Effective August 26, 2015, Conifer Holdings, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), amended its articles of incorporation to remove the provision designating the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of 60,600 shares of its previously designated Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”).  The Preferred shares were repurchased by the Company following the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on August 18, 2015 and no Preferred Shares remain outstanding.  The Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Amendment”) were previously approved by a majority of the Company’s shareholders, with the filing of the Second Amendment contingent upon the repurchase of the Preferred Shares.  The Second Amendment did not change the prior articles of incorporation in any other respect.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated in this Item 5.03 by reference.
