EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to Registration Statement Nos. 333-125175-99, 333-122569-99 and 333-115178-99 on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by Global Indemnity Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GI-Delaware”), as successor issuer to Global Indemnity Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GI-Cayman”). On August 28, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern time) (the “Effective Time”), the scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme of Arrangement”) involving GI-Cayman and GI-Delaware (as described in GI-Cayman’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 23, 2020 relating to the special scheme meeting and the extraordinary general meeting of the holders of Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary shares and B ordinary shares held on August 25, 2020) became effective.

Upon effectiveness of the Scheme of Arrangement, (i) GI-Cayman merged with and into New CayCo, a newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of GI-Delaware incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability (“New CayCo”), following which, New CayCo survived the merger (the “Amalgamation”); (ii) in consideration for the Amalgamation, GI-Delaware issued common shares of GI-Delaware to the shareholders of record of GI-Cayman as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 27, 2020 on the following basis: for each A ordinary share of GI-Cayman (“GI-Cayman A Ordinary Share”) cancelled, one class A common share of GI-Delaware (“GI-Delaware Class A Share”) was issued; and for each B ordinary share of GI-Cayman (“GI-Cayman B Ordinary Share”) cancelled, one class B common share of GI-Delaware (“GI-Delaware Class B Share”) was issued; and (iii) pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement and as part of the Amalgamation, GI-Cayman was dissolved.

As a result of the Scheme of Arrangement, (i) each holder of GI-Cayman A Ordinary Shares received one GI-Delaware Class A Share for each GI-Cayman A Ordinary Share owned by such holder, (ii) each holder of GI-Cayman B Ordinary Shares received one GI-Delaware Class B Share for each GI-Cayman B Ordinary Share owned by such holder and (iii) each of the preferred shares of GI-Delaware issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the New CayCo’s merger into GI-Delaware (“New CayCo Merger”) shall continue to exist as shares of GI-Delaware, the surviving entity, following the New CayCo Merger.

Also, in connection with the effectiveness of the Scheme of Arrangement, GI-Delaware, among other things, assumed the outstanding awards that had previously been granted by GI-Cayman under GI-Cayman’s share incentive plans, as amended. These assumed awards have been adjusted to cover GI-Delaware Class A Shares, rather than GI-Cayman A Ordinary Shares, on a one-for-one basis.

This Post-Effective Amendment pertains to the adoption by GI-Delaware of the Registration Statements. GI-Delaware hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant has been formed as a Delaware limited liability company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Persons (i) will not be entitled to indemnification for any claim (including Indemnified Claims) if and to the extent that there has been a final, non-appealable determination that such Indemnified Person engaged in Fraud (as defined in the GI-Delaware LLC Agreement) with respect to such claim and (ii) will.be entitled to indemnification with respect to claims brought by or against such Indemnified Persons that are not Indemnified Claims if they are successful on the merits with respect to such claims pursuant to a final, non-appealable determination.

Indemnified Persons will be entitled, under the GI-Delaware LLC Agreement, to advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with any Indemnified Claims prior to the resolution thereof upon the receipt by GI-Delaware of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Persons to repay such amount if it ultimately shall be determined that the Indemnified Persons are not entitled to be indemnified.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

See the Exhibit Index that immediately follows the signature pages to this registration statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

  (a)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


  (b)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of the employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-125175-99, 333-122569-99 and 333-115178-99)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Global Indemnity Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), in connection with the post-effective amendment No. 3 filed on the date hereof to the registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-125175-99, 333-122569-99 and 333-115178-99) of the Company relating to the A Ordinary Shares, respectively, of the Company (as successor to Global Indemnity Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company, as successor to Global Indemnity Limited plc, an Irish public limited company), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on May 24, 2005, February 4, 2005 and May 5, 2004, respectively, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, filed with the Commission under the Act on July 2, 2010 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, filed with the Commission under the Act on November 7, 2016 (such registration statements collectively, as so amended, being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statements”).

The Registration Statements relate to the issuance by the Company from time to time, pursuant to Rules 415 and 416, as applicable, of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Act (the “Rules and Regulations”) of an aggregate of 5,172,052 shares of the Company’s class A common shares, no par value (the “Class A Common Shares”) that may be issued under the Global Indemnity Limited Share Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.


In rendering the opinion stated herein, we have examined and relied on the following:

(a) the Registration Statements;

(b) a copy of the Plan, certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate;

(c) an executed copy of a certificate of Stephen W. Ries, Secretary, dated August 28, 2020 (the “Secretary’s Certificate”);

(d) a copy of the Company’s Certificate of Formation, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of August 24, 2020, and certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate;

(a) a copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, as amended and in effect as of August 25, 2020 and certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate;

(e) a copy of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2020, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof and certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate (the “Second Amended and Restated LLC Agreement” and, together the Certificate of Formation, the “Organizational Documents”);

(f) a copy of a written consent of the sole member of the Company, adopted on July 16, 2020, certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate; and

(g) a copy of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted on August 25, 2020, certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated below, including the facts and conclusions set forth in the Secretary’s Certificate.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photocopied copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, limited liability company or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder, and we also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, limited liability company or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. We have also assumed that the Second Amended and Restated LLC Agreement is the only limited liability company agreement, as defined under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”), of the Company, and that the Company has, and since the time of its formation has had, at least one validly admitted and


existing member of the Company and (i) no procedures have been instituted for, and no other event has occurred, including, without limitation, any action taken by the Company or the Board of Directors or members, that would result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, (ii) no event has occurred that has adversely affected the good standing of the Company under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, and the Company has taken all actions required by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation to maintain such good standing, and (iii) no grounds exist for the revocation or forfeiture of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation. Further, we have assumed that, at the time of issuance and delivery of the Shares, (i) each agreement setting forth the terms of each grant under the Plan will be consistent with the Plan and will be duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company, including any duly authorized committee thereof, shall have taken all necessary limited liability company action to approve the issuance such Class A Common Shares and related matters and appropriate officers of the Company, as applicable, have taken all related action as directed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and (iii) the issuance of the Class A Common Shares does not violate or conflict with any agreement or instrument binding on the Company (except that we do not make this assumption with respect to the Organizational Documents). As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including the facts and conclusions set forth in the Secretary’s Certificate.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the DLLCA.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Class A Common Shares when issued to the participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Formation, the Plan and the applicable award agreement for consideration paid or delivered in an amount at least equal to the par value of such Class A Common Shares, the Class A Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and under the DLLCA, the holders of the Class A Common Shares will have no obligation to make further payments for the purchase of such Class A Common Shares or contributions to the Company solely by reason of their ownership of such Class A Common Shares except for their obligation to repay any funds wrongfully distributed to them.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statements. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

 

Very truly yours,
/s/ Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
