Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 15, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Repurchase and Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hale Partnership Capital Management, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Hale Parties”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase (exclusive of any fees or expenses) all of the 1,130,152 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) owned, of record or beneficially, by the Hale Parties as of the Effective Date, in exchange for an aggregate $2,752,617 in cash and 330,231 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FedNat Holding Company previously owned by the Company (the “FedNat Shares”). As acknowledged by the Hale Parties in the Agreement, that certain Standstill Agreement, dated December 2, 2019, by and between FedNat Holding Company and the Company, imposes certain restrictions in respect of the FedNat Shares transferred by the Company to the Hale Parties. FedNat Holding Company is not party to, or a third-party beneficiary of, the Agreement.

The Agreement contains certain customary standstill provisions that, for a period of five years commencing on the Effective Date (the “Standstill Period”), prohibit, among other things, the Hale Parties from (i) making certain announcements regarding the Company’s transactions, (ii) soliciting proxies, (iii) acquiring ownership of any securities of the Company, (iv) advising, encouraging or influencing any vote or disposition of any securities of the Company, (v) selling securities of the Company resulting in any third party owning more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Agreement), (vi) taking actions to change or influence the Board of Directors of the Company, Company management or the direction of certain Company matters and (vii) exercising certain stockholder rights. The Company and the Hale Parties further agreed that they will not disparage each other and that they will not initiate any lawsuit, claim or proceeding with respect to any claims against the Company or any of the Hale Parties, as applicable, based on facts known as of the Effective Date, in each case applicable during the Standstill Period, and to a mutual release of claims.

Each of the Company and the Hale Parties has the right to terminate the Agreement prior to the end of the Standstill Period if (i) any of the Hale Parties, in the case of the Company, or (ii) the Company, in the case of the Hale Parties, commits a material breach of the Agreement and such breach is not cured within 15 days after notice is given to the breaching party.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
