Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 9, 2022, Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into Amendment No. 3, dated as of June 9, 2022 (the “Amendment”), to Convertible Senior Secured Delayed-Draw Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated, February 2, 2022, and Amendment No. 2, dated March 25, 2022, the “Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), with Sheridan Road Partners, LLC, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the Agent”), the lenders party to the Credit Agreement (the “Original Lenders”) and the new lenders party to the Amended Credit Agreement (the “New Lenders” and, together with the Original Lenders, the “Lenders”).

Pursuant to the Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility available to the Borrowers under the Amended Credit Facility (the “Term Loans”) was increased from $3,000,000 to $6,200,000, with such additional amount to be loaned to the Borrowers by the New Lenders added as lenders pursuant to the Amendment, and the maturity date of the Term Loans was extended six months to June 30, 2024. Additionally, the Amendment relieves the Borrowers of the requirement to provide a perfected second-priority security interest in the Company’s headquarters to the Agent. The Amendment also requires the Company to maintain no fewer than three directors and, from and after July 31, 2022, for a majority of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to consist of directors who do not have a material relationship with any of the Borrowers and who are reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders. Such Board expansion is consistent with the Board’s previously disclosed intention to seek new independent directors to join the Board in due course, following the Company’s annual general meeting of stockholders, as described in the Company’s proxy statement.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Borrower is no longer obligated to maintain certain levels of minimum liquidity until the quarter ending June 30, 2023, at which point the Borrower is required to maintain $500,000 of qualifying cash in a deposit account on each day of the quarter, with such minimum amount of qualifying cash increasing by $125,000 each subsequent quarter until the expiration of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also requires the Borrowers to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a first-priority perfected security interest in the assets of, or the equity interests in, Anchor Group Management, Inc. on or before January 1, 2023.

The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report. The description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 15, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the Amendment. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information disclosed under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act.
