Properties, in its own words
Leased Properties. The Company leases space for its principal offices and for some of its insurance operations in an office building located in Atlanta, Georgia under a lease which continues until either party provides written notice of cancellation at least twelve months in advance of the actual termination date (“Lease Agreement”). The lease, which commenced on November 1, 2007, provides for rent adjustments on every fifth anniversary of the commencement date. Under the current terms of the lease, the Company occupies approximately 49,586 square feet of office space. The owner of the building, 4370 Peachtree LLC, is controlled by an affiliate of the Company.

The Second Amendment amends the Lease Agreement, dated November 1, 2007, by and among the same parties (as previously amended, the “Lease Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company leases space for its principal offices and for some of its insurance operations in an office building located in Atlanta, Georgia. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lease Agreement was modified to increase the base rent payable by the Company, beginning January 1, 2025. The Second Amendment also provides for rent adjustment on January 1, 2027, January 1, 2030 and each five years thereafter.
The rest of Item 2
American Southern leases space for its office in a building located in Atlanta, Georgia. The lease term expires September 30, 2026. Under the terms of the lease, American Southern occupies approximately 17,014 square feet.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
Legal proceedings
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are, and expect to continue to be, involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, both as a liability insurer defending third-party claims brought against insureds and as an insurer defending coverage claims brought against it, and in various regulatory proceedings in the states in which we do business. The Company accounts for such exposures through the establishment of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and accrued expenses. We currently do not expect that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation or regulatory proceedings, after consideration of provisions made for probable losses and costs of defense, will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, although the results of such matters could be material to the consolidated results of operations for any given period.
