Item 8.01 Other Events.
Hurricane Hermine made landfall in Florida on Friday, September 2, 2016, as a Category 1 hurricane. The storm bands affected the Panhandle and the west coast of Florida as far south as the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. The hurricane quickly diminished to a tropical storm and traveled up the east coast of the United States over the weekend. Federated National Insurance Company’s insureds have incurred wind and water related loses. We currently anticipate that Federated National Insurance Company will have losses totaling approximately $4.0 million, net of reinsurance, in connection with this storm. Monarch National Insurance Company’s losses in connection to this hurricane are expected to be minimal. The Company has reinsurance that covers $1.58 billion in excess of $18.45 million of covered losses and has deployed the appropriate resources to best serve our policyholders in their time of need.
