·
|
The
amount and form of the consideration to be paid by FMG to effect
the
merger, including the Piper Jaffray opinion that the transaction
is fair,
from a financial point of view, to the Company’s stockholders. From this,
and their own assessment of the transaction, the directors concluded
that
United’s value also exceeds $30,176,383, or 80% of the Company’s assets
held in its trust account.
|
|
•
|
|
As
of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $37.7 million
in
its trust account, including accrued interest (but not
taking into account
taxes payable). If the Merger is completed, the funds
in the Company’s
trust account will be available for the operations of
the Company
following the Merger, less expenses of the Merger and
amounts paid to
holders of up to 29.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued
in the Company’s initial public offering who vote against the Merger
Proposal and properly elect to convert their shares of
common stock into a
pro rata share of the amount held in the trust account
(including the
amount held in the trust account representing the deferred
portion of the
underwriters’ fee), inclusive of any interest earned on their pro rata
share (net of taxes payable). United believes that because
following the
Merger the Company will have substantially greater capitalization
than
United alone, the combined company will be in a better
position to expand
its insurance business.
|
|
•
|
|
The
Merger would allow United to increase the statutory capital
and surplus of
its insurance company subsidiaries providing it the ability
to expand the
number of property and casualty insurance policies that
it writes in the
State of Florida.
|
|
•
|
|
The
abilities and experience of the directors of the Company
who are expected
to remain as directors of the Company after the Merger
will be highly
valuable in executing its business strategy. See “Directors
and Management of the Company Following the Merger.”
|
|
•
|
|
The
Company common stock issued in the Merger will be publicly
traded, which
could provide liquidity to United’s members and provide the business with
access to the public capital markets, the ability to
attract, retain and
incentivize highly qualified employees with grants of
options for, or
other equity awards in the form of, publicly traded stock.
|
|
•
|
|
The
resulting publicly traded stock will present United with
greater ability
to use stock as acquisition or partnership currency.

Mr.
Branch was paid $120,000 for serving as Chairman of the Board
and Chief
Executive Officer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Each of the
other two directors set forth above received a retainer of $20,000
for
serving as board members. In addition, all three directors received
a fee
for each meeting attended in person or by phone, plus reimbursement
of
expenses.
|
(2)
|
Pursuant
to United’s members agreement, as amended, the Chairman of the Board, Mr.
Branch, received an option to purchase 5,454 membership units
at a total
exercise price of $400,000. On January 1, 2007, Mr. Branch, exercised
this
option and purchased such membership units. There was no compensation
cost
to United in connection with this award in accordance with FAS
123(R).
|
(3)
|
United’s
members agreement, as amended, provides that its Board of Managers
has the
discretion to grant to the Chairman of the Board an award of
additional
membership units or an option to purchase additional membership
units in
an amount, if granted, that shall be (1) no greater than the
aggregate
amount of membership units granted or, if option grants, issuable
upon the
exercise of options granted to all of United’s other officers and
managers, but (2) no less than the largest amount of membership
units
granted or, if option grants, issuable upon the exercise of options
granted to any single United officer or manager. Any such grant
of
membership units or any option award granted pursuant to the
foregoing provision shall be on the same terms and conditions
as the
awards granted to other officers and managers, provided that
the Chairman
shall have twelve months from the date the officers and managers
exercise their option awards to exercise his option award.
On January 1, 2007, United granted to the Chairman of the Board,
Mr.
Branch, an option to purchase 258 membership units, an amount equal
to the aggregate number of membership units granted by United
to its other
officers and managers, at an exercise price of $242 per unit.
Mr. Branch
exercised the entire option. There was no compensation cost to
United in
connection with this award in accordance with FAS 123(R). The
completion
of the Merger will result in the termination of any option provisions
contained in the United members agreement, as amended. Any unexercised
options held by the Chairman at the time of the Merger must be
waived as a
condition to closing the Merger.

the sum of cumulative incurred losses and estimated losses incurred
but
not reported (“IBNR”). IBNR losses are estimated based on expected average
severity, estimated ultimate claim counts and the historical development
patterns on incurred losses. Historical loss severities are adjusted
to
current levels using severity on-level factors which include a
provision
for the notable change in average claim costs between accident
years 2003
and 2004.
|
·
|
Incurred
Bornhuetter-Ferguson Loss Ratio Method – Ultimate losses are estimated as
the sum of cumulative incurred losses and estimated IBNR losses.
IBNR
losses are estimated based on on-level earned premium, expected
loss
ratios and the historical development patterns of incurred
losses.
|
·
|
Paid
Bornhuetter-Ferguson Loss Ratio Method – Ultimate losses are estimated as
the sum of cumulative paid losses and estimated IBNR losses. Unpaid
losses
are estimated based on on-level earned premium, expected loss ratios
and
the historical development of paid
losses.
|
·
|
Expected
Loss Method – Ultimate losses are estimated as the product of earned
premiums and expected loss ratios.
|
·
|
Paid
ALAE Development Method – Ultimate ALAE is estimated based on the
historical development patterns of paid ALAE by accident
year.
|
·
|
Paid
ALAE to Paid Loss Method – Ultimate ALAE is estimated as the product of
estimated ultimate losses and estimated ALAE to loss ratios. The
ALAE to
loss ratios are estimated based on the historical development patterns
of
paid ALAE to paid loss ratios.
|
·
|
Paid
Bornhuetter-Ferguson ALAE Ratio Method – Ultimate ALAE is estimated as the
sum of cumulative paid ALAE and estimated unpaid ALAE. Unpaid ALAE

Description
of Transaction and Basis of Presentation
|
(i)
|
FMG
will create a transitory merger subsidiary, United Subsidiary Corp.,
and
will merge such subsidiary with and into United, with United surviving;
and
|
(ii) |
United
will, as a result, become wholly-owned by
FMG.
|
(i) |
$25.0
million in cash;
|
(ii) |
8.75
million shares of FMG common stock, par value $.0001 per share
(assuming
an $8.00 per share value); and
|
(iii)
|
up
to $5.0 million of additional consideration will be paid to the
members of
United in the event certain net income targets are met by the continuing
entity
|
2.
|
Pro
Forma Adjustments
|
(a)
|
Reflects
the release of FMG’s cash held in trust (including the amount held in the
trust account representing the deferred portion of the underwriters’ fee),
inclusive of any interest earned on such pro rata share (net of
taxes
payable) and the transfer of the balance to cash and cash equivalents
at
the completion of the business combination.
|
(b)
|
Gives
effect to the payment to the underwriters of FMG’s initial public offering
of deferred underwriters’ fees upon completion of the merger.
|
(c)
|
Reflects
the adjustment of common stock subject to conversion as a result
of this
transaction. As shown in the balance sheet reflecting the maximum
approval
scenario, this adjustment reflects the reclassification of the
conversion
value of the FMG common stock subject to conversion to additional
paid-in
capital related to conversion shares. As shown in the balance sheet
reflecting the minimum approval scenario, this adjustment reflects
the
cash payout of the conversion value to FMG’s common stockholders who voted
against the merger and properly exercised their conversion rights
with
respect to 29.99% of the FMG common stock sold in the initial public
offering.
|
(d)
|
Reflects
the payment of $25 million and issuance of 8,750,000 shares of
FMG common
stock in exchange for the Membership interests of United, and the
reclassification of FMG’s net monetary assets to additional paid-in
capital under the reverse acquisition application of the equity
recapitalization method of accounting, where as United is treated
as the
accounting acquirer.
|
(e)
|
Reflects
that the United membership interests subject to a Put Agreement
dated
September 20, 2006, which will be cancelled and shall cease to exist upon
the consummation of the
Merger.
|
(f)
|
Adjustment
of interest income:
|
i.
|
Maximum
approval – reduction of interest income related to the payment of
approximately $26.5 million (including underwriting fees) to
the prior
shareholders of United Subsidiary Corp., plus an increase in
interest
income related to the assumption that the remaining $11.2 million
would
have been invested in a CD earning approximately
4%.
|
ii.
|
Minimum
approval – reduction of interest income due to the additional redemption
of 29.99% of the outstanding shares or approximately $11.2 million.
|
(g)
|
Adjust
income taxes due to pro forma income adjustments based on the statutory
tax rate.
|
(h)
|
Recognize
the additional tax expense related to income from the LLC subsidiaries
and
eliminate the accrual of tax distributions to members for the payment
of
taxes.
|
(i) | Reflects the income statement effect of the proforma adjustments. |

AUTHORIZED
CAPITAL STOCK
|
||
Authorized
Shares.
FMG is authorized under its Amended and Restated Certificate
of
Incorporation to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, and up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par
value $0.0001 per share. If the Second Amendment Proposal
is approved, the
Company will be authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares
of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and up to 1,000,000 shares
of
preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
|
Membership
Units.
Per its Articles of Organization and its Members Agreement,
United does
not have an authorized limit on the number of membership
units that it may
issue. As of March 31, 2008, there were 100,000 membership
units issued
and outstanding. There is only the one class of membership
units.
|
|
Preferred
Stock.
FMG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that
shares of preferred stock may be issued in one or more series
by FMG’s
board of directors. The FMG board can fix voting powers,
full or limited,
and designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or
other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions.
No
shares of preferred stock have been issued.
|
CLASSIFICATION,
NUMBER AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
|
||
The
FMG board of directors is currently divided into two classes,
with each
class serving a staggered two-year term. The FMG Bylaws currently
in
effect provide that its board of directors will consist of
not less than
one nor more than nine directors, such number to be fixed by
a vote of a
majority of FMG’s entire board of directors from time to time.
|
United’s
members agreement, as amended, provides that its board of managers
will
consist of one or more members, the exact number to be determined
from
time to time by the board of managers. The number of managers
currently
serving is six, each of whom serves a one year
term.
|
VACANCIES
ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND REMOVAL OF
DIRECTORS
|
||
Delaware
law provides that any vacancy in the board of directors shall
be filled as
the bylaws provide or in the absence of such provision, by
the board of
directors or other governing body. If, at the time of filling
of any
vacancy or newly created directorship, the directors then in
office
constitute less than a majority of the authorized number of
directors, the
Delaware Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder
or
stockholders holding at least 10% of the voting stock of the
corporation
then outstanding having the right to vote for such directors,
order an
election to be held to fill the vacancy or replace the directors
selected
by the directors then in office.
FMG’s
Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws will
provide that any vacancy in the FMG board of directors, including
vacancies resulting from any increase in the authorized number
of
directors, may be filled by a vote of the directors then
in office, even
if less than a quorum exists. Any director elected to fill
a vacancy shall
be elected until the next annual meeting of stockholders,
and until his or
her successor has been elected and qualified.
FMG’s
Bylaws currently provide that any director may be removed
for cause by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board. FMG’s bylaws provide
that any director may otherwise be removed, with or without
case, by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all of
the shares of the
stock of FMG outstanding and entitled to vote for the election
of
directors.
|
Florida
law provides that a vacancy occurring in United’s board of managers,
including a newly created manager position, may be filled by
a majority of
the remaining board of managers, although less than a quorum,
or by a
plurality of the votes cast at a members meeting. Florida law
also
provides that managers may be removed from office with or without
cause by
a vote of members holding a majority of the outstanding membership
units
entitled to vote at an election of managers.
|
|
AMENDMENTS
TO THE GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS
|
||
Under
Delaware law, an amendment to the certificate of incorporation
of a
corporation generally requires the approval of the corporation’s board of
directors and the approval of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding
stock entitled to vote upon the proposed amendment (unless
a higher vote
is required by the corporation’s certificate of
incorporation).
|
Under
Florida law, an amendment to the articles of organization of
a limited
liability company generally requires the approval of the holders
of a
majority of the outstanding membership units entitled to vote
upon the
proposed amendment (unless a higher vote is required by the
company’s
members agreement or articles of organization).
|
|
FMG’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be amended
in
accordance with the general provisions of Delaware law; provided,
however,
that Articles Third, Fifth and Sixth of FMG’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation may not be amended without the
affirmative
approval of at least 95% of the shares of common stock sold
in FMG’s IPO
unless the amendments are submitted for approval in connection
with an
acquisition by FMG, whether by merger, capital stock exchange,
asset or
stock acquisition or other similar type of transaction, of
an operating
business having a fair market value of at least 80% of the
amount in the
trust account at the time of the transaction. If the First
Amendment
Proposal is approved, the 95% threshold requirement for the
approval of an
amendment will be removed.
|
United’s
members’ agreement does not require a higher vote than the Florida
statutory limit, provided however, that no amendment that adversely
affects one particular member may be made without the prior written
consent of such member.
|
AMENDMENTS
TO BYLAWS
|
||
Under
Delaware law, stockholders entitled to vote have the power
to adopt, amend
or repeal bylaws. In addition, a corporation may, in its certificate
of
incorporation, confer this power on the board of directors.
The
stockholders always have the power to adopt, amend or repeal
the bylaws,
even though the board of directors may also be delegated the
power.
|
United
does not have bylaws as it is governed by its members
agreement.
|
|
FMG’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the FMG
board of directors, without the assent or vote of FMG stockholders,
may
make, amend or repeal the bylaws, as provided in the bylaws.
FMG’s Bylaws
provide that the bylaws may be amended, adopted or repealed
by
stockholders entitled to vote thereon at any regular or special
meeting or
by the vote of a majority of the FMG board of directors.
|
||
INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
|
||
Under
Delaware law, a corporation may generally indemnify any person
who was
made a party to a proceeding due to his/her service at the
request of the
corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation):
•
for actions taken in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the
corporation; and
•
and with respect to any criminal proceeding, if such person
had no
reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was
unlawful.
In
addition, Delaware law provides that a corporation may
advance to a
director or officer expenses incurred in defending any
action upon receipt
of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay the
amount advanced
if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled
to
indemnification.
|
Under
Florida law, a limited liability company may generally
indemnify managers,
members, officers, employees and agents from and against
any and all
claims and demands whatsoever, unless a judgment or other
final
adjudication establishes that the actions, or omissions
to act, of such
member, manager, officer, employee or agent were material
to the cause of
action so adjudicated and was:
(i) a
violation of criminal law, unless the member, manager,
officer, employee
or agent had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct
was
unlawful;
(ii) a
transaction from which the member, manager, officer,
employee or agent
derived an impersonal benefit;
(iii) in
the case of a manager, an unlawful distribution;
or
(iv) willful
misconduct or conscious disregard for the best
interests of the limited
liability
company.
|
FMG’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that FMG, to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General
Corporation Law, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify
pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an
officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative,
or
investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer
or
director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall
be paid by FMG
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director
or officer
to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
he is not
entitled to be indemnified by FMG.
FMG’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that no
director of FMG shall be personally liable to FMG or to any
stockholder
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director;
provided,
however, that liability of a director shall not be limited
or eliminated
(i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to FMG or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
for any
transaction from which the director or officer derived an
improper
personal benefit.
FMG’s
Bylaws provide that FMG shall indemnify any person who
was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by
or in the right
of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
and that FMG shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the
right of FMG to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that
the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of
FMG.

(I) |
LEGAL/REGULATORY
RISKS—the risk that changes in the regulatory environment in which
an
insurer operates will create additional expenses not anticipated
by the
insurer in pricing its products. That is, regulatory initiatives
designed
to reduce insurer profits, restrict underwriting practices
and risk
classifications, mandate rate reductions and refunds, and
new legal
theories or insurance company insolvencies through guaranty
fund
assessments may create costs for the insurer beyond those
recorded in the
financial statements. We attempt to mitigate this risk by
monitoring
proposed regulatory legislation and by assessing the impact
of new laws.
As we write business only in the state of Florida, we are
more exposed to
this risk than more geographically-balanced
companies.
|
(II) |
CREDIT
RISK—the risk that financial instruments, which potentially subject
the
Company to concentrations of credit risk, may decline in
value or default,
or the risk that reinsurers to which business is ceded and
from which
receivables are recorded on the balance sheet may not pay.
The Company
minimizes this risk by adhering to a conservative investment
strategy and
entering into reinsurance agreements with financially sound
reinsurers.
The Company maintains deposits, in excess of the federally
insured limits
(“FDIC”). SFAS 105 identifies this situation as a concentration
of credit
risk requiring disclosure, regardless of the degree of risk.
At December
31, 2007, cash at one financial institution exceeded the
$100 FDIC
coverage by $56,752. At December 31, 2006, the amounts that
exceeded the
FDIC coverage at two financial institutions were $4,988 and
$41,057,
respectively. This risk is managed by maintaining all deposits
in high
quality financial
institutions.
|
(III) |
INTEREST
RATE RISK—the risk that interest rates will change and cause a decrease
in
the value of an insurer's investments. To the extent that
liabilities come
due more quickly than assets mature, an insurer might have
to sell assets
prior to maturity and potentially recognize a gain or a loss.
This risk is
managed by the monitoring of the investment portfolio by
management, the
investment committee and the Company’s outside investment
manager.
