Global Indemnity Group, LLC Announces Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operations Officer Departures, Names Chief Executive Officer, Appoints a New Director, and Announces Share Buyback Authorization

Global Indemnity Group, LLC (NYSE:GBLI) ("GBLI"), today announced that David S. Charlton, Chief Executive Officer, and Reiner R. Mauer, Chief Operations Officer, are no longer officers or directors of GBLI (including its subsidiaries).

GBLI's board of directors appointed Joseph W. Brown, 73, as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Brown has served as a GBLI director since December 2015 and will remain on GBLI's board of directors. Mr. Brown has close to 50 years of insurance industry experience, including prior tenures as a director, chairman, and chief executive officer of MBIA, Inc. (NYSE:MBI), chairman of the board of Safeco, chairman of the board of Talegen Holdings, Inc., chairman of Noblr, and president and chief executive officer of Fireman's Fund Insurance Company.

GBLI also announced that Jason B. Hurwitz, 50, rejoined GBLI's board of directors. Mr. Hurwitz had previously served on GBLI's board from September 2017 to January 2022. Mr. Hurwitz is a partner with Osier Capital LLC, an investment firm focused on insurance and other long-term investments. As a principal and advisor during his career, Mr. Hurwitz completed 28 corporate acquisitions or divestitures totaling over $5 billion and served on the boards of directors of eight of these companies. Mr. Hurwitz will join GBLI's Audit Committee.

Saul Fox, GBLI's chairman, and whose investment firm, Fox Paine & Company (including its affiliates), owns approximately 40% of GBLI's shares stated: "I wish to thank David Charlton and Reiner Mauer for their significant contributions to GBLI during their 18-month and 16-month respective tenures with GBLI. However, GBLI's board of directors believes that the company would be best served at this time by Jay Brown as its Chief Executive Officer, given Jay's vast experience as a chief executive and as a board chairman of several prominent and highly esteemed property & casualty insurance companies, where Jay orchestrated enterprise transformative results. Jay's decades of insurance company senior leadership expertise will be of tremendous value to GBLI as it transitions to an information technology and data driven casualty lines focused provider." Jay Brown added: "It has been a terrific experience as a director working with the GBLI board and management team over the past 5 years developing the long-term strategy for our company. I look forward to shifting to the senior executive role at the company leading the effort to make that vision a reality."

GBLI also announced that it will commence a stock repurchase program beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022. Repurchases of up to $32 million of GBLI's currently outstanding A Common Shares have been authorized by GBLI's board of directors. The authorization to repurchase will expire on December 31, 2027. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities.

Under the repurchase program, repurchases may be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, all in compliance with GBLI's Insider Trading Policy, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and other applicable legal requirements.

The repurchase program does not obligate GBLI to acquire any particular amount of A Common Shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at GBLI's discretion.
