Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

On September 27, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”), effective as of such date. The Code of Ethics applies to all officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller. The changes to the Code of Ethics clarify the reporting requirements pursuant to the Code of Ethics and how conflicts of interest should be addressed within the Company. The foregoing description of the amendments to the Code of Ethics is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the amended Code of Ethics, which is attached as Exhibit 14 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Code of Ethics will also be available on the Company’s website at www.1347pih.com. The amendments to the Code of Ethics are intended as clarifications and do not result in any waiver to any officer, director or employee of the Company, explicit or implicit, from any provision of the Code of Ethics as in effect prior to the Board’s action to approve amendments to the Code of Ethics.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”) of the Company will be held on Tuesday, December 17, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., local time, at 4201 Congress Street, Suite 175, Charlotte, North Carolina 28209. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2019 Annual Meeting was set by the Board as October 29, 2019.

Because the 2019 Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days after the anniversary of the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is informing its stockholders of the revised deadlines for the submission of stockholder proposals. Stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for presentation at the 2019 Annual Meeting must comply with Exchange Act Rule 14a-8. Any stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting must be submitted to the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send proxy materials (that is, no later than close of business on October 10, 2019). The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the Company’s proxy materials.

Stockholders wishing to submit proposals for the 2019 Annual Meeting outside the process of Exchange Act Rule 14a-8 or nominate individuals to the Board must comply with the advance notice and other provisions of Article I, Section 4 of the Company’s bylaws. Since the date of the 2019 Annual Meeting is more than 60 days after the anniversary date of the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be timely, a notice by the stockholder must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2019 Annual Meeting is first made (that is, no later than close of business on October 10, 2019). The bylaws specify the information that must accompany any such stockholder notices.

Stockholder proposals should be addressed to 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc., Secretary of the Corporation, 1511 N. Westshore Blvd, Suite 870, Tampa, Florida 33607.
