Material Changes and Agreements

The amendment mandates that any proceeds from the sale of PFG Holdings Acquisition Corp. and Philadelphia Financial Group, Inc. used for mandatory prepayments must be applied to all outstanding term loans pro rata, rather than reducing only incremental term loans.
- Reliance Securities Purchase Amendment: On August 4, 2015, Tiptree and its subsidiaries amended the Securities Purchase Agreement with Reliance First Capital, LLC. The amendment modifies the definition of "Excluded Items" to exclude certain third-party costs and non-recurring expenses. These items are added back to the calculation of Annual EBITDA, which determines additional consideration payable to the Reliance Sellers.
