    Item 8.01. Other Events.
     
     On May 29, 2025, Palomar Holdings Inc. ("Palomar" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing the successful completion of certain reinsurance programs incepting June 1, 2025, and increased the Company’s full year 2025 adjusted net income guidance. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
               
                The Company has procured approximately $455 million of incremental limit to support the growth of its Earthquake franchise. The Company’s reinsurance coverage now exhausts at $3.53 billion for earthquake events and $100 million for continental United States hurricane events. The reinsurance program provides ample capacity for the Company’s growth in the subject business lines as well as coverage to a level exceeding Palomar’s 1:250-year peak zone Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”).  
     
    The Company’s per occurrence catastrophe event retention is $11 million for hurricane events, reduced from $15.5 million the previous treaty year, and $20 million for earthquake events, levels that continue to be meaningfully within management’s previously stated guideposts of less than one quarter’s adjusted net income and less than 5% of stockholders' equity.
     
    $525 million of the $3.53 billion earthquake limit was sourced through a new catastrophe bond, Torrey Pines Re Series 2025-1. The new catastrophe bond issuance is the sixth Insurance Linked Securities (“ILS”) transaction Palomar has sponsored.
     
    Effective June 1st, the Company also executed the first standalone excess of loss (‘XOL’) treaty covering the Hawaii hurricane policies issued by Laulima Exchange ("Laulima"). This business was previously covered through Palomar’s core reinsurance tower, which now consists of over 95% earthquake-only coverage as a result of this change. Laulima’s XOL reinsurance program consists of per occurrence coverage up to $735 million with a retention of $1.5 million.
     
    Other highlights of the Company’s reinsurance program include: 
     
    ●    $1.15 billion of multi-year ILS capacity providing diversifying collateralized reinsurance capital;  
     
    ●    A reinsurance panel of 100 reinsurers and ILS investors, including multiple new reinsurers, all of which have an “A-” (Excellent) or better financial strength rating from A.M. Best and/or S&P (Standard & Poor’s) or are fully collateralized; 
     
    ●    Prepaid reinstatements for substantially all layers that include a reinstatement provision, thereby limiting the pre-tax net loss to $11 million for hurricane events and $20 million for earthquake events, with modest additional reinsurance premium due.
