Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Fortress Credit Amendment

On August 3, 2015, Tiptree Operating Company, LLC (“Operating Company”), the subsidiary through which Tiptree Financial Inc. (“Tiptree”) conducts its operations, entered into a Second Amendment (the “Credit Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement dated as of September 18, 2013 by and among Operating Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Fortress Credit Corp., as administrative agent, collateral agent and lead arranger (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Amendment provides that any mandatory prepayment in connection with the sale of PFG Holdings Acquisition Corp. and Philadelphia Financial Group, Inc. shall be used to prepay all outstanding term loans and reduce the remaining scheduled installments pro rata (rather than to reduce the incremental term loans only).

The foregoing description of the Credit Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Reliance Securities Purchase Amendment

On August 4, 2015, Tiptree, Operating Company and Reliance Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Operating Company (together with Operating Company and Tiptree, the “Buyer Group”) entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2015 (as so amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Buyer Group, Reliance First Capital, LLC (“Reliance”) and each equityholder of Reliance (the “Reliance Sellers”).

The Second Amendment amends the definition of “Excluded Items” to exclude certain third party costs and other related non-recurring expenses. Excluded Items, as the term is used in the Purchase Agreement, are added back into the calculation of Annual EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), which is used to determine if additional consideration is payable to the Reliance Sellers under the Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
