Item 5.02     Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On April 1, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Palomar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a process to reclassify the membership of the Board’s three Director classes into three classes of equal size. In order to achieve an equal apportionment of membership among the Board’s three classes of Directors, the Board determined that one of its members should be reclassified from Class II (with a term expiring at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders) to Class III (with a term expiring at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders).  Accordingly, effective April 1, 2020, Martha Notaras, a member of the Board, resigned from her position as a Class II Director, subject to and conditioned upon her immediate reappointment as a Class III Director. The Board accepted Ms. Notaras’ resignation and immediately reappointed her as a Class III Director. The resignation and reappointment of Ms. Notaras was effected solely for the purpose of reclassifying the members of the Board into three classes of equal size, and for all other purposes, Ms. Notaras’ service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted.

Following Ms. Notaras’ reappointment as a Class III Director, each of the Company’s three classes of Directors consists of two members. There were no changes to Ms. Notaras’ committee assignments or compensation as a non-employee director as a result of the resignation as a Class II director and appointment as a Class III director. Ms. Notaras’ decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. There were no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Notaras and any other persons pursuant to which she was elected as a director, and there are no related persons transactions (within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) between Ms. Notaras and the Company required to be disclosed herein.
