Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, revenue outlook, or management commentary on operational performance.

The securities were sold unregistered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact number of outstanding common shares to calculate the potential dilution from the 4,000,000 warrant shares.
- Confirm the current prime rate of Waterford Bank, N.A. to determine the effective dividend cost (minimum 12.0% + 6.0% = 18.0% annualized).
- Review the Company's cash position to assess the ability to service the mandatory dividend payments or redeem the preferred stock by the 2026 maturity date.
- Check for the status of stockholder approval required for the warrant exercise provisions.
- Clarify the discrepancy between the input metadata ("Presurance Holdings") and the filing registrant ("Conifer Holdings, Inc.").
