Key Financial Metrics
This filing is a Current Report regarding corporate governance and shareholder voting results. It does not provide financial performance data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt levels, or liquidity metrics. The document references the ratification of Plante & Moran, PLLC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, but contains no financial statements.
Material Changes and Voting Results
Shareholders approved several material changes to the company's structure and capitalization. The voting results for Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are summarized below:
- Proposal 1 (Director Election): Elected Joseph D. Sarafa as a Class I director for a three-year term.
- Proposal 2 (Name Change): Approved the amendment to change the company name from Conifer Holdings, Inc. to Presurance Holdings, Inc.
- Proposal 3 (Reverse Stock Split): Approved a reverse stock split of outstanding common stock and Series B Preferred Stock at a ratio to be determined by the Board within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-12.

Voting Participation: Approximately 86.7% of outstanding common stock and 100% of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock were present or represented by proxy. Notably, Proposals 3, 4, and 6 received significant "Against" votes from common stockholders (ranging from 45% to 46% against), though they passed due to the voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain management guidance, financial outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclosure that the reverse stock split ratio is yet to be determined by the Board. The company authorized adjournments of the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies if necessary to approve Proposals 2, 3, and 4, indicating potential uncertainty regarding the support for these measures among common stockholders.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific reverse stock split ratio (1-for-2 to 1-for-12) once announced by the Board of Directors.
- Confirm the effective date of the name change to Presurance Holdings, Inc. and the ticker symbol update on Nasdaq.
- Review the definitive proxy statement filed on May 9, 2025, for detailed rationale behind the reverse split and warrant issuance.
- Monitor future filings for the actual issuance of shares related to the 4,000,000 warrants approved in Proposal 4.
- Assess the implications of the significant dissent (approx. 45-46% against) on Proposals 3, 4, and 6 for future shareholder relations.
