 31, 2021 was recorded as the loss reserve. Management’s best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company’s actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company’s judgment. This resulted in carried gross and net reserves of $759.9 million and $665.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. A breakout of the Company’s gross and net reserves as of December 31, 2021 is as follows: (Dollars in thousands) Commercial Specialty ................................. $ Farm, Ranch & Stable .................................

(2) Does not include reinsurance receivables on paid losses. The Company continually reviews these estimates and, based on new developments and information, includes adjustments of the estimated ultimate liability in the operating results for the periods in which the adjustments are made. The establishment of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves makes no provision for the possible broadening of coverage by legislative action or judicial interpretation, or the emergence of new types of losses not sufficiently represented in the Company’s historical experience or that cannot yet be quantified or estimated. The Company regularly analyzes its reserves and reviews reserving methodologies so that future adjustments to prior accident year reserves can be minimized. However, given the complexity of this process, reserves require continual updates and the ultimate liability may be higher or lower than previously indicated. Changes in estimates for losses and loss adjustment expense reserves are recorded in the period that the change in these estimates is made. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for details concerning the changes in the estimate for incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses related to prior accident years. The detailed reserve analyses that the Company’s internal and external actuaries complete use a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods and techniques to produce a number of estimates of ultimate loss. The Company determines its best estimate of ultimate loss by reviewing the various estimates provided by its actuaries and other relevant information. The reserve estimate is the difference between the estimated ultimate loss and the losses paid to date. The difference between the estimated ultimate loss and the case incurred loss (paid loss plus case reserve) is considered to be IBNR. IBNR calculated as such includes a provision for development on known cases (supplemental development) as well as a provision for claims that have occurred but have not yet been reported to the Company (pure IBNR). In light of the many uncertainties associated with establishing the estimates and making the assumptions necessary to establish reserve levels, the Company reviews its reserve estimates on a regular basis and makes adjustments in the period that the need for such adjustments is determined. 43 The key assumptions fundamental to the reserving process are often different for various reserve categories and accident years. Some of these assumptions are explicit assumptions that are required of a particular method, but most of the assumptions are implicit and cannot be precisely quantified. An example of an explicit assumption is the pattern employed in the Paid Development method. However, the assumed pattern is itself based on several implicit assumptions such as the impact of inflation on medical costs and the rate at which claim professionals close claims. Loss frequency is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity is a measure of the average size of claims. Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. Previous reserve analyses have resulted in the Company’s identification of information and trends that have caused it to increase or decrease frequency and severity assumptions in prior periods and could lead to the identification of a need for additional material changes in losses and loss adjustment expense reserves, which could materially affect results of operations, equity, business and insurer financial strength and debt ratings. Factors affecting loss frequency include, among other things, the effectiveness of loss controls and safety programs and changes in economic activity or weather patterns. Factors affecting loss severity include, among other things, changes in policy limits and deductibles, rate of inflation and judicial interpretations. Another factor affecting estimates of loss frequency and severity is the loss reporting lag, which is the period of time between the occurrence of a loss and the date the loss is reported to the Company. The length of the loss reporting lag affects the Company’s ability to accurately predict loss frequency (loss frequencies are more predictable for short-tail lines) as well as the amount of reserves needed for IBNR. If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $376.3 million for claims occurring during the year ended December 31, 2021: (Dollars in thousands) Frequency Change..................... $ -5% $ -3% -2% -1% 0% 1% 2% 3% 5% -10% (54,564) (47,790) (44,403) (41,017) (37,630) (34,243) (30,857) (27,470) (20,697) Severity Change $ -5% (36,689) (29,540) (25,965) (22,390) (18,815) (15,240) (11,665) (8,090) (941) 0% (18,815) (11,289) (7,526) (3,763) — 3,763 7,526 11,289 18,815 $ 5% (941) 6,962 10,913 14,864 18,815 22,766 26,717 30,668 38,571 $ 10% 16,934 25,212 29,351 33,491 37,630 41,769 45,909 50,048 58,327 The Company’s net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $665.5 million as of December 31, 2021 relate to multiple accident years. Therefore, the impact of changes in frequency and severity for more than one accident year could be higher or lower than the amounts reflected above. Recoverability of Reinsurance Receivables The Company regularly reviews the collectability of its reinsurance receivables, and includes adjustments resulting from this review in earnings in the period in which the adjustment arises. An allowance for expected credit losses for reinsurance receivables is recognized based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, disputes, applicable coverage defenses, insolvent reinsurers, financial strength of solvent reinsurers based on AM Best Ratings and other relevant factors. Changes in loss reserves can also affect the valuation of reinsurance receivables if the change is related to loss reserves that are ceded to reinsurers. Certain amounts may be uncollectible if the Company’s reinsurers dispute a loss or if the reinsurer is unable to pay. If its reinsurers do not pay, the Company remains legally obligated to pay the loss. See Note 10 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further information surrounding the Company’s reinsurance receivable balances and collectability as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. For a listing of the ten reinsurers for which the Company has the largest reinsurance asset amounts as of December 31, 2021, see “Reinsurance of Underwriting Risk” in Item 1 of Part I of this report. 44 Investments The carrying amount of the Company’s investments approximates their fair value. The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to investments, including reviewing each fixed maturity security in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, such as changes in interest rates. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses or the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes. During its review, the Company considers credit rating, market price, and issuer specific financial information, among other factors, to assess the likelihood of collection of all principal and interest as contractually due. See Note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for the specific methodologies and significant assumptions used by asset class as well as an analysis of the Company’s securities with gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Fair Value Measurements The Company categorizes its invested assets and derivative instruments that are accounted for at fair value in the consolidated statements into a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy is directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of these assets. The reported value of financial instruments not carried at fair value, principally cash and cash equivalents and margin borrowing facility, approximate fair value. See Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further information about the fair value hierarchy and the Company’s assets that are accounted for at fair value. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at least annually and more frequently as circumstances warrant in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accounting guidance allows for the testing of goodwill for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Impairment of goodwill is recognized only if the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The amount of the impairment loss would be equal to the excess carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is tested at least annually and more frequently as circumstances warrant in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accounting guidance allows for the testing of intangible assets for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeds the fair value of said assets. The amount of the impairment loss would be equal to the excess carrying value of the assets over the fair value of said assets. Intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amounts of definite lived intangible assets are regularly reviewed for indicators of impairment in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is in excess of its undiscounted projected cash flows. The impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. See Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for more details concerning the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets as well as the result of its impairment testing. Deferred Acquisition Costs The costs of acquiring new and renewal insurance and reinsurance contracts primarily include commissions, premium taxes and certain other costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal insurance and reinsurance contracts. The excess of the Company’s costs of acquiring new and renewal insurance and reinsurance contracts over the related ceding commissions earned from reinsurers is capitalized as deferred acquisition costs and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. 45 In accordance with accounting guidance for insurance enterprises, the method followed in computing such amounts limits them to amounts recoverable from premium to be earned, related investment income, losses and loss adjustment expenses, and certain other costs expected to be incurred as the premium is earned. A premium deficiency is recognized if the sum of expected losses and loss adjustment expenses and unamortized acquisition costs exceeds related unearned premium. This evaluation is done at a distribution and product line level for Insurance Operations and Exited Lines and at a treaty level for Reinsurance Operations. Any future expected loss on the related unearned premium is recorded first by impairing the unamortized acquisition costs on the related unearned premium followed by an increase to losses and loss adjustment expense reserves on additional expected loss in excess of unamortized acquisition costs. The Company calculates deferred acquisition costs for Insurance Operations and Exited Lines separately by distribution lines and for its Reinsurance Operations separately for each treaty. Taxation The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily result from temporary differences between the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management assesses the need to establish a valuation allowance that reduces deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance would be based on all available information including the Company’s assessment of uncertain tax positions and projections of future taxable income from each tax-paying component in each jurisdiction, principally derived from business plans and available tax planning strategies. There are no valuation allowances as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The deferred tax asset balance is analyzed regularly by management. This assessment requires significant judgment and considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies and/or actions. Based on these analyses, the Company has determined that its deferred tax asset is recoverable. Projections of future taxable income incorporate several assumptions of future business and operations that are apt to differ from actual experience. If, in the future, the Company’s assumptions and estimates that resulted in the forecast of future taxable income for each tax-paying component prove to be incorrect, a valuation allowance may be required. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. The Company applies a more likely than not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties, only allowing the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities. Please see Note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for a discussion of the Company’s tax uncertainties. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are included on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The ROU asset is calculated using the initial lease liability amount, plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred. Lease expenses for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements may contain both lease and non-lease components which are accounted separately. The Company elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from non-lease components for its equipment leases. Rental income derived from subleases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the operating lease term. 46 Business Segments The Company manages its business through four business segments: Commercial Specialty, Farm, Ranch & Stable, Reinsurance Operations, and Exited Lines. The Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable segments comprise the Company’s Insurance Operations, which currently includes the operations of United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, American Reliable Insurance Company, American Insurance Adjustment Agency, Inc., Collectibles Insurance Services, LLC, Global Indemnity Insurance Agency, LLC, and J.H. Ferguson & Associates, LLC. Prior to the redomestication, the Company’s Reinsurance Operations consisted solely of the operations of Global Indemnity Reinsurance. In connection with the redomestication, Global Indemnity Reinsurance merged into Penn-Patriot Insurance Company and all of its business was assumed by the Company’s existing insurance company subsidiaries. In addition, the Company’s Exited Lines segment represents lines of business which the Company has decided to exit. The Company evaluates the performance of these four segments based on gross and net written premiums, revenues in the form of net earned premiums, and expenses in the form of (1) net losses and loss adjustment expenses, (2) acquisition costs, and (3) other underwriting expenses. On October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products which was part of the Specialty Property segment. The Company previously decided to cease writing certain Property Brokerage business which was part of the Commercial Specialty segment, as well as exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. Based on the decisions to exit these lines of business, the Company changed the way it manages and analyzes its operating results. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive as well as the Chief Operating Officer, decided they will be reviewing the specific results of the Exited Lines separately. The chief operating decision makers also determined that the small amount of specialty property business that remained from the Specialty Property segment would be included as programs in the Commercial Specialty segment for purpose of reviewing results and allocating resources. The Reinsurance Operations segment will continue to write casualty and professional treaties as well as individual excess policies. The Farm, Ranch & Stable segment was not impacted by these decisions and will continue to be reported as a segment. Accordingly, the Company will have four reportable segments: Commercial Specialty, Reinsurance Operations, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Exited Lines. Management believes these segments will allow users of the Company’s financial statements to better understand the Company's performance, better assess prospects for future net cash flows and to make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. The segment results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been revised to reflect these changes. See “Business Segments” in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a description of the Company’s segments. 47 The following table summarizes the Company’s results for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: Results of Operations (Dollars in thousands) Gross written premiums ............................... $ 682,122 Net written premiums................................... $ 580,068 2021 2020 $ 606,603 $ 548,167 Years Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, % Change 2020 12.4% $ 606,603 5.8% $ 548,167 2019 $ 636,861 $ 562,089 Net earned premiums ................................... $ 595,610 1,815 Other income ................................................ 597,425 Total revenues......................................... $ 567,699 2,038 569,737 4.9% $ 567,699 2,038 569,737 (10.9%) 4.9% $ 525,262 1,816 527,078 Losses and expenses: % Change (4.8%) (2.5%) 8.1% 12.2% 8.1% 384,964 336,201 14.5% 336,201 275,402 22.1% Net losses and loss adjustment expenses ..................................................

(2) Net written premiums equal gross written premiums less ceded premiums written. (3) External business only, excluding business assumed from affiliates. Gross written premiums increased by 12.4% for year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 2020. The increase in gross written premiums is mainly due to the continued growth of existing programs, increased pricing, and several new programs within Commercial Specialty as well as the organic growth of an existing casualty treaty and the assumption of three new smaller casualty treaties within Reinsurance Operations. This growth in premiums was partially offset by the reduction of premiums within Exited Lines due to reducing catastrophe exposed business, reduction in business not providing an adequate return on capital, and the non-renewal of the Company’s property catastrophe treaties as well as the reduction of catastrophe exposed business within Farm, Ranch & Stable. 51 Gross written premiums decreased by 4.8% for year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019. The decrease is mainly due to the reduction of premiums within Exited Lines due to reducing catastrophe exposed business, reduction in business not providing an adequate return on capital, and the non-renewal of the Company’s property catastrophe treaties. In addition, non-renewals of several small business classes were higher and new business growth slowed within Commercial Specialty which was likely the result of Covid-19 as well as the reduction of catastrophe exposed business within Farm, Ranch & Stable. These reductions in premiums were partially offset by organic growth from existing agents, increased pricing, and several new programs within Commercial Specialty and growth of the new casualty treaty entered into by Reinsurance Operations in 2019. Net Retention The ratio of net written premiums to gross written premiums is referred to as the Company’s net premium retention. The Company’s net premium retention is summarized by segments as follows: (Dollars in thousands) Commercial Specialty ............. Farm, Ranch & Stable ............. Reinsurance ............................. Continuing Lines ............... Exited Lines ............................ Total................................... Years Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Change 2020 2019 Change 93.3% 86.2% 100.0% 93.6% 42.2% 85.0% 92.7% 86.6% 100.0% 92.5% 83.5% 90.4% 0.6 (0.4) — 1.1 (41.3) (5.3) 92.7% 86.6% 100.0% 92.5% 83.5% 90.4% 91.6% 84.8% 100.0% 90.9% 83.2% 88.3% 1.1 1.8 — 1.6 0.3 2.1 The net premium retention for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by 5.3 points as compared to 2020. This decrease is primarily due to ceding the majority of its unearned premium reserves related to manufactured home and dwelling products on November 30, 2021. The net premium retention for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by 2.1 points as compared to 2019. This increase in retention is driven by the restructuring of the Company’s catastrophe reinsurance treaties as well as a change in the mix of business. Net Earned Premiums Net earned premiums within the Commercial Specialty segment increased by 16.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.

The Company believes the non-GAAP measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends in the Company's Commercial Specialty segment may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. These non-GAAP measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company. 2021 Losses Loss Ratio Years Ended December 31, 2020 Losses Loss Ratio 2019 Losses Loss Ratio Property Non catastrophe property losses and ratio excluding the effect of prior accident year (1) ............................................................... $ 70,589 Effect of prior accident year............................. 4,519 Non catastrophe property losses and ratio (2) .... $ 75,108 Catastrophe losses and ratio excluding the effect of prior accident year (1) ......................... $ 22,199 Effect of prior accident year............................. 863 Catastrophe losses and ratio (2) ......................... $ 23,062 Total property losses and ratio excluding the effect of prior accident year (1) ......................... $ 92,788 Effect of prior accident year............................. 5,382 Total property losses and ratio (2) ..................... $ 98,170 Casualty Total Casualty losses and ratio excluding the effect of prior accident year (1) ......................... $ 115,080 Effect of prior accident year.............................

The current accident year property non-catastrophe loss ratio for 2020 increased by 3.5 points compared to 2019. The increase in the loss ratio primarily reflects a higher claims severity as the claims incurred frequency was up slightly at twelve months of development from last year. The current accident year property catastrophe loss ratio for 2021 improved by 6.6 points compared to 2020 due to lower claims frequency. The current accident year property catastrophe loss ratio for 2020 increased by 13.3 points compared to 2019 due to a higher claims frequency and severity. The current accident year casualty loss ratio for 2021 increased by 4.6 points compared to 2020 due to higher claims frequency. The current accident year casualty loss ratio for 2020 improved by 0.3 points compared to 2019 reflecting a lower claims frequency at twelve months of development. The calendar year loss ratio for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 includes an increase of $5.1 million, or 1.5%, a decrease of $23.6 million or 8.1%, and a decrease of $23.3 million or 9.4%, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development. Expense Ratios The expense ratio improved 0.5 points from 36.8% for 2020 to 36.3% for 2021 primarily due to higher earned premiums. The expense ratio improved 4.0 points from 40.8% for 2019 to 36.8% for 2020 primarily due to higher earned premiums. COVID-19 COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Commercial Specialty’s business, financial condition, and results of operation. There is risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage. 55 Farm, Ranch & Stable The components of income from the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment and corresponding underwriting ratios are as follows: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in thousands) Gross written premiums ......................................... $ 81,728 $ 85,646 Net written premiums............................................. $ 70,472 $ 74,163 Net earned premiums ............................................. $ 71,899 $ 76,166 142 Other income .......................................................... 76,308 Total revenues................................................... 155 72,054 2020 2021 % Change Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 % Change (4.6%) $ 85,646 $ 87,745 (5.0%) $ 74,163 $ 74,416 (5.6%) $ 76,166 $ 71,312 132 142 9.2% 71,444 76,308 (5.6%) (2.4%) (0.3%) 6.8% 7.6% 6.8% Losses and expenses: Net losses and loss adjustment expenses ..........

The current accident year property non-catastrophe loss ratio for 2020 improved by 17.7 points compared to 2019 reflecting a lower claims frequency and severity. The current accident year property catastrophe loss ratio for 2021 improved by 12.2 points compared to 2020 reflecting lower claims frequency and severity in the current calendar year. The current accident year property catastrophe loss ratio for 2020 increased by 13.0 points compared to 2019 reflecting a higher claims frequency and severity at twelve months of development. The impact from the Midwest derecho on the loss ratio was 7.3 points which was the largest event impacting this segment during 2020. The current accident year casualty loss ratio for 2021 increased by 1.4 points compared to 2020 reflecting slightly higher claims frequency and severity. The current accident year casualty loss ratio for 2020 increased by 1.0 points compared to 2019. The increase in the loss ratio reflects a higher claims severity compared to last year. The calendar year loss ratio for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 includes a decrease of $1.3 million, or 1.8%, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 3.0%, and a decrease of $5.5 million, or 7.8%, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development. Expense Ratios The expense ratio increased 0.8 points from 39.1% for 2020 to 39.9% for 2021. The increase in the expense ratio is primarily due to a reduction in earned premiums partially offset by a reduction in the commission rate partially driven by a change in agent distribution. The expense ratio improved 2.3 points from 41.4% for 2019 to 39.1% for 2020 primarily due to higher earned premiums. COVID-19 There is risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage. 58 COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Farm, Ranch & Stable’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Other Income (Loss) Reinsurance Operations recognized other loss of $0.1 million in 2021, other income of $0.2 million in 2020, and other loss of $0.1 million in 2019. Other income (loss) is comprised of foreign exchange gains and losses. 59 Loss Ratio The current accident year loss ratio for 2021 improved by 1.9 points compared to 2020 reflecting a mix of business change and growth in a treaty that has a lower expected loss ratio. The current accident year loss ratio for 2020 improved by 5.6 points compared to 2019. The mix of business change in the casualty treaties and growth in a treaty with a lower expected loss ratio led to an improved loss ratio. The calendar year loss ratio for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 includes a decrease of $1.1 million, or 1.4%, a decrease of $1.7 million or 3.6%, and a decrease of $2.8 million or 14.7%, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development. Expense Ratio The expense ratio improved 0.2 points from 35.0% for 2020 to 34.8% for 2021. The expense ratio increased 8.5 points from 26.5% for 2019 to 35.0% for 2020. The increase in the expense ratio is primarily due to an increase in commission expense. COVID-19 COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect the Reinsurance Operations’ business, financial condition, and results of operation.

The current accident year property non-catastrophe loss ratio for 2020 improved by 2.8 points compared to 2019. The improvement in the loss ratio primarily recognizes a lower claims frequency and severity compared to last year in the specialty property business, partially offset by higher loss ratios in the reinsurance property treaties. The current accident year property catastrophe loss ratio for 2021 improved by 10.0 points compared to 2020 reflecting lower claims frequency and severity in the specialty property reserve segments and an improvement in the property catastrophe reinsurance treaties loss ratios. The current accident year property catastrophe loss ratio for 2020 increased by 15.0 points compared to 2019 recognizing higher claims frequency and severity at twelve months of development in the specialty property reserve segments. This increase was partially offset by the Company’s property reinsurance treaties having a better loss ratio than in 2019. The current accident year casualty loss ratio for 2021 increased by 14.1 points compared to 2020 due to higher claims severity. The current accident year casualty loss ratio for 2020 improved by 10.9 points compared to 2019. The improvement reflects a lower claims frequency and severity compared to last year. The calendar year loss ratio for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 includes an increase of $6.0 million, or 5.7%, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 2.6%, and a decrease of $1.2 million, or 0.6%, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development. Expense Ratios The expense ratio increased 0.7 points from 40.5% for 2020 to 41.2% for 2021. The increase in the expense ratio is primarily due to a reduction in earned premiums partially offset by a reduction in commission expense. The expense ratio increased 1.7 points from 38.8% for 2019 to 40.5% for 2020 primarily due to a reduction in net earned premiums partially offset by a reduction in commission expense. 62 COVID-19 COVID-19 could result in declines in business and non-payment of premiums that could adversely affect Exited Lines’ business, financial condition, and results of operation. Unallocated Corporate Items The Company’s fixed income portfolio, excluding cash, continues to maintain high quality with an A average rating and a duration of 3.0 years.

The increase was primarily due to increased returns from alternative investments offset by a decrease in yield within the fixed maturities portfolio. Gross investment income for 2020 decreased by 30.4% and net investment income for 2020 decreased by 32.5% compared to 2019. The decrease was primarily due to decreased returns from alternative investments, a decrease in yield within the fixed maturities portfolio, and a decrease in dividend income related to equity securities. At December 31, 2021, the Company held agency mortgage-backed securities with a market value of $148.6 million. Excluding the agency mortgage-backed securities, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 3.3 years as of December 31, 2021, compared with 4.8 years as of December 31, 2020. Including cash and short-term investments, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio, excluding agency mortgage-backed securities, was 3.1 years as of December 31, 2021, compared to 4.4 years as of December 31, 2020. Changes in interest rates can cause principal payments on certain investments to extend or shorten which can impact duration. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s embedded book yield on its fixed maturities, not including cash, was 2.2% compared with 2.3% at December 31, 2020. The embedded book yield on the $54.6 million of taxable municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio was 2.8% at December 31, 2021, compared to an embedded book yield of 3.0% on the Company’s taxable municipal bonds of $61.2 million at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the Company held agency mortgage-backed securities with a market value of $250.6 million. Excluding the agency mortgage-backed securities, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 4.8 years as of December 31, 2020, compared with 4.4 years as of December 31, 2019. Including cash and short-term investments, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio, excluding agency mortgage-backed securities, was 4.4 years as of December 31, 2020, compared to 4.2 years as of December 31, 2019. Changes in interest rates can cause principal payments on certain investments to extend or shorten which can impact duration. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s embedded book yield on its fixed maturities, not including cash, was 2.3% compared with 3.0% at December 31, 2019.

Derivatives ........................................................... Other-than-temporary impairment losses............. Net realized investment gains (losses)............ $ Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2021 13,440 342 2,105 — 15,887 $ $ (15,250) $ 23,604 (22,256) (760) (14,662) $ 33,993 7,956 (4,710) (1,897) 35,342 See Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for an analysis of total investment return on a pre-tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Corporate and Other Operating Expenses Corporate and other operating expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, salaries and benefits for holding company personnel, development costs for new products, and taxes incurred which are not directly related to operations. Corporate and other operating expenses were $27.2 million, $42.0 million, and $18.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Corporate expenses in 2020 were higher primarily due to incurring $10.0 million advisory fees and additional legal and professional fees related to the redomestication. Corporate expenses in 2021 included $4.8 million in asset impairments of goodwill and intangibles, lease right of use assets, and software related to the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products in 2021. See Note 3 and Note 16 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products and the redomestication fee, respectively. Interest Expense Interest expense was $10.5 million, $15.8 million, and $20.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The reduction in 2021 and 2020 as compared to 2019 is primarily due to the redemption of the Company’s 7.75% Subordinated Notes due in 2045 and the repayment of the margin borrowing facility in August, 2020. See Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for details on the Company’s debt. Income Tax Benefit/ Expense The income tax expense was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with income tax benefit of $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The difference between 2021 and 2020 is due to the increase in net income at Global Indemnity Group, LLC which is treated as a partnership for tax. The income tax benefit was $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with income tax expense of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to higher pre-tax loss for the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries for 2020 as compared to 2019 and the change in tax status which is the income tax benefit recognized on net insurance liabilities that were redomiciled from Bermuda at 0% tax rate to the United States at a 21% tax rate. See Note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for a comparison of income tax between periods. Net Income (Loss) The factors described above resulted in a net income of $29.4 million, net loss of $21.0 million, and a net income of $70.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. 64 Sources and Uses of Funds Liquidity and Capital Resources Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company. Its principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s short-term and long-term liquidity needs include but are not limited to the payment of corporate expenses, debt service payments, distribution payments to shareholders, and share repurchases. The Company also has commitments in the form of operating leases, commitments to fund limited liability investments, subordinated notes, and unpaid losses and loss expense obligations. See the contractual obligation table below for additional information on these commitments. In order to meet their short-term and long-term needs, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s principal sources of cash includes investment income, dividends from subsidiaries, other permitted disbursements from its direct and indirect subsidiaries, reimbursement for equity awards granted to employees and intercompany borrowings. The principal sources of funds at these direct and indirect subsidiaries include underwriting operations, investment income, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments, capital contributions, intercompany borrowings, and dividends from subsidiaries. Funds are used principally by these operating subsidiaries to pay claims and operating expenses, to make debt payments, fund margin requirements on interest rate swap agreements, to purchase investments, and to make distribution payments. In addition, the Company periodically reviews opportunities related to business acquisitions and as a result, liquidity may be needed in the future. GBLI Holdings, LLC is a holding company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn-Patriot Insurance Company. GBLI Holdings, LLC’s principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries which include United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company. GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its debt obligations as well as corporate expense obligations. The future liquidity of both Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC’s insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval of regulatory authorities. The dividend limitations imposed by state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each insurance company that are determined by using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. See “Regulation—Statutory Accounting Principles.” Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes. Under Virginia law, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company may not pay any dividend or make any distribution of cash or other property, the fair market value of which, together with that of any other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 consecutive months exceeds the lesser of either (1) 10% of its surplus as of the 31st day of December of the last preceding year, or (2) its net income, not including net realized capital gains, for the 12 month period ending on the 31st day of December of the last preceding year, not including pro rata distributions of any class of its securities, unless the commissioner approves the proposed payment or fails to disapprove such payment within 30 days after receiving notice of such payment. In determining whether the dividend must be approved, undistributed net income from the second and third preceding years, not including net realized capital gains, may be carried forward. Under Pennsylvania law, United National Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, and Penn-Star Insurance Company may not pay any dividend or make any distribution that, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 consecutive months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of its surplus as shown on its last annual statement on file with the commissioner or (2) its net income for the period covered by such statement, not including pro rata distributions of any class of its own securities, unless the commissioner has received notice from the insurer of the declaration of the dividend and the commissioner approves the proposed payment or fails to disapprove such payment within 30 days after receiving notice of such payment. An additional limitation is that Pennsylvania does not permit a domestic insurer to declare or pay a dividend except out of unassigned funds (surplus) unless otherwise approved by the commissioner before the dividend is paid. Furthermore, no dividend or other distribution may be declared or paid by a Pennsylvania insurance company that would reduce its total capital and surplus to an amount that is less than the amount required by the Insurance Department for the kind or kinds of business that it is authorized to transact. Pennsylvania law allows loans to affiliates up to 10% of statutory surplus without prior regulatory approval. 65 Under Indiana law, Diamond State Insurance Company may not pay any dividend or make any distribution of cash or other property, the fair market value of which, together with that of any other dividends or distributions made within the 12 consecutive months ending on the date on which the proposed dividend or distribution is scheduled to be made, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of its surplus as of the 31st day of December of the last preceding year, or (2) its net income for the 12 month period ending on the 31st day of December of the last preceding year, unless the commissioner approves the proposed payment or fails to disapprove such payment within 30 days after receiving notice of such payment. An additional limitation is that Indiana does not permit a domestic insurer to declare or pay a dividend except out of unassigned surplus unless otherwise approved by the commissioner before the dividend is paid. Under Arizona law, American Reliable Insurance Company may not pay any dividend or make any distribution of cash or other property, the fair market value of which, together with that of any other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 months exceeds the lesser of either (1) 10% of its surplus as of the 31st day of December of the last preceding year, or (2) its net income for the 12 month period ending on the 31st day of December of the last preceding year, not including pro rata distributions of any class of its securities, unless the commissioner approves the proposed payment or fails to disapprove such payment within 30 days after receiving notice of such payment. In 2021, the U.S. insurance companies did not declare or pay a dividend. See Note 21 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for the maximum amount of distributions that U.S. insurance companies could pay as dividends in 2022. Surplus Levels Global Indemnity’s insurance companies are required by law to maintain a certain minimum level of policyholders’ surplus on a statutory basis. Policyholders’ surplus is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets. The NAIC has risk- based capital standards that are designed to identify property and casualty insurers that may be inadequately capitalized based on the inherent risks of each insurer’s assets and liabilities and mix of net written premiums. Insurers falling below a calculated threshold may be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action. Based on the standards currently adopted, the policyholders’ surplus of each of the insurance companies is in excess of the prescribed minimum company action level risk- based capital requirements. Sources of operating funds consist primarily of net written premiums and investment income. Funds are used primarily to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments. As a result of the dividend / distribution policy, funds may also be used in the future to pay distributions to shareholders of the Company. The Company’s reconciliation of net income (loss) to net cash provided by operations is generally influenced by the following: • • • the fact that the Company collects premiums, net of commission, in advance of losses paid; the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and the timing of the Company’s loss payments. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $90.8 million, $32.7 million and $32.4 million, respectively. In 2021, the increase in operating cash flows of approximately $58.1 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items: Net premiums collected .......................................................... $ Net losses paid ........................................................................ Underwriting and corporate expenses .................................... Net investment income ........................................................... Net federal income taxes recovered (paid) ............................. Interest paid ............................................................................ Net cash provided by operating activities ......................... $ 2021 599,870 (299,027) (241,017) 41,367 (54) (10,340) 90,799 $ $ 2020 552,692 (308,341) (241,906) 36,002 10,825 (16,602) 32,670 $ $ Change 47,178 9,314 889 5,365 (10,879) 6,262 58,129 66 In 2020, the increase in operating cash flows of approximately $0.3 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items: Net premiums collected .......................................................... $ Net losses paid ........................................................................ Underwriting and corporate expenses .................................... Net investment income ........................................................... Net federal income taxes recovered (paid) ............................. Interest paid ............................................................................ Net cash provided by operating activities ......................... $ 2020 552,692 (308,341) (241,906) 36,002 10,825 (16,602) 32,670 $ $ 2019 531,637 (298,788) (229,645) 48,964 (81) (19,711) 32,376 $ $ Change 21,055 (9,553) (12,261) (12,962) 10,906 3,109 294 See the consolidated statements of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for details concerning the Company’s investing and financing activities. Liquidity Currently, the Company believes each of its insurance companies maintains sufficient liquidity to pay claims through cash generated by operations and liquid investments. The holding companies also maintain sufficient liquidity to meet their obligations. The Company monitors its investment portfolios to assure liability and investment durations are closely matched. Prospectively, as fixed income investments mature and new cash is obtained, the cash available to invest will be invested in accordance with the Company’s investment policy. The Company’s investment policy allows the Company to invest in taxable and tax-exempt fixed income investments as well as publicly traded and private equity investments. With respect to bonds, the Company’s credit exposure limit for each issuer varies with the issuer’s credit quality. The allocation between taxable and tax-exempt bonds is determined based on market conditions and tax considerations. The fixed income portfolio currently has a duration of 3.0 years. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also had future funding commitments of $31.2 million related to investments that are currently in their harvest period and it is unlikely that a capital call will be made. The Company has access to various capital sources including dividends from insurance subsidiaries, invested assets in its non-U.S. subsidiaries, and access to the debt and equity capital markets. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its capital needs. See Note 21 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for a discussion of the Company’s dividend capacity. However, the Company’s future capital requirements depend on many factors, including the amount of premium it writes, the amount of loss reserves by lines of business, and catastrophe exposure. To the extent that the Company needs to raise additional funds, any equity or debt financing for this purpose, if available at all, may be on terms that are not favorable to the Company. If the Company cannot obtain adequate capital, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. COVID-19 The Company’s liquidity could be negatively impacted by the cancellation, delays, or non-payment of premiums related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting impacts. There is continued risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage which would negatively impact liquidity. In addition, the liquidity of the Company’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by disruption experienced in global financial markets. Management is taking actions it considers prudent to minimize the impact on the Company’s liquidity. However, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, magnitude and geographic reach of COVID-19, the Company is regularly evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on its liquidity. Distributions Global Indemnity has adopted a distribution program. Although subject to the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors and factors, conditions, and prospects as such may exist from time to time when the Board of Directors considers the advisability of declaring a quarterly distribution, Global Indemnity Group, LLC currently anticipates a distribution rate of $0.25 per share per quarter ($1.00 per share per year). As of December 31, 2021, there are currently 14,504,299 shares outstanding. 67 During 2021, the Board of Directors approved a distribution payment of $0.25 per common share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 22, 2021, June 21, 2021, September 23, 2021, and December 20, 2021. Distributions paid to common shareholders were $14.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, distributions of $0.4 million were paid to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s preferred shareholder during the year ended December 31, 2021. During 2020, the Board of Directors approved a dividend payment of $0.25 per common share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 24, 2020 and June 23, 2020 and approved a distribution payment of $0.25 per common share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on September 25, 2020 and December 24, 2020. Dividends / distributions paid to common shareholders were $14.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, distributions of $0.1 million were paid to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s preferred shareholder during the year ended December 31, 2020. During 2019, the Board of Directors approved a dividend payment of $0.25 per common share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 22, 2019, June 21, 2019, September 26, 2019, and December 24, 2019. Dividends paid to common shareholders were $14.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. Sale of Renewal Rights Related to Manufactured & Dwelling Homes Products On October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products to K2 Insurance Services (“K2”) and American Family Mutual Insurance Company (“American Family”). Pursuant to the tripartite transaction, the Company received $28.0 million in cash in October 2021. The Company will also retain the American Reliable 50-state licensed operating unit, $65 million of net capital supporting the business, and a related $42 million unearned premium reserve. The Company currently leases office space in Scottsdale, Arizona. As part of this sale, K2 is subleasing approximately one third of the Scottsdale, Arizona office space. Currently, the Company intends to exercise the early termination clause in their Scottsdale, Arizona lease. If the Company exercises the early termination clause, it will receive $1.6 million in sublease payments from K2. If it does not exercise the early termination clause, it will receive $2.4 million in sublease payments from K2 between October 2021 and November 2029. To facilitate the transaction, American Reliable retained the specialty residential property business in Florida and Louisiana and also retained business that was previously placed in runoff. American Reliable plans to cease writing manufactured home and dwelling insurance in Florida and Louisiana as soon as possible. American Family is assuming 100% of the risks for all policies covered under the renewal rights agreement which are written or renewed after October 26, 2021, except for policies covering properties in the state of Florida and Louisiana In addition, effective November 30, 2021, the Company and American Family reached an agreement where American Family agreed to reinsure 100% of the Company’s unearned premium reserves of the same types as the policies comprising the manufactured and dwelling homes business lines noted above that were in force as of November 30, 2021. The approximate amount of the unearned premium reserves at November 30, 2021 was $33.8 million. The Company will receive a forty percent (40%) ceding commission which includes a provision for a four percent (4%) claims administration fee to be paid by the Company directly to K2 Claims. Redemption of Debt On March 10, 2022, the Company notified the Trustee of the 2047 Notes that it has elected to redeem the entire $130 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2047 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2047 Notes redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date of April 15, 2022. GBLI anticipates that funds to redeem the debt will be obtained through the sale of the Company’s equity portfolio in the amount of $76 million, $10 million in dividends from United National and Penn-America, $10 to $15 million from its subsidiary, GBLI Holdings, LLC, and the remainder from distributions received from a private equity investment. Intercompany Pooling Arrangement Global Indemnity’s U.S. insurance companies participate in an intercompany pooling arrangement whereby premiums, losses, and expenses are shared pro rata amongst the U.S. insurance companies. 68 Trust accounts Global Indemnity Reinsurance also has established trust accounts to collateralize exposure it has to certain third-party ceding companies. As a result of the redomestication, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company now holds these trust accounts. The Company invests the funds in securities that have durations that closely match the expected duration of the liabilities assumed. The Company believes that Penn-Patriot Insurance Company will have sufficient liquidity to pay claims prospectively. Capital Resources Intercompany Loan On August 28, 2020, Global Indemnity Investments, Inc. entered into a promissory note with Global Indemnity Group, LLC for the principal amount of $11.3 million. This note was issued in conjunction with Global Indemnity Investment Inc.’s purchase of limited liability partnership interests from Global Indemnity Group, LLC. The note bears interest at a rate of 1.47% and is due on August 28, 2030. This loan was fully repaid at December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2021, Global Indemnity Investments, Inc. entered into a $10.0 million discretionary line of credit demand note with Global Indemnity Group, LLC, as borrower. Each advance outstanding under this note will bear interest at an annual interest rate equal to the short-term applicable federal rate in effect at the time the advance was granted and will reset once a month. The outstanding principal amount of each advance shall be payable on the last day of the applicable interest period of such advance and on demand. The outstanding balance on the note was $2.8 million at December 31, 2021. Intercompany Dividends In February, 2022, American Reliable Insurance Company received approval from the department of insurance in Arizona for an extraordinary dividend in the amount of $22.5 million. All of the intercompany transactions discussed above eliminate in consolidation and have no impact on the consolidating financial statements. Margin Borrowing Facility As of December 31, 2021, the Company had available a margin borrowing facility. The Company did not have any amounts outstanding on the margin borrowing facility as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The borrowing rate for this facility was tied to the Fed Funds Effective rate and was approximately 0.8% at December 31, 2021 and 2020. This facility is due on demand. The borrowings are subject to maintenance margin, which is a minimum account balance that must be maintained. A decline in market conditions could require an additional deposit of collateral. The Company did not have any securities that were deposited as collateral at December 31, 2021 or 2020. The amount borrowed against the margin account may fluctuate as routine investment transactions, such as dividends received, investment income received, maturities and pay- downs, impact cash balances. The margin facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, insolvency, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with any representations or warranties, failure to adequately assure future performance, and failure of a guarantor to perform under its guarantee. Derivative Instruments The Company entered into derivative instruments related to interest rate swaps. Due to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company paid $2.7 million and $20.5 million in connection with these derivative instruments for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Co-obligor Financial Information The Company is providing the following information in compliance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, “Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities” with respect to the Company’s 7.875% Subordinated Notes due in 2047 (“2047 Notes”).

The amounts shown above represent future commitments under such operating leases. (2) Represents future funding commitment of the Company’s participation in three separate limited partnership investments. See Note 17 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on these commitments. (3) Represents the Subordinated Notes due in 2047 in the aggregate principal amount of $130.0 million through an underwritten public offering. The notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to 7.875% payable quarterly. See Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the 2047 Subordinated Notes. (4) These amounts represent the gross future amounts needed to pay losses and related loss adjustment expenses and do not reflect amounts that are expected to be recovered from the Company’s reinsurers. See discussion in “Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” for more details. 70 Inflation Property and casualty insurance premiums are established before the Company knows the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses or the extent to which inflation may affect such amounts. The Company attempts to anticipate the potential impact of inflation in establishing its reserves. Future increases in inflation could result in future increases in interest rates, which in turn are likely to result in a decline in the market value of the investment portfolio and resulting in unrealized losses and reductions in shareholders' equity.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market Risk Market risk is the risk of economic losses due to adverse changes in the estimated fair value of a financial instrument as the result of changes in interest rates, equity prices, credit risk, illiquidity, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets includes the estimated fair values of assets that are subject to market risk. The Company’s primary market risks are interest rate risk and credit risks associated with investments in fixed maturities, equity price risk associated with investments in equity securities, and foreign exchange risk associated with premium received that is denominated in foreign currencies. Each of these risks is discussed in more detail below. The Company has no commodity risk. Interest Rate Risk The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. The Company’s fixed income investments are exposed to interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of these securities. As interest rates rise, the market value of the Company’s fixed income investments fall, and the converse is also true. The Company seeks to manage interest rate risk through an active portfolio management strategy that involves the selection, by the Company’s managers, of investments with appropriate characteristics, such as duration, yield, currency, and liquidity that are tailored to the anticipated cash outflow characteristics of the Company’s liabilities. The Company’s strategy for managing interest rate risk also includes maintaining a high quality bond portfolio with a relatively short duration to reduce the effect of interest rate changes on book value. A significant portion of the Company’s investment portfolio matures each year, allowing for reinvestment at current market rates. The Company also holds interest rate swaps that are inversely correlated with the fixed income portfolio which helps to partially mitigate and manage interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2021, assuming identical shifts in interest rates for securities of all maturities, the table below illustrates the sensitivity of market value in Global Indemnity’s bonds to selected hypothetical changes in basis point increases and decreases: (Dollars in thousands) Basis Point Change (200) (100) No change 100 200 Market Value Change in Market Value % $ $ 1,276,286 1,243,669 1,201,866 1,159,670 1,117,460 74,420 41,803 — (42,196) (84,406) 6.2% 3.5% — (3.5%) (7.0%) The Company’s interest rate swaps are also exposed to interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of these financial instruments. As interest rates decline, the market value of the Company’s interest rate swaps fall, and the converse is also true. Since the Company has designated the interest rate swaps as non-hedge instruments, the changes in the fair value is recognized as net realized investment gains / losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, changes in interest rates will have a direct impact to the Company’s results of operations. In addition, on a daily basis, a margin requirement is calculated. If interest rates decline, the Company is required to pay a margin call equal to the change in the fair market value of the interest rate swap. When interest rates rise, the counterparty is required to pay to the Company a margin call equal to the change in fair market value of the interest rate swaps. As of December 31, 2021, the table below illustrates the sensitivity of market value of the Company’s interest rate swaps as well as the impact on the consolidated statements of operation to selected hypothetical changes in basis point increases and decreases: (Dollars in thousands) Basis Point Change (200) (100) No change 100 200 $ Market Value (15,578) $ (11,942) (8,395) (4,935) (1,560) Change in Market Value and Impact to Consolidated Statements of Operations (7,183) (3,547) — 3,460 6,835 72 Credit Risk The Company’s investment policy requires that its investments in debt instruments are of high credit quality issuers and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer based upon the rating of the security. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $35.3 million worth of investment exposure to subprime and Alt- A investments. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $19.1 million of those investments have been rated BBB- to AAA by Standard & Poor’s and $16.1 million were rated below investment grade. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $49.5 million worth of investment exposure to subprime and Alt-A investments. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $34.1 million of those investments have been rated BBB- to AAA by Standard & Poor’s and $15.4 million were rated below investment grade. There was no credit loss recorded on these investments during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. In addition, the Company has credit risk exposure to its general agencies and reinsurers. The Company seeks to mitigate and control its risks to producers by typically requiring its general agencies to render payments within no more than 45 days after the month in which a policy is effective and including provisions within the Company’s general agency contracts that allow it to terminate a general agency's authority in the event of non-payment. With respect to its credit exposure to reinsurers, the Company seeks to mitigate and control its risk by ceding business to only those reinsurers having adequate financial strength and sufficient capital to fund their obligation. In addition, the Company seeks to mitigate credit risk to reinsurers through the use of trusts and letters of credit for collateral. Equity Price Risk Starting in December 2021, the strategy for the Company’s equity portfolio was to invest in companies with stable dividends. The strategy also generates long-term capital appreciation through a combination of market upside participation and downside protection. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s investment related to this strategy totaled $75.8 million and consisted of common stocks. The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risk are based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet dates. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and thus the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of an equity security results from perceived changes in the underlying economic makeup of a stock, the price of alternative investments and overall market conditions. The Company attempts to mitigate its unsystemic risk, which is the risk that is associated with holding a particular security, by holding a large number of securities in that market. At year end, no security represented more than 2.4% of the market value of the equity portfolio. The Company continues to have systemic risk, which is the risk inherent in the general market due to broad macroeconomic factors that affect all companies in the market. As of December 31, 2021, the table below summarizes the Company’s equity price risk and reflects the effect of a hypothetical 10% and 20% increase or decrease in market prices. The selected hypothetical changes do not indicate what could be the potential best or worst scenarios. $ Hypothetical Price Change (20%) (10%) No change 10% 20% (Dollars in thousands) Estimated Fair Value after Hypothetical Change in Prices 60,600 68,175 75,750 83,325 90,900 Hypothetical Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Shareholders’ Equity (2.1%) (1.1%) — 1.1% 2.1% Foreign Currency Exchange Risk The Company has foreign currency exchange risk associated with a portion of the business previously written at Global Indemnity Reinsurance, as well as a small portion of expenses related to corporate overhead in its Ireland office. The Company also maintains cash accounts in foreign currencies in order to pay expenses in foreign countries. At period-end, the Company re-measures those non-U.S. currency financial assets to their current U.S. dollar equivalent. Financial liabilities, if any, are generally adjusted within the reserving process. However, for known losses on claims to be paid in foreign currencies, the Company re-measures the liabilities to their current U.S. dollar equivalent each period end. 73 Item 8.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 16, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 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 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. 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 the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated 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 account or disclosure to which it relates. Description of the Matter Valuation of Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses At December 31, 2021, the Company’s liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses was $760 million, of which a significant portion represents incurred but not reported reserves. As described in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the Company’s best estimate of future amounts needed to pay losses and related settlement expenses with respect to events insured by the Company. The difference between the estimated ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses and the case incurred loss (paid loss plus case reserve) is considered to be incurred but not reported. There is significant uncertainty inherent in determining management’s best estimate of the ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses, requiring the use of informed actuarially based estimates and management’s judgment. In particular, the Company’s long-tail reserve categories (such as general liability, construction defect and environmental exposures) are influenced by factors that are subject to significant variation over a long period of time or have high potential severities within the selection and weighting of actuarial methods and assumptions. Assumptions fundamental to the reserving process include claims frequency and severity as well as the review of historical payment and claim reporting patterns. Auditing management’s best estimate of the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses was 75 complex and involved the use of our actuarial specialists due to the significant estimation uncertainty associated with evaluating management’s methods and assumptions in determining the Company’s recorded loss and loss adjustment reserves. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the process for estimating loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. This included, among others, the review and approval processes management has in place for the methods and assumptions used in estimating the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. To test the Company’s estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, our audit procedures included among others, the assistance of our actuarial specialists to evaluate the assumptions used in the actuarial methods, by comparing the significant assumptions, including severity, frequency, payment patterns and expected loss ratios to the Company’s historical experience. In addition, we evaluated the selection and the weighting of actuarial methods used by management with those methods used in prior periods and those used in the industry. We developed a range of reasonable reserve estimates which included performing independent projections for a sample of lines of business and compared the range of reserve estimates to the Company’s recorded reserves. We also performed a review of historical results of the development of the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to prior years. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation Global Indemnity Group, LLC (“Global Indemnity”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 23, 2020, replaced Global Indemnity Limited, incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, as the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies as a result of a redomestication transaction completed on August 28, 2020. This transaction resulted in the redomestication of the Company and its Bermuda subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance to the United States. As of December 31, 2021, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares were publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol GBLI. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s predecessors have been publicly traded since 2003. See Note 2 below for additional information regarding the redomestication. On October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products which was part of the Specialty Property segment. The Company previously decided to cease writing certain Property Brokerage business which was part of the Commercial Specialty segment, as well as exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. Based on the decisions to exit these lines of business, the Company changed the way it manages and analyzes its operating results. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive as well as the Chief Operating Officer, decided they will be reviewing the specific results of the exited lines separately. The chief operating decision makers also determined that the small amount of specialty property business that remained from the Specialty Property segment would be included as programs in the Commercial Specialty segment for purpose of reviewing results and allocating resources. The Reinsurance Operations segment will continue to write casualty and professional treaties as well as individual excess policies. The Farm, Ranch & Stable segment was not impacted by these decisions and will continue to be reported as a segment. Accordingly, the Company will have four reportable segments: Commercial Specialty, Reinsurance Operations, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Exited Lines. Management believes these segments will allow users of the Company’s financial statements to better understand the Company's performance, better assess prospects for future net cash flows and to make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. The segment results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been revised to reflect these changes. See Note 22 for additional information regarding segments. Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company that is classified as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and meets the qualifying income exception to maintain partnership status. Global Indemnity Group, LLC owns all shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company. The insurance companies’ primary activity is providing insurance products across a distribution network that includes binding authority, program, brokerage and reinsurance. The insurance companies are managed through four business segments: Commercial Specialty, Farm, Ranch & Stable, Reinsurance Operations, and Exited Lines. The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment offers specialty property and casualty insurance products in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. The Company manages Commercial Specialty by differentiating them into four product classifications: 1) Penn-America, which markets property and general liability products to small commercial businesses through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which markets insurance products for targeted insured segments, including specialty products, such as property, general liability, and professional lines through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3)Diamond State, which markets property, casualty, and professional lines products, which are developed by the Company’s underwriting department by individuals with expertise in those lines of business, through wholesale brokers and also markets through program administrators having specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is marketed through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents. The Company has also created three start-up business lines which will distributes professional, environmental, and excess casualty products. These product classifications comprise the Company’s Commercial Specialty business segment and are not considered individual business segments because each product has similar economic characteristics, distribution, and coverage. The Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment provides specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry. These insurance products are sold through wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority. Collectively, the Company’s insurance subsidiaries are licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company’s Reinsurance Operations segment provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies. Prior to the redomestication transactions, the Company’s Reinsurance Operations consisted solely of the operations of its Bermuda-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance. As part of the redomestication transactions, Global Indemnity Reinsurance was merged with and into Penn-Patriot, with Penn-Patriot surviving, resulting in the assumption of Global Indemnity Reinsurance's business by the Global Indemnity group of companies’ existing U.S. insurance company subsidiaries. Exited Lines represents lines of business that are no longer being written or are in runoff. Exited Lines includes specialty personal lines property and casualty products such as manufactured home, dwelling, motorcycle, watercraft and certain homeowners business, certain business within Property Brokerage, and property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties. 82 The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 to present the lease right of use assets and lease liabilities separately from other assets and other liabilities, respectively. This change in classification does not affect previously reported Assets or Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 2. Redomestication At 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on August 28, 2020 (the "Effective Time"), Global Indemnity Limited, incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, completed a scheme of arrangement and amalgamation under Sections 86 and 87 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) (the "Scheme of Arrangement") that effected certain transactions (the "Redomestication") that resulted in the shareholders of Global Indemnity Limited becoming the holders of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. As a result, any references to class A common shares or class B common shares after the Effective Time refer to Global Indemnity Group, LLC class A common shares or class B common shares and any references to class A common shares or class B common shares prior to the Effective Time refers to Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary shares or B ordinary shares. The Redomestication was approved by Global Indemnity Limited’s shareholders at a special meeting and an extraordinary general meeting held on August 25, 2020, convened by Order of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands dated July 22, 2020. The terms and conditions of the issuance of the securities in connection with the Redomestication were sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands pursuant to an Order granted on August 26, 2020 after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all holders of Global Indemnity Limited ordinary shares had a right to appear and of which adequate notice had been given. Following completion of the Scheme of Arrangement, Global Indemnity Group, LLC survived as the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies. Additionally, as part of the Redomestication transactions, Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company was merged with and into Penn-Patriot, with Penn-Patriot surviving, resulting in the assumption of Global Indemnity Reinsurance’s business by the Global Indemnity group of companies’ existing U.S. insurance company subsidiaries (the "GI Bermuda Transaction" and, together with the Redomestication and the other transactions described in Global Indemnity Limited's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2020 (the "Redomestication Proxy Statement"), the "Transactions"). Prior to the Redomestication, the Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary shares were listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "GBLI" and registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). At the Effective Time, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares were deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act. The issuance of the class A common shares by Global Indemnity Group, LLC in the Redomestication was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by virtue of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. The Company’s class A common shares began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "GBLI," the same symbol under which the Global Indemnity Limited ordinary shares previously traded, at the commencement of trading on Nasdaq on August 28, 2020. On August 27, 2020, Global Indemnity Group, LLC issued 4,000 series A cumulative fixed rate preferred interests. Following the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding series A fixed rate preferred interests were unaffected by the Scheme of Arrangement. See Note 15 for additional information regarding the issuance of these preferred interests. The issuance of series A preferred interests was made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The series A preferred interests are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. 83 3. Sale of Renewal Rights Related to Manufactured & Dwelling Homes Products On October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products to K2 Insurance Services (“K2”) and American Family Mutual Insurance Company (“American Family”). Pursuant to the tripartite transaction, the Company received $28.0 million in cash in October 2021. The Company will also retain the American Reliable 50-state licensed operating unit, $65 million of net capital supporting the business, and a related $42 million unearned premium reserve. The Company currently leases office space in Scottsdale, Arizona. As part of this sale, K2 is subleasing approximately one third of the Scottsdale, Arizona office space. Currently, the Company intends to exercise the early termination clause in their Scottsdale, Arizona lease. If the Company exercises the early termination clause, it will receive $1.6 million in sublease payments from K2. If it does not exercise the early termination clause, it will receive $2.4 million in sublease payments from K2 between October 2021 and November 2029. To facilitate the transaction, American Reliable retained the specialty residential property business in Florida and Louisiana and also retained business that was previously placed in runoff. American Reliable intends to commence the non-renewal of manufactured home insurance in Florida beginning on March 11, 2022, for policies expiring on or after July 10, 2022. American Reliable and United National began non-renewing manufactured home and dwelling insurance in Louisiana on or about January 31, 2022, for policies renewing on or after March 7, 2022. American Family is assuming 100% of the risks for all policies covered under the renewal rights agreement which are written or renewed after October 26, 2021, except for policies covering properties in the state of Florida. The Company is also retaining risk for business previously placed in runoff and policies in Louisiana. The gross proceeds from this sale of $28.0 million are included in other income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company also recorded an impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, software, and lease costs in the amount of $1.1 million, $0.2 million, $2.0 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. The impairments are included in corporate and other operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 8 for additional information on the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and Note 14 for additional information on impairment of leases. In addition, effective November 30, 2021, the Company and American Family reached an agreement where American Family agreed to reinsure 100% of the Company’s unearned premium reserves of the same types as the policies comprising the manufactured and dwelling homes business lines noted above that were in force as of November 30, 2021. The approximate amount of the unearned premium reserves at November 30, 2021 was $33.8 million. The Company will receive a forty percent (40%) ceding commission which includes a provision for a four percent (4%) claims administration fee to be paid by the Company directly to K2 Claims. 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Investments The Company’s investments in fixed maturities, which are classified as available for sale, and equity securities are carried at their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair values of the Company's fixed maturities and equity securities are determined on the basis of quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses third- party pricing services to assist in determining fair value. In many instances, these services examine the pricing of similar instruments to estimate fair value. The Company purchases bonds with the expectation of holding them to their maturity; however, changes to the portfolio are sometimes required to assure it is appropriately matched to liabilities. In addition, changes in financial market conditions and tax considerations may cause the Company to sell an investment before it matures. The difference between amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of the effect of deferred income taxes, is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity and, accordingly, has no effect on net income (loss) other than for the credit loss component of impairments and losses recognized as a result of the intent to sell. Equity securities are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). For investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies where the ownership interest is less than 3%, the Company carries these investments at fair value, and the change in the difference between cost and the fair value of these interests, net of the effect of deferred income taxes, is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity and, accordingly, has no effect on net income (loss). The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies where its ownership interest exceeds 3%. The equity method of accounting for an investment in a limited partnership and limited liability company requires that its cost basis be updated to account for the income or loss earned on the investment. The receipt of results for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies may vary. If results are received on a timely basis, they are included in current results. If they are not received on a timely basis, they are recorded on a one quarter lag. The recording of such results are applied consistently for each investment once the timing of receiving the results has been established. The income or loss associated with the limited partnerships and limited liability companies is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, and the adjusted cost basis approximates fair value. 84 The Company’s investments in other invested assets were valued at $152.7 million and $97.0 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts relate to investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies whose carrying value approximates fair value. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company implemented new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 related to the measurement of expected credit losses on financial instruments. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are still measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired security and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income (loss). Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell continue to be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes. For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether: (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; (2) the issuer is in financial distress; (3) the investment is secured; (4) a significant credit rating action occurred; (5) scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed; (6) changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry; (7) the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity; (8) the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and (9) changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement. According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for expected credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. That new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities was $5.2 million and $5.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Variable Interest Entities A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) refers to an investment in which an investor holds a controlling interest that is not based on the majority of voting rights. Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results. The Company has variable interests in four VIEs for which it is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as their ownership interest exceeds 3% of their respective investments. 85 Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has a cash management program that provides for the investment of excess cash balances primarily in short-term money market instruments. Generally, bank balances exceed federally insured limits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had approximately $65.4 million and $58.0 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents that was invested in a diversified portfolio of high quality short-term debt securities. Valuation of Premium Receivables The Company evaluates the collectability of premium receivables based on a combination of factors. In instances in which the Company is aware of a specific circumstance where a party may be unable to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific allowance for expected credit losses against amounts due is recorded to reduce the net receivable to the amount reasonably believed by management to be collectible. For all remaining balances, the allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, direct placement with collection agencies, solvency of insured or agent, terminated agents, and other relevant factors. The allowance for expected credit losses was $3.0 million and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at least annually and more frequently as circumstances warrant in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accounting guidance allows for the testing of goodwill for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Impairment of goodwill is recognized only if the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The amount of the impairment loss would be equal to the excess carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Impairment of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life is tested at least annually and more frequently as circumstances warrant in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accounting guidance allows for the testing of indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeds the fair value of said assets. The amount of the impairment loss would be equal to the excess carrying value of the assets over the fair value of said assets. Intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amounts of definite lived intangible assets are regularly reviewed for indicators of impairment in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is in excess of its undiscounted projected cash flows. The impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. See Note 8 for additional information on goodwill and intangible assets as well as the results of qualitative impairment assessments performed. Reinsurance In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the loss that may arise from events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring certain levels of risk from various areas of exposure with reinsurers. Amounts receivable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the reinsured policy and the reinsurance contract. The Company regularly reviews the collectability of reinsurance receivables. An allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables is recognized based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, disputes, applicable coverage defenses, insolvent reinsurers, financial strength of solvent reinsurers based on AM Best Ratings and other relevant factors. Any changes in the allowance resulting from this review are included in net losses and loss adjustment expenses on the consolidated statements of operations during the period in which the determination is made. The allowance for expected credit losses was $9.0 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The applicable accounting guidance requires that the reinsurer must assume significant insurance risk under the reinsured portions of the underlying insurance contracts and that there must be a reasonably possible chance that the reinsurer may realize a significant loss from the transaction. The Company has evaluated its reinsurance contracts and concluded that each contract qualifies for reinsurance accounting treatment pursuant to this guidance. 86 Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences 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 years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The deferred tax asset balance is analyzed regularly by management. This assessment requires significant judgment and considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies and/or actions. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations can generate sufficient taxable income to realize the remaining deferred income tax assets, and accordingly, the Company has not established any valuation allowances. Deferred Acquisition Costs The costs of acquiring new and renewal insurance and reinsurance contracts primarily include commissions, premium taxes and certain other costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal insurance and reinsurance contracts. The excess of the Company’s costs of acquiring new and renewal insurance and reinsurance contracts over the related ceding commissions earned from reinsurers is capitalized as deferred acquisition costs and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. The amortization of deferred acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $144.9 million, $140.9 million, and $132.3 million, respectively. Premium Deficiency A premium deficiency is recognized if the sum of expected loss and loss adjustment expenses and unamortized acquisition costs exceeds related unearned premium after consideration of investment income. This evaluation is done at a distribution and product line level in Insurance Operations and Exited Lines and at a treaty level in Reinsurance Operations. Any future expected loss on the related unearned premium is recorded first by impairing the unamortized acquisition costs on the related unearned premium followed by an increase to loss and loss adjustment expense reserves on additional expected loss in excess of unamortized acquisition costs. No premium deficiency reserve existed as of December 31, 2021 or 2020. Derivative Instruments The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to cash flow variability from interest rate risk and limit exposure to severe equity market changes. The derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and included in other assets and other liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments and the periodic net interest settlements under the derivatives instruments are recognized as net realized investment gains (losses) on the consolidated statements of operations. Margin Borrowing Facility The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet represent the outstanding borrowings. The outstanding borrowings are due on demand; therefore, the cash receipts and cash payments related to the margin borrowing facility are shown net in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Subordinated Notes The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet represent the outstanding balances, net of deferred issuance cost. See Note 13 for details. Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the Company’s best estimate of future amounts needed to pay losses and related settlement expenses with respect to events insured by the Company. This liability is based upon the accumulation of individual case estimates for losses reported prior to the close of the accounting period with respect to direct business, estimates received from ceding companies with respect to assumed reinsurance, and estimates of unreported losses. 87 The process of establishing the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment is complex, requiring the use of informed actuarially based estimates and management’s judgment. In some cases, significant periods of time, up to several years or more, may elapse between the occurrence of an insured loss and the reporting of that loss to the Company. To establish this liability, the Company regularly reviews and updates the methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liabilities. Any resulting adjustments are recorded in consolidated statements of operations during the period in which the determination is made. Retirement of Treasury Stock Upon the formal retirement of treasury stock, Global Indemnity Group, LLC offsets the par value of the treasury stock that is being retired against common shares and reflects any excess of cost over par value as a deduction from Additional Paid-in Capital. Share Redemptions When shares are redeemed, Global Indemnity Group, LLC offsets the par value of the redeemed shares against common shares and reflects any excess of cost over par value as a deduction from Retained Earnings. Premiums Premiums are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the respective policies and treaties. Unearned premiums are computed on a pro rata basis to the day of expiration. Mandatory reinstatement premiums assessed on reinsurance policies are earned in the period of the loss event that gave rise to the reinstatement premiums. Contingent Commissions Certain professional general agencies of GBLI are paid special incentives, referred to as contingent commissions, when results of business produced by these agencies are more favorable than predetermined thresholds. Similarly, in some circumstances, companies that cede business to the Reinsurance Operations are paid profit commissions based on the profitability of the ceded portfolio. These commissions are charged to other underwriting expenses when incurred. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock options and other equity based compensation using the modified prospective application of the fair value-based method permitted by the appropriate accounting guidance. See Note 18 for details. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted- average common shares outstanding. In periods of net income, diluted earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average common shares outstanding and the weighted-average common share equivalents outstanding, which include options and other equity awards. In periods of net loss, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share. See Note 20 for details. Foreign Currency At times, the Company maintains investments and cash accounts in foreign currencies related to the operations of its business. At period-end, the Company re-measures non-U.S. currency financial assets to their current U.S. dollar equivalent. The resulting gain or loss for foreign denominated fixed maturity investments, if any, is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity; whereas, the gain or loss on foreign denominated cash accounts and equity securities is reflected in income during the period. Financial liabilities, if any, are generally adjusted within the reserving process. However, for known losses on claims to be paid in foreign currencies, the Company re-measures the liabilities to their current U.S. dollar equivalent each period end with the resulting gain or loss reflected in income during the period. Net transaction gains and losses, primarily comprised of re- measurement of known losses on claims to be paid in foreign currencies, were a gain of $0.5 million, $0.1 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. For leases with a term of greater than 12 months, lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are included on the consolidated balance sheets. 88 Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The ROU asset is calculated using the initial lease liability amount, plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred. Lease expenses for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements may contain both lease and non-lease components which are accounted separately. The Company elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from non-lease components for its equipment leases. Rental income derived from subleases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the operating lease term. Other Income Other income is primarily comprised of fee income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and gain on sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products. 5.

The impairment evaluation process is discussed in the “Investment” section of Note 4 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). The following is a description, by asset type, of the methodology and significant inputs that the Company used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings, if any: U.S. treasuries – As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to U.S. treasuries were $0.419 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities. Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on U.S. treasuries during the period. Agency obligations – As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to agency obligations were $0.068 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities. Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on agency obligations during the period. Obligations of states and political subdivisions – As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to obligations of states and political subdivisions were $0.301 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, elements that may influence the performance of the municipal bond market are considered in evaluating these securities such as investor expectations, supply and demand patterns, and current versus historical yield and spread relationships. The analysis relies on the output of fixed income credit analysts, as well as dedicated municipal bond analysts who perform extensive in-house fundamental analysis on each issuer, regardless of their rating by the major agencies. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on obligations of states and political subdivisions during the period. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) – As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were $2.284 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, mortgage-backed securities are modeled to project principal losses under downside, base, and upside scenarios for the economy and home prices. The primary assumption that drives the security and loan level modeling is the Home Price Index (“HPI”) projection. These forecasts incorporate not just national macro-economic trends, but also regional impacts to arrive at the most granular and accurate projections. These assumptions are incorporated into the model as a basis to generate delinquency probabilities, default curves, loss severity curves, and voluntary prepayment curves at the loan level within each deal. The model utilizes HPI-adjusted current loan to value, payment history, loan terms, loan modification history, and borrower characteristics as inputs to generate expected cash flows and principal loss for each bond under various scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on mortgage-backed securities during the period. 91 Asset backed securities (“ABS”) - As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to asset backed securities were $0.974 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s asset backed portfolio is 32.4. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before an asset backed security will incur its first dollar of principal losses. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, every ABS transaction is analyzed on a stand-alone basis. This analysis involves a thorough review of the collateral, prepayment, and structural risk in each transaction. Additionally, the analysis includes an in-depth credit analysis of the originator and servicer of the collateral. The analysis projects an expected loss for a deal given a set of assumptions specific to the asset type. These assumptions are used to calculate at what level of losses the deal will incur its first dollar of principal loss. The major assumptions used to calculate this ratio are loss severities, recovery lags, and no advances on principal and interest. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on asset backed securities during the period. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) - As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to the CMBS portfolio were $0.627 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s CMBS portfolio is 40.4. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before a commercial mortgage-backed security will incur its first dollar of principal loss. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, a loan level analysis is utilized where every underlying CMBS loan is re-underwritten based on a set of assumptions reflecting expectations for the future path of the economy. Each loan is analyzed over time using a series of tests to determine if a credit event will occur during the life of the loan. Inherent in this process are several economic scenarios and their corresponding rent/vacancy and capital market states. The five primary credit events that frame the analysis include loan modifications, term default, balloon default, extension, and ability to pay off at balloon. The resulting output is the expected loss adjusted cash flows for each bond under the base case and distressed scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on commercial mortgage-backed securities during the period. Corporate bonds - As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to corporate bonds were $2.054 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, analysis for this asset class includes maintaining detailed financial models that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on corporate bonds during the period. Foreign bonds – As of December 31, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to foreign bonds were $0.904 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, detailed financial models are maintained that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on foreign bonds during the period. The Company has evaluated its investment portfolio and has determined that an allowance for expected credit losses on its investments is not required.

Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results. The Company has variable interests in four VIE’s for which it is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as their ownership interest exceeds 3% of their respective investments. The carrying value of one of the Company’s VIE’s, which invests in distressed securities and assets, was $8.6 million and $10.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $22.8 million and $25.0 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The carrying value of a second VIE that also invests in distressed securities and assets was $0.3 million and $15.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $17.3 million and $32.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The carrying value and maximum exposure to loss of a third VIE that invests in Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) qualifying assets was $11.7 million and $10.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The carrying value and maximum exposure to loss of a fourth VIE, which invests in a broad portfolio of non-investment grade loans, was $106.2 million and $60.0 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s investment in VIEs is included in other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in carrying value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. 6. Derivative Instruments Derivatives are used by the Company to reduce risks from changes in interest rates and limit exposure to severe equity market changes. The Company has interest rate swaps with terms to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. The Company has also used exchange-traded futures contracts, which give the holder the right and obligation to participate in market movements at a future date, to allow the Company to react faster to market conditions. When using derivatives, the Company posts collateral and settles variation margin in cash on a daily basis equal to the amount of the derivatives’ change in value. The Company accounts for the interest rate swaps and futures as non-hedge instruments and recognizes the fair value of the interest rate swaps in other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with the changes in fair value recognized as net realized investment gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company is ultimately responsible for the valuation of the interest rate swaps. To aid in determining the estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps, the Company relies on the forward interest rate curve and information obtained from a third-party financial institution. 96 The following table summarizes information on the location and the gross amount of the derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: (Dollars in thousands) Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments under ASC 815 Interest rate swap agreements ........................

These amounts are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was not utilizing futures contracts. As of December 31, 2020, the Company posted initial margin of $0.5 million in securities for trading futures contracts with a mark-to-market receivable of less than $0.1 million. Variation margin is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. 7. Fair Value Measurements The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards. The Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy: • • • Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset. 97 The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

The securities classified as Level 2 in the above table consist primarily of fixed maturity securities and derivative instruments. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities, security prices are derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments, consisting of interest rate swaps, is obtained from a third-party financial institution that utilizes observable inputs such as the forward interest rate curve. The investments classified as Level 3 in the above table consist of fixed maturities and equity securities with unobservable inputs. 98 The following table presents changes in Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: (Dollars in thousands) Beginning balance ................................................................................ $ Total gains (realized / unrealized): Included in accumulated other comprehensive income..................

The equity method of accounting for an investment in a limited liability companies and limited partnerships requires that its cost basis be updated to account for the income or loss earned on the investment. In the Fair Value of Alternative Investments table above, all of the investments, except for the Credit Fund, LLC, are booked on a one quarter lag due to non-availability of data at the time the financial statements are prepared. Information for the Credit Fund, LLC is received on a timely basis and is included in current results. The investment income (loss) associated with the limited liability companies and limited partnerships whose ownership interest exceeds 3% is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the amounts of $10.0 million, ($6.2) million, and less than $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Pricing The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships. Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value: • • Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges. Corporate and agency bonds are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve. Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors. Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities. • Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) matrix and prepayment model used for collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above. For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports. For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance. The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds. • For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used. The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research. • U.S. treasuries are evaluated by obtaining feeds from a number of live data sources including primary and secondary dealers as well as inter-dealer brokers. • For mortgage-backed securities, various external analytical products are utilized and purchased from commercial vendors. The Company performs certain procedures to validate whether the pricing information received from the pricing vendors is reasonable, to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with accounting guidance, and to ensure that its assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s procedures include, but are not limited to: • Reviewing periodic reports provided by the Investment Manager that provides information regarding rating changes and securities placed on watch. This procedure allows the Company to understand why a particular security’s market value may have changed or may potentially change. • Understanding and periodically evaluating the various pricing methods and procedures used by the Company’s pricing vendors to ensure that investments are properly classified within the fair value hierarchy. • On a quarterly basis, the Company corroborates investment security prices received from its pricing vendors by obtaining pricing from a second pricing vendor for a sample of securities. During 2021 and 2020, the Company has not adjusted quotes or prices obtained from the pricing vendors. 100 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill As a result of acquisitions in 2015 and 2010, the Company has goodwill within the Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable segments. The goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired. Goodwill allocated to our specialty property business, which is part of the Exited Lines segment, was impaired due to the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products. An impairment loss of $1.1 million was included in corporate and other operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Please see Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products. Impairment testing performed in 2020 related to Exited Lines did not result in an impairment of goodwill acquired. Impairment testing performed in 2021 and 2020 related to Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable segments did not result in an impairment of goodwill acquired.

Intangible assets with definite lives As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, definite lived intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and were comprised of customer relationships, agent relationships, and tradenames. Agent relationships with a net value of $0.2 million, within the Company’s Exited Lines segment, were impaired due to the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products. This impairment loss of $0.2 million was included in corporate and other operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Please see Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products. Other than the impairment of agent relationships due to the sale, there was no impairment of the intangible assets with definite lives in 2021 or 2020. 9. Allowance for Expected Credit Losses - Premium Receivables and Reinsurance Receivables For premium receivables, the allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, direct placement with collection agencies, solvency of insured or agent, terminated agents, and other relevant factors.

Reinsurance The Company cedes risk to unrelated reinsurers on a pro rata (“quota share”) and excess of loss basis in the ordinary course of business to limit its net loss exposure on insurance contracts. Reinsurance ceded arrangements do not discharge the Company of primary liability. Moreover, reinsurers may fail to pay the Company due to a lack of reinsurer liquidity, perceived improper underwriting, and losses for risks that are excluded from reinsurance coverage and other similar factors, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

The difference between 2021 and 2020 is due to the increase in net income at Global Indemnity Group, LLC which is treated as a partnership for tax. The difference between 2020 and 2019 is primarily due to a pre-tax loss of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries in 2020 as compared to pre-tax income in 2019. In addition, the income tax benefit for 2020 was also impacted by a change in tax status which is the income tax benefit recognized on net insurance liabilities that were redomiciled from Bermuda at a 0% tax rate to the United States at a 21% tax rate. 105 The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented below: (Dollars in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Discounted unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ........................................................................ $ Unearned premiums .........................................................

Management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be completely utilized in future years. As a result, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company has a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward of $28.6 million as of December 31, 2021, which begins to expire in 2036 based on when the original NOL was generated. The Company’s NOL carryforward as of December 31, 2020 was $26.2 million. The Company had a Section 163(j) (“163(j)”) carryforward of $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The Company did not have any 163(j) carryforward as of December 31, 2021. The 163(j) carryforward relates to the limitation on the deduction for business interest expense paid or accrued. The Company had an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforward of $11.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company filed a request for a full refund in 2020. The Company received $11.0 million of the AMT credit carryforward during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company and some of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various U.S. states and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2018. The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties whereby it only recognizes those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities. All tax benefits recognized by the Company in 2021, 2020, and 2019 have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities. The Company classifies all interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not record any significant liabilities for tax-related interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheets. 106 12.

During 2021, the Company increased its prior accident year loss reserves by $8.7 million, which consisted of a $5.1 million increase related to Commercial Specialty, a $1.3 million decrease related to Farm, Ranch & Stable, a $1.1 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations, and a $$6.0 million increase related to Exited Lines. The $5.1 million increase in prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Specialty primarily consisted of the following: • General Liability: A $0.1 million increase in aggregate with $2.9 million of favorable development in the construction defect reserve category and $3.0 million of adverse development in the other general liability reserve categories. The reduction in the construction defect reserve category recognizes lower than expected claims frequency and severity in accident years prior to 2005 and the 2005 through 2009, 2011 and 2014 accident years with a slight increase recognized in the 2016 accident year. For the other general liability reserve categories, higher than anticipated claims severity was the main driver of the increases, primarily in accident years 2005 through 2007, 2009 and 2017 through 2020 accident years, partially offset by decreases prior to 2005, 2008 and 2013 through 2016 accident years. • • Property: A $5.5 million increase primarily recognizes higher than expected claims severity mainly in the 2015, 2016 and 2018 through 2020 accident years, partially offset by a decrease in the 2017 accident year. Professional Liability: A $0.5 million decrease mainly in the 2019 and 2020 accident years, mainly reflecting lower than anticipated claims severity. The $1.3 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Farm, Ranch & Stable primarily consisted of the following: • • Liability: A $1.3 million reduction primarily reflects lower than expected claims severity in the 2015 through 2017 and 2020 accident years, partially offset by increases in the 2007, 2018 and 2019 accident years. Property: A decrease of less than $0.1 million in total, reflects a $1.6 million reduction primarily from lower than expected claims severity in the 2017 and 2019 accident years, mostly offset by increases in the 2018 and 2020 accident years. The $1.1 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations primarily consisted of the following: • Professional: A $1.1 million decrease was recognized in professional lines mainly in the 2015 accident year, reflecting that the inception-to-date case incurred remained zero for this claims-made segment in this year. 107 The $6.0 million increase of prior accident year loss reserves related to Exited Lines primarily consisted of the following: • Property: A $8.9 million increase in total, with the bulk of the increase in the 2018 accident year which reflects a higher estimated ultimate for Hurricane Michael; the increase recognizes case incurred emergence on a Property Brokerage claim. • General Liability: A $1.3 million reduction primarily reflects lower than expected claims severity in the 2016 through 2018 and 2020 accident years, partially offset by an increase in the 2019 accident year. • Reinsurance: A $1.6 million decrease was in the property lines and primarily in the 2011, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2020 accident years, partially offset by increases in the 2010, 2012 and 2019 accident years. During 2020, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $31.5 million, which consisted of a $23.6 million decrease related to Commercial Specialty, a $2.3 million decrease related to Farm, Ranch & Stable, a $1.7 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations, and a $3.9 million decrease related to Exited Lines. The $23.6 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Specialty primarily consisted of the following: • General Liability: A $20.4 million reduction in aggregate with $6.6 million of favorable development in the construction defect reserve category and $13.8 million of favorable development in the other general liability reserve categories. The reduction in the construction defect reserve category primarily recognizes lower than expected claims frequency and severity in the 2005 through 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2017 accident years, slightly offset by an increase in the 2016 accident year. For the other general liability reserve categories, lower than anticipated claims severity was the main driver of the favorable development primarily in the 2005 through 2015 accident years, partially offset by increases in the 2016 through 2019 accident years. • Professional Liability: A $1.8 million decrease mainly in the 2007 through 2010 and 2019 accident years recognizes lower than expected claims severity, partially offset by an increase in the 2006 accident year. • Commercial Auto Liability: A $1.0 million reduction primarily in the 2010 and 2012 through 2016 accident years recognizes lower than anticipated claims severity. • Property: A $0.2 million decrease primarily recognizes lower than expected claims severity in a few of the prior accident years. • Workers Compensation: A $0.2 million decrease primarily in loss adjustment expense reserves in the 2012 accident year and accident years prior to 2005. The $2.3 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Farm, Ranch & Stable primarily consisted of the following: • • Property: A $2.0 million decrease mainly reflects lower than anticipated claims severity in the 2016 through 2018 accident years and a reduction in the catastrophe reserve category in the 2017 accident year for subrogation recoveries from the California wildfires, partially offset by an increase in the 2019 accident year. Liability: A $0.3 million decrease primarily recognizes lower than expected claims severity mainly in the 2009 and 2015 through 2019 accident years, mostly offset by increases in the 2007 and 2013 accident years due to higher than anticipated claims severity. The $1.7 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations primarily consisted of the following: • Professional Lines: A $1.7 million decrease in the 2014 and 2015 accident years, reflecting that the inception-to-date case incurred remained zero for this claims-made segment in these years. The $3.9 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Exited Lines primarily consisted of the following: • Property: A $1.5 million increase recognizes higher than expected claims severity primarily in the Property Brokerage segment. The bulk of the increase was in the 2018 accident year which reflects a higher estimated ultimate for Hurricane Michael; the increase in ultimate resulted from receiving additional information during the year for a Property Brokerage claim. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the specialty property reserve segments, primarily in the 2017 accident year catastrophe reserve categories for subrogation recoveries from the California wildfires. Other decreases in the specialty property reserve segments primarily reflect lower than anticipated claims severity in the 2015 through 2018 accident years, partially offset by an increase in the 2019 accident year due to higher than expected claims severity. 108 • General Liability: A $2.1 million decrease primarily recognizes lower than expected claims severity mainly in the 2015 through 2019 accident years. • Reinsurance: A $3.3 million decrease was primarily based on a review of the experience reported from cedants. There was a $2.9 million decrease in the property lines in the 2009 through 2018 accident years, partially offset by an increase in the 2019 accident year. In addition, there was a reduction of $0.4 million in the liability & workers compensation lines in the 2009 through 2012 accident years. During 2019, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $32.8 million, which consisted of a $23.3 million decrease related to Commercial Specialty, $5.5 million decrease related to Farm, Ranch & Stable, a $2.8 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations, and a $1.2 million decrease related to Exited Lines. The $23.3 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Specialty primarily consisted of the following: • General Liability: A $14.5 million reduction in aggregate with $3.5 million of favorable development in the construction defect reserve category and $11.0 million of favorable development in the other general liability reserve categories. The favorable development in the construction defect reserve category recognizes better than expected claims frequency and severity in the 2004 through 2009, 2011 through 2015, 2017 and 2018 accident years, partially offset by increases in the 2010 and 2016 accident years which reflects higher than anticipated claims severity. The decreases in the other general liability reserve categories primarily recognizes lower than anticipated claims severity in the 1999 through 2014, 2016 and 2017 accident years, partially offset by an increase in the 2015 accident year which was impacted by higher than expected claims severity. • Commercial Auto Liability: A $2.0 million decrease primarily driven by better than expected claims severity in the 2000 through 2002, 2010 through 2013, 2015 and 2016 accident years. • • Professional Liability: A $1.9 million reduction primarily in the 2007 through 2011 accident years recognizes better than expected claims severity. Property: A $5.9 million decrease in aggregate mainly due to lower than anticipated claims severity in the 2012 through 2017 accident years. • Reinsurance: A $1.0 million increase was recognized based on a review of expected ceded recoverables by reinsurer. The increase was primarily in the general liability reserve categories and older accident years. The $5.5 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Farm, Ranch & Stable primarily consisted of the following: • • Property: A $3.9 million decrease in aggregate in the 2015 through 2018 accident years primarily reflects lower than expected claims severity. Also, there were ceded recoveries from a second accident quarter catastrophe in the 2018 accident year leading to favorable development in that year. Liability: A $1.6 million decrease primarily in the 2015 through 2017 accident years recognizes lower than anticipated claims severity, partially offset by increases in the 2013, 2014, and 2018 accident years which reflects higher than expected claims severity. The $2.8 million decrease in prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations primarily consisted of the following: • Professional Liability: A $2.8 million decrease was recognized in the 2013 through 2015 accident years, reflecting that the inception-to-date case incurred remained zero for this claims-made segment in these years. The $1.2 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Exited Lines primarily consisted of the following: • Property: A $5.2 million decrease in aggregate primarily recognizes decreases in the specialty property reserve segments, mainly in the catastrophe reserve category for subrogation recoveries from the California Camp wildfire loss in the 2018 accident year. There also was favorable development in accident years 2015 through 2017 reflecting better than expected claims severity. These reductions were partially offset by increases in the 2010, 2017 and 2018 accident years which were impacted by higher than expected claims severity. • General Liability: A $0.7 million decrease primarily recognizes lower than expected claims severity in the 2014 through 2016 and 2018 accident years, partially offset by increases in the 2010 and 2017 accident years, recognizing higher than expected claims severity. 109 • Reinsurance: A $4.8 million increase primarily in the 2007 and 2016 through 2018 accident years partially offset by favorable development in the 2008, 2010 and 2011 through 2015 accident years based on a review of the experience reported from the cedants related to the Company’s property treaties. The 2018 accident year was adversely impacted by $9.0 million of development from Typhoon Jebi. Prior to 2001, the Company underwrote multi-peril business insuring general contractors, developers, and sub-contractors primarily involved in residential construction that has resulted in significant exposure to construction defect (“CD”) claims. The Company’s reserves for CD claims are established based upon management’s best estimate in consideration of known facts, existing case law and generally accepted actuarial methodologies. However, due to the inherent uncertainty concerning this type of business, the ultimate exposure for these claims may vary significantly from the amounts currently recorded. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, gross reserves for CD claims were $31.4 million in both years and net reserves for CD claims were $30.2 million and $29.8 million, respectively. The Company has exposure to asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) claims. The asbestos exposure primarily arises from the sale of product liability insurance, and the environmental exposure arises from the sale of general liability and commercial multi-peril insurance. In establishing the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to A&E exposures, management considers facts currently known and the current state of the law and coverage litigation. Liabilities are recognized for known claims (including the cost of related litigation) when sufficient information has been developed to indicate the involvement of a specific insurance policy, and management can reasonably estimate its liability. In addition, liabilities have been established to cover additional exposures on both known and unasserted claims. Estimates of the liabilities are reviewed and updated regularly. Case law continues to evolve for such claims, and uncertainty exists about the outcome of coverage litigation and whether past claim experience will be representative of future claim experience. Included in net unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were IBNR reserves of $20.1 million, $27.3 million, and $27.1 million, respectively, and case reserves of approximately $1.9 million, $1.4 million, and $2.0 million, respectively, for known A&E-related claims. The following table shows the Company’s gross reserves for A&E losses: (Dollars in thousands) Gross reserve for A&E losses and loss adjustment expenses – beginning of 2021 Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 period....................................................................................................................... $ Plus: Change in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses ...........................

The insurance industry continues to receive a substantial number of asbestos-related bodily injury claims, with an increasing focus being directed toward other parties, including installers of products containing asbestos rather than against asbestos manufacturers. This shift has resulted in significant insurance coverage litigation implicating applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any, including but not limited to, determinations as to whether or not an asbestos-related bodily injury claim is subject to aggregate limits of liability found in most comprehensive general liability policies. As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the survival ratio on a gross basis for the Company’s open A&E claims was 33.3 years, 35.5 years, and 32.1 years, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the survival ratio on a net basis for the Company’s open A&E claims was 63.5 years, 59.5 years, and 47.8 years, respectively. The survival ratio, which is the ratio of gross or net reserves to the 3-year average of annual paid claims, is a financial measure that indicates how long the current amount of gross or net reserves are expected to last based on the current rate of paid claims. 110 Line of Business Categories The following is information, presented by lines of business with similar characteristics including similar payout patterns, about incurred and paid claims development as of December 31, 2021, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of incurred-but-not-reported liabilities included within the net incurred claims amounts. The years included represent the number of years for which claims incurred typically remain outstanding but need not exceed 10 years including the most recent report period presented. The information about incurred and paid claims development for the years ended December 31, 2012 to 2020, is presented as required supplementary unaudited information. Commercial Specialty Property and Casualty Methodologies Commercial Specialty’s internal actuarial reserve reviews were completed for loss and allocated loss adjustment expenses (“ALAE”) separately for property excluding catastrophe experience, property catastrophes, and casualty reserve categories. The internal actuarial reserve reviews were completed with data through December, 2021. Actuarial methodologies, such as the Loss Development and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods, were employed to develop estimates of ultimate loss & ALAE for most reserve categories. Additional actuarial methodologies were employed to develop estimates of ultimate loss & ALAE for mass tort and constructions defect reserve categories due to the unique characteristics of the exposures involved. Management’s ultimate selections considered the internal actuarial review and a third-party actuarial review completed during the 4th quarter of 2021.

Actuarial methodologies, such as the Loss Development and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods, were employed to develop estimates of ultimate loss & ALAE.

The current book of business is constituted of professional liability portfolios, retrocessions for casualty business, and primary reinsurance on a few smaller treaties. The reserve reviews were completed based on the latest data reported from the cedants which is typically on a quarter lag. Paid loss, ALAE and case reserves, shown in the reinsurance category tables below, which are originally based in a foreign currency, are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on the Foreign Exchange (“FX”) rate at the end of the period. Management’s ultimate selections considered the internal actuarial review and a third-party actuarial review completed during the 4th quarter of 2021. Case incurred is subtracted from the management selected ultimates to obtain the booked IBNR reserves. These methodologies are consistent with last year. The Company does not have direct access to claim frequency information underlying reinsurance contracts.

Debt The Company’s outstanding debt consisted of the following at December 31, 2021 and 2020: (Dollars in thousands) 7.875% Subordinated Notes due 2047.................... $ 2021 2020 126,430 $ 126,288 December 31, Margin Borrowing Facility The Company has available a margin borrowing facility. The borrowing rate for this facility is tied to the Fed Funds Effective rate and was approximately 0.8% at December 31, 2021 and 2020. This facility is due on demand. The borrowings are subject to maintenance margin, which is a minimum account balance that must be maintained. A decline in market conditions could require an additional deposit of collateral. The Company did not have any securities that were deposited as collateral at December 31, 2021 or 2020. The amount borrowed against the margin account may fluctuate as routine investment transactions, such as dividends received, investment income received, maturities and pay-downs, impact cash balances. The margin facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, insolvency, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with any representations or warranties, failure to adequately assure future performance, and failure of a guarantor to perform under its guarantee. The Company did not have any amounts outstanding on the margin borrowing facility as of December 31, 2021 or 2020. 118 The Company recorded interest expense related to the Margin Borrowing Facility of approximately $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company did not incur any interest expense related to the Margin Borrowing Facility for the year ended December 31, 2021. 7.75% Subordinated Notes due 2045 In August 2020, GBLI Holdings and Global Indemnity Limited redeemed the entire outstanding $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Subordinated Notes due 2045 (“2045 Notes”). In connection with the redemption, the Company wrote off deferred issuance costs of $3.1 million which was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred issuance costs through the date of redemption, recognized on the 2045 Notes was $4.9 million and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company did not incur any interest expense related to the 2045 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2021. 7.875% Subordinated Notes due 2047 On March 23, 2017, Global Indemnity Limited issued Subordinated Notes due in 2047 in the aggregate principal amount of $120.0 million through an underwritten public offering (the “2047 Notes”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, Global Indemnity Limited granted the underwriters a 30 day option to purchase up to an additional $18 million aggregate principal amount of the 2047 Notes solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 30, 2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in the amount of $10 million principal amount of the 2047 Notes. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of the 2047 Notes increased to $130.0 million. The sale of the 2047 Notes pursuant to the over-allotment option closed on March 30, 2017. The 2047 Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to 7.875%, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2017. The 2047 Notes mature on April 15, 2047. The Company has the right to redeem the 2047 Notes in $25 increments, in whole or in part, on and after April 15, 2022, or on any interest payment date thereafter, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2047 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. If the Company redeems only a portion of the 2047 Notes on any date of redemption, the Company may subsequently redeem additional 2047 Notes. The 2047 Notes are subordinated unsecured obligations and rank (i) senior to the Company’s existing and future capital stock, (ii) senior in right of payment to future junior subordinated debt, (iii) equally in right of payment with any existing unsecured, subordinated debt that the Company has issued or may issue in the future that ranks equally with the 2047 Notes, and (iv) subordinate in right of payment to any of the Company’s future senior debt. In addition, the 2047 Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries including the Company’s margin borrowing facility. The 2047 Notes do not require the maintenance of any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity, and do not contain provisions that would afford holders of the 2047 Notes protection in the event of a sudden and dramatic decline in the Company’s credit quality resulting from any highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the Company that may adversely affect holders. The 2047 Notes do not restrict the Company in any way, now or in the future, from incurring additional indebtedness, including senior indebtedness that would rank senior in right of payment to the 2047 Notes. There is no right of acceleration of maturity of the 2047 Notes in the case of default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the 2047 Notes or in the performance of any other obligation of the Company under the notes or if the Company defaults on any other debt securities. Holders may accelerate payment of indebtedness on the 2047 Notes only upon the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. The Company incurred $4.2 million in deferred issuance costs associated with the 2047 Notes, which is being amortized over the term of the 2047 Notes. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred issuance costs, recognized on the 2047 Notes was $10.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. The following table represents the amounts recorded for the 2047 Notes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: (Dollars in thousands) Outstanding principal........................................................ $ Unamortized debt issuance costs ......................................

Pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, New CayCo expressly assumed the obligations of Global Indemnity Limited under the Indenture, including the obligations of Global Indemnity Limited under the outstanding 2047 Notes issued pursuant to such Indenture. On August 28, 2020, in connection with the merger of New Cayco with and into Global Indemnity Group, LLC, each of New CayCo, the Co-Obligor, Global Indemnity Group, LLC and the Trustees entered into a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 28, 2020 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture"), to the Indenture. Pursuant to the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, Global Indemnity Group, LLC expressly assumed the obligations of New CayCo under the Indenture, including the obligations of New CayCo under the outstanding 2047 Notes issued pursuant to such Indenture. Co-obligor Transaction In April, 2018, GBLI Holdings, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, became a subordinated co-obligor with respect to the 2045 Notes, which were fully redeemed in August 2020, and the 2047 Notes with the same obligations and duties as the Company under the Indenture (including the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by the Company, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the 2047 Notes when due whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise), and with the same rights, benefits and privileges of the Company thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GBLI Holdings, LLC's obligations (including the obligation to pay the principal of and interest in respect of the 2047 Notes) are subject to subordination to all monetary obligations or liabilities of GBLI Holdings, LLC owing to any regulated reinsurance or insurance company that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, in addition to indebtedness of GBLI Holdings, LLC for borrowed money. If the Company pays any amount with respect to the subordinated note obligations, the Company is entitled to be reimbursed by GBLI Holdings, LLC within 10 business days after a demand is made to GBLI Holding, LLC by the Company. In consideration for becoming a subordinated co-obligor on the subordinated notes, GBLI Holdings, LLC received a promissory note from Global Indemnity Limited with a principal amount of $230 million due April 15, 2047 that has since been assigned to an affiliate. This promissory note was settled in August 2020. 14. Leases The Company leases office space and equipment under various operating lease arrangements. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 20 months to 9 years. Some building leases have options to extend, terminate, or retract the leased area. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company exercised the contraction clause of one of its leases. The Company incurred a $0.3 million contraction fee in conjunction with exercising the contraction clause. The related lease ROU asset and lease liability were revalued when the Company exercised the contraction clause. The Company did not factor in any other term extension, terminations, or space retractions into the lease terms used to calculate the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities since it was uncertain as to whether these options would be executed. In conjunction with the sale of the renewal rights related to manufactured and dwelling homes products, lease ROU assets related to building space, parking, and equipment at the Company’s Scottsdale Arizona location were evaluated for impairment. An impairment loss of $1.5 million was recognized and included in corporate and other operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The lease ROU assets and lease liabilities related to the Scottsdale Arizona building and parking lease were also re-measured due to the Company’s intention to exercise the early termination clause which allows the Company to reduce the length of the lease term from 131 months to 95 months. As part of this sale, K2 is subleasing approximately one third of the Company’s Scottsdale, Arizona office. If the Company exercises the early termination clause, it will receive $1.6 million in sublease payments from K2. If it does not exercise the early termination clause, it will receive $2.4 million in sublease payments from K2 between October 2021 and November 2029. Rental income derived from this sublease will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the operating lease term. Please see Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information on the sale of the renewal rights related to manufactured and dwelling homes products. 120 The components of lease expenses were as follows: (Dollars in thousands) Operating lease expenses ....................................... $ Short-term lease expenses ......................................

Shareholders’ Equity On August 28, 2020, Global Indemnity completed a scheme of arrangement and amalgamation that effected certain transactions (the "Redomestication") that resulted in the shareholders of Global Indemnity Limited becoming the holders of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. Please see Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for details on the redomestication. The treasury shares of Global Indemnity Limited were not subject to the scheme of arrangement. The carrying value of the Global Indemnity Limited treasury shares, $4.1 million, were offset against the Additional Paid-in Capital account of Global Indemnity Limited, according to the Company’s policy regarding the treatment of treasury shares. Please see Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report for more information on the Company’s policy regarding the treatment of treasury shares. Issuance of Preferred Shares On August 27, 2020, Global Indemnity Group, LLC issued and sold to Wyncote LLC (“Wyncote”), an affiliate of Fox Paine & Company, LLC, 4,000 Series A Preferred Interests at a price of $1,000 per Series A Preferred Interest, for the aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. The issuance of Series A Preferred Interests to Wyncote was made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Series A Preferred Interests are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. The preferred shares are redeemable at the discretion of Global Indemnity Group, LLC after five years or at the discretion of the holders upon the occurrence of a change in control of Global Indemnity Group, LLC. While the preferred shares are non-voting, the preferred shareholders are entitled to appoint two additional members to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Board of Directors whenever the “Unpaid Targeted Priority Return” (as defined in the applicable Share Designation) with respect to the preferred shares exceed zero immediately following six or more “Distribution Dates” (as defined in the applicable Share Designation), whether or not such Distribution Dates occur consecutively and Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Board of Directors is obligated to take, and cause Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s officers to take, any necessary actions to effectuate such appointments, including expanding the size of the Board of Directors, in connection with any exercise of the foregoing provisions. Following the effective time of the Redomestication (the “Effective Time”), all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Interests sold to Wyncote remain outstanding as "Series A Cumulative Fixed Rate Preferred Shares", unaffected by the Scheme of Arrangement and subject to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Global Indemnity Group, LLC (the “LLCA”) and that certain Share Designation, effective as of the Effective Time, that sets forth the designation, rights, preferences, powers, duties, restrictions, limitations and obligations of the Series A Cumulative Fixed Rate Preferred Shares from and after the Effective Time. Distribution Restrictions The ability of Global Indemnity Group, LLC to pay distributions is subject to applicable federal and state laws and Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s LLCA. Distributions of cash or other assets of Global Indemnity Group, LLC may be paid to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s shareholders out of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s assets legally available therefor only when, and if determined by the Board. Each Series A Preferred Shareholder is entitled to a “Priority Return” (as defined in the applicable Share Designation). On each Distribution Date, Global Indemnity Group, LLC shall make a distribution to each holder of the Series A Preferred Shares out of, and subject to a determination by the Board that the Company has on the applicable Distribution Date, funds legally available therefor, payable in cash only, in an amount equal to the estimated amount necessary to reduce the Unpaid Priority Return of each Series A Preferred Share immediately after such Distribution Date to zero. All such distributions shall be made pro rata in relation to each such Series A Preferred Share’s Unpaid Priority Return. Since Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company and has no direct operations, its ability to pay distributions depends, in part, on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. Penn-Patriot Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries are subject to significant regulatory restrictions limiting their ability to declare and pay dividends. Global Indemnity Investments, Inc. is dependent on generating investment income in order to pay a dividend to Global Indemnity Group, LLC. See Note 21 for additional information regarding dividend limitations imposed on Penn-Patriot Insurance Company and its subsidiaries. Dividend / Distribution Program During the fourth quarter of 2017, Global Indemnity announced the adoption of a dividend / distribution program. Although subject to the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors and factors, conditions, and prospects as such may exist from time to time when the Board of Directors considers the advisability of declaring a quarterly dividend / distribution, Global Indemnity Group, LLC currently anticipates a distribution rate of $0.25 per share per quarter ($1.00 per share per year). 122 Dividends/ Distributions Distribution payments of $0.25 per common share per quarter were declared during the year ended December 31, 2021 as follows: Approval Date Record Date February 14, 2021.............

Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement, (“Management Agreement”) dated August 28, 2020, between Global Indemnity Group, LLC and Fox Paine & Company, LLC, Global Indemnity Group, LLC agrees to pay, or to cause one of its affiliates to pay, an annual service fee (“Annual Service Fee”) as compensation for Fox Paine & Company, LLC’s ongoing provision of certain financial and strategic consulting, advisory and other services to Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its affiliates, and to reimburse all direct and indirect expenses paid or incurred in connection with such services upon request, excluding expenses for travel, lodging, meals, and other items relating to attendance at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. For the twelve-month period beginning on September 5, 2019 and ending September 4, 2020, the Annual Service Fee was equal to $2.6 million, which amount will be adjusted on an ongoing basis in each subsequent twelve-month period to reflect the aggregate increase in the CPI-U. Should Global Indemnity Group, LLC and Fox Paine & Company, LLC agree that the Annual Service Fee will be deferred, the Annual Service Fee will become subject to an annual adjustment equal to the percentage rate of return the Company earns on its investment portfolio multiplied by the aggregate Annual Service Fees and adjustment amounts accumulated and unpaid through such date. Management fee expense of $2.7 million, $2.6 million, and $2.1 million was incurred during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for such risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers’ have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Commitments In 2014, the Company entered into a $50 million commitment to purchase an alternative investment vehicle which is comprised of European non-performing loans. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has funded $35.8 million of this commitment leaving $14.2 million as unfunded. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company expects minimal capital calls will be made prospectively. In 2017, the Company entered into a $50 million commitment to purchase an alternative investment vehicle comprised of stressed and distressed securities and structured products. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has funded $33.0 million of this commitment leaving $17.0 million as unfunded. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company expects minimal capital calls will be made prospectively. In 2021, the Company entered into a $25 million commitment to purchase an alternative investment vehicle comprised of performing, stressed or distressed securities and loans across the global fixed income markets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has fully funded this commitment. Other Commitments The Company is party to a Management Agreement, as amended, with Fox Paine & Company, LLC, whereby in connection with certain management services provided to it by Fox Paine & Company, LLC, the Company agreed to pay an annual management fee to Fox Paine & Company, LLC. See Note 16 above for additional information pertaining to this management agreement. COVID-19 There is risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage. 18. Share-Based Compensation Plans The fair value method of accounting recognizes share-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors in the consolidated statements of operations using the grant-date fair value of the stock options and other equity-based compensation expensed over the requisite service and vesting period. For the purpose of determining the fair value of stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company elected a policy to accrue for compensation cost based on the number of awards that are expected to vest. An estimation of forfeitures is required when recognizing compensation expense which is then adjusted over the requisite service period should actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative adjustment to compensation in the period of change. Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based payment awards are required to be recognized as an income tax benefit or expense in net income (loss) with the corresponding cash flows recognized as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. In connection with the Redomestication, the 2018 Share Incentive Plan was amended and restated to reflect Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s assumption of the sponsorship of the plan and other changes deemed necessary and appropriate to reflect the completion of the Redomestication. 126 Options Award activity for stock options granted under the Plan and the weighted average exercise price per share are summarized as follows: Time-Based Options Performance- Based Options Options outstanding at January 1, 2019 .............

Earnings Per Share Earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: (Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) Numerator: 2021 Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Net income (loss)..................................................................... $ Less: preferred stock distributions...........................................

If the Company had not incurred a loss in the year ended December 31, 2020, 14,458,008 weighted average shares would have been used to compute the diluted loss per share calculation. In addition to the basic shares, weighted average shares for the diluted calculation for the year ended December 31, 2020 would have included 17,470 shares of non-vested restricted stock, 57,456 restricted stock units, and 91,816 share equivalents for options. 131 The weighted average shares outstanding used to determine dilutive earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 does not include 393,333, 700,000, and 500,000 options, respectively, which were deemed to be anti-dilutive. The weighted average shares outstanding used to determine dilutive earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 does not include 66,957 restricted stock units which were deemed to be anti-dilutive. There were no restricted stock units which were deemed to be anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019. 21. Statutory Financial Information GAAP differs in certain respects from Statutory Accounting Principles (“SAP”) as prescribed or permitted by the various U.S. state insurance departments. The principal differences between SAP and GAAP are as follows: • Under SAP, investments in debt securities are primarily carried at amortized cost, while under GAAP the Company records its debt securities at estimated fair value. • Under SAP, policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, premium taxes, fees and other costs of underwriting policies are charged to current operations as incurred, while under GAAP such costs are deferred and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period covered by the policy. • Under SAP, certain assets designated as "Non-admitted assets" (such as prepaid expenses) are charged against surplus. • Under SAP, net deferred income tax assets are admitted following the application of specified criteria, with the resulting admitted deferred tax amount being credited directly to surplus. • Under SAP, certain premium receivables are non-admitted and are charged against surplus based upon aging criteria. • Under SAP, the costs and related receivables for guaranty funds and other assessments are recorded based on management's estimate of the ultimate liability and related receivable settlement, while under GAAP such costs are accrued when the liability is probable and reasonably estimable and the related receivable amount is based on future premium collections or policy surcharges from in-force policies. • Under SAP, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums are reported net of the effects of reinsurance transactions, whereas under GAAP, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums are reported gross of reinsurance. • Under SAP, a provision for reinsurance is charged to surplus based on the authorized status of reinsurers, available collateral, and certain aging criteria, whereas under GAAP, an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance is established based on management’s best estimate of the collectability of reinsurance receivables. • Under SAP, the tax impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 is recorded through surplus, whereas under GAAP, the tax impact is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) issues model laws and regulations, many of which have been adopted by state insurance regulators, relating to: (a) risk-based capital ("RBC") standards; (b) codification of insurance accounting principles; (c) investment restrictions; and (d) restrictions on the ability of insurance companies to pay dividends. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are required by law to maintain certain minimum surplus on a statutory basis, and are subject to regulations under which payment of a dividend from statutory surplus is restricted and may require prior approval of regulatory authorities. Applying the current regulatory restrictions as of December 31, 2021, the maximum amount of distributions that could be paid in 2022 by Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, the United National insurance companies, the Penn-America insurance companies, and American Reliable under applicable laws and regulations without regulatory approval is approximately $35.9 million, $18.0 million, $8.5 million, and $12.9 million, respectively. The Penn-America insurance companies limitation includes $2.8 million that would be distributed to United National Insurance Company or its subsidiary, Penn Independent Corporation, based on the December 31, 2021 ownership percentages. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries did not declare or pay any dividends in 2021. 132 The NAIC's RBC model provides a tool for insurance regulators to determine the levels of statutory capital and surplus an insurer must maintain in relation to its insurance and investment risks, as well as its reinsurance exposures, to assess the potential need for regulatory attention. The model provides four levels of regulatory attention, varying with the ratio of an insurance company's total adjusted capital to its authorized control level RBC ("ACLRBC"). If a company’s total adjusted capital is: (a) less than or equal to 200%, but greater than 150% of its ACLRBC (the "Company Action Level"), the company must submit a comprehensive plan to the regulatory authority proposing corrective actions aimed at improving its capital position; (b) less than or equal to 150%, but greater than 100% of its ACLRBC (the "Regulatory Action Level"), the regulatory authority will perform a special examination of the company and issue an order specifying the corrective actions that must be followed; (c) less than or equal to 100%, but greater than 70% of its ACLRBC (the "Authorized Control Level"), the regulatory authority may take any action it deems necessary, including placing the company under regulatory control; and (d) less than or equal to 70% of its ACLRBC (the "Mandatory Control Level"), the regulatory authority must place the company under its control. Based on the standards currently adopted, the Company reported in its 2021 statutory filings that the capital and surplus of the insurance companies are above the prescribed Company Action Level RBC requirements. The following is selected information for the Company’s insurance companies, net of intercompany eliminations, where applicable, as determined in accordance with SAP: (Dollars in thousands) Statutory capital and surplus, as of end of period ....................... $ Statutory net income (loss).......................................................... Years Ended December 31, 2020 342,987 73,655 2021 359,471 29,696 $ $ 2019 263,793 39,971 Prior to Global Indemnity Reinsurance’s merger into Penn-Patriot on August 28, 2020, Global Indemnity Reinsurance was required to also prepare annual statutory financial statements. The Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 (the “Insurance Act”) prescribes rules for the preparation and substance of these statutory financial statements which include, in statutory form, a balance sheet, an income statement, a statement of capital and surplus and notes thereto. The statutory financial statements are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or SAP and are distinct from the financial statements prepared for presentation to Global Indemnity Reinsurance's shareholders and under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 (the “Companies Act”), which financial statements will be prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal differences between statutory financial statements prepared under the Insurance Act and GAAP are as follows: • Under the Insurance Act, policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, premium taxes, fees and other costs of underwriting policies are charged to current operations as incurred, while under GAAP such costs are deferred and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period covered by the policy. • Under the Insurance Act, prepaid expenses and intangible assets are charged to current operations as incurred, while under GAAP such costs are deferred and amortized on a pro rata basis. • Under the Insurance Act, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums are reported net of the effects of reinsurance transactions, whereas under GAAP, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums are reported gross of reinsurance. Under the Companies Act, Global Indemnity Reinsurance may only declare or pay a dividend if it has no reasonable grounds for believing that it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or if the realizable value of its assets would not be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts. Global Indemnity Reinsurance is also prohibited, without the approval of the BMA, from reducing by 15% or more its total statutory capital or 25% or more of its total statutory capital and surplus as set out in its previous year’s statutory financial statements, and any application for such approval must include such information as the BMA may require. In June, 2020, Global Indemnity Reinsurance declared and paid a dividend of $226.0 million to its parent company, Global Indemnity Limited. On August 26, 2020, Global Indemnity Reinsurance merged into Penn-Patriot Insurance Company. 133 The following is selected information for Global Indemnity Reinsurance, net of intercompany eliminations, where applicable, as determined in accordance with the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 for the year ended December 31, 2019: (Dollars in thousands) Statutory capital and surplus, as of end of period.............................................................. $ Statutory net income (loss) ................................................................................................ 885,763 34,086 As a result of the merger, the Company no longer has any subsidiaries which are Bermuda licensed companies and is not required to prepare annual statutory financial statements in accordance with the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 for 2021 and 2020. 22. Segment Information On October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products which was part of the Specialty Property segment. The Company previously decided to cease writing certain Property Brokerage business which was part of the Commercial Specialty segment, as well as exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. Based on the decisions to exit these lines of business, the Company changed the way it manages and analyzes its operating results. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive as well as the Chief Operating Officer, decided they will be reviewing the specific results of the Exited Lines separately. The chief operating decision makers also determined that the small amount of specialty property business that remained from the Specialty Property segment would be included as programs in the Commercial Specialty segment for purpose of reviewing results and allocating resources. The Reinsurance Operations segment will continue to write casualty and professional treaties as well as individual excess policies. The Farm, Ranch & Stable segment was not impacted by these decisions and will continue to be reported as a segment. Accordingly, the Company will have four reportable segments: Commercial Specialty, Reinsurance Operations, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Exited Lines. Management believes these segments will allow users of the Company’s financial statements to better understand the Company's performance, better assess prospects for future net cash flows and to make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. The segment results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been revised to reflect these changes. All four segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For further disclosure regarding the Company’s accounting policies, please see Note 4. The Company manages its business through four business segments. Commercial Specialty offers specialty property and casualty products designed for product lines such as Small Business Binding Authority, Property Brokerage, and Programs. Farm, Ranch & Stable offers specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry. Reinsurance Operations provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies. Exited Lines represents lines of business which the Company has decided to exit. 134 The following are tabulations of business segment information for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

New Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021 In December, 2019, the FASB issued updated guidance related to the accounting for income taxes. The updated guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions contained in existing guidance and amending other existing guidance to simplify several other income tax accounting matters. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In November, 2021, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires business entities to make annual disclosures about certain government assistance that it receives. If the Company was to receive any government assistance in the future, the necessary disclosures will be made. 137 25.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company's management, with the participation of its Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: • • • pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and Directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management has assessed the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The standard measures adopted by management in making its evaluation are the measures in the Internal Control Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based upon its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2021, and that there were no material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of that date. Ernst & Young, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which has audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-K, has issued its report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on page 140. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. 139 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Global Indemnity Group, LLC Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Global Indemnity Group, LLC (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) and our report dated March 16, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania March 16, 2022 140 Item 9B.
