Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 8, 2024, Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd., a Bermuda company (the “Company”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with funds affiliated with Blackstone Alternative Solutions LLC (“BAS”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to repurchase 9,124,729 shares of the Company’s Class A common shares owned by such funds at a price per share of $12.00, which represented a 12.0% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company Class B common shares (the “Repurchase Transaction”). The total purchase price for such shares is $109,496,748. The purchase price will be funded by a loan under the Company’s existing credit facility which the Company intends to repay with funds withdrawn from the Two Sigma Hamilton Fund. The Company expects to close the transaction on May 10, 2024 subject to customary closing conditions. The Class A common shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled and the Company will have 101,878,284 shares outstanding following the Repurchase Transaction.

The Repurchase Transaction was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and will be funded on a short-term basis using borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility. The loan will bear interest at a rate of 8.5% based on the prime rate in effect at the time of the borrowing. The description of the Company’s existing credit facility contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2022, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.14 of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-275000) filed on October 16, 2023.

(each, a “Seller,” and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd., a Bermuda company (the “Purchaser”). RECITALS WHEREAS, the Sellers currently own in the aggregate 9,124,729 shares of Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share, of the Purchaser (“Common Shares”); WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Sellers desire to sell all of the Common Shares owned by the Sellers to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Sellers, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, all of the Common Shares owned by the Sellers (the “Repurchase Transaction”); WHEREAS, the Purchaser is authorized, pursuant to its bye-laws and memorandum of association, to purchase its own shares in accordance with section 42A of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the “Companies Act”); and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Purchaser has approved the Repurchase Transaction and this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I SALE AND PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES Section 1.1 Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined herein), each Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from such Seller, free and clear of any and all Liens (as defined herein) and together with all rights attached or accruing to them at the Closing Date, the number of Common Shares set forth opposite such Seller’s name in Schedule A hereto (the “Shares”). The purchase price for the Shares shall be $12.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), resulting in a total purchase price of $109,496,748.00 (the “Purchase Price”). Section 1.2 Closing.

ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER Each Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, severally and not jointly, as of the date hereof, as follows: Section 2.1 Existence and Power. (a) The Seller is a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Seller has the power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement (as defined herein) to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement by the Seller and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) do not require the consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of, or (except for filings pursuant to Sections 13 or 16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory authority, including any securities exchange or self-regulatory organization, or court, or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Seller; and (ii) except as would not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement, do not and will not constitute or result in a breach, violation or default, or cause the acceleration or termination of any obligation or right of the Seller or any other party thereto, under (A) any note, bond, mortgage, deed, indenture, lien, instrument, contract, agreement, lease or license, whether written or oral, express or implied, to which the Seller or any of its subsidiaries is a party, (B) the Seller’s organizational documents or (C) any statute, law, ordinance, decree, order, injunction, rule, directive, judgment or regulation of any court, administrative or regulatory body, including any stock exchange or self-regulatory organization, governmental authority, arbitrator, mediator or similar body. - 2 -


 
73707511.12 Section 2.2 Valid and Enforceable Agreement; Authorization. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity. The Seller has duly taken all necessary corporate or limited partnership action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Section 2.3 Title to Shares. The Seller is the sole owner of the Shares. No person or entity has any beneficial ownership of the Shares other than the Seller and its affiliates. The Shares constitute all of the equity interests of the Purchaser beneficially owned by the Seller. The Seller has good and valid title to the Shares, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge, charge, security interest, mortgage, title retention agreement, assessment, option, proxy, agreement to vote, equitable or other adverse claim (collectively, “Liens”), and has not, in whole or in part, (a) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of the Shares or its ownership rights in such Shares or (b) given any person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to such Shares. There are no (a) securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of the Shares other than the Class B common shares of the Purchaser, (b) options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for any of the Shares or (c) contracts, commitments, agreements, understandings or arrangements of any kind (contingent or otherwise) relating to the issuance, sale or transfer of any of the Shares. The delivery and/or release, as applicable, of the Shares to the Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement will transfer and convey good, valid and marketable title to the Shares to the Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens. Section 2.4 Sophistication of the Seller. The Seller is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in trading in securities of private and public companies and understands the disadvantage that may result from selling the Shares without knowledge of the Excluded Information (as defined herein) and it believes, by reason of its business or financial experience or its own independent investigation that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of making its investment decision regarding the Repurchase Transaction and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and of protecting its own interests in connection with such transactions. In entering this Agreement, the Seller has consulted with its own advisors and has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis to make an informed decision regarding the sale of the Shares, without relying upon the Purchaser. Section 2.5 Access to Information. The Seller has had the opportunity to discuss the plans, operations and financial condition of the Purchaser with its respective officers and directors and have reviewed information (including information which has been delivered subject to the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined herein)) necessary to enable the Seller to evaluate the decision to sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser may be in possession of material non-public information about the Purchaser not known to the Seller (“Excluded Information”) and that such Excluded Information could be material to Seller’s decision to sell the Shares or otherwise materially adverse to the Seller’s interests, and that the value of the Shares may be substantially different than the Purchase Price - 3 -

The Seller hereby waives any and all claims and causes of action now or hereafter arising against the Purchaser or any of its affiliates based upon or relating to any alleged non-disclosure of Excluded Information and further covenants not to assert any claims against or to sue the Purchaser or any of its directors, officers, employees, partners, agents or affiliates for any loss, damage or liability arising from or relating to its sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement based upon or relating to any alleged non-disclosure of Excluded Information. Section 2.6 Acknowledgements; Value of Shares. (a) The Seller acknowledges and confirms that it is aware that the Purchaser is not making any representation or warranty to the Seller whatsoever with respect to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, prospects, creditworthiness, status or affairs of the Purchaser, or with respect to the value of the Shares. The Seller acknowledges and confirms that it is aware that the closing sale price of the Purchaser’s Class B common shares (the “Stock Price”), into which the Shares convert upon certain transfers, has fluctuated since the Purchaser’s initial public offering of the Purchaser’s Class B common shares and is likely to continue to fluctuate after the Closing, including possible material increases to the Stock Price. The Seller further acknowledges and confirms that it is aware that future changes and developments in (i) the Purchaser’s business, financial condition and results of operations, (ii) the industries in which the Purchaser competes and (iii) overall market and economic conditions, may have a favorable impact on the value of the Purchaser’s Class B common shares and/or the Stock Price after the consummation of the Repurchase Transaction. (b) The Seller (i) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (iii) acknowledges that the sale of the Shares by the Seller (x) was privately negotiated in an independent transaction and (y) does not violate any rules or regulations applicable to the Seller.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to be effective as provided in Section 14 of the Confidentiality Agreement and the Seller shall not purchase any Class B common shares of the Purchaser or any other common shares of the Purchaser while it is in possession of Confidential Information that constitutes material non-public information.

Hamilton Announces Share Repurchase from Funds Affiliated with Blackstone PEMBROKE, Bermuda, May 8, 2024 – Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: HG) (“Hamilton” or “the Company”) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to repurchase 9,124,729 Class A common shares owned by funds affiliated with Blackstone Alternative Solutions LLC (“BAS”) at $12.00 per share, representing a 12.0% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class B common shares. The total purchase price for those shares is $109,496,748. The total purchase price will be funded by a loan under the Company’s revolving credit facility which the Company intends to repay with funds withdrawn from the Two Sigma Hamilton Fund. The Company expects to close the repurchase transaction on May 10, 2024 subject to customary closing conditions. The common shares purchased by Hamilton will be cancelled and the Company will have 101,878,284 shares outstanding following the repurchase transaction. “We are very pleased to have this opportunity to repurchase Hamilton shares at an attractive price and return capital to our shareholders,” said Pina Albo, CEO of Hamilton. “We are also grateful to BAS for its support and investment in Hamilton over the years. This transaction allows BAS to fully exit an investment that was made over ten years ago, resulting in meaningful earnings per share, book value per share, and ROE accretion to Hamilton shareholders. “Along with the strength of our first quarter earnings, and our recent AM Best rating upgrade, this transaction should create significant value for our shareholders, while not impeding our plans for strategic growth in both specialty insurance and reinsurance at this favorable time in the market cycle.” BAS commented, “We thank Hamilton for the partnership over the past ten years and wish them continued success in the future.” Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This information may contain forward-looking statements which reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
