Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include any statement that does not directly relate to historical or current facts. These statements may discuss, among other things, Kinsale's future financial performance, business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital, dividends and general market and industry conditions. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “outlook,” “future,” “target,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “can have” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. Factors that may cause such differences include the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A of Kinsale's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other reports Kinsale files with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the SEC, Kinsale does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
