Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 11, 2021, FedNat Holding Company (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to the Underwriter (the “Offering”). The Shares will be sold at a per share public offering price of $4.75. The Company expects to receive aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Shares of approximately $15.2 million, after deducting the underwriter’s discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering is expected to close on March 15, 2021.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 525,000 shares of its common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriter’s discount.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and all of the Company’s directors and executive officers also agreed to not sell or transfer any common stock of the Company for 90 days after March 11, 2021 without first obtaining the consent of Piper Sandler & Co.

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-225464), including the prospectus dated June 26, 2018 contained therein, as the same has been amended and/or supplemented from time to time.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. A copy of the opinion letter of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP relating to the legality of the Shares to be issued in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
