The terms of the Notes provide that the Notes will become convertible during a quarter, when the HCI closing share price for 20 trading days during the final 30 trading days of the immediately preceding quarter was greater than 130% of the Conversion Price of $80.54. HCI’s common shares closed at more than 130% above the Conversion Price each day of the final 30 trading days of the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, the Notes became convertible beginning January 1, 2025 and will remain convertible at least through March 31, 2025.

All Holders who wish to convert their Notes into shares of HCI common stock must provide a Notice of Conversion to HCI. The requirements for such notice can be found in Section 13.02(b) of the Indenture by and between HCI and the Bank of New York Mellon, attached as Exhibit 4.1 to HCI’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2022. Upon a Holder’s election to convert Notes, HCI will have the option to elect a Settlement Method – Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement. HCI states that for all Notices of Conversion received on or before the close of business on March 31, 2025, HCI plans to select Physical Settlement and settle such conversions fully in HCI common stock, at the current conversion ratio of approximately 12.4166 shares of HCI common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

HCI states further it is considering a full redemption of the Notes on June 5, 2025, if the conditions for redemption are met. The Company has the right to redeem the existing 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2042 at any time after June 5, 2025 if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period.
